Beauty and the Bodyguard

Chapter 1232 – Let Me Go

 “Uncle Feng, what’s the situation like? Have you confirmed Xiaoxiao’s location yet?” Lin Yi saw Feng Tianlong and he wasn’t in the mood to chat with him as he went straight to the topic.

 “Yes, the death warrior from Red Conches who kidnapped her is in building A-16, level eighteen with Xiaoxiao right now, but we aren’t sure which unit they are in,” Feng Tianlong said, “But the death warrior planted bombs inside and is linked to his body, where his heart beat controls it. As soon as his heart stops beating, the bombs will go off! Right now, we have no other way to deal with it other than accepting his condition!”

 “He can’t die huh… But what if we catch him?” Lin Yi frowned.

 “It won’t work. He hid poison in his mouth and if he swallows the poison, the bomb will still go off,” Feng Tianlong laughed bitterly, “Death warriors aren’t afraid of death. So we can’t assassinate them or even catch him alive! We haven’t made up a detailed plan and we must wait for the superiors to conduct a meeting and make a decision whether to let the second head in charge go or not…”

 “Is that so…” LIn Yi nodded, “Uncle Feng, let me go up!”

 “You? Going up?” Feng Tianlong was shocked, “Lil’ Yi, going up right now is basically killing yourself! You can’t do anything to him but if you agitate him and make him suicide with poison, you and Xiaoxiao will both die…”

 “He won’t suicide so easily,” Lin Yi shrugged and smiled, “He will only suicide when there is no hope left. If there’s any hope of him saving his second head in charge, his goal will be trying to save him!”

 “Oh?” Feng Tianlong was surprised.

 “Uncle Feng, there are only two types of death warriors out there. They are either being forced or they are willing to die. If they were forced to be one, they wouldn’t be sent to these kind of missions because it’s too important. If something went wrong and the death warrior betrayed the organisation, they would lose without gaining anything!” Lin Yi analysed, “This death warrior probably came willingly! If he is willing to sacrifice himself for the Red Conches, he must’ve been brainwashed and he is extremely loyal to them. If so, saving the second head in charge would be his main goal and to someone who’s loyal to Red Conches, it would be glorifying! So, he wouldn’t choose to suicide before the mission ends without a choice, so we still have a chance.”

 “Oh? That sounds reasonable!” Feng Tianlong heard Lin Yi’s analysis and nodded. A hysterical man like this would value his leader’s life very much because saving him was his ultimate goal in life, and it didn’t matter if he died or not. Whether he died or not, his life will never be as important as his second head in charge.

 That was why he was willing to exchange his second head in charge’s life with his. Lin Yi grasped his thinking and hence dared to have a try.

 “Haha, I’ve dealt with these kinds of people too. Although they don’t care whether they die or not, but dying after success and dying after the mission failed are two completely things!” Lin Yi shrugged, “So I can go up and see if there’s a chance.”

 “Even if what you analysed is correct, it’s too dangerous for you go!” Feng Tianlong hesitated and said, “Even if you can talk to him in peace, you won’t be able to do anything else other than buy us more time! They are on the eighteenth floor, even if you want to run away with Xiaoxiao, you need time even if you are jumping down from there. The time needed to do that is enough for him to bomb you and Xiaoxiao into pieces!”

 “Believe me Uncle Feng, I wouldn’t do something stupid like that,” Lin Yi laughed confidently, “Alright, it’s decided then, I’ll go!”

 “Wait… I can’t make the decision, I need to report it to my superiors!” Feng Tianlong didn’t want Lin Yi to die. If Chief Xia agreed to let go of the second head in charge of Red Conches, then it’s possible for Feng Xiaoxiao to come back safely, but that’s only a possibility! Who knew if the death warrior would stay faithful to his promise or not? What if he took back his promise and bombs the building after the second head in charge went back safely?

  The possibility wasn’t low, but rather high. Because he was a death warrior, they couldn’t treat him like an ordinary person.

 “No need. If Chief Xia asks, just say that I made the decision myself and went up,” Lin Yi replied indifferently.

 “But…” Feng Tianlong wanted to stop him but when he saw the worry in Lin Yi’s eyes, he eventually stopped speaking. Lin Yi treated his daughter sincerely and he was touched and happy at the same time.

 Feng Tianlong knew that Lin Yi was a man who excelled in both intelligence and courage and he never acted in the heat of the moment without thinking. When Lin Yi suggested for himself to go, it meant that he was somewhat certain, at least he won’t do something stupid.

 So since Lin Yi made the offer, Feng Tianlong naturally wouldn’t stop him. Lin Yi’s relationship with his organisation is subtle and even if Chief Xia knew Lin Yi went up, there’s no way for them to do anything.

 Only Song Lingshan frowned as she reluctantly watched Lin Yi walk away. Lin Yi was going to do something so dangerous? Didn’t he know that the man is a death warrior? Didn’t he know that there were bombs in the building?

 Was Feng Xiaoxiao so important to him that he would sacrifice his life for her? If she was up there instead, would Lin Yi save her too?

 Hmm? But last time Lin Yi also ran into a dangerous place and saved her from the jail of the kidney trafficking company! That meant that she had a place in Lin Yi’s heart! As Song Lingshan thought of that instance, she suddenly became happy again.

 Lin Yi at this time, had no idea that Song Lingshan had been thinking about these things and if he had known, he wouldn’t know whether he should cry or laugh.

 Lin Yi wasn’t sure that he could save Feng Xiaoxiao and he could only go with the flow. Lin Yi knew that the investigation office wasn’t an iron board. Chief Xia wasn’t something rigid either. There were some things that he couldn’t do even if he wanted to!

 As to whether they could let go of the Red Conches’s second head in charge or not, Lin Yi didn’t have his hopes up and he could only rely on himself to think of something.
