The ninth day of the first month.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, during the warmest time period in Kyushu City in the middle of winter, Lin Xiaocao's figure appeared at the train station in Kyushu City.

Kyushu City Railway Station is still full of people, during the Spring Festival, countless people return to their hometowns and leave home, the huge station is full of dense crowds, hurried to the exit of the station, or run to the train, the city's super fast pace, in the moment Lin Xiaocao stepped foot in Kyushu City, it came to the face.

In the crowd, Lin Xiaocao, who was wearing a windbreaker and sunglasses, did not move, just raised his head and carefully looked at every corner of the station, his eyes were covered by pitch-black lenses, and no one could see his eyes clearly.

This city, known as the capital, was not only the capital of the empire, but also had an extraordinary meaning for him.

This place where his life began, this place that afflicted him, this place where he gathered so much hatred.

Who would have thought that the child who had no other emotions in his eyes except despair would stand here one day?

Kyushu City, it's been a long time.

In the dense crowd like water, the corners of Lin Xiaocao's mouth, who was motionless and tilting his head, were gently raised, he took off his sunglasses casually, rubbed the muscles on his face with both hands, and when he put his hands down again, the expressionless face just now had already revealed a natural smile.

Holding the luggage on the ground tightly in his hand, Lin Xiaocao took a deep breath, followed the crowd, and strode towards the exit of the station.

When there was still some distance from the exit of the station, Lin Xiaocao, who always paid attention to the surrounding environment, had already discovered the person who came to pick him up at the station.

A well-dressed old man with white hair and a well-dressed man holding his lower abdomen with his hands in his hands, smiling and smiling, with kind eyebrows, behind him, two sturdy and imposing men held a big sign with the words Lin Xiaocao written on it, standing quietly.

Perhaps the aura of the three of them was too strong, and in the dense crowd, a small vacuum area was formed around the three of them, separated from the crowd around them, which looked very abrupt.

Lin Xiaocao's smile slowly retracted, carried his luggage, walked through the crowd, came straight to the three of them, and said straight to the point: "I am Lin Xiaocao." Two hours ago, I spoke with Mr. Lin Huaiyu on the phone. ”

When he said Lin Huaiyu's three words, Lin Xiaocao's eyes became more and more calm.

Before Lin Xiaocao got closer, he had already noticed that his old man's eyebrows moved violently, his smile stiffened slightly, and he couldn't help but look at Lin Xiaocao carefully.

Although I knew that it was a young man who was going to pick up this time, but the one in front of me seemed to be a little too young, this young man who looked like he was only twenty-two or three years old, could really protect the key person of the family unharmed?

The worry in the old man's eyes flashed away, his stiff smile stretched again, he looked at Lin Xiaocao with a kind face, took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and smiled warmly: "Hello, Mr. Lin, I am the housekeeper of the Lin family, Ah Fu, and the master sent me to pick you up." ”

Lin Xiaocao nodded, stretched out his hand to shake the old housekeeper, and said indifferently: "Thank you, Elder Fu." ”

There was an old man with a vulgar name who didn't care about Lin Xiaocao's reserved attitude, and with a smile and a wave of his hand, he led Lin Xiaocao out of the station.

There was a decent black Audi parked outside the train station, and the two men brought by Fu Lao sat in the driver's seat and the co-pilot's seat without saying a word, and the old butler who seemed to be smiling at all times sat in the back row with Lin Xiaocao.

The wind and sun are beautiful in Kyushu Castle.

Under the warm sun, the Audi drove smoothly on the street, but the old and the young in the back of the car were silent and thinking about their thoughts.

"Mr. Lin, is it your first time in the capital?"

The old butler let go of the uneasiness and worries in his heart, took the lead in breaking the silence, and asked with a smile, Many people in the empire are used to calling Kyushu City the capital, and at the feet of the Son of Heaven, the capital is important, and this title is not impossible.

"Fu Lao can call me Xiaocao, Mr. Lin's title is not pleasing to the ear. I left Kunlun from here when I was very young, and it was the first time I came back in so many years. ”

Lin Xiaocao retracted his gaze looking out the window, looked at the old housekeeper and smiled calmly.

The old housekeeper nodded, as if he was a little surprised, glanced at Lin Xiaocao, did not feel uncomfortable at all, and smiled casually: "I didn't expect this, Xiaocao's home is also in the capital?

"It's gone. ”

Lin Xiaocao's eyes narrowed, but he didn't hesitate to answer.

