Chapter 9: Laying the Groundwork for Conversation

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Then tell me your home address, and I will take you back. Wang Chen's expression was somewhat helpless

"What business?" Wang Chen narrowed his eyes

All of this happened in an instant, as Lin Meng'er’s expression shifted from a daze to panic, as if she were encountering such a situation for the first time

His task is to get close to this woman in order to infiltrate the Lin family, but he will not be foolish enough to directly ingratiate himself with her. What he needs to do now is to ask some questions that a normal person would ask

"It doesn't matter if you know or not, since we won't meet again in the future. I am a killer!" Wang Chen leaned his face close to Lin Meng'er, staring into her eyes as he spoke

Wang Chen was unsure if there were any pursuers behind them, so for safety's sake, he pulled Lin Meng'er towards the jeep

"Why are you here? And why did you save me?" Although Lin Meng'er is innocent, she is not foolish; she is now suspicious of why Wang Chen appeared here and why he saved her.

... ...

There is no need to worry about so much; as long as we resolve the issue with the owner of that Jeep and Lin Meng'er before the Lin family finds out, we will be safe and sound. Otherwise..." The bald man's words were left unfinished, but the several men in black understood his meaning.

Wang Chen was momentarily at a loss for words. He glanced out the car window and said, "A killer's intuition is quite sharp. Of course, my words are merely a suggestion; feel free to do as you wish..."

I... I ran away from home." Lin Meng'er, being very innocent, directly spoke the truth.

The moonlight streamed through the car window, illuminating Wang Chen's delicate features. The black, form-fitting training suit clung tightly to his body, revealing the balanced and muscular contours.

This girl is too naive, casually talking so much to anyone she encounters. If Wang Chen intends to use Lin Meng'er to blackmail the Lin family, he has already succeeded

I see. Wang Chen nodded and said: "In the future, do not casually speak about your family matters to others, and do not go out alone."

As soon as this question arose, Wang Chen narrowed his eyes, a plan forming in his mind, and casually said: "Since you have told me so much, I will share a little with you as well, but do not speak of it to others! The few people who want to kill you are my enemies. I originally intended to track them, but then..."

I understand, you need not say more, I know... knowing too much is not good. Lin Meng'er cautiously looked at Wang Chen, her expression becoming tense again.

Wang Chen would definitely not return to the track; he drove towards the right section, glancing at Lin Meng'er from time to time during the drive, but at that moment, Lin Meng'er was still in a state of panic

As the words fell, Lin Meng'er's beautiful eyes trembled, revealing a hint of reluctance in her gaze, and she murmured softly, "Will we... meet again?"

Time passed second by second, and after approximately one hour, Wang Chen stopped the car

Wang Chen furrowed his brow upon hearing this, glanced at Lin Meng'er, and asked: "How many times have you encountered a similar situation?"

"Who am I? You don't need to know. By the way, where is your home? I can take you back." Wang Chen glanced at Lin Meng'er, who appeared to be a very delicate yet beautiful girl.

He told Lin Meng'er that he was a killer, and there was a reason for this. He knew that after returning home, Lin Meng'er would definitely talk to her father about today's events. By revealing to Lin Meng'er that he was a killer, Wang Chen was essentially informing Lin's father of the same, thus laying the groundwork for his subsequent infiltration into the Lin family

My family is in business Lin Meng'er glanced at Wang Chen and replied cautiously

As the words fell, Wang Chen raised an eyebrow and cast a surprised glance at Lin Meng'er, realizing that this girl was not foolish at all, as she was able to come up with so much on her own

Logically, he should not have said such things, but he truly did not want to see Lin Meng'er getting involved. If Lin Meng'er were to find out that her father was involved in drug trafficking, it would mean she was complicit in not reporting it, which would lead to her being implicated.

"I won't!" Wang Chen said without hesitation

I do not know ... ... " Lin Meng'er's expression improved slightly at this moment, but she still appeared somewhat tense

Wang Chen started the car and said, "You can forget about me saving you. It's getting late, so tell me your address, and I will take you home. I have things to attend to and no time to play house with you."

