Chapter 567: Two Girls Living Together!

Seeing the motorcycle behind actually catch up?

Yin Yirou's pretty face turned deathly pale.

She immediately pressed the accelerator, and the car shot forward.

Yin Yirou drove toward the garage exit……

She was driving an Audi Q8 SUV, which had strong performance.

Yin Yirou pressed the accelerator with one foot, and the car sped forward……

But the motorcycle behind also came chasing furiously!

That bandit, wearing a helmet, rode the motorcycle, pursuing with lightning speed!

Behind…… the motorcycle's roar grew closer, the bandit's speed astonishingly fast!

The motorcycle closely followed her car, the distance continually narrowing.

Yin Yirou sat in the car, her pretty face flustered beyond compare.

She gripped the steering wheel tightly, her palms full of cold sweat.

Her gaze fixed firmly on the exit ahead.

At this moment, her only hope was Lin Yuan.

She followed Lin Yuan's instructions on WeChat, speeding along a road……

Yin Yirou inwardly hoped…… Lin Yuan, where are you? Come quickly……

She could see Lin Yuan's icon on the shared location in WeChat quickly approaching her, but each second now felt as long as an era.

Just as she was about to turn……

The motorcycle behind suddenly accelerated, and the bandit rode it in pursuit.

The bandit, sitting on the motorcycle, actually pulled out a gleaming dagger.

The bandit, while riding, waved the dagger at her rear window, shouting: "Stop! If you don't stop, I'll stab you to death!"

Yin Yirou screamed in fright.

She had never seen such a terrifying side; Yin Yirou suddenly turned the steering wheel, and the car narrowly avoided hitting the roadside guardrail.

At that critical moment, a blinding headlight…… suddenly shot from the rear‑diagonal!

Accompanied by a roar of tires!

A silver‑blue Tesla Model S sedan…… came rushing like a white bolt of lightning.

It was Lin Yuan!

He saw Yin Yirou's location on the shared map, and also heard the motorcycle's roar and her scream……

So Lin Yuan instantly judged the situation urgent, and he drove without hesitation to the scene!

Lin Yuan sat in the Tesla, he slammed the accelerator and slammed into the bandit's motorcycle!

"Bang——!"

A loud bang! The Tesla sedan's front…… precisely struck the motorcycle's side!

The huge impact sent the motorcycle instantly out of control, spinning like a top for several turns!

The bandit was flung out, crashing heavily to the ground!

The dagger in the bandit's hand also flew far away!

The motorcycle slid across the ground, leaving a long trail of sparks, and finally crashed with a clang into the roadside lamppost, scattering parts everywhere!

Lin Yuan's car also slid forward a distance due to the recoil before stopping.

He immediately opened the car door, jumped out, and ran straight to Yin Yirou's car!

His voice full of anxiety: "Yirou! How are you? Are you hurt?"

Yin Yirou trembled as she opened the car door; the moment she saw Lin Yuan, all her strength collapsed, and tears fell like broken beads……

She lunged into Lin Yuan's embrace, choking out: "Lin Yuan…… you finally came……"

Yin Yirou hugged Lin Yuan and sobbed loudly.

This woman has indeed endured too much fright.

Tonight, for her, is a day she dare not recall for the rest of her life.

Lin Yuan gently patted her back, soothing her trembling body.

"It's okay, don't be afraid." Lin Yuan said softly.

But just as Lin Yuan was comforting Yin Yirou……

Not far away, that bandit actually, under cover of night, endured the severe pain and sprang up from the ground.

That bandit had no hesitation, turning and sprinting madly into the nearby alley……

His movements were so swift they seemed nothing like someone who had just suffered a heavy impact injury.

Lin Yuan caught sight of the bandit's movement out of the corner of his eye!

"You think you can run?" Lin Yuan's face darkened!

He immediately released Yin Yirou from his embrace, and said in a low voice, "Stay here, don't move, I'll go after him!"

Before his words finished, Lin Yuan shot out like an arrow from a bow, chasing after the bandit's escape direction!

Lin Yuan's speed was extremely fast; with a few strides he closed the distance to the bandit.

But the bandit's speed was also far beyond ordinary, especially as he twisted and turned in the narrow alley, moving with astonishing agility.

Just as he was about to catch up, a courtyard wall over two meters high suddenly appeared ahead, blocking the way.

