Chapter 1: A Man's Choice ()

S City at night. In a small bar with brilliant lights.

As soon as Lin Zong and Shangguan Wan'er sat down, the glass door of the bar was pushed open, and a middle-aged couple dressed luxuriously with a few suit-clad bodyguards broke in. In the stunned eyes of many guests, he rushed straight to Shangguan Wan'er. "Wan'er, is this what you call a boyfriend?"

The middle-aged lady looked at Lin Zong, and said with a sharp and strange emphasis: "Boy, where do you work?"

Although it was an inquiry, it was better to say that the police were questioning like a thief. That condescending attitude is unmistakable. The drinkers who came over covered their mouths and chuckled.

Everyone wears overalls, and fools know where they work.

There was boos in the bar. Some white-collar men have long noticed Shangguan Wan'er. All of them are astonishing. Even in the high-speed development of the beauty industry, it is rare to see such a perfect woman. The natural and tranquil face like a fairy, as well as the noble temperament that seems to have no trace of fireworks, is an indescribable impact on men who are accustomed to beautiful women with heavy makeup powder.

Straight to the heart. I didn't expect that there really be such fairies in the world that only appear in mythological descriptions.

And this fairy-like character is here to have a tryst with a bartender who is so ordinary that it is extreme. It's funny to think about. At this moment, seeing the middle-aged noblewoman's merciless sarcasm to Lin Zong, some successful men who thought they had some social status were heartbroken. Here's a chance.

Lin Zong sat there quietly, but Shangguan Wan'er stood up in annoyance and said, "You guys are too much!"

"Shut up, look at what you've become, ah. I don't want to stay at home, but I want to run to this bar to mess with the bartender!" the middle-aged man reprimanded Shangguan Wan'er in an irresistible tone with a majestic face. He glanced at Lin Zong lightly and said, "I'll bring my daughter back, you don't have any opinion!"

Shangguan Wan'er glared at her parents fiercely, and a trace of mist rippled in her eyes. I only saw a few elegant and decent men, and my image was unbearable. Even under the jealous patting of their female companions, some still have a look of disappointment.

But Lin Zong sat there as if he was a stone man, the expression on his face was indifferent. It can't help but remind people of those chivalrous men who squatted for days in ancient times and sat in front of people waiting for challenges. I always feel out of place with the dance songs that float in the bar.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, Lin Zong finally made a move, slowly raised his head, and said something that made everyone squirt blood, "Wan'er." Let's go home with them. ”

Shangguan Wan'er was suddenly petrified. The mist in his eyes seemed to have encountered a cold current, and all of them turned into a spring, "You, you...... Hmph!"

Quietly turned around and wiped away the tears. When he turned around, he turned into a naughty smile again, "I knew you would answer like this, but it's okay, I'll move you!"

Hearing this, some single men who had already stood up suddenly fell to the ground. At the same time, he looked at Lin Zong with a ghostly look.

The faces of the middle-aged couple, who had been softened by Lin Zong's "knowledge", became gloomy again after hearing their daughter's words. "Wan'er, mom is for your own good. Even if you don't think about yourself, you have to think about the honor of our Shangguan family. If you want to find a boyfriend, Mom will find you ......"

Before the middle-aged lady's words fell, the bar exploded. Several men of considerable status sat awkwardly in their chairs again.

The Shangguan family, one of the eight ancient families in China, has frequent influence in the political, military, and commercial industries. Especially their political background, and even several leaders of the power center of country Z are from their families. The magnitude of the foundation is beyond what others can imagine. As far as these men think they are successful, they are not scum in the eyes of others. It's almost on the same level as Lin Zong.

In the midst of all the men's shame and Shangguan Wan'er's impatience, the middle-aged man smiled coldly: "Don't go, it's good!"

The bodyguards behind him understood, and they all showed a little cruel smile. Slowly walked towards Lin Zongwei.

Shangguan Wan'er's face changed, "Stop! You can't do this!" Cracked stones, broken wood, bent steel and broken iron, these things that only appear in martial arts dramas, but they are real in these bodyguards.

I believe that with the ruthless character of these bodyguards, Lin Zong will really be beaten to death, and with his father's strength in the political center, no one will come out to accuse.

