Chapter 1070 - 1041: Shameless

Because of an untraceable email, Xia Xue traveled to Sicily. This might sound absurd, but it was only after Xiao Lin opened the email that he realized the seriousness of the matter. Of course, to both acquaintances and strangers, Xia Xue’s sudden presence was an anomaly, especially to Troy, who scrutinized this petite beauty from the East with the gaze of a monster.

He then unwillingly asked Yelü Shou about the woman’s identity. When he found out she was the boss’s woman, he let out a wail, not because the flower was taken, but because he couldn’t believe that his boss would have a woman.

Consort Ling, who had been with Xia Xue the longest, asked a question no one had thought to ask. "Did you come alone?"

"Zimu and the others came too," Xia Xue whispered, glancing at Xiao Lin who was intently studying the email.

"Good!" The person facing the computer screen said simply, not knowing whether it was directed at the email content or Xia Xue’s answer, but in any case, the two words didn’t sound particularly friendly.

"Zimu and the others..."

Xiao Lin waved his hand, continuously tapping on the keyboard, not interested in hearing Xia Xue’s explanation. His focused expression seemed to ponder some crucial issue, while his changing facial expression made the room quiet.

After a long time, Xiao Lin raised his head from the computer, wearing glasses, which made him look more refined and harmless. "Did Zimu and the others see this email?" Xia Xue nodded, not quite understanding the implication. "The email’s IP address is from Caesar Street. Although the sender tried to hide the address, it still left a small trace, which is quite similar to someone."

Yelü Shou immediately knew who Xiao Lin was referring to. That night, he didn’t encounter Xiao Lin on Caesar Street. In fact, he did go there but was led away by a silhouette. According to Xiao Lin, the person might very well be the human statue at the street corner of Caesar Street that day. Clearly, he was stationed to protect Tang, but whether Tang knows this is unknown. Afterward, Xiao Lin didn’t go back to Caesar Street, and this matter was left unresolved, perhaps because he didn’t want to pursue it further, or he had other thoughts. Yelü Shou didn’t ask, nor would Troy, while Consort Ling remained silent.

"Shou, you should be able to find out the child’s background information, right? I’ll leave Zimu and the others in your hands to bring back to Sin City." Yelü Shou nodded, indicating he understood his intention.

"Now, onto the second issue. Although the land deed of Sin City is in our hands, it can no longer blatantly be a source of crime. How to develop it will be left to Xia Xue, planned from a business perspective, but a piece of land must be allocated to Black Doctor as I promised him. Black Street will still exist, but its manner will change. As for how to persuade and incorporate your followers is for you and Black Doctor to handle. No problems with that, Troy?" This was Xiao Lin’s second order, indicating they now had their own battlefield and territory.

"Although I don’t know how Sin City existed initially, when signing the renovation plan with the mayor, that so-called wall must be torn down, integrating it with the outside world." Xia Xue roughly explained the agreement with the mayor, renovating Sin City from a legitimate commercial angle, turning this private land into a public system. This means that future profits and benefits would see him taking a larger share compared to previously, making this a substantial gain for the mayor.

"On the surface, legitimate commercial activities can be established, but you still have to consider the darker aspects. But what about your work in Yanjing?" Xiao Lin hesitated, after all, ’Rhine’ was still under Xia Xue’s management, retaining her here seemed unfair to Xia Yusheng.

"Lin, are you suggesting I stay here?" Xia Xue couldn’t believe her ears. This man always pushed her far away, away from his side, away from what he considered dangerous, giving her so-called final protection.

"Woman, I’ve already mentioned in Sin City, you must stay by my side; have you forgotten what I said when you were beneath me?" Xiao Lin showed a look of ’You need training’ in response to Xia Xue questioning his words.

"Uh..."

"Cough cough..."

"Hey!"

Three different tones came from the mouths of three normal men, while Xia Xue’s flushed face made her look down. Only Xiao Lin was unaware of any issues with his recent words.

"Boss, I feel that maybe sister-in-law doesn’t thoroughly understand Sin City, and if the center point of our place is being redeveloped into a commercial area, is it..."

"Take your hand off!" Xiao Lin coldly glared at Troy who unintentionally draped an arm around Xia Xue’s shoulder; this possessiveness! Troy stuck his tongue out. "Sin City’s earlier disagreements with Palermo resulted in an independent power supply establishment; considering the current situation, the first step is to reach a power supply agreement with the mayor. With regularization, the battery facilities there will become unnecessary, but..." Troy suddenly paused, widening his eyes. "If someone doesn’t want Sin City to exist, they could just blow up this battery facility, reducing it to ruins, leaving nothing behind."

