Chapter 329 - I Don't Know What To Feel

None of the Bluewater were expecting this turn of events- n.o.body expected their own guy to just headshot their leader!!

They were only starting to get confused when Lin Yi picked the cool girl up with Jinbiao .

Lin Yi was already at his car by the time they went through the confusion, and had thrown the girl in the back by the time they'd come to their senses…

Jinbiao's legs were all soft at that point . He knew about how normal killing and kidnapping was at Bluewater, but none of that ever happened to him firsthand!

Yet here he was, right smack in the middle of an actual shooting . He'd be a corpse if Lin Yi hadn't reacted so quickly…

"Get in the car, what're you doing?! Don't make me leave without you!" Lin Yi said impatiently . What was the guy standing there for??

"B-Bro… My legs… they're all soft… Can you help me out a bit……" Jinbiao said with a bitter face, not daring to p.i.s.s Lin Yi off . The guy was a monster! He'd killed the leader with one unhesitant shot and bailed the place with two people on him! No normal human could do something that insane .

Lin Yi walked over with quick steps and kicked Jinbiao in, closing the door behind him before he got in the driver's seat .

They were on the move the next instant, and parked in the hotel's parking lot by the time the Bluewater had dispatched their pursuing cars…

Yang Qiqi woke up to feel her shoulder bleeding from the bullet wound- she'd been enduring the pain as she made her escape, only to have another bullet hit her leg as she did so… She tripped herself from the impact and fainted from the blood loss .

But Qiqi had willpower stronger than most- she hadn't been completely unconscious even under all that blood loss, managing to wake herself up…

She'd actually regained some awareness when Lin Yi picked her up, her feelings a bit too complicated to process .

He'd saved her again!! Her debt towards him… Was she still allowed to kill him with a debt this big? 

Qiqi feigned unconsciousness even when she was awake because of that .

"Go up with my room key and don't look suspicious . " Lin Yi handed his room card to Jinbiao . "I'm not gonna do anything for you if you get spotted . "

"Ah… okay……" Jinbiao didn't want to go up on his own, but there was no point dilly dallying here- Lin Yi wouldn't care what he had to say . There was that a.s.sa.s.sin girl in the backseat, too- what sort of relations.h.i.+p did she have with Lin Yi? Jinbiao didn't dare ask .

He was about to walk into the hotel when LIn Yi called out to him . "Wait! Take the hat off!"

Going in with that hat would attract attention- there was no telling how things would turn out if the Bluewater came looking for them here and asking the staff questions .

"Y-Yes!!" Jinbiao took the hat off; the thought had evidently crossed his mind as well . Lin Yi sure was a cautious man .

"Go up yourself, through the back door . Try not to let anyone see you . " Lin Yi said faintly .

The Bluewater wouldn't think that Xie Jinbiao had been released- their attention was currently focused on the a.s.sa.s.sin girl and the two Bluewater 'traitors', but… better safe than sorry .

"I understand! I'll be careful!" Jinbiao's legs were still wobbly, but they were more or less functional . Not listening to Lin Yi, on the other hand, wasn't something he wanted to do- he didn't want Lin Yi to abandon him .

Lin Yi turned to the backseat after watching Jinbiao go in the hotel . "Still alive? Tell me where you live!"

"Kanha Hotel……" Qiqi tried to put on a grateful look on her pale face . "Thanks……"

"No need to thank me, alright? Just stop trying to kill me . " Lin Yi said, unaffected by the grat.i.tude .

"Can you turn on the lights back here? I wanna pull the bullets out first…" She'd definitely attract attention if she just went back to the hotel like this- stopping the blood after pulling out the bullets would make her less conspicuous, especially if she wrapped herself in a jacket .

"You'd attract attention if you turn the lights on . " Lin Yi wanted to scold this girl . "Who the h.e.l.l's your mentor? How are you an a.s.sa.s.sin at that skill level, how're you still alive???"

"I……" Qiqi's face was a little red as she glared at Lin Yi angrily . "Don't talk about my s.h.i.+fu like that! It's… It's only my second mission! My mom says that people grow from their failures…… . "

"Second… time?" Lin Yi didn't know what to say . "So that time in Songshan, that was your first time?"

"Yeah……" Qiqi hmphed softly with a nod .

"You…… I don't know what to feel . " Lin Yi was going insane . "I get how're you still alive now- because you b.u.mped into me both times! That's why you're still alive!"

Two missions, two injuries? What kind of a.s.sa.s.sin was this? What? Kind?!

Lin Yi didn't know what to say- this girl looked so tough and cool only to be a big weak softie on the inside!

"I'm not that bad, okay… I'm just a bit down on luck……" Qiqi lowered her head, a little embarra.s.sed .

"I think I'm more down on luck than you are . " Lin Yi smiled bitterly . "Who even permitted you to go on missions? You have… basically zero experience……"

"I… I mean, everyone goes through that stage! That's how you get strong!" Qiqi retorted .

"Fine, I'll embrace this bad luck, okay? Tell me where the bullet is, I'll get it out for you . " Lin Yi didn't want to turn on the lights- it'd grab the attention of curious pa.s.sersby .

"Right shoulder and left leg……" Qiqi said softly .

"Give me your dagger . It's clean, right?" Lin Yi said as Qiqi handed him the weapon .

Chapter 330 - Hope We Never See Each Other Again

"Yeah……" Qiqi nodded .

