บท 3251: Chapter 3234: Guarding_1
Ke Meng Shen Ji might have held back his anger, but that didn't mean Commissioner Zhi Lin could restrain himself, he scolded mercilessly, "What a waste, you were lucky enough to survive, yet you didn't even catch a glimpse of the assailant's face!"
"I really don't know what use you are!"
They had hurried over here, thinking that this prince would provide some crucial clue, but now he said he saw nothing!
How could they tolerate this??
It was as if they had been played for fools!
Hearing this roar of anger, the prince was shocked into silence, he silently bowed his head, his body trembling violently but not daring to retort...
He had to remember, as a prince of the Tian Dou Imperial Family, his status was exceedingly noble – this was the first time he had ever been subjected to such scolding!
Especially when the person scolding him was a teacher from the Heaven Dou Royal Academy!!
Bai Baoshan, standing beside him, grabbed the former and communicated with his spiritual power, "Zhi Lin, calm down! No matter what, he's still a prince, how could you speak such vulgar words!"
"If this gets out, your position as a teacher might not be safe!"
However, Zhi Lin pushed away his hand and said coldly, "If I was afraid of losing my position as a teacher, I wouldn't have openly cursed him just now!"
"After all, capturing the assailant is ultimately for the sake of these princes' safety. If they don't take their own safety seriously, who will?"
Bai Baoshan sighed and thought to himself, "That's true... Since he survived the attacker's assault, it's unreasonable that he couldn't see the attacker's face clearly!"
Nonetheless, the other party was still a prince, and some respect had to be offered, otherwise they would offend the royal household!!
Meng Shenji glanced at the two men and interrupted, "Enough, stop arguing."
Then, he shifted his gaze back to the prince lying in the bed, trying to make his tone as gentle as possible...
"Prince, you said you didn't see the assailant's face clearly; I can understand that, but did you notice anything unique about the person?"
Not seeing the face clearly didn't mean he hadn't seen anything else!
As long as they could find something decisive, they could find the assailant!
The prince swallowed, and said tentatively, "Give me a moment… let me think.."
After speaking, he began to desperately recall in his mind...
Soon, as if he had grasped something, he said excitedly, "It's the hair, the one who attacked me had long hair, and it was a woman!!"
As soon as he said this, Meng Shenji and the others all showed expressions of joy...
The assailant was not only a woman but also had long hair. Though these two clues were quite general, they significantly narrowed the range of investigation!!
After all, within the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, there weren't many female teachers with great strength!!
Thereupon, Meng Shenji took a deep breath and comforted softly, "Prince, rest assured and heal here. We will arrange for a few teachers to guard outside specially, we will ensure your safety!"
However, this seemed to frighten the man, who said in alarm, "No... No way, didn't you just say that the assailant might be a teacher from the academy? What if they make a move against me again?"
Now when he looked at anyone, he saw a potential assailant; how could he be at ease with these teachers protecting him?
After hearing this, Meng Shenji fell silent...
Indeed, since the former had escaped death, the assailant might come back to kill the witness!!
Having academy teachers as protectors didn't necessarily guarantee safety!
Thinking this, he turned his eyes to Zhi Lin beside him and said solemnly, "Zhi Lin!"
Zhi Lin raised an eyebrow, "What's the matter?"
The other party didn't answer but signaled with his eyes…
Zhi Lin first felt some confusion, then his eyes widened as he said, "Wait… wait, you don't mean to tell me that I'm supposed to protect this guy, do you??"
Meng Shenji's response was noncommittal, "That's right, since this prince doesn't trust the academy's teachers, then you, as the commissioner, should protect him. That way, he should have no objections!"
Zhi Lin was, of course, reluctant to agree and immediately retorted, "Why should I protect this guy? Why isn't it you doing this?"
"I need to report to Prince Xue Xing, so I don't have the time!"
Bai Baoshan simply shrugged his shoulders, "I am not a direct-attack class or control-class Soul Master, I don't have much combat ability. If we encounter the killer, I won't be able to catch him!"
"So, it falls to you, Zhi Lin!"
A dark cloud seemed to fall on Zhi Lin's forehead as he gritted his teeth, "You two bastards!!"
He could be certain, these two had conspired beforehand, which was why they dumped this troublesome matter on him!
Watching this scene, the prince quickly clasped his fists and said, "Thank… thank you, Commissioner Zhi Lin! I'm counting on you to protect me!"
As a commissioner, his strength was stronger than that of an average teacher, and he was trustworthy; naturally, the prince couldn't miss this opportunity!
Otherwise, he might very well end up a corpse!
That remark only irked Zhi Lin further, "What are you thanking me for, I haven't agreed to protect you yet!"
But the prince was not annoyed; instead, he eagerly said, "Commissioner Zhi Lin, if you agree, I'll speak highly of you in front of my father!!"
Although he wasn't favored, he was still a prince, and that carried a certain weight!
Zhi Lin paused, then propped his chin on his hand and started to ponder...
After a long moment, he finally nodded, "Alright, seeing as how much you trust me, kid, I'll reluctantly agree to protect you."
He paused, then warned, "But let me say this upfront, if you try to leave when I'm not looking and end up dead, don't blame me!"
"Absolutely, I will follow your orders, Commissioner Zhi Lin!"
Survival was more important than anything else!!
Seeing that Zhi Lin finally agreed, Meng Shenji breathed a sigh of relief, "Since that's settled, Zhi Lin, you stay here to protect him. We'll handle the rest of the matters!"
Without Zhi Lin making trouble, their subsequent actions would go much smoother!
Zhi Lin glared at him resentfully, "Though I feel like you're intentionally trying to leave me out, I'll let it slide this time… I can't be bothered to argue with you!"
"Now go ahead, I've got it from here!"
Meng Shenji and Bai Baoshan exchanged a glance, gestured briefly, and then turned to leave…
Only after their presence had completely vanished did the prince chuckle foolishly, "Heh heh… Commissioner Zhi Lin, could you… could I ask you to stay inside the room? I'm afraid…"
Zhi Lin felt a chill in his heart and rejected the request without hesitation...
"Staying in the room, do you seriously think I'm your guard??"
"I'll be outside later; if anything happens, call me immediately!"
With that, he didn't wait for the prince's response and left the room…
The latter became panicked and hurriedly followed, "Commissioner Zhi Lin, wait for me!!"
