Free Web NovelChapter 1137: Chapter 1107: The Used Person
"Dan Qing?" Xiao Lin called out these two words coldly. He swiftly lunged forward, grabbed Wing’s collar, and pulled him up from the ground with flames flickering in his eyes. "How many more people around me do you intend to target?"
Wing glanced at the collar that was grabbed, knowing it would inevitably lead to misunderstandings, but explanations were unnecessary now. Whatever he said, Xiao Lin wouldn’t believe it. "The Dan Clan operates in the northeast, a group that certain forces pay a lot of attention to and hope to exploit—not just for the group’s inherent mystery, but also because it operates in a border area with its own system and corresponding connections. So the old man would definitely seize control of it before taking action against Quan Xianglin, and accidentally saving Dan Qing gave the old man an opportunity."
"When did he find out that Dan Qing is the Clan Leader of the Dan Clan?" Xiao Lin asked. When he was stationed to look into the Dan Clan, it was already hinted that the clan, far in the northeast, had spent many years searching for someone. At the time, he didn’t think it was Dan Qing until Dan Ning came knocking, and he was shocked by the truth.
"The day you got engaged to Xia Xue, when Wu Shuang took the perpetrator away!"
Bang! A solid fist landed on Wing’s face. "At that time, I still considered you my best brother!" Yelu Shou was also stunned for a moment, and then quickly darted behind Xiao Lin, hugging him tightly. "Let go!" Xiao Lin yelled, a layer of tears in his eyes, which returned to pitch black as he blinked. He broke free from Yelu Shou’s arms, exhaling heavily.
"In fact, it took very little time to persuade the Dan Clan to cooperate with our Xiao Family. Dan Qing agreed without hesitation but suddenly fled to Sicily just as we were preparing to sign the agreement, which I think is related to you. When I planned to take Dan Ning away, a group of mysterious people appeared, causing Dan Ning to lose his trail halfway, and despite my extensive investigation, I couldn’t find out the background of this group. Dan’s Assassin Group has been tracking them tirelessly until a shipment departed from Yanjing to Sicily, where their traces were finally discovered, which is why you encountered them on the cargo ship."
"Dan’s Assassin Group!"
"Yes! Dan’s Assassin Corporation, I understand you came for them." Wing sat back down in front of Xiao Lin, this time in a kneeling position. "You might think that they all wear the same mask, like when you saw me before, but in fact, those are their actual faces. I can’t explain it to you very clearly; it’s related to the history of their organization, which is part of the Dan Clan’s mystery. But I want to say that when Keeper Zhu killed one of them, a feud was already established."
Xiao Lin savored Wing’s words, glancing at Yelu Shou after a long time. Did this mean ’Darkness’ was going to be plunged into crisis by him?
"Listening to this, it seems like my future days won’t be as smooth." Yelu Shou shrugged, understanding as soon as he received Xiao Lin’s gaze. Wing was not warning but stating an unavoidable fact. "Can you leak some information, at least let me know what kind of enemy I will face in the future? Even if I die, I want to die knowing, right!" Yelu Shou said with extreme ease, and Xiao Lin grabbed him, his eyes full of determination.
"I don’t care who they are, but you better listen clearly, from this moment don’t ever think of using the people around me again. I won’t go easy on you and your men; anyone who obstructs me will be eliminated."
"Young Master!" Wing looked at Xiao Lin in shock, blinking in confusion.
"Whatever plan you and the old man have is your business, don’t use the people around me, don’t try to force me like that again, and don’t touch Dan Qing."
Feeling there was nothing left to say, Xiao Lin bypassed Wing, who was kneeling on the ground. The sun had already risen in the sky, and a new beginning still walked from the original starting point. For him, nothing changed; forgiveness or non-forgiveness, right or wrong, were irrelevant. Xiao Lin’s somewhat forlorn back made Yelu Shou feel a chill. Whether to leave Wing alone or confront him directly was uncertain. He knew the reluctance in the guy in front of him. Still, Wing chose to stand on the old man’s side, not weighing it on right or wrong; after all, the Xiao Family was in a critical situation. All decisions had to consider the Xiao Family first. Wing’s choice wasn’t wrong at all. If there was a wrong, it was predetermined from the start. Among their five individuals, Wing and Xiao Mu were the closest, and there’s a reason for that.
"Lin! The Three Eastern Provinces." Yelu Shou called to Xiao Lin, who was hanging his head. Dan Ning was just at the hallway’s end, seemingly waiting for a long time.
"The target has become much simpler." After a glance at Dan Ning, Xiao Lin walked straight into the elevator. "Mu Rongyun and Wang Zhanting!"
