Chapter 447: Chapter 314: Being Played in Circles (third update)_1

Mu Lin lifted the corners of her mouth, her face remained calm as she cast a glance over the people nearby. "Although I enjoy playing with guns, I don’t like being threatened with one."

"Are you sure you don’t need to reconsider?" He looked at Jiang Tiantian standing outside the circle with a smirk, making her disgusted with his manner.

"Reconsider?" Jiang Tiantian laughed, "Are you kidding me?" She absolutely did not believe that Mu Lin could escape this hail of gunfire. In her eyes, Mu Lin was just bluffing.

Looking at Mu Lin, his expression became increasingly triumphant, as if he had the upper hand.

"Little Divine Doctor Mu." The name was uttered with a hint of sarcasm. Jiang Tiantian looked at Mu Lin, "Maybe, we can negotiate. Do you want to consider it?" Seeing his smug confidence was unbearable to Ya Yan so she turned her head away.

"Oh?" Hearing Jiang Tiantian’s words, Mu Lin raised an eyebrow, "Go on." She was curious to hear what kind of ’great’ suggestion she might have.

Seeing that Mu Lin seemed to be ’compromising’, Jiang Tiantian’s face twisted with an odd smile, "If you kiss each of the men here in front of me, I will let you go. How about that?"

"This demand isn’t unreasonable." At this moment, someone who was formerly satisfied seemed to have forgotten something important.

"Not unreasonable, of course not unreasonable." Mu Lin said casually, the smirk on her face gradually turned into a wicked grin, "But I don’t have much experience. How about you demonstrate first, and then I’ll follow?"

"I don’t think that’s unreasonable. After all, Miss. Jiang Tiantian, you are experienced and unrivaled."

Mu Lin praised her lavishly, showing no restraint. Ya Yan was chuckling behind Mu Lin at the sight of Jiang Tiantian’s jealous glare.

How dare she compete with Mu Lin! She really has a death wish.

The situation was clearly dangerous, but for some reason, Ya Yan didn’t feel scared at all. All her earlier fears and feelings of helplessness vanished.

As long as Mu Lin was there, even just watching her back gave her a sense of security. She believed that Mu Lin would keep her safe. Even if something happened, she would still trust her.

Besides Yan Zilei, only Mu Lin made her feel this secure; Ya Yan cherished Mu Lin’s friendship. She was like an older sister to her.

Even though she had never asked about Mu Lin’s age, Mu Lin gave her an impression of being very mature.

Jiang Tiantian’s face darkened as she focused on Mu Lin. If looks could kill, Mu Lin would be riddled with holes and dead by now.

Well, only if she had that ability.

Jiang Tiantian scoffed and looked at Mu Lin indifferently, "Since you’ve made your choice, don’t blame me for not being merciful." She took a couple of steps back, "Do it. Remember, leave one alive." She had plans for her.

However, Mu Lin just smiled lightly, showing no sign of tension. "You’re sure? You don’t want the antidote?" Now, the person being threatened was no longer her.

Jiang Tiantian’s face froze. She was so angry that she had completely forgotten about the antidote. But after Mu Lin’s remark, she suddenly remembered, causing the blood to drain from her face.

She had actually forgotten about it.

"What do I need to do to get the antidote?" Jiang Tiantian looked coldly at Mu Lin, gritting her teeth. The odds were against her since Ya Yan had been rescued by Mu Lin, but they couldn’t escape, could they?

"Hmm." Hearing this, Mu Lin assumed a thoughtful expression, looking somewhat distressed. "How about this?" Mu Lin suggested, Jiang Tiantian looked at her, "What?"

Mu Lin didn’t say anything but turned to Ya Yan, "Ya Yan, you should leave first. Five hundred meters from here, your brother is waiting for you." There were some things that she didn’t want her to see. It wasn’t that Mu Lin was scared of anything, but she wished to preserve Yan Yan’s purity and simplicity; even if things would change in the future, she didn’t want to be the one that changed her.

Mu Lin’s hands were already stained with blood. In her eyes, Ya Yan was the purest person. Maybe that’s why, seeing this girl who was completely opposite to her, even Mu Lin couldn’t help but want to protect her.

Looking at Mu Lin, Ya Yan shook her head violently, "I’m not leaving. I want to stay with you." If she left, what would happen to Mu Lin? If death was certain, she would rather die with her.

Seeing Ya Yan’s resolute expression, Mu Lin felt a mix of helplessness and touched.

