Chapter 28: The Peace Before The War
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The visitor did not react at all, the vicious peregrine falcon pecked ferociously on the door panel.
“Ah…” The visitor covered his face with his hand while blood slipped from his fingers.
Lin Hanxing curled her index finger, blew a soft whistle, and the peregrine falcon obediently stopped attacking.
It turned around in the mid-air, then landed on the mango tree.
Lin Hanxing looked blankly at the visitor.
He did not seem to be coming from Meng Song at a glance. At this time, he stared at Lin Hanxing viciously.
“How dare you stare?” Lei Xiao’s voice was so full of danger that the other party immediately became alert.
“Ms. Lin, our boss invites you to a dinner tonight to discuss the tea garden.” The man suppressed his anger.
Standing next to Lin Hanxing, Lei Xiao looked oppressive, not to mention that there was an eagle-like animal next to him staring at him.
His forehead hurt from the pecking earlier.
“Sure, go back and tell him that…”
Lin Hanxing smiled gently without a care for the resentment in his eyes.
Her eyes slowly glance over, the messenger felt creeped out and was intimidated by it.
......
“I will dress splendidly to the banquet and live up to expectations.”
…
After that man left, Lin Hanxing waved to the falcon and fed it with a piece of dried meat as a reward.
The falcon was a sensitive animal. It had the ability to perceive abnormalities and dangers.
“I will go with you tonight,” said Lei Xiao in his deep voice after she finished feeding the falcon.
He understood that everything she did was inter-related.
Although everything seemed to be done in bits and pieces that did not make sense, one would be able to connect the dots if one scrutinized and put it together.
Lin Hanxing had set up a trap the moment she boarded the ship.
Any slight deviation would affect the situation as a whole, but...
“Have I not allow you to join me?” Lin Hanxing twitched her face.
Little did she know that such expression was very seductive to men.
“Come here.” Lin Hanxing looked at him as though she recalled something.
Lei Xiao walked over. She stretched out her hand and lifted up his shirt.
“Tonight is the peace before the storm. There is no peace in this, just the first confrontation of war.”
Lin Hanxing ran her fingers through the crusted gun wound.
“They wish to test my limit and maximize their profit… They wish to get important things from others effortlessly… And there is no such thing as a free lunch.”
Lei Xiao smiled sarcastically with his thin lips.
Lin Hanxing’s hand paused and then she smiled.
That was right. There was no such thing as a free lunch.
Lin Hanxing’s smile seemed complicated as though she had something else in mind and Lei Xiao noticed it.
“Your wound healed very fast.”
As she finished speaking, Lin Hanxing could feel herself in his arms.
She felt a brief dizziness by the soapy smell from the man.
“You seem to care about me a lot.”
Lei Xiao smiled softly, together with the tremor on his firm ches, Lin Hanxing was stunned.
“Will you miss me if you leave me?”
“No,” she answered softly.
“Little ungrateful hedgehog.” Lei Xiao suddenly tightened his hands, as if he wanted to embed her into his body.
“It doesn’t matter because...”
