Lighting a cigarette, he smoked silently. He believed the person he saw today was Fourth Master. When did he enter the domain? From the ti at the City Police Departnt to the ’Underground City,’ had he missed anything? The phone on the table vibrated. He swiped the screen; Hua Qingyi had sent an ambiguous greeting. Right on ti, Xiao Lin knew he had to leave.
He got out of bed, tidying up the corner of the quilt, worried that the wind might chill the sleeping woman. The face he couldn’t get enough of always stirred feelings of reluctance whenever he had to leave. Turning around, naked, he entered the bathroom. The scalding water droplets washed away the fatigue from his body.
Hua Qingyi’s concern was also his concern. Since they had shown up in the morning, it ant the opponent was already fully prepared. His fingers threaded through his hair along the flowing water, the old man’s brief revelation hinted that the masked man who took away Fourth Master in the Middle East was very likely Mu Rongyun, who had already died at his hands. So was Mu Rongyun’s disguise as a forensic doctor his real na?
Xiao Lin wiped the steam-covered mirror, looking at himself until the steam once again covered the mirror. A faint noise ca from outside. He turned off the water and stepped out, drying his hair with a towel.
The weariness after weariness is always propelled by a force beyond control. Seeing Xiao Lin walk out from the building with an expression of grieved indignation, Hua Qingyi couldn’t help but tease him a bit. The car door slamd shut heavily, and he was already huddled in the driver’s seat without a sound. "Let’s first go to the City Police Departnt to handle the case cancellation, then head back to Dragon Soul." He briefly outlined the itinerary, and the listener was indifferent. "This is the disc I received yesterday; it’s a recording of the conversation between Zhang Teng and Fatty Wang."
Xiao Lin glanced at the disc, then broke it in half. "The people are dead; what do we need this for?" (To be continued. If you enjoy this work, you’re welco to visit Qidian (qidian) to vote with recomndations or monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
