Special Forces Medic-Chapter 651 - 613: Today I Don’t Want to Kill

"Bro, don't you think you should give Xia Xue and the others a call? If Fourth Master said the gift prepared for you is harm, I think they might also be within her scope of action. After all, Fourth Master found Xia Xue first, and she seems unaware of Wu Shuang's existence," Hua Qingyi reminded Xiao Lin as he got out of the car.

"If that's the case, even if I call or rush back now, it's all in vain. The fact that Zilin and the others haven't reported anything is the best news."

Xiao Lin had changed. What was once thought to be a change due only to battle was now not the case. "Bro, you've changed." Xiao Lin moved his lips slightly. Had he changed? Maybe. "That Zacks, you originally intended to save him, right?"

"Drive the car to the designated location as quickly as possible." Closing the car door, Xiao Lin ran towards the central garden.

Wu Shuang felt she had taken the wrong direction. She didn't consider herself directionally challenged; anyone who can drive generally has a strong sense of direction and wouldn't get lost on these few streets. She stopped walking, her sensitive nose seeming to detect a hint of danger.

It's the unusual that makes one anxious. From her phone being suddenly unable to receive calls to getting lost on the street, these two seemingly unrelated incidents made Wu Shuang feel an unprecedented crisis closing in on her.

"Are you Miss Wu Shuang?" Just as she was hesitating, a voice came from ahead.

"Who are you?"

"Our master wishes to have a cup of tea with you. It won't take long."

Master? Such a rare term, like something out of a period drama. "I'm sorry, I don't have time right now."

"I heard that Officer Wu has been investigating a murder case recently. My master said that just mentioning this would make you come along."

"He seems to know me well, but I really don't have the time right now."

"I see!" The man appeared to be in a quandary. "We really don't want to be rough with Officer Wu, but we still hope you'll come with us."

Though he said as much, his actions left Wu Shuang no chance to escape. At some point, a few people had appeared behind her, surrounding her from all sides. Without a second thought, Wu Shuang immediately adopted an offensive stance.

She kicked over the first person who approached and then leaped to attack the second who was stepping forward.

"Officer Wu, you're making things difficult for us." Seeing the situation, the speaker took action. He disliked having casualties, especially women.

"I'm sorry, I have no intention of going with you." Wu Shuang chuckled twice. The people surrounding her weren't too formidable, and she could easily handle them. The man speaking strangely and pretentiously didn't seem easily intimidated, but in a one-on-one situation, she might still have a chance.

"If you underestimate your enemy, it will be hard to win. That's what my master taught me, and it fits perfectly with you now."

"What are you talking about?"

"Just telling you not to underestimate your opponent, and not to judge a book by its cover."

Wu Shuang didn't have time to see the opponent clearly before she found herself outside the defensive circle. She was unable to resist the opponent's first attack, and her shoulder was grazed by some sharp weapon.

"This thing shouldn't be unfamiliar to you!" Seeing the first move succeed, he waved a weapon with a Lotus Hook in his hand.

"Who the hell are you?"

"Who I am isn't important. What's important is, you have to come with me."

This time, the opponent left no mercy and directly struck Wu Shuang's face. The speed was such that she couldn't see clearly or dodge, resulting in a miserable defeat for Wu Shuang.

Watching the incapacitated person, the man withdrew the Lotus Hook, talking to himself.

"You can't take her away!" Mu Rongyun, having been present from the beginning, hadn't revealed himself because he didn't want Wu Shuang to see him. But now he regretted his decision slightly.

"Mu Rongyun?" The man was taken aback to see who was blocking his way, and quickly changed his demeanor. "The master demands that I bring the person. Are you going to stop me? That would amount to betraying the master." His tone was still sarcastically disdainful, making it unpleasant to hear.

"She is your master, not mine." Mu Rongyun wasn't intimidated by his words at all, approaching him leisurely. "You can't take this person."

"Mu Rongyun, you don't have a say in this." The Lotus Hook was held in front of his chest.

"Hmm!" Mu Rongyun replied with a nasal sound, shaking his head afterward. "Hong has been with Xiao Mu for a long time."

"What?" The man seemed confused by Mu Rongyun's words.

"I said Hong has been with Xiao Mu for a long time, and her pair of hooks have been separated for a long time too."

"You intend to kill me!" Finally understanding Mu Rongyun's meaning, the man exclaimed in disbelief. "This is someone the master wants."

"I don't want to kill you, but if you insist on taking her, I have no choice." When Mu Rongyun mentioned the word 'master,' he frowned. "She is your master, not mine."

"Mu Rongyun, be aware of the consequences of betraying the master."

"Hey, I've said she isn't my master." Mu Rongyun set his gaze on Wu Shuang beside the man. "Did you hurt her?"

