168: Chapter 168: Smile for
Lin Fei did not stay long in the Ice Cave Ward after confirming Elder Wei’s injuries.
He then signaled Moli and her sister to leave the ward.
“Who did this?” Lin Fei asked imdiately after leaving the Ice Cave Ward.
Moli and her sister almost simultaneously clenched their teeth and responded.
Although he had already suspected who might have taken action, truly hearing it confird by Moli and her sisters still made Lin Fei unconsciously furrow his brows.
To have injured Elder Wei to such an extent, regardless of the thod used, was enough to prove their power.
Lin Fei had to admit that he had underestimated them before.
Because of Ling Weiwei, Lin Fei had long been at odds with them.
Now that they dared to attack Elder Wei and leave him severely wounded, Lin Fei had to be on guard.
Of course, even though they had the ability to kill Elder Wei, they posed no significant threat to Lin Fei himself.
As a rcenary king who had survived the battlefield, there weren’t many people or forces in this world who could threaten him.
But they definitely were not among them.
Lin Fei’s concern about Azure Dragon was mainly because he was not alone.
Azure Dragon might not threaten him, but they could threaten the people around him, such as Ling Weiwei, Shen Peini, or even Mu Shanshan.
This was sothing Lin Fei couldn’t ignore.
“Let’s go, let’s find your Chairman.”
Lin Fei disliked defensive tactics, and since the Azure Dragon Gang would clearly not forget their grudge so easily, the only path laid before him was to take the offensive!
However, being alone, the best strategy for dealing with the threat of Azure Dragon was to collaborate with Xue i.
Without needing Moli and her sister to lead the way, Lin Fei found Xue i’s villa himself.
It turned out to be his third visit to the villa.
“You two wait outside.
I want to speak alone with your Chairman,” Lin Fei instructed Moli and her sister before entering Xue i’s villa.
The villa remained the sa as before, with no changes to the interior decoration.
The mistress of the villa, Xue i, was still in the living room, fiddling with her Purple Sand Pot tea set.
Xue i remained that perfectly rged incarnation of aloof beauty and allure, the Thorny Rose, her cold and charm as striking as ever.
The only difference was that in her captivating phoenix eyes, which were as clear as black jewels, there was less enchantnt and aloofness, and more lancholy and sorrow.
“Here you are.”
Sensing Lin Fei’s arrival, Xue i did not stop her manipulation of the Purple Sand Pot tea set.
From her alluring red lips, she rely uttered two words.
“Yeah, here.”
Lin Fei responded briefly with just three words.
A greeting and a response, not much talk, just a couple of words.
The two didn’t seem like friends who had t only a few tis, instead, they appeared as if they were old friends, a naless emotion breeding and suffusing between them.
“If you’re sad, cry it out.
Keeping it inside does nothing but hurt you and causes those around you to be sad with you,” Lin Fei spoke while.
After so ti, which could have been very long or just a few minutes, Xue i, curled up in Lin Fei’s arms like a cat, let out a sigh-like murmur, “I can’t cry!”
Though it was a whisper, a clear note of resoluteness could be discerned if one listened closely.
She wanted to cry, but she could not, because she was the Chairman of Thorny Rose; she wanted to cry, but she dared not cry, because she was the Chairman of Thorny Rose; she wanted to cry, but her tears were dry before they could flow, because she was the Chairman of Thorny Rose!
Tears are an outlet for emotions!
As the Chairman of Thorny Rose, she was destined not to express her emotions through tears.
But, she truly wanted to cry!
Because, Elder Wei, lying close to death in the Ice Cave Ward, had grown up with her, raised her, and cared for her tenderly from her childhood!
And because, after all, she—was just a woman!
“If you can’t cry, then smile for
instead.”
Their eyes t, and in Lin Fei’s gaze was sharpness, warning, but mostly pity.
“How can I smile?”
Lin Fei’s pity, clearly seen in the eyes of Xue i, stirred her heart.
Under different circumstances, Xue i wouldn’t mind showing Lin Fei her most beautiful side.
The beauty of a lady, willing to be displayed for a gentleman.
But at this mont, Xue i evidently had temporarily lost the ability to smile.
“What if I could keep that old man alive?”
“Really?!”
The previously sorrowful and anxious Xue i, hearing Lin Fei’s words, instantly showed a trace of joy.
Yet, as Lin Fei arrived, this Thorny Rose showed no signs of blooming, making Officer Lin dissatisfied.
“I—I can’t smile.”
Poor Xue i, despite being a Chairman, was pressed by Lin Fei.
Such a thing might be overlooked in usual tis, but in this situation, how could the Chairman feasibly smile?
“Never mind, for that old man’s sake, I’ll let you off this ti.” Lin Fei did not intend to trouble Xue i further, mainly because it wasn’t pressing.
The severity of matters must be judged—Elder Wei’s situation wasn’t resolved yet.
“There are two helicopters,” Xue i imdiately nodded in response.
“Find soone to carry that old man onto a helicopter; I will have him treated.” Elder Wei’s injuries were clearly not sothing an ordinary doctor could heal so Lin Fei planned to send him to the Manzhou Base near the Judgent Organization for treatnt.
