502 An Eye for an Eye (1/2)

”Please don't go. You're making me worry…” Lin Xiang rushed to Chen Xiaobei and held his arm to her chest, stubbornly refusing to let him go.

”No. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth – I never allow my enemies to escape scot-free. I will have him suffer the way he wanted me to, and that will definitely teach him a lesson not to mess with me!”

His expression smoldered so ferociously that Lin Xiang could not help feel conflicted.

”But…” She bit her petite lip; she was very worked up over him.

Chen Xiaobei shook his head. ”Please understand, pumpkin. the enemy this time is different, I cannot allow them to run too far or I can't track him down!

”I understand how you feel,” he said, and held her shoulders with both hands. ”But you have to have faith that I'll be back. I had made a deal with the Moon Lord after all – I will definitely return for the hanky panky!”

Lin Xiang immediately blushed, and wiped away her tears. ”You're such a rascal! Since when you became such a pervert…” Too embarrassed to look into his eyes, she turned away from him.

It was then that she saw the corpses strewn all over the courtyard. After a single shriek, she passed out.

Chen Xiaobei caught her before she could fall, shaking her head.

”Might as well be unconscious than to watch all this.”

His little lamb had always been a scaredy-cat. It would have been weird for her to not freak out at the sight of the carnage instead.

Pulling out some Mengpo Soup from his treasure chest, Chen Xiaobei dipped his finger in the broth and slipped it into Lin Xiang's supple lips. When she wakes up, she would not remember any of this.

Soon, the mansion was bombarded by blaring police sirens. It was obvious that the sound of gunfire had alerted them. Since a large bunch of them had arrived, there should not be any threat to the mansion. And so Chen Xiaobei carried Lin Xiang back into her house, before putting on the Nightstalker Outfit and fleeing the place quietly.

The Lintian Mansion.

Built right beside Lake Xuanwu, its majestic beauty was not an unfamiliar sight to most. Though it was slightly less grand compared to the Yap Mansion, its location alone made it one of the top mansions around Dragon City.

Nonetheless, the only reason Yap Tianlin was able to procure the land to build his mansion was thanks to his family's connections. That alone was a sign of how influential Yap Family and their circle was.

Right now, Yap Tianlin was chewing on a thick cigar in the common area. He had a frown in his face the entire night, but finally smiled when he heard of Chen Xiaobei's apparent demise.

”Are you sure that bastard is dead?”

”I'm positive. He took a bullet to the head - there's no way anyone could live through that!”

There was a middle-aged man sitting in front of Yap Tianlin, with a long rectangular case placed behind him.

He was the assassin hired to kill Chen Xiaobei; he had a long scar stretching from one end of his face to the other. His expression was calm, but it only made him look extremely fierce – the kind of aura individuals who went through bloodbaths had.

”Nicely done. As expected of Dongbei Gunlord, you're much better than that useless international assassin.” Yap Tianlin said, and tossed a bank card on the table in front of him. ”Here's your reward, as promised.”

”Pleasure doing business.” The middle-aged man nodded lightly, and made himself scarce.

”Hohoho. With that bastard gone, Lin Xiang will be my plaything!” Yap Tianlin grinned, but only for a while; he began to feel a little uneasy. ”Lin Xiang should be guarded and questioned by the police for the night… How can I sleep without a woman beside me!? I think I should call Hawk; I hope I'm not too late.”

*Ring...*

Yap Tianlin's phone rang. Feeling odd to receive a call at this time, he picked up the phone.

An extremely perverted laugh blasted out of the speaker immediately. ”Master Yap, hohoho! Are you feeling it tonight? Hawk just caught a top-tier jade rabbit for you! I kid you not, the first person I thought about was you!”

”Hmm.” Yap Tianlin arched an eyebrow in suspicion. ”It's been a while since you caught any jade rabbit – what is a top-tier jade rabbit worth?”
