Chapter 94

This food delivery rider looked very ordinary, the kind of person you would forget as soon as you saw them in a crowd.

He wore a cap, a yellow vest, and a pair of black sneakers, no different from the food delivery riders we usually see in our daily lives, as ordinary as could be.

Who would have thought that this guy would turn out to be a killer?

While thanking Lin Jingzhi, he bent down to pick up the food box from Lin Jingzhi's hand. Suddenly, a sharp dagger slipped out from his right sleeve and stabbed towards Lin Jingzhi's heart.

He intended to kill with one strike.

He seemed very confident in his move, so when the dagger was thrust out, a hint of satisfaction appeared at the corner of his mouth.

But this small action was caught by Ye Qi's sharp eyes.

A food delivery rider who had just fallen, which should be a very unlucky thing, how could he show a look of satisfaction?

This was too abnormal.

Ye Qi's eyes then fell on the rider's hand, where he saw the dagger.

"Be careful!"

Ye Qi shouted, using both hands to pull back forcefully. The wheelchair slid backward, taking Lin Jingzhi away from the fatal strike.

However, after the first strike missed, the killer took two steps forward and stabbed again at Lin Jingzhi's throat.

He was determined to kill his target or die trying.

At this critical moment, Ye Qi reacted quickly.

He extended his right arm to block the dagger.

"Swish!"

The dagger pierced the skin.

Instantly, Ye Qi's right arm was covered in blood.

The killer was surprised that someone would block his dagger in this way, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

Taking this opportunity, Ye Qi stepped forward, shielding Lin Jingzhi behind him, and threw a punch.

The killer crouched down to dodge Ye Qi's punch, then did a few backflips and jumped into the lake below the bridge, disappearing without a trace.

Ye Qi did not chase after him.

He was worried that this was a deliberate move by the killer to lure him away, and then another killer would come to kill Lin Jingzhi.

However, Ye Qi did not intend to let this killer off so easily.

After the killer jumped into the lake, he quickly used a tracking talisman, and a wisp of black gas appeared, darting into the lake.

Only then did Lin Jingzhi see the blood on Ye Qi's right arm and ask in panic, "Ye Qi, are you okay?"

"I'm fine," Ye Qi said with a smile. "This killer is quite cunning, disguising himself as a food delivery rider. He almost succeeded."

"Let's not worry about him now. I'll take you to the hospital," Lin Jingzhi said urgently.

"Why go to the hospital? I'm a doctor myself."

Ye Qi glanced at the blood flowing down his arm, which had turned his entire hand red.

"No, your injury is too severe. I'll take you to the hospital," Lin Jingzhi said, taking out her phone to call for help.

"Really, I'm fine. It's just a minor flesh wound. I can heal it myself," Ye Qi said, drawing a blood-stopping talisman on the spot.

Soon, the bleeding stopped.

"See? I told you I'm fine," Ye Qi said with a smile.

Lin Jingzhi examined carefully and found that Ye Qi's arm was no longer bleeding. She suddenly said sternly, "Go home."

Back at the villa.

Lin Jingzhi took out a first-aid kit and pointed to the sofa, saying in a commanding tone, "Sit down."

After Ye Qi sat down, Lin Jingzhi gently wiped the blood off his hand and, upon closer inspection, found that the wound had disappeared, her face full of surprise. "It healed so quickly?"

"Of course, I told you I'm fine."

Lin Jingzhi then remembered that Ye Qi knew the Mount Mao talismans and sighed in relief, saying gratefully, "Ye Qi, thank you."

"You don't need to be so formal with me," Ye Qi said, concerned. "Lin, were you scared just now?"

"I was scared when I saw your hand covered in blood," Lin Jingzhi said, looking straight at Ye Qi. "Why did you save me just now?"

Ye Qi smiled. "I'm a man, and a man's duty is to protect women."

"Is that all?" Lin Jingzhi didn't believe him.

Ye Qi then told the truth. "Lin, you are someone I... respect very much. I can't bear to see you hurt."

He originally wanted to say, "You are someone I like very much," but he was afraid it would upset Lin Jingzhi, so he said, "You are someone I respect very much."

Lin Jingzhi looked deeply at Ye Qi, as if trying to see through him.

Ye Qi quickly changed the subject. "Lin, the rider's movements were very skilled, clearly a professional killer."

"Right," Lin Jingzhi nodded slightly, agreeing with him.

"Do you know who wants to kill you?"

Lin Jingzhi shook her head. "I don't know."

"Let me investigate this," Ye Qi said. "Jiangzhou is under my management now, and I have thousands of men under me. It shouldn't be hard to find a killer."

"No need to investigate," Lin Jingzhi said.

Ye Qi was taken aback. "Why not?"

"These years, I've made enemies with many people, but I know those people. They don't have the courage to kill me. The ones who truly have the courage are only a few."

"Are you talking about Qian Yanru?"

"Qian Yanru is one of them. She has always blamed me for Qian Dong's death and wants to see me dead," Lin Jingzhi said, then added, "But Xiao Qingdi is more likely, because I crippled his leg."

This is a mortal enemy. If it were Ye Qi, he would seek revenge too.

"Anyway, be more careful in the future and hire more bodyguards," Ye Qi advised.

"Don't worry. Even if they want to kill me, it won't be easy. Besides, you will always protect me, right?"

Lin Jingzhi blinked her big eyes, looking extremely alluring.

"Right," Ye Qi nodded.

Lin Jingzhi continued, "I'm tired. Carry me upstairs to rest."

"Okay."

Ye Qi carried Lin Jingzhi to her room. Just as he was about to get up after placing her on the bed, Lin Jingzhi grabbed his sleeve.

"Lin, what are you doing?" Ye Qi asked, puzzled.

"Do you like me?" Lin Jingzhi asked.

Ye Qi hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.

"Then swear to me that you will be good to me for the rest of your life."

"Lin, what's wrong?"

"Swear!"

Ye Qi didn't know what Lin Jingzhi meant, so he said, "I swear, if the sky collapses, I will bear it on my shoulders for you; if the earth sinks, I will give my life to protect you. No matter how the world changes, I will always be by your side."

"That's better," Lin Jingzhi suddenly wrapped her arm around Ye Qi's neck and whispered in his ear, "Do you want to exercise?"
