"I want to tell you, too."

"The main issue is, I can't be sure if you are really that person's descendant."

Xiao Bihai chuckled amusingly.

She loved watching a man's serious expression the most.

"Alright, I won't ask anymore. I can find the answer to my own questions."

Lin Hai turned and left.

He could see that Xiao Bihai was deliberately beating around the bush.

"You've got personality, I like that."

"Listen carefully."

"Your background might be incredibly significant, it could even hold a secret."

Lin Hai paused, turned his head, and looked towards Xiao Bihai.

"Continue."

"Hehe, you want to continue listening? As long as you agree to one request of mine." Xiao Bihai's smile became all the more alluring.

Xue Meigui furrowed her brows; she, too, wasn't sure about Lin Hai's identity.

But if Xiao Bihai really deduced something and spread this news, it would surely cause quite a stir in Yanjing.

Most importantly, today's Lin Family was not the Lin Family of the past.

No major family power internally is as harmonious as it appears on the surface.

If Lin Hai really shared the same bloodline as the Demon Young Master.

Then it's highly possible that, because of the secret about his background, he'd attract the attention of malicious people or even get assassinated.

"What request?" Lin Hai asked.

"Very simple, stay with me tonight. Your body looks quite sturdy, enough for me to have fun." Xiao Bihai's eyes were sultry.

Damn, is she for real?

Lin Hai decisively denied it in his heart.

"Forget it, although I'm no saint, I'm not at the point of desperation."

"Besides, my four wives are waiting for me in the rental house."

Lin Hai shook his head.

"You have four wives?"

"Yeah, don't believe it?"

Upon Lin Hai's certainty, Xiao Bihai suddenly froze, her once soft and gentle eyes seemed to fall into deep memories and she muttered to herself, "It really is alike. Back then, he also had four lovers..."

"Who had four lovers? Damn, almost cooler than me." Lin Hai took the opportunity to quip.

Anger flashed in Xiao Bihai's eyes: "Who he is, you don't need to know."

"Keep my business card and get out immediately, or I might not be able to stop myself from killing you."

"Don't think that only men can kill, though I may be unable to wring a chicken's neck, I am one of the top poison masters in Yanjing. My husband, Yin Yuexia, was poisoned to death on our wedding night."

"Forgot to add one thing, my husband, Yin Yuexia, was also a poison master, but unfortunately, he was no match for me!"

After saying that, Xiao Bihai's eyes turned icy cold.

"Damn, women are indeed emotional creatures, changing moods so quickly."

Nevertheless, Lin Hai still remembered some key points of what she said.

His own father might not have been simple, and perhaps the mystery of his background had larger secrets entangled.

"Remember, if something unsolvable happens in Yanjing, call the number on my card."

"If one day I'm happy, maybe I'll mercifully tell you who your father really is."

"Now go."

After saying that, Xiao Bihai impatiently waved her hand.

"I, Lin Hai, don't need anyone's pity."

With that, Lin Hai, along with Xue Meigui, walked into the elevator.

As the elevator doors slowly closed, Xiao Bihai suddenly let out a laugh.

"You've got personality, I like that."

"Heartless man, if you were still alive, would you be happy to see your son being even more charismatic than you?"

Xiao Bihai muttered to herself, seeming somewhat dazed, as if sinking into the deep, inextricable memories of joy and pain intertwined...

......

The presidential suite was dimly lit.

A young man in a finely tailored suit, seemingly an elite of high society, handsome and suave, was sitting on a large sofa, slowly lighting up a cigar.

Lin Hai walked into the presidential suite.

Seeing the so-called Demon Young Master's face, he was stunned.

Lin Jiang!

The Lin Family listed on the Domination Dragon and Tiger Rankings.

The young man who once used techniques very similar to his own.

Also, the person he had saved at a critical moment.

"You've arrived," the Demon Young Master, or you could call him Lin Jiang, slowly spoke.

At the same time, he extended his arm and tossed a cigar towards Lin Hai.

Under the light, there appeared to be more tattooed names on that arm.

Lin Hai knew that the Demon Young Master in front of him loved to tattoo the names of the girls he'd been with on his body.

"I'm here, so you're the Demon Young Master?" Lin Hai slowly asked, lighting the cigar at the same time.

A limited edition from Cuba, these things are limited to twenty per year globally.

Each stick costs about thirty thousand US Dollars, at the current exchange rate between Huaxia and US coins, that's at least a hundred and eighty thousand.

Extravagant, too extravagant.

But to casually give one away, even more so!

Still, it tasted pretty good.

"May I call you Long Hai?" the Demon Young Master asked.

Lin Hai shook his head, keeping a poker face: "I don't know what you're talking about."

Xue Meigui, on hearing the words "Long Hai," was taken aback.

A few days ago, when the Demon Young Master returned injured from participating in the Domination Dragon and Tiger Rankings, he had said a few words to her, asking her to remember a benefactor's name, that name was — Long Hai.

For this reason, Xue Meigui went out of her way to investigate.

But she found no clues; she only knew that this Long Hai defeated the reigning three-time champion Kirin, and with an overwhelming style, swept through various experts to finally win first place.

Nobody knew Long Hai's true identity, only that he claimed to be a former instructor of the Dragon Tooth Special Forces unit.

"Could it be that Lin Hai is Long Hai? The two names do have similarities, coming from Dragon Tooth, so using 'Long' as a name isn't out of the question."

"But... how could he be the legendary expert Long Hai?"

"I've always observed every detail closely. He certainly knows some kung fu, but there's no way he's an expert like Long Hai!"

Just then, Xue Meigui was suddenly stunned.

She remembered the fierce manner in which Lin Hai had crushed the super assassin, the Ghost-faced Man, during the alleyway battle.

Though various events afterward made her temporarily forget this incident.

"Are you really the legendary Long Hai?"

Xue Meigui couldn't help but blurt out in surprise.

The Demon Young Master also then continued: "You are my benefactor, so I won't harm you, and since you share the same bloodline as me, I won't have any ill intentions towards you."

"Lin Hai, or perhaps, can I call you big brother?"

After saying that, the Demon Young Master stood up and respectfully bowed towards Lin Hai.

"What are you doing?" Lin Hai frowned.

"I'm just expressing my gratitude. People call me a madman obsessed, but I am someone who's clear about grudges and gratitude. You saved me and protected Mengru, so no matter who you are, in my eyes, you are my benefactor."

After speaking, the Demon Young Master took a deep breath and said to Lin Hai again: "Big brother, I invited you here today to tell you something about your background."
