American comics: I am full of martial virtues and I love to be kind to others
Unquestionable determination
The short trip of a day is much easier than Lynn expected. The scenery on the island is beautiful, the sea water is clear and the sun shines on the beach, like a layer of golden brilliance. Kate seemed to be completely immersed in the atmosphere of the holidays, chatting with local tour guides from time to time, and taking a lot of photos. Lynn, on the other hand, always kept her usual low-key and calm, following her, like a silent guardian.
But even in such an environment, Lynn's mind still couldn't be completely calm. He would occasionally think of Lisa, her expression in the bar, and her request. He knew that if Kate learned the truth one day, he might be hit hard. And his current silence is just delaying the time when this truth is revealed.
"Lynn!" Kate's voice interrupted his thoughts.
Lynn came to his senses and saw Kate standing beside a rock, waving to him, "Come here quickly, the scenery here is amazing!"
Lynn walked over, stood beside her, and glanced across the sea in front of her. The waves hit the reefs, splashing countless tiny splashes, and the sunlight sprinkles on the water surface, reflecting dazzling light.
"It's very good." Lynn whispered.
Kate looked at his side face and raised a smile on his lips, "You know? I think you are actually a good place like this. Quiet, peaceful, away from those dangerous tasks and complex cases."
Lynn didn't answer, just nodded slightly.
Kate sighed and his eyes turned to the sea again, "I really hope every day can be as simple as today. There are no complex relationships, no problems that cannot be solved. It's just the sunshine, the sea, and... friends."
Her voice fell down, but her tone was extremely sincere.
Lynn turned his eyes to her, and after a moment of silence, whispered, "Simple is not easy to get."
Kate smiled softly, "Yeah, but that's why we should cherish it more, right?"
Lynn did not answer, but looked into her eyes. There was no hidden emotion in those eyes, only a kind of candid purity. At this moment, he suddenly felt that his choice might be right.
Concealing Lisa's affairs at least allows Kate to have more such "simple time". As for what happened later, he will try his best to find a better solution.
"Kate," Lynn whispered, with an unusually tenderness in his tone, "Some things are simpler, the better."
Kate turned to look at him, not seeming to fully understand what he meant, but nodded, "I think you're right, Lynn. Some things don't need to be too complicated."
The two stood on the reef, their eyes turning to the sea together. The sun shines warmly on them, and the sea breeze blows gently, as if it has temporarily blown away all the complex emotions.
The hotel at night is still immersed in the lazy atmosphere of Hawaii, with lights softly sprinkling in the corridors and halls, revealing a relaxing warmth. Kate and Lynn walked into the hotel lobby one after another and ended a day's short trip to the island. Kate had a smile on his face, and from time to time he hummed songs of unknown tune, which could be seen that she was in a good mood.
"I have to go back to my room to take a shower first, and then come down to chat with Lisa." Kate glanced at Lynn, with a relaxed tone, "Today's trip is really great, Lynn. Thank goodness, you finally didn't look tight. Strong."
Lynn just nodded, still with the calm he used to be on his face. He was instinctively alert, but didn't say much. He knew Kate was in a good mood and he didn't want to destroy this rare relaxation.
Kate turned around with the room card, while Lynn stopped in the lobby for a while, ordered a cup of coffee, and sat quietly in the corner, but his eyes swept towards the elevator from time to time. He was still thinking about Lisa's affairs, and those unrelieved questions were overwhelming like shadows.
About twenty minutes later, a faint voice of conversation came from Kate's room, but soon the sounds became sharp, mixed with a hint of tension and anxiety. Lynn's intuition told him that something was wrong, so he quickly got up, walked to the elevator a few steps, and pressed the floor button. The moment the elevator door closed, his hand was quietly pressing on the gun holster at his waist.
When Lynn walked to Kate's door, he heard the conversation inside the room.
"Lisa! What the hell is going on?" Kate's voice was anxious and angry, "How did these scars come from your arms, legs...? Don't tell me it was just an accident!"
Lynn frowned slightly, he knew what Kate had discovered. The air inside the room seemed to be stagnant because of the conversation, and he stood outside the door and listened quietly.
"Kate, stop asking!" There was a clear panic in Lisa's voice. She tried to hide her emotions, but the more she did, the more she seemed powerless. "I'm fine, these... are just small accidents, nothing big."
"Accident? Do you think I'll believe this kind of nonsense?" Kate raised his voice, with an unignorable determination in his tone, "Lisa, I'm your friend, I know you're hiding something. Me. If you don't tell me the truth, I won't let you go!"
There was a silence in the room, and then a sound of a chair dragging came, as if Lisa had sat down. Her voice became low and exhausted, "Kate, I really don't want you to get in. This is my business, I will solve it myself."
Kate's voice was still firm, but there was a hint of sob, "Your matter? Lisa, you are covered in wounds and your face is as pale as a ghost. Tell me you can solve it? Don't lie to me! You are ruining it Own!"
Hearing this, Lynn felt it was necessary to intervene. He pushed open the door and Kate turned around suddenly. She was stunned when she saw Lynn, but soon turned her gaze back to Lisa, "Lynn, you're here just right. Ask her for me, this what is going on."
Lisa looked up at Lin Neng, and a complicated expression flashed across her face, some ashamed and some panic. She bit her lip, with a little resistance in her tone, "Linn...you know, right? Don't let Kate know, please."
Kate's eyes moved back and forth between the two, and she quickly noticed something, and her tone suddenly became even more nervous, "Linn! What do you know? She just said you know?"
Lynn stood at the door, silent for a moment, then walked into the room, his eyes falling calmly on Lisa. His tone was low and powerful, without any extra emotion, "Lisa, if you keep hiding it, it will only make things worse. Tell Kate now or you will lose her trust."
