Chapter 19 Ambush

  • Huojingran's face darkened as he coldly said, "Did I give you permission to resign?"
  • Luyanxi was taken aback by his words.
  • Did he ever mention anything about compensation? How did it turn into a resignation?
  • But Luyanxi truly felt the dominance of Huojingran.
  • She had a sudden impulse.
  • But she quickly suppressed it.
  • "Mr. Huo, do you intend to make me your personal bodyguard for the rest of my life?" Luyanxi asked.
  • "Mhmm," Huojingran nodded seriously.
  • Seeing Huojingran's serious expression, Luyanxi was dumbfounded.
  • Although she felt a slight attraction, considering that Huojingran was Ding Ningqiu's husband and currently suspected of being a member of a drug trafficking group, possibly even the boss, Luyanxi knew that a relationship between them was impossible.
  • "This is impossible," Luyanxi said. "I was only following my master's orders to protect you for a period of time."
  • To be honest, Luyanxi really didn't want to discover that Huojingran was truly involved with the drug trafficking group. After all, he was the biological father of Xiaoting and Xiaohan.
  • The thought of Xiaoting and Xiaohan never being able to recognize their own father in this lifetime made Luyanxi feel even more desolate.
  • "Who is your master? I can talk to him," Huojingran said.
  • From his sincere eyes, Luyanxi could tell that he wasn't lying, but she really couldn't.
  • "Why do you insist on making me your bodyguard, Mr. Huo?" Luyanxi asked.
  • "You saved me twice. Who else in this world is more qualified than you?" Huojingran replied.
  • Luyanxi fell into silence.
  • "There's no feast that doesn't end," Luyanxi said sadly as she looked at him. "You and I can't escape either."
  • "There's no one in this world that I, Huojingran, can't have, and there's nothing I can't do!" Huojingran said sternly.
  • Luyanxi looked at him, her vision gradually becoming blurry. She quickly tried to control herself and calmly said, "Nothing in this world is absolute."
  • After speaking, Luyanxi suddenly remembered that she had a bulletproof shield in her car. She quickly shouted to the bodyguards, "There's a bulletproof shield in the trunk of my car. Hurry and get it to protect Mr. Huo!"
  • The bodyguards quickly retrieved two bulletproof shields from the trunk of the Mercedes-Benz and cautiously approached.
  • "Mr. Huo, we need to leave quickly."
  • Just as the words fell, several smoke bombs were thrown from an unknown direction, leaving white trails in the air like the tail of a flying plane.
  • Upon landing, they released thick white smoke.
  • "Mr. Huo, cover your mouth and nose!" In the urgency of the moment, Luyanxi shouted.
  • Huojingran followed Luyanxi's instructions and quickly covered his mouth and nose with his hand.
  • Someone was attacking!
  • Luyanxi felt a sense of danger and pulled Huojingran to hide behind a rock. She pulled out her pistol from her waist and attached a silencer.
  • In the white smoke, the accompanying bodyguards were in chaos, running around trying to escape. The sound of their footsteps was overwhelming, making it difficult for Luyanxi to determine if there were any attackers approaching.
  • "Mr. Huo, you have quite a few enemies," Luyanxi sarcastically commented.
  • "So it seems that you'll have to protect me for the rest of your life," Huojingran said calmly.
  • His words sounded strange, and Luyanxi couldn't help but feel like Huojingran was teasing her, but she wasn't sure if it was just her imagination.
  • She didn't respond to Huojingran's words and remained vigilant, observing the situation with the convoy.
  • After a few minutes, the white smoke gradually dissipated due to the wind in the valley. The bodyguards who had come along were lying on the ground, it was unclear whether they were alive or dead.
  • Luyanxi tensed up, realizing that she was isolated and vulnerable. She and Huojingran were also on the edge of a cliff, in a very disadvantageous position.
  • Furthermore, the enemy was still hidden, and Luyanxi couldn't detect their presence, making it even more difficult to protect Huojingran.
  • The wind in the valley grew stronger, rustling the leaves and branches, blowing Luyanxi's long hair.
  • The ends of her hair lightly brushed against Huojingran's face, tickling him and emitting a fragrant scent.
  • This caused a sudden impulse in Huojingran, who had never experienced any emotional fluctuations for a long time.
  • Luyanxi, however, didn't notice that the man beside her was staring at her intently like a hungry wolf. Her entire focus was on observing the surroundings.
  • Her profile was beautiful.
  • Under the mask, she appeared even more cold and charming, exuding a captivating allure.
  • "Has anyone ever told you that you look good?" Huojingran suddenly spoke.
  • Luyanxi moved her gaze back to him, feeling speechless as she glared at Huojingran.
  • In such a life-or-death situation, he was still thinking about flirting. Truly a top-notch scumbag.
  • "Mr. Huo, don't you realize how dangerous our situation is right now? And you still have the time to make jokes," Luyanxi retorted unhappily.
  • Huojingran simply responded with a nonchalant "Mhmm."
  • Luyanxi was speechless once again. What did that "Mhmm" mean?
  • Just as she was feeling disdainful towards Huojingran, she heard a man's voice in her ear.
  • "Young Master Huo, stop hiding and come out."
  • Luyanxi secretly glanced over and saw that the convoy had been taken control of by a group of people.
  • The assailants wore black masks, only revealing their mouths, noses, and eyes. They held black crossbows and were aiming at the rock where Luyanxi and Huojingran were hiding.
  • "Who are you?" Luyanxi asked coldly.
  • "Oh? There's a woman too," the leader of the men laughed and said, "Can't you tell who we are just by looking at us? We're a group of assassins."
  • "What I want to know is who sent you!" Luyanxi tightened her grip on her pistol.
  • The man laughed again and replied, "Little sister, you're really cute. If we were to let you know who sent us, why would we wear masks?"
  • Pausing for a moment, the man shouted loudly, "Young Master Huo, come out. Someone wants you dead."
  • After his words, the man raised his hand, and more than a dozen assailants slowly approached the rock.
  • Luyanxi decisively fired her gun, taking down seven or eight assailants. However, her pistol ran out of bullets, and she suddenly jumped out from behind the rock, delivering a flying kick to knock down one of the assailants.
  • "Don't shoot, capture her alive!"
  • Fearless, Luyanxi moved agilely between the remaining assailants, like a shadow leaping and jumping.
  • After a few rounds, the remaining assailants were all defeated, lying on the ground. Luyanxi was about to check Huojingran's position when she noticed that the leader of the assailants swiftly charged towards Huojingran, attempting to kick him off the cliff.
  • "Mr. Huo, get out of the way!" Luyanxi shouted, using all her strength to rush over and push Huojingran away, taking the blow from the assailant's flying kick.
  • The tremendous force sent her body flying into the air, and she fell into the abyss of the towering cliff.