Fu Lao responded, and when he saw Lin Xiaocao turn his gaze to the bustling high-rise buildings outside the window, he also smiled and stopped talking.

The location of the Lin family in the capital is in the third Tiangong Mansion, saying that it is a house, but in fact it is a mountain, from the mountainside to the top of the mountain, there are thirty mansions distributed, the scenery is beautiful, the atmosphere is magnificent, any of the heads of households in it can not be said that a stomp can make the capital shake, but at least it is also a well-known big man, quite famous. Audi entered directly from the gate at the foot of the mountain, without stopping, all the way up the wind, and only stopped when Kankan was close to the top of the mountain, what appeared in front of Lin Xiaocao's eyes was a villa full of modern atmosphere dotted with green mountains and green waters.

With four floors and an area of nearly 3,000 square meters, such a mansion in the huge capital can also be regarded as a symbol of status.

"The Lin family is really rich. ”

Lin Xiaocao, who had been silent most of the time along the way, looked at the villa in front of him and suddenly smiled.

Fu Lao was slightly stunned, and then his face became a little reserved, and he smiled: "Our Lin family still has some strength in the capital, and friends at all levels will also give some face." ”

To Fuber's surprise, Lin Xiaocao, who was still very emotional just now, just responded this time, and directly pushed the car door and got out of the car.

The door of the villa opened just right, and a tall young woman stood calmly at the door, looking at Lin Xiaocao who had just gotten out of the car, her eyes were gentle and calm, but with a hint of imperceptible scrutiny.

This is a very beautiful woman.

The standard melon seed face, long hair, and bright eyes are worthy of the evaluation of picturesque eyebrows.

But the most impressive thing is her temperament, which is unique, strong, quiet, and has a trace of pride that is not annoying.

A woman without temperament may be beautiful, but a beautiful woman is definitely temperamental.

The so-called goddess is a woman who successfully combines temperament and appearance.

Standing in front of the villa and looking at Lin Xiaocao, she is undoubtedly the kind of stunner who can make countless men go forward and bow down on the altar at her feet.

Lin Xiaocao's eyes were in a trance for a moment, and then he reacted instantly, squinted his eyes, followed behind Fu Lao, and walked towards the gate of the villa.

No one noticed that Lin Xiaocao, who had been calm since he got into the car, was constantly trembling and twitching the muscles in the corners of his eyes.

"Grandpa Fu, you're back. Is this the person your grandfather sent you to pick up?"

The quiet woman standing at the door smiled and spoke, looking at Lin Xiaocao without hesitation.

To be honest, as far as the first impression is concerned, she has a good impression of Lin Xiaocao, her figure is tall and slender, and her face is also very standard handsome, with sharp edges and corners, she looks very resolute, and she is full of manly taste. She has seen a lot of beautiful men, but those people are either too sissy or too cold, which makes people feel uncomfortable, and Lin Xiaocao, a man who makes people unconsciously feel a sense of security when they see it, she does have a reason to appreciate it.

"yes, a very nice young man. Xiaocao, let me introduce you, this is the second lady of the Lin family, Lin Shuimo. Ink, this is Lin Xiaocao, and he will be responsible for your safety in the future. ”

Fu Lao smiled, looking at Lin Shuimo's eyes as if looking at his own granddaughter, revealing a kind of doting emanation from his bones.

Lin Xiaocao glanced at Lin Shuimo and nodded slightly, but the smile on her face was a little stiff.

Lin Shuimo took the initiative to stretch out his hand, shook Lin Xiaocao, and said with a smile: "Hello, please come in, grandpa, second uncle, and eldest sister are all waiting for you." ”

"Good. ”

Lin Xiaocao didn't say much, and followed Lin Shuimo and Fu Lao into the villa.

The two silent men who had followed Fauber to the station had disappeared in a very low-key manner.

The interior of the villa is spacious, the decoration style is diametrically opposed to the shape of the outside full of modern atmosphere, the overall retro style, not luxurious, and there is no resplendent nouveau riche arrogance, wooden floors, mahogany sofas, everywhere is filled with a sense of calm heaviness, low-key and restrained.

The moment Lin Xiaocao entered the villa, in the reception hall on the first floor, three eyes of different natures had been firmly locked on him.

Lin Xiaocao's expression did not move at all, he looked up, and his eyes were steady and looked at the three people in the reception hall, or three generations.

