Luo Yingxiong strode into the living room and respectfully reported to the anxious Donnie, "Young Master. There's news. "
"What's the result?!" Donnie jumped up and nervously grabbed Luo Yingxiong's arm. "Is my master alright?"
"He's injured, but it shouldn't be a problem for Xiao Zheng," Luo Yingxiong patiently explained.
"That's good." Donnie heaved a sigh of relief and curiously asked. "What about Hussain?"
"Decapitated." Luo Yingxiong looked excited. "His head was cut off by Xiao Zheng."
"Master is mighty! Haha! " Downey was so excited, it was as though he would be the one to lead this battle and defeat Hossein. His entire being was in a state of excitement.
Luo Yingxiong shook his head in disappointment, "Looks like he didn't use his full strength last time. Otherwise, I might end up like Hussain. "
Donnie proudly waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Luo. Master won't make things difficult for you for my sake."
Luo Yingxiong dryly coughed and smiled. "Young Master, congratulations on having a peerless master. With his teachings, I believe it won't take long for you to become a first-rate master. "
Donnie excitedly asked, "Uncle Luo, according to what you said, my master defeated Hussain and became a peerless master?"
"Not only that," Luo Yingxiong said with a smile. "There's an unwritten rule on the Hero List. Whoever defeats someone on the list will become one of the new generation's Eight Absolutes. And the defeated will automatically withdraw. "
"Even if they don't withdraw, there are only seven of the Eight Absolutes left!" Donnie proudly said. "My master is worthy of it!"
Luo Yingxiong smiled and said, "I really want to see how intense this battle is."
"I want to see it too." Donnie's expression suddenly changed and he excitedly said. "Uncle Luo. If I have a way for you to see it, will you agree to train with me? "
Luo Yingxiong glanced at Donnie and smiled. "A gentleman keeps his word."
"I won't go back on my word!" Donnie laughed. "Uncle Luo, as far as I know, there are surveillance cameras in the meeting room. As long as we can get the chassis, won't we be able to watch it on the big screen? "
Luo Yingxiong's eyes lit up, and he said with a gratified expression, "Yes!"
…
Living with the cold Lin Huayin, Xiao Zheng often needed to take the initiative to stir up his emotions, whether it was to stimulate the atmosphere or to find a topic to talk about. When Xiao Zheng was silent, Lin Huayin was like a machine that suddenly lost power, instantly falling into standby mode. But not Sofia. Even though she had become mute, during the day that Xiao Zheng was bedridden, other than when he was resting, Sophia would always try her best to communicate with Xiao Zheng. Firstly, she was afraid that he would be depressed. Secondly, she was afraid that he would not take the initiative to ask for anything.
At first, Sophia used pen and paper to communicate with Xiao Zheng. After that, she probably felt that this method of communication would make Xiao Zheng impatient. He downloaded an app and wrote out what he wanted to say on his phone, then translated it.
The robotic voice on the phone was indeed a little cold, but when paired with Sophia's very caring questions, it was strangely warm.
"What do you want to eat for dinner? Chinese food or Western food? "Sophia picked up the phone and played it in Xiao Zheng's ear.
"Give me a spicy shredded beef and a tomato scrambled egg," Xiao Zheng ordered as he lay comfortably on the bed. "A bowl of winter melon soup would be perfect."
Sophia nodded and typed what she wanted to say into the phone again, "That's it?"
"That's enough," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "There's my favorite food, and there's also food delivered."
Hearing this, Sophia immediately ordered her servants to make arrangements. Xiao Zheng picked up his phone with difficulty and called Lin Huayin before Sophia left.
It was already four in the afternoon. Even if Lin Huayin did not take the initiative to ask him, he should have reported his schedule to Lin Huayin.
As soon as he made the call, it was connected. Lin Huayin's familiar and cold voice came from the other side of the phone. Just listening to this voice, Lin Huayin's fair and cold face appeared in Xiao Zheng's mind.
"Our flight is at 9: 30 tomorrow morning, right?" Xiao Zheng asked tentatively.
"Yes," Lin Huayin responded faintly, seemingly sensing Xiao Zheng's implied meaning. "What's the matter?"
"Yes —" Xiao Zheng dragged out the last syllable, trying hard to organize his words. "I might stay in New York for a few more days. I won't be able to go back for a while. "
"Okay," Lin Huayin said faintly. "Accompany Xiao Zhu when you have time."
"Understood," Xiao Zheng said with a smile. "I promise that I'll make sure that my sister-in-law is comfortable."
There was a moment of silence on the other side of the phone. Seeing that Xiao Zheng did not continue to speak, the cold voice came again, "Is there anything else?"
"Be careful on the road," Xiao Zheng said with concern. "It's been a troubled time for the company recently, and we have to move the headquarters. I shouldn't have asked for leave. There are some personal matters that I can't get away from — "
"It's okay." Lin Huayin was extremely generous in this aspect. No matter what request Xiao Zheng made, she never refused. It made Xiao Zheng feel quite embarrassed.
Xiao Zheng was silent for a moment, then volunteered, "If you need me when you go back, you must inform me immediately. I will return to China as soon as possible. "
"Okay."
After a short conversation, Lin Huayin hung up the phone without hesitation. She was the same as her office style, never sloppy.
Xiao Zheng hung up the phone, turned his head slightly, and saw Sophia standing quietly at the door. She was staring at him with a subtle look.
"It's not polite to eavesdrop on other people's phone conversations." Xiao Zheng rolled his eyes at Sophia and teased.
Sophia walked closer to Xiao Zheng and typed in what she wanted to say on her cell phone. She played it for Xiao Zheng to hear. "Are you afraid that Lin Huayin will worry about you because of your injury?"
Xiao Zheng was stunned. He did not expect Sophia to ask him this. He could not help but say with a smile, "She is different from me. She has never experienced fighting and killing, and I don't want to delay her work. "
Hearing this, Sophia continued to use the phone to pass on her thoughts, "She is Lin Chaotian's daughter. Even if she has not experienced it, she must have heard a lot of inside stories. How can her psychological quality be so poor? "
Xiao Zheng said with a smile, "Her psychological quality is her own business. My actions only represent my thoughts. "
"You don't even dare to let her know that you are injured." Sophia's expression was a little strange. She continued to use the phone to pass on the message. "It seems that no one can replace her position in your heart."
Xiao Zheng tilted his head and glanced at Sophia. He squinted his eyes and said with a smile, "Can I understand that you are jealous?"
Sophia continued to use the phone to pass on the message, "I do envy her. You value her so much. "
"Aren't you too heartless?" Xiao Zheng teased. "I just got seriously injured because of you."
A smile flashed across Sophia's face. "I just envy her. But I am also very touched by what you have done for me. "
Xiao Zheng curled his lips and said, "Will a woman as ruthless and resourceful as you be as calculative as other women?"
"As long as she is a woman, she will definitely be calculative." Sophia typed in the phone and played it.
"She doesn't seem to be calculative." Xiao Zheng said with a smile.
"It's not that she doesn't care. It's that you don't even give her a chance to care. "Sophia held the phone. "You and her have been together for so long, when have you not let her, coaxed her, and stood on her side? Even if a second woman rushed out to fight with her, I'm afraid you would choose her without hesitation. Am I right? "
Xiao Zheng frowned slightly. He had never thought of such a headache. He shook his head and said, "Up until now, nothing like what you said has happened."
"That's because all women have a tacit understanding. They know that no one can compete with her. "Sophia's expression was rather melancholy. "Otherwise. Do you think there are women who would rather be small than big? "
