Chapter 1: Men'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. A luxuriously dressed middle-aged couple rushed in with a few suit bodyguards. Under the astonished eyes of many guests, they rushed straight to Shangguan Wan'er. "Wan'er, is this what you call boyfriend?"

The middle-aged lady looked at Lin Zong and emphasized with a sharp and weird look: "Boy, where are you working?"

Although it was asking, it would be better to say that the police were questioning like a thief. The condescending attitude was undoubtedly revealed. The drinkers who saw them covered their mouths and chuckled.

Everyone is wearing work clothes, and fools know where to work.

There was a lot of booing in the bar. Some men from the white-collar workers had long noticed Shangguan Wan'er. They were all shocking. Even in the rapid development of the beauty industry, such a perfect woman was rarely seen. Her natural and peaceful face like a fairy, and her noble temperament that seemed to be without a trace of fireworks were an indescribable impact for men who were used to beautiful women with thick makeup powder.

It penetrates the heart and heart. I never thought that there is such a fairy in the world who only appears in mythical description.

But this fairy-like character had a tryst with an extremely ordinary bar waiter here. It was funny to think about it. At this moment, seeing the middle-aged lady sarcastically mocking Lin Zong without any mercy, some successful men who thought they had some social status were heartbroken. There was a chance.

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

"Shut up! Look at what you are now, ah. You are not waiting for a good home, but you are going to run to this bar to hang out with the bartender!" The middle-aged man looked majestic and scolded Shangguan Wan'er in an irresistible tone. He glanced at Lin Zong in a faint way and said, "I'll bring my daughter back, you have no objection!"

Shangguan Wan'er stared at her parents fiercely, and a slight mist rippled in her eyes. She only saw a few elegant and decent men and felt itchy and lost their image. Some even looked out of mind under the jealous slap of their female companions.

But Lin Zong seemed to be a stone man, sitting there quietly, with his expression on his face calm and unpredictable. It reminds people of the ancient knights who squatted in front of people for a few days waiting for challenges. They always feel incompatible with the dance songs floating in the bar.

Then, in the eyes of everyone, Lin Zong finally took action, slowly raised his head, and said something that made everyone bleed, "Wan'er. Let's go home with them."

Shangguan Wan'er suddenly turned into petrified. The mist in her eyes seemed to have encountered a cold flow, and it all turned into a series of springs, "You, you...hum!"

He turned around quietly 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 doesn't matter, I will move you!"

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

The middle-aged couple's face was originally relieved because of Lin Zong's "knowing tact" and became gloomy again after hearing his daughter's words. "Wan'er, Mom is for your own good. She is not willful anymore! Even if she doesn't think about herself, she has to consider the honor of our Shangguan family. If you want to find a boyfriend, Mom will find you..."

Before the middle-aged lady could finish her words, there was a bang in the bar. Several men of quite status sat on the chair awkwardly again.

The Shangguan family, one of the eight ancient families in China, has frequent power in politics, military and business industries. Especially their political background, and even several leaders of the Power Center of Zhdao came from their families. The foundation is huge and beyond imagination. As for those men who think they are successful, they are not bad in their eyes. They are almost on the same level as Lin Zong.

Just in the shame of all the men and in the impatientness of Shangguan Wan'er, the middle-aged man smiled coldly: "Don't leave? Very good!"

The bodyguards behind him understood and smiled cruelly. They slowly walked around Lin Zong.

Shangguan Wan'er's face changed, "Stop! You can't do this!" She understood the power of these bodyguards. Scratched stones, broken wood, bent steel and broken iron. These things that only appear in martial arts dramas really exist in these bodyguards.

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

Only then did she wake up. After all, she had no power to protect Lin Zong, or even her power to protect herself.

She looked at Lin Zong blankly, couldn't help but smile palely, turned around and said to the middle-aged couple, "Stop it. I'll follow you!"

The middle-aged man said mercy and several bodyguards stopped. They still glanced at Lin Zong indifferently, but there was a hint of murderous intent, "Let's go!"

Shangguan Wan'er bit her lip, trying hard not to cry, and quickly kissed Lin Zong's lips, "Lin Zong, you must remember me, sure!"

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, placing her footsteps in their ears and said a little, and ran out quickly. The middle-aged couple didn't know what they heard, and their faces turned pale. Several bodyguards were ready to "behead" at the boss's instructions. However, the middle-aged couple's faces were blushing for a while, glaring at Lin Zong fiercely, and shook their sleeves and left.

For a moment, there was a lot of discussion in the bar. The explosive dance music had already started to the smallest, and they were excitedly talking about the power and wealth of the Shangguan family, and sarcastically criticizing the "little white-faced" who was eating soft food in a corner.

“Mountain Emei…”

Lin Zong ignored the discussions around him and murmured. He stood up blankly and wanted to leave.

"Hey, Lin Zong. Come here. Brother Lei wants to talk to you!" At this time, several waiters at the counter surrounded a man with a strong face, waved to Lin Zong. The man with a strong face looked at Lin Zong proudly.

Lin Zong raised his eyebrows. Although he only worked in this bar for a few days, he had heard of the name of "Le Ge" and knew it more comprehensively than anyone else. He had been proficient in mercenaries, boxing, bayonets, and pistols in Africa for several years. But for some reason, he came to S City and was shocked by the two black and white figures, and was rumored to be "Le Ge".

However, Lin Zong still had no expression on his face. He glanced at the few people in a faint way, turned around and walked out of the bar. There was a burst of angrily cursing sounds like ghosts and howlings came from behind him.

"Is this guy crazy? Brother Lei is honored when he comes here to drink, but someone ignores Brother Lei?"

"Hehe. He really thought he was the son-in-law of the Shangguan family. The birds and things rebelled."

