Miss Assassin is heavily addicted

Chapter 98. Escaping Death
He Ye is desperately trying to escape.

He was holding the delicate Lolis in his arms. This girl weighed less than 100 pounds and her vital signs were critical. He Ye's left hand was around her neck and his right hand was around the back of her knees, which felt as soft as water.

To be honest, if it weren't for the vicious pursuers behind them, such a handsome and dashing princess carry would have been a truly beautiful sight.

Unfortunately, there is no such thing.

"My goodness, they're really hot on our heels!"

As He Ye ran, she glanced back, her face paling slightly as she cried out. Only two ordinary agents were chasing after her, their faces revealing murderous intent.

On the rooftop, however, a Nightingale agent was still chasing after them, her long black hair swaying in the twilight.

Good news: There are only three pursuers.

Bad news: He Ye cannot engage in direct combat.

He and Lawrence had just finished a deal with people from Country C not long ago. Although their faces weren't clearly seen, he couldn't really be a spy within a spy, could he? If he were to fight these agents for three hundred rounds, wouldn't he be hearing Mark's wailing and howling tomorrow?

What does it mean for an undercover agent to fight against friendly forces, causing international cooperation to crumble?

Therefore, of the thirty-six stratagems, running away is the best!
"This officer is problematic."

"Don't worry, what they just said was just a smokescreen. Catch up and take them both out!"

Because the title he used when he appeared was "Black Flower Specialist, Mr. Nice Guy," the group of agents were still a little wary, but there was no doubt that he had already seen through their ruse.

The fact that only three of them came after them suggests something was amiss; the others seemed to have gone to deal with the other fleeing officers. After all, an agent from the Iron Curtain Special Operations Bureau could easily handle an ordinary officer, let alone one carrying an injured girl.

However, after a minute or two of chasing, they realized something was wrong.

"Wait, how can he run so fast?!"

"...This guy seems to really have a problem."

The two agents realized the seriousness of the situation. Slightly out of breath, they chased after him, exchanged a glance, and decided to split up and encircle him.

Meanwhile, the nightingale, which was gliding lightly across the rooftop, kept a close watch, preventing He Ye from escaping and monitoring the entire scene.

He Ye also noticed their split-up actions.

Actually, he was a bit exhausted by now. Even though Loris was light, he was still carrying her while running. And the injured Loris had been silent ever since he rescued her. She looked at him, her eyes darting around, seemingly lost in thought, before finally lowering her gaze with regret.

To be honest, He Ye just hopes that the people from the National Security Bureau can find out about the situation here as soon as possible, otherwise he might really become a spy within a spy!

"If all else fails, just run away..."

At this moment, Loris, who was in his arms during the run, finally spoke her first words after a long silence, leaning wearily against his chest.

"yeah?"

At this moment, this old lady still had the strength to say these words. The blood on her shoulder and arm had soaked through He Ye's fingers. Putting her down would only lead to her death. To be honest, I really don't know what she was thinking.

"How can we just sit idly by now that things have come to this? I've already said we're friends, haven't I? Now trust me, even though I'm not good at fighting, my escape skills are top-notch... Damn, ambush!"

Before He Ye could finish speaking, an arrogant-looking special agent appeared in front of him.

They were clearly guys who split up to intercept the goods.

Without a doubt, they turned tail and ran!
Thanks to his previous patrols in the Kobolo neighborhood, he was no longer as unfamiliar with the place as before. At least he knew which alleyway led to the main road. Once he got on the road, he might be able to call Yuri and request backup from the police car!

"Tsk."

The agent, unable to stop him, ran after him again.

Meanwhile, the nightingale on the roof seized the opportunity and took out a throwing knife from her bosom, planting it in He Ye's only path!

Spider-Sense activated! -- Just kidding!

He had been wary of the woman on the rooftop, and could tell from her appearance that she was the most difficult to deal with. So when the flying knife came, He Ye had already staggered and turned to the right alleyway!
Although we were forced to slow down our journey to the main road, upon closer inspection, it wasn't certain that everyone here would be from Country C. The better course of action was to find a place to lie low and wait for the National Security Bureau's support!
In short, just run for your life!
"That troublesome mouse!"

Just as He Ye was distracted, another agent who had split up earlier suddenly appeared, catching her off guard.

He shouted menacingly, gripping a tactical dagger in his hand, and charged forward from the shadows, where he had been lying in ambush for some time.

Seeing this, He Ye instinctively raised his foot and kicked the officer hard in the chest! The other party seemed to have not expected that this fleeing police officer would dare to fight back, and was dumbfounded. In their eyes, he was just a coward who was good at running away!
"cough!"

