Chapter 11: First Battle

t beginning to twinkle. Wang Lin walked into a noodle shop. At this time, the proprietress was sitting at the back kitchen door playing with her phone. Seeing Wang Lin come in, she said while still pl...Three days later, Wang Erpao's phone call came again.

"Your onboarding paperwork is complete. Come to the office Saturday night to meet your colleagues."

"Okay, what time"

"Eight o'clock, just come over after work."

“Having hung up the phone, Wang Lin continued his ordinary yet extraordinary career.”

On the other side

Wang Erpao hung up the phone and turned to the Scarfaced Man, "Are you sure"

"I said, boss, if I can't beat you, can't I handle him He's just a rookie. Don't forget my abilities!" The Scarred Man said speechless.

We still need to be fully prepared, after all, the goal this time is not to kill the enemy, and there's only one chance.

"Don't worry, boss. I guarantee it will be foolproof. Just watch!" the Scarred Man grinned. "But, is this really necessary"

"Of course, judging from the last time, it should only appear under Wang Lin's moment of fear, and Wang Lin is very smart, ordinary methods can't scare him." Wang Erpao looked extremely confident.

"Okay, everything is up to you, leader. If anything happens, you've got our backs, haha."

The scarface's attitude of complete deference to the old horse made Wang Erpao swallow the words he was about to say.

"Remember to choose a place where there are few people, and try to avoid too many onlookers. If things get out of hand, I won't be able to contain it."

Wang Er Pao was still not at ease and urged again. He remembered the scar-faced man's past performance very clearly, every time he had to work hard to help him wipe his butt.

"Boss, you say what, I do what, absolutely no violation of your wishes. But sir, shouldn't we allocate some funds With money, things get done so much easier."

The scarfaced man rubbed his hands together, leering at Wang Erpao.

"Wow, this requires funding You have a big budget, don't you"

The scar-faced man hurriedly waved his hand and quickly stepped back. "No, no, please, you're busy, I'll take my leave."

Before Wang Erpao could react, he turned and ran away.

Wang Erpao helplessly turned his head to look at the young man sitting in the corner playing with his phone.

The young man immediately stood up. "Don't look at me, act like I don't exist, I'm leaving now."

"Don't rush off, Xiaoyue. How old are you this year" Wang Erpao stood at the doorway blocking her way and asked.

"You just turned 22 last month, what's up" Xiaoyue was puzzled. Suddenly, why ask that

"Do you know how old the new person is They're almost 24, which is a good age, right Should we consider them"

Wang Erpao looked at Xiaoyue expectantly.

Xiao Yue blushed with anger and said, "Old bastard, don't use your matchmaking hobby on me, or I swear I'll beat you to a pulp!"

"Oh, still shy You're all adults now. Give it a try! You can't stay single forever, you know."

Wang Erpao smiled and continued to encourage.

That boy, you've never seen him. Although he looks average, he's really smart. He graduated from a top university and even gave up the idea of going out to work hard for his parents.

Seeing that Xiao Yue didn't seem to want to continue scolding him, Wang Erpao continued.

"As you know, there aren't many good jobs here and the wages are too low. He delivers packages to earn a bit more each month to send back home."

Xiaoyue, hearing Wang Erpao's words, also became curious about Wang Lin. Nowadays, it's not common to see someone so filial.

Wang Erpao noticed Xiaoyue's changing expression and didn't say any more. Hey hey, love always starts with curiosity.

On the weekend, Wang Lin asked his master for leave in advance. After work, he set off for the branch.

As soon as he stepped onto the bridge, he felt a chill run down his spine. Logically speaking, it was summertime, and even if the bridge was cooler than the surrounding area, it shouldn't have made him feel cold.

He stopped the car and looked around, but he didn't find anything unusual.

"Maybe it's just because I sweated a lot today and my sweat hasn't dried yet that I feel cold."

Wang Lin muttered to himself, and without thinking much, continued walking forward.

At this time, a man wearing a hood was squatting on the horizontal beam at the top of the bridge.

“This kid is quite cautious, but since he stepped into my trap, things won't be so easy for him.”

After he finished speaking, he jumped straight down from the beam.

At this moment, Wang Lin saw a figure suddenly appear on the bridge. Under the light, he could vaguely see half of that person's profile.

Her complexion was deathly pale, with blood slowly trailing down her face.

Wang Lin instantly felt a chill run down his spine. What the heck, am I seeing a ghost

He quickly turned the wheel, slammed on the gas pedal, wanting to flee the place as fast as possible.

