By this ti, Lin Kuang had already finished lunch and followed Liu Shilin back to her office.
Just as Lin Kuang stepped inside, his phone rang again. He took it out and saw another unfamiliar number, which made him frown. He usually didn't get a single call all day, but today, his phone was ringing an awful lot.
Despite this, he answered the phone. "Hello?"
"Lin Kuang, this is Li Jiachen."
Li Jiachen's sowhat aged voice, heavy with gravity, ca through the phone.
Lin Kuang froze for a mont, then hurriedly responded, "Grandpa Li, why the sudden call?" he couldn't help but ask.
"There's trouble. Are you aware that the Fan Family Head has sent Fan Molun to deal with you? Fan Molun is a very powerful and cruel man who specializes in handling all sorts of dark deeds for the Fan Family.
"In Europe, people have a saying about him: 'Better to et a Demon than Molun.' One can only imagine how terrifyingly powerful he is," Li Jiachen said, his tone grave.
The mont Li Jiachen learned Fan Molun had been dispatched to East Sea, he called Lin Kuang. After all, Fan Molun was so powerful that he couldn't help but worry for Lin Kuang's safety.
Hearing this, Lin Kuang's expression grew grim. He had, of course, heard the saying: "Better to et a Demon than Molun."
Moreover, his own moniker, the King of the Underworld, had also been forged in Europe. One could say that Fan Molun was his senior; Lin Kuang had already heard the na 'Molun' back when he was making a na for himself there. At the sa ti, Lin Kuang was well aware of how terrifyingly powerful soone must be to earn such a reputation in Europe. What's more, that reputation was from ten years ago. Another decade had passed. Heaven knows how much more terrifying his strength has beco now.
What surprised Lin Kuang, however, was that this so-called 'Molun' from Europe was actually a mber of the Fan Family.
"Grandpa Li, thank you. You can rest assured, I'm confident that even if this so-called Molun arrives, I can handle him," Lin Kuang said with gratitude and self-assurance.
He was very grateful that Li Jiachen had passed this information to him. He was also suprely confident, especially after unlocking the Fourth Gate of the Eight Gates Escape Technique—the Injury Gate—back in Nanjing. Even if he had to face Fan Molun, he felt no fear.
Hearing Lin Kuang's grateful yet confident words, Li Jiachen was montarily stunned before smiling and nodding. "Good, I believe in you, young man. Don't let
down."
"Don't worry, Grandpa Li, I certainly won't," Lin Kuang affird.
"Very well, that's all for now then. Rember to call
if anything cos up," Li Jiachen said with a laugh, his previous concerns vanishing as his mood improved considerably.
"Alright, Grandpa Li. Please take care of yourself. I'll talk to you again when I have the chance," Lin Kuang replied with a nod.
"Mm, alright. Let's leave it at that," Li Jiachen said, and they both hung up.
After ending the call, murderous intent flickered in Lin Kuang's eyes. Fan Molun. The Fan Family. Very well! You want
dead? Then don't bla
for being ruthless. Don't bla
for killing you all until you tremble in fear! A glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes before vanishing.
"Lin Kuang, are you alright?" Liu Shilin couldn't help but ask with concern, noticing his troubled expression.
"Ah, I'm fine, really, Shilin. You don't need to worry," Lin Kuang said with a chuckle, snapping back to his senses and acting as if nothing was wrong.
Seeing this, Liu Shilin gave him a helpless look. "You never tell
anything. I know you're trying to keep
from worrying, but do you know? When you say nothing at all, I worry even more," she said with a tinge of sadness, looking into his deep eyes.
She understood his intentions, but his silence only amplified her anxiety.
Her words made Lin Kuang's body tremble. Seeing Liu Shilin's pained expression, his own heart ached for her inexplicably. He hadn't wanted to tell her about these things, but now, looking at it from her perspective, he realized he had been rather selfish.
Thinking this, Lin Kuang quickly stood, walked over to her, and gently pulled her into his arms.
"Shilin, I'm sorry. I neglected your feelings. I apologize. I'll be more mindful next ti," he said softly, acknowledging his oversight.
Held in his embrace, Liu Shilin couldn't help but nod.
"I'm not trying to force you to say anything," she said, her face flushing as she rested against his chest. "It's just... as your woman, I want to share your burdens. I don't want to see you shouldering so much alone."
Hearing this, Lin Kuang nodded emphatically. "Yes, I understand. I get it now, Shilin. Don't worry, I'll tell you everything from now on. Be good," he said with a smile, holding her close.
He then told her about the situation, explaining only that soone was out to get him. He didn't divulge the reasons, since they involved two other won.
After hearing his explanation, Liu Shilin beca very calm. She lifted her head, looked into his eyes, and said with an unwavering tone, "Lin Kuang, you must take care of yourself. If you die, I won't let you go alone."
Her words sent a tremor through Lin Kuang. Her firm resolve touched him deeply, and for the first ti, his heart was filled with an overwhelming sense of being moved.
"Silly girl, don't worry. Nothing will happen to , I promise," he said with doting affection, stroking her hair.
Liu Shilin nodded obediently in response.
Seeing her docile expression, Lin Kuang couldn't help but lower his head and kiss her rosy lips. Her cheeks turned scarlet, but she didn't resist, instead responding to him as they shared a passionate kiss.
Just then, Lin Guo'er pushed the door open, happening to walk in on the scene.
She stood there, montarily stunned, before a seductive smile spread across her face. "Hehe, am I interrupting sothing?" she giggled, her eyes on the two of them.
That guy knows how to kiss Shilin, but he never cos to my office to kiss ! Just you wait, I'll deal with him later!
Seeing Lin Guo'er barge in, Liu Shilin quickly pushed Lin Kuang away. Her face turned beet red as she lowered her head, too embarrassed to et Lin Guo'er's gaze.
Lin Kuang, on the other hand, shot Lin Guo'er an annoyed glance. Couldn't she have co any sooner or later? Why now of all tis!
