Chapter 562: Yin Yirou's Kiss

After hearing Yin Yirou's conclusion……

Mu Lingxue and LiJiuzhe exchanged a glance, both of their eyes filled with shock and bewilderment??

"Internal strife, mutual slaughter? But this is too strange. We just finalized tonight's operation, and the Lei Hu Sect members just happened to suffer mutual slaughter and total annihilation—this is far too coincidental."

"Indeed not right." LiJiuzhe also agreed, "The Lei Hu Sect has been rooted in Gan Province for years; even if there are internal conflicts, they wouldn't reach the point of mutual slaughter. Moreover, the timing is too precise—just before our operation—it feels suspicious."

The two were whispering their discussion, while Lin Yuan beside them remained silent.

Lin Yuan's gaze…… swept over every corpse at the scene, his eyes growing increasingly solemn.

Lin Yuan is well-versed in traditional Chinese medicine, which gives him…… a perception of corpses and the scene far beyond ordinary people.

Just now Lin Yuan felt…… the scene's "cleanliness" was somewhat abnormal.

At this moment, Lin Yuan observed more carefully and finally discovered a clue.

Beneath the clothing of several corpses, a faint metallic glint could be seen.

Moreover, the positions were at key parts of the torso, not like personal belongings.

Lin Yuan's heart sank sharply; he quickened his steps forward, crouched down, and wanted to examine closely.

But as he approached a corpse, he keenly sensed an extremely weak electric current fluctuation coming from that metallic glint.

"No good! It's a bomb!" Lin Yuan's pupils contracted sharply, and he reacted instantly! @

These corpses had been rigged with custom-made bombs, targeting the investigators who had come to inspect!

"Watch out! There's a bomb!" Lin Yuan shouted loudly, his voice booming like thunder in the silent village.

At this time, Yin Yirou was crouched beside another corpse not far away…… conducting a meticulous examination.

Yin Yirou noticed nothing of the approaching danger.

The bomb was closest to Yin Yirou!

And Yin Yirou's autopsy tool happened to be aimed directly at the corpse rigged with the bomb!

Lin Yuan had no time to think; his body instantly burst into top speed as he lunged toward Yin Yirou.

"Thud……!" With a heavy thud, Lin Yuan slammed Yin Yirou to the ground!

After they rolled to the wall corner…… several violent explosions erupted in succession!

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The corpses rigged with bombs exploded one after another!

Shattered limbs, stones, and shrapnel flew everywhere!

Thick gunpowder smoke instantly filled the entire village.

The shockwave from the blast flung nearby officers into the air!

Mu Lingxue, being farther from the exploding corpses, hurriedly stepped back to avoid this dangerous scene!

However, at the scene, many officers couldn't dodge in time, being sliced by shrapnel or struck by stones, emitting waves of painful groans.

Lin Yuan tightly shielded Yin Yirou beneath him!

His back…… was grazed by flying stone fragments, sending a burning pain.

But Lin Yuan dared not relax at all.

Until all the explosions subsided, Lin Yuan slowly released his grip, panting, and asked: "Are you alright?"

Yin Yirou lifted her head, still shaken, her pretty face blank, still dazed……

After a long while, Yin Yirou finally came to her senses.

She looked at Lin Yuan's sweat-covered face.

She also glanced around at the chaotic explosion site.

"I… I'm fine, thank you for saving me."

Mu Lingxue and LiJiuzhe also quickly took cover in a safe zone……

The two looked at the horrific scene before them, their faces grim to the extreme.

Had it not been for Lin Yuan's timely warning, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Quick! Treat the wounded! Count the personnel!" LiJiuzhe reacted, shouting loudly at the nearby officers, his tone full of anxiety and anger.

The officers immediately sprang into action.

Some carried injured comrades toward the police vehicles, while others set up tighter security lines at the scene.

The whole scene descended into chaos.

"Everyone be careful, there might still be explosives! Handle the corpses with caution!" Lin Yuan reminded.

LiJiuzhe immediately called for the bomb-disposal experts, and all officers began to retreat!

Mu Lingxue walked to the wreckage after the explosion, looking at the scattered limbs and shrapnel.

"I think this is likely a suicide attack by the Lei Hu Sect."

"A suicide attack?" LiJiuzhe turned his head to look at her.

"Hmm." Mu Lingxue nodded, her tone affirmative: "They likely sensed our operation in advance, knew they couldn't escape, and didn't want to be captured and spill more secrets, so they simply set up these mutual-destruction bombs, hoping to wipe us out when we inspected the scene."

Lin Yuan happened to walk over, hearing Mu Lingxue's analysis, his brows furrowed even tighter.

He leaned against the wall beside him, the pain in his back making him involuntarily suck in a breath of cold air.

Yet Lin Yuan's heart was filled with doubts??

This…… really a suicide attack?

The entire Lei Hu Sect, rooted for years, would they all choose mutual destruction just because they feared exposure of their location?

Moreover…… the corpses at the scene earlier were clearly wounded by top-tier ancient martial artists.

This and the logic of a suicide attack…… simply don't match.

Lin Yuan always felt something was off, but he couldn't pinpoint exactly what was wrong for the moment.

He could only temporarily suppress this doubt in his heart.

At this moment…… everyone only then noticed Lin Yuan's back injury.

His casual clothes had already been soaked through with blood, and his back was covered with cuts and bruises of varying depths.

The deepest wound was still continuously oozing blood, a sight that was shocking to behold.

"Lin Yuan, you're injured!" Mu Lingxue hurried over, her voice full of worry.

"It's just a minor injury, it's fine." Lin Yuan waved his hand.

