Urban Ace Bodyguard
Chapter 659 - 709: Ya Mei's Dad? Nani!
"Is Tianlong very strong?" Lin Hai asked. He had heard Long Si mention the name "Tianlong" more than once with a tone that suggested great strength.
"I am now completely certain, Tianlong has reached the Legendary level," Long Si said again.
Lin Hai took a deep breath. Legendary level, that was something he definitely could not defeat under normal circumstances, unless it was someone with no combat experience, like those from the Ancient Heavenly Path who reject high technology and thus are not accustomed to the modern urban combat rhythm.
"Tianlong is someone with extensive combat experience, adept at utilizing all kinds of environments and high technology, and is very knowledgeable."
"Based on the combat cases I've investigated about you, high-tech weapons aiming for a surprise victory are basically ineffective against Tianlong."
Long Si analyzed seriously, his intention clear that he didn't want King Yan to die at the hands of Tianlong, especially after he had recently investigated the events related to Long Shier from the past as mentioned by King Yan, which uncovered many illogical clues.
These clues made Long Si find it very strange, hinting that Yanhuang Soul internally might indeed have big loopholes and insiders as King Yan had mentioned.
After hearing Long Si's words, Lin Hai furrowed his brows deeply. Facing a Legendary expert with unparalleled combat experience was daunting to think about, especially since the opponent could reveal his identity openly and fight without any restrictions.
In Huaxia, this was not exactly Lin Hai's main battleground; it was Tianlong's.
However, he also had trump cards, enough to deter Tianlong. Even if his identity were exposed, no one could harm the people around him or capture him. Having dominated the International Dark World for so many years, Lin Hai never acted recklessly.
But he did not hope to actually have to reveal his trump cards.
After all, trump cards are meant to be life-saving tools; once used, others will take measures against them on the next encounter.
No one is a fool, nor does anyone dare to claim they are the absolute smartest. Everything is relative, everything is a gamble—be it battle, strategy, or exhaustively using every resource.
"Why has Tianlong suddenly taken an interest in me?" Lin Hai wondered, as he hadn't provoked that bastard.
"It might be due to the changes in the order of the underworld, thus drawing the attention of some people. As far as I know, you had shown up at the Huadu Business Entrepreneur Conference," said Long Si.
"And, on the Yanhuang Soul's list of dangerous individuals, you're currently the top person, aside from a few old immortals. Every time you appear, it garners the collective high attention of Yanhuang Soul," Long Si said with some helplessness.
Lin Hai felt a tingling sensation on his scalp after listening, glad that he had hidden himself so well.
"Be cautious, Tianlong has several powerful figures around him, each one a Peak Supreme Strong. They could come looking for you at any time."
"My phone is a newly activated sim, I'm going to destroy it after our call finishes. If you need to contact me, use the old method."
After speaking, Long Si crushed the phone.
Lin Hai hung up the phone and started pondering deeply.
"Dabang Lin, are you going to agree or not!" Tao Shuishui's voice rang out.
Lin Hai felt his head hurting again, sh*t, he hadn't even finished dealing with the Little Witch's issues.
"Uh, well, when you really need my help with breast enhancement, I'll do my best," Lin Hai could only reply evasively.
"Hmph, that's more like it. Befriend me well, my cousin is the iron-fisted female mayor of Huadu. If she's in a good mood, I'll put in a good word for you. Maybe she'll pull strings to get you a public servant position, which will definitely boost your social status way more than being a lousy security guard," Tao Shuishui said, both threatening and enticing.
Lin Hai blinked his eyes and nodded weakly, his expression revealing his extreme craving for the "public servant" opportunity.
Tao Shuishui felt smug inside, but also looked down on Lin Hai a bit, thinking, Dabang Lin is just too weak. With the Heavenly Creation Finger, such superior kung fu at his disposal, he still immersed himself in the petty life of a security guard and muddling along.
"No education, no vision, it truly is a pity," Tao Shuishui thought Lin Hai appeared short-sighted and somewhat pitiful, but then she thought it was actually a good thing as it made him more likely to help with the breast enhancement surgery, something good for her.
In a moment, she felt a deep sense of intellectual superiority over Lin Hai.
"Let's go, it's about time. The little girl should be waking up soon, we should be leaving too."
Lin Hai suggested.
"Yeah, there's not much time left, I still need to go register at the university."
Tao Shuishui nodded.
The two returned to the hospital room and found that the little girl and her father had indeed woken up, but they were still bedridden, only able to lie down and look at everyone gratefully with wide-open eyes.
"Uncle, thank you, thank you." The little girl saw Lin Hai come in and excitedly opened her mouth in continuous thanks.
Having just regained consciousness, she had already learned from everyone around that a kind-hearted uncle had saved her.
Children's instincts are sometimes very accurate; upon seeing Lin Hai for the first time, the little girl knew that it was this uncle who had kindly saved her.
Hearing the innocent and sincere gratitude in her tender voice, Lin Hai smiled knowingly.
"Little sister, your injuries haven't healed yet, you shouldn't talk too much. You need to get well soon."
Lin Hai affectionately stroked the little girl's forehead, a gesture that once again raised Ouyang Xiaoya's impression of him.
"The beast actually shows a warm side, which is quite charming." The CEO internally praised.
The little girl earnestly said to Lin Hai in a childlike voice, "Mmm, Ke'er will take good care of herself. Ke'er is very well-behaved. Daddy is all alone and it's tough, Ke'er won't cause any trouble for daddy."
"What a sensible and clever good child." Lin Hai doted on her, stroking her little forehead.
Suddenly, he thought of his own goddaughter, Ke'er, who had recently been taken care of by Ouyang Xiaoya for pickups and outings. He had completely no time to accompany her, and his goddaughter had even pleaded several times to go to the amusement park.
"I should really spend some quality time with my Ke'er when I get back," Lin Hai thought to himself.
The little girl's father also kept thanking Lin Hai.
"Uncle, can you let dad give me a name?" the little girl innocently asked, her eyes filled with anticipation.
"Uh, you're this old and still don't have a name? Isn't your name Ke'er?" Lin Hai wondered.
"Ke'er is the nickname my mom gave me..." the little girl replied, a tinge of sadness in her eyes as she mentioned her mother, which was heartbreaking to watch.
"What name would you like to have then?" Lin Hai asked.
The little girl shook her head, murmuring, "Mom's name was Ya'er, I'm Ke'er, mom liked plum blossoms..."
"Uh, how about you take the name Ya Mei?" Lin Hai suggested.
"Thank you, uncle." The little girl smiled happily.
"Beast Lin, seeing how much you like her, why don't you just take this girl as your goddaughter?" Ouyang Xiaoya reminded him.
Lin Hai paused for a second, then smiled in realization, why not.
"Alright, let's do it, the old man now has two daughters," Lin Hai chuckled.
At that moment, Tao Shuishui's soft voice chimed in, "Uncle, if you take Ya Mei as your goddaughter, doesn't that make you Ya Mei's dad?"
"What's wrong with being Ya Mei's dad? Sh*t! Ya-Mei-Dad!!!" Lin Hai nearly spewed out a mouthful of old blood.