Instantly, blood gushed from the agent's mouth, and shock flashed in his eyes. The kick sent him flying into a pile of garbage by the roadside!

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry!"

He Ye looked embarrassed and really didn't want to resort to violence. He only realized what was happening in time and then regretted it. He knew he was still a citizen of Country B, and no matter what, he couldn't ruin his own people's plans.

Loris didn't see the kick. She was still worried about whether He Ye could escape. The excessive blood loss made her vision blurry. In her mind, although this guy had some rudimentary skills and was good at dodging, there was no way he could escape with her in this situation.

"you……"

"Don't talk, don't talk." He Ye was already slightly out of breath; he wasn't in good condition either. "It'll be alright."

Loris pursed her lips and fell silent, a hint of melancholy flashing in her eyes.

From initial surprise and astonishment, only sadness remains now. Admittedly, his appearance is a pleasant surprise, but the possibility of escaping with her is still too low, and she doesn't want to be a burden to He Ye.

Nightingale witnessed the scene of kicking her colleague away and realized that this 'ordinary police officer' was not as ordinary as he seemed. However, Jorgen had more important matters to attend to—people had already been assigned to transfer documents and to hunt down the two fleeing officers. Sending three people over was already a sign of his importance.

But even so, it seems they underestimated their opponent.

Seeing this, the nightingale had no choice but to take a deep breath and seize the opportunity to leap down.

He Ye sensed the disappearance of the figure on the roof and subconsciously stopped in his tracks, then quickly retreated.

The next second, he was five meters away in the open space in front of him.

The nightingale descended from the sky, splashing muddy water two meters high, and brandished two poisoned military blades in its left and right hands.

If I hadn't stopped, I would be under her feet right now.

At this moment, the special agents who had been chasing them arrived, and the two of them surrounded He Ye from the front and the back. At this point, there was only one way to break through.

Break through wherever the weakness lies.

There was no greeting whatsoever.

The nightingale charged straight at us, its steps so swift they were almost invisible.

Upon seeing this, He Ye immediately turned around and rushed towards that man.

The ordinary agent, who was ready to defend himself, was confident of victory against He Ye. However, he realized his mistake the next second – the opponent's skills seemed to be no less than his own, and might even be superior.

With a cold snort, the Iron Curtain agent clenched his fist and struck a move similar to the "Inch Punch" attack from Bajiquan!
That's enough!

He Ye found an opening and dodged the punch by tilting his head!
Then, in the next second, the knee was already moving, aiming at the man's most vulnerable spot. The killer move that was once used at the Baplo Credit Company was now being used again.

A single, decisive blow!
"Click."

The Iron Curtain agent stared wide-eyed, speechless, and knelt down on the ground, trembling as if petrified.

Meanwhile, Nightingale had already attacked from behind. Because her colleagues had bought enough time, she was extremely fast and struck vital organs such as the throat, heart, and kidneys in just two or three seconds!
He Ye was carrying Lolis, which made it difficult for him to move around, let alone protect her!
In the few seconds of their struggle, her shoulder had already been slashed!
So cold.

Feeling a cool touch on her shoulder, He Ye quickly seized the opportunity to create some distance, then turned and ran deeper into the area.

Nightingale, seeing that she had the upper hand, shook the blood off her dagger.

We've already spent enough time on him; the blow to his shoulder was enough to put him on the brink of death. Continuing to pursue him would only be a waste of time. The next thing to do is to rendezvous with Jorgen and leave this place.

So the nightingale turned and left.

Passing by her colleague who was kneeling on the ground, she hesitated for a few seconds before reaching out to help him up. As expected of an agent of the Iron Curtain Special Operations Bureau, she stood up after only a few seconds of swaying, her face pale and her teeth clenched.

"Retreat."

"...Yes...yes!" The voice trembled.

……

—Koboluo neighborhood, near the main road—

He Ye felt a little cold.

His body temperature seemed to be a little unbalanced, perhaps because the toxins had invaded the previously injured area. But he couldn't deal with it at the moment, nor could he stop. He could only walk quickly while holding Loris in his arms.

It seems the Iron Curtain intelligence agents didn't pursue him, so he's safe and sound now, at least he doesn't have to run for his life.

"You're not dead?"

He Ye suddenly shook the Lolis in his arms. She had been silent since the beginning, her head pressed against his chest. He Ye had pressed and sealed the wound on her arm with his fingers, so she shouldn't be bleeding any more slowly.

"...You're not dead...but your chest feels a bit cold."