"Brother Lei, please calm down! When he comes, we will clean up him for you. Today we treat you, you can eat first..."

Under the night, Lin Zong left the bar and walked slowly on the noisy and bustling streets. He passed through groups of laughter and laughing crowds, colorful street lights, and violent popular music. Everything seemed to be out of place with him. His back gradually became more desolate and lonely.

It was as if walking in another world. This world was just a passing passerby in his life journey. Everything was so illusory and confused... When it was touched in his heart, Lin Zong suddenly coughed sharply, and a fishy smell came from his mouth. The next moment, a bright red liquid flowed down from the corner of his mouth.

Lin Zong's face seemed to turn clear and cloudy and turned pale. His body swayed and continued to move forward. Several passers-by who passed by him seemed to see a plague, quickly flickering away from him. A kind old lady suggested that he go to see the doctor. A smile finally flashed across his calm face and thanked him softly. She sat slowly beside the flowerbed, chatted with the old lady for a while, and watched her go away. She didn't care that the strange eyes around her were lying on the grass, quietly looking at the vast starry sky that could not be covered by colorful lights. She took out a piece of jade piece full of gray spots from her arms and placed it under the starry sky.

The coldness in his eyes disappeared, full of memories and tenderness.

The jade piece is half a palm-sized. The whole body reveals a faint silver-white stream. There is a dragon flying in the clouds on the back, which is faintly visible, as if it will float out at any time. However, the specific face inside is hard to see. However, the jade piece is covered with gray spots, as if it was just dug out of the soil, making people feel no desire to play. But it has been carefully cared for by Lin Zong's neck.

This was the only gift his mother left to him.

He vaguely remembered that before his mother passed away, she solemnly handed the thing to him. She told him to keep it carefully, and repeatedly warned him to live a peaceful life and not cause trouble.

Unfortunately, the young man's nature did not make him understand the meaning of this sentence.

"Mother. The child is wrong... it's really wrong. The child no longer has to live that kind of life of fighting and killing. Now, I listen to you, live a good life and live a stable life..."

As he said that, Lin Zong's eyes were filled with tears.

It was already late at night when Lin Zong returned to his residence.

He gently pushed open the door and walked in. He found a big man with a depressed expression sitting in the room. Lin Zong seemed to be commonplace, without any surprise, sat down next to the big man and gave himself a glass of wine.

When the big man saw Lin Zong coming in, he immediately snatched out the cigarette butts. He knew that Lin Zong didn't want to see him smoking in a decadent way. He stood up and pretended to be a smile, saying, "Brother, I have mobilized all my brothers to find a recipe for healing. I believe there will be news soon..."

Lin Zong patted the man on the shoulder heavily and sighed softly. "No need to worry, third son. Let me finish this journey well."

"Brother." The voice of the 'Three Son' suddenly choked. Only he understood how serious the big brother's injury was. That kind of inhuman pain was not something that ordinary people could tolerate.

The third son couldn't help but roared and stood up: "There are only a handful of people who can hurt the eldest brother in the entire Z country. The Taoist priests are probably from that place. They actually blatantly broke the rules. One day I want them to look good!"

A trace of warmth flashed through Lin Zong's heart. He leaned slowly on the sofa, and a look of comfort appeared on his face, "Three sons. I feel very good now. There is no hatred, no killing, no need to worry about receiving the organization's task in the next moment. This feels very comfortable!"

The third son's face was gloomy for a while. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "Brother. I'll come this time. I'll tell my elder brother about it. The organization has already known that Shangguan Wan'er and his elder brother are in contact... The day before yesterday, I found a news from the organization. Shangguan Wan'er's parents had secretly made an agreement with Jin Zheng Group and decided to let Shangguan Wan'er marry that bastard Jin Zhengxiao!"

Lin Zong's closed eyes suddenly opened, and a cold light shone everywhere. Even the three sons who had dyed countless blood with their hands were deeply shocked. All the information of Jin Zhengxiao had flashed in Lin Zong's mind.

Kim Jong-xiao, the young president of Kim Jong-jung Group, secretly controlled most of the northern powers of Country Z. His status was the same as that of the eight major families. His identity was a little secret... Lin Zong's eyebrows were fiercely condensed. As the chief master in the organization, he knew more deeply. Kim Jong-xiao was actually a typical hypocrite, with countless gangs of drug trafficking, thieves and prostitution under his gang, and he was simply a beast wearing a gorgeous coat.

"Brother, don't worry, I'll take my brothers to do him in the past two days!" A murderous intent flashed in the eyes of the 'Three Sons'. He understood Shangguan Wan'er's position in the mind of his elder brother very well. Although the elder brother would reject Shangguan Wan'er every time, he could clearly feel how painful and lonely his elder brother was. This pain came deeper than Shangguan Wan'er!

He guessed that this time I went to see Shangguan Wan'er was just the last time.

"You can't! I will solve this problem myself." Although Lin Zong's face was calm, his tone was unquestionable.

The "Three Sons" wanted to speak but stopped. But when he saw Lin Zong's firm gaze, he had to give up. He understood that if the elder brother went, he would not be able to help. Although there were elder brothers in the organization, he, "Qingfeng", "Shadow", and "Fireworks", known as the "Five Killers". But the "Three Sons" knew in his heart that even if he joined forces with the other three masters, he would definitely not be the opponent of the elder brother. In his impression, the elder brother could not match. When he wanted to do something, he never could not do it.

Watching the "Three Sons" disappear into the night, Lin Zong stood in front of the window and poured the last sip of wine from the glass into his mouth. The simple moonlight sprinkled on his body. A layer of blurred and colorful color gradually appeared in his eyes.