"She was being disobedient!" Mu Rongyun's voice was as cold as someone emerging from an ice cave, causing the man to flinch backward.

Sigh! After a sigh, Mu Rongyun acted. His movements weren't fast, but the clearly visible trajectory terrified the man, prompting him to dodge to the side.

"Mu Rongyun, you must understand the consequences of your actions."

"You still have a chance!"

The man hesitated, the outcome of whether to fight or not lay in the punishment he would face upon returning. If he fought, he would die; if he didn't fight, he might die as well. It was a dilemma.

"Wu Shuang is the master's guest, she doesn't want to harm her."

"Do you take me for a child?" This time, Mu Rongyun's movements were even slower than before, making it unclear what he intended to do. Because it was slow, it was harder to guess his strike point, which for a man accustomed to quick attacks, was an unintentional deadly weakness. "You are no match for me."

"Dying by your hand is better than dying by the master's hand." The man made his decision.

Mu Rongyun made his move, and the sudden acceleration left the man unable to counterattack. This was his method, simple yet powerful. The man rolled on the ground, dodging the strike, but he knew he couldn't evade the next one.

"Give me a quick death!" There was no sarcasm in his tone; it actually sounded much more pleasant.

"I don't want to kill anyone today. Go!" Mu Rongyun picked up a person from the ground, not wanting to get embroiled in bloodshed.

"Mu Rongyun!" The man hastily wanted to chase after Mu Rongyun; he couldn't let him do this to him. A handsome man grabbed his shoulder from behind. "Let go!"

"If you take me back, it will be more useful than taking her." Xiao Lin sported a benign smile.

Getting out of Hua Qingyi's car, he should have gone straight to the central garden. However, Mu Rongyun's appearance caused him to change direction. It seemed he consciously wanted to lead him somewhere, and before his mind could decide, his legs had already followed him here.

As if some agreement had been reached, Xiao Lin stayed on the sidelines without intervening.

"Why should I believe you?"

"You're dead if you return, so why not take a chance?" Seeing the man's hesitation, Xiao Lin tilted his head. "You can greet your master, surely you have contact details? If my offer is useless, then I'll send you on your way instead of that person just now, how about that?"

"Madman!" The man didn't believe Xiao Lin and tried to search towards the direction where no one was visible anymore.

"Are all people under the Fourth Master like you?"

"You know our Family Head?"

"I've seen your hook. Who is the woman beside Xiao Mu to you?"

"You..."

"Xiao Lin!" The man stared in disbelief, pointing at him; perhaps this was a turning point for him to survive. "Making a phone call isn't difficult."

With a beguiling tone, the man took out his phone and, after a few seconds, handed it over to Xiao Lin.

"Fourth Master!" Xiao Lin chuckled softly.

"Young Master Xiao, you've spoiled my plans again." The Fourth Master held the receiver, lazily reclining on the plush carpet. She disliked beds; preferring the sense of presence the ground gave her over the emptiness of a bed.

"Fourth Master wants to take my person, naturally I have to protect it, otherwise, it wouldn't show my sincerity."

"I've received your sincerity." Holding a slim cigarette in her long, slender holder, she took a deep drag from the smoke that came from it, inhaling deeply through her nose, and exhaling through her mouth.

The silence on the other side made Xiao Lin laugh in the electric arc. "It seems the Fourth Master does not particularly wish to see me."

"Young Master Xiao, this round goes to you, until we meet again."

She hung up the phone cleanly and decisively, clearly angered! "It seems your master doesn't really want to see me, but it also sounds like they aren't too keen on killing you either."

The man expected to hear good news, but Xiao Lin's words disappointed him.

"We shall not meet again!"

The man stood still, his phone ringing in his hand. "Master!"

The trembling in his voice and the sound of sniffing made the man look ridiculous.

The man wouldn't die. If for this alone she kills a useful person, then the Fourth Master is not much. Xiao Lin headed towards the place he had agreed upon with Hua Qingyi and lit a cigarette.

The factory had been destroyed, where was the Fourth Master's lair??

From afar, he spotted Hua Qingyi's overly conspicuous sports car, and Xiao Lin walked over. "Wu Shuang? You didn't pick her up?"

"With Mu Rongyun there, we don't need to worry."

"Oh, where are we going now?"

"Back to the brick kiln!" Xiao Lin always felt they had missed a crucial place and needed to verify it again.

"Let me guess, are you suspecting that lavatory and the river beside it?"

"Not entirely! We need to confirm once more at the bottom."

"No problem, but before that, we need to pick up two people." Hua Qingyi pointed to the two individuals approaching from afar outside the car window. (To be continued. If you like this work, feel free to vote for it on Qidian (qidian.com). Your support is my greatest motivation.)
