Chapter 422 - Hes Mute
Beauty and the Bodyguard
Ruomingâs hair stood up as he watched Lin Yi walk over, completely terrified. âWh-Whatâre you doing! Donât⦠Get awayâ¦â
A slap was sent across Ruomingâs face again, this time with more power behind it- it sent Ruomingâs teeth flying out, splitting his lips as well.
(I canât tell if this is literal or figurative⦠That time Cihua sent his men on Jianwen, too, the original text said Jianwen got all his teeth knocked out and couldnât speak anymore, but as I translated the next chapter I knew that it was obviously not that seriousâ¦)n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âYou⦠You killed Uncle Yan?â Ruoming was in complete disbelief- this was a golden class they were talking about, a god! How come he was dead after Lin Yi stepped on him a couple of times? How was that possible at all??
âNo, Iâm not like you, okay, I donât shout âkill him!â, âkill him!â if Iâm pissed. Iâm actually not that bold at all.â LIn Yi said and sent another slap across Ruomingâs cheek, turning his face into a pig-face.
âMisunderstanding, itâs a misunderstanding⦠Boss Lin Yi, Iâm actually here with Uncle Yan to cause you trouble because my dad asked me to, itâs not my fault, Iâm just a messenger⦠Donât do anything to meâ¦â Ruoming knew that he wouldnât be able to get away from Lin Yi- running meant digging his own grave! Without much of a choice left, he arched his body into a kneeling position. âBoss Lin Yi, it really isnât me!!â
âIâm not talking about that.â Lin Yi shook his head. âIâm talking about you going after Tang Yin!â
Lin Yi stepped on Ruomingâs face- he cried out tragically in response.
âI told you sheâs my woman, why do you keep going after her? You wanna die?â Lin Yi felt that he needed to give this Ruoming a lesson heâd remember for good- he wouldnât know about this scary thing called death otherwise.
âOw⦠Owwâ¦â¦â Ruoming cried out as he held his head in his hands. âBoss Lin Yi, I wonât do it anymore⦠It wonât happen again⦠I got caught up in my lust, it wonât happen again⦠Please let me goâ¦â
âLin Yi⦠donât hit him anymore⦠What if he diesâ¦â Tang Yin was shocked at Lin Yiâs insanity from earlier, but still managed to find it sweet that heâd go so far for her. It didnât matter what kind of danger she was in, as long as Lin Yi was here, heâd protect herâ¦
But, as much as Tang Yin hated Ruoming, killing him wasnât an option. She didnât want Lin Yi to go to prison because of something like this- she needed to stop him.
âHa, he wonât die. Itâll be far from that, at most heâll just become retarded. But thatâll be nice, he wouldnât have to spend so much money buying retard pills all the time, the bastard. Iâll just step on him until he becomes retarded.â Lin Yi smiled.
âNo⦠Donât⦠I donât wanna be a retard⦠Boss Lin Yi, please let me goâ¦â Ruoming was on the verge of tearing up- heâd rather die than become a retard!
âScram.â Lin Yi said faintly.
(In Chinese âscramâ translates into roll, as in roll away.)
âYes, Iâll scram, Iâll scram right nowâ¦â Ruoming didnât dare get up and run- who knew if Lin Yi would use that to dish out more punishment at him. To make that scenario as unlikely as possible, Ruoming literally started rolling on the ground to move himself awayâ¦
âHahaâ¦â Tang Yin couldnât help but laugh at what Ruoming looked like. She didnât want Lin Yi to use violence, but she had to admit that what was happening relieved and eased her.
If it werenât for Lin Yi, sheâd still be suffering from Ruomingâs teasing and messing with her every day- who knew how thatâd end?
Lin Yi took one look at Uncle Yan and pulled his phone out to give Lingshan a call.
Lingshan was about to get Tiandi and Ruoguang to the traffic police department on the other side- on the surface, the two hadnât committed any crimes or anything, theyâd just broken some traffic laws. Lingshan wasnât responsible for that area, and she couldnât really do anything anyway.
Sheâd just returned to her office when her phone rang- it was Lin Yi calling. Lingshan frowned, wondering if Lin Yi had messed up again. After all, she didnât think that heâd thought up a solution to cure Liu Bojia that quickly- he was calling for something else!
She massaged her temple and picked the phone up helplessly. âLin Yi. Whatâs wrong?â
âGot out of the police station and drove into an ambush. I subdued the guy, so come pick him up.â Lin Yi said.
âWha?! You got ambushed? Who is it?â Lingshan blinked.
âA guy Zou Tiandi sent, I guess.â Lin Yi said faintly. âHurry up, itâs just straight ahead if you start from the police station. Youâll see me if you go straight.â
With that, he hung the phone up, much to Lingshanâs frustration. Was that a command?? Was the guy actually giving her a command??? She was pissed off, but she was required to go- she got up and walked downstairs before driving to where Lin Yi was.
âIsnât that just an old man? Zou Tiandi sent him? You didnât hit him with your car, did you?â Lingshan suspected that Lin Yi drove right into someone and decided to pin it on Tiandi, even calling an innocent old man Tiandiâs lackey. âHeâs supposed to be the ambusher?â
âEarly phase golden class.â Lin Yi shrugged. âCould you get any more braindead?â
âEarly phase golden class?â Lingshan opened her mouth in shock. She took a closer look at the man, and her expression changed- this was a fugitive! This was a fugitive lying in front of her!
Lingshan was the captain of the criminal police, and would always look over the pictures of listed fugitives- as a result, she recognized this old man immediately from the countless images in her head.
Yan Qiyuan, a wanted murderer and robber on the run for more than two years, with no trails leading to him. She never expected to see him here!
âHe should be a fugitive, right?â Lin Yi made a guess judging from Lingshanâs reaction.
âHe is!â Lingshan nodded, a trace of joy in her eyes. Lin Yi actually stumbled on and managed to capture a fugitive! This Yan Qiyuan was an early phase golden class, that was true, but heâd been disabled by Lin Yi from the looks of it, not much different from Heibaoâs situation.
Lin Yi patted Qiyuan on his body twice to wake him up- his face was overflowing with sadness and pain. He was an early phase golden class! How could he have been disabled so easily? Why was there someone this powerful in the mortal world in the first place? From what he could see, Lin Yi must be only around twenty years old!
Lingshan took out her handcuffs and cuffed Qiyuan. She couldnât feel any danger from him, but the guy was still a golden class threat. She didnât want to let her guard down when dealing with someone like this.
âAlright, Iâm going then.â Lin Yi said, preparing to leave now that things had come to an end.
âWait, I need you to come to the station with meâ¦â Lingshan stopped Lin Yi.
âJust say you were the one who captured him- itâs not the first time anyway!â Lin Yi couldnât bother going back with Lin Yi- it was so much trouble.
âBut⦠the criminalâs testimonyâ¦â Lingshan was thinking that there might be trouble if she claimed to have captured the man when she didnât.
Lin Yi casually tapped Qiyuan on the neck a couple of times. âAlright, heâs mute now, canât talk anymore.â
