87: Chapter 87: Is There Any?
“I’ll just wait a bit longer then.
A person who can freely co and go from Rose Manor is certainly worth the wait.”
The middle-aged elder, Elder Wei, nodded slightly, which could be taken as an agreent with Xue i’s words.
However, Xue i did not know Lin Fei’s true identity, which had considerable renown under Elder Wei’s na.
And indeed, Xue i’s ability to control the vast Thorny Rose gang was due, in large part, to her personal capabilities.
But most importantly, it was because Elder Wei backed her.
After Xue i’s father’s death, Thorny Rose plunged into chaos.
Xue i was appointed by her father to take over, but as a woman, how could she command everyone’s respect?
Many did not acknowledge her leadership, and it seed as if Thorny Rose would disintegrate.
In the end, Elder Wei stepped forward and settled the turmoil, securing Xue i’s position as the Chairman of Thorny Rose.
To Xue i, Elder Wei’s agreent to continue waiting for Lin Fei was an incredible favor, giving Lin Fei trendous respect.
She had cursed Lin Fei hundreds of tis in her heart, and she silently swore that if Lin Fei turned chicken and didn’t show up tonight, she would settle the score with him, with interest.
Due to her environnt, Xue i had never had a boyfriend since she was young.
But due to Xue i’s identity, she didn’t have many opportunities to et strange n.
While she was in school, her father, worried about her safety, equipped her with eight personal bodyguards to escort her to and from school.
And after she grew up, especially after her father passed away, Xue i seldom left Rose Manor.
Although she hadn’t been able to obtain complete information on Lin Fei, it was clear that Xue i didn’t plan on letting him off easy.
After much deliberation and due to Lin Fei’s ability to infiltrate Rose Manor without trace, Xue i had specially invited Elder Wei back.
“Elder Wei, do you think you could infiltrate my villa without alerting anyone?”
Xue i poured a fresh cup of tea for Elder Wei from the Purple Sand Pot, probing with the question.
Elder Wei seed not to have heard Xue i’s question, pondering for a long while before picking up the slightly cooled tea cup and taking a sip.
Just when Xue i thought she might have asked the wrong question and was thinking about apologizing, Elder Wei put down the cup and readjusted his dragon-headed cane.
“If it were my heyday, I probably could.
Now, I’d say I only have 30 percent confidence.”
“30 percent confidence?” Xue i blurted out subconsciously, both relieved at the thought of Rose Manor’s defense system and feeling incredulous.
Elder Wei had been famous for many years, and he had hardly t an equal on the streets in all these years.
That even an old master like him, famous for many years, couldn’t be completely sure of breaking into her villa was quite a comforting piece of news for Xue i.
At least she wouldn’t have to worry too much about her personal safety in the future.
Yet, Elder Wei’s 30 percent confidence deepened Xue i’s appreciation of Lin Fei’s abilities.
Elder Wei only had a 30 percent chance, and Xue i vividly rembered how cool and collected Lin Fei was when he entered her villa.
Doesn’t that an that Lin Fei’s abilities could match those of Elder Wei in his pri?
For Xue i, who saw Elder Wei as her greatest ntal support, she subconsciously did not want to believe that Lin Fei had the strength to match Elder Wei at his best.
“Do you think Lin Fei infiltrated the manor based on his own strength, Elder Wei?”
Xue i, after all, was the Chairman of the Thorny Rose, one of the three major gangs in Zhonghai, and she had not allowed personal grievances to cloud her judgnt of the gang’s interests.
“It’s hard to say.”
“If this Lin Fei is really as young as you say, in his twenties, then the likelihood that he infiltrated the manor on his own strength is quite low.”
Xue i nodded slightly, seeming to accept Elder Wei’s assessnt.
In truth, Xue i had been thinking the sa, and Elder Wei’s counsel was most apt.
Xue i absentmindedly fiddled with the Purple Sand Pot tea set, her ntal State a ss compared to her previous anticipation for Lin Fei’s imminent demise.
As Xue i was pondering whether or not Lin Fei had really relied on his own strength to infiltrate Rose Manor, Elder Wei tapped his dragon-headed cane, saying in a deep voice, “Our guest has arrived.”
The mont Elder Wei’s words fell, the door to the Blood Rose Villa was pushed open.
That slightly emaciated figure, that smug tone of voice, who could it be if not Lin Fei?
Through the living room light, catching sight of Lin Fei, Xue i’s heart skipped a beat, thinking that Lin Fei had finally not stood her up.
