The Taming of the Ruffian Hero

Mo Qian’s car was driven through a busy street, but the driver of the car, was a stranger with an evil smile.

The driver brought Lin Wenxi, who was totally sloshed, from the car to a hotel. Before long, a man wearing a peaked cap, walked hurriedly into the hotel and produced his ID card. The card showed the name Zhang Shouxi. Zhang Dong was a wanted criminal, so he changed to a new identity, to avoid being arrested.

At the milk tea shop of Jifu University, a few clerks had been waiting anxiously for a long time already, but Lin Wenxi did not arrive. They went into the shop to check. They found out that the shop was vacant. Greatly shocked, they contacted Hong Xuan. Meanwhile, they went to Lin Wenxi’s dorm to look for him. However, Lin Wenxi’s phone was turned off.

Late at night, Lin Wenxi was in a hotel.

Someone had covered Lin Wenxi, who was clad only in his underpants, with a thick cotton quilt. Lin Wenxi slept with a smile on his face. His intoxicated appearance resembled that of a tamed princess.

Zhang Dong gently pushed open the door of the room. It seemed that the door was unlocked!

Zhang Dong took a dagger from his trouser pocket, and held it in his hand. He pushed the door slowly, but nothing happened.

The first thing Zhang Dong did, when he entered the room of the hotel, was to put back Lin Wenxi’s clothes, and then he tucked him in. Zhang Dong was afraid that Lin Wenxi would catch cold, so he stretched out his hand, and touched his arms and chest. After a while, Zhang Dong went to check the table and the cabinet in the room, and even felt around the walls, for cameras. It was only when he confirmed that the room had no cameras that he felt greatly relieved.

Zhang Dong sat at the edge of the bed for a long time, staring at Lin Wenxi, and was a little lost in thought.

“What is going on with you? How can you give Mo Qian an opportunity to take advantage of you?” Zhang Dong could not help stroking Lin Wenxi’s cheek gently, as he thought to himself.

“Now everything is alright, Wenxi. I wronged you before. I’m sorry.” Suddenly, Zhang Dong could not help himself, and leaned over to kiss Lin Wenxi’s forehead, which was quite cold. Zhang Dong climbed into the bed, took off his clothes, and stretched out his thick arms. He put his arms around Lin Wenxi and hugged him tightly for a very long time. Only when Lin Wenxi’s body was no longer cold, and the bed became very warm, did Zhang Dong move away, cautiously and got up to get dressed. Unexpectedly, Lin Wenxi turned over in bed, and threw aside a corner of his quilt. Zhang Dong could not stop himself from sitting on the side of the bed once again, and covered him snugly, with the quilt.

“Wenxi, how long has it been since we had a good chat with each other? A year?” Zhang Dong asked in his heart.

“At that time, I really wanted to put my life in your hands, and let you end it. But how could you be willing to do that? I am too hypocritical, right? You would rather cut yourself and tell me that I owe you my whole life. Yes, all my life, I owe you.” Holding Lin Wenxi’s hands, Zhang Dong suddenly cried out.

“Don’t be wilful any more. Don’t be naughty. Take good care of yourself.” Zhang Dong murmured and kissed the back of Lin Wenxi’s hand.

“Not good.” A sudden dizziness overpowered Zhang Dong. He tried to steady himself and looked around. But finally, unable to support himself, he fell heavily to the floor.

Lin Wenxi felt as if he was in a dream, in which he met Zhang Dong, whom he had not seen for a long time. It seemed that Zhang Dong said many things to him, in the dream.

“Boss Mo, you planned this thing and even involved Lin Wenxi. Won’t all your previous efforts be wasted?” Luo Yang asked carefully.

“Luo Yang, why would I destroy Zhao Guangli, in one fell swoop? Tell me your opinion.” Mo Qian read an educational newspaper, and asked this question casually.

“Swift action is one of the best tactics. Hong Xuan was afraid that we would attack Lin Wenxi again, so he arranged for many guards to protect him. For one thing, this matter exposed Lin Wenxi’s actual deployment capability. For another, Hong Xuan would not have the means to arrange for people to protect Zhao Guangli, in such a short time. By making use of their plot to defeat them, you sent people to attack Zhao Guangli directly and killed him by surprise!” Luo Yang gave a thumbs up to show his approval and exclaimed.

