Wooing my Bodyguard Wife-Chapter 297 Wei Yan Tries His Luck (Pt 2)

Luo Lan and Zhong Qing stared at each other, and then back down at him with equally unimpressed faces.

"Are you joking?"

"Of course not."

"Why?" Wei Yan demanded petulantly. "I could be a great help!"

"Or you could be using this chance to sell us out to get back into Sun Jingwei's good books," Zhong Qing said imperiously, with a haughty sniff. "Do you think we are idiots?"

Thankfully, Wei Yan had the presence of mind to keep his mouth shut, even if he wanted to agree.

"We cannot trust you. Who knows, you could be working for him to trap us!" Luo Lan continued, frowning down at him. Wei Yan snarled and wriggled more angrily.

"Why would I help Sun Jingwei! I hate him!" Wei Yan exclaimed. "That bastard had everything I wanted fall into his lap! And look, I'm tied up and left on the floor, why would I ever want to help someone who did this to me? Even if I wanted to trap you, would I have time to be tied up like this for you to find me?"

"...Good point." Zhong Qing said. If it were him, he'd never agree to going back to a boss like that.

"Prove it then," Luo Lan crossed his arms. "Give us some information about Sun Jingwei that'll help us nab him."

"He's at the restaurant now. That pervert is most likely getting chewed out by his father-in-law," Wei Yan scoffed. "That's what he deserves for fucking his daughter in her room!" 𝘧𝑟𝘦𝒆w𝚎𝙗nov𝘦𝗹.𝐜o𝓶

"I see," Luo Lan and Zhong Qing shared another glance, the corners of their lips inadvertently curling into smiles. If Jingwei was in the restaurant, then the other half of the team would have gotten to him already! The mission was a success!

But that also meant they would be returning empty-handed. The team would definitely call them useless and try to take their share of the money!

"Maybe we should just bring him along when meeting up with the rest of the group." Zhong Qing muttered, gears whirling in his mind. If this was indeed Sun Jingwei's old bodyguard, he would be full of information about the Sun family. That had to be worth something!

Also, the longer he looked at Wei Yan, the more pitiful he found him. The ropes were still digging into his body, leaving reddish marks as he wriggled around, trying to get comfortable. Judging by how deep and dark they've become, he must have been bound for at least an hour!

"Yah, do you know a lot about the Sun family?" Zhong Qing asked.

"I know secrets that'll make your mother weep. Sun family's security secrets are in my hands," Wei Yan replied, knowing that they were trying to ascertain his usefulness. He had to bluff his way out of this. "Free me, and you'll get it! Think of how much you can sell those for!"

Just as Zhong Qing's hands drifted to undo the knots, Luo Lan stopped him.

"No, we can't let him go like that. What if he hits us and reports us to the police?" Luo Lan insisted.

"Eh, we'll keep him tied up when we bring him with us." Zhong Qing said, shrugging casually. "If he tries to betray us we can always get rid of him later."

"So you want us to drag his body out?" Luo Lan asked, and then sighed. "Fine, I suppose this will be my workout today. We're taking one leg each right?"

"Of course!"

"Wait what - " Before Wei Yan could complain, he found himself lifted by his legs and dragged across the floor without any care to the open window.

"Hey guys, what are you doing?" Wei Yan asked, beginning to panic. He was starting to realise that throwing his lot with this group wasn't such a good idea after all. They just didn't seem to have all their screws attached. "Are you really going to - AHHH!"

On a mental count of three, both Zhong Qing and Luo Lan lifted Wei Yan's bound body and flung him out the window as though he was a trash bag they had to dispose of! Wei Yan screamed and fell on the ground face first with a loud crack.

Tears welled up in his eyes; it had been a long time since he fell like this, like a child that couldn't control his limbs. How humiliating!

To add insult to injury, his jaw and nose ached. He might have broken something when he smacked the floor.

"Shhh why did you scream?" Luo Lan scolded disapprovingly as he leapt out of the window. Wei Yan noted that he landed on his feet, because he wasn't tied up and thrown outside like garbage. "You're attracting too much attention!"

"Well sorry," Wei Yan said sarcastically. "I didn't realise I would be thrown out of a fucking window."

"Apology accepted." Luo Lan said, not detecting his sarcasm at all.

"Okay stop talking, we need to go to the meet-up point," Zhong Qing said, "Come on, grab his legs."

"No wait - " Wei Yan choked out, but his voice was muffled by the floor.

If he thought being thrown out of a first-floor window with his limbs was humiliating enough, he was quickly realising things could be a lot worse - like right now!

These buffoons were dragging him while he was still lying flat on the floor, face first, across the bumpy cobblestones and grass. Wei Yan struggled as dirt and gravel flitted on his face, wincing as they crossed a particularly rough patch of lawn. He spat out a mouthful of ants that had ended up on him, because these morons accidentally dragged him into their path.

If he had known this would happen to him, he would have swept their yard more carefully! He would have killed off every insect!

Meanwhile, the two men were still humming cheerfully.

'At least flip me over!' Wei Yan raged to himself, mentally telegraphing his rage. 'I swear! I'll kill you both!'

As if they heard his thoughts, both men actually stopped. Wei Yan heaved a sigh of relief. But they didn't flip him over!

Strangely enough, they weren't talking either. He heard the sound of two loud thumps, and something hot splashed over his back.