It was only then that she woke up. After all, he didn't have the strength to protect Lin Zong. There is not even the power to protect yourself.

She looked at Lin Zong in a daze, couldn't help but smile, turned to the middle-aged couple and said astringently, "Stop." I'll follow you!"

The middle-aged man gave a soft 'en', and several bodyguards stopped moving. He still glanced at Lin Zong faintly, but there was a faint hint of killing intent, "Let's go!"

Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip, trying hard not to let herself cry, and quickly kissed Lin Zong on the lips, "Lin Zong, you have to remember me, you must!"

Listening to Shangguan Wan'er's gentle words, Lin Zong's eyebrows trembled, and he nodded slowly.

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly smiled, walked lightly to the middle-aged couple, stepped on their ears and whispered a word, and ran out quickly. The middle-aged couple didn't know what they had heard, and their faces turned blue with anger. Several bodyguards are ready to 'decapitate' at the behest of their boss. But they didn't expect that the middle-aged couple's faces turned red for a while, glared at Lin Zong fiercely, and left with their sleeves.

For a while, there was a lot of discussion in the bar. The energetic dance music has already been opened to the minimum, and they are all excitedly talking about the power and wealth of the Shangguan family, and sneering at the "little white face" who eats soft rice in a corner.

"Mount Emei ......"

Lin Zong turned a deaf ear to the surrounding discussions. muttered. Mu Ran stood up and wanted to leave.

"Hey. Lin Zong. Come here. Brother Lei wants to talk to you!" At this time, several waiters at the counter gathered around a man with a fierce face and waved to Lin Zong. The man with a fierce face looked at Lin Zong with a proud expression.

Lin Zong raised his eyebrows slightly. Although only worked in this bar for a few days. But he had heard of the name of 'Brother Lei' a long time ago, and he knew it more comprehensively than anyone else. I have been a mercenary in Africa for a few years, and I am proficient in boxing, bayonets, and pistols, but I came to S City for some reason, and when I came, I was shocked by the black and white characters, and it was rumored that I was 'Brother Lei'.

It's just that Lin Zong still didn't have any expression on his face. Glancing faintly at a few people, he turned and walked out of the bar. Immediately, there was a ghost crying wolf-like angry scolding sound behind him.

"Is this guy crazy, Brother Lei was honored to come here to drink, and there are still people who ignore Brother Lei?"

"Hey, hey. He really thought that he was the Chenglong fast son-in-law of the Shangguan family. Bird stuff, rebelled. ”

"Brother Lei, you are angry! When he comes, we will clean him up for you. Today we have a treat, you eat first......"

At night. Lin Zong got out of the bar and walked slowly down the noisy and bustling street. Walk through groups of drunken and laughing crowds, five-colored street lamps, and violent popular music. Everything seemed to be out of place with him. The back gradually became more desolate and lonely.

It's like walking in another world. The world was just a passing visitor in his life's journey. Everything is so unreal and confusing...... With a slight touch in his heart, Lin Zong suddenly coughed sharply, a fishy smell came out of his mouth, and the next moment, a red liquid flowed from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Zong's face seemed to be sunny and cloudy, and turned pale. The body staggered and continued to walk. Several passers-by passed by him as if they had seen a plague, and quickly dodged away from him. A kind old lady offered to let him go to the doctor. A smile finally flashed across his calm face, and he thanked him softly. Sitting slowly by the flowerbed, he chatted softly with the old lady for a while, and watched her go away. Lying on the grass with strange eyes around him, he quietly looked at the vast starry sky that could not be covered by colorful lights. He took out a piece of jade from his bosom full of gray spots. Put it under the stars.

The coldness in his eyes was gone, full of remembrance and tenderness.

The jade slice is half a palm's size. The whole reveals a faint silvery-white color. On the back is engraved a dragon soaring through the clouds, looming, as if it would float out at any moment. But I couldn't see the specific face inside. It's just that the jade pieces are covered with gray dark spots, as if they have just been dug out of the soil, which makes people not have half a point of playing. But it has always been carefully cared for around Lin Zong's neck.

It was the only gift his mother left him.

