Chapter 661: Chapter 661: Uninvited Guest

A moment later, Zhuola let out a cold laugh, her voice hoarse as she said, "Do you really think I would reveal my last trump card to you?"

"Do you really think defying me is a wise decision?" Zhao Lang laughed and said, "I have been wasting my time with you for three whole days now, and I’ve run out of patience."

"I’ve already sent out the news of your defection to the mercenary organization in the M country, and now there are only three choices in front of you. Non-cooperation means I’ll have to send you back to them to deal with as they please. If you cooperate, I’ll be very polite to you, and on the mercenary side, I’ll find someone to smooth things over for you."

"You’re a smart person, so choose wisely."

Zhao Lang’s voice was very light, and in this empty room, it seemed even more ethereal.

It was like the sound of the reaper, tightly seizing Zhuola’s spirit.

She thought of her dark days spent in that organization, shuddering with fear at the thought.

If they caught her again, she would likely be tormented to the point of wishing for death!

She absolutely could not go back!

With this thought, Zhuola clenched her teeth and raised her head angrily looking towards Zhao Lang.

"How can I be sure that my life will be safe after I reveal the identities of those people? They are as terrifying as the organization."

The mercenaries overseas torture people by physical means.

And her master...

The thought of those poisonous insects and spells used on others scared her, let alone what she had experienced herself.

"They have my birthdate, and if they find out I have betrayed them, I won’t get off easily."

"Don’t worry about that; I will figure out a way to handle it," Zhao Lang said as he let go of her and rubbed his wrist bone, "As long as you make them believe that you’re dead, that’s all that matters."

Zhuola laughed coldly in reply, "My master knows everything. Trying to convince him that I’m dead is harder than reaching the heavens! He can simply stretch out his hand and feel my state of being."

"Indeed, I don’t have that ability, but there must be someone who does."

"Jiang Li."

Upon hearing that name, Zhuola’s pupils contracted again.

The woman who had foiled her plans again and again, and had even blown up the evil town?!

If it were her...

Zhuola’s expression softened slightly, "Does she have a way?"

"Definitely."

A few minutes later, Zhuola finally gave in.

"Alright, I’ll tell you—"

Coming out from the basement, Zhao Lang’s expression not only failed to ease but became even more severe.

The danger of that group far exceeded his expectations.

It looked like his trip to Southern Fujian had to be more cautious.

"How’s Miss Jiang and the others?"

"Still at the Hai City Renmin Hospital," Pei Ye reported truthfully.

"Did she leave the house? Did anything unusual happen?"

After all, Jiang Li was now the recipient of a five-hundred-million-dollar bounty, and who knew how many people were green with envy and thinking of making a move on her.

"The people we sent to protect them are already on the way, but it seems Miss Jiang had anticipated this and went out tonight, meeting someone."

Zhao Lang paused, "Who?"

"Ji Yanbai," Pei Ye said, "Miss Jiang signed a contract with him to become her personal bodyguard."

Hearing the words "personal bodyguard," Zhao Lang’s expression darkened once more.

That Ji Yanbai was no simple character either.

Why did Ah Li choose him?

Sighing, Zhao Lang regretted his past decisions, grinding his teeth, "If only I had kept you, she wouldn’t have taken a fancy to that guy!"

Pei Ye: ?

Are you serious, young master?

After all, he had given his heart to the wrong person.

...

Late at night.

Ji Yanbai sat in the duty room, his eyes fixed unblinkingly on the screen in front of him.

To his right was a security guard, sound asleep, and to his left was Mu Ye, who was showing off the barbecue he had.

"I always said Miss Jiang was a good person," Mu Ye munched vigorously on the lamb in his mouth, "Not only did she help you clear your debts, but she also spent so much money to have you as a bodyguard. Being a personal bodyguard is quite respectable, I’ve asked around with the brothers in the underworld, and they say that the treatment for these heirs and heiresses’ bodyguards is not worse than that of senior executives."

Ji Yanbai frowned with disdain, "Can’t your mouth be stopped even with food stuffed in it?"

Mu Ye stuck out his tongue and stopped talking.

He and Ji Yanbai were middle school classmates, both having grown up in Hai City. Although they weren’t particularly close, they were acquaintances.

That’s why, on Deserted Island, Ji Yanbai hadn’t been too harsh on him.

Like Ji Yanbai, Mu Ye didn’t do too well in Hai City either. Aside from delivering food, he would hang out with his rascally friends.

Except for now.

Ji Yanbai had called him over with a phone call. He didn’t say what it was for, just gave some brief instructions and dragged him to the security office.

As night deepened, Mu Ye began to feel sleepy.

He started complaining again, becoming restless.

"Brother Ji, we’re not really going to sit here staring at each other all night, am I—"

"Silence," Ji Yanbai’s voice darkened as he continued to watch the screen.

In the surveillance footage of the rear courtyard of the hospital’s inpatient department, a sudden flicker could be seen in the lower left corner.

The resolution of the night vision equipment wasn’t high, but with the intuition of a special forces soldier, Ji Yanbai sensed something amiss.

"There’s a situation, come with me!"

...

At two in the morning, Jiang Li’s door was knocked on.

When she yawned and opened the door, three large sacks were thrown inside.

Jiang Li instantly awoke and then saw Ji Yanbai and Mu Ye follow in.

"What... what’s going on?"

After closing the door, Ji Yanbai clapped his hands.

"We found these in the bushes below this building. They were trying to climb up using the water pipes but got knocked out by Mu Ye and me. Also, I found that our car was intentionally sabotaged, with an explosive device installed inside—quite simple—and I’ve already diffused it."

Jiang Li only hesitated for a moment before she understood, then poured herself a cup of warm water and sat down on the couch nearby. freēwēbηovel.c૦m

"You think they came for me?"

"Yes," Ji Yanbai nodded, "Someone leaked your whereabouts. Mu Ye has already discovered their identities; they’re connected to Hai City’s gambling scene."

"You’ve done well, Bodyguard Ji." Jiang Li chuckled, "It seems you are indeed suited to this line of work."

Under the light, Jiang Li’s face was especially gentle. She was only wearing a thin nightgown, and her soft voice immediately made Ji Yanbai blush.

"You’re overpraising me, Miss Jiang....."

"Psh, a little thing like this, of course, Brother Ji and I would handle it well," Mu Ye casually draped an arm around Ji Yanbai’s shoulders, puffing up with pride, "These guys really don’t know their own weight, daring to target Sister Li."

"It’s probably not that simple," Jiang Li spoke calmly after taking a sip of water, "Did you search them? Did you find anything else?"
