Chapter 2 Unforgettable Arms

The man's face paint had already been washed away by the water, revealing a square and angular face, probably in his mid-twenties, with piercing tiger-like eyes. Although he lacked some of the handsomeness and suavity of the men Su Mengxin normally encountered, he possessed a strong masculine presence. "Let's go!" As soon as Su Mengxin was dressed, the man turned his back to her without waiting for an answer and hoisted her onto his back, striding towards the dense forest. "Why did you tear off my skirt earlier?" Su Mengxin didn't believe this man had any malicious intentions towards her, and she was very puzzled about what happened earlier. "Your clothes floated away in the water earlier, which could have diverted their attention for a moment, giving us a chance to hide." "Oh, then why didn't you take off your own clothes?" "There wasn't time." This explanation left Su Mengxin somewhat speechless, but she really had nothing to complain about. It was a crisis, and she couldn't care less. Thankfully, the man didn't make any unnecessary moves, which considerably eased her mind. "What's your name?" With the assassins no longer in pursuit, Su Mengxin grew curious about the man. Flying Hawk Squad member 002." "I'm asking for your real name." "When we're on a mission, we only have code names." "That's so rigid." Su Mengxin didn't ask any further. She knew a bit about the Flying Hawk Squad—it was one of the several super-special forces units in Huaxia. Each member had extraordinary skills, and they followed orders without question. Even if she continued to ask, he wouldn't answer. "Right, were those from earlier also part of the Flying Hawk Squad? I saw that their skills were much worse than yours." "They weren't. They were just coordinating with me on this mission." "No wonder." Twenty minutes later, they had already run more than a kilometer and were on the verge of victory, but the man suddenly stopped. Su Mengxin remained silent, just holding tightly onto the man's neck. She knew that there must be something wrong. What she could do was to minimize her interference with his movements. As the most beautiful woman in Huaxia, she wasn't just good-looking; she also had a smart brain and a decisive way of handling things. The man's body tensed up, and suddenly he leapt two meters to the side. Just then, gunfire erupted, and where he had been standing was now riddled with bullet holes. "Bang!" A large-caliber handgun in the man's hand burst into flames, and a person plummeted from a tree above them without even a scream, as his head had been blown off by a single shot. "Stay here; don't move. I'll take care of them." "Can you manage it?" "I have to, we've got no way out." The ambush was already set up. Those waiting there might be less skilled than the trackers, but once the gunfire started, the trackers would definitely arrive quickly. He had to finish them off as fast as possible, or there would only be a dead end. "Okay!" Su Mengxin bit her lip. She had no choice but to comply with him. Besides... she had gained considerable confidence in this man. Members of the Flying Hawk Squad were legendary for their formidable strength. She let go of him, and the man dashed into the woods like a cheetah. Gunshots roared, but in less than two minutes, they faded. Occasionally, loud handgun shots that Su Mengxin recognized as the man's could still be heard. Thrilled at heart, Su Mengxin knew victory was near. Yet, her joy turned into sorrow when she suddenly saw a colorful caterpillar fall onto her clothes. Reacting instinctively as a woman, she let out a scream.

A nearby thug charged at her, and upon spotting Su Mengxin, he unhesitatingly raised his gun and pulled the trigger. Su Mengxin knew she was doomed and awaited the arrival of death. But at the very moment the gun fired, a dark shadow fell from the sky, landing right in front of her, shaking violently but still standing in front of her. With a sweep of his arm, the gunfire ceased. Su Mengxin knew what had happened. In that critical moment, the man had used his mountainous body to shield her from the bullets and saved her life. Blood poured from the man's shoulder, staining his tight, black vest red in an instant. "Are you okay?" Su Mengxin sprang up. "All taken care of, let's go." The man quickly took off his vest and bandaged the wound on his shoulder. Only then did Su Mengxin breathe a sigh of relief, knowing that the man hadn't suffered a fatal injury. Seeing that he was about to carry her again, Su Mengxin hurriedly said, "I can walk on my own." "No, the people behind us will catch up soon, we need to leave quickly." With no room for argument, he hoisted her onto his back once more. Lying on the man's back, Su Mengxin's eyes reddened, and she almost couldn't hold back her tears. Even if he was just following orders to protect her, taking a bullet with his body still profoundly moved her. Her fingers gently caressed the wound on his shoulder, her touch indescribably tender. Lying on the man's back, Su Mengxin unexpectedly fell asleep. In such a dangerous place, under the constant threat of murderous pursuit, she still dozed off, feeling a sense of safety as if no danger could harm her with this man by her side. When Su Mengxin woke up, she found herself in a vehicle, covered with a blanket, and a female soldier sitting beside her. She knew she was safe now. "How is he?" As soon as she woke up, Su Mengxin thought of the man. The female soldier was taken aback, unsure who Su Mengxin was referring to. "The man protecting me, Flying Hawk 002." "He's got some minor injuries." "That's good." Two months later, Su Mengxin was fully healed. During those days, her mind kept replaying a single image—a silhouette, a blood-stained black vest that she couldn't shake off. There were several papers on the table, including one with a photo of the man. He was the one who had taken her first kiss, removed her clothes, and shielded her from a bullet with his body. "Hmph, don't think I can't find you just because you've transferred." Su Mengxin muttered to herself and then said loudly, "Sister Li, help me prepare, I'm going to Mile City."
