Before I could take in what I was seeing, he took me by the hand and ran with me back into the forest. After being sure that we weren't followed and no one spotted us, he turned and looked at me but before he could speak, I beat him to it.
"What are you doing here Lu Jinho?"
"I should be asking you that question. You should have at least told me about this don't you think?"
He was right but I wasn't wrong either. I just didn't want him getting hurt besides he wasn't even talking to me.
"Well, it's not my fault you've been avoiding me like a plague".
Lu Jinho didn't say anything, he just kept looking at her. She was right, for a while he has been trying his best to avoid her but it wasn't because he wanted to its because he felt he had to.
"I'm sorry".
I wasn't expecting him to apologize so I looked at him with the speed of light.
"Huhh?"
"I shouldn't have put you at arm's length that way, I would have known about this immediately. It'll never happen again I promise".
I didn't know if I should be happy or confused. All I know is we have to get out of this situation fast.
"Enough with the sub-stories, how are we going to get them?"
"I already have them surrounded, I'm just waiting for the perfect moment to strike".
I have to say, I was pretty impressed.
"Wait, how did you know about this?"
"I guess your tiger is pretty smart".
'Jagi brought him here? Does that mean he knows Jagi can talk? Aishhh that won't be good'.
"Ahh!!!"
We heard a scream and looked in its direction.
"The caught Joo Ah! I have to go back there".
I was about to leave when he held me and pulled me back down.
"If you go there now, there's no telling what would happen to you and your friend. You can't be careless about this".
I wasn't listening to a word he was saying all I was hearing right now was how Joo Ah was screaming in pain as they hit her with woods and irons.
If there was one thing I knew about her is that she was very strong but she feared humans.
'She must be terrified out of her witts right now'.
"Go get your men ready".
After I said this, I pushed his hand away and rushed towards her. I took two little daggers from my back pocket and when I got behind the first guy I could attack, I slit his throat. After that, my cover was blown so they left the bleeding and bruised Joo Ah and charged toward me.
I took the first second and third guy with ease so much that it was looking like they were intentionally going easy on me.
"Well too bad for you, because I won't go easy on you".
The next guy who charged toward me tried attacking for about two minutes but after playing with him, I pushed him to the floor and pounced on him stabbing him with my dagger everywhere that was visible.
Men kept coming, some of them tried to take Joo Ah while some kept coming for me but I didn't let either of them have their way.
"Hey! Are you gonna stay there like a scaredy cat or are you gonna help me beat these guys?"
She still looked pretty scared so I didn't ask for help anymore but just when I thought I had everything under control, I heard a gunshot and immediately after that, the pain rushed in.
"Uhhh".
Li Wei kept looking at me from a distance with a gun in his hand.
"I should have killed you a long time ago".
He said and spat on the floor in disgust.
Fortunately, it was just my hand and I wasn't planning on giving up now.
"Shin Suri!!"
I heard Joo Ah calling me but I was still trying to get used to the pain a little bit. Just when Li Wei was about to shoot again, someone shot him right in the belly, and that caused him to drop his gun while holding his tummy in pain.
Lu Jinho's men began raiding the place and while they were at it, some other guy had come and picked Li Wei trying to escape so I went after them.
Joo Ah didn't understand why Shin Suri would still follow them when she was this hurt but she wanted to make sure that nothing else happens to her.
Lu Jinho heard when the gun was fired but he didn't know who got shot. When he got there, he saw Shin Suri kneeling on the floor and in rage, he shot a bullet at Li Wei. But soon, he realized she was following them into the forest so he rushed towards them as well and so did Yu Han and Yu Lei.
While running towards them, some men attacked me. I was able to fight some but others, I tried my best to avoid. After a while, I realized they had gone underground and I followed them when we got to the other side, I saw a runaway vehicle, and Ju Min was already in it.
My hand was hurting real bad and running wasn't helping either but I couldn't let them leave just like that. I brought out my gun and shot down the guy who was helping Li Wei. In the process, Li Wei fell to the ground with the guy.
He tried standing up but I shot his leg.
"No!!"
It was Ju Min who screamed I raised my head to look at her and her reaction made me lick my lips. It was obvious I succeeded in making her scared. I ran towards the injured Li Wei and pounded on him using my uninjured hand, I looked him in the eyes and stabbed him right in the chest.
"I hope you never forget my face, Li Wei".
He was coughing out blood and that was satisfying.
"I...I wi..ki... uhh!"
I took out the dagger and stabbed him again this time, I did it repeatedly till I was very sure he wasn't breathing.
Lu Jinho and Joo Ah kept looking at her. Lu Jinho was surprised to see that she was this strong and though he liked it, he was still worried about her getting hurt. Joo Ah on the other hand couldn't stop admiring her. She thought she had to protect her but it turns out that it was her who needed to be protected.
Yu Han already knew the lady boss was strong but now he knew she was more than that. Yu Lei didn't look too impressed, as a matter of fact, he looked worried.
The runaway vehicle took off and Lu Jinho's men chased it while Lu Jinho took Shin Suri back to the mansion.
"What were you thinking? You shouldn't have gone after him like that".
"You can just say thank you and everyone will be mmm!"
Lu Jinho couldn't keep it anymore so he took her lips and pressed them onto his.