But as soon as he moved, a tearing pain came from the wound on his back.

Lin Yuan's face turned slightly pale.

"What minor injury, you've bled this much!" Yin Yirou also walked over; upon seeing Lin Yuan's back injury, her expression instantly turned grave.

Yin Yirou said anxiously, "We're too far from the hospital; let me give you emergency treatment first to prevent infection."

Mu Lingxue and the other officers still need to stay at the scene to handle follow-up matters.

LiJiuzhe has already contacted the ambulance and reinforcements.

Seeing this, LiJiuzhe said to Lin Yuan, "Lin Yuan, you've worked hard; go rest in the nearby car first, and let Forensic Doctor Yin treat your wound."

Lin Yuan originally wanted to handle it himself, but Yin Yirou insisted on helping him.

Lin Yuan, helpless, could only nod.

With Yin Yirou's support, Lin Yuan slowly walked to a police car not far away.

Yin Yirou opened the rear car door and let Lin Yuan get inside.

Afterward, she took out disinfectant supplies, hemostatic herbal powder, and clean gauze from the examination kit.

These were specially prepared by her for dealing with sudden external injuries.

"Take off your upper clothing; the wound on your back must be thoroughly cleaned." Yin Yirou's voice softened considerably, no longer the previous brisk aloofness.

Lin Yuan gritted his teeth and slowly removed the blood-stained upper garment, revealing a back covered in wounds.

On his body, the wounds crisscrossed, some still embedded with tiny stone fragments.

Blood flowed down along the wounds, making Yin Yirou's heart tighten.

However, Yin Yirou also discovered that Lin Yuan's body bore other scars from before.

"How come you have so many scars on your body? What did you used to do?" Yin Yirou asked in surprise.

A normal person couldn't possibly have that many scars on their body, right?

And Lin Yuan's body was densely covered with scars, all of them lingering remnants.

Lin Yuan found an excuse to explain, "Um, I've practiced martial arts since childhood, and got into fights for real training, leaving these behind."

Actually, these scars all over him are proof of his wandering the jianghu.

But Lin Yuan didn't want Yin Yirou to know.

So he just casually made up an excuse.

Yin Yirou was somewhat suspicious, but she didn't press further.

She picked up a cotton swab dipped in iodophor and gently helped Lin Yuan clean the dirt and stone fragments from his wound, fearing to hurt him.

The moment the iodophor touched the wound, a stinging sensation made Lin Yuan involuntarily tense his body.

Beads of fine sweat appeared on Lin Yuan's forehead, yet he never uttered a sound.

Seeing this, Yin Yirou felt increasingly grateful and also increasingly guilty.

If it weren't for Lin Yuan risking his life to save her, she would be the one lying there now.

After cleaning the wound, Yin Yirou opened a bottle of sealed herbal powder.

She carefully sprinkled it onto Lin Yuan's wound.

This herbal powder was specially formulated by Lin Yuan, with excellent hemostatic and anti-inflammatory effects.

Although Yin Yirou studied Western medicine, she has, under Lin Yuan's subtle influence, also come to trust traditional Chinese medicine.

The moment she sprinkled the herbal powder, the wound that had still been oozing blood… gradually stopped bleeding.

Witnessing this miraculous scene, Yin Yirou's beautiful eyes widened in astonishment.

Traditional Chinese medicine is also too miraculous.

Looking at Lin Yuan's back, those ferocious wounds, thinking that they were left there to save her…

Yin Yirou's beautiful eyes instantly reddened, crystal-clear tears swirling in her sockets.

She ultimately couldn't hold back and shed tears.

Her tears fell onto Lin Yuan's back, carrying a warm sensation.

Lin Yuan sensed the dampness on his back, slightly startled: "What's wrong?"

Yin Yirou didn't answer, merely sniffled.

She held back her sobs, picked up the gauze, and began to bandage Lin Yuan.

Her movements were exceptionally gentle, as if she were cherishing a rare treasure.

She wrapped the gauze around Lin Yuan's back in circles, firmly covering the wound.

After bandaging, Yin Yirou finally spoke slowly, her voice carrying a barely perceptible tremor: "Lin Yuan, I have a question I've always wanted to ask you—what exactly is your relationship with Officer Mu…?"

Lin Yuan stared for a moment; this question… put him in a difficult spot.

His relationship with Mu Lingxue is complicated; calling them boyfriend and girlfriend is actually more like an entanglement sparked by an accident.

But now, facing Yin Yirou, Lin Yuan didn't know how to explain, so he could only stay silent.

Seeing that he didn't answer, Yin Yirou didn't press further.

Just that, her eyes gained a few more shades of complex emotion.

She looked at Lin Yuan's pale side profile, then glanced at the thick gauze on his back.

Yin Yirou's gratitude in her heart could no longer be suppressed; she whispered, "You were willing to sacrifice your own life to save me—this kindness, I… I don't know how to repay you."

Before her words faded, Yin Yirou suddenly bent forward...

She reached out her hand… and lightly pressed Lin Yuan's shoulder.

Then she tiptoed and pressed her lips to Lin Yuan's.

Her kiss carried the salty tang of tears, with a hint of awkward shyness.

Her soft lips lightly touched Lin Yuan's lips.

At that moment, Lin Yuan froze!

Lin Yuan… completely stiffened!

He was utterly dazed, even forgetting the pain in his back.

Yin Yirou kept kissing him.

Yin Yirou's eye sockets remained red, her eyes full of shyness and determination… she dared not meet his gaze.

Her eyes were closed, her long lashes trembling slightly.

She was just humming, kissing Lin Yuan...
