Chapter 859 - Used To Think Like That Woman (1/2)

The car ride through Imperial stayed in silence as neither Lin Hui nor Xu Long uttered a word. One could only stare out the window as the other continued to drive the car.

After a long minute passes, Lin Hui broke that silence with a content sigh.

”But I came to realize again that reality isn't so bad.”

Xu Long was taken aback to hear Lin Hui's voice but didn't say a word and decided to lend his friend an ear.

”This reality is thanks to my boss. She never judges anyone and always steps up for others. Even if her opponent is a prominent figure, she will give it her all.”

Lin Hui uttered with an expression that revealed a very unnoticeable smile. He thought back to Yue Ling's defensive words and how she protected him like a mother.

”She's the person who will never look down on me but see me as an equal. Even if others were to belittle me or the others, she would always put her foot down for us.”

Whether it be the past or the present, Yue Ling is his boss. She is superior to him and the others, but never once did she think highly of herself.

She never expected anything in return from him or the others. If she were ever to expect anything in return, it would be for that person to live life to the fullest.

Xu Long's eyes turned moist the more he listened. He sounds a sniffle and wipes away a tear that was on the verge of falling.

When Lin Hui heard him, he finally came to the realization that he had spoken more than he intended. He clears his throat and looks at the assistant with a frown.

”Are you crying? Why? What's there to cry about?”

Xu Long chokes a sob without any tears. He wipes his eyes and sniffles with a pitiful expression.

”I'm not crying. I'm just sad that why didn't meet the lady boss earlier.”

When he first heard about Fate, he would be lying if he said he wasn't afraid of them. Fate is well-known in the underworld and is known to be the one in charge of the underworld.

Anyone who crosses paths with Fate never lives to tell the experience. If they were to survive, they would never reveal anything and keep their mouth shut.

Just like the leader of Ghost Gang, Ti Lung. He made the mistake of kidnapping Gu Ting and involved Ji Jingxu. Even when he was captured and never to be in Fate's sight again, just the mention of ”Mami” made the man choose death.

He (Xu Long) thought Fate was filled with evil like other gangs in the underworld. If not, then why was everyone in the underworld so afraid of them. However, after meeting them face-to-face, he realized his discernment was too soon.

The Fate he heard rumors about, and the Fate he knows is the complete opposite.

He vaguely chuckled at his way of thinking and wanted to cry even more.

From listening to Lin Hui's words, he felt like the biggest idiot. Did he even have the right to be angry with his friend when he was like Madam Qin?

His lower lip trembles and he burst into a sob.

”Bro, I'm sorry. I used to think like that woman back there. I thought Fate was like other gangs in the underworld. I thought Fate was full of evil and only killed for fun. I even wanted to capture you all and make you guys suffer.”

He poured his heart out and sobs like a child who betrayed his only friend.

”If you don't want to be my friend anymore, I understand.”

Lin Hui was taken aback by his tearful words. His eyes blinked multiple times as he didn't understand how his words made Xu Long like this.

However, quick to connect the pieces, he laughs and lightly punches Xu Long's shoulder.

He had already known that Xu Long and Wolf Team saw Fate as bad people. However, they took the time to get to know everyone from Fate.

”Quit being a cry baby. You are nothing like that woman. You got to know us instead of continuing to judge us. Plus, we were never friends.”

His sudden words made Xu Long's heart drop to his stomach. His lower lip trembles more, but he tries to hold his tears back as he did say he would understand if their friendship ended here.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Hui burst into a historical laugh. He held his stomach with one hand while the other raised to wipe his eyes.

Once he calmed down, his arm reached over to the assistant and gave him a friendly headlock.

”We were never friends because we are brothers.”

Xu Long's heart was quickly restored by Lin Hui's sudden words and movements.

He was happy to hear such heartfelt words.

However, that happiness didn't last long.

He swerves the car a little, horrifying the both of them. Of course, he was able to quickly maneuver the car back into a steady pace.

”Dude! Are you trying to kill us?!”

Lin Hui shrieked when he saw his life flash before his eyes. He almost panicked but calmed down when Xu Long was able to quickly steadied the car.

He rubs his temple in frustration and lets out an aggravated sigh.

”Man, just because I said those words doesn't mean you can go and kill us.”

Xu Long felt embarrassed. His face flushed with a crimson red color. However, thinking about Lin Hui's words, he nonchalantly shrugs his shoulders.

”It's fine. If I die, I'm happy to die with my brother.”

He emphasized the word brother and grinned like a happy little girl at Lin Hui.

Unlike the assistant, Lin Hui shivers with goosebumps. He grabbed Xu Long's head and turned the man back in the direction of the road.

”Shut up and drive. No one's dying on my watch.”

He stated, and without giving the man any time to respond, he leaned back in the seat to sleep.
