To Turn a Blind Eye

In the guest room of Blue Starfish Mansion, Tang Xiu and Duanmu Lin continued their talk, and there were only two of them inside now.

"Tang Xiu, I trust you won't do anything harmful to our country, but I still need such commitment from you today." Duanmu Lin wore such a solemn face that he didn't even lit the cigarette in his fingers Tang Xiu just gave him.

"I see. Then I'm giving that commitment today," replied Tang Xiu. "As long as you, Duanmu Lin, are still alive, I'll never do anything harmful to China. And I'll absolutely lend the country a hand should it face trouble, so long as you're still alive."

Duanmu Lin squinted his eyes in response before he nodded without a word. His eyes kept flickering and then he said, "Tang Xiu, I get that your commitment is based on the premise that I'm still alive. You're also well aware of my identity as well as my abilities. But I can only live at most a few decades more."
