Wooing my Bodyguard Wife

"I promised you medical attention, but that'll happen after I kill off the rest of your companions. Turn over and let me pull out my knife." Tai Cheng projected an aura of calm, but inside, he was in a whirlpool of panic.

"What? But you said - " Feng Yi protested, before quailing at the murderous look in his eyes.

"The faster I get my knife, the faster I can get rid of your companions and call you and your friend an ambulance. So turn around, now."

Feng Yi trembled; he didn't want the rest of his team to die, but if it came down to his and Nan Yao's life versus the rest, he'd pick the former over the latter! A sense of shame crept on him, but he turned around obediently.

Tai Cheng pulled out the blade in one quick motion, and Feng Yi bowled over on the concrete pavement, every nerve in his back screaming in pain. He felt the hot rush of blood flooding through his clothes, and he wanted to weep at how his life turned out.

It was supposed to be a simple job - just torch a restaurant and kidnap a stupid rich couple when they were visiting their in-laws, but how had it ended up with him having to pull out a literal knife embedded in his back?!

"Don't worry, you won't be paralysed. The knife didn't strike your spine," Tai Cheng said reassuringly. "Now lie down face first and keep breathing evenly to slow your heart rate. I'll be back after disposing of your teammates."

Both Nan Yao and Feng Yi whimpered at his words. Tai Cheng even patted Nan Yao on the shoulder before he got up and rushed towards Jingwei, who was… doing his best impression of a drunkard at karaoke? What on earth?

"Jingwei, what are you doing? Stop playing around with him, we have to go now!" Tai Cheng demanded, gazing imperiously down at him. Jingwei looked up and his mouth fell open in shock. Li Tai Cheng's T-shirt and shorts were splattered with blood! In his hands were his two knives, whose blades were now red and wet.

Jingwei got up immediately and began fussing over Xue Ning's father, trying to look for injuries.

"Uncle! Are you hurt? Oh my god we need to call an ambulance!" Jingwei exclaimed, nearly crying as he mentally scolded himself. Why hadn't he gone with him to handle the two men? Uncle was so old, he definitely got hurt when dealing with them! He should have shielded Uncle with his own body!

"We don't have any ambulances here," Tai Cheng said. "But you don't have to worry, the blood isn't mine. It belongs to the two fools lying over there."

Jingwei peered past Tai Cheng's body to see two bodies still slumped on the floor. His nostrils twitched at the strong smell of blood wafting through the air as he shuddered, somehow feeling scared.

Xue Ning's father wouldn't hurt him, but Jingwei was beginning to realise this man in front of him probably had a body count. He didn't want to think too much about it, or add to it in any way!

"They'll still need a doctor though," Jingwei pointed out, eyeing their prone forms warily. They haven't moved at all. "Along with this man here!"

Said man stared up at him, wanting to make a smart-mouthed remark, but the words immediately died in his mouth as his eyes met Li Tai Cheng's gaze. There was no warmth in them at all, and he hurriedly wrapped a protective arm over his abdomen, just in case Li Tai Cheng decided to finish the job.

"Later, we need to go back to the house now! There's four of them there. They want to kidnap you and Xue Ning." Li Tai Cheng said.

"What?!" Jingwei screamed, the knife in his hand clattering to the floor as the words registered in his head. "Oh my god! Let's go Uncle!"

"Calm down and take your knife!" Tai Cheng scolded, and Jingwei obeyed unthinkingly, his mind clouded with worry. Xue Ning and the rest of the family were still there - and these thugs were out to kidnap her! Jingwei ran straight for the house, not even bothering to check if Uncle was behind him.

'God, please don't let me be too late!' He prayed frantically, his heart sick with anxiousness. 'I can't lose her!'

=====

Back at the house, Xue Ning was ready to shower. She was still feeling sticky after the earlier bout of love-making with Jingwei, and she had to sit through that awkward talk with her mother. How could her mom want her to get married to Jingwei when she was still so young! And all for the sake of money too?

Xue Ning shook her head in annoyance. And then she saw a glint of something from the bushes outside her opened window from the corner of her eye. The bushes shook, as though there was something inside them.

She stared more closely, curious.

But after a while, the bushes remained still. Perhaps it was a stray cat? She shook her head and she decided to go to the bathroom.

The moment she left her room, the bushes shook again, but this time, the cause was clear, for a black-clad man emerged from the bushes, crouching through the grass to reach her window. This black-clad man was Ding Fei, and he was the leader of their operation.

It didn't take much effort to scale the wall to enter her room.

He then signaled to his companion that the coast was clear. Soon, a second man entered her room. With two men, Ding Fei believed that he could easily subdue a single woman.

From what he had seen from the window, Li Xue Ning was just an ordinary civilian woman, with a petite height and curvy figure - she definitely wasn't a match for them!

He got the rest of the team to enter the house too; they had to secure Sun Jingwei. But Ding Fei was sure they would be successful, once Li Xue Ning fell into their hands, there was nothing Sun Jingwei wouldn't do to get his wife back!