Lin Yuan thought the bandit would be stopped, but he saw the bandit suddenly push off with his feet, leap up, lightly brace his arms on the walltop, and his whole body vaulted over like a monkey!

The bandit's movements were clean and decisive, with no hesitation!

This is clearly the wall‑running, roof‑skipping skill possessed only by ancient martial artists!

"!!!" Lin Yuan rushed to the wall, watching the robber leap over the wall and disappear on the other side; his steps halted instantly, his face suddenly solemn.

The opponent is also a martial artist?!

Lin Yuan had wanted to continue the pursuit, but when he thought of Yin Yirou still outside...

He feared Yin Yirou might come to harm, and feared there might be more bandits lying in ambush around.

So Lin Yuan could only give up.

He glanced at the spot on the wall where the robber had disappeared.

Finally, Lin Yuan's pupils grew solemn; he could only turn back and retreat.

Lin Yuan returned to the street.

Yin Yirou saw Lin Yuan and trembled as she embraced him.

"Don't go..." Yin Yirou's voice trembled, helpless and forlorn.

Lin Yuan held the woman in his arms and softly comforted her.

But at that moment, Lin Yuan's mind was pondering.

A strong premonition surged into his heart, making his heart sink heavily.

That robber was a martial artist…… and could even perform Feiyan Zubie……

These two keywords flashed quickly through Lin Yuan's mind……

It immediately overlapped with the doubts that had been lingering in his mind.

He had previously suspected…… that the members of the Thunder Tiger Sect had faked their deaths to escape.

Now it seems this speculation is extremely likely to be true!

Tonight's robber is very likely a member of the Thunder Tiger Sect!

But immediately, a greater question surged into his mind: What if the opponent is a member of the Thunder Tiger Sect?

Then why would the remnants of the Thunder Tiger Sect target Yin Yirou?

Yin Yirou is merely a forensic doctor responsible for autopsies.

Although she had participated in the Thunder Tiger Sect case……

But logically, if the Thunder Tiger Sect sought revenge, they should first go after him, Mu Lingxue, and Lin Yuan himself……

Yet how could they fixate on Yin Yirou instead?

Lin Yuan held Yin Yirou in his arms, his brows tightly knit, unable to figure it out despite much thought.

At that moment, a piercing siren sounded from afar, drawing nearer.

Soon, several police cars arrived at the scene; red and blue flashing lights cut through the night, illuminating the chaotic intersection.

The car doors opened, and Mu Lingxue, accompanied by several officers, hurried over.

She instantly saw the pallid, disheveled Yin Yirou…… and the solemn Lin Yuan.

Mu Lingxue's eyes swept over the chaotic scene; her already tense face grew even more grave.

Mu Lingxue hurried forward and asked, "Yirou, are you alright? What exactly happened?"

Seeing Mu Lingxue, Yin Yirou's tense emotions eased slightly; her eye sockets reddened a little, she shook her head, unable to speak.

Seeing this, Lin Yuan stepped forward and briefly explained: "Just now someone broke into Yirou's house with ill intent; Yirou used the electric baton to resist and escaped; the attacker chased her on a motorcycle; I arrived and knocked his motorcycle away, but he took advantage of the darkness to flee."

"He got away?" Mu Lingxue frowned, her gaze sweeping the nearby alleys, "Who was he? Did you get a clear look at his appearance?"

Lin Yuan's eyes sank, his tone grave with certainty: "I didn't see his exact appearance, but I can be certain he is a martial artist. After being struck by Yirou's electric baton, he not only quickly got up, but while fleeing he could easily leap over a wall over two meters high, his movements swift and clean—something no ordinary person could do."

Saying this, Lin Yuan paused.

Lin Yuan fell silent for a moment, then added word by word: "I had previously suspected that the Thunder Tiger Sect members might have faked their deaths to escape; now it seems this speculation is very likely true. He is probably a remnant of the Thunder Tiger Sect."

"What?!" Mu Lingxue's eyes narrowed sharply, her pupils constricted, her face full of disbelief.

The Thunder Tiger Sect case has already been formally closed, with all evidence pointing to members killing each other.

Mu Lingxue never imagined that remnants actually survived, even following them to Hangcheng and laying hands on Yin Yirou.

After the shock, Mu Lingxue quickly calmed down.

She immediately arranged for officers to examine the scene and collect evidence.

The police extracted traces from the motorcycle and footprints from the ground.

