The Female Assassin Pretends to Be a Lamb in the Campus

Chapter 237

Huo Jingyue concentrated and asked Qiao Ying worriedly while driving, "Qiao, how is Lawyer Cheng?"

Qiao Ying decisively cut the ropes on Cheng Jinyan's wrists.

She calmly replied while doing so, "Just superficial wounds, he won't die."

She felt Cheng Jinyan's burning forehead, then looked at his infected, ulcerated wounds. Her gaze towards Wuma Liya in the back was murderous.

The dizzy Cheng Jinyan heard Qiao Ying's understatement and smiled wryly as he said with difficulty, "I feel it's quite serious."

Wuma Liya, who had been violently thrown into the car, struggled to get up.

Her gun had fallen out when Cheng Jinyan rushed her to save Huo Jingyue. So she took off the whip from her waist and gripped it, threatening, "Who are you? Let me off the car!"

The cold muzzle of a gun pressed against her forehead.

Wuma Liya looked into the girl's icy eyes.

She heard the gun cock as the girl coldly warned, "Want to live? Shut up."

Wuma Liya closed her mouth and glared fiercely.

The Wuma family had considerable influence in Suriname, and Wuma You was very familiar with the place. But Huo Jingyue was completely unfamiliar, so she drove aimlessly wherever there was a road.

Wuma You's men quickly caught up.

Seeing the five or six cars in the rearview mirror, Huo Jingyue became a little anxious. "They've caught up."

"There's nowhere to hide around here. What do we do now?" she asked Qiao Ying for her opinion.

She also asked, "Qiao, do you have any more explosives?"

Huo Jingyue didn't know where Qiao Ying had gotten those things. But more than wondering where Qiao Ying had gotten them, she was more shocked that Qiao Ying had dared to use them.

That explosion had nearly scared her to death.

And Qiao Ying didn't even warn her first!

She was really too bold. Qiao was indeed deep and unfathomable. No wonder she could befriend Lawyer Cheng, and even Cheng Dong was obedient to her.

Qiao Ying looked at the unrelenting pursuing vehicles in the rearview mirror, then assessed the surroundings. The car had already driven out of the city.

They were in the wilderness now.

With Huo Jingyue's poor driving skills, it was only a matter of time before they got caught.

Qiao Ying stood up and grabbed the steering wheel, getting Huo Jingyue to move to the passenger seat while she leapt into the driver's seat.

"Buckle up."

Taking over the steering wheel, Qiao Ying suddenly yanked it and slammed the brakes, executing a U-turn to decisively ram the rear car.

A huge crash sounded.

The rear car hadn't expected them to suddenly U-turn, and instinctively turned to dodge, only to be rammed over by the off-road vehicle.

The few people in the car were badly injured by the crash.

"Drive ahead and wait for me up front."

With a gun in hand, Qiao Ying got out of the car.

Huo Jingyue came to her senses and worriedly called out to her, "Qiao?"

Huo Jingyue moved back to the driver's seat. Gripping the steering wheel, she was at a loss on what to do when she heard Cheng Jinyan's weak voice.

"...Go ahead and wait for her."

Staying would only drag Qiao Ying down.

Huo Jingyue hesitated before gritting her teeth. She stepped on the accelerator.

After driving a hundred meters, Huo Jingyue stopped the car.

Taking the chance, Wuma Liya got off the car and ran away.

Huo Jingyue didn't even have time to deal with her. Sitting in the driver's seat, she kept turning back to look. After staring back for a few minutes, Huo Jingyue became extremely anxious.

She wanted to go back and find Qiao Ying but was also worried about the injured Cheng Jinyan.

"It's too dangerous for her alone. I have to go back and find her."

After an internal struggle, Huo Jingyue chose to go back and find Qiao Ying as the teacher. She had to go back.

"Lawyer Cheng, your family should have arrived in Suriname too. Drive away first if there's danger, then contact them."

Before Cheng Jinyan could reply, Huo Jingyue got out of the car and ran back.

She hadn't gotten far when she saw Qiao Ying walking towards them.

A piercing shriek tore through the air.

Cheng Jinyan struggled out of the car and staggered in the direction of the sound.

