175 Lin Zhou: Ominous Feeling (2/2)

”I believe in my wife,” He simply said that. If Yao Ling felt that something was amiss, then something was indeed amiss. What Yao Ying said made Yao Ling blush shyly. She appreciated his trust, after all... it was only a gut feeling and Yao Ling didn't how to explain what she felt. She looked at Yao Ying gratefully.

”I have the same feeling as Yao Ling and that old man... it seems like he's hiding something,” Xiao Fang said. Even though his eyes were quite sincere, but she had a feeling that he wasn't that sincere when he said he wanted to help his own son. Xiao Fang told all of those to the trio.

Yao Ling started to think back and indeed... she didn't feel the loving vibe from a father to a son. If he was indeed the real owner of A Thousand Words, then for what purpose he lied to them?

”Should we receive this deal? I feel that this will become dangerous,” Yao Ling asked doubtfully. What if something happened to Yao Ying and Lin Jian?! She was worried about their safety.

”We get the better deal, so we should probably take this assignment. We can ask about Han Xiang's matter first,” Lin Jian finally decided. The other three murmured their agreement because they could ask something about Han Xiang.

After knowing that something might go wrong, then they would be able to act more carefully. He was confident that they would be able to finish this job by doing that. Their target was only one man, after all!

Yao Ying was a bit doubtful because he knew that Yao Ling's gut feeling was always right. He had known this even before they got married. Once she said that she got a bad feeling and they should cancel their plan to go to the mountain, they escaped a calamity. Yao Ying stubbornly wanted to go, but he was also being held back by Jiu Lan [Yao Ling's deceased mother].

True enough... A tiger ran amok at the mountain and killed a few villagers that were busy hunting at that time. Jiu Lan also told him that since she was a little girl, her gut feeling was never wrong. He should trust Yao Ling more. Since then... he always believed in her feeling.

He asked Lin Jian, ”Are you sure that we can handle this matter?”

”Since we realized this point beforehand, we can be more careful. We need the information that he has,” Lin Jian said. ”Why don't we gamble and take a risk?”

Yao Ying knew that Lin Jian was quite serious and he pondered for a little while. Yao Ling smiled at Yao Ying and said, ”It's just my gut feeling. You should also trust your own judgment. I believe in you.”

Although her heart felt painful, she knew that she couldn't stop him. His hesitation happened only because of her. What Lin Jian said also made sense. If they were careful, they would be able to avoid trouble.

Xiao Fang said softly, ”If both of you want to receive the assignment, then I will help you. I will lend you my guards so take them along with you later. Their skills are quite good.”

Yao Ling smiled to Xiao Fang and thanked her for her generosity to help them. Xiao Fang just waved her right hand shyly, ”I can only do so much! No need to thank me...” She also worried about both men's safety.

With Xiao Fang's help and reassurance, Yao Ling felt a little bit better. The more people that could help them, the better. They decided to accept the job and then they talked about the information that they wanted to ask. They talked back and forth between them for half shichen, then decided on one important question regarding Han Xiang's marriage alliance.