He vaguely remembered that before his mother died, she solemnly handed it over to him. instructed him to keep it carefully, and repeatedly warned him to live his life in peace and quiet, and not to cause trouble.

It's a pity that the young man's heart didn't make him understand the meaning of these words.

"Mother. The child is wrong...... Really wrong. Children don't have to live that kind of life anymore. Now my son listens to you, lives well, and lives in peace......"

As he spoke, Lin Zong's eyes were already overflowing with tears.

When Lin Zong returned to his residence. It's late at night.

Gently push open the door and walk in. I found a big man with a depressed face already sitting in the room. Lin Zong seemed to be commonplace, without any surprise, sat down next to the big man and brought himself a glass of wine.

When the big man saw Lin Zong coming in, he immediately snuffed out the cigarette butt, he knew that Lin Zong didn't want to see him decadent smoking. Standing up, he forced a smile and said, "Big brother, I have already mobilized all my brothers to find a healing formula, I believe that there will be news in the near future......"

Lin Zong patted the big man on the shoulder heavily and sighed lightly. "Don't bother, Sanzi. Let me finish this journey. ”

"Big brother. "The voice of the 'third son' suddenly choked up. Only he understood how serious his eldest brother's injuries were, and that kind of inhuman pain was not something that ordinary people could endure.

The third son couldn't help but roar and stood up: "There are only a handful of people in the entire country Z who can hurt the eldest brother. That Taoist priest is the one who came out of that place. They blatantly broke the rules, and one day Lao Tzu wants them to look good!"

A trace of warmth flashed in Lin Zong's heart. Leaned on the sofa slowly, and his face showed a rare look of comfort, "Third son." I feel good right now. There is no hatred, no killing, no need to worry about receiving the task of the organization in the next moment, this feeling, very comfortable!"

Miko's face was gloomy for a while. After hesitating for a moment, he still said: "Big brother." I'm here this time. I also have to tell the eldest brother a piece of news. The organization already knew that Shangguan Wan'er had a relationship with her eldest brother...... The day before yesterday, I found a message from the organization. That Shangguan Wan'er's parents have secretly made an agreement with the Kim Jong Group and decided to let Shangguan Wan'er marry that bastard Kim Jong-yeong!"

Lin Zong's closed eyes suddenly opened, and the cold light shone brightly. Even the third son, whose hands had been stained with an unknown amount of blood, was deeply shocked. Lin Zong's mind had already flashed all the information about Jin Zhengxiao.

Kim Jong Yo. Young President of Kim Jong Group. Secretly control most of the northern forces of country Z. Its status is on par with that of the Eight Great Families. And the identity is somewhat secret...... Lin Zong's eyebrows condensed fiercely, as the chief master of the organization, he understood more deeply. Jin Zhengxiao is actually a typical hypocrite, and he has many drug trafficking, male thieves and female prostitution gangs, and he is simply a beast dressed in gorgeous clothes.

"Big brother. Don't worry, I'll take my brothers to do him in the past two days!" A killing intent flashed in the eyes of the 'third son'. He understood Shangguan Wan'er's status in the eldest brother's mind very well. Although the eldest brother will refuse Shangguan Wan'er every time. But he could clearly feel how painful and lonely his eldest brother was in his heart. This pain is deeper than Shangguan Wan'er!

He guessed that this time he went to see Shangguan Wan'er, and it was just the last time.

"You can't! I'll take care of this myself. Although Lin Zong's face was calm, his tone was unquestionable.

The 'third son' wanted to speak and stopped. But seeing Lin Zong's firm gaze, he had to give up. He understood. If the eldest brother goes, he won't be able to help much. Although there are big brothers, themselves, 'breeze', 'shadow', and 'fireworks' in the organization, they are known as the 'five killers'. But the 'third son' knew in his heart that even if he joined forces with the other three masters, he was definitely not the opponent of the big brother. In his impression, the eldest brother is unmatched. When you want to do something, you never can't do it.

Watch the 'Three Sons' disappear into the night. Lin Zong stood in front of the window and poured the last sip of wine in the cup into his mouth. The simple moonlight sprinkled on his body. His eyes gradually became stained with a layer of misty multicolored color.

"Wan'er. Maybe this is the last time I'll help you......"
