Marrying the Short-Lived, Maniacal Eldest Miss for Good Fortune 110

Chapter 110

Although it was called an escort, Lin Shuxing was not restricted in any way.

Seeing Fang Yi lying on the ground, she immediately ran over and wiped the dust from her face with her sleeve.

The two blonde, blue-eyed women behind her were wearing silver-gray suits with a rose gold badge on their collars. They looked to have a higher authority, but they also walked in Lin Shuxing’s footsteps like her bodyguards. Noticing Fang Yi’s pathetic state, they immediately frowned and glared fiercely at the original guard.

“Why are you here…” Fang Yi asked.

“They said you were here, so I came too.” The young lady cupped Fang Yi’s face with a pained heart and examined her from left to right. “How could they be so rough with you?”

The biggest advantage of hitting the abdomen was that it couldn’t be seen from the outside and it wasn’t easy to injure the internal organs. Fang Yi’s lowered eyelashes trembled, and she curled her fingertips and hid them.

The lady in the gray suit stepped forward, helped Fang Yi up, and respectfully said that this was just a misunderstanding. Since an agreement had been reached, Fang Yi was their honored friend.

Fang Yi was slightly stunned. “What agreement?”

The young lady shrugged indifferently. “The first rule of kidnapping is to agree to whatever they want.”

Kidnapping even has rules.

Fang Yi’s expression became very complicated. How could she agree to such a matter of principle? She had originally been prepared for a life-and-death struggle, but now she had to add a Lin Shuxing…

Lin Shuxing’s gaze swept over the wreckage of the glasses on the ground, and her cold gaze swept up from the man’s shoes to his face.

The young lady walked in front of him, greeted him very elegantly, and motioned for the man to squat down.

Everyone was not very wary of this little one, as if a little lamb had suddenly strayed into a den of fierce beasts.

Pure, kind, slender… completely non-threatening.

The man obediently did as he was told under her gaze, half-squatted down, and rested his hands on his knees, as if he were very curious about what she wanted to do.

Fang Yi looked up in astonishment, vaguely realizing, but before she could stop her, the young lady had already raised her palm, and with a force from her waist, she had swung a beautiful blow like she was playing golf, and had sent this sturdy man staggering. He covered his face in disbelief, and a trickle of blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Shuxing turned around, pulled away to a safe distance, and stared at the blonde woman coldly. She was the first to break the silence in the room and said proudly, “We have the intention to cooperate. And you? Is this your country’s sincerity?”

The old, creaking ship was surprisingly quiet at this moment. Although they were the ones who had been kidnapped, they had been forcefully pulled to the negotiating table, and each side had put up an undeniable bargaining chip.

Elara stood in the corner, and like the others, she stared at the young lady with suspicion.

After the forensic scientists and the cryptography team had studied those notes for a day and a night, their unanimous judgment was to capture Lin Shuxing as a soft spot to control Fang Yi, a “dog leash.”

In the company, Elara had also seen Lin Shuxing a few times, and her impression of her was no different from that of ordinary noble young ladies. But now, it seemed that her full-score profiling course still had a major flaw.

The man had been held back by his companion before he could get angry. The blonde woman raised her hand and asked, “Lady, what do you wish to do?”

Lin Shuxing pointed at him. “Throw him off the ship. Being in the same space as him makes me uncomfortable all over.”

The blonde woman hesitated and said, “That’s impossible. We can’t abandon our companion.”

“Then just add a rope and tie him to the side of the ship,” the young lady said nonchalantly. “Aren’t we your companions now? You just promised the highest treatment. I can’t see that your country’s researchers are treated so poorly.”

The woman pondered for a moment, waved her hand, and someone immediately stepped forward and pushed the indignant man out.

“Are these flowers you prepared for me?” Lin Shuxing’s fingertips touched the bouquet, and she looked at Fang Yi with a smile.

Fang Yi nodded.

It was obviously inappropriate to talk about this here, but the young lady lowered her eyes and looked at the bouquet for a moment, the light in her eyes shifting. She gently caressed the petals and said with a smile, “I like it very much!”

She hooked her arm around Fang Yi’s neck and left a circle of deep and shallow kisses. The others could only awkwardly look away.

Fang Yi sensed the young lady’s soft lips gently brushing against her cheek, and the fragmented syllables pieced together a few low whispers.

“…”

Her humming tone was too cute, and her distorted voice carried a kind of reassuring certainty. Her heart suddenly beat faster than when she had been kissed. If it weren’t for the young lady’s hands wrapped around her, and lightly pressing on the back of her hand, Fang Yi would have almost wanted to pull her into her arms with force.

