255 That Bulle (2/2)

…

The ropes around her wrists and her legs were cut open. Xia Shiyu watched the girl fluidly inserting the dagger back around her wrist. She gulped and then spoke with a trembling voice, ”Who, who are you?”

Since her vision had yet to completely recover, she couldn't clearly make out the girl’s face. She could only determine from the graceful outline that the girl must be stunning.

”Ayesha, Jiang Chen’s bodyguard.”

Since Ayesha thought they would be ”working together” in the future, there was nothing to hide… So Ayesha only hesitated for half a second before giving her name out.

Xia Shiyu would undoubtedly have a bewildered expression if she knew Ayesha’s thought.

”Bodyguard?” Xia Shiyu never knew Jiang Chen had a bodyguard before, so she could not help but to feel puzzled.

”Mhmm. We met in Iraq,” Ayesha answered concisely.

Iraq?

Xia Shiyu had some memory of Jiang Chen’s visit there. She was still perplexed to this day why he went there.

[ Who are these kidnappers? They seemed to have kidnapped me with Jiang Chen as their intention… ]

What was surprising was that even if she experienced such a horrific event purely because of Jiang Chen, in her heart, she didn’t blame him at all.

[ In other people’s eyes, I’m already someone important to him… ] Xia Shiyu’s heart began to beat faster.

The only thing that made her slightly disappointed was that Jiang Chen wasn't the one who showed up.

But it made sense as she could not imagine Jiang Chen coming to her rescue with a gun.

The people who kidnapped her were not ordinary thugs, but fully equipped soldiers. In her memory, Jiang Chen might be a good fighter, but he was nowhere strong enough to contend against elite agents.

[ Why would foreign agents be interested in Jiang Chen anyways? Because of Future Technology? But Future Technology is only a private enterprise, why would the foreign agents be interested? ]

Xia Shiyu had no knowledge of Jiang Chen's involvement in Dragon II, so she thought it was reasonable. Although Zhongxin High Tech had negotiated with Future Technology, she didn’t know the specifics of the agreement since it was Jiang Chen who was responsible for the negotiation.

However, she had a feeling it might have something to do with that project.

”I will take you out of this place first, let’s talk in the car.” Ayesha’s voice interrupted her thought.

Jiang Chen would be here to clean up the scene in a bit, so it was better to take Xia Shiyu out of the place first.

”Mhmm.” Xia Shiyu gulped and nodded.

With how anxious she looked, Ayesha’s expressionless face turned into a smile. She comforted her gently:

”Don’t panic, they are all dead.”

[ Eh, she is panicking more? ]

Ayesha tilted her head, perplexed, while she looked at the shaking Xia Shiyu.

[ Whatever, let’s get out of this place first. ]

Shaking her head, Ayesha extended her hand to Xia Shiyu on the ground with care.

”If you can’t see, you can hold my hand.”

Although Xia Shiyu was still terrified, she took a deep breath as she did her best to control the fear in her mind. She extended her hand while shaking and held onto the small hand.

But all of the sudden, Ayesha was alarmed and, almost instinctively, she shoved Xia Shiyu away.

Bang!

At that moment, a bullet penetrated through the window and struck her on the chest.
