Wei Qimian grumbled coquettishly, “Why do you keep thinking about such naughty things every day?”
“Ahem.” Lin Huai cleared his throat. “This simply proves that I’m a normal man. Wouldn’t you be afraid if I keep thinking of men instead?”
“Hmph. Either way, I think that you’re a lecher,” retorted Wei Qimian with a sigh. “Actually, I don’t really want you to continue getting involved in these affairs of the underworld.”
“Well, you’ve got to do something about it once you’re involved.”
“Ugh, you people only know that you’ve got to do something about it once you’re involved. The way I see it, this is an excuse you guys have made for yourselves,” Wei Qimian replied. She then asked, “How’s the environment over there? Are you used to staying there?”
“It’s fine,” Lin Huai answered with a smile. “After all, H City is the provincial capital, so it’s better than Tongcheng City in all aspects. I’m staying in an ordinary
Feng Baihui mumbled with a coquettish snort, “She just wants the money, yet she has to speak in such pleasing terms. The ladies here are so hypocritical when they speak.”Fortunately, the music here was quite loud, so the beauty in Lin Huai’s arms couldn’t hear what Feng Baihui said. However, Lin Huai heard every word Feng Baihui said and was annoyed deep down inside. What’s Feng Baihui doing here? Why do I feel like she’s here to stir up trouble?Even so, he couldn’t care less about Feng Baihui. Indeed, Feng Baihui was very gorgeous; although the woman in his arms was the prettiest among all these hostesses with her gorgeous looks and seductive figure, Lin Huai felt that Feng Baihui was definitely more delicately beautiful by comparison. However, Feng Baihui was a young girl from a good family. Lin Huai didn’t want to mess with such a girl, not to mention that Feng Baihui was the daughter of a gang leader. He’d only make another enemy by doing so, a
Yangyang didn’t have the energy she had earlier once she sat down; she merely sat there feeling somewhat uneasy.Feng Baihui typically mocked Yangyang any chance she got, but it was clear that Feng Baihui was also a soft-hearted person. When she saw this, she immediately said to Yangyang, “You don’t need to be afraid. Just relax—Lin Huai is an incredible man. If these guys come over to heckle you later on, he’ll definitely pummel them until they run.”Yangyang still maintained her expression of glumness. Feng Baihuai looked at her while poking her head out a bit so that Lin Huai wouldn’t obscure her. “Why are you still worried about this? Why haven’t you stopped sulking? Even I can whoop these guys and make them run with their tails between their legs, never mind Brother Huai.”Feng Baihui wasn’t well-versed with the ways of the world, and there were some things that she couldn’t imagine. On the other hand, the others didn’t care or feel
By the time Lin Huai and the others came out of the karaoke joint, no one dared to look down on him. Even Geng Zhiming—who had been rather receptive toward Lin Huai in the first place—treated him even better with much more respect now. Geng Zhiming’s polite behavior earlier was due to his duty as a good host and also because of his respect for Wei Sihai. However, he didn’t particularly respect Lin Huai’s strength. Now, though, Geng Zhiming’s enthusiastic treatment toward Lin Huai was mainly because he respected Lin Huai’s abilities.When Lin Huai returned to his room at the hotel later, it was already late at night. He was about to sleep when the doorbell to his room suddenly rang. Lin Huai hastily went to open the door, only to find Feng Baihui standing outside. Lin Huai froze for a moment before he asked her curiously, “It’s already late at night, so why are you here to see me? Don’t tell me that you’re here to spend the night with me? Let me ask you this—why h
