After disinfecting and dressing the man's wounds, Xia Lin took the cleaning tools back to the alley to clean up the bloodstains. Thank goodness, this area was a bit out - of - the - way and there were no surveillance cameras, so his "strange" behavior wouldn't be discovered.
Xia Lin originally wanted to watch over the man, but he simply couldn't stay awake all night. At around one o'clock in the morning, he took a shower and went back to his own bedroom to sleep.
The next day, before Xia Lin even opened his eyes, he felt something was wrong with his body. When he opened his eyes, he found that he was actually tied up with ropes.
"You're awake."
Whose voice was that? Xia Lin turned his head and was shocked! The big shot from last night had moved a chair and was sitting not far from his bedside.
Come on, it had only been one night, and he could already get up and tie him up. His physical fitness was really amazing. Sure enough, even in a world without superpowers, a big shot was not comparable to an ordinary person.
The big shot coughed. Due to blood loss, his face was still very pale. His cold look in his eyes made Xia Lin not dare to say a word.
"I'll ask questions, and you answer honestly. Don't scream or struggle. Understand?"
Xia Lin nodded.
"Good. First question, how many people are there in your family now?"
"Just me. My parents have gone abroad."
"Second question, did you run into anyone when you brought me back?"
"No. There was no one out at that late hour, and there are no surveillance cameras in that alley area. You can rest assured. I've cleaned up the bloodstains."
The big shot nodded in satisfaction, and his tone when talking to Xia Lin became a bit gentler. "Last question. I'll untie you, but I want to stay here for a while. Is that okay?"
"Sure, no problem. You can do as you like, sir." How could I dare to say no? You're someone from the underworld!
The big shot untied Xia Lin. "Don't worry. I'll definitely reward you when I can go back."
Xia Lin stood up and stretched. "Sir, are you hungry? What would you like for breakfast?"
The big shot frowned. "My name is Xiao Jinyu. Don't call me with that strange title."
"Got it, Mr. Xiao. Do you have any special requests for breakfast?"
"Anything will do." After saying that, the big shot, Xiao Jinyu, went into the room where Xia Lin's parents usually slept.
Xia Lin could cook a bit, but his cooking skills were average. Worried that his cooking wouldn't suit Xiao Jinyu's taste, Xia Lin simply went out to buy breakfast.
So, the two of them sat face - to - face at the small dining table. Xiao Jinyu stared silently at the spicy soup and fried dough sticks in his bowl and on the plate.
Xia Lin asked curiously, "Why aren't you eating? Aren't you hungry?"
"What... are these?"
Oh no, Xia Lin had forgotten that the big shot was used to eating delicacies from the mountains and the sea and might not know these commoner foods. "Mr. Xiao, this is spicy soup, and this is fried dough stick. The breakfast shop I chose is clean. There were a lot of people waiting in line to buy. Try it. It's really delicious!"
Xiao Jinyu frowned and pinched the fried dough stick with two fingers in disgust and took a bite. Well... it didn't taste as strange as he'd imagined. It was okay. Moreover, Xiao Jinyu was really hungry. He wasn't that resistant to these commoner foods that he used to think were dirty. He ate bite by bite and finally finished everything.
Seeing Xiao Jinyu finish his breakfast, Xia Lin heaved a sigh of relief. He thought to himself that since he'd lost so much blood yesterday, he should figure out how to cook a simple but blood - enriching lunch.
