Chapter 703: Chapter 730: What’s Wrong with This World? (Part 2)
Then he looked at Basajov’s corpse, shook his head, and said, "Accidentally helped you!"
"This old Maozi, he once harmed my brother, but fortunately it was just a minor injury. If it had been serious, he wouldn’t have lived to today!"
He was referring to one of the brothers from the Dark Night Mercenary Corps, who was slapped by Basajov while drinking at a bar. But his brother knew how to endure, otherwise, it would’ve been a tragedy.
At that time, when Lin Xi learned about this, just as he was about to settle the score with this person, the old man’s phone call came, instructing him to return home immediately.
And when he returned home, he bid farewell to his brothers in the Dark Night Mercenary Corps.
Since then, he never left Huaxia again, being kept by the old man at Yunlong Mountain, where he spent his days in life-and-death training apart from sleeping.
Now, unexpectedly, he ran into this situation today.
Might as well get rid of him casually!
Hani glanced at Martin, then at Obal, and finally at Yoshida Hideyuki; the expressions in their eyes were just like his; they couldn’t make up their minds.
They didn’t dare to gamble!
After all, at their level of strength, they hardly needed to do anything in their lifetime, lacking nothing in various enjoyments—why take such a big risk?
The four exchanged glances again, then carefully retreated. Obal, Martin, and Yoshida Hideyuki did not get into their cars but got into Hani’s car instead.
The next moment, they quickly drove away from the scene!
During this process, Zhao Ritian and his three companions all looked towards Lin Xi, but Lin Xi didn’t make any moves.
As he watched the four leave, Zhao Tu and the old man both let out a sigh of relief, but Zhao Ritian sighed, looking very unwilling.
But since Lin Xi didn’t make a move, there was nothing he could do.
Zhao Tu patted Zhao Ritian on the shoulder, saying, "Don’t be so unwilling!"
"If it weren’t for this young man, we’d probably all be done for by now!"
"So, you should thank him properly, don’t be ungrateful. Isn’t this better now with one threat eliminated?"
"Just know, he was one of the strongest in Russia, and I reckon the pressure on our border will lessen significantly for the time being."
There was one thing he didn’t say: from the beginning, this young man named Lin Xi didn’t recognize Basajov.
Thus, his action was not to avenge his brother.
So, he was helping them!
Zhu Qi, on the other hand, didn’t say anything but had a glint of light in his eyes, thinking God knows what!
Lin Xi also didn’t ask what treasure Zhao Ritian had on him that attracted so many powerful people to want him dead. By this time, it was almost seven, and Bai Bing should be coming home soon.
Hmm, time to go home and cook!
Suddenly, he glanced in another direction and said to Zhao Ritian, "You guys better not leave; the police are coming!"
The four didn’t understand what Lin Xi meant and looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Lin Xi explained, "Although those four have left, from their looks, they won’t give up on whatever is on you, fat little guy!"
"So, it’s safer if you go to the police station."
After saying that, Lin Xi turned and left.
Upon hearing Lin Xi’s words, Zhao Ritian looked at Zhao Tu and asked, "Uncle, is my brother right?"
Zhao Tu nodded and added, "Actually, even at the police station, we may not be safe!"
"After all, those four, except for that young man, no one in Chuzhou City can threaten them."
"I guess we’ll only be completely safe when our family arrives!"
"What should we do then?" Zhao Ritian, who still wanted to enjoy a lot of good times, definitely didn’t want to die.
It was Zhu Qi, who hadn’t spoken all this while, who said, "There’s actually a place where you’ll be absolutely safe without worrying about Hani and the others bothering you again!"
"Where is that?" Zhao Ritian asked quickly.
Zhao Tu and the old man also looked at Zhu Qi with puzzled expressions.
Zhu Qi coldly pointed towards Lin Xi, who was already ten meters away.
Lin Xi, after walking about twenty meters, started jogging; of course, his jogging speed was comparable to normal people running desperately.
Upon reaching the villa, he saw Teacher Mei sitting on the living room sofa with Lin Mengmeng.
Lin Mengmeng didn’t blink an eye, staring straight at the TV, watching an episode of the animated series Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf, in which Big Big Wolf was implementing a plan to catch a sheep to eat.
The plot was incredibly tense...
And Teacher Mei was browsing her phone.
As soon as she saw Lin Xi return, she immediately stood up and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin is back!"
Lin Xi smiled and nodded, "How’s Mengmeng’s studying today?"
Upon hearing this, Teacher Mei had the same strange expression as yesterday, "In less than two hours, Mengmeng learned everything I had prepared for the day."
"And it’s at a level of complete understanding and mastery."
"...."
It seemed that once lessons were mentioned, she became eloquent, of course, mostly in amazement at Mengmeng’s talent.
Lin Xi expressed his gratitude and, afterward, Teacher Mei also went home.
Lin Mengmeng, at this time, perhaps because the animated show had gone to commercial break, stood up and leaped into Lin Xi’s arms.
Actually, she wasn’t much shorter than Lin Xi.
So this scene was quite striking, and even to anyone watching, it didn’t look like a daughter jumping into her dad’s arms.
More crucially, she was wearing very little and was saying, "Daddy, Daddy, Daddy, I missed you!"
"I want a kiss, I want a hug, I want to be lifted high!"
Lin Xi, "....."
Did she learn this from cartoons?
If outsiders were around, they’d surely call Lin Xi a pervert.
Resigned, Lin Xi was about to persuade Lin Mengmeng, who was clinging to him, to get down, but before he could say anything, she voluntarily got down.
Lin Xi, "..."
Since the commercials were over, Lin Mengmeng sprawled lazily on the couch again, watching the show engrossedly, just like when he left in the morning, without any change.
He sighed gently, not expecting a goddess dragon to be captivated by Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf—no one would believe it if he told them!
As he was about to head to the kitchen, the door was pushed open.
At this moment, Bai Bing, clothed in her usual aloof and proud manner, walked in.
She nodded slightly at Lin Xi, then stopped paying attention to him, sitting next to Lin Mengmeng, clutching a cute pillow, and started watching the animated show with her.
Lin Xi, "..."
What is this world coming to?
Meanwhile, as Lin Xi’s figure disappeared, and hearing the sound of police sirens, Zhao Ritian and Zhao Tu decisively chased in Lin Xi’s direction.
While Zhu Qi and the old man briskly walked towards the University City direction.
The two of them didn’t need to worry about Hani and the others attacking them since Hani’s target wasn’t them, and it wouldn’t make any sense to attack them.
