803 Annoying Pests (2/2)
Should he agree?
No, not at this time.
He needed to find a way to stabilize the remnant inside him first, or much better yet, to completely eliminate the irritating existence once and for all. If he didn't do this first and went ahead and met with Jin Liwei, the remnant might go berserk again. He couldn't afford to risk losing control in front of other people and most especially not in front of his sister. He didn't want to worry her.
'Maybe you can ask her about her experience.'
Although she didn't expressly mention it, he knew that she also battled with her remnant last year. He saw with his own eyes how the original Long Xiulan's remnant took over her body to exact revenge on Fan Luo and tortured the Alarm Girls. His pure and kind sister would never exhibit such maliciousness without an external, or in their case, internal factor.
Perhaps asking her on how she was able to deal with Long Xiulan's remnant and gain total control of her body would help him solve his own issue with the original Lu Zihao's remnant.
'No, that won't work. The remnants inside us are different. Hers went berserk due to a powerful grudge resulting from the original Long Xiulan's death. I don't sense any grudge from the original Lu Zihao's remnant at all. All I sense is a deep attachment to his sworn brothers and the old man.'
He thought long and hard about all the similarities and differences of his and his sister's situations regarding the remnants inside their bodies. In the end, he made his decision.
'I'll solve my own problem by myself. If my sister can do it, I can do it too. There's no need to make her worry about me. That's my job as the elder brother—to worry about my younger sister. Not the other way around. I'm Nikolai Vetrov. A mere remnant won't be able to defeat me.'
Therefore, before he was able to stabilize the remnant inside him in some way, he wouldn't meet his sister and her man in person. Besides, he was pissed off at Jin Liwei because the man was the main reason why the remnant went berserk ever since the confrontation and the disintegration of their brotherhood.
It wasn't only Jin Liwei. He was also pissed off at his sister for telling her man about their secret. Although he admitted that it was him who dropped the hint first during the confrontation with Jin Liwei, she didn't need to follow it up.
What was she thinking? Did she lose all her rationality because of her love for her man? Had she forgotten how dangerous their identities as members of the Vetrovs were?
Even though he felt assured that Jin Liwei loved his sister and would protect her, that was only right now. Would the man still feel the same way once he learned that the woman he loved and her brother were direct scions of what was once the most powerful and nefarious criminal family in the international underworld?
His forehead creased as a painful headache assailed him. Mental and physical exhaustion prevented him from maintaining his composure.
Right at that moment, the image of the sweet and shy Miss Prim and Proper Long Jinjing appeared in his mind. He wasn't surprised anymore when his groin stirred and in just a few seconds, he sported a rock-hard erection.
If he could only fuck her again right now, all his troubles would temporarily go away from his thoughts. He would also feel more relaxed and balanced.
”Fuck! What the hell, Nikolai?!”
Now he treated Long Jinjing in the same way as the remnant—annoying pests in his mind.
