Wooing my Bodyguard Wife

"Thank you for doing your job," Tai Xuan said, wiping his sweaty forehead in relief. Finally something was going right! Good old dependable Ming Guang!

If they all survived, he would cook him a good meal with all his favourite foods. Even if Sun Jingwei was missing, at least his sister was safe.

"I'll guard the door instead," Tai Xuan continued. "Please go and look for my Mom. She needs your help. Apparently those robbers were kidnappers, and they were trying to catch Sun Jingwei and my sister."

"Very well." Ming Guang nodded, frowning at the update. Kidnappers were more troublesome to deal with. "How is your mother faring? Any injuries?"

Strangely enough, Tai Xuan's face blanked, as though he was repressing a memory. He let out a chuckle, but there was no amusement in it.

"Injuries… ha… My mom is perfectly fine. I'd be more worried about the kidnappers."

Ming Guang raised an eyebrow. How strange.

"Alright, I'll look for her. Stay with your sister."

Ming Guang instructed, before rushing towards the bedroom, while Tai Xuan knocked on the bathroom door to let Xue Ning know the coast was clear. It was just like when one of them got grounded as kids, the other would purposely knock on their room door as a discrete signal that the coast was clear.

"Meimei, are you still alive in there?"

"Let me out!" Xue Ning whined, knocking back. "Ge! Mom was screaming! I need to help!"

"Don't be stupid, Mom has it covered," Tai Xuan said, shuddering as he recalled the scene he walked in on. "Besides, you're the one they are trying to kidnap, so you shouldn't make their jobs easier! You and that stupid boyfriend of yours… when I see him again I'm going to wring is fucking neck." Tai Xuan grumbled.

If he had known Sun Jingwei would bring this much trouble to his home, he would have just knocked him out and made his bodyguards send him back home!

"They're out for Jingwei?" His sister exclaimed. "Where is he now? Is he alright?"

"Excuse me? Did you forget the part where I said that 'you're the one they are trying to kidnap'?" Tai Xuan repeated, his eyebrow twitching. "Stop caring so much about that idiot and start caring more about yourself!"

"So is Jingwei alright? Where is he?" Xue Ning repeated, trying to escape. She needed to find him to make sure he was fine. If someone had followed him all the way out here to her family's home to kidnap him, they must really want him to fall into their hands!

She could only hope it wasn't Wu Shang Jing. If someone as deranged as him was making more overt moves to capture Jingwei, she would be worried to death!

"How would I know?" Tai Xuan replied grumpily. "Dad took him to the restaurant to have a talk, remember? So it should be safe. Man, if I were Dad, I'd make you break up right now. Look at the mess we're pulled into thanks to him! If you saw the state of your room, you'd vomit blood."

"My room? They were in my room?" Xue Ning felt goosebumps form on her arms. So she had been so close to being taken. If she had finished showering and went back into her room to rest, she would have been kidnapped with a towel wrapped around her!

Then… the glint in the bushes. The kidnappers were there all along, watching her. Her face paled, and she wanted to brain her head against the bathroom tiles. Why hadn't she closed her bedroom window? Stupid, stupid, stupid!

"It was lucky Mom caught them," Tai Xuan said, even if part of him wondered how his mom knew. "If not, we'd be receiving your ransom note! And we're broke you know!"

"Yeah…" Xue Ning said, falling silent. Her stomach churned with nausea. Now, she could only hope that Jingwei and her father were safe.

"Mrs Li, you were looking for me?" Ming Guang asked cautiously as he peered into Li Xue Ning's bedroom. A lifetime of training as a professional bodyguard allowed him to take in the gory sight without anything more than a cursory blink, even as a part of him wondered how Mrs Li could have managed to take down two fully-grown men on her own.

"Yes, Ming Guang, just the man I wanted to see." Yue Niang said, handing him a phone. "According to this trespasser - " she shot Ding Fei a thoroughly scathing look that made his toes quake in his boots - "they're here to kidnap Sun Jingwei and my daughter."