Can she stop acting like Mu Lin was destined to die? If she could be killed that easily, she would have died eight hundred years ago and wouldn’t be here now.

Mu Lin looked at her calmly, "Little bunny, be obedient. If you stay here, I will be distracted." She could protect her, but she would indeed be slightly distracted. This was the truth.

Ya Yan still looked hesitant briefly but eventually nodded her head. If leaving would ensure Mu Lin’s safety, then she would leave.

Mu Lin nodded in satisfaction and turned to look at Jiang Tiantian, "My demand is for you to let Ya Yan go. Once I get the message that she is safe, I will immediately hand over the antidote to you." This was her condition, it all depended on whether Jiang Tiantian would agree.

Even if she didn’t agree, it didn’t matter to Mu Lin.

Jiang Tiantian frowned, "What if you go back on your word after I let her go, or give me a fake antidote?" She wasn’t that naive. If Ya Yan really left, she wouldn’t stand a chance. However, if Ya Yan stayed, it might still serve as leverage against Mu Lin.

"You can hardly fight four hands with two, especially when over a dozen guns are all pointed at my head. Do you think I dare to play tricks on you?" Mu Lin analyzed calmly. However, only she knew if she really meant it.

Jiang Tiantian looked thoughtful, as if she was considering.

"Rest assured, if I play any tricks, you can just put a bullet in me," although she would dodge it. "I carry all of my antidotes with me. You can test them one by one until you find the right one." Mu Lin smiled subtly. Of course, there’s a higher chance of finding a poisonous one instead.

But of course, she wasn’t going to say that; she wasn’t stupid.

"Ok." In the end, Jiang Tiantian nodded. With so many guns pointed at her, she believed Mu Lin wouldn’t dare to play any tricks. Although Mu Lin was skilled and fast, no matter how quick she was, she could never outrun a bullet. Jiang Tiantian was confident; Mu Lin was definitely trapped.

Even if she chose to detain both of them, if Mu Lin would rather die than hand over the antidote, she would end up with a net loss.

So, she agreed.

Jiang Tiantian had only wanted to use Ya Yan to lure Mu Lin here in the first place, and this deal seemed promising. "Fine, let her go." Finally, Jiang Tiantian nodded, ordering her men to lower their guns.

Mu Lin turned to Ya Yan, "Go on, hurry back to your brother. He’s been so worried about you that he’s almost going mad." Mu Lin gently ruffled Ya Yan’s hair.

Without her intervention, there’s no way Yan Zilei would stand patient from a distance.

Bloody troublesome, these men in love.

Jing Ye: "..." Taking the hit.

Originally, she’d hoped they would stay with Hong Da, but Yan Zilei ended up following them. Mu Lin helplessly instructed them to wait a distance of 500 meters away to prevent the enemy from discovering them, which would have caused problems.

Ya Yan nodded, turned around, and looked back every three steps. Eventually, she ran off in the other direction. With her reddened eyes, if seen by Mu Lin, she would probably be mistaken for a bunny with red eyes.

After Ya Yan had left, Mu Lin took out a transparent pill from her bag, "This is the antidote."

"Give it to me." Jiang Tiantian excitedly tried to advance, but the next moment, Mu Lin put the pill away, "I’ve said it already, I must confirm Ya Yan’s safety. Once I have that confirmation, I can give you the antidote without hesitation."

She, Mu Lin, was a woman of her word.

Less than ten minutes later, Mu Lin received a call from Yan Zilei.

She nodded, hung up the call, turned to look at Jiang Tiantian, and with a casual toss, the transparent antidote flew over. However, Jiang Tiantian didn’t catch it.

Tsk tsk, such poor reflexes.

Mu Lin teased.

Hurriedly picking it off the ground, Jiang Tiantian appeared excited. These past few days had truly been torture.

After wiping it clean, Jiang Tiantian swallowed it without hesitation, causing Mu Lin to chuckle, "You’re so desperate, aren’t you afraid that I’ve given you poison instead of the antidote?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Tiantian froze, "You tricked me." She stared angrily at Mu Lin, "Hand over the real antidote."

"I was joking." Mu Lin shrugged; Tsk, Jiang Tiantian had really allowed herself to be led by the nose by Mu Lin.

Jiang Tiantian clenched her teeth, "Attack." Now she had the antidote, there was no need to be polite to Mu Lin anymore, once again ordering, "Take her alive. As long as she isn’t dead, it’s fine." She planned to string her up and then... A weird ambiguous smile appeared on Jiang Tiantian’s face.

Unfortunately for her, she won’t get another chance.
