Am I really hallucinating?

Chapter 68 Negotiations failed
"Is that so? It must be quite extraordinary that you like me." Luo Ye said with a smile. His tone was surprisingly gentle, which surprised Hong Yijia.

"Yeah." It's hard to say whether Lin Yilin's response was perfunctory or concise.

"Haha, that's good too. When I'm walking around outside alone, I also feel that there's no need to hold on to some things so tightly. Yilin, it wouldn't be a bad thing if you can find a new partner on your own and keep going." Luo Ye said, looking at the road conditions ahead.

During the rush hour after get off work, there are many vehicles on the road and supercars cannot accelerate. Apart from being conspicuous, they don’t seem to have any advantages.

"Wow, are you still Sister Ye?" Hong Yijia said in surprise.

"I've always been easy to talk to. Did I ever give you any trouble when you first joined the club?"

"I didn't make things difficult for them, but the other things are hard to explain in a few words." Hong Yijia said with a wry smile.

Luo Ye said generously: "List them out if you dare, and I will try to improve them."

"Should words like this be prefixed with 'you have guts'?" Hong Yijia complained.

The two laughed together.

Afterwards, Luo Ye said to Lin Yilin, "However, I'm still worried about you being alone. Will you insist on running the firm alone after Mr. Edelman dies?"

Hong Yijia glanced at Lin Yilin and smelled something bad. Given Sister Ye's personality, she was afraid that she would get down to business next.

Only with them would Luo Ye be soft at first and then hard.

"Well..." Hong Yijia wanted to help speak, but Lin Yilin pulled her sleeve to stop her.

Lin Yilin stared at Luo Ye through the rearview mirror in the car: "Well, I want to run the firm by myself."

As if he didn't feel the atmosphere of Lin Yilin and Hong Yijia's serious preparation, Luo Ye drove with one hand: "To be honest, running an office by yourself is no different from a free man like me."

"That's my adoptive father's office." Lin Yilin said bluntly.

"Yeah, I know. I also understand how you would feel. I know you, Yilin. But, partnering with an illusion is completely different from partnering with me."

"I know this too." Lin Yilin interjected.

Luo Ye continued to himself: "I can trust him, but illusions are not trustworthy. I taught you this from the beginning."

Just as Lin Yilin was about to speak, Luo Ye followed up: "Yes, the power of illusion is indispensable to the reality of the black world. If you want to do great things, you can't do without it. I know this, so I can understand and accept your pursuit of those things for the necessary power. After all, I also put interest first and keep in touch with those things."

"Then what do you want to say?"

"How about joining a mature firm?" Luo Ye laid the groundwork for a long time before putting forward his real opinion.

"What's the point?"

"A mature firm, preferably a large one. I don't know much about Xixi Keke, Yijia, you can help arrange it, it shouldn't be a bother for you. In other people's groups, I will allow you to continue your current career with a dangerous illusion. This proposal is very humane, right?"

Luo Ye spoke a lot by himself, but the smile on his face was cold.

Hong Yijia's originally cheerful smile also disappeared.

This is especially true for Lin Yilin.

The car fell into silence.

"Where's the reply?"

"What's the difference between this and asking me to give up my adoptive father's firm?"

“What does it matter if it’s just the name of a firm? With Yijia’s help, your actions will not be any different. You don’t even need to consider too many trivial matters. You can continue to pursue your interests and be happy with your new toys. Your safety is guaranteed, and you can be baptized on a larger platform. I can’t think of anything wrong with it.” Luo Ye said casually.

“Sister Ye, I’m not that easy to talk to and can’t arrange people at will.” Hong Yijia couldn’t help but say.

"Then I can only use my connections, but that means I have to leave Xixi Keke."

Before she finished speaking, Lin Yilin said coldly: "I refuse."

"Reason." Luo Ye was not surprised, and his eyes were not even on Lin Yilin.

"I do not know."

"Hey, hey, hey, if you can speak a few words like the protagonist of a hot-blooded animation, maybe you can make me laugh even louder. What kind of answer is this?" Luo Ye couldn't help laughing. Lin Yilin symbolically held back a sentence: "That's my adoptive father's office. Although it was only a short time, I have accumulated some things."

