Chapter 16: The Beautiful Landlady Lin Mengxin

  I kept running and didn't look back at all, thanks to the experience just now, as long as I encountered obstacles, I jumped over them directly without any hesitation, and soon arrived at my rental house.

  I finally let out a sigh of relief and wanted to rest for a while, but I suddenly discovered that I didn't need to rest at all! After running such a long distance, I didn't feel the slightest bit tired.

  After some thought, I didn't stay and hurried into the house. I sat on the sofa, drank a few mouthfuls of water, took out my phone and called Zhang Yu, but no one answered. I immediately felt that something was wrong, could it be that Zhang Yu had been caught? After all, Zhang Yu's skills were not as good as mine...

  I thought for a moment and then gave Wang Hu another call, this time it went through: "Hey, brother, are you okay?" I didn't speak up, but the Wang Hu on the other end spoke first. I sighed: "Nothing's wrong, Brother Tiger, is Zhang Yu with you?"

  "What? Why didn't Zhang Yu go back with you?" Wang Hu asked in puzzlement. Upon hearing him say this, my heart suddenly skipped a beat, it seems that something really did happen to Zhang Yu!

  That Wang Hu saw I didn't speak, so he knew Zhang Yu wasn't with me: "Brother, don't worry, Zhang Yu's brother is quite powerful in our circle, those police don't dare to do anything to him!"

  "What if we get caught by Zhou Feng?" I still wasn't at ease. But who knew that Wang Hu heard me say this and instead laughed: "Then there's even less to worry about, Zhou Feng is following Zhang Peng around, he wouldn't dare touch Zhang Yu, unless he wants to die!" Hearing Wang Hu say this, I finally put my mind at rest: "Alright, Tiger Brother, let's just do it like this, have the brothers take good care of their injuries!"

  Wang Hu responded with a single word, and we hung up the phone.

  No sooner had I hung up the phone than a hurried knock at the door came from outside, and my heart was lifted again.

  I don't know many people here, only Zhang Yu and Pangzi know that I live here, but now Zhang Yu and Pangzi are with me, so it's absolutely not them who came to find me, could it be that middle-aged man?

  The more I think about it, the more frightened I become, but the knocking at the door is getting increasingly impatient. I thought to myself, damn it, what's the worst that could happen? It's just the underworld, right? Who can take me down after I've built my foundation?

  With a surge of determination, I picked up the mop leaning against the door and opened it. Just as I raised the mop above my head, I froze, staring at the person in front of me, stuttering: "Lin... Lin sister..."

  "I knocked on the door for so long, why did you just open it now! And what's with the mop?" Lin sister scolded me harshly and walked into the house. I quickly put down the mop and explained: "I...I was sweeping the floor, hehe..."

  Lin sister sat on the sofa, stared at me with a smile, obviously not believing what I said: "You're fooling around! Pay this month's rent!" My face suddenly turned sour.

  Lin Jie's full name is Lin Mengxin. She is my landlady and looks quite good, except that her chest is slightly underdeveloped.

  I forced a couple of laughs: "Lin sister, can that be delayed for a few days? The money on me now seems to be not enough..."

  "My sister and I have been eyeing a handbag recently, and we urgently need the money. This time, it can't be delayed." Lin sister fiddled with her fingers, her tone not allowing refusal, and I felt depressed. Why is it that every time she comes to collect my rent, there's something she wants to buy?!

  I helplessly sighed: "Lin sister, wait for me a moment, I'll go make a phone call..." Lin sister was still fiddling with her fingers: "Go ahead, go ahead..."

  I walked onto the balcony, took out my phone and dialed a number. Before long, a mature woman's voice came from the other end: "Xiao Tian, what's wrong?"

  "Auntie, can you send me some money?" I said with a bit of embarrassment.

  "Are you out of money? How much do you need? I'll have someone transfer it to you." The mature voice of Auntie came from the other end of the phone.

  "I sighed: 'A thousand...' "

  "I'll send someone over right away," Auntie said, giving some instructions to the person beside her before turning to me and asking, "Xiao Tian, was it tough living outside?"

  "A bit..." I said helplessly, but as soon as I finished speaking, I felt something was off.

  "Well, come back then, your grandfather misses you..." As expected, Aunt wanted me to go back.

  "Grandpa doesn't drop that matter, I won't go back!" I said firmly. If the old man didn't drop that matter, even if I were beaten to death, I wouldn't go back! My aunt heard my words and helplessly said: "The child is too..."

  "Auntie, stop it, I still have things to do, hang up first!" After finishing speaking, she hung up the phone and let out a long sigh of relief. Now the rent can be paid.

  "Ah!!!!" Just then, Lin sister let out a shrill cry from inside the house. I hastily ran towards the house, afraid that something had happened to Lin sister.

  When I ran into the house, I saw Lin sister sitting on the ground, pointing at the sofa with a frightened look, and even her body was trembling constantly. I didn't know what had happened, so I hurried to Lin sister's side: "Lin sister! What's wrong!"

  Lin sister didn't look at me, still with a terrified expression, pointing to the sofa, stuttering: "Blood... blood, blood... so much blood..." I was stunned after hearing it, blood? How could there be blood on the sofa?

  Although I don't like cleaning the room, would there be blood? With doubt, I turned around and looked at the sofa. This look was not okay, I looked at it and my whole body trembled! The sofa in the house is red, if you don't look carefully, you won't think that ** on the sofa is blood.

  The only two people who have the key to this house are me and Lin sister, but Lin sister has so many tenants, the key is usually not carried on her body. It can be said that the only one who really carries the key is me. Where did this blood come from?

  Was it a warning from that middle-aged man? But how could he have arrived here before me?

  Although I don't dare say that after building the foundation, my speed can compare to a car, but I took a shortcut all the way, and when encountering obstacles like walls, I could jump over them in an instant. A sedan, no matter how fast it is, can't pass through walls, right?

  Just as I was in doubt, Lin's scream came from behind me again: "Ahh!!!"

  "Summer... summer, you... you..." I turned around and looked at Lin sister who was still sitting on the ground, she was pointing at me, her words were unclear, seemingly having suffered a great shock.

  I forced myself to calm down and asked Lin sister: "What's wrong, Lin sister?" "You... there's so much blood behind you..."

  Lin sister looked at me with a dodgy gaze, seemingly afraid of me, but after hearing Lin sister's words, I understood everything.

  It wasn't until now that I remembered, earlier when I was fighting with Zhou Feng and the others, one of Zhou Feng's younger brothers slashed me with a knife. That blood was flowing down from my wound. However, after running for so long, I didn't feel any pain... what's going on here?

  But looking at Lin sister trembling on the ground, I decided to explain first.

  I walked up to Lin's side, just about to explain, but Lin was extremely terrified, tears almost came out: "Xia, Xia Tian... I don't want your rent anymore, you... please don't kill me, okay..."

  This time I was stunned, damn it! What's going on here?! It seems that Lin sister saw the blood on me and misunderstood something.

  I forced a laugh: "Lin sister, what are you thinking? How could I kill you! The blood on me is..." But before I could finish my sentence, Lin sister spoke again: "You're an assassin, aren't you? I accidentally discovered your true identity, you must want to kill me to silence me..."

  When I heard Lin sister say this, I almost vomited blood! Sister, you are really super awesome!
