How Many People Are in Your Family

No one present believed Lin Shuguang's words except Xu Jie and Song Wan.

He himself did not care.

They were never on the same path, so there was no need to make everything clear.

Facing the suspicious yet unspoken looks from the others, Lin Shuguang merely smiled casually as he listened to them smugly recount how several seniors had become Martial Arts Apprentices over the past few months. Every one of them wore a spirited expression.

Indeed, to these students who had only just left their high school years behind, becoming a Martial Arts Apprentice was already an insurmountable mountain.

Little did they know that even high-and-mighty Martial Artists... countless of them had died at Lin Shuguang's hands.

The banquet was halfway through.

Lin Shuguang chatted with Xu Jie about many things abroad, but their private conversation was unexpectedly interrupted by the ringing of Lin Shuguang's phone.

"Director Lin, there's an emergency mission..."

"I understand. I'll be there right away." Lin Shuguang hung up and looked apologetically at Xu Jie and the others. "Something came up. I'll be leaving first."

"Where are you going? I'll have the driver take you." Song Wan rose as well.

Lin Shuguang said casually, "No need. Someone's coming to pick me up."

He patted Xu Jie on the shoulder. "I'm off."

"I'll see you out." Xu Jie rose too and said to Song Wan and the others, "You eat. I'll see Old Lin off."

"I'll go. Come back and eat." Song Wan walked over.

The scene made everyone present cast sidelong glances.

Lin Shuguang pushed them both back. "Forget it. You eat. Things are rather urgent on my end, so I won't stay and chat. We'll get together again next time."

With that, he opened the door and left alone.
