Chapter 29

Threat

“No matter where you go, your final destination will be my arms!”

…

During lunch hour, Uncle Dumb served the food and left.

The vegetarian dishes were exquisite. Uncle Dumb picked the bamboo shoots from the bamboo forest in the morning and stir-fried them, making them crispy and refreshing.

There was clear-soup tofu garnished with fresh mint and a salad which had freshly-picked mango well-mixed into it, giving it a sweet and sour taste.

Paired with the fragrance of pumpkin porridge that had been boiled till it was gloopy…

Even Lei Xiao admired Uncle Dumb’s cooking skill.

However, halfway through the meal, there were some movements in the yard.

The chopsticks in Lin Hanxing’s hands paused.

She let out a casual sneer.

These people really did not give her a moment of break.

“Let’s go out and have a look.”

Lin Hanxing got up and walked out the door.

There seemed to be no one at the spacious yard then, but there was a box right in front of the door.

The peregrine falcon was out looking for food so the yard was very quiet.

“Let me open it.” Lei Xiao’s voice sounded vigilant. Soon, he opened the box.

A strong bloody smell wafted through the air.

“Don’t look.” Lei Xiao recognized the person in the box.

Lin Hanxing turned a deaf ear and walked to the front.

Laying in the box was the boss’s wife who was coerced to set the fire the other day.

Lin Hanxing looked at the woman in the box. Her beautiful eyes gradually became frosty.

This was a warning from the other party.

It was also a threat from them.

They put in great effort for the sake of the tea garden and ancient tea tree.

“Courtesy suggests reciprocity,” she said softly, then slammed the box shut…

….

As night fell, the lights came on.

Lin Hanxing had already changed her outfit the moment she walked out of the room.

Her black silky sleeveless top with embroidered dark patterns complemented the ankle-length white skirt.

Two pearls dotted her earlobes.

She tied her slightly curled long hair into an updo as a few strands of hair fell along her cheeks.

Lei Xiao stood not far away, looking at her.

It could be out of delusion, Lei Xiao thought that at that moment, Lin Hanxing…

She did not look entirely like herself.

“Uncle Dumb, prepare our gift.”

…

The rendezvous spot was located at the most luxurious hotel in Mengsong.

As they entered, Lei Xiao’s gaze inadvertently landed at some secret place before he followed Lin Hanxing’s footsteps.

The whole hotel was closed for a private event which clearly showed the wealth of the man who booked the whole place.

Compared to the insignificant people whom he fought with before, the bodyguards present then were clearly more well-trained.

“Please wait outside.”

The bodyguard stretched out his hand to stop Lin Hanxing before she could push the door open and enter.

Before his hand approached her, an inexplicable oppression made him put up his guard.

“It isn’t necessary for the person inside to keep up appearances with me until now.”

Lin Hanxing did not say much to the bodyguard. She turned around and was about to leave.

“Ms. Lin…”

The taken aback bodyguard quickly stopped her—he did not know she was hot-tempered.

The tightly closed door behind her was opened from the inside.

“Ms. Lin is so hot-tempered.”

A low voice sounded in everyone’s ears. An intriguing smile slowly hung by Lin Hanxing’s mouth as her back faced him.

“I could never match you regardless of how bad my temper is.”

Lin Hanxing slowly turned around. Her smile was full of sarcasm.

As he wanted to speak, he was shocked when he saw her face!

His eyes were full of confusion…
