181: Chapter 181 Can we take a break?

181: Chapter 181 Can we take a break?

“Nonsense!”

Bai Lian and Lu Qian nodded in agreement.

Before Lin Fei left the house, someone had followed him, and as a result, he was caught and dragged to Taihe Club.

Lin Fei had interrogated for a while, but he encountered a tough nut who stubbornly refused to speak.

He still wasn’t talking.

Lin Fei stood in front of the man with a broken leg and spoke indifferently, “It seems you are really seeking death, aren’t you?”

Although the man’s face was distorted with pain, he still refused to utter a word.

Lin Fei frowned, “If he won’t talk, just do it!”

“Yes!”

Bai Lian and Lu Qian responded.

Afterward, Lin Fei drove back to Bixi Yunshan.

The man had looked into Martial Arts but had weak Cultivation, so Lin Fei wanted to ask him who had sent him to follow him, naturally wanting to know their purpose.

He suspected the Zhao family and the Su family, but neither seemed likely to track him—they would have just assassinated him directly.

As for the ghost, Ji Fenghua of the ghosts had visited once.

He also believed that a leader of an organization, who took the risk to meet him, wouldn’t betray him now, especially not so soon.

However, the other party didn’t speak, a clear indication he was like a sworn warrior.

“Forget it, he’ll surface sooner or later.”

Feeling the presence of his subordinates around the villa, Lin Fei was reassured.

Su Yuxue was not only his wife but also key to his advancement to higher levels of Cultivation, and the mother of his children, so naturally, she shouldn’t have issues.

Even now, she was sulking with him.

Because it was too late, Lin Fei even saw that the light in Su Yuxue’s room was still on.

He then headed towards her room, rubbing his hands and hoping, wondering if she might be waiting for him.

Knock!

Knock!

Two knocks sounded.

Her room lights turned off abruptly!

“…”

Lin Fei rolled his eyes, thinking viciously that later he’d show her just how formidable he was!

…

The next day, Lin Fei got up very early, stepped out of the villa, and began his morning run.

Of course, this was all a façade; he was actually filled with anticipation for an unexpected encounter with the woman who always exercised in the morning.

Sure enough, that woman seemed to pass by here at a specific time every morning.

Lin Fei greeted, “Morning!”

As usual, the woman completely ignored him and ran off.

Yet Lin Fei admired his own persistence; despite her coldness, he eagerly got up each morning full of anticipation.

It seemed to confirm the saying that men typically want what they can’t have while still eyeing other possibilities.

Of course, Lin Fei never considered himself to be what people traditionally call a good person.

After all, good and bad are not easily defined; things in this world aren’t simply black or white.

Lin Fei slowly ran behind her, feeling that sometimes this was quite a nice sensation.

Even sometimes, satisfying a man’s curiosity about a woman doesn’t necessarily require any specific action.

However, the woman stopped ahead after a while, turned around, and surprisingly spoke for the first time.

“Why haven’t I seen you these past few days?”

She looked at Lin Fei indifferently.

Lin Fei’s spirits lifted.

What was this?

Was this the so-called ‘sincerity moves stones’?

Had she gotten used to his presence and actually missed him after not seeing him for a few days?

“Heh, I’ve been busy these past few days and didn’t have time.”

Lin Fei jogged up to run alongside her.

The woman resumed her running, neither too fast nor too slow, and this time, Lin Fei didn’t deliberately fall behind.

“You’re an interesting person, running every day and still not as fast as me.”
