I'm Not the Hands of the Devil

Chapter 11: I Am Not the Feet of the Devil

“you failed?”

The bookstore owner said in a reproachful tone, as he sat up straight and looked at Ji Zhixiu.

Ji Zhixiu took a deep breath and nodded, muttering with anger and disappointment. “Yes, I failed. He escaped, with his whereabouts currently unknown.I've sent people to look for him but they haven't found any clues yet. ”

This situation seemed rather serious, Lin Jie frowned as he thought to himself.

He has specifically conducted online searches at Ji Bonong and his Rolle Resource Development Company over the past few days. Lin Jie had heard about the company before and knew that it was a large company that monopolized the resource development sector of the lower district of Norzin and had many subsidiary brands including jewelry, cosmetics, and jewelry, and the food under his banner.

After researching, Lin Jie discovered that this company seemed to have a close relationship with the Norzin administration. The company not only monopolized resources in the lower districts, but only had the right to recruit people in the lower districts.

In addition to this company, contact with lower district personnel is strictly prohibited for others. The greatest punishment for offenders was life imprisonment and even their families would be banished to become followers of the Church of the Plague.

The uniqueness of Rolle Resource Development Company can be seen from all this information. And Bonong's only daughter, Ji Zhixiu, was undoubtedly a tall and aloof young woman.

Such a woman with a majestic background and many suitors had actually been cheated this badly by the scoundrel. Furthermore, he himself did not seem like a weak person. Thus, Lin Jie decided that the man himself must have been in quite a high position. There may also be criminal accomplices involved that result in Ji Zhixiu being unable to find him and exacting his revenge.

There must be some crime involved!

In Lin Jie's opinion, such a bastard who aimed to deceive the feelings and wealth of a girl was no ordinary con artist!

He smiled reassuringly and pushed a cup of hot tea. “Quiet, don't worry. Tell me what you've done to her these past few days?”

Clearly, this young lady before him had suffered a setback, causing him to doubt himself. Lin Jie knew that this was not the right time to take a firm stance.

Previously, he used the words “force” to encourage Ji Zhixiu's determination to take revenge. But now, he felt it was best to calm him down first.

The bastard's escape meant that Ji Zhixiu's act of revenge was a significant success, however, his escape caused Ji Zhixiu's determination to be slightly shaken.

Still, this is not something that is too worrying. Given the strength of his family, it was highly unlikely for that bastard to completely disappear and the current situation was only temporary.

Now, Ji Zhixiu seemed to be gripping the straw by coming to look for Lin Jie for guidance. But from a different aspect, this is also a good thing.

That meant he had already become dependent on Lin Jie's chicken soup. Lin Jie would be able to help stabilize the mental state of this customer as long as he worked on it a little more!

The strategy that Lin Jie used now was to make Ji Zhixiu remember every step of his revenge plan and from there, gradually free himself from the tribulation and regain his confidence once again.

Ji Zhixiu's heart skipped a beat as she looked at the bookstore owner's furrowed brows.

Oh no, is it because of my failure? Will he choose someone else instead? Anxious thoughts quickly flooded Ji Zhixiu's mind, making him feel even more panicked than when Heris escaped.

Fortunately for him, Lin Jie's smile immediately returned and he poured a cup of tea for her like the previous time.

He breathed a sigh of relief without a sound.

Ji Zhixiu received a cup of tea. Staring at the brown liquid, he said, “I fought with him continuously for two days. Even though she has a huge advantage, I also became stronger after receiving your guidance and beating her to a continuous retreat.”

“Yesterday, after paying a high price and a cruel attack for more than five hours, I managed to destroy his headquarters.”.

“However, it was only then that I realized that he had abandoned his comrades and fled alone because he realized that he was no match for me. Now, I realized that I had underestimated him too much. Things that develop so smoothly are basically a warning that something is wrong.”

He lifted his head with regret. “Sorry, Mr. Lin, I feel satisfied.”

“No, it's okay. It wasn't your fault, ” Lin Jie said as she maintained her smile. However, he took a sip of tea to hide a slight twitch on his lips.

Why does it feel...Something is wrong?! But it is said that love is like business and business is a battlefield. So with a simple substitution, love is a battlefield. This young lady was used to using the term business so the way she expressed herself was a little strange.

Ha, haha.

And didn't that Ruen guy call him “bos”? Looks like this young lady might be playing in a secret society or something. It is easy for children from strong families to develop such habits.

Mm.. This makes more sense. What he meant was that he fought with that bastard for three days, maybe a lover's quarrel, in court, or maybe even a more physical and bloody process.

The bastard might have his own accomplices, maybe a wingman, or a side chick and ignore Ji Zhixiu with their help. But they were all caught in Ji Zhixiu's firing line.

However, Ji Zhixiu only understood that this cunning bastard had actually prepared a way out for himself— sacrificed his accomplice to save his own skin!

So it's like this…

Lin Jie nodded and cleared his throat, “I can really understand if it is like this.”

Only

Ji Zhixiu felt a little pleased but she controlled her expression and asked carefully, “Do you have any suggestions?”

As the two spoke, Ruen stood to the side doing nothing. Out of habit, he used the corner of his eye to observe this bookstore.

This is a professional habit that he built up over the years as an information seller. After becoming a hunter and joining the White Wolf, Ruen specifically helped Heris gather information.

Although he was not an expert in combat, he was a true intelligence professional and even had contacts and eyes within Truth Union!

He might have given up on strength and taken a simple stance, but deep down, he had his own pride.

There was practically nothing in Norzin City that he did not know about.

He even got an intelligence report known only to a handful of people about——””The Faceless Black Scaly Man Wilde is currently in Norzin City!