"Why are you taking advantage of me... Phew, we'll be on the main road soon. Those guys haven't caught up yet. I'll have Yuri take you to the nearest hospital later."

He Ye tried to keep his voice steady so that she wouldn't notice anything amiss.

Now that we've survived, it seems we have a lot to say again.

"How...did you get here?"

“I happened to be patrolling around here. Now the police officers from the Public Security Bureau also patrol around here at night. I heard gunshots and came over. I didn’t expect you to provoke this group of killers… They are clearly not local gangsters. I don’t understand why they dare to chase down police officers.”

He Ye spoke as if he knew nothing, growing increasingly tired yet managing to exude gentleness.

“…Thank you, you saved me.” Loris finally spoke after a long silence.

"It's nothing, we're friends, what's the big deal? You helped me too, didn't you? I don't like owing favors to others, so if someone helps me, I'll try my best to repay them. Don't take it to heart and think about repaying them with your body or anything like that."

"Glib tongue..."

He Ye smiled gently: "It's good that you still have energy."

After confirming that she wouldn't die anytime soon, He Ye breathed a sigh of relief. Thinking about it carefully, the scene just now was indeed very dangerous. Lolis, who was surrounded, seemed to be prepared to sacrifice herself. If he didn't go to save her, the next time they met would probably be like a regretful black and white portrait.

Perhaps it's a bit too risky.

Keheye wanted to do the same thing again.

"They...didn't they catch up?"

"No, they've already escaped. Unbelievable, right?"

"You're really good at running away."

"I'll take that as a compliment."

He Ye was already a little weak. As he carried Lolis, he gradually heard the sound of a walkie-talkie crackling as the other party made a contact.

Contact from a junior colleague.

Yuri had been trying to make contact since hearing the gunshot, and now that they were near the main road, the frequency finally connected.

"Senior! I heard gunshots! Something very dangerous has happened. The regular police officers in this area have been ordered to retreat. Are you alright? Are you nearby? Do you need backup, senior?"

"...I never imagined I'd be so happy to hear your ramblings one day."

"Senior?! Thank goodness! Where are you? Are you injured?!"

"I have another wounded soldier here. Hurry up and bring the car over. I'm right here..."

He Ye smiled bitterly as he carried Lolis and talked, while Lolis eventually seemed to have closed her eyes.

Normally, there would be a lot of trouble, like telling her not to touch her waist or legs, but now she touches me however I want without any restraint or reaction.

He Ye had no choice but to shake her again: "Don't sleep."

"...This is so annoying." Loris slightly opened her eyes. "I'm going to hate you..."

Once he was sure the old lady was still able to speak, he decided not to disturb her any longer. He Ye had already strolled around and finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the police car approaching.

"Senior! You, you!...So you're really alright..."

Yuri anxiously opened the car door and got out. He saw that He Ye, who was standing by the roadside, had no blood on his face, but the light blonde girl he was holding was covered in wounds.

"Who, who is this?" Yuri asked.

“Our spy team seems to have run into a big rat while on a mission here…” He Ye said, slightly out of breath. “Anyway, we need to retreat to a nearby hospital as soon as possible, and also notify the National Security Bureau to send someone over to handle it. It seems there are people from a hostile organization here.”

He Ye struggled to get into the car and gently placed Lolis on the back seat.

Seeing this, Yuri got into the car and prepared to speed away, but then he turned to look at He Ye, who was already sitting in the passenger seat—he also had a wound on his shoulder, though it was not deep and the blood was greenish.

"Senior, your shoulder!"

"It's alright, you won't die now, but if you didn't drive faster, you might have gotten hurt..."

He Ye let out a long sigh of relief. Hearing this, Yuri dared not delay any longer and immediately stepped on the gas, turned around, and headed for the nearest hospital, while also asking with concern:

"It's too dangerous, senior! How could you risk your life alone? You should at least have waited for me!"

When you arrive, I'll be holding someone in both arms.

He Ye was too tired to talk anymore. He unconsciously closed his eyes. He had never taken this injury seriously. Now, after the sprint and the fight, all he wanted to do was rest.

Seeing this, Yuri seemed to remember something, and quickly added while pressing the accelerator:
“Those people you mentioned have already been contacted! Just ten minutes ago, a message came from police car H-302 in this area that those capable specialists have already gone there.”

As soon as she finished speaking, He Ye opened her heavy eyelids slightly, realizing that the news had already spread.

Oh no... I might really end up taking the blame later.

However, he should have never been exposed. Even if he had to take the blame, it would only be internal suspicion, and he could explain the situation—Lawrence could also testify for him or take the blame.

Hopefully, the other side won't be wiped out in one fell swoop.
