There was silence on the other end of the phone.

"It seems that I have done something unnecessary."

About seven or eight seconds later, Wenman's voice sounded again, with a hint of self-deprecation: "I still want to show off in front of you."

Wenman did not ask Lin Zhong where he knew it, because as long as Lin Zhong was willing, there were many people who would sacrifice their lives for him.

At the same time, this incident also reminded Wenman that there was no shortage of helpers around Lin Zhong. If she wanted to hold Lin Zhong's thigh firmly, she must find another way.

"Although I already know about that, I still want to thank you."

Lin Zhong's tone was gentle and calm. As his realm deepened, he began to learn to hide his sharp edges. He was no longer as cold and unkind as before: "You have a heart."

Receiving Lin Zhong's affirmation for the first time, Wenman couldn't help but feel flattered. His heart was pounding and his cheeks were burning.

"It's really worthless!"

Wen Man cursed himself secretly, but his voice became lighter unconsciously, his beautiful eyes rolled around, and he tried to make suggestions for Lin Zhong: "Do you want me to send someone to talk to those intelligence dealers?"

"No need."

Lin Zhong refused bluntly: "This matter has nothing to do with you. Don't interfere, otherwise you will get burned."

"What..."

Wenman suddenly became a little unhappy, and deliberately said in a long voice: "Aren't we friends? Could it be that you, the old man, look down on me, a weak woman like me?"

"I'm doing this for your own good."

Lin Zhong was really not good at dealing with women. He frowned slightly, but still explained patiently: "The other party has a very powerful background. If you act without permission, you may bring trouble to the family behind you. Do you understand?"

"......All right."

Wen Man was smart and astute, and always observed people's emotions. When Lin Zhong was tough, she immediately softened and whispered softly: "Don't I want to share your worries and solve your problems?"

"Anyway, remember my words and don't get involved in that matter, otherwise you will bear the consequences." Lin Zhong warned Wen Manyang sternly because he was afraid that Wen Manyang would violate the rules and secretly track those intelligence dealers behind his back.

"I know."

On the other end of the phone, Wenman pursed her red lips, sulked for a while, and then said listlessly: "Then do you have anything else for me to do?"

"without......"

Lin Zhong was about to give a negative answer when he suddenly thought of something and stopped abruptly. He paused for half a second and then said in a more serious tone: "Yes!"

Wenman originally just asked casually, but he didn't expect that Lin Zhong was really there, so he couldn't help being surprised: "What's the matter?"

"Prepare for me a piece of jadeite grown in Laokeng. The size does not have to be too big, but the quality must be excellent. Also prepare a set of jade carving tools and deliver it before three o'clock this afternoon. Can you do it?"

"Growing jade in the old pit? Well, it should be no problem."

Wen Man became more and more curious, as if there was a mouse scratching in his heart: "What do you want jade for? Do you plan to change your career to become a jade carving master?"

Of course she was joking. With Lin Zhong's current status and identity, how could he change his career to become a jade carver? It was just a hobby.

"I want to carve a gift with my own hands and give it to someone."

Lin Zhong told him frankly that it was not a big deal anyway and there was no need to hide it.

A simple sentence, but it caused an uproar in Wenman's heart.

"Is this still the big devil I know? When did he become so reasonable? Also, who is he going to give the gift to?"

More questions popped up in Wenman's mind.

However, based on her relationship with Lin Zhong, she was not qualified to inquire about privacy, so she had to suppress the burning fire of gossip: "I understand, I will deliver what you want on time."

Lin Zhongzhan smiled: "Thank you, the related expenses will be settled at that time."

After ending the call, Lin Zhong put down his cell phone, stood up and walked to the window, looking out.

His deep gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the barriers of space and see extremely far away places.

The sky is high and the clouds are clear, the wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful, everything seems so quiet and beautiful.

From time to time, Xueno and Chen Qing could be heard chatting in the next room. They seemed to be discussing what gifts to give Guan Wei and what clothes to wear at night.

Lin Zhong closed his eyes and took a deep breath.

Faintly, he smelled blood and fire.

****

Nancheng District.

An ordinary-looking middle-aged man ran wildly along the street. Anyone who stood in his way was pushed away by him. Everyone he passed fell on their backs and cursed loudly.

"Hey, why are you running?"

"Are you rushing to reincarnate?"

"Do you still have some sense of public morality?"

The middle-aged man turned a deaf ear to the curses and continued to go his own way without stopping.

Whether it was because he was too tired or because he was too scared, the middle-aged man turned pale and panicked, and inadvertently got into a narrow and closed alley.

The middle-aged man's speed gradually slowed down, and he felt as if his legs were filled with lead. He could no longer run. He couldn't help but put his hands on the wall, panting like an ox.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

The middle-aged man panted and looked back: "I'm so tired. After running so far, I should have gotten rid of that scary guy, right?"

As soon as this idea came up, the middle-aged man's eyes suddenly froze.

Because he saw a thin figure appear at the entrance of the alley.

That figure was a young man in his twenties, with average appearance, pale skin, gloomy expression, and an inexplicable chill emanating from his whole body.

The young man wore a decent light gray suit, shiny leather shoes, and neat clothes. Even after chasing the middle-aged man for so long, his appearance was not messy at all.

He calmly walked towards the middle-aged man unhurriedly, covering a distance of two meters with one step. His slightly slender eyes were cold and ruthless, and the way he looked at the middle-aged man was like looking at a dead person.

.

"How is that possible!"

The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly widened and he rolled back.

As an intelligence dealer who buys and sells information, the middle-aged man has his own way of identifying people and knows who he can mess with and who he absolutely cannot mess with.

There is no doubt that the young man walking towards him belongs to the category that cannot be offended.

"You...don't come over!"

The middle-aged man suddenly lifted up the hem of his clothes and pulled out a dagger with a cold light from his waist. Like a herbivore that was cornered, he roared with anger and guilt: "If you come here again, I...

I will fight with you!"

However, the young man turned a deaf ear to the middle-aged man's warning and continued to move forward.

"Ta! Ta! Ta! Ta!"

The middle-aged man's teeth began to chatter, his legs trembled slightly, and the hand holding the dagger shook violently. The heavy pressure made him almost breathless.

"I have a few questions."