The cabin was too dark, and the air was also very turbid. Under the young lady’s comfort, Fang Yi reluctantly agreed to negotiate with them. When she walked onto the deck, the setting sun on the river had not yet completely set.

Lin Shuxing’s negotiating skills were strange and tricky, and she soon gained the upper hand. Not only did she very forcefully set unusually strict requirements for the project, but she also proposed that she could not take a helicopter, as it was too bumpy, and a fishing boat and a cruise ship were also not acceptable, as they made her want to vomit.

According to the principle, they should have left quickly, but this young lady hostage’s face was too pale. She had held on to the sail and had dry-heaved several times. The leader had no choice but to order the speeding ship to slow down.

After signing the pledge of allegiance in black and white, everyone’s attitude improved a lot. Although they still had not untied Fang Yi, they were basically responsive to her requests. Even the chair that Lin Shuxing was sitting on had to be padded with a suit jacket first.

However, even with careful care, the young lady’s condition visibly weakened. Her lips turned pale, and small red dots appeared on her neck. She leaned on Fang Yi’s shoulder and coughed in pain.

The leader took out the medicine that had been prepared long ago. They had made full preparations for this kidnapping, including the prescription drugs that Lin Shuxing usually took.

The young lady’s throat was delicate, and it was very difficult for her to take medicine. She even choked when she swallowed, and her whole body curled up like a little cat, with no sign of improvement.

The leader frowned and carefully checked Lin Shuxing’s breathing. It was getting weaker and weaker. Under Fang Yi’s urging, she also became anxious and ran to the dark room to make several requests.

The ship could not go fast, and it was far from reaching the scheduled route. It was drifting in the middle of the river, and the vast evening glow was about to dim.

Fang Yi said anxiously, “No, send her to the hospital!”

The blonde lady hesitated for a long time and gave an ultimatum. “She can. You can’t leave the ship. We will arrange for people to meet you on the shore.”

“We must be together,” Fang Yi emphasized, her tone hoarse, with a hint of a nasal sound. “I swear, if anything happens to her, no one will have a good time.”

“Even if you use a supercomputer for another ten years, you won’t be able to crack the encryption of the core data. Zong Heng wrote it, but I can tell you the password.”

During the bottleneck period, Fang Yi had reorganized a copy of the data. Only this part had not been shown to Elara. Once the underlying source code was obtained, anyone could freely carry out research based on this data.

Even in the negotiation, the leader had been very smart and had not mentioned this part. This kind of top-priority bargaining chip, a normal person would never hand it over.

It could even be said that this data was the culmination of the first half of Fang Yi’s research and was her greatest value.

Elara, who had been silent all along, finally couldn’t help but speak. “Teacher…!”

If this data was cracked, Fang Yi’s bargaining chip would be greatly reduced. In the situation where Fang Yi’s safety could not be guaranteed, the optimal choice was… to kill her.

Then one and two, there was not much difference.

The blonde lady narrowed her eyes and respectfully said that she needed to ask for instructions from her superior. She then went around to the other side of the cabin, frowned, and lit a cigarette.

The gray and white smoke curled up into the night. Her thinking time flickered with the spark of the smoke ring, and it was quickly extinguished.

The bullet was silently loaded. They had agreed to Fang Yi’s request.

When the ship docked, a plain old Santana was already parked there, with muddy stains on the license plate.

They carefully carried the pale young lady into the back seat. The young lady did not even take her beloved handbag, but she still held on to the bouquet and refused to let go. Fang Yi was tied up in the passenger seat with her hands behind her back. When the accelerator was started, the whole car shook violently. For every li they drove, Fang Yi would report a password.

Another black car followed behind, and they passed through a remote national highway together. On both sides of the road were rice paddies that were about to turn yellow, their heads hanging low.

Elara was driving. The woman sitting next to Lin Shuxing pointed a gun at Fang Yi and warned coldly, “If you dare to give the wrong password, your lover will be dead.”

She had originally thought that a person as absolutely rational as Fang Yi would be a hard nut to crack. She had not expected to get the password so easily. Her previous efforts had been in vain. She should have just gone straight for Lin Shuxing.

Fang Yi, in the passenger seat, was as silent as a stubborn stone. From time to time, she would turn her head to check on Lin Shuxing’s condition. She had no other expression, only her slightly red eyes and her restrained lips revealed her chaotic thoughts.