Similarly, Geng Zhiming had an awkward look on his face; he was a little unsure of what to say.Just then, Lin Huai spoke up. “Okay, okay. Oftentimes, underworld dealings can get a little complicated; we understand. Brother Ming, we know that this has nothing to do with you. You don’t have to be sheepish about it.”Geng Zhiming sighed. “Lin Huai, I’ve already told Brother Hao about you. He said that he can meet you on Friday and discuss how he’s going to introduce you to The General.”Lin Huai’s heart jolted, but then he saw Geng Zhiming sighing gently as he spoke—he could already guess what Geng Zhiming meant by that. Lin Huai smiled and said, “Don’t worry; Uncle Wei told us everything when he visited last time, so we’ve brought everything that we should.”Ma Zhenhao obviously wanted to get some benefits for himself before he introduced Lin Huai to The General. Lin Huai hadn’t expected a man of such rank like him to be such
The middle-aged man looked at Lin Huai and asked, “You are?”Lin Huai answered politely, “Hi, Uncle Feng. I’m Lin Huai, a friend of Feng Baihui.” Since he was here to help, he naturally had to introduce himself as a friend.The middle-aged man nodded. He then asked, “I’m Feng Kun. Is your surname Lin?”“Yes, it is. What’s the matter, Uncle Feng?”“Nothing.” However, Feng Kun had a complicated look in his eyes. He explained, “I once met a grandmaster. You look a bit like him; I don’t know what his surname is, and he never told me either.”“Oh, okay,” Lin Huai replied, but he didn’t give it much thought since too many people in this world resembled each other.Feng Kun then asked, “Just now, my daughter said that you’re here to help. What does that mean?”Feng Baihui answered, “Dad, I crushed Zhou Wenhan’s member under my foot…”“Zhou Wenhan?” Feng Kun was startled for a mome
Zhang Tianba still looked unconvinced, but Feng Kun had slowly grown in confidence. Since he was the leader of a gang, Feng Kun was a wise person. Naturally, he was able to judge how advantageous Lin Huai’s scheme was upon listening to the latter’s words. He couldn’t help but thank his lucky stars in his mind; had Lin Huai not stayed on this day, they probably couldn’t have come up with these ideas.Just then, Lin Huai said, “All right, that’s all for now. You guys may prepare the stuff and spread the false stories first. It’s 2.00PM right now; please find somewhere spacious and gather everyone at 5.00PM.”“Okay,” replied Feng Kun. Then, he looked at Zhang Tianba and ordered, “Make the arrangements.”“Yes, Faction Head Feng!” agreed Zhang Tianba as he stood up and left to get things done. Despite his dislike for Lin Huai, he was capable of making the arrangements.Feng Kun then turned to look at Lin Huai before he suddenly s
Soon, it was 5.00PM; the members gathered in a disused factory as Lin Huai ordered dinner for everyone. After everyone finished their meals, Lin Huai looked at their resolute expression and gave a knowing smile. Then, he said loudly, “Everyone must have heard about this; in fact, all of you should know by now that this fight is a matter of life and death even without me telling you guys. If we win, the Rat Gang will rocket to fame. Also, you guys will command respect from now on when you all go out, and you guys will never be ridiculed by those in the underworld again for being mean people who resort to petty tricks. If you guys lose, the outcome is simple—each of you will have one of your legs broken. I’m telling you that Liu Haoran is notorious in the underworld for his mercilessness and cruelty. He will never show mercy to anyone, nor will he ever let you off even if you guys surrender in the end.”These people had previously heard of the false stories Lin Hua
Everyone else fell silent as they hesitated; even Zhang Tianba, the simpleton, came to agree with Lin Huai. He couldn’t find the words to refute him, so he put on a dissatisfied expression. Feng Kun said, “You’ve got a point, Lin Huai. Well, what do you think?”“We should just use those guys as a friendly greeting,” Lin Huai replied. “Get someone to send them back to Liu Haoran’s territory and return them politely. In fact, we must make it as grand as possible when we send them back—make sure that everyone knows about it.”“F*ck! How embarrassing it’d be for us, though,” Zhang Tianba disagreed a little reluctantly. “What if everyone thinks that we’ve chickened out?”Lin Huai returned his question with another. He said, “Do you think that it’d help to be head-on? Is your personal reputation more important than the wellbeing of the faction? Go ahead and fight Liu Haoran if you have nothing on your shoulders, but right now, yo
