【Ding~ Prevent Xiao Jinyu from killing the families of the two young men surnamed Zhang and Xu. Mission reward: Xiao Jinyu's darkness value will be reduced by 6 points. Failure penalty: Have a cold war with Xiao Jinyu.】
Xia Lin was a bit stunned when he heard this mission. "System, I don't even know these two people at all. What did they do? Why does Jinyu want to kill their families?"
In order for Xia Lin to complete the mission smoothly, the system had no choice but to explain to him. "Although Xiao Jinyu is involved in both the underworld and the white - collar world, causing countless families to be ruined and is a real big villain in this world. But he also has his own bottom line, so he has set a few rules: not to touch drugs, not to engage in human trafficking, and not to betray the country. If someone crosses these bottom lines, Xiao Jinyu will never spare them lightly. He will kill these people, and in order to prevent their families from taking revenge, he will also kill their families!"
Hearing this, Xia Lin finally understood. But strangely enough, for a moment, he actually thought that Xiao Jinyu's idea of eliminating the root cause was quite right. He shook his head. No, no. This thought was too dangerous. How could one despise life like this?
Especially when the system told Xia Lin that the families of the two young men did not support them in touching drugs, Xia Lin became even more determined to stop Xiao Jinyu. Of course, there was also a very important reason, that is, Xia Lin really didn't want to have a cold war with Xiao Jinyu.
So, at noon the next day, Xia Lin was struggling with how to start the conversation. Xiao Jinyu was speechless looking at his changing expressions. Putting down his chopsticks, Xiao Jinyu asked Xia Lin, "Xia Lin, just say what you want directly."
Xia Lin was taken aback and smiled awkwardly. "Well... Jinyu, in this era, there's no such thing as punishing the nine - generation family for one person's crime. I think if two people make mistakes, their relatives and friends should give them a chance, right?"
Oh my god, what was he talking about? His words were all jumbled up. He was so nervous!
Sure enough, Xiao Jinyu's face immediately changed. It became gloomy and cold. "Xia Lin, who did you hear this from?"
Xia Lin was so scared that he didn't even dare to swallow the mouthful of rice in his mouth. It was terrible! The aura of this big shot was so intimidating! So the so - called aura in TV dramas and novels really existed!
"No... I heard it by accident... I also guessed your identity and nature, Jinyu. So... I'm sorry. I shouldn't have..."
Xiao Jinyu shook his head. "Don't apologize. I've always hoped that you wouldn't get involved in these dark things, but I forgot that you're a smart and sensitive adult, and I didn't deliberately avoid you. Forget it. But I hope you won't interfere in these matters, Xia Lin."
Xia Lin lowered his head. "Oh... okay... okay." Right, he was just living with Xiao Jinyu. Although Xiao Jinyu said he regarded him as family, in the end, they weren't really family. He was being too self - opinionated.
Xia Lin's mission failed. It was his first mission failure, and he felt extremely sad. What made him even more stressed was that the penalty for the failed mission came true. He and Xiao Jinyu were in a cold war.
How pathetic. Did he get carried away just because he had always succeeded before? Xia Lin, accept the failure. It was your own fault! Lying in bed, Xia Lin said this to himself.
Because of the cold war between Xia Lin and Xiao Jinyu, the atmosphere in the entire manor became very solemn. So when Jiang Minghuai came to play with Xia Lin again, he was really shocked!
