Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 847: Chapter 867 Heavenly Gate K-Legend

”Do you still believe your senior brother is real now?”

Lin Zifeng, with a cigarette in his mouth, sat opposite her. His tone seemed somewhat sarcastic.

”Hey, Lin Zifeng, you don’t have to discourage me at this time, right? Even if you’ve seen through it, do you need to mock me like this? You’re a man, and I’m just a regular woman; of course, there’s a difference.”

Seeing Lin Zifeng’s words had a deeper meaning, Nangong Bing’s ears felt hot, and she immediately retorted.

”Hehe, my lady, how could I possibly mock you? You know the situation at that time. If I hadn’t acted, once we got to Zhonghai, even Tianyu Group would have been ruined by him. Think about it, wasn’t he always claiming to be the general manager? If he really returned to Zhonghai and you made him the general manager, not only would Tianyu Group be destroyed, but your position as president might not be secure either.”

”Wha-what’s his situation now?” Nangong Bing asked, instinctively shrinking her neck after hearing Lin Zifeng’s vivid description.

Just as Lin Zifeng said, once the fake Gao Yuan returned to Zhonghai, he would surely insist on being made general manager. If the position of general manager fell into his hands, the consequences would be unimaginable.

”Dead.”

Lin Zifeng shrugged casually.

”What! Dead! How did he die?”

”I killed him!”

”...”

Nangong Bing didn’t know what to say.

”What? Don’t believe it?” Lin Zifeng asked.

”Ah!?”

Nangong Bing’s expression was bewildered, a hint of loss flashed across her delicate face, and she furrowed her alluring brows: ”Then... how did you know he was fake? Did you already realize he was fake when you first met?”

”Yes.” Lin Zifeng didn’t deny it.

”Then what about my senior brother? Was he killed?” The woman widened her eyes, and a touch of moisture flashed in the corner.

Back at Stanford University, their relationship was very good, having gone through some small difficulties and twists together.

However, later Nangong Bing returned to the country, inheriting her father’s business, while Gao Yuan continued to stay at Stanford University for further studies.

Unexpectedly, after just a year and a half, someone else came back!

”I think that’s likely.” Lin Zifeng nodded, not denying it, and continued, ”People targeted by Shura almost never survive.”

”Shura? Lin Zifeng, can you tell me what’s really going on? I feel like there’s something you’re hiding from me. Can you tell me? I don’t want to live in fear every day; no matter how difficult it is, I’m willing to go through it with you, Lin Zifeng.”

Nangong Bing suddenly grabbed Lin Zifeng’s warm hand excitedly, saying, ”Lin Zifeng, I have no family left now. In this world, you’re the only family I have. I really don’t want any more tragedies to happen. Although some accidents are unavoidable, I hope you can tell me about your past. Is that okay?”

Nangong Bing is an exceptionally clever woman. When Heavenly Gate repeatedly harmed Lin Zifeng, she always kept silent, knowing what to ask and what not to.

But now it’s different. She vaguely feels that Lin Zifeng’s enemies are becoming stronger and stronger, even to the point where he sometimes feels powerless.

She doesn’t want anything to happen to Lin Zifeng, truly doesn’t, because Lin Zifeng is her husband!

Lin Zifeng smiled bitterly: ”Do you really want to know?”

”Yes, I really want to.” Nangong Bing looked at him with determined eyes.

Since she asked, Lin Zifeng had no intention of hiding, shaking his head. He tossed away the remaining bit of his cigarette and lit a fresh one, clamping it tightly between his slender fingers.

Thinking for a moment, he squinted his eyes, recalling the situation years ago.

”Five years ago, I remember that on the day I turned twenty, I went drinking and dining with some little thugs from my hometown to celebrate. When I got back, I found that my parents had disappeared. At the time, I just waited at home for them to come back. Hehe, at the time, I naively thought they had gone to visit relatives and would return soon.”

”What happened afterward?” Nangong Bing urgently asked.

Lin Zifeng shook his head, pulling Nangong Bing’s arm to sit down together, his vacant pupils seemingly replaying memories from five years ago.

”That night, I waited a very long time, until the next morning, I dashed around insanely searching for them, without knowing why. I felt like something was missing in my heart. Later I went abroad, experiencing inhuman treatment there and joined the Heaven Gate Mercenary Group, a choice that changed the trajectory of my life. The blonde-haired, blue-eyed woman who captured you at the Iron Tower last time was my former instructor, k-2 Phantom.”

”k-2 Phantom?!” Nangong Bing’s expression turned solemn, her heart starting to pound uncontrollably.

”The woman who took me last time was your former instructor?”

”Yes.” Lin Zifeng nodded, continuing to smoke.

”Were the ones who took me in the Amazon Rainforest also from Heavenly Gate?”

”Including today’s fake version of your senior brother Gao Yuan, they’re people from Heavenly Gate too. k-3 Shura.”

Lin Zifeng smiled wryly.

”Then what about you?” Nangong Bing’s almond eyes widened.

”k-2 Death God!”

”Death God?” The woman repeated, saying, ”What exactly is k-? Is there any special meaning?”

”Meaning? What meaning? abcdefg... each code number consists of nine people, like a-1, a-2, a-3... if all these people die, the ranking continues to maintain this order, but their serial number will become b-1, b-2,”

”I’m k-9, meaning all the previous ranking kings are already dead.” Lin Zifeng said softly.

”Is this the ranking code of your Heavenly Gate Mercenary Group? You don’t have names?” Nangong Bing exclaimed.

Having never known about mercenaries, her heart was suddenly overwhelmed. According to Lin Zifeng, replacing names with code names implies treating life as insignificant.

”In the mercenary world, there are no names. Only code names, even if dying in battle, what is remembered is solely a common code name.” Lin Zifeng’s eyes turned somewhat dim as he spoke.

Moreover, he only mentioned the mercenary group to Nangong Bing without elaborating further. The deeply hidden Dark Prison in Lin Zifeng’s inner world has never been spoken of to anyone, even when Nangong Shui returned, asking about it, Lin Zifeng remained cryptic.

”And later? Did you find your parents?” Nangong Bing’s heart was even more stirred than Lin Zifeng’s.

”No. They’ve been missing for five years. Over these years, I’ve given up searching for them.”

”Why! After searching hard for five years, how can you just give up? I believe Uncle and Aunt are still alive! Lin Zifeng, if you persist, you’ll surely find them!”

Lin Zifeng knew Nangong Bing was encouraging him, but the disappearance five years ago could not be easily resolved.
