The news reported on the vicious gun battle in the suburbs.
Jin Yang had instructed the relevant departments to attribute the incident to a gang fight over territory.
Back at the villa, Qiu Tong looked at Song Yan lying on the bed. She treated the wound on his abdomen.
The Vulture members had used a shotgun which caused serious damage to Song Yan’s abdomen area.
A flirtatious and wicked expression crossed Song Yan’s pale and haggard face. He narrowed his eyes and quietly watched as Qiu Tong sutured his wounds without anesthesia. Occasionally, he would grunt in pain.
He clenched the bed sheets tightly and endured with all his might.
Qiu Tong stared at him and casually probed. “Why were you at the abandoned factory?”
The timing of Song Yan’s appearance was too strange. Qiu Tong suspected that he was linked to the masked criminals.
Qiu Tong’s blunt question made Song Yan press against his heart sadly. “I’m your savior, but you still suspect me?”
“I took a plane from the capital to S City at dawn. I saw suspicious cars at the toll station on the airport’s highway. Since I was bored, I followed them. I wanted to watch a good gunfight, but I didn’t expect their target to be you.” ƒr𝙚𝙚𝘸e𝚋𝐧૦ѵ𝒆𝒍.𝒄𝒐m
“Who knows why I was kind enough to take the bullet for you back then? I’m probably crazy.”
Song Yan wiped away his cold sweat. His body trembled violently, but he still said flirtatiously, “If I really wanted to harm you, would I need to let myself get hurt to do it?”
Qiu Tong frowned slightly, but her actions became gentler than before.
In the living room, Jin Yang listened to Shao An and the guards’ report. There were dozens of dead bodies at the scene of the abandoned factory, most of whom had died from the explosion or gunshot wounds. When Shao An examined the corpses at the scene, he confirmed that all Vulture members had the tattoo on their bodies.
Jin Yang flipped through the photos at the scene and took out a rather special one, scanning it repeatedly.
Shao An explained the photo. “This is a photo of a dead body who should be a member of the masked criminal gang. We found him among the ruins. We speculate that the roof beam structure crashed down on him and killed him.”
Jin Yang re-examined the information. Sensing something strange, he looked up at the guards. “Only this one corpse?”
Although the situation at that time was complicated, Jin Yang was very sure that the masked criminal gang had suffered heavy casualties. There shouldn’t only be one corpse!
The captain of the guards nodded. “Sir, there are signs of a clean-up at the scene. They must have taken their dead comrades away.”
“The place where this corpse was buried was hidden. They didn’t have much time to fully scout the area, so they didn’t find it.”
Jin Yang and Shao An were both silent. Why were they so cautious?
Could it be that the dead bodies would reveal clues about them?!
Jin Yang motioned for Shao An to bring the corpse back for further examination.
The villa was filled with a sense of oppression after the ordeal. The children fell into a deep sleep due to exhaustion. Jin Yang wanted to check on Song Yan’s condition. He pushed the door open and saw that Song Yan was naked and acting very flirtatiously.
Qiu Tong was sewing up his wounds with her head lowered. Her hand movements were extremely stable, and she did not stop Song Yan’s actions.
Jin Yang deliberately made a sound as he opened the door. Song Yan looked up at him and leaned against the bed frame. He said in a provocative tone, “You brought dozens of heavily-armed guards. You were truly cautious when dealing with your enemy.” f𝓇𝘦e𝑤𝘦𝚋𝒏૦ѵℯ𝒍.c𝐨𝒎
“If I hadn’t appeared, you would probably be holding Qiu Tong in your arms and crying about your uselessness right now, right?”
Jin Yang’s expression changed as Song Yan mocked him. He clenched his fists and stared at him.
Qiu Tong tightened her grip on the needle and thread, causing Song Yan to gasp in pain.
Song Yan was in so much pain that his thin lips went pale as he growled, “Hey! I’m telling the truth!”
Qiu Tong stood up to pack up the first aid kit. She gently brushed back the loose strands of hair at her temples and glanced at Song Yan indifferently. “You’ve lost too much blood. You need to recuperate quietly. It’s best if you don’t talk so much! Otherwise, you’ll probably have to lie in bed for a long period of time.”
“I’ll come by regularly to change your dressing. Have a good rest.”
With that, she held Jin Yang’s elbow and pulled him out of the room. She closed the door behind her.
Jin Yang’s expression was extremely ugly. Qiu Tong looked up at him and said gently, “Your identity requires you to consider many things. You can’t sacrifice the members of your team rashly just because of me. They are also people. I understand your dilemma.”
Qiu Tong smiled and looked at the closed door.
“But Song Yan did save my life at the critical moment.”
“Bear with him for a while. No matter what he says, it won’t affect our relationship, right?”
Qiu Tong coquettishly buried her head into Jin Yang’s chest. Jin Yang raised his hand and placed it on her shoulder. He took a deep breath and nodded reluctantly.
However, Song Yan’s words were like a thorn that had taken root in Jin Yang’s heart, just waiting for the right time to germinate and grow!
The burden and responsibility brought by Jin Yang’s status made him feel stifled and unable to breathe. He could only hug Qiu Tong tightly and try his best to forget the images that flashed in his mind…