"Well? Take your clothes off! What're you doing?" Lin Yi eyed the girl looking blankly at him .

"My… My clothes? Do I have to?" Qiqi said .

"Just open up the shoulder part . " Lin Yi frowned . "I saw everything the last time, and I'm not interested in a girl dead set on killing me for revenge . "

"You think I'm interested?!" A flash of rage flashed across Qiqi's face, but she pulled her collar down anyway, revealing her snow white shoulder… There was a prominent hole of blood in it .

"Shh!" Lin Yi's eyes were focused on her shoulder as he made a quick, light line with the blade, giving the bullet a quick flick outwards onto the chair .

He took out his self-made herbal salve and applied it on the wound, telling her not to pull her clothes back up just yet .

"Okay……" Her wounds had healed miraculously fast the last time Lin Yi healed her- her flesh had finished regenerating that very night . She found Lin Yi's skill with salves very impressive .

The key point was how there weren't any scars, much to Qiqi's amazement . a.s.sa.s.sins expected frequent injuries, but she was still a girl who'd mind a scar on her body . Lin Yi's salve seemed to prevent that .

The salve was something Lin Yi prepared for himself, something he brought with him each time he went on a mission for emergency situations . The mission's ease turned out to have benefitted Qiqi .

He then turned his attention to Qiqi's leg- she'd rolled her pants up already .

He removed the bullet with the same slice and flick before applying the salve .

"Done . Don't do stuff like that anymore, it's too dangerous for you- a.s.sa.s.sination isn't for you!" Lin Yi advised seriously . "You look cool and all, just like an a.s.sa.s.sin, but… a.s.sa.s.sins don't really look cool in real life, like me…"

"You……" Qiqi's eyes were wide open . Weren't all a.s.sa.s.sins supposed to be cool . . ? Her mother looked cool just like her, too . Cold… She only had a smile on her face when dad was around……

"All right, I'll get you back . Kanha Hotel, right? Tell me how to get there . " Lin Yi turned back to the wheel without giving Qiqi a chance to speak .

"Go straight… Turn right there……" Qiqi's cool face was written with worry as she gave Lin Yi the directions . Was she really not cut out for a.s.sa.s.sin work? This guy must be making it up, he must be lying… Yes, he was scared that she'd get stronger than him and off him!!! Hmph! That had to be the case! Lin Yi, huh? Just you wait… I'll get stronger than you sooner or later……

"You're okay at roads, I guess that's a pa.s.s for an a.s.sa.s.sin still . " Earning Lin Yi's praise was something Qiqi was just about to get happy over when Lin Yi interrupted . "But you'd be better suited as a tour guide, or a taxi driver!"

"You-!!" Qiqi was quite p.i.s.sed off- this guy was just trying to find new ways to tell her that she couldn't be an a.s.sa.s.sin! Hmph! What was with this guy, did he never fail a single mission in his life before?

"Hey . Why were you at the factory this late at night? Have you never failed a mission before?" Qiqi asked, irritated .

"To get someone out, that guy from earlier . " Lin Yi said candidly . "Failing at a mission, though- that's a taste I don't know yet . "

"Yeah, right!" Qiqi said doubtfully . "Hey . That herbal salve's pretty good, can you give me some?"

"Excuse me, aren't you the person who tried to kill me earlier?" Lin Yi asked, amused .

"Come on, I'll pay you for it then… How much do you wanna sell it for……" Qiqi muttered, embarra.s.sed by the sarcasm .

"It's a DIY salve, a priceless item . " Lin Yi looked at the girl . "But I can give you the rest of the bottle just because you have that ring on . "

Lin Yi tossed the girl his salve .

"Thanks……" Qiqi was quite delighted- Lin Yi was right . This thing really was a priceless item .

"Don't think you can just go out and get shot just because you have that . Just stay home and do other stuff, the a.s.sa.s.sin life doesn't suit you . " Lin Yi got out the car and bought some casual clothing at the store next to the hotel .

Qiqi was just about to make a retort when Lin Yi left the car all of a sudden, leaving her no target to vent her frustration on .

"Put this on and go up yourself . " Lin Yi said as he got back in the car .

Qiqi was waiting to snap back at Lin Yi when he was coming back, but he handed her some clothes- the gesture touched her .

"I…… I'm going then . Seeya……" Qiqi said as she got off the car .

"Hope not . I won't save you next time, it'll save me the trouble . " Lin Yi waved his hand helplessly before driving off .

Qiqi stomped her foot in frustration- what the h.e.l.l?! The wound started hurting after the first stomp, and she had no choice but to hold it in, at least until she made it back to the hotel room……

What Qiqi was curious about, however, was the whereabouts of Grandpa Mubei- didn't he say that he'd watch over her at the Bluewater HQ entrance? Where was he? And why didn't he stop Lin Yi from bringing her to his car?

Mubei had actually been waiting at the factory entrance, about to enter the scene and save Qiqi when Lin Yi got to her before him……

He made sure it was Lin Yi before leaving for the hotel room relieved… After all, Lin Yi was the favoured pupil of the organization's leader… Why would he worry when Lin Yi was with Qiqi?

But the miss didn't seem to know him . . ? The two interacted when they were only four or five years old, so maybe it was natural that they wouldn't remember each other after getting separated when they were seven or eight . Mubei himself recognized Lin Yi only after looking at his recent personal info .
