Beauty and the Bodyguard

Of Course!

"Eat first, then talk in my office," Song Lingshan nodded and cut off Chen Yutian's words. Although they were in the corner and no one noticed them, Song Lingshan didn't want to talk about work in public due to her professional career.

Chen Yutian also nodded and quickly devoured the food in front of him. Song Lingshan didn't talk during dinner, and Chen Yutian wanted to talk about something other than food, "You… You know Lin Yi?"

"What are you trying to say?" Song Lingshan frowned.

"You look like you are familiar with him? Is his rank high?" Chen Yutian probed.

"Higher than yours," Song Lingshan replied mercilessly.

"Of course!" Chen Yutian replied naturally.

"..." Song Lingshan was speechless. She thought Chen Yutian didn't want to accept it, but he said 'of course'. Song Lingshan shook her head. He was too weak! He would never toughen up with his personality.

However, Song Lingshan didn't know the reason behind it. If it was someone else, Chen Yutian wouldn't necessarily lower his head, but he only admired Lin Yi!

The topic didn't seem appropriate and Chen Yutian stopped talking since Song Lingshan didn't want to talk to him. He quickly finished the food in front of him. Song Lingshan also trained in the special forces and wasn't much slower than Chen Yutian.

The two of them walked to the car park after dinner. Chen Yutian drove an Audi A6 with a police number plate, the most iconic business car. On the other side, Song Lingshan drove her Leopard.

They drove to Songshan Police Station. In Song Lingshan's office, she gave him a glass of water and sat down opposite to him on the couch, "Lieutenant Chen, you may continue now."

"Alright," Chen Yutian nodded. When he spoke about business, he changed from his usual weak and obedient image. Song Lingshan could stand him a little more than before. "We discovered the couple thief's notebook. In the notebook, the date for their next plan is recorded and the location is a tomb near Songshan," Chen Yutian said.

"Oh? There is a tomb near Songshan?" Song Lingshan was taken aback. She never heard of any cities built here during the dynasties, and the tombs around here should be small tombs of ordinary people. Tomb raiders shouldn't find it valuable.

"I'm not sure because the notebook didn't record the detailed location of the tomb. It only mentioned Songshan city, and I think it's near here," Chen Yutian said.

"You want to find the tomb? I thought this wasn't your work?" Song Lingshan didn't understand why Chen Yutian wanted to find the tomb.

"The tomb was found by three gangs of tomb raiders. The couple thief is one of the gang leaders…" Chen Yutian replied.

"So you want to catch all three gangs at the same time?" Song Lingshan wasn't stupid and immediately understood his intention.

"Yes!" Chen Yutian nodded, "Firsly, we want to catch all of them. Secondly, we want to explore the tomb with their power. If it's valuable in their eyes, it must be unusual. If they explore it first, they can provide our archeologists with information and convenience."

"Anything we can help you with?" Song Lingshan grasped the idea, and the mission was rather dangerous. They had to catch those dangerous tomb raiders and explore the tomb with them.

"According to their notes, they found it to be extremely dangerous from the first investigation. However, more treasures must be hidden behind tombs like this. So, they didn't want to give up, but they also couldn't guarantee success," Chen Yutian continued, "Then, they contacted the famous archeologists in the country, Dr. Liu Bojia…"

"Liu Bojia?" Song Lingshan paused for a few seconds, "The Liu Bojia from our Songshan city? The free explorer, Liu Bojia?"

"Yes, him!" Chen Yutian nodded and continued, "Liu Bojia is a free explorer, special reporter, and author for numerous magazine companies on the surface, but he had secret connections with tomb raiding company."

"Liu Bojia was attacked by a murderer. I think you were aware of it," Song Lingshan suddenly realized it, "You came to us for Liu Bojia?"

"That's correct. Liu Bojia is in control of Songshan police, and we must start from him if we want to find the tomb. He's the only person who knows," Chen Yutian said, "Those gangs, including the couple, all found Liu Bojia, wanting to use him to get into the tomb. But after he conducted a detailed exploration, he gave up on the collaboration since it was too dangerous. These people are afraid of Liu Bojia spreading the news or taking the treasure by himself after he declared he was going to give up, so they tried to kill him to seal his mouth!"

"So that's why! No wonder Liu Bojia never agreed to work with the police. He knew why he was attacked. If he spoke the truth, he will be pulled into it and he would be sentenced too," Song Lingshan finally understood Liu Bojia's worries. He was secretly a tomb raider too.

"Did Liu Bojia make any confessions or give you any information?" Chen Yutian asked.

"No, he refused to work with us. At first, we didn't think too much into it, and we didn't know there was so much behind it," Song Lingshan shook her head in regret. If she knew about it earlier, she would've kept Liu Bojia safe no matter what!"

"How's his condition right now? I heard from Yang Huaiyun that he's rather unwell?" Chen Yutian sighed. All the clues were concentrated on Liu Bojia. If anything happened to him, how could they find the tomb with so many mountains and bodies of water around Songshan city?

"He's still unconscious and he relies on the respirator to live…" Song Lingshan suddenly remembered Lin Yi since he agreed to treat Liu Bojia. What happened to that? Did he forget it? He could have forgotten!

Song Lingshan was bothered by the kidney trafficking company case and temporarily put Liu Bojia's case aside. She didn't ask Lin Yi about it, and Lin Yi acted as if he never agreed to it.

Song Lingshan knew that with Lin Yi's personality, it was impossible to hope that he'll contact her about it first. She had to urge him to do it.
