Chapter 565 - 576 I am the First
The remaining thug, seeing that eight of his comrades had died and their leader had jumped into the sea to escape, lost all will to fight and also wanted to make a run for it by jumping into the water.
He and Lin Qiong were evenly matched to begin with, and having been caught off guard by her sneak attack at the start and sustaining some injuries, he had been at a disadvantage throughout. Now, utterly devoid of fighting spirit, he fared even worse. Just as he tried to turn and jump into the sea, Lin Qiong’s leg whip crashed into his thigh, sending him thudding down onto the deck. Lin Qiong’s right knee bent as she knelt on the thug’s back, her hands seizing his right arm and twisting it forcefully away, rendering him powerless to struggle.
Killing wasn’t her forte, but incapacitating like this, Lin Qiong was quite adept.
"Hey, you, go catch that boss who ran off!" Having subdued the last thug on the ship, Lin Qiong looked at Li Yifei, who was still standing on the deck, and instantly yelled out, nearly blurting out Li Yifei’s name, though she managed to change it just before it slipped out.
Li Yifei, hands clasped behind his back, looked out to sea and said, "Are you ordering me around?"
If it were the usual Li Yifei, Lin Qiong wouldn’t have minded giving him orders. After all, he was her man. But as Li Yifei was currently in the guise of a mysterious persona and Lin Qiong didn’t want to blow his cover, she of course couldn’t command him. Seeing Li Yifei’s nonchalant stance and how he seemed to be putting on quite a front, Lin Qiong couldn’t help but find it somewhat amusing. The rascal was quite the actor.
Softening her tone, Lin Qiong said, "That guy who fled is the main figure among them; we must catch him or he’ll continue to harm others."
Li Yifei shook his head and said, "I definitely won’t go jumping into the sea for some trash."
Lin Qiong glared at Li Yifei fiercely from behind and said, "How about I beg you? Please catch that guy for me."
"What’s in it for me?" asked Li Yifei, uninterested.
