"But... What about Brian Long?" Tyler asked the man with a mask. With a shade of curiosity shining in his eyes, he looked up slightly to see his mysterious face.
The man didn't reply to his question and instead, stared at the ruins covered in snow and kept silent. After a short while, when Tyler was about to ask another question, the man finally spoke in a low voice,"I don't want to get into trouble with him for now."
Tyler furrowed his thick and black eyebrows, and with a confused look on his face, replied,"But, Mr. Shen, he has treated David worse than an animal!If we only take our revenge on that woman, I'm afraid that the men under my charge will be unsatisfied..."
Before he was able to finish his words, Mr. Shen suddenly turned around to face him, with a sullen fury burning in his eyes. He then said coldly,"Unsatisfied? If anyone dares to say that, throw him out!"
Tyler shivered as soon as he heard this, then lowered his head and replied,"Okay, I understand."
Mr. Shen added,"When you deal with that woman, be careful not to leave any trace. Remember, I don't want to get into a fight with Brian Long yet."
"Yes, I got it!" Tyler replied respectfully and then went on to ask,"And what should I say to Mr. Zhang with the police station..."
"Figure out a way to stall him." Mr. Shen calmed down as he explained,"The new mayor of A City isn't an ordinary person, and I won't be manipulated by him!"
Tyler replied by nodding his head. Seeing that Mr. Shen didn't give further instructions, he then asked to leave. As he walked on his way, he turned back to glance at the ruins and wondered, 'Why does Mr. Shen usually stare at these ruins with regretful eyes? What did these use to be in the past?'
But more than that, the thing that he was actually more curious about was why Mr. Shen would absolve the man who had almost killed David. The Mr. Shen he knew wouldn't just let anybody else rule over him in A City. Even though he tried hard to think about it, Tyler just couldn't figure it out. Anyway, he did not really care about it.
All he cared about at that moment was to deal with that woman and avenge what she'd done to David. At that thought, a cruel smile appeared on Tyler's face as excitement and greed shone in his eyes.
He got into his car, started the engine, and then rushed towards the end of the horizon. As the car faded into view, a cloud of snow loomed in the sky, making the dark night even colder...
The winter wind was still blowing heavily outside when a pale wash of light appeared in the lower sky of the east.
"Hmm..."
A low moan hovered in Molly's room. She lay in her bed, with tightly frowned eyebrows and a pained expression on her face. Her face was flushed out of color and her breathing was deep and difficult. She licked her lips with the tip of her tongue and felt that it was slightly chapped out of dryness. Her whole body felt like it caught a fire and her throat seemed to burn every time she swallowed.