The car turned a corner. Fang Yi slowly reported the last password. In the moment the other side was verifying it, the blonde woman held her breath and stared at Fang Yi’s every move, and the dark muzzle was tilted up a little more.

At this time, Fang Yi’s hands were tied behind her back, and the muzzle was right there. No matter how skilled she was, she could not escape. If such a infatuated genius could really be used by her, it would not be a bad thing, but—

The blonde woman’s complicated gaze suddenly froze. A sharp pain came from her neck, and as the cold liquid was pushed into her blood vessels, all her strength was suddenly drained.

“Mmm…!”

As the best special agent, she didn’t even have time to make a sound to remind them. Her lips were covered by the young lady’s soft and tender palm, and she gave her a pale, brilliant smile.

The young lady, who had just been too weak to walk, was extremely ruthless. More than half of the needle was completely embedded in her skin, yet she still had an innocent smile on her face, and she silently made a shushing gesture to her.

A roar came from the walkie-talkie. “Fu*k, we’ve been tricked! The data has self-destructed, and the satellite tracking has been activated!”

Boom—

The view on the great river was wide. The curses, along with the soaring flames, ended in the buzzing of the electromagnetic waves.

Elara subconsciously turned her head to look at the young lady in the back seat, but Fang Yi, in the passenger seat, suddenly and like lightning, grabbed her neck, and her other hand firmly held the steering wheel, her tone as calm as the countless times she had given her instructions before. “Elara, step on the gas to the end.”

“Old, teacher.” Elara was forced to raise her head and called out hoarsely.

Fang Yi observed the closely pursuing vehicles in the rearview mirror, and with a sharp turn of the steering wheel, the bullets that had pierced the air hit the sandy road, and a cluster of sparks exploded.

The clear and undulating blue veins could be seen on her long, slender knuckles. Her strength was as great as if steel had been welded on them, and for a moment, Elara could not turn at all.

There was a turn ahead. Just as Elara was about to slow down, Fang Yi’s thumb moved to her throat. “I won’t kill you. Do as I say.”

“You are a good child. As long as you leave safely today, I will not hold you responsible for anything. If you want to stay, we also welcome you.”

In the moment of Elara’s hesitation, the back door of the car was suddenly opened. In the slowest moment, the frail young lady struggled to kick the unconscious woman out with a “thud.”

The gun with a special number was now in Lin Shuxing’s hand. She smiled and pressed it against the back of Elara’s head, and said softly, “Alright, your officer is gone. Now listen to Teacher Fang. You can speed up.”

Elara said with difficulty, “But didn’t you already sign an agreement?”

The young lady raised an eyebrow lightly. “What’s the point of keeping a promise with a dead person?”

Elara: “…”

The vehicles behind were slowing down. After the high beams were turned off, the Santana gradually disappeared into the vast night.

Fang Yi turned on the center light and nervously reached out to check the pulse on the young lady’s wrist. Her weak leap was much slower than her own.

Lin Shuxing looked at Fang Yi’s clear black and white face, and her reddened eyes were exceptionally obvious. She couldn’t help but hook her finger and praised, “I didn’t expect your acting skills to be so good, my dear.”

The woman didn’t speak and silently turned her face away a little.

Lin Shuxing savored her silence and suddenly chewed out a hint of an immature and embarrassed emotion. She was slightly stunned, and then she realized that it was not an act. Even though she had already known that this would happen, she was still so worried and anxious.

Under her cold skin, a more intense dark current was clearly surging.

Fang Yi touched her nose.

This small action made the paused time start to flow again. After realizing this, the young lady really couldn’t hold it in. The more she looked at her, the cuter she was. She held the bouquet and laughed like a silver bell.

The evening wind howled outside the window. In the darkness, it was unknown whether the pursuers or the allies would catch up first, but the young lady’s crisp laughter made the sense of crisis very faint, and it dispersed like the kitchen smoke in a field.

Elara asked reservedly, “Where are we going?”

“The hospital,” Fang Yi replied. “Can you go a little faster?”

Her gaze was always on the small red dots on the young lady’s neck. It was an allergic rash.

Elara shook her head. The pointer on the dashboard was already at its maximum, and she reminded softly, “Lily of the valley is poisonous. Don’t touch your skin.”

Lin Shuxing tilted her head and looked at her curiously. “You know?”

“…” Elara didn’t speak anymore.

Lin Shuxing held the bouquet and did not let go. Instead, she smiled more and more happily, mixed with a low cough, and suddenly asked, “Fang Yi, do you know the flower language of the lily of the valley?”

