C79

The cold wind of the dark night howled, mixing with the drizzling rain. The raindrops from the cold wind beat against the windows mercilessly, creating a loud crackling sound in the room.

The large hotel apartment was eerily quiet. Not even a single lamppost was lit inside, and the darkness inside was frightening. A man was standing by the window with his arms around his shoulders. Four or five cigarette butts were already burning in the glass ashtray on the windowsill, and the rain outside was pouring down. Looking down from the tall building, there were only a few pedestrians, even with umbrellas, whose clothes were mostly wet.

Bang, bang, bang. Several knocks on the door were slow and heavy.

The moment the door was opened, the bright light of the hotel corridor came shining in. After that, the door was closed, and although it was only for a split-second, it clearly showed the back of the man in front of the window. He was thin and intangible, with half-white hair and a stooped body.

The one who walked in was an extremely young and valiant man. His expression was cold and indifferent. As he walked, he sighed and said, "Didn't you say you can't open the curtains? How many people want to find you now?"

The skinny middle-aged man sucked on his cigarette and said hoarsely, "It's raining so heavily, no one would dare to go out and look for someone in this kind of weather. Look, I don't even dare to turn on the lights.

The extremely young man stood against the wall and covered himself behind the curtain. He said, "Then you still have to be careful."

The middle-aged man blew out a smoke ring, "I am just... "I want to see people."

In order to prevent his footprints from being discovered, he had not stepped out of the room for more than a month, just like a living dead person. No one knew of his existence, and just like him, he had no contact with anyone else, not even opening the curtains during the day. Only during the night would he be able to peek out of the window a few times.

The young man said, "Endure it for now." He closed the curtain in a smooth manner, not leaving the slightest gap.

The sudden brightness made the middle-aged man uncomfortable. Half of his eyes were covered as he squinted for a while; his face was pale as a result of not having seen the sunlight for a long time. Half of his hair was gray, and he looked very old.

And the appearance of the young man was completely exposed under the light. His features were clearly defined, his thin lips were ice-cold, and his eyes were pitch black. The real Lin Zixia was there.

The middle-aged man asked with a hoarse voice, "When can I go out for a walk? It's very depressing to be locked in the house."

Lin Zixia glanced at him, "Did you know that she didn't find you? In a fit of anger, she sent a few more people to scout around."

The middle-aged man sucked on his cigarette and said, "This little girl, I wonder who she is. She is really stubborn." With that, he wiped his face and revealed a dry, bitter smile, "If I hadn't been hiding at the gate and refused to go out, according to the personality of the people outside, I'm afraid they would have found me long ago."

"Yeah, so we have to hurry up." Lin Zixia continued, "They must be dealt a fatal blow, never to turn back."

"Before that …" The middle-aged man hesitated for a moment, "Should we reveal this to her, or something bad might happen in the end?"

Lin Zixia raised his eyebrows and slowed down his speech. "What, you're going to be soft-hearted?"

The middle-aged man's crooked body shrank back into a ball and became even more crowded. Lin Xia would always use words to bully him, but he just couldn't retort, so he simply twitched his mouth and didn't say anything.

"Too late." Lin Zixia said indifferently, "I came directly from the Pavilion Inn Club. I have already handed over the tender for cooperation to them."

At this point, the middle-aged man took a few deep breaths and said, "You decide. This time, I will definitely not spoil your plan."

Lin Zixia nodded. "That's for the best." If there are any more incidents, the old man at home will invite you over to gather. "

The old man he was speaking of was the Lin Clan's Chairman.

The middle-aged man spat out, "I might not be able to go if he invites me over."

"That's not up to you." Lin Zixia said without any mercy.

"He couldn't find me anyway, and that old fogey of yours isn't anything good either. He's very cunning …" The middle-aged man thought of the past and wanted to curse a few more times. Upon seeing Lin Zixia's unfriendly face, he hurriedly changed his words and shrank back into the sofa. "Alright, I understand. He is not someone I can provoke. I understand."

"It's good that you understand. I've thought about it. You don't need to interfere in this project, just stay here honestly and don't go anywhere." Lin Zixia said.

The middle-aged man was shocked, "Why! Didn't we say that we would have a share? "

Lin Zixia frowned and said, "Think about what happened last time when you secretly made a decision to intervene. I had made it clear that I could only observe from the sidelines and not interfere. He had been possessed! Not only did you manage to find Shen Yunda, you even dragged Lin Min'er into the water.

The middle-aged man immediately lost his courage and stuttered, "I, I …" I wasn't the one who dragged Lin Min'er into this mess. I had to blame that daughter of the Shen family for finding out about her matters before she was adopted by the family, and in the end, they found out about me. "I originally wanted to hide from the Shen family, but when I saw Qin Zheng's stance, didn't I think that I could rope him into an alliance and earn a sum of money? Thus, I set up this trap, attracting all of them. But who would have thought …"

The middle-aged man shook his hand and knocked away the cigarette ash. Who would have thought that the daughter of the Shen family would be so vicious and that Qin Zheng would be useless. He was frightened by Shen Yun Da's desperate actions and followed her out of the country.

Recalling what happened a few months ago, he couldn't help but look at Lin Zixia.

Lin Zixia was furious at him, and with a cold and gloomy face, he slammed the table against the television, almost killing him. Now that he thought about it, he could not help but back off.

Lin Zixia stared at him, "Forget it, don't bring up what happened before. From now on, you have to do what I tell you, and you can't go anywhere. "

The middle-aged man muttered, "I'll just listen to you." When he had finished his cigarette, he bent down to reach the unopened packet of tobacco at the bottom of the table.

Lin Zixia frowned slightly and said, "You should stop smoking."

The middle-aged man immediately retracted his hand, and rubbed his sallow hand as if in discomfort. "I will try my best to endure." He had just stopped drinking, but after drinking, he felt that there was something wrong with it. He felt uneasy all over and so, in order to divert his attention, he took a long drag on his cigarette.

"Let's get down to business." Lin Zixia began to tell him about the situation outside and the current situation.

They were getting closer and closer to the center of the storm. The middle-aged man in the room listened carefully, his eyes downcast. He was clearly over twenty years older than Lin Zixia, but this half-a-hundred man was extremely obedient to Lin Zixia's words, even showing some fear.

Although Lin Zixia no longer allowed him to go out to participate in the plan, he did not hide what had happened outside from him.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man revealed a bitter expression, "You even mocked me for being soft-hearted. I'm really afraid that you won't be able to kill me in the end."

"Nope." Lin Zixia was resolute and decisive, and his eyes revealed a sinister light. He had concealed his true nature for too long, and could no longer hold himself back.

No matter what he said, he wouldn't give up. At this moment, he definitely couldn't be soft-hearted, and he definitely wouldn't be soft-hearted either. He had to take back everything that belonged to them at any cost, and she, would understand sooner or later.
