Chapter 221 - Wounded Man



Lin Xiaofei took the paper to where the lit candle was and made sure it burns down into ashes.

Things weren\'t looking good. She didn\'t think that the forces from the West would move so fast. It has been more than a month since she took Kael under her wings and they\'re already looking for him.

Yu Fangzhu certainly didn\'t have a clue where the child was and who took him from him. However, since Kael was taken from inside the Zheng empire, the culprit might be just around him. Thus, he must have given an anonymous clue to the people who wanted Kael the most so that the person who stole the child away from him would come out from their hiding.

Not only that, Yu Fangzhu planned to take advantage of the people from the West. He would surely make it so that they would feel indebted to him and repay him greatly.

This was his favorite strategy. To hit two birds with one stone..

Lin Xiaofei\'s eyes grew colder as seconds passed by. She should have taken care of Yu Fangzhu in the beginning but because of her lack of preparations and support, she cannot be reckless and hasty when making a move.

But precisely because of her slightly slow action against him, the trouble she wanted to avoid the most at the moment has come.

Pa!

As if she just woke up from her daze, Lin Xiaofei almost jumped with a startled look in her face. She turned around and saw that the window that was slightly closed was now opened wide and there was another person in addition to her inside the room.

Near the window, a man stood there, clutching his arm. There was a huge patch of red where his hand was touching and he was breathing hard.

Seeing that there was another person inside the room he jumped in, the man seemingly forced himself to stand before her and before she could react to him, he pushed her to the wall and covered her mouth with his hand.

"Don\'t scream." He whispered. He looked like he was about to fall from the pain but the strength he used to back her to the wall and cover her mouth was not at all weak.

Lin Xiaofei, of course, didn\'t want to take this situation lightly and wanted to struggle but seeing the menace shooting out of his eyes as if he would really kill her if she did something wrong, Lin Xiaofei decided to calm down.

Even though the man was hurting, he didn\'t seem to be one who would show mercy to anyone. Thus, Lin Xiaofei didn\'t try to struggle anymore. But that didn\'t mean she wouldn\'t look for any chances to get away from him.

When the man was finally satisfied with her actions, the man said,"I\'m going let go of my hand from your mouth but don\'t you dare try to scream. I can easily stab you countless of times before you can say a word. Do you understand?"

Lin Xiaofei slowly nodded.

Under the dim light, the room was without a sound. It was so peaceful and silent that no one noticed that there was something going on inside.

What baffled Lin Xiaofei more was that Qu Xing Xu surely set a few of his people near her courtyard yet this man got to her without anyone noticing and when he was badly hurt.

Under the man\'s vicious gaze, Lin Xiaofei calmly stared back at him which surprised the man. He slowly lifted his hand that was over her mouth while his other hand was ready to strike any moment if she tried to do something.

On the other hand, Lin Xiaofei felt disgusted when she saw that the hand he used to cover her mouth was bloody. That means that there should be some stains on her face.

Tsk. She wanted so badly to wipe her face buy with him being too wary of her, she decided not to do it anymore and waited for him to say something.

Since he didn\'t want to cover her mouth anymore, it would only mean that he wanted her to answer his questions.

Just as she was thinking of this, the man asked, "Where am I?"

Lin Xiaofei narrowed her eyes and answered, "You\'re inside the General Lin\'s residence."

"General Lin?" The man furrowed his brows as if he had never encountered this name before.

"Yes. The general Lin from the Zheng empire." Lin Xiaofei supplied.

"The Zheng empire? Where is that?"

Lin Xiaofei was surprised to hear him say that.

Even though the Zheng empire wasn\'t that great as the other three kingdoms, at least her grandfather was widely known for being one of the greatest general in his time. Even though he already retired from being a general and no longer fought, his name still rang throughout the battlefield.

And yet, this man didn\'t know him? Was he lying to her and acting as if he didn\'t know so he could fool her?

But what was even stranger was that the man didn\'t know where the Zheng empire was. The emotions he allowed to show in his face wasn\'t a lie and as though he really didn\'t hear the word Zheng empire in his life.

Lin Xiaofei felt weird and wanted to ask him where he came from and what happened to him so she could understand what was wrong with him. However, before she could even open her mouth to ask, the man before her was suddenly pulled by his collar and thrown to the air.

A loud crashing sound took her attention and when she finally looked ahead, she saw the man grunting in pain on the ground while a feet was holding him down.

"I was wondering why I smelled something nasty when I came around. It seems that a pest got inside my wife\'s room." Qu Xing Xu laughed but the coldness in his eyes were enough to make everyone who saw him thought of death.