Before Fang Yi could look back, the young lady had already answered herself, “It is, happiness returns.”

She slowly hummed a song, which was intermittent from her cough, but she still kept the beat, and her pleasant voice became softer and softer.

The car stopped briefly by the roadside. Elara, who had been asked to switch to the passenger seat, had just prepared to open the car door, but the car had already flown out like an arrow from a bowstring.

Elara: “…”

She had also been deceived.

The nearest top-tier hospital was still crowded even in the middle of the night. While waiting for the test results, Fang Yi had successfully gotten a rare single room for her “younger sister” by crying with a blank expression. In this unfamiliar place, playing the victim was shameful but useful.

The young lady leaned against the not-so-soft pillow, drowsy. The strength that had erupted in the car just now seemed to have used up all her energy. At this moment, she was whimpering that her legs were sore, so Fang Yi sat by the bed and slowly massaged them for her.

The little nurse who had helped them to change rooms suddenly rushed in and asked Fang Yi to answer the fixed-line phone in the department.

Fang Yi hesitated for a moment and whispered to Lin Shuxing to lock the door first when she was alone.

Who would look for her through the hospital’s number?

This answer almost didn’t need much thought. After Fang Yi had said “hello,” Jiang Gui’s furious voice immediately came from the other side. “Fang Yi, now, immediately, right now, leave the hospital!”

The uneasy feeling all the way had finally solidified at this moment. Fang Yi asked in a deep voice, “What’s wrong?”

Jiang Gui cursed. “Lin Shuxing’s information has entered the archives and has been matched! She is the head of the family’s daughter. Before today, she had never entered a public database. You’re screwed!”

“The Li family’s power transfer has always been unstable. Do you know how many people want her to die? Tonight, no, in ten minutes, you’d better find a way to live until dawn. Don’t trust anyone, including Wang Quan. The Wang family is on Li Xianqing’s side.”

Fang Yi was silent for a moment. The worry that had been floating in the air fell heavily. This thunderous news exploded at this moment, but it did not cause any ripples in her dark eyes.

She suddenly remembered that Lin Lan had said more than once that she should not let Lin Shuxing leave the Lin family’s territory, and that the outside world was very dangerous.

“I know.” Fang Yi held the phone tightly. “I’ll take her home.”

She said it very calmly, as if she were a student riding a bicycle to take a girl she liked home. Perhaps there was not even a bicycle, just a slow walk in the evening wind.

“Home?? Are you crazy? Come to the military. Find Xia Wenzhou. This is your only chance! Dog-headed Chen has already set off—”

“Alright,” Fang Yi replied crisply, and hung up the phone in a flash, leaving only a piercing blind tone.

She couldn’t trust anyone, including Xia Wenzhou. Seeing Xia Wenzhou and Zong Heng at loggerheads, the relationship between the leader and that head of the family should not be very good.

She had to take her home.

Fang Yi turned around and quickly washed her face and hands with cold water in the restroom.

When she returned, Lin Shuxing had indeed obediently locked the door as she had instructed. With her hands behind her back, she smiled and raised her hand to wipe the water droplets that were rolling down her cheeks.

When she smiled, there was always a carefree flamboyance, and her light-colored eyes seemed not to care about anything.

Fang Yi said, “We have to go.”

“Alright,” the young lady didn’t ask much, just lightly held the bouquet by the bed in her arms and touched it with great affection.

Fang Yi took out a gun she had taken from Elara, pressed it into Lin Shuxing’s hand, and said in a low voice, “When you walk out this door, many people will want to kill you—”

Before she could finish, the young lady had already raised that overly beautiful face, and her chin pointed. “So what?”

Her lip color was still very pale because of her illness, but the unique arrogance of a young person made her full lips also have some sharp edges. Her red, scattered hair was draped over her neck, even more passionate than the brilliant bouquet in her arms.

The young lady’s eyes curved cunningly. She licked her lips and held out her hand to Fang Yi with a smile. “You’ll be with me, right?”

Fang Yi didn’t speak, but took out a necklace from her clothes, untied the plain ring that was tied to it, and still wrapped in her body temperature, she slowly put it on the young lady’s fair hand.

“This is…?”

Lin Shuxing blinked and immediately recognized it. This was the first one she had given to Fang Yi, the one that had lost its diamond in the car accident.

She had returned the diamond, but had secretly kept this worthless silver ring.

The woman bent down, and the cool water droplets pressed against their cheeks. Their noses gently touched, and their hot breaths intertwined. Her soft lips caressed and murmured softly:

“I love you.”
