"Uncle, just sing two songs. I love hearing you sing ’Truly Love You’ and ’Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies.’
"Wow! This uncle can still pull it off! These two songs are classics of classics! Can he really sing them?"
"Nonsense, such classic songs can only be sung by older people. They’ve got stories, so naturally, it feels different when they sing."
Yunyun chid in.
No one knew who, but soone had already gone to the song station and selected that classic piece by Master Huang Jiaju, ’Boundless Oceans, Vast Skies.’
"Uncle, Uncle, Uncle!"
All the girls started to cheer together.
Having no choice, Lin Zifeng could only take the microphone that Tangtang handed to him.
As the music started playing.
"Today, I watch the snow drift through the cold night, with a heart that’s grown cold, drifting far away..."
......
On the way to sending the little girl ho, the phone that Tangtang had been playing with suddenly rang.
"Uncle, it’s your phone."
"It’s so late, who would be calling now?" Lin Zifeng pondered.
"I don’t know, ah, it shows it’s Long Zaitian."
"Damn!"
Lin Zifeng pulled the car to the roadside, quickly grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button.
"Lin kid, you’ve raised troops for a thousand days, it’s ti to use them. Your mission has co again."
On the other end, Long Zaitian’s old, heavy voice cackled.
"What’s up?"
Lin Zifeng glanced at Tangtang. To prevent Liu Tangtang from knowing his identity, Lin Zifeng kept his voice calm and didn’t probe further.
"This ti, your mission will be much tougher than before. Not only is the Heavenly Martial Society involved, but also the Blood Oath Group, along with a Nightmare Master from the Jipu Family. Do you think you guys can wipe them all out? It’s a significant task."
"You’ve already found out?" Lin Zifeng asked back. It had been barely over a day since Heavenly Martial Society and Blood Oath approached him, and yet the Martial Arts Alliance had already acquired the intel, albeit a bit late.
There was a brief silence on the other end, then Long Zaitian chuckled, "Did you truly think our Martial Arts Alliance is a bunch of freeloaders? The mission is imminent, be ready to set off tomorrow night. I’ll send you their addresses later. Make sure to wipe them all out overnight!"
Long Zaitian issued a military order.
"Alright."
Lin Zifeng responded expressionlessly, then swiftly hung up the phone.
"Tangtang, uncle won’t be sending you ho now. Can you drive yourself?"
"What’s wrong, uncle?"
Just now, he was all smiles. After just one phone call, Lin Zifeng’s face drastically changed, leaving Tangtang very puzzled. Could it be sothing serious!
"It’s nothing. Uncle just got a sudden call and has sothing to attend to, won’t be back until the morning after tomorrow. You drive ho first."
Lin Zifeng smiled, removing the mory card from his phone.
"Go back and copy the recording from this, then upload it online. If that assistant director dares to threaten you, use this to threaten him. It’s always effective to use fire to fight fire."
"But uncle, aren’t you going ho with ?"
Tangtang was also a very clever girl. It was so late, soone called to ask uncle out, and just now she noticed Lin Zifeng’s solemn expression, which certainly wasn’t a good sign.
"I’m not going back, you drive ho, and be careful on the way."
After speaking, Lin Zifeng lit a cigarette and jumped out of the car.
Waving his hand, he quickly disappeared into the night.
Liu Tangtang, with her captivating eyes, looked around for a long ti until she could no longer see Lin Zifeng’s figure. Only then did the little girl drive towards ho.
After the car left, Lin Zifeng gradually erged from the night.
He had to see the little girl leave to be assured.
Standing quietly under the dim streetlights.
He lit a cigarette, took a couple of light puffs, and after opening his phone, Black Hawk’s serious voice ca through: "Brother Lin, what’s the situation?"
"Get the brothers together, there’s a mission tomorrow night." Lin Zifeng simply said.
There was a mont of silence on the other end before Black Hawk complied. Without saying anything, he imdiately gathered all the mbers of the Martial Arts Society as Lin Zifeng requested.
...
anwhile, on the other side.
The strength of the Nantian Gang had already made the won around Zhang ngjie feel not quite at ease. Now with just one power left in Zhonghai, once extinguished, all territories would be Lin Zifeng’s.
"Sister Zhang, helping him like this, have you ever thought about what benefits we might get?" soone whispered in Zhang ngjie’s ear.
Though Zhang ngjie understood her aning, she didn’t show it on her face. The current era had changed, no longer like before. The person Zhang ngjie relied on was Lin Zifeng.
If Lin Zifeng were to fall, it would be of no benefit to her.
"Benefits? Then what benefits do you want?" Zhang ngjie gave her a sidelong glance, replying irritably. She was a woman with a big-picture perspective. As long as she helped Lin Zifeng well, there would naturally be endless benefits. She understood this very well inside.
Lin Zifeng was a very capable and intelligent person. If he truly wanted to, he could handle anything well.
"Sister Zhang, I don’t know if I should say this or not."
The woman was one of Zhang ngjie’s good sisters. She had been with Zhang ngjie for quite so ti.
"Enough. I don’t want to hear it. If you trust , then trust . If you don’t, then there’s nothing more to say. Go do what you need to do. Illness enters by the mouth, trouble exits by the mouth. Sotis, even if you’ve seen a lot with your eyes, your mouth is still the safest yet most unsafe thing."
Zhang ngjie cast her a sidelong glance, then turned and left the room.
"Sister Zhang! I..."
Given the cold shoulder, the woman felt her face burning. After all, Sister Zhang was too concerned about that man. Maybe she talked too much. If she didn’t control her mouth, perhaps she wouldn’t even be able to maintain her sisterly relationship with Zhang ngjie.
After Zhang ngjie left the room, she didn’t go anywhere. She chose to find a quiet place to calm down first. After all, her mind was a bit jumbled at the mont.
Being with Lin Zifeng, truthfully, more than one sister had said this. No matter how tolerant she was, she couldn’t let others talk about her man like this or that.
The night wind blew... leaves fluttered down the dim, soon-to-be-dark streets. She sat alone on the flowerbed edge, watching the people coming and going on the street under the darkening sky.
There was actually a bit of a sigh in her heart, an inexplicable sense of strangeness.
She sat quietly on the roadside flower bed, seriously appreciating everything happening around her. To be honest, Zhang ngjie had lived her life in a rapidly fast pace, without really stopping to enjoy and savor the flavors of life.
Bringing up her younger sister, she didn’t know how much energy that consud. Now, her sister had grown up. She also had a bunch of sisters who depended on her for a living.
It’s imaginable how heavy and vast the pressure on her shoulders was.
Thinking about it, her life wasn’t that good after all, was it?
Zhang ngjie shook her head, a few traces of bitter smiles erging on her fair and pretty face.
Looking at the endless waves of people passing by, her heart felt as if it had been pierced by a sharp knife. How she longed for those ordinary, happy people.
Even though most ordinary people might not have money, power, or influence. Yet, it was this ordinariness and simplicity that Zhang ngjie especially yearned for.
