Because I Cannot Hurt You

Chapter 281 - A Deadly Plan

Zizi widened her eyes in surprise. Yunru had firmly gripped her in his arms as he rested his forehead on her shoulder. Before she could ask him anything, she saw his shoulders slightly tremble and then felt a warm tear fall on her skin.

She stiffened.

"H-hey Yunru...why are you crying?" She bit her lip hard. "Did I say something wrong?"

"...No. You said nothing wrong."

She pursed her lips. She hated the sight when he cried. It made her feel as if somebody was twisting her heart. She glared at Chief Xu Hui. "Look what you did! You made my fiance cry! I am telling you, I am not letting you go for this! How dare you!"

Chief Xu Hui - "..."

The other officers - "!!!"

Yunru softly chuckled. "They didn't, silly. It's you."

!!!

"But you just said that I did nothing wroooong…" she whined.

"Who told you to say such nice words and make me cry?"

"Hmph. You are crying because you realize that you have been indeed suffering all this time because of these shitty things. It's still this horrible system's fault!"

She pulled his head and furiously started patting him. "There, there. You have nothing to fear with Han Zizi is here. I will make sure I throw away all these useless things that are making your life hard."

The others were speechless seeing their public display of affection, but they had to admit that her words struck them hard.

Every time, they only thought about their country but failed to remember that they were humans too and they also longed to live a normal life with their families.

Chief Hu Dui raised his hands and started clapping. A moment later, the others joined him too and everybody cheered hard for her.

Yunru released her and stared at her in a stupor. He felt his heart drum in his chest as he saw her smile. Suddenly, he felt as if he could only see her and nobody else. Amidst the loud cheers, he felt as if he could clearly only hear her voice. He gazed into her deep black eyes and felt himself suck into them. The tip of his ears turned slightly red upon recalling how she stood up for him and then he felt a strong urge to…kiss her.

He touched the back of his neck and quickly looked away.

Zizi beamed. "Oh, oh! You are blushing! You are doing it again. You touch the back of your neck when you feel embarrassed right?"

Yunru coughed.

The others laughed hard seeing a blushing Soo Yunru.

Chief Xu Hui gratefully said, "Thank you, Miss Han. You have indeed brought some very important points to our notice that we had forgotten."

She nodded.

Some of the officers had tears in their eyes.

"I have been on the post for six months now, away from my wife who lives in another city. Damn I am going straight to her after this conference!"

"I had missed my daughter's parents conference last time," one of the cops wiped his eyes. "But not this time. I don't want to miss seeing my daughter grow up."

"My mom has been telling me how she misses me so much, but I couldn't do anything before my work. It's time to be a filial daughter now. I couldn't have become a cop without her support."

Zizi heard the officers talking to each other and nodded in satisfaction.

Good. Family time is important too!

After the conference, Yunru and Zizi were completely surrounded by everybody. They praised Zizi so much that she was overwhelmed to accommodate all their feelings.

"Damn Soo Yunru, you are so lucky to have her as your fiance."

"You two look so good together!"

Her ears instantly perked up and she grinned. "Really?"

"Of course!"

Yunru's heart skipped a beat. He stared at her as his lips curved into a smile.

As they were finally left alone, Zizi proudly stood tall. "See? We look good together."

"...Hm."

She shyly said, "We even got the blessings of all your fellow officers."

"En…"

"So do you give your blessing to our relationship too and finally make me your girlfriend?"

"Yes…"

Zizi froze. She jerked her head towards him and asked, "What did you say?"

Yunru broke out of his stupor and realized that he was totally lost in her. "U-umm...I don't-"

"No, you definitely said yes!" She brightened. "That means-"

Her phone buzzed and she saw Zhiyuan's incoming call.

"Oof. It's bro. Wait for me. I will come back. But don't you dare go back on your yes!"

She turned, but Yunru quickly held her wrist. He didn't know why he suddenly did that.

"...Come soon," he said.

He didn't know why he said that, but he didn't want her to leave.

Zizi blinked her eyes. "Of course, silly. I will be right back. And then I will be ready to hear your yes once again," she grinned.

Yunru watched her go and her name escaped his lips.

"Zizi…"

---

"Yes, bro. I am fine," she rolled her eyes.

"You are not troubling Yunru, right?" Zhiyuan chuckled.

"You!"

From the corner of her eye, she saw a figure enter a corridor and she frowned.

He looks familiar…

"Bro, I will call you back."

"Okay. Take care."

Zizi slowly followed him and saw him suspiciously enter a room.

Where have I seen him?

She got a bad feeling about it, so she tried to know more about it. She sneakily put her ear on the door and heard some voices.

"...Heh. That head Yin Liu is knocked out cold. We have a clear way to execute our plan."

"These fucking officers are always like a thorn to our plans! But not anymore~ The best officers are assembled here. How can we miss such a golden chance to get rid of them in one swoop?"

"Poor cops don't even know that we have planted a bomb here. KABOOM! And everybody goes to hell! Hahaha!"

Zizi froze. She let out a sharp, silent gasp.

B-Bomb blast?

Her face turned instantly pale, and she felt short of breath. Suddenly, she remembered that she had seen the man in the police station on the most wanted criminal list. His picture was hung there.

She tremblingly took a step back.

Yunru…I have to tell this to Yunru...I have to warn him o-or everybody will die!

But then something suddenly struck her hard at the back of her head.

"Ahh!!"

She clutched her head in pain and felt her consciousness fading away.

Painful...Yunru...Bomb…Run...

Tears pooled in her eyes and before she completely fainted, the last words escaped her lips.

"Please don't die…"
