Chapter 55.1: Masochist Gangster's Bodyguard (1)

"Have your injuries healed?"

The man placed his arms on the back of his head as he leaned back against the soft cushion in a leisurely manner, smiling slightly.

"Yes."

Standing in front of the man, the woman, who was dressed in a fitting black knee-length dress, replied in a cold and expressionless tone. She was tall and lean with a slender waist and beautiful long legs. She did not look like an Asian woman at all, as her figure was too unbelievably good.

"Finally. Come, give me a massage." The man straightened his back slightly before closing his eyes relaxingly as usual. And sure enough, within seconds, he could feel cool fingertips pressing against his scalp with moderate strength and skill.

"Your massages are still the best." The man let out a comfortable sigh and the expressions on his face clearly showed that it was extremely enjoyable, "Ah Ren could never control his strength, and my head always hurt more after his massages."

The man chatted nonchalantly, while the woman behind him - Gu MingYue, remained silent the entire time as she continued her actions to massage the male protagonist of this world - Xiao JingLin, who was the eldest young master and also the heir to the underworld giant of the country.

The original host of her current body was a taciturn and cold person. As his father's No.1 favorite assassin, and ever since Xiao JingLin reached adulthood, she had been transferred to Xiao JingLin's side to protect and take care of him. Basically, she was a bodyguard/nanny to the male protagonist.

Her body's name was Zuo XiaoNan. She was originally an abandoned baby, she had been raised and trained in the Killer department ever since she could walk. After completing layers of torturous and bloody tests, she finally came out as a top-tier assassin who was capable of the most arduous task. But became she was so accustomed to bloodshed and death since childhood, she gradually became a cold-blooded and indifferent person, lacking the rich emotions of a normal human being.

To be precise, Zuo XiaoNan was not a pure-blooded Asian. She had the standard Asian melon-shaped face, under her long butterfly wings-like eyelashes were a pair of amber eyes. Her nose is high and small, her thin lips were the color of cherry blossoms and her skin was as white and smooth as porcelain. Her facial features were well-defined and three-dimensional.

She also has waist-length hair, which was light brown in color. Her hair was naturally soft and shiny, and was loosely draped over her shoulders, giving her a gentle and elegant look.

This new body of hers was extremely beautiful, almost like an elf from a fairy tale. The whole body was clean and undefiled, making it completely unimaginable that such an orchid-like perfection of a woman would be a professional killer with countless lives on her hands.

In fact, her deceptive appearance and temperament were what helped her complete so many S-ranked tasks, and had since placed her on the throne as the trump card for the underground organization for years. She was unparalleled in terms of physical fitness, endurance, fighting skills, firearms knowledge, and actual combat experience. It would not be an exaggeration to state that she was one of the best in the world, and she had consistently stayed within top-5 on the universal killer board for many years.

However, though her reputation was as such, the young woman who was graceful and beautiful on the outside, but fierce and terrifying on the inside was merely twenty-five years old, which was two years older than Xiao JingLin.

Coming back to the story progression, the original plot timeline had just begun. On the way back from attending his graduation ceremony, Xiao JingLin was ambushed by his father's enemies near the University. Zuo XiaoNan and his other bodyguard - Shang Ren, managed to defeat an entire group of skilled killers sent by the other party with much difficulty. However, at the most crucial moment, Zuo XiaoNan took a gunshot that could've been fatal for Xiao JingLin, and was seriously injured and fell into a coma after defeating the other party.

Today marked the third month after that incident, and she was finally discharged from the hospital and returned to work.

Many things happened in Zuo XiaoNan's three months of recuperation. For example, almost losing his son and heir, in a fit of anger and rage, Xiao JingLin's father used the power of the entire organization to destroy the culprit of this incident, which was also the organization that held the other half of the underground influence within Asia - namely the third generation AnYuan Nobuyuki Family, which was the mafia leader of the neighboring country Xumi.

As the only fish that slipped through their net, AnYuan LiMei, the youngest daughter of the AnYuan Nobuyuki Family, barely escaped alive as she was visiting a classmate's house during the incident, and had since been guarded closely by the senior management of the AnYuan Group.

However, how could she not repay such a bloody feud that had cost her entire family's lives? So, at her insistence, AnYuan Limei changed her name to Lin You and forged a perfect identity. As an exchange student of Xumi, she visited Han Kingdom and carefully planned a chance encounter with Xiao JingLin.

AnYuan LiMei had a petite physique that was unique to island women. She looked cute and shy, and spoke demurely in the softest and sweetest tone. But it was always these sorts of temperaments that never failed to arouse a man's desire to protect, and so, her character was extremely appealing to Xiao JingLin.

However, Gu MingYue thought that it was entirely expectable, because, as the female protagonist of the mission world, it was impossible for her to not naturally attract the male protagonist.

The two could be described as 'love at first sight', and their relationship developed rapidly in the following days to come. After merely a month, their relationship was officialized and so, the gruesome dog-blood story plot of love and murder began.
