Chapter 67.2: Masochist Gangster's Bodyguard (12)

What exactly did he miss when he was dating this woman? In fact, he could not see through the woman in front of him, as if he had never truly understood her. For a moment, everything in the past relationship felt as if it might have been deliberately done by the woman to confuse him...

After Gu MingYue, AnYuan LiMei was now the second woman who had caused him to stumble on his judgement of people, and it was causing him to doubt his own judgement.

Honestly speaking, AnYuan LiMei did not need to mention Gu MingYue at all, however, she was unwilling to lose to a woman whom she had never met at all, and so, she could not control her mouth and had spoken the name that had made her feel such discomfort. However, she instantly knew that she had taken yet another stupid step, and this time, it would ruin her original plan once and for all.

The original plan should've taken place like this. Both Xiao JingLin and her would be attacked by an unknown group of people in the near future, and she would be seriously injured from protecting him. Losing her help, the man would be outnumbered and eventually die of serious injuries. In her plan, the man would never know the truth that everything that happened, all the fateful meetings and the building relationship, between them, was all but a plot for her quest for revenge. All of the memories in his life, including his last second, should be her undying affection and love as she protected the man until the end. Plus, even if he escaped death, the thought of her being a suspect would never occur to him at all.

If only he had not attended this appointment today with the intention of breaking up, then she would not have lost the bet with the top management of the organization... But now, she would have to uphold her side of the bet and carry out her revenge.

There was an indescribable feeling in AnYuan LiMei's heart. Their relationship should not have stagnated here, but somehow, it was affected by something to have come to this current situation.

She had her suspicions, and there was no doubt the powerful influencing factor is Gu MingYue.

According to the information she had obtained, Xiao JingLin's full attention should have now been transferred to that woman, and since the matter had already come to this point, she had nothing else to hide. And so, the woman finally turned around to face the man with a melancholy smile, "AnYuan LiMei, my real name is AnYuan LiMei."

Xiao JingLin was instantly on guard as soon as he heard the woman's words and it hit him. She was never just an ordinary transfer student named Lin You, but her true identity was the surviving daughter of the AnYuan Group, which was the biggest enemy of the QingFeng Group!

"I loved you, a lot. But there must be an end to those unsorted grievances between us." AnYuan LiMei's forced smile was a sore sight to the eyes, while a string of crystal tears stream down her face, "If only you were still in love with me, then this situation would never happen and I would not have to suffer so much right now."

Why did you stop loving me? We were a match made in heaven, the son and daughter of opposing factions... We could've worked together to find a solution to all the hate and revenge together......

AnYuan LiMei wiped the streaming tears from her cheeks and raised her left hand, which was holding a phone, with moist eyes and a reddened nose as she pressed down on the dial key to call the string of numbers that were already on display. And almost at the same moment, Xiao JingLin put his hands into his jacket instinctively, and his movements were so fast that it was hard to see clearly.

"Hm?"

There were no deafening explosions, as she had expected, nor loud and intensive gunshots. Birds and insects were still singing around the reservoir, while the clouds were calm and the wind was light.

What's going on? Confusion spread through her entire face as she glanced around. Her men were supposed to be hidden nearby as they wait for her signal, but now, it seemed as if there were no actions taken even after she dialled the number.

A bead of sweat ran across AnYuan LiMei's forehead.

"Fortunately for me, it seems like there was a flaw in your plan." Although he did not know what truly happened to AnYuan LiMei's men, this situation was beneficial to him and he smiled with relief. But just as he was about to reveal the pistol stored within the pocket of his coat, he felt the familiar chill of the cold metal object pressed against his waist.

"Unfortunately for you, I am also prepared for the worst." AnYuan LiMei nodded in the direction behind Xiao JingLin.

"Young Master, I advise you not to act rashly." Shang Ren said lightly under Xiao JingLin's fiery eyes.

Shang Ren had betrayed him! When was he approached by the AnYuan Group, and why would he betray the organization that had raised him since he was a child?!

"Though I do not know what happened to my men, it seems like the result today would not change." AnYuan LiMei said in a despondent but confident tone as she signalled Shang Ren to push Xiao JingLin to the edge of the reservoir.

"Oh? I don't think so."

A soft and provocative voice pierced into the ears of the three, causing Xiao JingLin's figure to freeze while also causing Shang Ren's facial expression to change instantly, which he quickly adjusted.

"It is you who should not act rashly, Ah Ren." Holding a gun in both hands, the woman in an off-white one-piece bodysuit and a light blue motorcycle suit points both guns at Shang Ren and AnYuan LiMei respectively while walking slowly towards them, stopping only when she was just a few steps away.

"You're just one person, what can you change?" AnYuan LiMei had heard much about this woman's amazing beauty, but this was the first time they had met in person. I suppose I'm not entirely a failure for losing to such a woman...

"One person?" Gu MingYue let out a rare whistle at the heroine's words, and under Xiao JingLin's livid face, she smiled reassuringly at him, "Your men have already been subdued by ours, you should just submit obediently."

H...How is that possible?! Both AnYuan LiMei and Shang Ren's eyes were wide in shock, as if they could not believe this was happening. When the men did not act upon receiving the signal, they assumed that an unexpected situation had arisen. Never would they have guessed that the entire team was wiped out entirely.

"Young Master, how can I allow anyone to take you away from me so easily?"

And so, Xiao JingLin succumbed to Gu MingYue's arrogant and dominating presence once again.

She's so cool!!!

Not gonna lie but all that internal thoughts from AnYuan LiMei was such a turnoff for me! What was she thinking, feeling touched at her own sacrifices and all... Ugh.

Been extremely busy from Christmas leading to Chinese New Year 🫠 Things are finally settling down BUT I won't be around next week because of Valentine's Day and my birthday! Hopefully I can get some chapters out through the weekends omfgggggggg.