An old man who was about seventy years old sat in the center, his face was majestic, and he looked at Lin Xiaocao with burning eyes, with joy in his eyes and a hint of doubt.

On the left hand side of the old man sat a very handsome middle-aged man, close to fifty years old, with a smile on his face, but his eyes were full of fun when he looked at Lin Xiaocao.

On the right hand side of the old man, there is a woman who looks roughly similar to Lin Shuimo, who is about a little older than Lin Shuimo, and what is more eye-catching is that she is wearing a camouflage military uniform, with a cold momentum and sharp edge, just like the eyes she looked at Lin Xiaocao, with undisguised doubts and speculations.

If in terms of blood relationship, in addition to himself and the housekeeper Fu Lao, the remaining one is his grandfather, one is his uncle, and the other two are his sisters.

Lin Xiaocao sneered inwardly, and a wave of anger emerged from his heart almost uncontrollably, spreading all over his body.

Almost instantly, Lin Xiaocao's temperament, which was originally calm, changed dramatically, becoming numb and indifferent, and there was a trace of inexplicable hostility and hatred.

Changes come and go quickly, and in the blink of an eye, Lin Xiaocao reacted again and became calm again.

He took the initiative to take a step forward and said calmly: "Mr. Lin, the second master asked me to greet you on his behalf." ”

"Okay, okay, Xiaocao, how is Ye Lao's health? Okay? His old man is the most important wealth and symbol of our empire, I saw Ye Lao a few years ago, and I still remember it vividly. ”

Lin Huaiyu, who was sitting in the center, laughed, waved his hand, and motioned for everyone to sit down.

"The old man eats well and sleeps well, and his body is fine. This is the letter that the old man asked me to hand over to Mr. Lin. ”

Lin Xiaocao took out a letter from the pocket of his windbreaker and handed it to Lin Huaiyu, sat on the sofa, and replied calmly, except for Lin Huaiyu, he didn't look at the middle-aged man and young woman sitting next to him from beginning to end.

The middle-aged man could still smile and remain silent, but the eyes of the young woman in a camouflage military uniform became colder and colder.

"That's good, that's good. ”

Lin Huaiyu didn't realize it, took the envelope with both hands, looked at Lin Xiaocao, patted the middle-aged man next to him with a very kind look, and said with a smile: "This is my second son Lin Zhiye, this is my eldest granddaughter Lin Danqing, you know Ink and Ah Fu, right? ”

"I don't drink. ”

Lin Xiaocao's tone was still as flat as ever, not a little wavering, his eyes looked directly at Lin Huaiyu who was smiling, paused, and continued: "If you drink too much wine, your hands will tremble." ”

This time, even Lin Zhiye, who was sitting next to Lin Huaiyu, frowned a little.

It's not because Lin Xiaocao doesn't drink, but because of this young man's attitude!

His old father introduced him for a long time, but this kid didn't listen to him at all, his eyes never looked at him, he talked to his father from the beginning, could it be that he was sitting here, he was really transparent?

Judging from his reflection at that moment just now, does this young man really have some inexplicable hostility towards the Lin family?

Lin Zhiye and his father glanced at each other, and no one spoke for a while.

Lin Danqing, who looked cold, flashed a trace of appreciation in his eyes.

Drinking too much alcohol will indeed affect the stability of the palm, but it will definitely not tremble like convulsions, subtle trembling, basically difficult to detect, has no effect on the vast majority of people, but will have side effects on a few people, such as top snipers!

The slightest instability in the palm of the hand is enough to have a fatal effect on a top gunslinger.

Lin Danqing wasn't sure if Lin Xiaocao could protect her sister, but at least this attitude made her agree with it.

"Okay, it's a good thing not to drink, you talk first, I'll see what Ye Lao has to explain to me, Xiaocao, the safety of ink and wash will trouble you in the future, practice, you tell Xiaocao about it, and ask him to protect the reason for ink painting." ”

Lin Huaiyu was silent for a moment, and said with a smile while opening the envelope.

"I'm not interested in the Lin family's affairs. ”

Lin Xiaocao responded stiffly, and the corners of his mouth slightly hooked up a smile, as if mocking, as if sarcastic: "I will be responsible for protecting Miss Lin's safety 100%, but I don't need to listen to the content, Mr. Lin Zhiye, I came on the orders of my teacher, but I also have to eat, if you don't mind, I want to talk about my reward for protecting Miss Lin, how about it?"

