Casual Encounter

"You… You wouldn't abandon me right?" Tang Yun was taken back.

"I was afraid that you wouldn't want me," Lin Yi was speaking the truth. This type of casual lifestyle had caused him some distress.

"I… I am speaking the truth!" Tang Yun was firm with her words. "I am the type of person that is loyal until the end. If you don't want me, then I won't let another person touch me!"

Tang Yun was referring to the matter when she and Lin Yi had eloped to a hotel room the night before. She knew that Lin Yi would understand her meaning.

Lin Yi nodded, he picked up Tang Yun's hand. He understood her worries, and he knew where her heart lied.

Tang Yun smiled when her hand was held. She walked with Lin Yi in the direction of the school exit.

Before this, she would've thought that holding another male student's hand was something outrageous. But now, she felt that it was a very joyful thing.

Lin Yi drove Chen Yushu's beetle, it was because Chu Mengyao's Audi S5 was too eye-catching. Every time Lin Yi drives up to the hospital entrance, it would draw unnecessary attention.

The beetle was more subtle. Even if the car was small, it fits Lin Yi's high-speed maneuvering during traffic jams.

During this time of day, there weren't too many cars on the road, so it was a smooth trip. Even the traffic lights were operating smoothly, making the car ride very enjoyable. There was hardly any downtime waiting for the lights to change.

Lin Yi stopped his car in front of the traffic light. As he was waiting for the lights to change, a male with blond dyed hair came over to start a conversation, "Hey, brother. Do you want to play something exciting?"

It was a hot day, so Lin Yi had the window down, which made it easier for him to strike a conversation with Lin Yi.

Lin Yi looked at him but didn't speak. He waited for the individual to continue.

"Underground fighting, have you played before? It is very exciting. Every round goes by quick. You can bet money. Are you interested?" the blond male kept his advertising short.

"Not interested," Lin Yi shook his head in reply.

Underground fighting? It was those places where the rich spend their money and the gang leaders operate. Lin Yi fights so often, why would he be interested in these lowly underground fights?

"Oh… well here is my business card. If you change your mind, you can call the number above!" the blond male handed over Lin Yi a business card, and turned around to look for a new target!

Lin Yi looked at the business card description. It was advertising with the words 'exciting' as an advertising tactic. There was only a number on the card. No address. Lin Yi was about to throw it away when Tang Yun stopped him. "What is that? Can you show me? Underground fighting? What is that?"

Lin Yi handed over the card to Tang Yun. "It is a private hosting of fighting games, normally there aren't any rules. The only rule is to fight until the other person can't get up. Even fighting to the death is normal in these games,"

Lin Yi had participated in underground fighting before, but it was for a mission. There was no challenge to it because in these matches, there aren't many real fighters. As for the fighters going against Lin Yi, they would be instantly killed.

"Oh? Isn't this illegal?" Tang Yun asked in surprise.

"Haha, of course, it is illegal," Lin Yi nodded.

"Then… what do they use to earn a profit?" Tang Yun couldn't comprehend this.

"Ticket sales would earn a decent amount of money. The host can also be the house and allow participants to choose the winner. After several matches, it can earn a lot!" Lin Yi explained.

"Oh… they are casually walking around the street to distribute the card. Wouldn't that make it easy for people to discover?" Tang Yun wasn't interested in violent activities. She threw the card away in the storage bin in the car.

"These people are responsible for advertising. They are separate groups from the underground fighting people!" Lin Yi pointed at the blond male. "Those advertising people are very sharp with their eyes. They will judge you by what you drive and wear. They are targeting the young private car owners. Many of these owners are from second-generation wealthy families, which makes them the ideal audience of these underground fights.

Lin Yi simplified the whole business structure. However, it isn't that simple. These advertisers also carried other business cards to high-interest money lenders, vengeance contacts, and prostitution rings. If they weren't quick on their feet, they would've been caught early on in the game!

Even if they were caught, they wouldn't say anything. So the police would have to release them after a certain time frame if no charges were brought up. These advertisers were just hired help, they were accepting money to help advertise, they don't have any connection with the criminal parties so it is hard to catch them all.

"Oh… So terrifying!" Tang Yun nodded. "You are so knowledgeable, have you been to underground fighting before?"

"No… I participated in one," Lin Yi whispered.

"You… participated?" Tang Yun was shocked. She wanted to ask why Lin YI was doing something so dangerous, but she thought of how powerful he was so she didn't ask. It seems like Lin Yi's previous history was quite complicated...

Tang Yun wanted to know more about Lin Yi's past, but if Lin Yi didn't want to tell her yet, she won't pry. She felt that Lin Yi was a person with a lot of history and story, so no matter what he had done before, it didn't matter anymore. Whether it was good or bad, Tang Yun will love him completely!

"Haha, that is all in the past. When things settle down, I will explain to you my past history!" Lin Yi knew that he will have to come forth with his background. He never planned to keep it hidden from Tang Yun. All his history was too dark, he was afraid that Tang Yun couldn't handle all of it. So he would slowly reveal it to her!

"Ah… Okay!" Tang Yun nodded happily.

Lin Yi drove Tang Yun to Pengzhan Business Hotel parking lot. Then they took the elevator all the way to the twelfth floor and walked up to room 1209.

Lin Yi wanted to knock, but Tang Yun clenched tightly on Lin Yi's hand. Her palms started getting sweaty. She was confident that her love with Lin Yi would blossom!

"Don't worry, I'm still here!" Lin Yi clenched Tang Yun's hand, reassuring her.

Tang Yun nodded. She smiled and took a deep breath of courage.

Lin Yi knocked. It didn't take long for a deep voice to ask "Who is it?"

"It is me, Lin Yi," Lin Yi replied.

The hotel room opened wide, Feng Tianlong greeted them with a smile. "Lin Yi, Tang Yun, Welcome! Please come in!"
