Chapter 393: Utter Disappointment
Lin Tian glanced at Wu Yong and said, "But you can’t just tie her up and put her in an empty room. She won’t fly off to heaven?"
After speaking, Lin Tian strode over to the female police officer. He gently peeled off the tape from her mouth, then took out his Black Dragon from his waist, and with an upward motion, he cut the rope.
Once she was free, the female police officer suddenly jumped up from the chair, her eyes bloodshot. Barred teeth bared, she lunged at Wu Yong without a word.
Wu Yong, a recent high school graduate, how could he stand against a specially trained female police officer?
With nowhere to escape, he was caught by her.
After grabbing Wu Yong, the female police officer used a Grapple move, then lifted him and slammed him hard onto the ground.
"Bang!" The floor seemed to shake a little.
Wu Yong’s facial features twisted as he lay on the floor. He took a sharp breath and started coughing, "Tian, this chick is crazy, hurry and save me!"
Just as Wu Yong finished speaking, the female police officer swung her fist without hesitation and hit Wu Yong’s face.
"Ah!"
Wu Yong screamed in pain, feeling like half of his face had collapsed. If he took another punch, he might be disfigured.
The female police officer’s movements were too fast; this set of rapid attacks took only a few blinks of an eye.
Seeing his brother in distress, Lin Tian rushed forward, hugged the female police officer’s slim waist, and lifted her up.
Simultaneously, Lin Tian glanced back at Wu Yong, lying on the ground with his right eye bruised. Silently lamenting for his brother, he finally understood why he had tied up the female police officer.
This is a tigress!
Although Lin Tian held her by the waist, the female police officer’s limbs kept struggling as she tried to break free from Lin Tian’s embrace to continue assaulting Wu Yong. She shouted continuously, "Bastard, I’ll kill you."
No matter how much she struggled, Lin Tian’s arms were like clamps, immobilizing her.
After a while, probably tired from struggling, she quieted down.
Lin Tian whispered near her ear, "Are you done causing trouble? I’ll let you go if you stop."
She weakly nodded, and only then did Lin Tian let go.
As soon as he let go, she turned around, wrapped her arms around Lin Tian’s neck, rested her face on his shoulder, and started to cry loudly.
Lin Tian and Wu Yong looked at each other, both dumbfounded. What the heck is this situation?
Wu Yong instantly jumped in anger, pointing at Lin Tian and cursing, "Damn? Why does this chick hit me, but ends up crying in your arms, and you get all the benefits?"
Lin Tian patted her back gently, silently comforting her. He looked at Wu Yong and said with a smile, "Maybe because you’re ugly."
Wu Yong grew even angrier, not only stomping his feet but turning circles in place with frustration.
Lin Tian made a gesture towards him and said, "Take me to another clean room."
"No." Wu Yong sulked against the wall, refusing to move.
Amused, Lin Tian urged, "Hurry up."
Wu Yong glanced sulkily at the female police officer and reluctantly led the way.
Lin Tian patted the female officer’s back, "Stop crying, I’ll take you to a clean room to rest."
"I have no strength left, I can’t walk."
The female officer continued to lie weakly on Lin Tian’s shoulder and spoke.
Lin Tian thought for a moment, realizing she was just as tired. The female officer was human too; he wasn’t sure how many days she’d been captured by those people. After such a tumultuous day and some crying, her tense nerves must have loosened,
Without options, Lin Tian gently removed her arms from around his neck, turned around, and carried the female officer on his back.
The female officer lay closely on Lin Tian’s back as he supported her with both hands under her thighs, lifting her up a bit.
Instantly, both of their faces turned red. Fortunately, they couldn’t see each other’s faces, or it would have been mortifying.
After Wu Yong led them to a new room, he sat down on the sofa and said, "Tian, this is a room I reserved specially for you. You can stay here whenever you come."
With the female officer on his back, Lin Tian walked into the room and saw that it was a suite. Not only did it have a living room and bathroom, but also a kitchen. The decor was nice and quite to his taste; it seemed Wu Yong had put some thought into it.
After taking a few curious glances, Lin Tian gently placed the female officer on the sofa.
Then he heard her stomach growling.
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and asked Wu Yong, "Didn’t you give her anything to eat tonight?"
Wu Yong, like a wronged little wife, said aggrievedly, "How would I dare not feed this lady? She just didn’t want to eat, okay?"
Lin Tian waved him off, "Stop wasting time, go get some food. I didn’t eat much tonight either, only drank. Oh, and get two sets of clothes for girls."
"Hold on a moment." Wu Yong took out his phone, made a call, and listed the things Lin Tian wanted. Then he hung up and said, "The food and clothes will be delivered soon."
Lin Tian smiled and teased him, "Not bad, kid, now you can even order people around."
Wu Yong chuckled, "How could I not? I’m a big boss now, aren’t I?"
Lin Tian ignored him and walked over to the fridge for three bottles of mineral water. He tossed one to Wu Yong, opened another, and offered it to the female officer, "Have a drink."
The female officer neither took the water nor even looked at Lin Tian.
Seeing this, Wu Yong laughed, "Tian, didn’t expect you couldn’t handle this chick either. I don’t think there’s any need to be nice to her. She’s probably thinking about how to throw us in jail right now."
The female officer began to speak, "Aren’t you wondering if you should kill me?"
Lin Tian set the water down and shook his head, "I think we could become friends, so I have no intention of killing you."
In his heart, Wu Yong gave Lin Tian a thumbs-up, secretly thinking: Flirting with a cop, only Tian could pull off something so unreliable.
"Become friends with me? Maybe once upon a time." The female officer looked disappointedly at Lin Tian, "But now I’m thoroughly disappointed in you."
Lin Tian was puzzled and asked the female officer, "Have we met before?"
She nodded, "Twice. And I remember you very well."
Lin Tian muttered to himself, "But I have no memory of you at all..."
Wu Yong suddenly showed interest, squinting his eyes as he came to a conclusion in his mind: There’s something fishy going on!
"What’s your name?" Lin Tian asked.
"Xu Ning’an."
