The Great Trump Card - Chapter 17
After troubling Lin Huai, Liu Meiqi felt ecstatic. You dared to offend me and reject to be my boyfriend. This time, I will have you suffer a bitter end!
When they came out of the cafeteria, Niu Haijiao and the group was not as angry as before. Lin Huai explained the situation regarding Liu Meiqi clearly, and said how Liu Meiqi wanted to be his girlfriend, and how he rejected her himself. They doubted him a bit, but after recalling Liu Meiqi’s behaviour since the beginning of school, they also felt that it was very likely. They let Lin Huai off the hook for the time being.
Lin Huai was a little speechless. What does it have to do with you all for which partner I choose. Why did I explain in such a guilty manner? There is no progress between me and Wei Qimian!
After leaving the cafeteria, Niu Haijiao and the three girls ran away with Wei Qimian. Lin Huai couldn’t always be with Wei Qimian, so he could only walk to the classroom alone.
After Wei Qimian ran a few steps, she asked panting, “Niu Haijiao, would you die without buying snacks for a day? You don’t listen properly in class, and you only eat snacks during class.”
“Tch, such a terrible school like ours, what’s the difference whether I listen to lessons or not? I just want to get my graduate certificate.”
Niu Haijiao’s words made Wei Qimian’s eyes hazy. Song Tingting said beside her, “From what I see, Mian Mian isn’t complaining that you are buying snacks, but that you are not inviting Lin Huai to come along.”
Niu Haijiao giggled, “This is fine, absence makes the heart grow fonder.”
“You two… are you seeking death!” Wei Qimian was shy at the teasing and went to tingle the two little girls, and the two little girls started giggling and ran away.
Lin Huai looked at the back of the beautiful girls, and shook his head in annoyance. He muttered to himself, “It’s so strange, what do I have to explain to them, and why do I feel so uncomfortable seeing Wei Qimian disappointed? No, this is definitely wrong. According to regulations, bodyguards can’t have any relationship with the employer during the mission…”
Lin Huai walked towards the classrooms imagining things. When passing through a small forest, he suddenly felt a kind of murderous intent that made his hair stand. This was a top-level expert’s anticipation of danger. Such murderous intent must be a top-class assassin!
Lin Huai walked towards the grove, in which a college boy with an inch-cut hair style and bangs covering one eye with his head lowered, playing with the dagger in his hand. When he lifted his head, it revealed a pair of cold eyes.
This guy should not have much experience in killing, but he is more terrible than those experienced assassin, because he is a natural killer. This was Lin Huai’s judgment on the boy in front of him.
Lin Huai lifted his legs and walked towards the boy, but the other party frowned slightly. It seemed that he did not understand why Lin Huai was looking for him.
“Are you Dao Zi? You want to kill me?” This was the first sentence Lin Huai said to Dao Zi.
“Yes, I want to kill you!” Even after many years, Dao Zi couldn’t forget that when he first met Lin Huai, he made such an impudent remark.
Lin Huai smiled and asked, “Why don’t you do it yet?”
“Because there are people here.” Dao Zi couldn’t help asking, “How do you know I’m Dao Zi?”
“You have a knife in your hand and murderous intent on your body. I happen to know that there is an Enforcer called Dao Zi under Zhang Chunlei” Lin Huai smiled. “I am very sensitive to danger predictions. You have murderous intent, and it’s targeted on me. Interesting, really interesting. You are just a college student, and you dare to kill people.”
Dao Zi was silent, his eyebrows dropping softly before he asked, “Have you killed someone before?”
Lin Huai froze. He did not expect Dao Zi to ask that, but quickly nodded and said, “I have”
Dao Zi sighed, with unexplainable pain and doubt in his voice, “Did you feel happy when killing? When the blood gushes out of the body, do you feel like you are taken over by madness?”
Lin Huai finally understood why Dao Zi asked. Someone who had murderous intent must have killed someone before. Moreover, it was obvious that the killing process stimulated him greatly, so he would ask Lin Huai out of curiosity. After all, it was too difficult for a college student to find someone who had also killed someone. Their outreach level was quite limited, and they had not reached that level yet.
It was just that he had never killed many people. It could be two or probably one. However, he had such terrifying murderous intent, which could only explain one problem. This Dao Zi was a natural born assassin, and his murderous intent was from inborn!
Lin Huai recalled himself from the past, feeling something in his heart, as if thinking back to the fear again back then. He said in a solid voice, “When I first killed someone, I felt fear, even more than the person who died in my hands. Because a life just disappeared in my hands. Everyone has the right to live, no matter who he is.”
Dao Zi looked at Lin Huai in surprise, and said faintly, “But why do I feel so happy? Have you experienced a kind of pleasure? A kind of feeling that the blood in my body is boiling, don’t you have this experience before? Am I really a psychopath?”
Lin Huai looked even more surprised than Dao Zi, but then his face returned to be calmed. This Dao Zi was indeed a natural born assassin. It was difficult to imagine that he was an ordinary college student in the school. Even more so that he was only one of the many under someone like Zhang Chunlei. Although Dao Zi’s strengths and talents were not developed yet, he must be a hundred times or a thousand times scarier than Zhang Chunlei.
