Chapter 637 - Linfeng Makes a Move (II)

Linfeng laughed. 

His girlfriend's voice made him instantly calm down. 

The inexplicably heavy emotions in his c.h.e.s.t disappeared.

"Why? Are you missing me?" 

"...Un. I miss you."

"I miss you, too."

The tone of the woman's voice lightened faintly. "Also, there's only one week left before the succession war comes to conclusion. Guan Gao Huan is still up on his high horse. We need to do something to bring him down."

"I understand. I'm already done at this side. I will just start a new investigation in another country."

"...Why?"

"I found a new lead. I will tell it to you once I return."

"That's good. But you have to be careful. The more we are near the truth the more dangerous it is. Don't let any of them notice you." Xiong Zhi doesn't know yet what was Linfeng's newfound information was, but she could sense from Linfeng's voice that it was something big. Probably one of the major leads that could bring Guan Gao Huan down.

She had learned from Linfeng before he went abroad that Guan Gao Huan might be a fake Guan. If it was the truth, then it could cause Guan Gao Huan's destruction without a doubt. There's no way a fake Guan could inherit the Guan Empire.

All the more reason for them to find the truth.

And the first thing they need to do was to find evidences. That's why Linfeng took flight and investigated personally. 

"I will keep that in mind. I will be careful." Linfeng gently said to Xiong Zhi.

"Come back soon, Linfeng."

"I will." Linfeng stared at the city lights. "Since there is only one week left, it should be time for me to make a move."

"Un, I have the same thoughts..."

They discussed their plan for a while.

Then they fell silent. It was time to say goodbye.

They listened to each other's breathing for a long time.

"Linfeng..."

"Hmm?"

"After this, you really need to compensate me." The investigation was important. But having Linfeng by her side was the priority. Being far away from Linfeng made the lonely woman become lonelier.

The man who was drinking wine under the dim glow of the city lights smiled knowingly.

"Oh? How do you want me to compensate you, Zhi'er?"

"...Warm hugs and many kisses."

"Kiss, on the cheek?"

"....No, I want you to kiss me deeply. I want you to wrap your arms around me. I want to feel your body against mine..." Xiong Zhi initially just wanted to explain, but the taste became unusual somehow. 

Her tone became slower and lower.

She could hear the man's breathing become heavier. She suddenly felt a bit... excited.

"I miss your large warm hands, Linfeng, they always felt hot on my skin..."

"Zhi'er."

"...I want to, to do that again..." Her voice became shy.

"You're making me crazy, Zhi'er!" 

Linfeng breathed deeply to calm his rioting heart and restless body that was heating up.

Blame him for riling up his girlfriend! 

The enchanting voice of the woman whom he wanted to push down and take right now sounded again to his ears. 

"You must make it up for me when you return, Linfeng." Xiong Zhi felt smug for getting a satisfying reaction from Linfeng. The books speak the truth. Flirting through the phone could make someone felt-cough-thirsty.

Linfeng chuckled hotly. "Of course. I made you all alone and lonely." He purposely made his voice lower and huskier, knowing that the other loved it.

"...Hmph. All you know is to tease me, devious guy."

"I always lose to you anyway, don't I?"

"Let's finish this soon, okay? You still owe me a date."

Linfeng kissed the phone. "I will. I'll see you soon."

After exchanging more sweet nothings with Xong Zhi for farewell, the call finally ended. 

Linfeng breathed hotly for a while. After tasting the forbidden fruit, it was harder to control his body's reaction towards her. It had been a long time since they did that.

When his body finally cooled down, Linfeng dialed Jang Shin's number. The call was immediately answered.

"Linfeng, you evil capitalist! How long are you going to stay there? You just left!"

"I am coming back. You can start now."

There was a pause.

"Start? I can really release it now?!"

"Yes."

Jang Shin laughed happily. "I have been waiting for this! Alright, I will start right away. Shinichi will be happy with this news, too."

After leaving some instructions to Jang Shin, Linfeng was left alone again in silence.

No matter what Guan Gao Huan's true identity was, he was still someone they needed to remove from their way.

**********

Guan Gao Huan was watching the stock market rise in his favor. He had a light smile painted on his face. 

Guan Gu Ri, the eldest, was already out of the picture. There were only a few days left. Guan Gu Ri would not be able to turn the tables around and catch up with him and his second brother.

Guan Gao Huan's golden eyes were watching the close fight with Guan Xixin. 

His and Guan Xixin's influence were now almost at the same caliber. The Guan Empire was wholly divided by him and the Second Young Master Guan.

The door opened and Lu Jin came in. The expressionless man sat across him.

"What do you want to talk about?" Lu Jin asked as he sat. 

"There's only a few days left before the succession war ends. I just need a bit of push for me to outrank Guan Xixin. But I think there is no need for me to do that. I should just push him downwards so that I can claim the first place easily."

Lu Jin looked at Guan Gao Huan. "Then what do you want me to do? I am already busy as it is for the upcoming event."

Lu Jin was busy taking care of IAmFashionista's gathering of VVIPs for the election. Since the event was coming nearer, Lu Jin was busy making sure that none of their people would suddenly stab them on their back.

This event must go perfectly at all cost.

Guan Gao Huan understood that. 

"I know. I only need you to make a mess of Guan Xixin. I checked, IHZHI is apparently helping him. There is a project abroad that Guan Xixin is eyeing. I need your influence in that country to sabotage their business talks."

"...."

Lu Jin was quiet as he thought about it. He was about to answer back when his phone beeped a notification. 

Guan Gao Huan's phone made a similar sound as well. 

The two men looked at each other. To receive a notification at the same time, something major must be happening.

Lu Jin picked up his phone and saw his subordinate's report.

His brows instantly furrowed.

"F.u.c.k!" Guan Gao Huan stood up in shock and cursed loudly. 

He received the same information as Lu Jin did.

The man immediately dialed his secretary's number. Unexpectedly, the other line kept ringing for a few minutes. 

Lu Jin stayed quiet while listening to his friend's angry expletives. He had already expected this kind of surprise. Unfortunately, his friend was not prepared for it.
