Chapter 302 - Rescue (II) (1/2)

Linfeng mentally locked down on the man who stood tensed at the side. If he ever took a step outside the room, he would instantly know.

He took off his coat and wrapped it around his Young Miss's trembling body. Killing intent was silently surging beneath his façade.

He took a deep breath. His Young Miss needed a stable pillar right now to anchor herself, a person that could reassure her. He forcefully calmed himself down.

Xiong Zhi painfully opened her eyes, and her blurry gaze slowly cleared out.

The first thing she saw was Linfeng's face.

His face appeared calm, yet she could see the turbulent bottomless pit in his dark eyes.

It was a very familiar sight. This was the same look he had on his face when he finally came to her rescue in the past life.

Her nose soured and her eyes blurred again.

He came late in the past life.

In this life, fortunately...

Teardrops fell from her eyes. It was as if all her grievances were finally out in the open, being poured out. Sobs echoed from her throat.

”Linfeng...”

Linfeng's heart constricted painfully at her suppressed sobs. Guilt, remorse, self-blame, and an overwhelming stabbing pain intertwined within him as he wiped Xiong Zhi's tears.

He was able to stop the worst, but he knew that the harm was already done. This was a trauma that could never be erased.

He felt a numbing pain in his heart as he watched her weep. His most beloved girl must be feeling much, much worse than he could ever imagine.

His nose felt astringent. He could only try to comfort her.

Linfeng patted her back. ”You are safe now, Zhi'er. I'm here now. I've come. You're safe now,” he whispered as calmly, lovingly, and gently as he could.

Xiong Zhi's anxious heart slowly slowed down. Her sobs also finally died down.

At this time, the bearded man holding the camera glanced at the door. He should take this chance to escape. He silently raised his foot.

Xiong Zhi raised her head, her eyes red. ”Linfeng... I want them dead.”

The madness in her heart had not yet died down. It only burned hotter.

Kill them!

”As you wish, my Young Miss.” Linfeng's eyes darkened as he answered. He kissed her forehead. After reassuring her, he vanished.

In a blur, he arrived right before the man who was silently escaping.

Without a word, he clenched his fist and immediately punched the man at his gut.

”Argh!” The man was caught unprepared. His body curved in the air.

In a split second, Linfeng took one step behind him and swung his elbow at his back.

”Hnn!” Excruciating pain spread for a moment, and then numbness. The man fell limply.

Linfeng caught the collar of his shirt and dragged him towards Xiong Zhi who had remained sitting on the ground with Linfeng's coat around her shoulders.
