Beauty and the Bodyguard

Reporting For Duty

Lingshan transformed from a gentle and adorable girl to a serious-looking lady when she got out from her room, “Shut off your phones and get ready for a meeting, we’ve got a lot to discuss tonight….”

“Yes! Captain Song!” the squad captains replied. They were so fed up with the kidney removal case. There hadn’t been a case as big as this in Songsan for a long time. The city captains had all given orders, demanding them to solve this troublesome in haste. Only then, could they reduce the impact of the crime organization to the citizens.

Otherwise, most of the citizen would be caught up in a frenzy. Kids would be too afraid to attend school themselves. Furthermore, the “Kidney removing organization” had become a very terrifying and intimidating name. Whenever a child heard the name, their blood would run cold. The kids that were crying would stop instantly when their parents frightened them with the name.

The negative impact towards society had reached a new peak. That was the reason the police officers were all working overtime. They wanted to get new clues from the case analysis. But, things didn’t work in their way- they were far beyond reaching any conclusions. After all, this wasn’t an individual crime. This case involved a whole organization, a crime organization no less!

It was a tough job to look for clues and evidence from this case because they were all well-organized criminals. They would only commit crimes when they were looking for kidneys. In other words, they were just ordinary people when they weren’t dealing with kidneys.

They had their own surgeon and place to remove the kidneys, and while trafficking and selling the kidney only involved another party, there were no witnesses or third parties. Tracking the evidence was impossible.

“Captain Song, do you have good news?” Liu Wang Li and Lingshan were the closest among the squad captains, so when he saw the seriousness on her face, he knew something was up. Could captain Song have found some critical information for the case?

“En, I’ve received some reliable information,” Lingsan said. She felt very good inside. The captains were all gazing at her with respectful eyes. She found that what she had to say to Lin Yi was totally worth it!

“Is there information?” The other captains were assuming the same thing but they were unsure since the case was extremely complicated. While they respected Lingsan very greatly, they still couldn’t believe that she got information just by stationing in her office for a while. It was impossible!

After all, she was still totally clueless in the afternoon. The leaders were all giving her a good scolding. If it wasn’t Huaijun, her entire team would probably be called for a lecture.

“I’ve gotten a tip-off and know the next target’s location.” Lingshan would never reveal the location before they took action. Although her comrades were all raised by Huaijun and could be trusted, she still wouldn’t take the risk giving them the information. They would lose their golden opportunity if the information was leaked out, “Shall we discuss our strategy! If we arrest them like last time, we would be repeating our mistake. Catching the small fry won’t help us in solving this case at all!”

Everyone in the meeting nodded and started their brainstorming session.

After ending the call, Lin Yi heard the footsteps closing in, towards the washroom direction. Lin Yi was perplexed- just who could this be? He thought that it was a waiter, but much to his surprise, it was Yutian.

Lin Yi smiled wryly. He knew that Yutian must have looked for him. How else would he come to the public washroom?

“Special forces 019 reporting for duty, sir!” Yutian stood to attention and gave a military salute to Lin Yi respectfully.

“Ha….” Lin Yi smiled faintly and shrugged his shoulder, “I’m just a follower, not your sir.”

Lin Yi didn’t respond to the salute, meaning he had abandoned his previous pose. Yutian’s salute was wasted! Yutian’s face changed a little but there was still respect towards gleaming in his eyes, “Sir, I heard that you went for a special mission, how come….”

“I’ve returned from that mission long ago.” Lin Yi’s tone was still pretty steady, “I’ve just told you, I’m no longer your sir. I’m just a mere follower of Chu Mengyao and of course your sister’s follower. They call me shield bro, but since I’m younger than you, you can call me shield lil bro or Lin Yi.”

“I see….. So Lin Yi is your name, sir!” This was Yutian’s first time hearing his instructor’s real name. They had been using nicknames in the camp, and while Lin Yi’s nickname was “Eagle”, everyone in the camp called him “Sir” or “Instructor Eagle”.

“Alright, I’ve to get back now.” Lin Yi didn’t want to think back his past. He waved his hand and left the washroom.

“Sir, how did you become my sister’s follower?” Yutian was puzzled. He couldn’t understand this logic at all. However, if Lin Yi didn’t want to mention it, then he didn’t have a choice. He had wanted to meet back Lin Yi since then, asking for advice and teachings, but now that Lin Yi was rejecting his status, Yutian couldn’t voice his request, could he?

Lin Yi went back to the room to see Jianwen drinking as nothing happened.

Meanwhile, Jianwen didn’t say anything when Lin Yi came in because he had never expected Lin Yi to be tipping off his action to Lingshan.

“Guys, why not we play some games? Plain drinking is kind of boring, don’t you think so?” Taizao said loudly, “Guys?”

Taizao was slightly drunk. He wasn’t holding back in drinking at all. His speech was a mess. However, he could only fool Mengyao if he was drunk. Mengyao was quick-witted. She would know if he was actually drunk or just acting.

“What do you want to play? Tell me.” Jianwen eyed Mengyao and Yushu then he asked, “Do you guys have any suggestions?”

“Play, let’s play, I like playing the most!” Yushu clapped her hand in excitement. She was about to pull Mengyao home if they continued that pace.

Mengyao remained silent, not denying it. In fact, she actually didn’t want to play with Jianwen or Taizao, but since Shu and Lin Yi were beside her and while, Shu was looking forward to playing. So, there was no harm for her to join them, either.

“Hmm, let’s see…. Why not we play truth or dare?” While Taizao was suggesting the game, Yutian came in. “Yutian bro, wanna join us? We used to play this a lot last time, ha. Do you still remember that time when you picked dare, and we asked you to kiss Song Lingshan? In the end, she beat you up… Hahahaha!”

Taizao was really drunk. He wouldn’t blurt such embarrassing stories of Yutian in front of them. But, he couldn’t control his speech when he was drunk. That was the kind of person he was.
