“For a rising athlete like Lin Hao, if these controversial pictures get out, his career may not end right away, people are still going to talk. Do you think a young man like him will be able to withstand what they are going to say?”

In that case, a rising tennis star was probably going to fall.

Chen An uttered these threats without further ado; shaking the phone in his hand, he even managed to put on a look of total innocence.

“And what if he falls, what does that have to do with me?” Dong Xie was going to put up a final fight.

“Tsk, tsk.” Chen An drew his fingers lightly across Lin Hao’s chest in circles; Dong Xie followed the movement closely with his eyes, which of course did not escape Chen An: the man’s angry and anxious expressions did not agree with what he just said at all.

“I know you care about him. You have been watching him from a distance, admiring him; now are you going to stand by and watch him harmed? Well, well. Let me cut the tendons on his wrist; he will never play tennis after that.”

Motioning to Lu Feng to keep a close eye on Dong Xie, Chen An took out a knife with sharp blade from his pocket and aimed it at Lin Hao’s wrist.

“Stop it! Lu Feng, you want my life, right?” Veins stood out on Dong Xie’s forehead; he grit his teeth and glared at Lu Feng and Chen An.

“Wait a moment. With your moniker of the ‘eastern heretic’, how can you be such an idiot when it comes to affairs of the heart? If we wanted to kill you, we would have put a hole in your head in the first place, without wasting our breath.”

Chen An shook his head; so it was true: falling in love did turn people into idiots. And he didn’t want to turn into an idiot.

“Tell us who took our goods in Syria; we will let Lin Hao go and never lay our hands on him, ever again.”

As he spoke, Chen An fiddled the blade next to Lin Hao’s wrist. One simple move and Lin Hao would be forever ruined.

Dong Xie glimpsed at Chen An, suspicion rising in him. He did not remember there was someone like this. How come Lu Feng suddenly had such a formidable person by his side?

Judging from the way Lu Feng acted, he was clearly following the other’s orders. Dong Xie didn’t know Lu Feng would take orders from anyone except for the Old Fox.

But given the circumstances, Dong Xie didn’t have much time to think; his entire attention was grabbed by the shiny blade, while he knew the man holding the blade, with cold and sharp eyes, was not someone to be trifled with.

After thinking for a moment, Dong Xie said: “How do I know I can trust you?”

“You have no other choice.” Chen An said with a big smile.

Seeing the confident, everything-in-control smile, Dong Xie’s eyes widened, his voice filled with surprise: “you are…”

Chen An knew what he was going to say. The sharpness in his eyes dissipated somewhat, while the smile got bigger, “it doesn’t matter who I am. Have you decided? I’m not a man of much patience; my hand is a bit sore holding the knife all this time: it might slip any minute and you really don’t want to see that.”

Casting another deep glance at Chen An, and then at Lu Feng, Dong Xie’s suspicion deepened.

The man didn’t have the same looks, yet he felt so familiar that he must be the damn Old Fox. He heard last year that the Old Fox died; there was even a funeral.