Qiao Ying and Huo Jingyue also rushed over.

Not far away, Wuma Liya sat on the ground covering her ears, shrieking hysterically again and again.

Following Wuma Liya's line of sight, a wild jaguar was feeding―chewing on a corpse.

"Ah― Ah― Ah―"

She kept shrieking as if traumatized, her bulging eyes unable to focus.

It didn't seem like she was acting this time.

Cheng Jinyan found it a bit funny.

These past few days she had casually threatened to mince him up to feed the jaguars, yet she had so little courage? She was probably seeing a jaguar for the first time.

"...Stop screaming."

Cheng Jinyan wanted to remove her hands covering her ears, but no matter how he pulled, he couldn't get them off. Wuma Liya also seemed oblivious to his existence, screaming like a madwoman.

She didn't even care if she screamed her throat hoarse.

Qiao Ying didn't even bother drugging her, directly chopping Wuma Liya's neck to shut her up.

Looking at the finally quiet unconscious Wuma Liya, Cheng Jinyan noticed something off. "What's wrong with her?"

"She probably has some congenital hereditary mental illness, triggered by psychological trauma and stress response," Qiao Ying diagnosed.

Huo Jingyue couldn't help but admire, "Qiao, you're so amazing."

Just two days ago when she had run into Qiao Ying alone, she had still arrogantly claimed she would protect Qiao Ying. She really didn't know her own limits.

Three days later.

Southeast Asia.

Near the Thailand border in Myanmar.

Cheng family residence.

Cheng Jinyan recovered quickly. His fever had gone down and his wounds were all cleaned.

Early morning.

Cheng Jinyan was getting dressed when he heard a knock. "Come in," he said.

The servant brought Huo Jingyue in.

Huo Jingyue held a bowl of simmered Chinese medicinal soup that Qiao Ying had prepared. Seeing Cheng Jinyan getting dressed, her cheeks flushed as her gaze dodged around.

"Lawyer Cheng, you're up."

Cheng Jinyan turned his back to button up. "Ms. Huo, good morning."

The servant left the room.

Huo Jingyue waited as Cheng Jinyan got dressed, put on his glasses, then brought over the medicine. "Lawyer Cheng, the medicine is ready."

Cheng Jinyan took the bowl. "Thank you for the trouble, Ms. Huo."

Cheng Jinyan quickly finished the medicine. Seeing Huo Jingyue take out a tissue to wipe his mouth, he quickly took the tissue himself.

"Ms. Huo, I'll do it myself."

Huo Jingyue: "Alright."

Seeing the shy Huo Jingyue, Cheng Jinyan felt somewhat troubled.

"Ms. Huo, I'm really grateful for your care these days."

Cheng Jinyan sincerely thanked her.

When he had the high fever, Huo Jingyue had taken care of him.

Huo Jingyue waved her hand with a smile. "It's nothing, Lawyer Cheng doesn't need to stand on ceremony."

Cheng Jinyan: "Let's go have breakfast first."

On the way to the dining room, they ran into Qiao Ying.

Cheng Jinyan immediately quickened his pace to walk alongside Qiao Ying and quietly asked, "Where did you get the information? And how did you end up together with Ms. Huo?"

Qiao Ying: "I ran into Kei and she was looking for you too. Your father called Night City."

Cheng Jinyan had been tied up at Kei's place before losing contact.

Qiao Ying had searched around Kei's place and ran into Cheng family members who were also looking for Cheng Jinyan, including Huo Jingyue.

When Huo Jingyue heard Qiao Ying was looking for Cheng Jinyan, she didn't feel assured letting Qiao Ying go alone, so she had Qiao Ying join them.

But Qiao Ying was used to acting alone, and instead worried about Huo Jingyue's safety, so she brought Huo Jingyue along.

Following the trail, Qiao Ying had chased from Kei's place to Suriname.

"All that in such a short time, from Kei's place to Suriname? Only you could manage that." Cheng Jinyan sincerely admired her efforts.

It wasn't just two cities or provinces, but two different countries!

And she had gone alone.

Cheng Jinyan: "What about that Night City bastard? He told you to come while he did what?"

Qiao Ying: "Picking a grave for you, I guess."
