C119 Broken Bird

In a villa in the upscale residential area, a hollowed-out girl sat quietly in front of a mirror. She quietly listened to a man with blonde hair and blue eyes, and her eyebrows gradually furrowed.

After the girl heard the blond man's last words, she grabbed an empty bottle of wine from the table and threw it at the mirror in front of her.

With a "bang," the antique British furniture preserved since the eighteenth century was completely destroyed. Dozens of craftsmen painstakingly wrote down the blood and sweat they had worked hard to create, and once it was destroyed, the shattered lenses scattered to the ground, projecting onto the girl's face, looking extremely horrifying.

The shattering of the mirror did not let the girl calm down at all. She turned around and coldly looked at the blond man and said, "Jack, this is how you do things. Besides drinking and gambling with those people, can't you use it a little more?!"

After she sent Jack to investigate who Du Chensheng had come in contact with, she found out about Lin Bai's identity. However, Jack did everything he could to find out what Lin Bai's background was, but was unable to find out.

Despite her anger, Avril still felt terrified. According to what Jack said, that Chinese man probably used a technique to kill the bureau chief. Avril knew how to use it, but it wasn't something that could be used as easily as Lin Bai could.

"That Chinese man called Lin Bai still doesn't know our plan, right?!" Avril got up slowly and walked in front of Jack. It was as if Avril was cutting Jack's handsome face into pieces.

Jack felt that the girl's finger was like an ice-cold snake moving across his face. Looking back at the terrifying face that had lost its eyes, he couldn't help but lower his head and say softly, "Honorable Sacrifice, that Chinese man still doesn't know our plan!"

"Jack, why don't you dare look at me? Do you think that my face is too ugly?!" Avril gently caressed Jack's face and said with a faint smile.

Jack quickly raised his head after hearing Avril's words. He looked at Avril's deeply sunken cheeks and flattered, "Lord Sacrifice is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen in the world. Her cheeks are as tender as a petal, her hair is as black as ebony, and her hands are even brighter than the snow on the Rhine River in winter …"

"My eyes are sparkling and translucent like a coal core …" Avril's hand slowly caressed Jack's carotid artery. Her eyes suddenly turned cold. The long nails on her fingers cut Jack's blood vessels like a sharp knife. Blood gushed out along Jack's handsome face.

Avril reached out to stroke the warm blood spurting out of Jack's carotid artery. After taking a deep breath of the bloody air, her face turned cold and she said lightly, "For my great plan, I will sacrifice my most beautiful eyes. I can turn ugly, but I can't allow you to look at me without daring!"

Avril gave him a gentle push, and Jack's body fell to the ground.

Upon hearing the noise, a muscular foreigner in a black suit opened the door and walked in. He glanced at Jack, who was lying on the ground, then knelt down in front of Avril, holding her blue veins and kissing her gently. He said softly, "My most beautiful Sacrificer, please hand over the task to me …"

"Continue monitoring that Chinese man." Avril slowly pulled its hand away from the man and said, "Constance, no matter how nice your words are or whether you are my brother or not, if you are as useless as Jack, then Jack on the ground will be your role model."

Constance's body trembled. He raised his head and looked at Avril in fear. He gritted his teeth and kept quiet.

"..."

"What happened? Did you get a call or something?" Looking at Lin Bai's stuffy expression, He Minglin could not help but laugh.

Lin Bai sighed. He looked at He Minglin and said softly, "Uncle He, I've managed to hide this matter from you with great difficulty. How about you pour it all out for me …"

"I think the two of you are quite compatible. The old chief's eyes are as sharp as ever." He Minglin chuckled, lightly flattering his old head, before teasing Lin Bai.

Lin Bai's mouth twitched. He looked at He Minglin and was just about to say something, when he suddenly realized that there was something wrong with He Minglin's face. He looked carefully again and his brows immediately furrowed. After hesitating for a while, he looked at He Minglin and asked softly, "Uncle He, have you felt any discomfort recently?"