Lisa's eyes turned red in an instant. She lowered her head and grabbed the corners of her clothes with both hands, as if trying to control her emotions. But in the end, she sighed a long sigh, her voice so low that she could hardly hear it, "Kate, I...I owe some people money, a lot of money. Those people are not ordinary debt collectors, they... …They are dangerous.”
Kate's eyes widened, and the anger on his face was instantly replaced by shock, "I owe debt? Why do you owe debt? Lisa, you never mentioned these to me!"
"Because I don't want to worry you!" Lisa raised her head, her voice trembling a little, "I know you will do this, Kate, I don't want you to get involved. Those people... They are gangsters, gangsters. If I If they can't pay back the money, they will come to me. They have looked for me many times... These injuries are their 'reminder'."
Kate's face turned pale in an instant. She walked to Lisa step by step and tried to grab her hand, but Lisa subconsciously shrank, as if she didn't dare to face her gaze.
"Why don't you tell me?" Kate whispered, a hint of depression in his tone. "Lisa, you are my best friend. Do you think I'll stand by and watch this kind of thing?"
"It is because you are my best friend that I don't want you to know!" Lisa's tears finally fell, and her voice choked, "Kate, your life is so good, you are a reporter, you have your own goals. And dreams. And I… My life is a mess. I don’t want to drag you down.”
Kate's eyes turned red, and she reached out to hug Lisa, her tone as firm as a stone, "Lisa, no matter what you think, I will not let you face these things alone. We will solve it, no matter how much you think. Who are those people, they can't do this to you."
Lisa shivered gently in Kate's arms, but said nothing.
Lynn stood aside, his eyes still calm, but there was a hint of complex emotions in his eyes. He knew Kate's personality and she couldn't let it go, but this was far more dangerous than she thought. If Lisa's debt is really related to gangsters, things will never be simple.
"Kate." Lynn's voice broke the silence in the room. He walked up to the two of them and glanced between Kate and Lisa. "This matter cannot be solved by you two. If you try to go straight and Those people contact will only make things worse.”
Kate looked up at him with a hint of request in his eyes, "What should I do, Lynn? We can't do nothing, right?"
Lynn pondered for a moment, then nodded, "I'll handle this. But Kate, you have to listen to me. I need all the details-How much does Lisa owe, whom she owe, and the background of the other person .”
Lisa lowered her head, hesitated for a while, and finally whispered, "They are a local underground organization called 'Kavana Group'. I owe them 25,000 dollars... because..." She bites her "It was because of a failed investment in the previous game. I thought I could turn the tables, but in the end I fell deeper and deeper."
Lynn's eyes sank, he knew that this was much more complicated than it seemed. But at this moment, his goal was only one - to protect Kate and Lisa from being swallowed by these dangers.
"I'll find out." Lynn's tone was as calm as a rock, "But from now on, Kate, you have to listen to my arrangements. You can't act rashly, do you understand?"
Kate looked at him and nodded, but her eyes remained firm, "I will listen to you, Lynn, but I will not let Lisa face this alone anyway."
Lynn said nothing more, he just nodded before turning around and leaving the room.
The night is deep, and the streets of Hawaii are still filled with the strong fragrance of wine and laughter. The lights on the bar street are bright, and the colorful neon signs are like jumping notes, sprinkling on the moist ground. There are different stories behind each door, some people raise their glasses to celebrate, and some people bow their heads alone to relieve their sorrows. Kate and Lynn walked side by side on the street, but the atmosphere was out of place with the hustle and bustle around.
Kate's expression was cold, and his eyes were filled with some unshakable determination. Lynn still maintained his usual calmness, but his pace was a little heavy. He knew that the action tonight would not be easy.
"Linn, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Kate's voice suddenly broke the silence. She didn't stop, staring at the front, but her tone was filled with a hint of complaint.
Lynn glanced at her with a plain tone, but with a rationality that cannot be ignored, "Because she doesn't want you to know. Lisa has asked me, she doesn't want you to get involved."
"But I am her best friend!" Kate's voice rose slightly, his steps paused, turned to look at Lynn, his tone with a certain pain, "She thinks she can solve these things alone, but she It can't be done at all. If it weren't for you telling me, how long would she continue to hide it from me?"
"That's why I told you." Lynn's eyes were as sharp as a hawk, falling on Kate's face, with a low tone but convincing tone, "But Kate, you must understand that your intervention is likely to make things happen More complicated. You are too emotional, and this kind of thing needs calmness."
Kate's lips were pursed into a straight line, obviously suppressing his emotions. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her mood, and then said in a slight tone, "Okay, maybe you're right. But no matter what, I can't watch her suffer. She is my friend, and I have the responsibility to help her."
Lynn didn't say anything else, just nodded. He knew Kate's personality and could not persuade her to give up. And he also understood that the dangers behind this matter were far beyond Kate's imagination.
They soon arrived at the target bar. This is an inconspicuous place, and it looks a bit shabby on the outside, but the neon lights at the door are still bright, and you can vaguely hear the music coming from inside and the noise of the crowd. Kate stood at the door, took a deep breath, and turned to look at Lynn.
"Let's go in," she whispered, her tone exuded an unquestionable firmness.
Lynn nodded and pushed open the bar door.
The bar was filled with smoke and dim lights, and the air was filled with the smell of cheap alcohol and noisy laughter. Lynn's eyes swept quickly around, remembering every exit and suspicious person. His intuition told him that the place was not as simple as it seemed.
Kate saw the boss standing behind the bar at a glance. It was a middle-aged man wearing a wrinkled shirt with a shrewd and impatient expression on his face. He was wiping a glass with his head down, looking up at the customers from time to time, as if he was on guard against everyone.
Kate walked straight to the bar, speaking coldly, "We need to talk to you."