At the same time, Mu Lingxue, accompanied by a female officer, approached Yin Yirou and said softly, "Yirou, you've worked hard; could you give a statement now? Please recount the events in detail."

Yin Yirou collected herself, nodded, and followed Mu Lingxue to the police car.

Yin Yirou sat in the front passenger seat, gradually calming her emotions……

She recounted in detail everything from the midnight lock-picking intrusion, to being startled awake and facing threats, to using the electric baton to resist and the chase, finally to Lin Yuan arriving to rescue her.

When she said, "After being hit by the electric baton, the opponent merely let out a miserable cry, fell to the ground, and shortly got up to chase me," Mu Lingxue's gaze grew even more grave.

Mu Lingxue turned her head to look at Lin Yuan beside her.

The two exchanged a glance, each seeing confirmation in the other's eyes.

Withstanding the shock of the anti-wolf electric baton…… and still moving quickly, this physique is indeed extraordinary compared to ordinary people.

This further corroborates Lin Yuan's speculation about "martial artists" and "remnants of the Thunder Tiger Sect."

By the time the statement was finished, it was already past eleven at night.

Yin Yirou was already exhausted, her eyes still holding remnants of fright.

Mu Lingxue said sympathetically, "Yirou, you definitely can't stay at your home tonight; I'll take you to a nearby hotel to get a room, and I'll stay with you."

Yin Yirou did not refuse; having experienced this, she now dare not stay alone.

Lin Yuan looked at the two and said in a low voice, "Then I'll head back first; you rest well tonight, and if anything happens, call me anytime—my phone is on 24/7."

"Okay." Mu Lingxue nodded and added, "You also be careful on the road."

Lin Yuan acknowledged with a sound, turned, and walked toward his own car.

Watching Lin Yuan's car disappear into the night……

Mu Lingxue then brought Yin Yirou and opened a large-bed room at a nearby chain hotel.

Tonight, Mu Lingxue stayed with her.

That night, Yin Yirou slept restlessly, waking at the slightest sound……

Mu Lingxue kept gently patting her back to soothe her, and only when dawn approached did she finally fall into a deep sleep.

……

In the following days.

The news that remnants of the Thunder Tiger Sect might be hiding in Hangcheng weighed on Mu Lingxue's mind like a stone.

She knew that since they had already moved against Yin Yirou, they would not give up easily, and Yin Yirou's safety could be threatened at any moment.

After much thought, Mu Lingxue made a decision.,

She wanted to personally protect Yin Yirou.

Mu Lingxue first arranged for police to conduct a thorough sweep of the area around Yin Yirou's home, confirming that no suspicious personnel were hiding.

Mu Lingxue also installed a large amount of surveillance and alarm equipment around Yin Yirou's home.

Then, Mu Lingxue brought her own change of clothes and moved directly into Yin Yirou's home.

"Yirou, for this period I'll stay here with you. With me here, I can respond to any sudden situation and let you feel more at ease." Mu Lingxue said to Yin Yirou.

Yin Yirou looked at Mu Lingxue's sincere eyes, her heart full of gratitude, and nodded slightly: "Lingxue, thank you."

She knew that Mu Lingxue was doing this to protect her; having a familiar person by her side truly lessened her fear considerably.

In the following days, the two women began living together.

When Yin Yirou went to work at the Forensic Center, Mu Lingxue would personally pick her up and drop her off whenever she had no urgent work, keeping her close at all times.

Furthermore, Mu Lingxue carried a gun with her 24 hours a day, ensuring she always had the ability to defend herself.

That evening, Mu Lingxue picked up Yin Yirou from work as usual.

The car smoothly entered the underground parking garage of Yin Yirou's residential complex; dim lights lined the walls in order, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

In the spacious garage, aside from their car, only a few scattered vehicles were parked; it was so quiet that footsteps echoed clearly.

Mu Lingxue parked the car steadily in the spot, just turned off the engine, and was about to open the door to get out.

But out of the corner of her eye, she caught a faint black shadow flashing behind a pillar ahead.

That shadow moved extremely fast; had she not remained highly vigilant, she would almost have missed it.

Mu Lingxue's eyes turned icy, and her whole body's nerves tensed instantly.

She hesitated not at all, immediately reaching out to press down on Yin Yirou's hand, which was about to pull the car door……

At the same time, Mu Lingxue lowered her voice and urgently whispered, audible only to the two of them: "Yirou, don't get out of the car! There's a problem!"
