Chapter 292 - Guan Xin Taken Hostage
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Hahaâ¦â¦ Lin Yi chuckled internally- it was true: good thing he didnât choose the room they were in, since Lin Yi wouldâve killed him without hesitation with Tang Yin in immediate danger.
âShould we go check it out, boss?â Xiaobo was a little curious- this wasnât a chance youâd get every day.
âSure.â Lin Yi didnât mind. He turned to Tang Yin. âYou going?â
âUmâ¦â¦â Tang Yin was both afraid and curious at the same time.
âYou guys are still going out there?â Xinwen wasnât expecting this- sheâd ran back to warn them not to go out, too!
âThe police are right there, we should be fine right?â Xiaobo said as he walked towards the door.
He opened it to see the hallway packed with people, some of them patients and some of them staff of the hospital. The police had isolated their part of the hallway to stop the onlookers from getting too close as well.
Lingshan was being filled in by Wangli as they made their way to the scene.
âThe nurse taken hostage was Guan Xin, twenty years old, just graduated. She was having Liu Bojiaâs medicine changed when Huang Guanya made his move on Liu Bojia, taking Guan Xin hostage as she was thereâ¦â¦â Wangli reported.
âWhat? Guan Xin?â Lin Yi had just exited the room- the duo were right in front of him when Wangli mentioned Guan Xinâs name,
âLin Yi? Whyâre you here??â Lingshan paused from seeing Lin Yi as well.
Lin Yiâs worry for Guan Xin did affect Tang Yin a bit, but she didnât say anything about it- after all, she herself felt her heart tighten upon hearing that it was Guan Xin who had been taken hostage. She was still a bit hostile towards her, but the undeniable truth here was that the two had become friends already after their time with each other- at the end of the day, Guan Xin getting into trouble like this still worried her.
Lin Yi didnât answer the question- he looked to Wangli instead. âLiu Bro, you said Guan Xin was the hostage?â
âWhy, you know her?â Wangli was pretty familiar with Lin Yi at this point- heâd driven him back home with that shark the other day, after all.
âYeah, a friend of mine.â Lin Yi nodded. âIâll go over for a look?â
Lingshan frowned, but didnât say anything- Lin Yi was good, at least good enough to be a bodyguard. There might be some chance of turning this around if he knew the hostage.
Guanya knew who she was, after all, and heâd be on full alert if it were Lingshan who entered the scene. Yet there wasnât anyone stronger than her in the team other than Huaijun!
Having Lin Yi deal with Guanya might actually be the optimal choice here.
Although, Lingshan didnât want Lin Yi to help out- there was the concern that he wasnât capable enough, and the fact that having the bastard help her once more would only make her susceptible to more weird requests in the futureâ¦â¦
âDonât give me that crap.â Guanya said as he looked at the expert in front of him. âGet me five hundred thousand in cash and a helicopter with a full tank- Iâll kill this girl if you donât!!â
Guanya licked his lips as a violent look flashed across his eyes- the blade he held against Guan Xinâs neck was gripped tight and already digging into her flesh a littleâ¦â¦
The expert, on the other hand, was sweating- this man had absolutely no intention of hearing him out, and kept on describing how heâd twirled a three-year-old kid to death in a washing machine insteadâ¦â¦
âFine, I promise you!â Lingshanâs voice sounded. âBut you need to make sure the hostage is safe!â
Lingshan didnât have any other choice- she had to make sure the hostage was safe! Her responsibility for any damage to the girl would be huge as the captain of the criminal police⦠She was currently a substitute captain, but she might as well not think about getting promoted if things went south here today. She might even get demoted!
âStay away!!â Guanyaâs eye flared upon seeing Lingshan- he was a little afraid of this woman; he wouldnât be able to take her on at all, and letting her get any closer would put him in a very dangerous spot!
âAlright, Iâll stay away.â Lingshan frowned- sheâd planned on closing the distance unnoticed so as to lunge at him when she got close enough, but Guanya seemed smart enough to understand Lingshanâs capabilities. He wasnât taking any chances with her.
âHave your men put their guns down and back off.â Guanya ordered.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âAlright, all of you put your guns downâ¦â¦â Lingshan waved to the men behind her.
Their priority here was the hostageâs safety- they couldnât shoot unless they had a clear shot to instantly eliminate Guanya.
âGet me some food, Iâm hungry!â Guanya said. âDonât even think about poisoning the food, Iâll have this girl test it first! You make a call and have the hospital canteen send food to me right now!â
âAlright!!â Lingshan nodded as her head plotted- sheâd been delighted to hear Guanya ask for food, since sheâd be able to poison it, but the guy was smart, even telling her to have the canteen deliver the food⦠Itâd be incredibly difficult to have anything done to the food in that window of time.
âDonât mind me, shoot him! Heâs stabbed the patient, heâll be in danger if we donât treat him!!â Guan Xin called out suddenly.
Lingshan only remembered then that there was still a Liu Bojia in the room! Her face paled- sheâd been so preoccupied with Guanya that sheâd forgotten!
âFuck! You damn bitch, you wanna die?? Iâm gonna rape you and cut your flesh to pieces!!â Guanya wasnât expecting this nurse to actually go against him! He pressed the knife against Guan Xinâs neck, and blood seeped outâ¦â¦
âCalm down!! Did you forget about your terms??â Lingshan called out.
It really was a good chance for her men to headshot Guanya earlier, but Lingshan didnât dare risk that! She couldnât take any chances!
âHmph, donât bother threatening me!!â Guanyaâs lips curled in disdain.
It was at that moment that the food from the canteen arrived- the young employee with the tray froze upon seeing the scene, and turned to run after the shockâ¦...
