Chapter 204: The Little Bodyguard
A cold glint flashed across Song Qingzhou’s eyes.
“These people are all good at inciting hatred. Although we don’t know where their hatred comes from, hatred is often the easiest to gather and bewitch people’s hearts. If any of these people escape, who knows what kind of trouble will arise. Now it’s the New Year, and we can’t afford any chaos.”
Xiao Shun shrugged his shoulders. “Alright then.”
Soon, they saw more than ten vehicles passing by in a mighty procession.
“Let’s go.”
After Song Qingzhou spoke to the driver in front, the car was soon started and suddenly shot forward, closely following the convoy.
A few minutes later, the car came to a halt.
Under the cover of night, Xiao Shun could still clearly see the surroundings. Dozens of agile men in black jumped out of the vehicles in front, their movements swift and clean, as they quickly ran towards a nearby residence.
It felt like an arrest of criminals, no, it should be something even more solemn and serious than that.
“I’ll go help.” Xiao Shun knew what he was supposed to do on this trip. Without waiting for Song Qingzhou to speak, he opened the car door, jumped out, and plunged into the crowd of people, moving forward with them.
“Surround them, surround them!”
“Don’t let any of them escape!”
As a series of shouts echoed, the courtyard gate was kicked open, and panicked cries immediately came from within.
“Don’t move!”
“Hands on your head!”
When Xiao Shun entered the gate, he saw more than ten people wearing black hooded robes huddled together, seemingly frightened and at a loss. They slowly crouched down and obediently placed their hands behind their heads.
Xiao Shun was puzzled. These people didn’t resist and seemed to have no guard up at all.
Were these ragtag group of people really worth such grand efforts from Mr. Song?
While pondering, two shadows suddenly flashed across the roof. After two consecutive leaps, they disappeared from sight.
Without a word, Xiao Shun stomped his foot, soared into the air, and landed gracefully on the roof.
Looking around, he quickly spotted the two figures from earlier, leaping and bounding across the rooftops of nearby houses, rapidly fleeing into the distance. From their movements, it was clear they were cultivators.
Determined to fulfill his duty, Xiao Shun wasted no time. His body flashed like a shadow in the night as he chased after the two figures.
“Miss, someone is chasing us. I’ll hold him off.”
“Be careful, and try not to hurt anyone.”
As Xiao Shun closed in on the two figures, he heard their crisp conversation. A slight smirk appeared on his face – they didn’t seem like extremely wicked people after all.Belongs to © n0velDrama.Org.
However, their words irritated him. What did they mean by “don’t hurt anyone”? They would have to have the opportunity to hurt anyone first.
In a few leaps and bounds, Xiao Shun quickly closed the gap. Just as he was about 20 meters away, a petite figure suddenly turned back and launched a leg whip with a fierce gust of wind.
Xiao Shun leaned back just in time to dodge the attack, and, in one smooth motion, grabbed the petite figure under his arm. Without slowing down, he continued to pursue the fleeing figure. His body now bore an extra hundred pounds or so, but his speed didn’t diminish.
As the wind howled in their ears and the dim scenery flashed by, the petite figure seemed to realize what had happened after a few seconds. This guy was strong – he had effortlessly dodged her leg whip, and now…
“Let go of me, you pervert!”
“You’re so weak, yet you dare to be a bodyguard? Aren’t you afraid of dying?” From their earlier conversation, Xiao Shun could tell that the two were master and servant.
“Scoundrel, let go of me!”
“Tell me your name, and I’ll put you down.”
“You’re asking for it!”
“You’re still stubborn even in this situation? Don’t make me drop you.”
“@%&$…#%&$…” The little bodyguard chattered angrily while struggling to break free.
Xiao Shun ignored her struggles, focusing on the chase.
In just a few moments, the figure in front suddenly stopped, most likely realizing escape was futile, and, out of helplessness, knowing her companion had been captured.
Xiao Shun arrived in front of her in the blink of an eye, and immediately smelled a faint fragrance emanating from her body.
“Who are you? Let her go!”
Although she was wearing a black cloak, he could still vaguely make out her delicate figure. Her face was covered with a black veil, her beautiful eyes shining like stars.
Xiao Shun smiled and released the small bodyguard he had been holding under his arm, not at all worried that they could escape.
“Miss, it’s my fault…” The small bodyguard hurried to the figure’s side and blamed herself.
“Don’t you know who I am? I’m curious who you are. Why aren’t you home for the New Year, and what are you doing so secretively?” asked Xiao Shun.
“I can give you money. Just let us go.”
“Letting you go is fine, but I don’t want money. You have to tell me what you’re doing and where.” Xiao Shun was curious. He felt that Song Qingzhou’s information might be wrong, as these people didn’t seem like the fanatical religious believers he had imagined.
“We are members of an animal protection organization, praying for the animals that died at the hands of humans this year.”
The figure hesitated for a moment before answering. Xiao Shun was not sure what kind of organization she was talking about, but it didn’t sound like something unforgivable. It also didn’t seem as serious as Song Qingzhou had described. He suspected that Song Qingzhou’s information was more likely to be incorrect.
“In that case, why did you run away?” asked Xiao Shun suspiciously.
“Are you kidding? A group of fierce-looking people suddenly broke in. Who knows who they are? Our Miss has a noble status, so of course we had to run.” The young girl who had been held by Xiao Shun earlier said.
Xiao Shun could see that they were a master and a servant. He smiled faintly and said, “Your bodyguard is too weak and talks too much. You should replace her.”
“You?!”
“Le Wen, forget it. So, can you let us go now?” The young lady stopped her bodyguard from speaking further.
“I’ve been chasing you for so long. At least let me see what you look like,” said Xiao Shun with a serious expression.
Xiao Shun’s words, purely out of curiosity, sounded extremely frivolous to Tang Shishi. She clenched her teeth, her beautiful eyes flashing with coldness.
“You pervert!” scolded the girl called Le Wen.
The young lady held Le Wen back and slowly removed her veil…
When Xiao Shun returned, the large group had already disbanded, and those in black cloaks had apparently been taken away.
Song Qingzhou was standing by the car, smoking, the cigarette visible in the darkness.
Seeing Xiao Shun coming back alone, he threw the cigarette on the ground, extinguished it with his foot, and said with some surprise, “You didn’t catch them?”
He was shocked, as it wasn’t easy to escape Xiao Shun.
