Ying frowned as he stood in the ring of encirclement, showing no hint of panic. His gaze fixed solely on Ye Lu, as if she was his entire world, and no one else mattered to him.

Witnessing the scene before her, Ye Lu felt a slight shock, yet she wasn’t surprised by Ling Kong’s sudden aggressive actions. 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖

The bodyguards around her were Ling Kong’s men, who likely had already informed Ling Kong of what transpired. Given Ling Kong’s personality, he was probably highly suspicious of Ying.

In fact, not only Ling Kong, she too harbored doubts in her heart.

After all, Ying’s abilities were beyond imagination; she had thought he was merely a strong, potentially capable individual.

But after seeing him take down several of Yiren’s highly skilled bodyguards, effortlessly causing them internal injuries and making them vomit blood repeatedly,

his brutal methods, extraordinary speed and skills, impressive reactionpeed, and his familiarity with counterattack strategies, all demonstrated as he calmly sought opportunities for ambush amidst a multitude of attackers, even under gunfire, without any panic or unfamiliarity, effortlessly capturing Yiren.

She felt that even Ling Kong might not be able to act with such precision, quick judgment, decisiveness, and perform almost perfectly without hesitation.

She believed that his alertness, reaction time, and combat skills were definitely top-notch, not something an ordinary person would possess, but clearly the result of intense training.

Thus, she too wished to know, who exactly was Ying.

Yet as she looked at Ying, surrounded by bodyguards, motionless and just staring blankly at her, his pale face showing so much astonishment and surprise, like that of someone who felt abandoned, seeming very helpless, she felt pity.

"Ling Kong, he just saved me, don’t be like this," she couldn’t help but speak out.

Ling Kong furrowed his brows, looking coldly at Ying, examining him with a scrutinizing gaze: "Aunt Ye, please don’t let emotions cloud your judgment. To save, one must see whether it’s genuine or just a means to gain your trust, there’s a big difference."

Ye Lu’s heart tightened, feeling somewhat uneasy; if Ying was aiming to gain trust, it would make her sad.

She had thought him to be a man of simple thoughts; however, if he was as Ling Kong suspected, a deceitful figure lurking by her side with ulterior motives, it would disappoint her further, making it even harder to accept.

After all, she genuinely wanted to rescue this man who lost his memory, to improve his future life so he wouldn’t be abandoned by society, but possibly, this was just her wishful thinking, a tactic of his to gain her sympathy.

"Didn’t you ask me to be your bodyguard? What did I do wrong? Shouldn’t I protect you?" Ying just looked at her, his eyes dim and bewildered, "Did I disobey your order, acting on my own? Are you angry?"

His last words were filled with confusion, his uncertain gaze seeking answers, like a pitiable child deserted and isolated, looking helpless.

Ye Lu was taken aback, feeling that his expression really didn’t seem feigned, so innocent.

"Ying, I don’t want to suspect you, but your skills and reactions are so formidable, they indicate you are not of ordinary origin. Can you explain why your skills surpass those of a professional bodyguard, how you could take down several men alone?"

Ying’s pale face turned even whiter: "I don’t know, I only saw them threatening you, wanting to take you away, so I rushed out. I needed to protect you."
