The last bullet shot by the assassin grazed past Lin Mu and coincidentally hit Bai Kaixin on the side of his thigh, just an inch away from his lifeblood.
"Oh my..."
Just moments ago, Deputy Captain Bai, who was acting all tough, now sat on the ground like a helpless child, trembling all over. Instinctively, he covered his treasure between his legs with both hands. However, upon closer inspection, Qi Manlin noticed a light yellow liquid seeping from between his hands. Damn, he actually peed himself out of fear!
Lin Mu and Su Xiaowan both hit the ground, but for different reasons. Lin Mu was hit by two bullets, while Su Xiaowan was unharmed and merely fainted from fright.
In the blink of an eye, everyone was so shocked they crouched down with their heads in their arms, including the police officers who stood frozen. Qi Manlin was the first to react. She glanced at Su Wan and confirmed that she was unharmed, just passed out from shock. She then instructed the officers, "Quick, get a doctor..."
"Yes."
An officer responded and quickly ran to get medical personnel.
Qi Manlin looked at Lin Mu's still somewhat handsome face and suddenly felt a pang of guilt. Although she knew this guy was lecherous, liked flirting, and had many typical bad habits like other men, the fact that he risked his life to save Su Xiaowan in this perilous moment was reason enough for her to forgive him for everything he had done before. Hmm, looking at him, that face is admittedly quite easy on the eyes, getting more attractive the longer she looked.
If he doesn't die this time, she'd even be willing to let him flirt again willingly! She even silently prayed in her heart, "God bless, deities bless, Lady Guanyin bless, let this lecher wake up. If he dies, she'd feel guilty for a lifetime."
But she knew in her heart that a person shot twice wouldn't last long even if they didn't die immediately.
Maybe Qi Manlin's prayers worked, as Lin Mu slowly opened his eyes and looked at her. Yes, looked straight at her chest. What a womanizer—on the brink of death and still thinking about that on a girl's chest!
"I... you, does it hurt?"
Qi Manlin's emotions were mixed as she looked at Lin Mu, who appeared to be on the brink of death, not knowing what to say. After a long pause, all she could muster was nonsense, "You mustn't die, the doctor will be here soon, you'll be fine..."
"Hmm..."
Lin Mu was indeed feeling very uncomfortable and couldn't speak, but what bothered him more was that the girl had completely covered that big snow-capped peak on her chest. From his lying position, he couldn't catch a glimpse of anything inside her clothes.
So, he thought on his feet and blinked his eyes, signaling the girl to get closer. For someone seemingly on the verge of death, Qi Manlin certainly couldn't refuse. She leaned closer to him, half-kneeling beside Lin Mu. Tears sparkled in her eyes, making her look all the more charming and indescribable.
"You're really beautiful, truly big..."
This rascal, facing death, didn't utter any grand heroic last words but left a lewd remark instead. If it weren't for the fact that he blocked bullets for her, Qi Manlin couldn't guarantee she wouldn't have kicked him!
However, the usually hot-tempered Qi Manlin actually tolerated it this time! How miraculous!
"What did you say? Say it again..."
Qi Manlin bent down, lifting Lin Mu's head with both hands. Hmm, this was exactly the effect Lin Mu wanted. With her bending down, her bosom hung, and two huge snowy peaks were entirely exposed, laying bare in front of his eyes. On top of those breathtaking waves, there were two startling red spots, like the setting sun on icy peaks, exceptionally alluring and enchanting.
A beauty in front, endless happiness; tsk tsk, Lin Mu was instantly invigorated, as if infused with energy! Even if it meant jumping out the window right now for three hundred rounds of wild battle, who'd he fear?
Seeing Lin Mu's licentious and satisfied expression, Qi Manlin suddenly realized Lin Mu was in excellent spirits. More importantly, though evidence of his being shot twice was present, there was not a trace of bleeding on him.
Little did she know, when she lifted Lin Mu's head just now, this guy had a minor reaction—not only did his nose bleed, but he also raised a flag below. Clearly, this scoundrel had some impure thoughts, and just not long ago, someone contemplated jumping out with the beauty to battle wildly, didn't they?
Stealing a shy glance at the blazing torch below Lin Mu, Qi Manlin immediately turned her face away. Dizzy, obviously he was hit by a bullet, yet blood was coming out of his nose. How impure must his thoughts be!
On the verge of death, yet his lustful heart remained undying. Qi Manlin let go, causing Lin Mu's head to hit the ground heavily.
"Argh..."
A scream—this is the price to pay for being a lecher!
Just before the violent incident happened, the train conductor had already received the message from the police and had to stop. As the chief of criminal investigation, Qi Manlin was the person in charge. Effective in her actions, she quickly restored order on-site, and the train resumed its journey safely toward Wancheng.
Su Xiaowan was merely frightened and temporarily fainted. Qi Manlin intentionally arranged for a doctor to provide medical care for her and had someone look after her carefully. Meanwhile, Lin Mu seemed like the Sun Monkey honing his skills in the Eight Trigrams Furnace, impervious to blades and poisons. Though slightly weak, a bit of rest would have him good as new.
