Urban All-Round Master

”I know you hate me.”

Wang Xiaomin’s delicate body trembled upon hearing such sharp words from Lin Zifeng. Any woman would be struck by them.

”Hate? Hate is an overstatement.” Lin Zifeng shook his head, casually took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath. Smiling, he said, ”Girl, you really shouldn’t get too close to me. You have a boyfriend, and I’m already a married man. If we get too close, it might affect you and hurt me. You need to understand that.”

”What... what are you talking about?”

Wang Xiaomin’s big, watery eyes widened, completely unable to grasp anything from Lin Zifeng’s words.

”Let’s not talk anymore. The cooperation between Divine Needle Sect and Huayu Group will continue as usual. But from now on, even if you want to help me, you shouldn’t contact me. You should find Liu Ruyan instead. She’s now the CEO of Jiangzhou Huayu Group, while I’m just a good-for-nothing punk. If your boyfriend sees us, it wouldn’t be good.”

”I...”

”No need to explain, your explanation is useless. Because I already know everything.” Lin Zifeng raised his hand to stop her explanation.

What good is an explanation? She already has a boyfriend.

”What are you even talking about?” Wang Xiaomin was about to be brought to tears by Lin Zifeng.

”What else would I say but your matter?” Lin Zifeng rolled his eyes. What else could he say?

”I don’t have a boyfriend at all. Did you misunderstand me?”

”Misunderstand? Back when you were injured, the man who stayed with you day and night wasn’t your boyfriend?” Lin Zifeng was stunned, wondering if he had seen incorrectly or misunderstood. Impossible, right? He clearly saw the two talking and laughing together. There’s no misunderstanding. He had confidence in his own eyes. Not middle-aged yet; his eyesight shouldn’t be bad.

”That was my brother!” Wang Xiaomin almost clarified with her mouth wide open. She felt the more she explained, the darker the situation seemed to become, and the less clear it was.

”Brother? Ah! You have a brother?” Lin Zifeng’s old eyes widened. ”Really?”

”Of course it’s true. Did you think he was my boyfriend?” Wang Xiaomin was becoming increasingly frustrated. She was clearly single; how could she have a boyfriend?

Besides, if she truly had a boyfriend, she wouldn’t have gone to the nightclub with her girlfriends for that wild night out. That would be asking for trouble.

”...”

Lin Zifeng was speechless, having nothing to say.

”Alright. The misunderstanding is resolved now. I hope you won’t use such words to provoke me anymore,” Wang Xiaomin expressed her dissatisfaction.

To be honest, that brother is also someone she was always reluctant to mention. Her brother and father had significant conflicts. Generally, she wouldn’t tell anyone.

”Okay~”

Seeing that Wang Xiaomin had nothing more to say, Lin Zifeng knew there was no need for further questioning. Whether she had a boyfriend had nothing to do with him. Moreover, he wasn’t her boyfriend. What right did he have to interfere in her private life?

”Alright. Thank you for recommending those three pharmacists tonight. On behalf of Huayu Group, let me express my gratitude in advance.”

”Hey! You’re just leaving like that?”

Wang Xiaomin looked displeased, her face sinking a bit. This departure was too direct; after all, she had been busy for so long, simply hoping to help Huayu Group a little.

Besides, Wang Xiaomin had always been immensely curious about the mysterious Lin Shao. Now that he’s right here, leaving so abruptly seemed a waste of the opportunity.

”Why? You’ve had dinner, met people. Is there anything else not resolved?” Lin Zifeng turned to look at her.

And now Wang Xiaomin didn’t even know what to say. Yes, dinner was had and people were met. But she really didn’t know what to say to keep him from leaving.

”Have you tried the Beauty Powder?”

Wang Xiaomin’s mischievous eyes turned, not knowing herself what she wanted to say.

”I’m a grown man; what would I use that for?” Lin Zifeng chuckled wryly, then shook his head. ”Wang Xiaomin, if you want to say something, just say it directly. There’s no need to beat around the bush. It’s not funny.”

”I...”

Lin Zifeng’s straightforwardness left Wang Xiaomin even more at a loss.

What’s going on? Now I don’t even know what I want to say. What exactly do I want to keep him here for? What should I do, what should I do?

No way! I must find a reasonable excuse to keep him here; otherwise, with his personality, he definitely won’t stay.

Thinking about this, Wang Xiaomin’s mind raced rapidly, but whatever she tried thinking, it wasn’t working.

Because Lin Zifeng had already turned and left.

”Hey! Can’t you wait a moment?”

At this moment, Wang Xiaomin raised her voice again.

”I say, Wang Xiaomin, can’t we get it all out in one go? I’m still very busy.” Lin Zifeng was truly speechless with her. He had to go home and accompany his wife that night.

He had been out for almost an entire evening already.

”Will... Will we have a chance to meet again?” Wang Xiaomin suddenly said with a flushed face. Whether she can see Lin Zifeng again was hard to say. He was like a fleeting figure; today he’s here, tomorrow who knows where, impossible to find him.

Pfft...

Lin Zifeng nearly stumbled headfirst to the ground.

”Don’t worry. As long as fate is still there, we’ll definitely meet again. It’s not like we’re parting forever. Silly girl~” Lin Zifeng shook his head helplessly, holding a cigarette, his lonely silhouette gradually receding into the night...

Wang Xiaomin still stood there, motionless, staring in the direction Lin Zifeng left. She was even a bit entranced. A faint smile unknowingly appeared on the corners of her lips.

Such a strange feeling, yet a good one. Why did I want to keep him just now, but couldn’t bring myself to speak?

Wang Xiaomin was both blaming herself and feeling speechless.

By midnight... Lin Zifeng, who could have gone home to sleep well and rest with his wife, did not return, but instead appeared at the headquarters of the South Heavenly Gate.

At this time, everyone at headquarters was gathered together. In front of them lay more than a dozen corpses and three injured but not dead men. The three were surrounded by a group of fierce men. At first, they could barely hold on.

But upon Lin Zifeng’s appearance, after he stepped forward and snapped one man’s neck, the remaining two immediately became cowardly, confessing everything.

”Even people from Divine Sky Sect joined the fray. It seems this play is getting more interesting.” Lin Zifeng squatted in front of those two men, both King Realm experts, members of the Divine Sky Sect. Originally having no grudge or enmity with South Heavenly Gate, the sect has now really ticked off Lin Zifeng.

The Divine Sky Sect’s attempt to summon Heavenly Punishment Alliance to wipe out South Heavenly Gate failed, leaving Lin Zifeng dissatisfied. He hadn’t expected them to play it dirty like this.

Completely unforgivable!