Yelu Shou nodded submissively. Mu Rongyun was an inevitable target for Xiao Lin, and Wang Zhanting was Xiao Lin’s way of settling accounts with Hua Qingyi. But behind both was possibly the same orchestrator, who might also face off against Wing. Although their goals were the same, their methods were indeed unsettling.
The room’s door was pushed open, and Dan Ning entered, still where Wing was kneeling. "Why don’t you explain?"
Wing sighed silently, once considered betrayal as lifelong betrayal. "Can the Assassin Group avoid targeting Yelu Shou?"
"It’s difficult! You know that even Dan Qing can’t stop this from happening, Yelu Shou will definitely be hunted." Dan Ning dismissed Yi’s wishful thinking. "He only took out the youngest of their twelve, the strength of the others is something neither you nor I fully understand, and I stopped Xiao Lin from killing another one. You should clearly understand my intention."
Yi nodded. "Shao Weihua is anxious about it, I will investigate the matter with the Angel, someone has been manipulating us ’Black Crow’." Robert was sent by Shao Weihua, with Level Seven and the Joker appearing as support, so there’s a possible motive for the Angel. "Nicholas is not the one sent to kill you, I know ’Black Crow’, and the Angel would not act without a mission."
"Yi, do we really have to go against Xiao Lin..."
"I know Xiao Lin better than you, he’s definitely someone who does what he says!"
"I’ve seen people eager to die, but never so urgently." Dan Ning’s words prompted laughter from Yi.
"The plan won’t change, the old man has decided to make the final stand against Quan Xianglin here, so we’ll be very busy in the coming days."
"What? Xiao Zhenfeng is coming to Sicily? Then doesn’t that mean Xiao Lin is..."
Yi smiled bitterly. "The young master is still the one the old man has his eyes on!"
Yelu Shou, walking out of ’Wagang Nai’, grabbed the absent-minded Xiao Lin, someone he had never seen so distracted, without the slightest guard. "What are you doing? Are you planning to go back like this? Making Xia Xue worry as she watches, or maybe you want to just get hit by a car and be done with it?" The scene just now tugged at Yelu Shou’s heartstrings, as Xiao Lin was only half a step away from a passing car, and with the dawn just breaking, the road was so clear it could be used as a racetrack.
"I am just someone who can be used, and if I don’t obey, I will be removed, just like those brothers and sisters." Xiao Lin inexplicably said something that Yelu Shou couldn’t understand, with a hint of sadness in his words, as Yelu Shou draped an arm around Xiao Lin’s shoulders.
"Let’s go, your wife is waiting for you!" He flashed a sunny smile at Xiao Lin, but his gaze lingered on the shadow behind them. "We have a lot to do."
Shao Weihua slammed the phone down heavily, his small eyes radiating a murderous intent. Wang Zhanting, sitting with his legs crossed on the sofa, wore a nonchalant expression.
The Magician was still standing in the dark corner as usual, and this time only the codename Level Seven appeared before everyone, his burly frame blocking the view between Shao Weihua and Wang Zhanting.
Shao Weihua glared with his small eyes sparking with fury. "Where is the person? Where is the person I want?" As soon as he stopped speaking, an unidentified object was hurled at Level Seven’s head. It was dodged with a bang and fell to the ground behind him with a sound. The Magician standing in the corner lifted his head slightly under a black top hat, like someone waking from a nap and looking around in confusion, only to return to his original position when finding nothing unusual.
Level Seven frowned, a hint of murderous intent appeared on his masculine face, but Shao Weihua, in his irritation, didn’t notice it. "I hired you all for what purposes, unable to handle such a small matter, and you left Robert at ’Wagang Nai’, is your ’Black Crow’ competent or not? If not, say so early, so I can report to Chairman Quan and replace you."
Level Seven silently shifted his steps and prepared to leave. He was always more inclined to act than to speak, especially with those he despised, moving quickly.
Another unidentified object flew towards the back of Level Seven’s head. Shao Weihua couldn’t tolerate such disdain from underlings. He might be wary of the Magician off to the side, but he completely disregarded the burly man in front of him. To him, these people were merely pawns under his rule. Here, you are merely the soldiers in my hand.
With a swoosh, Wang Zhanting, flipping a newspaper at the side, felt a gust lift his paper, and in the blink of an eye, the bulky figure before him disappeared without a trace. As he reappeared, an extremely tragic scream was heard. Shao Weihua, startled, tried to hide under the table, and the bulky man landed silently on his desk. (To be continued.
