Chapter 324 - Cool Girl
Beauty and the Bodyguard
âThere wonât be. Here, write my phone number down- give me a call if anyone messes with youâ¦â York paused and took his hat off for Lin Yi. âHere, take my cap- the cops in this city wonât mess with us Bluewater.â
âOh, thanks!â Lin Yi put the cap on. âIs it fine if I say Iâm Boss Yorkâs lackey if any one causes me trouble?â
âOf course, of course!â York was delighted at that âbossâ title Lin Yi was referring him to with. âUse that name as much as you want- I have my connections here in Bluetown.â
Lin Yi nodded and handed four hundred euros to York- he only had a couple thousand with him, and York wasnât too interested. He led Lin Yi to the car right after that.
The keys were in the cars, since they werenât afraid of anyone stealing from Bluewater property.
Lin Yi drove the car out of the factory- things were easier now that he had this cap.
He hadnât driven far when he spotted a pretty girl hitchhiking at the roadside- she waved to Lin Yi when he neared.
Naturally, Lin Yi had no interest in hooking up- thereâd been plenty of girls trying to hit on him in this northern districtâ¦
Heâd only paid attention to this particular girl because she was an Asian- it gave him a sense of familiarity, seeing someone from his race in this foreign land.
The cool girl had a pair of huge sunglasses on, dressed in hot black. She stood out, and Lin Yi felt that heâd seen her before, though the sunglasses did obstruct a big part of her face.
He wouldnât have stopped the car for just the Asian face- heâd stopped because the face seemed familiar.
âWhatâs up?â Lin Yiâs baseball cap and black sunglasses didnât make his face any more visible than the girlâs.
âCan I get a quick hitchhike, handsome?â The cool girl squeezed out a smile.
âHitchhike? I donât even know where Iâm going, how am I supposed to give you a hitchhike?â Lin Yi was sizing the girl up as he spoke- he felt like heâd seen her before.
He must've met too many people these couple years- it was normal for him to find a face familiar every now and then.
âThatâs perfect then, if you donât- drive me to Kanha Hotel please.â The cool girl said as she got on the co-driver seat.
âAhâ¦â¦â Lin Yi smiled. âI donât know where that is either.â
âHm?â The girl paused. âArenât you a Bluewater? How come you donât know where Kanha is?â
âI just joined, is that a problem?â Lin Yi shrugged.
âOh⦠Not at all. Iâll point you the way.â The girl sounded slightly disappointed, but her voice remained cold.
Lin Yi started the car and drove on, the corner of his eye still glancing at the cool girl. âYou a tourist?â
Lin Yi felt that that wasnât possible right after he asked the question- would a tourist be brave enough to stop a strangerâs car for a hitchhike, especially when she knew what the Waterblue was? Did she have a deathwish?
He started getting interested in who this cool girl was. Had he met her before? He might be able to recall if she took her sunglasses off.
âSelf sponsored tourist.â Lin Yi wasnât expecting than answer.
âA self sponsored tourist who knows about the Bluewater mafia?â Lin Yi asked. The girl was clearly lying.
âBecause Iâm interested in that kinda thing, okay- I look up to the strong.â The cool girl was trying to make her smile more flirty, but it looked more like a cold smile on that face of hers.
â......â Lin Yi was speechless- what sort of lying was this? âLook up to the strong, huh? So youâre saying youâve been waiting for a Bluewater memberâs car to hitchhike in their territory?â
âYeah, see how that worked out?â The cool girl smiled. âCome on, tell me about your Bluewater!â
âSorry, I told you I just joined- wrong guy to ask.â Lin Yi was getting more and more curious- what was this girl here to do? She couldnât even lie properly.
âThen you should know who the Bluewater boss is, right? Is it Charlandon? Iâve heard that itâs him!â The girl asked.
âI guess.â Lin Yi had looked up the Bluewater mafia online before- that seemed to be the right name.
âThen do you know who he is?â The girl continued her questioning. âIs he in that car repair factory? Or in the blue castle?â
âIn the factory, I guessâ¦â Lin Yi answered casually- it was something heâd heard from the taxi driver.
âI see. Then do you guys get to meet him, usually? Does he work inside an office?â The cool girl continued.
âThat, I donât know.â Lin Yi wasnât really a Bluewater member- how was he supposed to know so much?
âHow come you donât know anything!â The cool girl was a bit pissed. âThen can you bring me to meet him?â
âWhat do you wanna meet him for?â Lin Yi didnât know what this girlâs deal was, but he frowned after finishing that question, spotting a black SUV tailing him from afar.
He was busy talking with this girl, and didnât even know where the hotel was supposed to be, and yet⦠the SUV had been tailing him the whole time. It was an impossible coincidence.
Was it the Bluewater mafia? Lin Yi frowned as he recalled his actions- he hadnât done anything suspicious, and hadnât told anyone about his purpose here⦠He didnât even have that much cash on him, so why were the Bluewater following him?
What made it odder was the fact that the SUV had started tailing him after heâd exited the factory, since heâd make sure to check for any tailers after leavingâ¦
So they were following this girl? Lin Yi found that possibility to be the most feasible one. They mustâve started tailing him after the girl got in his car.
Just who was this girl??
