Chapter 172 Sour
Her words were tinged with tears, and she was obviously frightened by the scene in her mind.
Hearing Qiao Jin's words, Fu Yanlin smiled slightly. Although his smile was gentle, it was full of determination and courage: "Do you think I'm afraid of death?"
This simple sentence contains his attitude towards death and his deep sense of responsibility towards Qiao Jin.
"But if it's really because of me..."
Before Qiao Jin finished speaking, Fu Yanlin interrupted her. He stared into her eyes with a firm gaze, "Qiao Jin, even if I really die for you, I am willing."
This promise was like a warm light that penetrated the dark corners of her heart.
"Besides, I won't let you get hurt in front of me."
His expression was very serious when he said this, and each word sounded sonorous and powerful as if he had used all his strength.
He was not only telling Qiao Jin, but also making a promise to himself.
As soon as these words came out, Qiao Jin couldn't hold back any longer and a tear rolled down the corner of her eye.
Crystal clear tears silently slid down her cheeks and dripped onto Fu Yanlin's face.
At this moment, her heart seemed to be touched; her heartbeat quickened and her emotions grew rapidly, like bamboo shoots after rain, sprouting outward uncontrollably.
Qiao Jin's tears dripped onto Fu Yanlin's face. He frowned and reached out to gently wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
Fu Yanlin's voice was hoarse and magnetic: "It's okay, Qiao Jin, I won't let you fall into any danger again."
He conveyed the meaning of protection through actions and words, making people feel extremely at ease.
This time, both Zhang Chi and Jiang Wen touched his bottom line!
Their behavior has seriously violated his principles and is unbearable.
Fu Yanlin kept all of this firmly in mind.
Today, the superiors attach unprecedented importance to the rule of law in society and will never allow such criminals to go unpunished.
Qiao Jin bit her lip and said, "This time it's not because of you. I accidentally fell into the trap myself."
She felt guilty and blamed herself for her carelessness.
Women’s weakness often inspires people’s sympathy, but Qiao Jin forgot that she is also a weak woman.
She has a strong and independent character, and always unconsciously ignores her own fragility.
While she sympathized with the woman, she didn't know that the woman was actually using her as a substitute to pave the way for her own future.
Qiao Jin's kindness became a tool for others to use.
If Qiao Jin had not gone to Old Man Li's house, she might have joined up with Team 214 earlier and would not have been brought to Jiang Wen.
It was this accidental choice that put her in crisis.
On second thought, this also indirectly helped the people in Congjia Village.
Otherwise, Jiang Wen would have been prepared to take everyone with him to death.
Qiao Jin's move inadvertently disrupted Jiang Wen's plan and gave the villagers more opportunities to escape.
After coming to her senses, Qiao Jin pushed Fu Yanlin and tried to sit up from him. Fu Yanlin did not stop her, but pulled her up together.
There is no need for words to describe the tacit understanding between the two; just a glance is enough to make it clear.
Qiao Jin looked up and saw the flames in the distance were still rushing towards the sky, illuminating the darkness.
She calmed herself down and asked, "Have all the people from the village been rescued?"
There was a hint of anxiety and worry in his voice.
Fu Yanlin nodded: "Cong Lefei has been arrested, and the young women imprisoned by Jiang Wen have been taken back home by the villagers. Although Jiang Wen and others abandoned the car and fled, they can't escape with the help of air rescue."
His words gave Qiao Jin a little comfort.
After hearing these words, Qiao Jin lowered his eyes, and a sharp look flashed in his eyes.
Although the task was difficult, we finally achieved the expected results.
"As long as the mission is completed, this is my first mission and I don't want to have any regrets."
Qiao Jin said firmly.
However, this first mission was so thrilling that he almost lost his life.
She took a deep breath, trying to calm the lingering fear in her heart.
When Fu Yanlin helped Qiao Jin to stand up, he was surprised to find that Fu Yanlin's back was stained with blood!
Seeing this scene, Qiao Jin was stunned and hurriedly walked behind Fu Yanlin to check: "What's going on behind you? Why is there so much blood!"
She looked down and saw that all the hunting traps scattered on the ground were stuck in Fu Yanlin's back.
Qiao Jin's heart suddenly tightened and his face turned pale.
She had been on Fu Yanlin's back for so long just now, but he didn't say a word?
Just endure the pain silently?
How could he be so stupid!
The wound was not that serious originally, but now that these traps have pierced the skin and flesh, there must be many bloody holes on the back, and the pain is even more intense.
After taking a deep breath, Qiao Jin's face became even uglier, and a hint of red appeared in his eyes.
"Fu Yanlin, why don't you cry out in pain? How can you endure this pain?"
Seeing her eagerness and worry, Fu Yanlin raised his eyebrows slightly, his voice still low but powerful: "I will remember it next time."
"No matter how good your physique is, you shouldn't abuse yourself in this way!"
Qiao Jin said with heartache.
However, Qiao Jin didn't have anything on her that could be used to treat Fu Yanlin, so she had to go back to the camp to get medical supplies.
So, Qiao Jin began to support Fu Yanlin carefully.
Seeing this, Fu Yanlin looked at her with a teasing look and said, "Why are you helping me? My leg isn't injured, it's my back. You don't need help."
Hearing what he said, Qiao Jin replied somewhat embarrassedly: "I just feel bad that you suffered so much to save me. I think I can at least help you a little so that you don't feel too bad."
Fu Yanlin's thin lips tightened, and his tone was firm, "I like you, Qiao Jin. You don't have to feel any guilt, I know it in my heart. This is what I am willing to do."
This sudden remark surprised Qiao Jin so much that she almost collapsed to the ground. She looked at the other person in disbelief, her heartbeat seeming to stop for a moment. "You just... said it out loud?"
There was confusion and shock in her eyes, as if she had not yet fully understood the fact before her.
Staring into her eyes, Fu Yanlin replied: "What's so difficult about this?"
His tone was full of determination, "Aren't the words spoken after life and death more sincere?"
His words were like a sharp blade, cutting through all pretense and concerns.
However, he added: "But I don't force you to respond now."
His eyes became softer, as if he was afraid of bringing more pressure to her. "If you are willing to accept my feelings, I will give them to you. If you don't want them, I will just leave them here."
There was a hint of unquestionable determination in his tone, but also a hint of tenderness.
Hearing this, Qiao Jin's heart was filled with ups and downs again. A sour feeling rose up in her throat. She wanted to say something but didn't know what to say.
