Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1314 – Golden Cicada Removing Shell

 “Captain Song, it’s me, you finally came. Hurry and save me, I don’t want to fight anymore… They keep forcing me…” The man in the green mask waved his arms on the stage, crying out. “Help me, Captain Song…”

 This sudden scene made Lingshan pause- how come the fighter knew her?

 The man in a white mask beside the green mask called out as well. “Ah? Did the police come? Finally, please save me too, I don’t want to fight. I don’t want the money anymore. I want my life! I regret it!”

 “You guys manage the audience. Contact team two and search the arena, I’ll deal with these two fighters!” Lingshan felt hat the voice coming from the green mask was very familiar.

 “Yes, Captain Song!” Wangli nodded. According to the analysis, everyone agreed on the same thing- the arena operated with illegal means, alluring and kidnapping people to be fighters- these two were probably victims, and there was no danger, so Lingshan was probably safe.

 Lingshan walked up and looked at the two fighters. “Who are you? Why are you fighting here?”

 “Captain Song, it’s me!” The green masked man took out the mask- it was An Jianwen! His face was crying and tearing up. “I’m An Jianwen!”

 “An Jianwen? You again? Why are you here?” Lingshan knew this guy- he was one of the victims of the kidney thieves’ group, but how come he got caught and sent to fistfight all of a sudden? Wasn’t that too tragic?

 “I went to the hospital to check my kidney, and someone told me that he knew a miracle doctor that could fix me, making me a man again, and so I came…” Jainwen said with a bitter face. “I only realized I got cheated when I got here- they gave me an excitement injection and adrenaline shot, pushing me up here and made me fight, saying I’d die if I didn’t listen… My god, I almost had a heart attack!”

 “…” Lingshan looked at Jianwen with sympathy- this guy sure was unlucky, getting caught like that right after the kidney problem. Although, the stuff he said about kidneys and being a man-made her a bit speechless.

 “Alright, it’s fine now, you go back to the station and make a log.” Lingshan didn’t doubt Jianwen’s words- he was a fighter on the stage after all, and she knew that a big young master like him wouldn’t go fight in an arena no matter the price. It would be a joke.

 “I got lied to, officer! Some guy said to me that he’d give me two hundred grand for a performance. I didn’t know it was fighting! I don’t want to fight. My old life is on the line here…” It was a white-masked man- the professor!

 He and Jianwen had replaced the fighters on the stage, and the audience didn’t notice that they had switched themselves in because the police burst through right after entering- they weren’t even thinking about that right now, they needed to protect themselves from the police!

 Plus, the people on the stage were masked- it was very hard to notice.

 Using that to their advantage, they both got excitement and adrenaline injections, and performed this move called ‘golden cicada removing its shell.’

 “Alright, you come to the station later too!” Lingshan nodded.

 Both men breathed in relief after hearing the words- one couldn’t blame Lingshan. After all, since other than the dead Fighter Li, it was only Scorpion who knew their identities. And Scorpion wouldn’t say anything about them.

 There was no resistance from Scorpion’s part when he got brought out by the police- his face was calm. He knew that this day would come sooner or later.

 The glorious arena was done in just one night- in the interrogation room, he admitted to everything without resistance, telling them of his crimes. When asked about the funding for the arena, he brought out the name of an international crime organization, one of the enemies of the Firewolves. He didn’t mind causing them some trouble!

 Of course, regarding the details, the Firewolves had already prepared that. Nothing would seem out of place- an organization as big as the Firewolves could easily forge evidence.

 And so, even if Lingshan were to seriously go and investigate deep, it still wouldn’t involve Jianwen, the professor, or even the Firewolves!

 The end of the arena didn’t really affect most people, except those who betted got varying degrees of punishment.

 Life continued, and Xiaoxiao became more lethargic and sicker. She couldn’t wake up, and she didn’t want to go to school, staying at home and refusing to go out, putting the heater on in her room as she cuddled in deep blankets, sneezing and sneezing…

 Lin Yi, the Miss, Shu, and Tang Yun were all worried, but there was nothing they could do about it!

 Xiaoxiao’s yang energy in her body was getting more and more tyrannical, taking over her entire body, making her cold in a day as hot as this.

 She understood that her time was almost up. Lin Yi, the Miss, Shu, and Tang Yun didn’t go to school either, spending their time with Xiaoxiao as her final days passed by…

 They’d finished the curriculum anyway. It was only revisions in class now. With the self-learning ability of the three girls, not going to school wouldn’t really be a problem. They were good in different topics, topo, so they could help each other.

 “Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?” Tang Yun asked curiously as she looked at Xiaoxiao mess with yarn.

 “I want to knit a sweater for Lin Yi,” Xiaoxiao said. “I want to leave something for him, but it seems I can’t finish it, I’d be dead before I finish this memento… So I’ll just make a scarf, but even the scarf can’t be finished…”

 “Oh, that’s easy- don’t worry, I’ll do it with you,” Yushu said.