From childhood to adulthood, I have had no friends, no one to confide in, no one to impart wisdom to me, and no one to advise me like you do. Perhaps for you, it is just a casual remark, but for me... it truly brings me great joy

Get on the vehicle

"Because I believe... you wouldn't call the police, would you? After all, I can be considered your savior, right?" Wang Chen smiled and said

If there is really a next meeting, I will tell you my name. For now, why don't you tell me your address?" Wang Chen twisted open a bottle of mineral water, drinking as he spoke

"Are you talking about Zhang Yichun and the others? What time is it now? Why still bother with these small fry? Just kill them all and throw them into the river to feed the fish!" After the bald man finished speaking, he left the place

"No... I don't know, it should have been that jeep that rescued him," the man in black stammered

"My name is Lin Meng'er, what about you?" Lin Meng'er asked

"The first time, when I used to go out to play, my family would always send someone to follow me." Lin Meng'er did not dare to look up at Wang Chen, but she felt that the person in front of her was trustworthy, though she could not articulate the reason for it

"Why are you telling me all this?" Lin Meng'er shrank back, resembling a frightened little rabbit, unable to look at Wang Chen

Where is your home? I can take you back. Wang Chen knew that the matter of the task could not be rushed, so he offered to take Lin Meng'er back.

He truly hopes that they will not meet again, for he does not wish to hurt this woman, but reality... is often cruel

My father never told me; he has never allowed me to interfere in business matters. Lin Meng'er nervously twisted the hem of her clothes, as if she were very afraid of Wang Chen

When I was just born, my mother left, and my father was always busy with business. I never knew what maternal love was, nor did I understand paternal love. To my father, money was merely a number; he thought that by giving me endless money, I would be happy and joyful, but he did not know what I truly wanted

"Brother Feilong, how should we handle the matter that Ling Shao specified?" asked a man in black.

Do not involve yourself in your father's matters. Since he has not told you, he must have his own reasons. A tiger does not eat its own cubs; a father would never harm his own daughter

What does your family do? Could it be related to your family?" Wang Chen continued to ask

"Brother Flying Dragon, I... I made a mistake." Several men in black stood beside him and said

Thank you, you are the first person to say these words to me. Lin Meng'er smiled, the moonlight illuminating her cheeks, and she smiled beautifully

Where is the person?" The bald man took off his sunglasses and glared fiercely at several men in black, asking

Starting the car, Wang Chen continued to drive towards the racetrack ahead. He knew that not far ahead were two corners; the left corner led back to the racetrack, while the right corner led to the city.

What is that person's background? Also, immediately retrieve the surveillance footage and find out who the owner of that license plate is. I want to locate him; I will... tear him to pieces!" the bald man gritted his teeth and said

"Who are you? Why do they want to kill you?" Wang Chen asked Lin Meng'er.

"Why are you telling me this?" Lin Meng'er raised her head and asked Wang Chen.

Wang Chen was taken aback by the words, remaining silent and expressionless

As the words fell, Wang Chen was momentarily taken aback, then nodded. It seems that this drug lord still has a bit of conscience, not telling his daughter about the drug trafficking, likely to prevent any unforeseen circumstances.

Meanwhile, chaos reigned at the racetrack, and the bald man wearing sunglasses had a face ashen with anger

Lin Meng'er smiled at Wang Chen and continued, "You must find it quite amusing, right? That I would say so much to someone I have just met and who is still quite unfamiliar to me. However... I don't really know why I am saying so much to you; perhaps it is because you saved me earlier."

I will not report it to the police Lin Meng'er nodded and then said Moreover I have a feeling that my father is involved in... not legitimate business The people who used to protect me also carried guns and it could be dangerous This time those people want to kill me because of my father

"Brother Feilong, shouldn't we consider how to deal with the Lin family's retaliation before addressing this matter?" several men in black asked with apprehension.

"Who are you? Why do you have a gun?" Lin Meng'er took a step back from Wang Chen, cautiously observing him.

I do not even know if that can be considered home. My father has bought houses in almost every city, yet there is no one in those houses. I do not want to go home; I am afraid that those bad people will chase me to my house.