When he turned back, the figure was gone. Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he saw the figure that should have been behind him appear in front of him.

Wang Lin's mind raced, and suddenly his eyes lit up as if he had thought of something. He shouted, "We have no past grievances, nor present grudges. You go your way, I'll go mine. Humans and ghosts have different paths, evil spirits disperse!"

Upon hearing this, the shadowy figure seemed to freeze. Wang Lin saw this and his heart leapt with joy – it actually worked! He continued shouting loudly, "Youngster, your spirit is complete and your energy is robust, your vitality is strong. Do not mistake yourself and harm yourself!"

Little did he know, the reason that figure was standing there frozen in place was because he hadn't expected Wang Lin to shout those words. Words truly are useless, what good would they do

Wang Lin saw no movement from the shadow and continued walking while calling out.

At a distance of ten meters from the figure, it suddenly swayed back and forth and then dashed towards Wang Lin.

Wang Lin felt a chill rush straight to his brain at that moment. He threw the car aside and ran away.

After his body broke free, his speed increased dramatically. In this extreme panic, it seemed to have once again activated his body's potential, surpassing his previous speed by a large margin.

But the phantom was faster than him, the distance between them closing rapidly. As he ran past a lamppost, Wang Lin suddenly found a shadow rushing towards him.

He rolled quickly to the side and then continued running, "No, the shadow just now was..., ghosts don't have shadows, do they This is a person"

Thinking about this, Wang Lin's courage grew. He glanced back, "Hmm, although it looks scary, there is indeed a shadow."

"You old geezer, you dare scare me Today I'll show you why flowers are so red!"

Wang Lin secretly took out the pair of scissors he always carried from his pocket and put them in his left sleeve. Then, he quickly turned back and punched the figure's nose.

The figure hadn't expected Wang Lin to counterattack. Under the full speed of his pursuit, he seemed very cooperative as he charged towards Wang Lin's fist.

"Huh This touch, is it really a human"

Wang Lin set up his starting stance and shouted, "I know you're a human. Why are you trying to scare me We each have our own paths, don't we"

As a flower growing under the red flag, he has always been kind-hearted. If the other party knew it was difficult and retreated now, he could let it go.

A sinister voice came, "Hee hee, you're the first one who dares to hit me like that! I'm going to kill you!"

Only then did I see the man wipe his nose with his hand, rubbing it on his body. His face was also smeared with a lot of blood, looking strangely amusing.

But now is not the time to laugh. "For this, I can apologize to you, mainly because you scared me first, and I retaliated in a panic."

"Want to apologize Too late! Die!"

After finishing, he rushed straight towards Wang Lin, "You old man, it was you who scared me first! You just punched me once, and you still want to kill me! Let's see who dies first!"

The other party's actions completely roused Wang Lin's anger.

His mouth began to continuously emit sounds like "ah ah, oh oh, he he, ao ao," and his face contorted into a pathological smile.

The body also began to run constantly, sometimes running and sometimes jumping, like a neurotic.

Seeing this, the man subconsciously slowed his movements. "Did this kid get scared off by my aura"

He didn't give him much time, Wang Lin punched his nose again. He quickly blocked it. "Coming again You goddamn...ouch, **, it hurts!"

Wang Lin knew that his punch would have little effect against a prepared opponent. So, the instant his fist was blocked, a swift and vicious kick aimed at the source of life shot out.

At this moment, the man was writhing in pain on the ground. Wang Lin took out a pair of scissors hidden in his sleeve, the blade tip pressed against the other's neck. "Can you please spare my life now"

That man writhed in pain, clutching his lower abdomen with both hands. But as a chill crept up his neck, he gritted his teeth, suppressed the agony, and stopped rolling around. There was no way out; he had to prioritize his life.

"Big brother, I was wrong. I won't do it again, please forgive me. Please put down the scissors and let me go." The man pleaded, his eyes filled with tears.

Actually, it's not that he isn't brave enough. The pain there was worse than death itself. He could be fearless in the face of death, but this pain was unbearable.

Wang Lin's eyes were cold, he didn't hear a word the man said, and repeated again, "I said, can I not die now"

"No, no more." This time the man didn't say anything else, and directly answered Wang Lin's question.. Only I know the reason for your visit here, and I've been with you all along!""Damn it! Don't give me that!"At this time, the expression of Zhou's patriarch also turned cold, and he put away his res...
