"Si Yuanzhen, thank you for saving me." Ye Jinwu thanked him sincerely. In addition to being grateful to him, her heart was also filled with emotion, as well as complex emotions stirring deep in her heart.
The mouth was completely treated, and all the strength and energy in her body were suddenly exhausted. She was very tired and wanted to close her eyes and faint, but the wound on her shoulder hurt so much that her chest felt heavy, suffocated, and nauseous.
She felt like vomiting.
However, perhaps because I had not eaten for too long, my stomach was empty and all that was left was a twitching discomfort.
Si Yuanzhen helped her lie down on the bed and pulled the quilt for her: "I said that I can climb mountains of swords and go through seas of fire for you, and this is not an empty promise."
After learning that she was held hostage by bandits, he chased after her.
There was no trade-off, no hesitation.
He was like a beast that had been hungry for a long time. He only had his eyes fixed on his prey and was determined to tear it to pieces at all costs.
Ye Jinwu opened her mouth and finally whispered, "I... am not worth it!"
Before, when Si Yuanzhen said this to her, she really didn’t believe it. She thought it was just sweet talk from a man when he was hunting for beauty.
However, when they met again, he proved with his actions that what he said was true. When she knew that she was saved by him, her heart was filled with joy and excitement, and she could hardly suppress the emotions gushing out of her heart.
Obviously, the old-fashioned plot of the hero saving the beauty, even if it is cliché, still has an irresistible charm.
Si Yuanzhen's fingers gently brushed away the messy hair on her face: "Whether it is worth it or not, you don't have the final say. I have the final say."
Ye Jinwu didn't know what to say for a moment.
It would be a lie to say that I wasn’t moved or shocked in my heart.
In her heart, she tried to dissuade those who said that Qi Da was not a good match for her and that they were well-matched. In her heart, she was belittling herself. But this man dispelled all her hesitations with just one sentence.
—Whether it is worth it or not, you have no say. I have the final say!
He came to save her at such a risk, did he think she was worth it
The answer is already in my heart.
As if Si Yuanzhen was afraid that she would be shocked enough, he continued to add: "You... are worth my life in exchange."
He only found out about this later.
Watching the bullet crash into her body, at that moment he wished he could take her place, or at least feel the same pain.
At that moment, he was honestly terrified.
Ye Jinwu's heart was completely confused. She changed the subject in panic: "Do you... know... who is holding me hostage?"
She could feel that the defense she had built up for him with so much difficulty was crumbling bit by bit, and she was worried that if she let him continue talking, she would really be defeated.
The pain made her weak.
The pain also made her unable to sleep.
She had to endure the most painful period until the pain consumed all her energy, exhausted her body, and paralyzed her nerves, then she could temporarily forget the pain, pass out or fall asleep.
"They are a major drug trafficking gang that has been roaming the Z-Vietnam border for many years. Every year, they sell more than a billion worth of drugs. They are extremely vicious and often create violent incidents on the Z-Vietnam border. The police have been tracking this case for several years. Several undercover elites have been sacrificed. They went through a lot of hardships to get into this drug trafficking gang and expose their true colors. These two are wanted criminals on the run."
In recent years, with the growing influence of the international trade distribution market in Ruili and Wanding, the border has also become a holy place for many criminals to make money.
Especially drug trafficking, which has almost formed a chain of large and small groups on a huge scale.
All kinds of business are done in the border area under the jurisdiction of Si family, except drug business. This is Si family’s bottom line.
He returned to the border from Italy this time just for this matter.
He assisted the police in completely smashing this huge and complex drug trafficking group, and he no longer participated in the subsequent series of events.
It was beyond his expectation that Ye Jinwu was held hostage.
"I see, no wonder..." The police were unwilling to let them go easily. Only then did Ye Jinwu realize that she had been so close to death.
Those vicious drug dealers have no humanity at all, and they especially hate people from country Z. If she falls into their hands, she will be doomed.
However, Si Yuanzhen saved her.
Si Yuanzhen said: "It's not that those policemen don't want to rescue you, but they have lost their humanity. Even if they give up the confrontation, they may not let you go easily. They can only adopt a policy of confrontation and delay, waiting for the right opportunity, and then strike the criminals when their spirits are weak."
In fact, he disdains to associate with the police.
However, he knew that Ye Jinwu had received good education since childhood and that the police had always been a glorious figure in her heart, so he spoke to comfort her.
Moreover, what he said was true.
However, if it were him, he probably wouldn’t be able to be as calm as the police.
Ye Jinwu nodded: "The border between Z and Vietnam is not safe. The Vietnamese hate the Z people. I heard that there are a group of radical elements who often create violent incidents here. The lives of the Z people cannot be guaranteed here. Is our current situation very dangerous?"
Just to save her, he risked his life alone. Their current situation must be very bad!
It was she who implicated him.
"It's okay." He said, tapping his fingers subconsciously on the submachine gun beside him. The murderous intent on his body almost turned into substance, but disappeared without a trace in an instant: "No one dares to be my enemy here, so we are safe. I have contacted my men, and they will come to support us soon. I will not let you get hurt again."
He said it with great certainty.
On that evil and charming face, there is proud confidence and domineering aura.
He is majestic and fearless.
Such a man should be full of charm, but at this moment Ye Jinwu felt mixed emotions: "Thank you!"
She never gave up exploring him, understanding him, and even dissecting him deep in her heart. The deeper her understanding of him, the more frightened she became.
Because she clearly realized that what she knew, guessed and explored was just the tip of the iceberg of this man. The whole Si Yuanzhen was not something she could bear.
So, she escaped.
At the same time, I was irresistibly attracted to him and became curious about him.
Si Yuanzhen looked at her with a strong and sharp look in his eyes, like the abyss of hell: "Ye Jinwu, do you know who you saved with your "The Sutra of the Original Vow of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva" in Master Lingji's Zen room that day?"
Knowing that her wound was painful, she would not be able to fall asleep for a while.
So, he tried to find a topic to talk about, hoping to divert her attention and reduce her pain.
Ye Jinwu was stunned: "Were you there too?"