“That Hong Xuan, he can really mobilize all the regular military troops. We should never underestimate him. But we do not even have one formal troop. All of us are depending on the Mo family. Our enemy is out in the open, while we are acting under cover. Each of the two sides has its advantages and disadvantages. Perhaps, we were able to successfully kill Zhao, because we had a bit of luck on our side”. Mo Qian closed his eyes and thought.

“Do you know why I am so anxious to bring ruin and shame upon Lin Wenxi?” Mo Qian asked.

“Won’t Lin Ziwei discover what you are doing?” Luo Yang asked in surprise.

“Yes. Do you know why Lin Ziwei is able to act so swiftly?” Mo Qian asked with a smile.

Luo Yang frowned, but he could not figure out the reason.

“They are starting to use tricks!” Mo Qian sneered and said, “We failed to do the business related to the Wang family, well. I doubt that the Wang family will do something bad to us. There were a few accidents at City A. Moreover, recently, several of our stores were always running into big and small problems. I suspect that it was Hong Xuan, who sent his men to do all of this. They deliberately stirred up trouble, so as to track us down by following the clues. Such means is indeed very different from Lin Ziwei’s old-fashioned policies. I wonder if Hong Xuan and Lin Wenxi are in this together. Hong Xuan has been honest for so many years. If he is only following Lin Ziwei’s lead, then it is impossible for him to act alone. Hong Xuan and Lin Wenxi ruined our stable situation, when they started investigating the incidents in City A.”

“Then we will have several chances to kill that Lin Wenxi!” Luo Yang said.

“Lin Wenxi is the Lin Family’s only child. If he dies, Lin Ziwei and Hong Xuan will increase all their efforts to seek revenge. Speaking of Lin Ziwei, when his wife Huang Xiya stood in front of the master, the master allowed her to stab him to death. Do you believe it? If Lin Ziwei were mad, he could drag the master out of his workplace and execute him on the spot. Do you believe that, too?” Mo Qian’s face was as cold as ice. “We may kill Lin Ziwei, but we can never get rid of Lin Wenxi! You must give up this idea, from now on!”

“Yes… Yes… Boss Mo. But what about the master and Lin Ziwei’s wife?” Luo Yang whispered.

“Things between them are history now.” Mo Qian said. In fact, what worried Mo Qian more, was Hong Xuan.

When they escorted Zhang Dong back, he said plausibly that he was the one who saved Mo Qian’s life.

“Lin Wenxi is a person who would rather die than be humiliated. If Zhao Yuan cut off Lin Wenxi’s ears, Lin Wenxi might still be alive. But if someone else cuts off his ears, Lin Wenxi would definitely take his own life on the spot! At that time, Lin Wenxi’s parents had to deal only with Chen Tianjiao. But do you know what Hong Xuan would do, if he knew that you had killed Lin Wenxi?” Zhang Dong asked with a smile.

“What would he do?” Unexpectedly, Mo Qian felt a little nervous.

“A year ago, you asked me to keep track of Hong Xuan. You know that Hong Xuan is Lin Ziwei’s bodyguard, and also Lin Wenxi’s godfather. But you don’t know that Hong Xuan has adopted Lin Wenxi. Hong Xuan has only one daughter, and his family particularly wanted a son. However, due to the one child policy and work reasons, he did not have any more children.”

“Hong Xuan has been with Lin Wenxi, since Lin Wenxi was two years old. The time Hong Xuan spent with Lin Wenxi, was even longer than what he spent with his family. Lin Wenxi’s father was very busy, and did not allow Lin Wenxi’s mother to spoil him. Hong Xuan brought Lin Wenxi up and trained him. If Lin Wenxi had not been so weak, Hong Xuan would have made him into a super soldier! Hong Xuan treats Lin Wenxi even better than he treats his own child. If you harm Lin Wenxi, Hongxuan will not give up, and would spare no efforts to hunt you down! If Hong Xuan were not in the charge of Lin Ziwei, he could become a god of killing! It was this quality that you appreciated most at the beginning, didn’t you?” Zhang Dong sneered.

“Zhang Dong, sometimes, you should think before you talk.” Mo Qian said.

“My parents’ lives are in your hands, which is something I am holding against you. You only have one weakness in your life, which I know very well. I know, all too clearly that you want get rid of me, at any time. But it is a pity that Chen Tianjiao will not be happy, if you do something bad to me.” Zhang Dong smirked. “You recruited a fierce tiger into the Mo family, not a sick cat!”

“Zhang Dong, I will not harm Lin Wenxi. But I can find a way to make him kill you. If you don’t believe that, would you like to give it a try?” Mo Qian laughed.
