Chapter 607: Rescue

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

The wind ceased, and the trees stood still.

Mei Shu’s invisibility time had elapsed, revealing her lying in a pool of blood.

The man let go of the walkie-talkie, walking silently towards her with a face full of unwillingness. “I was so close to killing you.”

Mei Shu smiled wryly, fingers touching the cold corpse beside her. A chill suddenly rose in her eyes.

The man ignored the emotions in her eyes and bent down to carry her in his arms. He strode towards the shore with a cold expression.

Mei Shu grabbed his collar, mustering all her strength to growl, “Take her too.”

The man remained silent, signaling to the person behind him.

That person immediately picked up Feng Wei’s lifeless body.

On the shore.

This place seemed like a world apart from the forest.

The tree shadows swayed, towering trees offering no shade to those by the shore.

The man carried Mei Shu, seemingly just lifted from the blood, and stepped out of the shadows.

Lu Si completely lost control of his emotions. He rushed over, carefully cradling the fragile Mei Shu in his arms. Tears of self-blame streamed down his face. “I’m sorry, Shu’er. I came too late, much too late.”

In her dazed moments, Mei Shu occasionally saw Lu Si’s tear-streaked face. Wanting to lift her hand to wipe his tears, her arm, however, was numb beyond sensation.

“Don’t cry,” she murmured, lips trembling. Blinking away the tears that fell on her face.

Lu Si quickly carried her back onto the ship, allowing the accompanying doctor to tend to her wounds.

As they peeled off the clothes stuck to the wound, Mei Shu couldn’t help but bend over in pain. The towel she bit on was soaked in saliva.

“Be gentle!” Lu Si, feeling distressed, pushed aside the doctor and attended to her wounds himself.

Blood and dirt were cleaned off after numerous basins of water, barely managing to clear the clotting blood and dirt from the wound.

Mei Shu, in pain and nearly fainting several times, clenched Lu Si’s hand, saying word by word, “Kill that man. I want him dead!”

“Okay, 1’11 do as you say.” Lu Si soothed her, urging her to sleep first. When she was completely asleep, the warmth on his face disappeared.

Jiang Hai was waiting outside. Seeing him coming out, he quickly asked with concern, “How is Miss Mei?”

Lu Si’s expression darkened again.

He walked out of the cabin, descending the stairs.

By the shore, the man assumed a surrendering posture, standing coldly on the side.

He was just doing a job for money, not willing to be involved in the grievances between employers and adversaries.

However, not being able to kill that powerful woman had indeed become his greatest regret.

He even thought that if what he brought back was already a lifeless body, he could now confront these people as the victorious one!

“Master Si.” The bodyguard responsible for guarding Su Ling’s group quickly made way when he saw him coming.

Lu Si walked over, snatched the electric baton from his hand, and directly knocked it on the man’s head.

The man didn’t even regard Lu Si, easily dodging, just about to taunt when suddenly everything went black, and the next moment, the baton had already smashed into his face. “Ah!” He screamed, covering his face in pain for quite a while before angrily swinging his fist again.

Lu Si sneered, a foot kicking into his stomach, followed by an elbow strike. The man was directly hit, spitting out blood.

“Not convinced?” Lu Si grabbed his hair, facing his profile, landing another punch.

The man was completely bewildered by this sudden turn.

He was professionally trained and rarely encountered evenly matched opponents in the army. After becoming a top-notch mercenary, he was considered the pinnacle of the industry.

But now, he couldn’t even kill a woman, nor defeat a weak-looking dandy!

Strong desire for victory made him forget his own predicament.

Wiping off his nosebleed, he assumed an attacking posture, striking at his opponent’s face.

Lu Si chuckled disdainfully, a foot kicking into his stomach. Then, another elbow strike followed. The man spat out blood again.

“Don’t accept it?” Lu Si seized his hair, landing another punch on his cheek.

The man coughed, then vomited two teeth mixed with blood. He glared at Lu Si, “Who are you?”

“You’re not worthy of knowing!” Lu Si released his hair, taking a tissue to wipe away the sweat on his hands, his voice icy and murderous. “Drag him into the woods and get rid of him. Don’t leave any traces.”

“Yes.” Jiang He quickly picked up the electric baton, stunned the man, and then, with his subordinates, dragged him into the nearby woods.

“A Si, I’m your aunt!” Su Ling, realizing the severity of the situation, tried to beg for mercy. Seeing Lu Si turning towards her, she quickly added this sentence, hoping he would spare her.

However, since Lu Si had decided to be ruthless, there was absolutely no consideration of mercy.

He grabbed Su Ling’s neck, his eyes turning red, like a ferocious beast emitting an almost manic atmosphere. “Why did you want to kill Mei Shu?”

“A Si, let go.” Su Ling was forced to lift her head, attempting to pry open his fingers, her face rapidly reddening due to the decreasing air in her lungs..
