Chapter 6: Division of Labor, Fanning the Flames
Shi Lingyan, who had attracted all the attention, merely glanced at them indifferently and then, as if oblivious to their presence, took a seat on the living room sofa. He casually reached for the cigarette box on the small table, pulled out one, picked up a match without haste, lit it leisurely, and then, squinting his eyes, looked up with the cigarette between his lips.
Shi Yunchang felt a sense of humiliation burgeoning within him, as if he were being ignored. He clenched his fists and ground his teeth, saying, "You'd better explain to us what's going on here!"
Lingyan exhaled a long ring of smoke, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he gave a faint smile, "Who allowed you to come in?"
His voice was not loud, carrying a hint of laughter.
That laughter was faint and imperceptible, cold as frost.
Shi Xuebai realized the implications of Shi Lingyan's attitude and felt a sense of foreboding.
Who was Shi Lingyan, after all?
Not merely in Yan City, but across the entire Xia Country, he was a figure of significant influence!
Offending such a person was undoubtedly very unwise.
