"No, I just feel you’re absolutely right!" Fingers diligently tapped three keys, causing bright sparks to explode on the screen. The BOSS in the center was shrinking, while the attackers surrounding it vigorously wielded their weapons. Xiao Sun didn’t even lift his eyelids. He was confident about this battle. "However, the opponent is not to be trifled with either. I suggest you guys search for the na Xiao Lin on Baidu."
Sun Mingwei seed to be sowhat apprehensive about this guy nad Xiao Sun. It wasn’t obvious, but his arrogant air had diminished considerably. "Could he be that Xiao Lin?"
Xiao Sun shrugged at Sun Mingwei. "Regardless, whether he is or not, running into him is your trouble; perhaps you’ve already gotten yourself into this trouble."
"Then I..."
"Let things take their course. If you’re imagining doing sothing to him, I reckon you’ll find it a bit difficult." Xiao Sun raised his head, delivering the final blow to collapse the Boss on the field, collected the treasures that fell to the ground, and left satisfied.
Sun Mingwei unwillingly packed up the cyanide. "I’m heading to the pharmacy departnt."
"Might as well stop by the dean’s office and say hello first." Xiao Sun kindly reminded him from behind.
Sun Mingwei slamd the door shut heavy-hearted, having already made up his mind, and rushed to the dean’s office.
Back at the ergency room, Xiao Ning and Li Jingyi were anxiously sitting there, their faces full of worry.
"What’s troubling these two beauties?"
Upon seeing Xiao Lin, Li Jingyi hurriedly stood up from her chair. "Xiao Ning said you went to the dical departnt; did they trouble you? Maybe I should go speak with them!"
"Don’t worry. As long as you firmly say you don’t know anything, I’ll handle the rest." Packing up the dical cases on the table, ready to clock out, Xiao Lin received a call from the dean’s office.
"Dean!"
"Xiao Xiao, I heard you asked for cyanide. Is it true?"
"Yes, is there a problem?" Xiao Lin had realized sothing internally. "I intended to use it for Dan Qing’s treatnt, to make a breakthrough in dicine. But I didn’t expect it to cause such a stir, truly sorry for that."
"Oh, is that so? Well, that’s a relief. No problem, then. You can clock out!"
Putting down the phone, Xiao Lin nodded to Li Jingyi. "It’s all settled. By the way, what’s the story with this Sun Mingwei guy?"
"I hear he’s got quite a background, a branch of the Sun Family, and a close branch!" Xiao Ning boasted, showing off her expertise; there wasn’t anything about the university hospital she wasn’t aware of.
"Sun Family? The Sun Family of the Four Great Families in Yanjing?"
"Precisely! There’s no one around here who hasn’t been ssed with by him. If it weren’t for being part of the Sun Family, soone would have beaten him into a pulp long ago, they’ve been too polite."
"A pulp, huh!" Xiao Lin suddenly burst into laughter; this image perfectly fit the description of Sun Mingwei. "I’d love to see this guy turned into a pulp too." Xiao Ning squinted as she looked at Xiao Lin’s bright smile, fascinated.
Turning on QQ, Xiao Lin steered onto the street. The figure that just flitted past him was undoubtedly Fla Swallow.
Exiting Yan University, he didn’t directly head back to the professor’s residence but parked the car behind the Yan University Gymnasium. This place was much more secluded than the front, and the people here were relatively targeted—mostly sports enthusiasts. It wasn’t quite late evening yet, hence those who preferred late workouts hadn’t co out, making the street sparsely populated except for the occasional passing vehicle.
The back seat sank slightly, and Xiao Lin saw the face of an old lady through the rearview mirror. He let out a short chuckle, "Isn’t wearing that mask hot for you?"
"I’m here to repay a favor." The old voice coming from his mouth crackled, sounding a bit awkward.
"Have you agreed to my terms, and are letting et ’Black Crow’?"
Looking at this deeply wrinkled face, Xiao Lin suddenly thought of Elder Zhang. He had to admit that such pure angelic beauty used on this man might still not suffice. He once believed that in Yanjing, the only man that could be described as beautiful was Hua Qingyi. It’s not that there weren’t handso n in Yanjing, but beauty is a word usually used for won; applying it to n would feel rather strange. However, this old lady before him could hardly be defined just by beauty.
"I’ve said before, that’s impossible." Fla Swallow seed to have found his voice, the crackling sound from his throat dissipating into his normal tone. "Zhang Teng, you should be quite familiar with him, right?"
"Yes, in your place, he’s putting down quite a sum, wanting my life!"
"He bought weapons from the dungeon and plans to take action tonight." After Fla Swallow finished speaking, he intended to leave the car.
"Now, now, you think just this much can clear your debt to ? I’m not that gullible." Xiao Lin pressed the lock button, Fla Swallow glaring at him with a bit of irritation. He hated owing favors and especially detested owing favors to opponents.
"What do you want? Although you did save my life, it doesn’t an I have to listen to you."
"Your life wasn’t saved by ; it was you yourself." Xiao Lin corrected Fla Swallow’s misstatent, "If you didn’t trust yourself, you would’ve pulled out that sword; even if ’Black Crow’ had the most extraordinary physician, it wouldn’t make a difference."
"What do you need to do? Besides taking you to et ’Black Crow’."
"You’re really stubborn!" Shaking his head, a car passed in front of him, its high beams making Xiao Lin’s eyes a bit dizzy. "The university hospital has soone nad Sun Mingwei. I’d really like to see him turned into a pulp."
Watching Fla Swallow’s face beco as smoky as a chimney in the rearview mirror, Xiao Lin suppressed his laughter. "This shouldn’t be difficult for you, right!"
"Want to just pound him into atloaf?"
"I’d love to, but that would lose the fun." Xiao Lin grinned at Fla Swallow.
"Open the door!" Turning the door lock, the car door didn’t budge.
Releasing the lock, Fla Swallow disappeared into the night without looking back, and Xiao Lin slowly started the car, driving circles around Yan University, finally parking back in the original place, quietly waiting.
The car door opened and then closed again, the rearview mirror showing empty space, Xiao Lin lit a cigarette, the red glow flickering in the dark cabin.
"Did you see the person just now?" Xiao Lin asked, looking into the rearview mirror.
"The assassin working for ’Black Crow,’ affiliated with the dungeon, known as Granny, adept at Disguise Technique, living as a wanderer."
"He killed Lion, and Lin Jiaqi’s parents were also killed by him."
"He harbors no intent to kill you." Consort Ling removed the Invisibility Cloak, revealing his delicate face, appearing exceptionally pale in the darkness. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian) to vote for it, as your support is my greatest motivation.)
