Chapter 10 Smiling At Me
Even after knowing that the world's number one organization, God Kingdom, sent two of their three giants to assassinate he himself, Teng Qingshan wasn't nervous at all. Instead, he was filled with expectation.
If he encountered Sun Ze and Dolgoterov now, he could defeat them with the flick of his wrist.
As it is extremely difficult to find a worthy opponent, an expert is lonely.
"The three giants are said to be the invincible legends? With me here, the legends will be destroyed."
Teng Qingshan called a taxi and left his house early in the morning.
"Can you go to the Old City District's Willow Tea House? You know where it is, right?" Teng Qingshan said to the taxi driver after entering the car. The driver laughed and answered, "Of course I know! I have been in Yangzhou for decades. How can I not know about an old place like the Willow Tea House? Worry not! We will be there in ten minutes!"
It was just as the taxi driver had expected. Ten minutes later, Teng Qingshan arrived at the Willow Tea House.
On the road of the Old City District, a white Audi sports car was spotted. On the front passenger seat of the car sat Lin Qing.
" Hey, Sister Lin, have you met Teng Qingshan these past few days?" Asked Xiao Min, who was driving.
Lin Qing shook her head and answered, "It's been over a month since I heard anything from him. Forget it. I don't want to cause him any inconveniences anyway. Let's just pretend everything was just a dream." With this, Lin Qing laughed and said to herself, "Dreaming is the only thing I can do now." Suddenly, a melodious ringtone rang out and Lin Qing took out the phone from her pocket.
"Hello." The moment Lin Qing answered the phone, her facial expression changed slightly.
"Tonight? Fine. I will see you at the usual place." As she hung up the phone, her expression appeared ghastly.
Xiao Min secretly hurled a glance at her and asked softly, "Was it Li Mingshan?"
"Who else could it be?" A hint of hatred flashed in Lin Qing's eyes.
"It would be great if he dies." Xiao Min said helplessly.
"Hmph, I will rather have him dead, but this kind of scourge always have a long life. Now, Ah Min, stop the car in front of Willow Tea House, I'll be getting out there," said Lin Qing, the car stopped slowly as it approaches the Willow Tea House, after Lin Qing got out of the car, Xiao Min drove away with the sports car.
"Hmph, I really hope he dies. However, this kind of scourge always live a long life. Whatever. Ah Min, stop the car in front of the Willow Tea House. I will be getting off there." Said Lin Qing. The car gradually stopped as it approached the Willow Tea House. Xiao Min then drove away when Lin Qing got out of the car.

As one step into the Willow Tea House, one would be able to feel the simplistic and ancient aura through antiquated costumes donned by the waiters and the arrangement and decorations in the tea house.
Nevertheless, Lin Qing had no mood to enjoy. She only came here to calm herself down.
As always, she went straight up to the second floor. As she flicked a glance, her dimmed eyes suddenly brightened and her breathing quickened. She hastily walked over and exclaimed, "Teng Qingshan!"
"Lin Qing?" Teng Qingshan was leisurely drinking his tea. He couldn't help but smile as he saw the person before him.
Lin Qing sat down opposite of Teng Qingshan and asked with a surprised and confused expression, "What important things have you done recently? It's been so long since I last saw you here."
Her words showed a fact—Lin Qing came to the Willow Tea House every day and her purpose was obvious.
"Just busy with some stuff." Teng Qingshan said in a casual manner.
"Lin Qing, are you always so free?" Teng Qingshan asked back.
Lin Qing answered with a faint smile, "The work of the company is easy and can be usually be settled by the people that work for me. They only need me if something serious happened. By the way, Teng Qingshan, you had been in Anyi County City and currently in Yangzhou City. You are never home. Isn't your wife worried? Is she not urging you to go home?
"Home?" The word home stirred up the emotions buried deep in Teng Qingshan's heart.
Does he even have a home?
When he was a kid, the orphanage was his home. The headmistress and brother Qinghe were there. When he became a hitman, he thought that anywhere with Cat was considered home.
What about now?
Does he still have a home?
Involuntarily, Teng Qingshan touched the little cauldron that he wore on his neck, the remnant of his wife 'Cat'.
"Teng Qingshan?" Lin Qing yelled as she noticed that Teng Qingshan was in a daze.
Teng Qingshan lifted his head and looked towards Lin Qing as he replied, " My wife...died."
"Dead?" Lin Qing said with her eyes wide opened.
It was surprising to have a wife at such a young age. Moreover, his wife had passed away, which was even more unbelievable.
"Stop asking me about it." Teng Qingshan said while furrowing his brows slightly.
Lin Qing knows the ways of the world. Teng Qingshan married and lost his wife at such a young age. He also has outstanding skills. All these things showed that Teng Qingshan is definitely hiding a huge secret." Teng Qingshan, how much do you know about Yangzhou City? Have you ever been to Shou Xi Lake?" Lin Qing started changing the subject.
And so, Teng Qingshan simply chatted with Lin Qing.
However, Teng Qingshan was mostly focusing on the house of his little brother Qinghe. He would look at it every minute and would notice whenever a person walks past the gate of Qinghe's house.