Lin Huaiyu's palm when he opened the envelope stiffened, and his face darkened, but he didn't hear it and threw the ball to his son.

Lin Zhiye's eyes narrowed, looking at the young man with a serious face in front of him, and then glancing at Lin Shuimo, who was already frowning, but he was not very angry in his heart.

He is now basically sure that this young man is indeed hostile to the Lin family, and he is reluctant to protect Ink this time, but because of his master's order, he has to come, and his attitude is obvious, people are meant to protect, but if there is a chance to make his family unhappy, he will definitely not refuse.

What an interesting young man.

Lin Zhiye was a little curious about where the other party's hostility came from, but he didn't ask any more, this kind of question, as long as he was in the Lin family for a day, he would always have a chance to figure it out.

"How much do you want to be paid?"

It was Lin Shuimo who asked.

This woman, who can be said to be a goddess in both temperament and appearance, is still calm, looking at Lin Xiaocao calmly, looking like a businessman.

Lin Congye can see the problem, she can naturally see it, her pride and stubbornness are impossible to allow her to respond to Lin Xiaocao's hostility amicably, in her opinion, today's performance in her own family has given enough to the other party, if it is just a bodyguard, why should grandfather, second uncle or even eldest sister come forward? But now that Lin Xiaocao doesn't have a good impression of the Lin family, Lin Shuimo is too lazy to set up any friendship to please Ye Lao, business, just do what you want, it's easy to do with money, the Lin family can live here, it is a manifestation of financial resources, and how much can it cost to support a bodyguard?

"One million a month, or ten million a year if you count the annual salary. ”

Lin Xiaocao said a sky-high figure without changing his face, his tone paused, and he didn't look at Lin Zhiye, Lin Shuimo, or even Lin Danqing's ugly face, and added two more words: "US dollars." ”

The hall fell silent.

Lin Shuimo looked at Lin Xiaocao with a calm face with wide eyes, as if he was frightened.

Ten million dollars is not a big number for the Lin family, but use this price to hire a bodyguard?

It's not so bad to have money!

Hire a retired bodyguard of special forces, and the annual salary is only about a few hundred thousand yuan at most, and that is RMB!

As soon as this guy opened his mouth, he asked for dollars?

Lin Zhiye also looked at Lin Xiaocao with a strange face, as if he was looking at a monster.

"Are you sure you're not kidding?"

Lin Danqing, who was sitting in the seat, asked coldly, her voice was cold and pleasant, she tidied up the camouflage military uniform on her body, she was full of fighting spirit, and her momentum instantly became cold.

"That's my bottom line. ”

Lin Xiaocao picked up the tea that Fu Bo brought him, took a sip, and said slowly.

“”

Well, the price of 10 million US dollars a year is still the bottom line, and all of a sudden the room for bargaining is blocked, which is the same as how much the Lin family has taken advantage of him.

Lin Danqing glanced at her sister, the coldness in her eyes flashed, she got up slowly, and said lightly: "Ten million US dollars, it is nothing to the Lin family, I can call the shots for you, but Mr. Lin Xiaocao, you have to prove to me that you have the ability to take this money." ”

"How do you prove it?"

Lin Xiaocao looked up at her.

"Beat me!"

Lin Danqing's momentum continued to rise, a woman, at this moment, she was full of fighting spirit, but her eyes were full of contempt when she looked at Lin Xiaocao.

"Good. ”

Lin Xiaocao nodded and stood up.

Judging from his experience in the mercenary world, this woman is not worth a price of 10 million US dollars, but it should not be far behind.

"Wait. ”

An old voice sounded, unquestionable.

Lin Danqing, who was ready to teach this guy who didn't know the height of the sky, was slightly startled, looked at his grandfather, and looked at him with puzzled eyes.

Lin Huaiyu, who read the contents of the letter at great speed, took a deep breath, looked at Lin Xiaocao, his eyes were complicated, and after a while, he said lightly: "Agree to his conditions!"

"Grandpa!"

"Father!"

The Lin family's Danqing ink and Lin Zhiye looked incredulous.

Lin Huaiyu waved his hand, carefully folded the letter, put it into his pocket cautiously, and let out a long sigh.

He originally thought that he asked Ye Lao for help, but he just got a bodyguard, although he was disappointed in his heart, it was difficult to refuse.

But Ye Lao clearly told him in that letter that Lin Xiaocao's position in the Lin family was not as simple as Lin Shuimo's bodyguard.

It's guarding!

Guardian of the Lin Family!――
