Chapter 257 – The Oracle
One phone call later, Wan Er held onto my arm as tears still flowed from her puffy red eyes, “Does it hurt?”
I shook my head, “It doesn’t.”
“Really?”
“Don’t shake it like that, I’m dying from pain actually…”
“…”
……
Looking at my wound, it felt like the bullet had pierced through my muscle tissue but it fortunately didn’t nick an artery or any part of the bones, otherwise a trip to the hospital would definitely be needed. With this type of situation, all I needed to do was to disinfect and wrap up the wound. I already surpassed the Refined Body stage so the recovery of my muscle tissue was far faster than the ordinary person. This wound would take at most a week to heal completely from and leave behind only the smallest of scars.
“Don’t worry…”
Looking at Wan Er who was crying so much that I thought it was raining, I couldn’t help but feel a small sense of sorrow. With a great amount of effort, I lifted my injured hand and patted her shoulder, “Wan Er, I’m really fine, the bullet only hit the skin….did you know, in the days when I was deployed to Ethiopia, my hand was almost shot off but luckily I had a belt handy, and learned from the experience…”
Wan Er sniffed loudly as she stared at me hazily, “You’re still teasing me, stupid!”
I carefully leaned against the corner and laughed, “It’s really nothing to worry about. Come on, laugh for me, if you’re crying over something like this now, what will you be like when I suffer from an even worse injury in the future?”
Wan Er wiped at her tears, her red lips still faced me as her beautiful eyes still contained a complex expression. After what felt like an eternity, she said, “I don’t know…do you? In the past, my father hired a bodyguard for me, but he was shot through the heart, But I…I didn’t grieve over him like I did here….”
I laughed, “Perhaps…perhaps it’s because I brought you to a few SS ranked maps? You’re worried that if I die, you’ll never have someone take you to places like Five Barbarian Desolate Tombs or Dragon Temple…”
“Wuu, you’re still speaking…”
Wan Er’s ripped open my suit and pressed against my wound with her hands in an effort to block the blood from flowing out. Her face was already white from terror at the sight. She grabbed at the western styled blouse she had on and gave it a tug, ripping a large piece of fabric away with such force that one of the buttons had popped out. A long strip of fabric floated from her body with the sweet fragrant of her perfume still sticking to it. Wrapping it around my shoulder like a professional, it seems like Lin Tian Nan did not fail to teach his treasured daughter a few emergency skills.
I laughed uncontrollably, “Why didn’t you tear off your skirt instead? I…I would have liked to see it…”
Wan Er’s beautiful face went red instantly, she glared at me and said, “That’s enough from you…”
Laughing merrily, I realized how charming this beautiful woman was, so charming that I was willing to take a bullet for her. Or catch a grenade for her.
……
At that moment, a sharp female cry could be heard from outside. I suddenly moved my body, and asked in a low voice, “Fei Er?”
Fei Er’s beautiful face looked over from the doorway, “Li Xiao Yao…you guys are…why are there dead people here?”
I glanced over; the special agent I had broken the legs of had fainted. His whole body was covered in blood; most likely Fei Er had thought he had already died. In a low voice, I said, “Fei Er, don’t disclose this. In 10 minutes max, people will arrive and sort this situation out. Come here…..”
“Ah?”
Fei Er looked as if she had been frightened out of her wits as she walked closer and saw my arm. “You…you were shot? Who are these people, they’re foreigners, what would they be doing inside ZGTV?”
I laughed slightly, “There isn’t really a why, they just wanted to come. Fei Er, don’t ask any more questions; this situation has no relation to you. You are better off knowing as little as possible…”
“Okay…” Fei Er glanced at the black guy who had been pinned to the wall by the knife in his neck and almost fainted afterwards. Pointing at the body, she said, “Over…over there, there’s a dead person, did…did you kill him?”
I nodded, “I didn’t kill him, I was defending myself.”
“Ah…ok…”
……
Not long after, the corridors outside exploded into noise as I heard Lin Tian Nan’s voice call out, “Seal off the scene immediately and come with me quickly, what if Wan Er has been injured, hurry up…”
The Qi in the air bubbled as the shadows of two young men appeared quickly. They must be middle ranking experts of the Royal Air level. They were definitely the personal bodyguards of Lin Tian Nan.
“Miss!” A bodyguard came flying by Wan Er’s side in an instant before giving me a glance. He didn’t look surprised at all from my wounds or maybe he was apathetic to me. The only person he cared about was Wan Er’s safety. If her personal bodyguard had died, it would mean nothing to him besides the fact he would have to
