Chapter 154: As You Wish
Back when they were in Ganan, Jing Du had already warned Yin Huaiyu that the system was being monitored in real-time, with methods very similar to those of the Magician's circle; coupled with the death of Yin Cilan and the evidence provided by the police, that Fool Card was enough to confirm the Magician's involvement. Now, the Magician has shed the veil of mystery, and that face has been replaced by Ling Wu.
Yin Huaiyu couldn't help but wonder what connection there was between helping Huo Xi escort arms and killing Yin Cilan; the only commonality was that both were acts of opposition against the Yin Family.
Does Ling Wu have a grudge against the Yin Family?
He doesn't know.
When he was young, he had never met this Eldest Young Master of the Jin Family, and when he got to know Jin Shaoyu, Jin Shaoyu would never even mention this older brother of his; sometimes his expression was resentful, sometimes it was sorrowful... At the time, Yin Huaiyu just found it strange.
So, Ling Wu's ten years of disappearance were spent in the Federation.
Why did he suddenly return?
Yin Huaiyu's gaze spilled down like water infused with light; he leaned halfway against the wall and asked, seemingly oblivious, "Ling Wu, do you know that what you are about to do is very dangerous?"
Dangerous?
Ling Wu's expression shifted subtly, though he quickly steadied himself, noticing a momentary flicker of evasion in Yin Huaiyu's eyes; he crossed his arms over his chest, his fingertips turning somewhat pale.
Testing him.
Ling Wu responded with ease: "I take money to do a job, why talk about danger or no danger?"
Hearing him say he was just taking money to do a job, and seeing Ling Wu's face remain calm without a single flaw, Yin Huaiyu could only change the subject: "Ling Wu, for an internationally renowned Organization like yours, are you still short on money?"
Ling Wu said something very realistic: "Who would complain about having too much money?"
Uh... speechless.
Yin Huaiyu was clearly choked up; he pondered for a long while: "But I am curious, how high a price could a stray dog like Huo Xi offer to be able to hire the famous Magician to take action?"
Ling Wu: "Industry secret."
"Fine... it doesn't matter if you don't say, but I am very curious about one thing." Yin Huaiyu maintained his crossed-arm posture and stepped two paces closer to him, his expression very puzzled: "Why did you swindle money?"
"?" Ling Wu was confused: "What swindling money?"
He does not do things that ruin his reputation.
Yin Huaiyu straightened his back: "On the Dark Web, you swindled 10 million from me and Jing Du in succession, and then left us hanging; don't tell me you've forgotten about this."
Ling Wu was righteous and self-confident: "Wasn't that a case of mutual consent?"
?
Mutual consent?
Yin Huaiyu pondered for a long time before he understood what Ling Wu meant; it was basically saying they were fools with too much money. After all, anyone with a bit of brains would have run off the moment they heard 10 million per minute; only he and Jing Du were the two suckers who honestly paid the money.
"Fine, I can't outplay the illustrious Lord Magician." Yin Huaiyu felt relieved: "I don't really care, but Jing Du has been looking for you for so many years; last time you swindled 10 million from him, and your subordinates even laundered several hundred million from his bank."
"If he finds out your identity, given Jing Du's temper, he won't let you off easily."
"He won't let me off." Ling Wu put his hands into his coat, took a step, and came to his side: "I don't care, it's just that Young Master Yin's painstaking plan to threaten me is about to fall through."
Yin Huaiyu turned his head and saw the handsome face of the youth crashing into his eyes; his breathing hitched: "Ling Wu, do you want to use me?"
His voice rose at the end, biting into the syllables.
"That depends on Young Master Yin's willingness." Ling Wu stepped back a few paces, placed his hand back on the doorknob, his brows and eyes curving as he bloomed into a beautiful smile at him: "I don't force people against their will."
Yin Huaiyu moved his gaze away from his face and swallowed his saliva.
Damn it!
Doesn't force people against their will.
Yin Huaiyu pinched his palm until it turned pale; then what was he smiling at him for?
Giving a slap and then a sweet date.
What does he take him for?
However, at that moment, time seemed to slow down; Yin Huaiyu lowered his eyes and saw Ling Wu's eyes, which haunted his dreams, now fixed on him like torches, making him feel as if his whole body were burning; the youth's skin was so white it was nearly transparent, the background of the changing room blurred in Yin Huaiyu's eyes, and only Ling Wu in the center remained exceptionally clear; he said: "As you wish."