Lin Huai smiled, “You are not a pervert. Many people will have the same feeling that you feel.”
Dao Zi breathed a sigh of relief with his eyes giving out a hint of relief. The pain and doubts disappeared slightly, as if a problem that had been bothering him for a long time had disappeared.
Lin Huai looked at this scene with a smile. Of course, Lin Huai was lying. Real life wasn’t like a novel. Most people were afraid when they saw blood, but to use this method to help someone walk out of darkness, it wasn’t a bad thing. As for what kind of person Dao Zi killed? Why did he kill them? This wasn’t what Lin Huai wanted to deal with now, even if Lin Huai wanted to ask, Dao Zi also wouldn’t say it.
Lin Huai asked with a smile, “Do you still want to kill me now?”
Dao Zi said honestly, “I didn’t want to kill you. I just wanted to stab you.”
Lin Huai said with a smile, “Do you still want to stab me now?”
Dao Zi nodded earnestly, “Now that I know I’m not a pervert, my heart is more at ease. I’m more tempted to stab you.”
“…” Lin Huai was speechless, and couldn’t help but ask, “Do you still have humanity within you? Don’t you think I am your benefactor?”
Dao Zi responded solemnly, “Zhang Chunlei shown me kindness. He once helped me. I owe him a big favor. If I can hurt you, I will return his favor. And then, I wouldn’t have to be his Enforcer anymore. As for your kindness, I will return it next time. There must be a sequence when it comes to business.”
Lin Huai was a little speechless that even this kind of thing had to have a sequence, and asked, “Is that after you helped him to stab me, then you have repaid his kindness. Then, I could let you help me stab him after this?”
Lin Huai was just joking, but Dao Zi nodded his head seriously, “Yes!”
Lin Huai sighed and didn’t want to be tangled with Dao Zi on this issue, “If I had expected it correctly, Zhang Chunlei’s plan was to have Zhang Heng beat me up and take the opportunity to go to the school infirmary. Then let you hide near the remote infirmary and jump out and stab me a few times. So that I would lie in the hospital for two more months, am I right?”
Dao Zi appeared startled.
Lin Huai continued, “If the plan was carried out smoothly, you would have repaid Zhang Chunlei’s kindness now. So I have not only broken Zhang Chunlei’s plan, but also your calculations. As a result, now you think that since Zhang Chunlei wanted to deal with me, why did it have to be so troublesome. So you observe in secret, finding the opportunity for me to be alone so people wouldn’t notice and stab me a few times. This time it should be your own actions, and not Zhang Chunlei who ordered you to do it.”
Dao Zi’s face was still calm, but the cold sweat had perspired. After a long while he gritted his teeth, he suddenly stabbed toward Lin Huai’s lower abdomen. There was no warning when he stabbed someone. But Lin Huai already expected him to make a move and caught his wrist. No matter how he struggled, Lin Huai’s hands were as firm as a rock.
Dao Zi reached toward Lin Huai’s throat with his other hand, but Lin Huai grabbed it too.
Lin Huai took control of both his hands and smiled, “You should realize that you are not my opponent at all.”
Having reached this step, Lin Huai thought that Dao Zi could only give up. He didn’t expect that Dao Zi’s expression was as usual, but he headbutted Lin Huai, and the two men’s foreheads came into close contact.
Lin Huai cussed in pain and retreated a few steps. Then, Lin Huai’s forehead swelled up. Dao Zi staggered slightly and passed out.
Damn it. Lin Huai rubbed his head, speechless, “Is this kid stubborn? Why did he knock so hard? I really hurt. Hehe he didn’t expect that my head is much stronger than his!”
Lin Huai didn’t bother to rescue someone who wanted to kill him. Dao Zi would wake up in a while anyway, so Lin Huai walked towards the classroom while grimacing and covering his head.
While walking, Lin Huai thought, this Zhang Chunlei really lingered around. Xuan Yuzhai schemed against him; Zhang Chunlei also schemed against him. Looked like if he wanted to stay in school peacefully for these two months, he must take these two out. He must break off Zhang Chunlei’ forces and tarnish Xuan Yuzhai’s reputation. As for Dao Zi… Although he was very weak now, his future was unlimited. It seemed like he needed someone to coach him, or else he would continue walking towards darkness. By then, he would be an ultimate enemy of the bodyguard industry. He might also become the mainstay of the darkness of this world.
Dao Zi, who had collapsed at this time had no idea that Lin Huai made such a high evaluation of him in his heart at this time!
Lin Huai was about to walk into the classroom, and Xuan Yuzhai appeared, with a smile on his face. Numerous girls around him were winking at him, and their eyes showed a fatal invitation. Xuan Yuzhai ignored them all and approached Lin Huai. When he reached Lin Huai, he said with a smile on his face, “Lin Huai, would you like to take a walk together?”
Lin Huai also smiled, “Okay!”
Lin Huai and Xuan Yuzhai walked towards the far-off shade together.