"Are you kidding, Yilin..." Luo Ye's eyes were cold. "Don't I know you? We are the same kind of people. Do you really care about these things? It's just a so-called ritual to make up for your own interests and cover up your own inhumanity."

"Or do you feel like you owe the old man something? That's true, after all, the old man took care of you, but he also doesn't want you to put yourself in danger. My proposal should be perfect."

"Don't let strange emotions cloud your judgment when necessary, Yilin, we shouldn't make this kind of mistake."

"Don't speak so harshly, Sister Ye. After all, you are just concerned about Xiaolin's safety. Things like this can be dealt with slowly..."

"Don't use your tricks on me, Yijia. I don't accept your 'negotiation'." Luo Ye interrupted Hong Yijia and glanced at her in the rearview mirror.

The smile on Hong Yijia's face disappeared instantly. She crossed her legs and lowered her voice from the deliberately exaggerated and sharp tone: "Refusing to negotiate is just because the bargaining chips are not big enough and the words are not direct enough to the core. I'm sorry, Sister Ye, I stand on Xiaolin's side this time. Besides, you seem so concerned now, but you didn't come to Uncle Edelman's funeral."

That off-line, abstract posture suddenly turned into a strong "Queen".

"Well..." Luo Ye paused, "I haven't been in reality for the past two years."

"That's right, Sister Ye. You have to know the limits. From your 'rational' point of view, who are we to Xiaolin?" Hong Yijia stretched out her finger and tapped her temple.

"Friends..." Luo Ye subconsciously followed Hong Yijia's words.

"Is what you just said something that friends who haven't seen each other for two years should say?" Hong Yijia's lips curved slightly.

Luo Ye was silent for a moment: "You have matured a lot, Yijia, you used to be like a hamster in front of me."

"It's a sign of guilt to change the subject abruptly. And I prefer the description of rabbits, Sister Ye~." Hong Yijia suddenly returned to normal from her previous state.

"Heh." Luo Ye sneered, "Then I'll follow this rationality. Since we are just 'friends' and you rejected my safe proposal, then just give me the illusion in your hand."

"I am not here to negotiate with you as a friend, but as a 'Illusion Hunter'."

Hong Yijia frowned.

I knew it would develop like this. I really don't want to do it if I can. Although I know that Mr. Illusion of Lin Yilin can take advantage of Luo Ye, Hong Yijia is still not sure, after all, she didn't see the scene with her own eyes.

Luo Ye’s strength is too well-known to those who know him.

"Come on if you have the guts." Lin Yilin spoke slowly, but her words surprised Luo Ye and Hong Yijia. They didn't sound like something Lin Yilin would say, which was...

Luo Ye looked suddenly at the rearview mirror, and Hong Yijia also realized something and turned his head quickly.

"Lin Yilin" was shrouded in black. As the car drove into the shadow of the building, her face could not be seen for a moment. Only a pair of gray eyes were very conspicuous.

"I'm looking forward to our next fight, Illusion Hunter. If you can really catch me, I'll give you that classic Dabuou." "Lin Yilin" grinned.

"...Haha, hahahaha! So it's you, no wonder Xixi Keke would have such a level of hallucination! You are worthy of being Yilin, she should be attracted to hallucinations like you!" After a moment of surprise, Luo Ye burst into laughter.

"Hey, stop laughing and watch the road." "Lin Yilin" reminded silently.

In fact, Luo Ye seemed to be very happy with the laughter, but his hands were still steady while driving. He was an experienced driver.

Luo Ye also calmed down, but his tone was still a little excited: "What a coincidence, great! For the sake of the collection of Dabuou, I have to catch you, the powerful Mr. Illusion."

"Try if you can. I'll take good care of Dabuou before that. Feel free to be jealous."

"It's just my stuff. Be careful when you fight. If you can't do it, wait for me."

"Of course it's not your turn, and I have experts in model puzzles here."

"Haha, if I fail, I will kill your so-called expert too."

"You are so arrogant, you crazy red-haired woman."

The two men hurled harsh words back and forth with sinister smiles.

Hong Yijia, who was standing next to him, was already full of questions:
What are you talking about? Aren't you talking about Xiaolin?

Why is the car full of "Dabuou" now? !