"Uncomfortable …" He Ming Lin looked at Lin Bai in surprise, not understanding why he suddenly changed the topic, "No, my body is still the same as before, but back when I was a guard for the old head, I suffered some minor injuries during the war at Old Mountain, and now my appearance has changed to that of rheumatism."

Hearing He Minglin's words, Lin Bai lowered his head in thought.

From He Minglin's appearance, Lin Bai could tell that this person had a poor family background when he was young, but when he was in his twenties, the situation began to change, especially when he grew older.

However, how could such a person have a horizontal cut on his forehead, although it was very common in elderly people. This faintly pushed He Minglin's luck towards a different direction. If he allowed this Crosscut Mark to continue developing, then he might be unable to accomplish anything in the first half of his life, and might even end up with a prison full of blood.

"Lin Bai, since you've come here to visit Yu, you should let Uncle He be the host. If you have anything to say, feel free to say it to me. Just tell that kid, Shaoyu, that he's familiar with Yu. If he can't find Secretary Sun, then that's fine. He Minglin did not take Lin Bai's words to heart. Instead, he smiled as he spoke to Lin Bai.

He Minglin didn't care, but Lin Bai couldn't help but care. From He Minglin's position, it could be seen that he was a pillar the Liu Clan had purposely cultivated, and was also one of the future pillars of the Liu Clan. If anything were to happen to him, it would inevitably involve the Liu Clan.

Crosstalk was rather awkward, especially for a government official like He Minglin. If anyone heard this, they would not know how gossiping would turn out. Therefore, after Lin Bai laughed, he decided not to pursue the matter any further. He decided to start from He Shaoyu and see what had happened to He Minglin.

"Lin Bai, I heard from Shaoyu that you've started a company here?" He Minglin was like all the other elders. After seeing his nephew, he asked about his future plans the most.

Lin Bai hesitated for a moment before nodding and saying softly, "It's just a small matter, just a joke."

"Tell me, and see if I, Uncle He, can help." He Minglin's interest was immediately piqued. He smiled as he looked at Lin Bai.

Lin Bai helplessly shook his head and said, "Uncle He, you really might not be able to help much with this matter."

"What else do you want from me, He Minglin?" He Minglin watched Lin Bai play.

Lin Bai thought for a moment and said, "Uncle He, I'm doing a feng shui business. I'm afraid it would be difficult for you to help me with this even if you wanted to!"

When He Minglin heard this, he could not help but bitterly smile. Lin Bai's words were indeed true. In the eyes of the world, the Feng Shui phase technique was just a feudal superstition, and it belonged to the scope of breaking four old records. As a government official, he really couldn't have anything to do with these things.

He Shaoyu watched anxiously from behind as Lin Bai chatted happily with her grandfather. Her heart leaped into her throat, afraid that Lin Bai would tell her about their friendship without even a fight. If his own grandfather were to find out about this, then he, He Shaoyu, would probably have had to eat a broomstick.

"Never thought of doing anything else?" After a moment of hesitation, He Minglin suddenly thought that if he could keep Old Liu's grandson by his side, with this kid's intellect, perhaps his future achievements would not be inferior to his.

Lin Bai shook his head, rejecting the offer straightforwardly and thoroughly. "I'm used to wandering around. Being a government official isn't suitable for me."

"It's alright if you can't get used to it. Being in charge is a blessing for one side, but it's also a fun thing." He Minglin continued to seduce Lin Bai like a strange corn.

It was fortunate that He Shaoyu could not hear He Minglin's words now. Otherwise, she would have gone to find a hole and bury herself there. He had been looking forward to it every day, and his mother had been sleeping soundly every day. Yet, the good things that he had been looking forward to were easily taken out by He Minglin as a method to trick Lin Bai.

Lin Bai hesitated for a moment, then said to He Minglin in a soft voice, "Uncle He, I don't know if you've heard this story before, but there's a bird in this world that has no feet, so it can't stop. It can only fly here and there, and when it descends, it will die."

He Minglin nodded slowly.

Lin Bai lightly replied, "I'm just that type of bird. I can't fly, I'd rather die!"

He Minglin was stunned, then broke into laughter.

Freedom seemed to be a pretty good thing!
