Urban All-Round Master

Chapter 579: Chapter 572: My Friends and I Were Stunned

Lin Zifeng nodded indifferently, the cigarette held between his fingers as he quickly disappeared into the darkness. The events within the KTV private room today had deeply affected him.

When a person lacks strength, it’s inevitable that their relatives, friends, and loved ones... all come under threat.

If he were to find himself equally helpless one day, and his beloved woman suffered the same fate, what could he do then?

Watch his beloved woman being****? Or simply watch helplessly?

...

Only after the man’s aloof and gaunt figure had gradually left the darkness behind.

At this moment, Black Hawk was leading dozens of Shadow Group members as they surged into the KTV.

After the recent sweep, there were hardly any people left inside the entire KTV.

Only those henchmen remained, who, in an attempt to destroy evidence, had set the entire KTV ablaze, leaving nothing behind. Lin Zifeng had always been swift to execute such scum!

The burning of the KTV caused a major stir in Zhonghai. Although the CIA was pressing down from behind, they couldn’t escape the attention of the public.

The next evening, Lin Zifeng finally returned home, exhausted.

The living room was still Nangong Bing’s busy place. Seeing her dressed in a purple ancient-style long dress, Lin Zifeng felt his heart stir with restless desires, it was just too bad that he couldn’t lay a finger on her!

”You’re back,” Nangong Bing suddenly said with a warm smile spreading across her face, quickly stepping forward to pour him a glass of water. As she saw the fatigue written all over the man’s face, a pang of pain struck deep within her heart. She now knew Lin Zifeng’s identity but had always been in the dark about his recent activities. Many times, Nangong Bing had wanted to ask him what he had been up to during this period, but she still held back and didn’t dare to ask.

”Uh, just got back,” Lin Zifeng said, slightly startled, watching the woman gracefully and dignifiedly pouring water for him. This sudden treatment indeed made Lin Zifeng somewhat unaccustomed.

”Have you had dinner?” Nangong Bing suddenly asked.

”I have,” Lin Zifeng replied, still somewhat unaccustomed to Nangong Bing’s dramatic change. It took him a while to come back to his senses. In these recent days, Nangong Shui’s death had truly broken her heart, but after all, life had to go on. You couldn’t just wear a sour face all day – who would want to see that? Moreover, now that she knew Lin Zifeng’s identity, her affection surged forth like a tide.

”Are you... Are you tired?” The woman’s moist and enchanting eyes flickered slightly as she parted her cherry lips, her voice somewhat faint. It was clearly still unusual for her to initiate such a conversation with a man.

From childhood to adulthood, aside from her father, this was the first time she had shown such concern for another man. Moreover, her typically cold demeanor had indeed undergone a drastic change.

If you were to go back two months, even if someone threatened her with a knife to her neck, she would never have expressed such concern.

That was just her nature. Some might consider her cold-hearted, but that wasn’t the case.

”Uh-huh!?”

Lin Zifeng was again taken aback by her question, just as he settled onto the couch, he abruptly stood up, unsure how to respond.

But really, when a woman transforms into a gentle and tender demeanor, it indeed made Lin Zifeng quite unaccustomed.

”Uh, that thing, Empress Dowager, I think you should scold me a few times instead. I’m really not used to this,” he said with a grin, displaying an ”I-deserve-a-beating” look.

Especially seeing Nangong Bing suddenly being so nice to him, he really wasn’t used to that.

To be scolded every three days, his skin was still itching for it.

”Curse you? Why would I curse you?” Nangong Bing’s cheeks were flushed as she gave him a begrudging yet sly look from her vivacious eyes.

”I’d feel really uncomfortable with that.”

Lin Zifeng shrugged his shoulders and pulled out a cigarette. As nonchalant as he seemed while smoking, he couldn’t shake off the feeling of being on tenterhooks—

”You—!”

The woman was momentarily at a loss for words, her face reddening with displeasure as she chided, ”Do you actually like being cursed out?”

Nangong Bing was so infuriated she was practically grinding her teeth, barely stopping herself from stomping her foot. Internally she fumed, This jerk! Even when I’m nice to you, you’re like this. Had I, Nangong Bing, known earlier, I wouldn’t have bothered to cozy up to your cold indifference, hmph!

”No way, how could I possibly like being cursed?” The man looked at her in surprise, quickly lowering his head.

”Then why do you want me to curse you?”

”I’m just not used to it, that’s all.”

”...”

The woman was speechless.

What kind of world is this, where someone gets used to being cursed?

”Let’s just watch TV for a while, shall we? Small talk is so boring,” Lin Zifeng had a spark of Spirit Light and quickly grabbed the remote control, starting to flip channels on the living room’s LCD TV in an effort to ease the awkward atmosphere between them.

Nangong Bing didn’t say anything, but her charming, slender eyes began to reveal a trace of dissatisfaction.

Internally, she wondered, Is it that I’m not doing enough? Or am I not open enough? They say men like women who are more open; could it be that I’m too conservative? Yes, that must be it; this guy is always full of risqué talk, he must like women who are more open. But I don’t know how to be that way, what should I do? I don’t know how to be open, and I’m not that kind of open woman either.

Meanwhile, Lin Zifeng slowly lifted his head and glanced at her, noticing her arms crossed over her chest and her eyes moving restlessly. His heart suddenly felt a chill.

Great, she’s not concocting some plan, is she?

”You go ahead, I’m going upstairs,” Nangong Bing suddenly said, sweeping up the stairs decisively. Her departure was so absolute that it made Lin Zifeng even more suspicious.

What’s she up to now? Just a moment ago, she was all tender and affectionate, wasn’t that all an act?

Lin Zifeng curled his lip, keeping the cigarette between his teeth as he continued to watch his TV show.

But he had just lit a cigarette and was watching a TV scene where a man was about to get intimate with a woman, reaching a climactic moment.

Unexpectedly, Nangong Bing came down wearing black heels, donning a semi-transparent, seductive pair of black silk stockings. That still wasn’t the most lethal part. What nearly made Lin Zifeng drop his cigarette was seeing the always cold and proud Nangong Bing wearing a tight, revealing tank top that bared her chest and midriff!

Holy crap!

My friends and I were all stunned!

”What’s the matter?” Nangong Bing asked, looking at him with puzzled eyes that shimmered like watery snow.

Eager to please him, Nangong Bing had rushed back to her room and searched online for ’open’ materials. She was desperate to find out what sort of openness in a woman would attract a man’s favor. After several minutes of research, the conclusion she reached was to wear less and reveal more—this was Nangong Bing’s interpretation of being open.
