On the way back to the hotel, Xiao Zheng maintained his silence. He held the electronic cigarette in his mouth as he thought about the Heroes Ranking Board.
He was not surprised that Bai Wuxia was on the list. From the short fight, Xiao Zheng could deeply understand how powerful Bai Wuxia was. But who were the other seven? Luo Yingxiong, whom even Donnie's father respected so much, did not dare to reveal it. This was enough to prove that these seven people were all experts among experts.
Was there one person guarding the Shang family that night? At least when Xiao Zheng entered the Shang family, he could feel a terrifying power. This was also the reason why Xiao Zheng did not dare to act recklessly. Of course, he did not plan to do anything when he barged into the Shang family. He only wanted to show the Shang family, to let everyone know that he, Xiao Zheng, was not a pushover.
When he returned to the hotel, Lin Huayin was still working at her desk as if she was at home. It was as if work occupied all her time, and nothing else could attract her attention.
"Still working?" Xiao Zheng walked up and brought her a glass of milk.
"Where's Xiao Zhu?"
Lin Huayin, who had been busy for the entire afternoon, rubbed her slightly swollen eyebrows and looked up.
"Next door. He said that he drank two cups of wine and felt a little tired. "Xiao Zheng smiled. "He probably went to rest."
Lin Huayin took a sip of milk and noticed that there were some slight defects on Xiao Zheng's finger bones. She frowned and asked, "What's wrong?"
"I met an elder." Xiao Zheng smiled and explained.
"Another fight?" Lin Huayin questioned.
"It was a spar." Xiao Zheng said. "The elder is an expert, a legendary figure. And he was the one who challenged me, I only accepted the challenge. "
"Why did he challenge you instead of me?" Lin Huayin said unhappily. "Isn't it because you made a name for yourself?"
Xiao Zheng said awkwardly, "Isn't it good for me to make a name for myself? Do you want me to be a useless man? "
"Fame doesn't necessarily come from your fists," Lin Huayin said in a low voice. "True experts don't win with their fists."
Xiao Zheng knew that Lin Huayin did not like to fight. Back then, when she was fighting with a master and sparring with Bai Wuxia, she showed a strong aversion to it. Now, he had just gone out for a while, and now he had to fight with someone. If she didn't respond at all, then Xiao Zheng could leave tactfully.
Most of the time, Xiao Zheng was happy to listen to Lin Huayin's arrangements. Because in many aspects, Lin Huayin was indeed more far-sighted than him, and she had a better grasp of the overall situation. But in this aspect, Xiao Zheng turned a deaf ear to it. He had never intended to carry it out.
It was not that there was anything wrong with what Lin Huayin said. In fact, in Xiao Zheng's opinion, what Lin Huayin said was quite philosophical. But it was only for ordinary people, or Lin Huayin's world. It did not conform to Xiao Zheng's worldview.
What did he rely on to survive until today?
What did he rely on to have everything he had today?
The orphanage of the old dean, the safety of the brothers who had risked their lives for him, and even the dangers of life and death again and again.
It was none other than his pair of iron fists, and his superb skills that he had honed after going through fire and water. He had never lost before, and he would never allow himself to lose in the future.
The spirit of not admitting defeat had long been buried deep in his bones, flowing into his blood. Crisis after crisis, he relied on this willpower to persevere. But now, Lin Huayin hoped that he would not always fight outside. Although this was a good thing, and it did not go against Xiao Zheng's will, but Xiao Zheng knew that if this fire was extinguished, he was destined to lose one day. If he lost, the price could be his life.
How could Xiao Zheng put himself in a disadvantageous situation? In this world, who would voluntarily put their own life in danger?
"I promise you, I will never take the initiative to cause trouble," Xiao Zheng said word by word.
Lin Huayin looked at Xiao Zheng's serious expression, and she also understood that Xiao Zheng rarely took the initiative to cause trouble. If she still forced him not to cause trouble, it would be too much.
Nodding slightly, Lin Huayin took the initiative to end this topic, and glanced at the electronic cigarette in Xiao Zheng's hand. "Are you used to it?"
"It's okay. It's just a bit weak. "Xiao Zheng smiled. "Can you buy me some high-concentration liquid next time?"
"Slowly get used to it." Seeing Xiao Zheng's insatiable request, Lin Huayin's attitude was firm. "When you get used to it, you can quit smoking completely."
She had even endured such a difficult bath with them.
Isn't it just quitting smoking?
Is it so difficult?
"If I succeed in quitting smoking, will there be any reward?" Xiao Zheng suddenly had a mischievous heart, and asked very badly.
Lin Huayin's delicate body slightly tightened, and she raised her eyes to glare at Xiao Zheng. "Quit first."
…
It was a silent night.
The two people who were jet-lagged fell asleep early. Getting up early the next morning, Xiao Zheng ate the breakfast prepared by Lin Huayin. Lin Xiaozhu also came from next door. The three people had a hearty breakfast around the table, talking and laughing.
At ten o 'clock in the morning, the three people went out on time. First, they strolled around several famous scenic spots, and had lunch in a western restaurant. Then they played all the way until the evening. The three people played to their heart's content. Even Lin Huayin, who rarely took photos, took a few photos in several scenic spots. Her expression was slightly stiff, and it was difficult to show her beauty to the extreme. But even if there was no sense of the camera, and there was no sexy and charming posture, the photos were still perfect. Like a star postcard, it was extremely bright.
After a crazy day, the three people returned to the hotel at eight o 'clock in the evening, ordered room service, and decided to have dinner in the suite. While Lin Huayin and Lin Xiaozhu were taking a bath, Xiao Zheng turned on his mobile phone to check several messages he received in the afternoon.
It was from little Ruth.
"Sir, I saw you in Times Square today."
After reading the first text message, Xiao Zheng felt that this woman must be up to no good.
How could it be so coincidental? I just arrived in New York the second day, and he met me in Times Square? It must be deliberate.
"Sir, if you have time, come and see our boss. Since she can't speak, her temperament has changed a lot. She doesn't like to smile like before — "
Xiao Zheng patiently read the second text message, and his heart was slightly sour. When he was about to answer, little Ruth sent the third text message in time.
"Sir, didn't you see the text message? Well, I admit that the contents of the first two text messages are fake to a certain extent. The real reason I am looking for you is that the boss is in trouble and needs your help. If you have time, please be sure to meet as soon as possible. It's very urgent. "
