Chapter 2038: Chapter 2038: Three Million—Not Killing You!

After confirming that the assailant who injured him was indeed Xiao Zheng, Cao Xin completely lost his mind.

He attributed all the blame to Mo Anna.

Cao Xin believed that it was Mo Anna who orchestrated everything behind the scenes, aiming to terminate the contract with his Cao’s Medicine Shop.

Once he thought he had figured everything out, Cao Xin was determined to start his revenge.

He then took out his phone from his pocket and began searching through the contacts list. After scrolling through many pages, he finally found someone named Lin Yi.

However, as Cao Xin’s finger hovered over Lin Yi’s name, ready to dial the number at any moment, a trace of hesitation appeared on his face.

Seeing Lin Yi’s name, a hint of awe flickered deep in his eyes.

It was as if this person named Lin Yi was a more terrifying existence than floods and fierce beasts.

Nevertheless, this awe ultimately couldn’t surpass Cao Xin’s hatred for Mo Anna.

With a hardened expression, he finally dialed the number.

After the phone rang three times, it was connected.

"Hello."

A slightly hoarse voice came from the phone.

The other party sounded like someone whose throat had been slit, making the conversation uncomfortable to hear.

Yet, Cao Xin didn’t show the slightest discomfort; instead, he laughed apologetically and said: "Hello, Master Lin, I’m Cao Xin from the Cao Family. We met once before in Xiangnan."

"Cao Xin? Don’t remember." Lin Yi sounded very indifferent, and his words were not polite at all.

Even so, Cao Xin dared not show any grievance on his face, and he said: "In front of you, I can only be considered a minor character, so it’s normal you don’t remember. However, I’m calling this time in hopes you can help me kill two people."

"In this world, asking someone for help requires a price to be paid." Lin Yi continued with his hoarse voice.

Upon hearing this, Cao Xin quickly said: "I understand your rules, rest assured, the remuneration will definitely not be lacking when the time comes. How about this, you quote a price first, how does that sound?"

"First, tell me who the targets are." Lin Yi didn’t seem too anxious.

After hearing his words, Cao Xin quickly replied: "One man and one woman, both are high-ranking members of a corporation. Because of business conflicts with me, I want them dead."

"The woman is just an ordinary person, but the man is a bit more troublesome. He should be a martial artist, his realm shouldn’t be lower than a first-rate expert."

Cao Xin, though not skilled in martial arts, knew about the divisions of martial artist realms.

After listening to his description, Lin Yi was briefly silent, then said: "I can help you kill them, but the price, at the very least, will be three million."

Three million?

Upon hearing this number, Cao Xin was taken aback.

He completely didn’t expect Lin Yi’s quote to be this high.

It took him a full half-minute to finally regain his composure, then nervously said: "Master Lin, isn’t the three million price a bit too high? It’s just killing two people, why charge so much?"

"Three million is considered expensive? Heh, then hire someone else more skilled." Lin Yi coldly said on the other end of the phone, "You just said that man’s skill won’t be lower than a first-rate expert. He might very well be a Great Grandmaster Realm expert."

"Even if I want to kill him, it will take considerable effort, so he is worth the price."

"In short, the minimum is three million. If you’re unwilling, then forget it."

After saying that, he pretended to hang up.

Upon sensing Lin Yi’s decisiveness, Cao Xin began to panic and quickly said: "Master Lin, wait! Please don’t hang up! I’ll pay the three million! Can you come to Zhonghai City sometime? We’ll discuss the specifics of the task after we meet?"

Driven by his anger towards Mo Anna and Xiao Zheng, Cao Xin finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yi said: "Transfer the money first, then I’ll naturally reach out to you."

No work unless payment is made first.

This is one of Lin Yi’s specialties.

Since Cao Xin had dealt with him once long ago, he wasn’t too surprised. After responding, he hurriedly ended the call. After hanging up, his phone received a text message from Lin Yi.

The message contained only a string of bank account numbers. Cao Xin opened his mobile banking app and quickly transferred the three million.

Though seeing his account suddenly three million short made him feel intense pain, the thought of Lin Yi about to act and the imminent revenge relaxed his heart. The excitement of avenging finally subsided the sting of loss.

Cao Xin firmly believed in Lin Yi’s skills; he didn’t think Xiao Zheng and Mo Anna could escape Lin Yi’s pursuit.

Just recalling the terrifying incident in Xiangnan ten years ago made him shiver with fear!

At that time, the Cao Family and another family were fighting over a drug garden. Initially, there was a dispute, which eventually escalated into a fierce battle, and people died as a result. Among them was Cao Xin’s second uncle, who died at the hands of that family.

The death of Cao Xin’s second uncle drove the Cao Family mad.

To seek revenge, Cao Wangtian, the family head of the Cao Family back then, directly contacted five extraordinarily mysterious masters for help, with Lin Yi being one of them. When Cao Xin first saw these five masters, he thought his grandfather was lying.

Because Lin Yi and the others were all dressed like peasants, looking as if they’d just come back from working in the field, their pants dotted with mud spots, with no air of experts at all.

Yet the events of that night completely overturned Cao Xin’s perception of Lin Yi and the others!

In just one night, they killed all the Cao Family’s enemies! Although Cao Xin was young at the time, he still followed the adults to watch!

When they carried out corpses from the mansion, Cao Xin was immediately petrified!

There were no visible wounds on these bodies, yet each one was pale-faced, grimacing in horror, as if they had been scared to death!

The scene was exactly like something out of a horror movie!

From that moment on, Lin Yi and his companions’ image in Cao Xin’s heart became immensely grand!

After transferring the money to Lin Yi, Cao Xin finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Even the smile on his face reappeared.

"Heh, Mo Anna, you bitch!"

"Just you wait and see, daring to trick Laozi, Laozi will definitely make sure you die!"

Cao Xin’s expression turned sinister, appearing extremely fierce and terrifying.
