Chapter 33

Chapter 3101: He is the Lin Ye of Zhonghai!

Mardi's face was solemn as he said bluntly,

"Is it that no one can match him in your eyes?"

It was clear that Mardi's words were laced with resentment.

Aphrodite's words were not something he enjoyed hearing, and his expression was extremely unpleasant.

"Of course, there are many who are stronger than him, but among us, he is indeed the strongest," Aphrodite said,

"Don't forget, the Hark cavalry's Gler just died at his hands not long ago."

"Damn!"

Crash!

Mardi cursed, crushing the wine glass in his hand, startling the others in the bar.

Aphrodite remained silent, smiling faintly as he sat opposite, seemingly delighted by the scene.

A few minutes passed, and Mardi had calmed down somewhat.

"Calm down, or you'll never catch up to him."

"I don't need you to tell me that."

"Just a reminder," Aphrodite's expression became slightly more serious, "Remember the purpose of this mission is the data they have. Unless absolutely necessary, don't target the people in Team One, and especially not those close to him."

"I don't care about all that; I only care about the result."

"Huh..."

Aphrodite sneered, "If you were really that carefree, I might admire you a bit."

"What? Do you think I'm really afraid of his revenge?"

"If you truly had no qualms, why did you target Zhonghai?" Aphrodite said,

"If your memory is bad, I can remind you. He has a woman named Liang Ruoxu living in the capital. Targeting her would be much more effective."

Mardi's face changed, the veins on his neck bulging, his anger impossible to hide.

They all knew Liang Ruoxu's identity.

Even without Lin Ye's intervention, anyone who touched her would be dead.

"So, calm down," Aphrodite said,

"The women and brothers around him can be used as means to achieve our goals, but we must not harm them. That's the rule in this line of work. We're not small-time thugs; it would be beneath us."

Mardi said nothing more, his face cold and grim as he walked out of the bar.

Seeing him leave, a short-haired man sitting nearby took Mardi's seat.

"Boss, we should try to get what Lin Ye has. It might be more important than the data. Should we act alone?"

"Not worth it," Aphrodite said,

"Although Mardi and I are partners, he's the one doing all the work. Even if Lin Ye wants to cause trouble for me, he has no reason to."

"But that thing might be very important, possibly something that came from the island."

"So what? Do you want to live longer? Or should I send you on your way?"

The short-haired man didn't dare speak again, sitting silently in his chair.

"Let Mardi, the fool, handle it. If it succeeds, I'll get half the share."

A glint of determination appeared in Aphrodite's eyes, "Now is not the time to confront Lin Ye directly. That man is still too dangerous for us to provoke."

...

In the bar, after Lin Ye left, the drinking session continued.

"Brother, when will the photos we took today be ready?" Liang Jinming asked, holding a cigarette.

Qin Han and Gao Zongyuan also looked at him, seemingly wanting to ask the same question.

They were all looking forward to the group photo taken today.

For them, those photos were a testament to their friendship.

They would definitely display them in prominent places when they got them back.

"Normally, it would take a day to edit, but since these are photos of our own, I'll do a more detailed edit. Give me three days, and I'll definitely have them ready," Zhao Kangming said with a smile.

"With my and Brother Lin's good looks, no editing is needed," Qin Han said with a laugh,

"You two are so ugly, you definitely need a detailed edit, ha ha..."

"Go to hell, I'm not as ugly as you. Otherwise, you wouldn't have been single for so many years, with no woman even looking at you."

"Damn, I'll drink you under the table today."

The three of them teased each other, and Zhao Kangming stood up, smiling apologetically,

"Brother-in-law, Brother Qin, Brother Ming, I'm going to the bathroom. I'll be back with more food. Do you want anything?"

"No need for more drinks, we've already had quite a bit. Just bring back some fruit platters," Gao Zongyuan said, slightly drunk.

"Sure thing."

Zhao Kangming got up and left, and the three of them relaxed even more without outsiders around.

Qin Han, holding his drink, grumbled,

"Brother Lin has been busy these past few days. I don't know what he's up to."

"Although he hasn't said much, we can guess a lot about Brother Lin's identity," Liang Jinming said,

"We can't do anything about it. It's his choice, and he's so level-headed, he shouldn't have any problems."

"But the problem is, the bracelet he gave you is too damn mysterious. He said none of us can touch it, and just thinking about it gives me goosebumps."

"I'm a bit scared too, and it's radioactive," Gao Zongyuan said.

"Damn, it's making me scared too," Liang Jinming said,

"The thing is in my car. If it causes infertility, what will I do, ha ha...?"

"No problem, I'll have more kids and give you one."

"Damn, go to hell."

Slap—

Liang Jinming lit a cigarette and said,

"Keep drinking, I'm going to the bathroom."

"You've only had a little to drink, and you're already going to the bathroom? Maybe Brother Lin should give you some medicine," Gao Zongyuan teased with a laugh.

"I'm not like you, too embarrassed to admit it. I've already had Brother Lin give me medicine, and now I'm in top form."

Liang Jinming, with a cigarette in his mouth, got up and walked towards the bar.

The three of them were always like this. In the bar, they never went to the restroom; they found a corner to relieve themselves.

"Brother Ming, you're going to the bathroom?"

Seeing Liang Jinming leave, a bold girl said,

"You're smart."

Although he didn't know her, it didn't stop Liang Jinming from teasing her,

"Looks like you've had a lot to drink. Can you stand steady? Do you need a little help, ha ha...?"

"Afraid your little hand can't hold me, ha ha...?"

After a playful remark, Liang Jinming walked out of the bar.

People greeted him along the way, giving him full respect.

He slowly walked to a small alley next to the bar. Before he could unbutton his pants, he heard muffled voices from inside.

Instantly, Liang Jinming sobered up.

The voices were familiar!

It was Zhao Kangming's!

"He just received a call and left in a hurry. I don't know where he went."

"Do you even know who he is! The Lin Ye of Zhonghai! I don't have the nerve to keep him here!"