Around ten-thirty in the morning, a black Audi A6 stopped in front of Qinghe's house and a strong and tall guy that appear to be a height of 1.9 meters got out of the driver's seat. A pregnant woman who was wearing maternity dress got out of the front passenger seat.
"Qinghe!" Teng Qingshan really couldn't resist the joy in his heart.
It's Qinghe!" Teng Qingshan had some information about his brother Qinghe. He knew Qinghe's appearance. Moreover, Qinghe looks somewhat like him.
"That should be Qinghe's wife 'Li Ran.'" Teng Qingshan said with a joyful grin.
To see his brother and his wife in conjugal love, Teng Qingshan was very happy.
"Little Ran, I will carry the things. You are pregnant, so don't simply move around." At this moment, Qin Hong, who was tall and sturdy, open the boot and took out the two big boxes.
"I'm fine." Li Ran touched her stomach as her face glowed with joy.
As usual, Qin Hong looked around and immediately noticed someone watching them at the window on the second floor of the 'Willow Tea House.' As Qin Hong saw the appearance of that person, he felt a shiver running down his spine. It was as though he had been poured by a bucket of cold water.
"Wolf!"
"Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives!" Qin Hong's heart started racing.
Although there was news about a month ago, but the elites that had been on guard for a long time could not find any traces of the 'Lone Wolf of Flying Knives.' They couldn't find any trace of the two giants of the God Kingdom. Hearing about this, Qin Hong felt at ease. He thought that the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives had already left Yangzhou.
"He's still here." Qin Hong muttered as he tried to calm himself.
At this time, Qin Hong noticed that the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives nodded and smiled at him.
Qin Hong responded naturally as he smiled back at Teng Qingshan.
"Go, let's go inside the house." Without any hesitation, Qin Hong led his wife into the house.
….
On the second floor of the Tea House, Teng Qingshan extremely satisfied. He couldn't resist the urge to grin.
"Qinghe, I finally met my younger brother Qinghe! Haha, I didn't know that my sister-in-law is pregnant. This is wonderful…" Qinhe was the only one related to him by blood. They have finally met again after twenty-two years of not meeting. This meeting is even better as his brother is living such a happy life.
Teng Qingshan felt a happiness surging from the bottom of his heart.
"My brother is living such a happy life. Now, I have nothing to worry about anymore." Teng Qingshan felt at ease and happy. The wish that he had for twenty-two years was finally fulfilled.
He had no intention to talk to his brother Qinghe nor did he plan to reveal his identity.
This is because...
Teng Qingshan didn't want Qinghe to know he has a brother like him. After all, Teng Qingshan had many enemies. For instance, the Redmayne Family! After many years of being a hitman, he had made numerous enemies. Although Qing He is a member of the country's special operation team. However, Teng Qingshan was in a circle at the summit among mankind.
"Qinghe." Teng Qingshan could only stare at his brother's house and secretly give words of blessing.
******
Qin Hong and his wife 'Li Ran' entered the bedroom. When Li Ran was about to open the curtains and open the window, Qin Hong stopped her.
"Don't open the curtains." Only then Qin hong released his breath.
" What's wrong?" Finally, Li Ran felt something was not right.
"The person that was on the second floor of Willow Tea House is the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives!" Qin Hong whispered.
Li Ran was shocked. As Qin Hong's wife and a member of the special operation team, she was naturally aware of the confidential information.
"Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives? Did you say it was the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives?" Li Ran did not see Teng Qingshan.
Qin Hong nodded and whispered, "Little Ran, alright. The Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives is not someone we can deal with. As soon as Qin Hong finished his words, he retrieved his phone and called, "Hello, Brother Yang. It's me. I found the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives
Qin Hong nodded and whispered, "Li Ran, alright now, Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives this kind of terrifying person isn't someone that we can deal with." Immediately after what he said, Qin Hong took out his phone and called, "Hello, brother Yang, it's me, I found Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives. Yes, he is at the Tea House not far from my house."
"I understand. I won't act without thinking. Yes, I will wait for you to plan everything. Alright! Got it!"
With this, Qing Hong hung up the phone.
"How was it? What did Brother Yang say? Li Ran asked.
Qin Hong couldn't help but laugh, "What can he say? Brother Yang asked us not to do anything, he will assign people himself….We have no choice. After all, a figure like the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives is too powerful. They are the kind of people that can still drink tea leisurely even when they are aware that someone is tracking them. As for why they are able to do this? It's because they are fearless."
Suddenly, Qin Hong frowned and said, "Little Ran, now that I think back, I think the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives smiled at me earlier."

Evolution based StarCraft story with game-like elements. Everyone gets a good cheat-like system with well design UI and player-friendly system. I get this broken piece of shit Alpha version. Not to mention, that starting at the very bottom is not that fun. Oh well, let's hope things get better later. Warning - If you read this now, you will be essentially beta tester. The story will include biology, chemistry, but will not focus on it too hard. I aim to please both groups but inevitably will probably alienate both the people who dislike the subject and the ones who like it.