Xiao Lin nodded! "When you’re transforming Sin City, are the buildings there still of use value?"

Viewing Sin City objectively, from her commercial perspective, Xia Xue considered it as lagging compared to Palermo’s financial center street. "May I ask a question?"

"You are its owner, so you can plan as you see fit; no need to worry about us."

"If the current Sin City is transformed into a commercial area, it would face an external opening, which is contrary to its original tone. It will no longer be an independent entity; I need you to clarify for me, what exactly do you want with Sin City? The person who lured me here, their purpose can’t be just for me to spend money; I need to know your true intention."

"It seems there’s a message telling you to avoid meeting me, isn’t there?" Xiao Lin chuckled. At this moment, he still had time to think about such irrelevant questions, leaving the other three men speechless. When he was around his woman, his IQ dropped below zero. After exchanging knowing glances, they were ready to leave; the rest had nothing to do with them, and they’d been playing third wheel long enough.

Troy waved his hand at the crow, and they all left. This guy, though not exactly human, should only look when appropriate. If their master led him astray, where could they possibly find him a partner—a female wolf, no less?

The crow started to whimper uncooperatively, its shifty eyes scanning Xia Xue with a gaze that resembled a scorned woman, as if perceiving a rival in love.

"So, it’s your other darling!" In Xia Xue’s eyes, the crow’s plaintive gaze was utterly adorable. She smiled like a flower and wanted to reach out to pet the big dog’s head.

"It’s a Mongolian Wolf, the most courageous and battle-hardened, fiercely cold and ruthless wolf among the pack." With Xiao Lin’s words, Xia Xue immediately found refuge in his embrace. "Let’s continue what we didn’t finish this afternoon!"

"Shameless!" Troy was still there, as Xiao Lin started nuzzling her neck. She had her head down and didn’t see Xiao Lin waving his hand dismissively, urging idle onlookers to leave.

"If I cared about shame, I wouldn’t be sneaking a bite!" He scooped Xia Xue up and tossed her onto the bed, jumping up himself. He had endured for a long time, and once was never enough after such a wait. Of course, it was never enough. "I’m going to make up for all these unsatisfied months at once. You won’t be leaving the bed."

Xia Xue burst out laughing at his childish vow, melting under his caresses.

"Xiao Lin!" The guy outside the door barged in, with Chopin awkwardly witnessing the scene. He was stuck there, unsure whether to advance or retreat!

Xiao Lin took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, but as his eyes fell on his own prominent feature, his anger flared once more. He’s human, not a saint; he couldn’t remain unperturbed in this situation, so he yelled, "Get out!"

Chopin turned and ran, feeling like the intruder himself. Seeing the mischievous grins of the three people in front of him, Chopin slumped his shoulders. "Would’ve been nice to get a heads-up."

"Go on! There’s plenty of time in the future," Xia Xue chuckled, already kneeling on the bed, mouth open as she took in Xiao Lin’s size. From above came a sharp intake of breath, and the woman smiled with satisfaction at the corner of her mouth.

Troy pressed his ear to the door but heard nothing. Displeased, he kicked at the lawn. Surely, there should have been quite a commotion? He gestured to Yelu Shou, pointing inside, and then shrugged his shoulders, leaving the door without interest.

"What’s the matter with you?" Seeing Chopin’s nervous face, Troy looked like he’d found another amusing thing and put his arm around him. "What made you barge in so recklessly, anyway?"

"East Three Provinces, East Three Provinces is back!"

"Who?"

Although he knew that East Three Provinces wasn’t dead, since the police station incident, Yelu Shou had no news of this person. Hearing the name now, it sounded a bit unfamiliar.

"’Vagonai’ saw East Three Provinces." Chopin confirmed again.

"How do you know? A mere singer, where’d you get your information?" Troy grew even more curious. Even they, the ones mixing in the underworld, didn’t have such fresh intel. Yet this bouncing artist seemed well-informed!

"I believe him!" Xiao Lin, now fully dressed, walked out of the stone house. "Once Sin City is settled, we’ll move out, but in the meantime, Xia Xue, I’ll entrust her care to you."

Xiao Lin’s face was slightly flushed, and his voice took on a different tone. "Shou, keep an eye on Zimu and the others while also tracking Nicholas’s movements. Troy and Black Doctor will follow me to Sin City. Xia Xue, when the news of Sin City’s settled, will soon spread. Consort Ling, you..."

"I know what I have to do!"

"This time, we might face people from ’Black Crow’!" Xiao Lin reminded Consort Ling, who merely shrugged.

"Alright! Everyone, to your positions, let’s get to work!"

Good mood! This was the rare look of contentment seen on Xiao Lin’s face over the past few months. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my greatest motivation.)