"Everyone knows a team of two is too small for such a task, hence I suspect there are more men in our house. I need you to flush them out. And then track the person responsible for this."

Ming Guang nodded instinctively even if she wasn't his superior. There was a question at the tip of his tongue. He wanted to know how Mrs Li knew so much about the logistics of kidnapping, but then he decided to swallow it down.

Both injured men were missing an eye. Li Yue Niang held a bloody stake in her hand. Contrary to popular belief, it took a lot of strength to permanently injure the insides of the eye, since it was filled with muscles.

The fact that Li Yue Niang managed such a feat twice meant that Ming Guang was clearly in the presence of a professional!

Of course, he didn't know if she was a professional bodyguard or a hitman. He didn't want to find out either.

"Yes Mrs Li," he bowed respectfully instead, taking the phone with both of his hands. "I'll do as you say."

MEANWHILE…

The two men that were skulking around the house like a pair of rats froze when they heard a scream ring through the air, claiming there were robbers in the house.

They stared at each other in horror - their companions had been discovered too quickly! In such a short time, they hadn't managed to find Sun Jingwei yet. Li Xue Ning was also still stuck in the shower.

"What do we do?" Luo Lan whispered to him in panic. "I think we should go -"

"We can't!" Zhong Qing shook his head. "If we go back empty-handed, we won't get a cut of the money!"

"But Sir has already been discovered!"

"So? It's just the Mom, and this is Sir! He and Yuan Huang definitely can deal with one middle-aged woman. They'll use her as a hostage to trade for Li Xue Ning when she enters her room after bathing! We just need to wait for Ding Fei to text us."

"....You're right," Luo Lan said, seeing the wisdom of his words. "There's no way this girl wouldn't save her mother!"

"Of course I'm right," Zhong Qing said proudly, even though he was still in hiding, crouched down behind the kitchen counter along with Luo Lan. "So our job now is to focus on getting Sun Jingwei."

"Then why are we in the kitchen?" Luo Lan asked. "We should be waiting outside to nab him when he leaves for the night!"

"Leave for the night? Are you crazy?" Zhong Qing stared at Luo Lan as though he was stupid. "He's here to visit the in-laws. Of course he'd be sleeping here! How can they make him sleep outside?"

"But it's not proper," Luo Lan whispered disapprovingly. "How can they stay together before marriage? So immoral. Do her parents not care?" The irony of Luo Lan's words completely escaped his notice.

"I don't know what her parents think, but I definitely don't." Zhong Qing grumbled, giving Luo Lan a judgemental look. "We're kidnappers. Not marriage counsellors or parenting experts. Focus on the mission!"

With this statement, Luo Lan reluctantly fell silent and decided to keep an eye out for their target.

According to Zhong Qing's genius intellect, he predicted that Sun Jingwei would definitely visit the kitchen for a snack or a drink of water. From all he had read online, this man seemed to have a voracious appetite!

When he and Luo Lan capture and deliver Sun Jingwei, the money they'd receive from their client would change their lives!

Now, all they needed to do was wait.

The sounds of screaming continued to echo throughout the house, along with the sound of objects being flung around. Zhong Qing's body twitched in curiosity; he wanted to take a look, but he forced himself to remain still. His teammates were fine! They definitely weren't going to lose to one woman!

Sure enough, they received a text from Ding Fei. It simply said 'Target Secured.' As expected from their leader. He was so reliable!

"See, told you we have nothing to worry about," Zhong Qing bragged. "Now that we got one-half of the couple, the other half will definitely come running."

Of course, there was no way those two goons who had remained crouched down in hiding knew that they were fooled. While they were hidden from view, it also meant that they had a limited view of what was happening!

They couldn't know what was happening in the rest of the house - and even if they stumbled upon the gory scene, they wouldn't be able to believe their eyes.

Which made them perfect sitting ducks!
