Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 1285: Chapter 1319: Warm-Hearted Ladies’ Man

“Although I don’t know the reason why the Jipu Family wants to assassinate you, I hope you can give me a reasonable explanation. You know I’m rather suspicious, and I don’t consider myself a gentleman. If your presence brings unfavorable impacts on our Nantian Gang, I wouldn’t mind killing you myself.”

Lin Zifeng stared at her with a playful look, the immense pressure making Monet Yun’s heart almost jump out of her chest.

Though the man seemed to harbor no apparent intent to kill, she understood Lin Zifeng’s nature well.

“I killed Elder Qingfeng, which is why I’m being hunted.”

“Elder Qingfeng? The elder who received me that day?” Lin Zifeng frowned deeply, feeling a strange discomfort in his heart.

“Yes. Do you remember that night when the Iga Ninja lured you out?”

Monet Yun struggled to breathe calmly, trying her best to maintain her composure while speaking to Lin Zifeng.

“I remember.” Lin Zifeng nodded. That night marked the time he broke through from the Early Stage to the Middle Stage. It was also their immense pressure that forced him to break through.

Monet Yun was very pleased with Lin Zifeng’s response.

She spoke softly, “Elder Qingfeng was a spy sent by the Iga Family, and he had caused chaos in the Jipu Family more than once. That night, when you entered the barrier, he seized the opportunity to follow you in with others, secretly monitoring you for many days. I discovered quite by accident that he was from the Iga Family!”

“Saying all this, what do you mean to convey?” Lin Zifeng didn’t care to understand the Iga or Jipu affairs. Neither seemed innocent in his eyes, and he had no interest in learning more.

“Because Elder Qingfeng intended to marry me off to Jipu Feng, the top talent of the Jipu Family!”

Monet Yun watched Lin Zifeng’s minor facial changes intently, but his expression remained perfectly still, devoid of any emotion.

“Just because he wanted to marry you to a family genius, you killed him?”

Lin Zifeng found the reason somewhat absurd, even reminiscent of the viciousness attributed to women.

“You don’t understand the reasons within! I killed him because I refuse to be sacrificed, and I don’t want that old man to use my relationship with you to provoke hostility between the Nantian Gang and Fusang!”

Monet Yun made efforts to explain, but Lin Zifeng hardly understood a word.

In Lin Zifeng’s eyes, the woman merely acted with self-interest, going so far as to kill an elder close to her; what else wouldn’t she dare to do?

“Alright, it’s getting late. You should rest early. For now, stay at the Nantian Gang. We’ll ensure your safety.”

“But I came to Zhonghai hoping to join your Nantian Gang!”

Monet Yun was keen for Lin Zifeng’s approval to join the Nantian Gang, yet Lin Zifeng offered no words of encouragement.

This left Monet Yun uncertain, wagering whether Lin Zifeng would accept her.

Whatever she wagered, Lin Zifeng remained unpredictable, and discerning his thoughts through his facial expressions proved difficult.

“I’m sorry, the Nantian Gang isn’t currently in need of members. It’s not under consideration for now.” Lin Zifeng left her with an icy stare, then pushed open the door, leaving the chamber.

Monet Yun lingered, staring at Lin Zifeng’s departing silhouette, saying nothing.

She stood there quietly, feeling as though the last piece of strength in her body had been drained away.

She still lost the gamble! Lost to a man.

The next morning, Zhang Mengjie called, saying Zhao Xuemo had gone to Huayu Group for an interview!

Position-wise, it was set to match the former role of Public Relations Director at Tianyu Group for Yue Xuemo.

This resolved a long-standing concern for Lin Zifeng.

Just that one after another, the beautiful women of Tianyu left for Huayu Group, which made Liu Ruyan embarrassed about facing Nangong Bing.

One was the Director and President of Tianyu Group, the other the CEO of Huayu Group.

Good sisters living under the same roof was one thing, but more importantly, they represented two different company groups.

Tianyu Group’s resignations kept flocking to Huayu Group; what did this signify?

There lay Lin Zifeng, still lazing in bed.

Over there, Nangong Bing got up early, cleaned and dressed at home, and just as she prepared to drive out, her face turned exceedingly unpleasant.

Hawke Martin stood there holding a serving tray filled with all sorts of fresh breakfasts, smiling as he awaited Nangong Bing’s departure.

“Good morning, Miss Nangong.”

Hawke Martin greeted Nangong Bing with a cheerful smile.

“Why…why are you still here?” Clearly, Nangong Bing was somewhat thunderstruck by the scene before her.

The biggest issue was this handsome man, capable of mooching, specifically brought her such a feast.

Breakfast delivered by a handsome fellow; such a lifestyle isn’t merely comforting.

“Miss Nangong, I know you like Western-style breakfasts, so this morning I happened to pass by and brought some along. If Miss Nangong doesn’t mind, perhaps you might try it.”

“Happened to?” Nangong Bing rolled her eyes; could this be called coincidental?

“Sorry, I’ve already eaten.” Nangong Bing intended to ignore him; she had promised Lin Zifeng last night to avoid excessive interactions with such people.

No matter how good he was to her, in Nangong Bing’s eyes, it meant nothing.

“Alright, no problem. Since Miss Nangong has already had breakfast, I’ll have these removed first. I’ll ensure tomorrow’s breakfast is ordered and delivered in advance for Miss Nangong.”

Hawke Martin was indeed exemplifying the peak of material desire in men, surpassing even Lin Zifeng.

“Mr. Hawke Martin, there’s no need for this. I’m a married woman with a husband. At most, we’re just online acquaintances, and if you persist, you’ll only end up hurting yourself.”

“It doesn’t matter; a woman as outstanding as you naturally has many admirers, and you have the right to choose. I won’t force you, but I will persist in winning you over.”

To her surprise, Nangong Bing’s speech had come to no avail.

Previously, when Nangong Bing encountered those who couldn’t score her favor, they’d apply pressure. But she didn’t expect Hawke Martin to come on gently!

Resorting to relentless pursuit, yet so elegantly and suavely, such an exceptional man would be difficult for any woman to reject.

For a woman to fall for a man, first impressions matter the most.

Though not very familiar with Hawke Martin, his words were so thoughtfully written that they prompted Nangong Bing to imagine.

They had shared long conversations on their blogs.
