The season had already entered autumn. Although the air was sowhat chilly, it couldn't diminish the aunties' passion for square dancing.
Lin Tian parked the car next to a flower bed in Qiushui Park. He checked the ti; it was already half-past eight, yet his phone hadn't rung.
Earlier, Bai Wuchang had said that he would contact him when the ti ca.
A long half-hour passed, and just when Lin Tian was growing impatient, the phone rang.
"Hello, you're being very sensible, not bringing anyone along, which is good. Also, it's already nine o'clock. We've passed the agreed ti by half an hour. I'm late, but it was intentional, hahaha..."
Facing the opponent's arrogant deanor, Lin Tian was helpless and could only ask, "Where are you now? Don't waste ti."
"You seem very anxious," Bai Wuchang asked with a faint smile.
Lin Tian frowned and clenched his teeth.
"It doesn't matter. The location for our trade isn't at Qiushui Park. You should head towards Chaoming Road and go to Chaoming Supermarket."
Lin Tian clenched his fist and asked in a low voice, "That isn't the trade location either, is it?"
"Hehe, smart. I just felt bored and wanted to make you go around in circles. The night view of Kanyue City is so beautiful; wouldn't it be nice for you to take a couple more glances? Maybe after tonight, you'll never see it again." Bai Wuchang laughed.
After speaking, the phone was hung up.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian really wanted to punch soone. Du Dahai, standing beside him, was a perfect target, but he held back.
This feeling of being toyed with was really suffocating. He was completely under the opponent's control. Cursing was futile; hitting them was out of reach.
Finally, Lin Tian sighed, stepped on the gas, and drove towards Chaoyang Supermarket.
Lin Tian knew the opponent's purpose and still felt uneasy about whether he brought extra people. If he did, it would have been exposed by now due to the long drive.
Chaoyang Road is a bustling area with a lot of people. When he arrived there, the phone rang once more.
"Now head to Yongxing Bridge. Rember, don't drive too fast. It's best not to attract the police's attention."
Bai Wuchang spoke concisely, then hung up the phone again.
Following the instructions, Lin Tian drove to Yongxing Bridge.
Lin Tian had never visited this place before, and had never even heard of it. After all, Kanyue City was so big, he hadn't been everywhere.
Eventually, he found it using the GPS in the car.
Following the GPS route, the car headed towards Yongxing Bridge. As they got closer, the traffic gradually decreased, and the road narrowed. In the end, there weren't even any street lamps by the road.
Soon, Lin Tian heard the sound of rushing water, which was very turbulent. Only then did he notice that this river was upstream of the power station reservoir.
Listening to the sound, it seed like the sluice was releasing water.
Suddenly, Lin Tian felt uneasy. He instinctively pressed the gas pedal harder, causing the van to surge forward.
Soon, the vehicle arrived at Yongxing Bridge.
Lin Tian first let Du Dahai get out of the car, and then he followed.
As soon as he got out, gusts of night wind blew over him. The sound of rushing water filled the air.
The so-called Yongxing Bridge turned out to be an old and abandoned stone bridge. It was built with huge stones, and it looked like it had been repaired later, with several more steel bars adding a suspension system to the entire stone bridge.
However, those steel bars now seed rusty, with history spanning at least several decades.
This bridge wasn't wide, only about twenty ters across. Although it was passable by cars, it had been closed off for vehicles for years. Because there's a new bridge near the power station reservoir, this bridge could only allow pedestrians now.
During the day, there might be so people, but at night, without streetlights, there were definitely fewer. Coupled with Bai Wuchang's style, this old bridge wouldn't have any outsiders tonight.
This must be the trade location.
Lin Tian activated his clairvoyant eyes and surveyed the surroundings.
The moon tonight was very round and bright. Even without the moon, Lin Tian could clearly see the surroundings at night.
On the other side of the old bridge, a group was gathered. They were too far for Lin Tian to see their faces clearly, but he could estimate there were about a dozen people.
Though the number wasn't large, in comparison to Lin Tian alone, it seed substantial.
Lin Tian stood behind Du Dahai, gave him a strong push, and impatiently said, "Get going."
At this point, Du Dahai's hands were bound, rendering him unable to resist. He groaned heavily and walked ahead.
Lin Tian followed closely, hiding himself well behind Du Dahai. If the opponent wanted to shoot, Du Dahai was the best shield.
Save myself without concern for others.
If Du Dahai fell, what if they continued shooting?
It didn't matter. Lin Tian was wearing a bulletproof vest, a shirt, and a windbreaker. Together, they were enough to block any bullet, including sniper bullets.
If they aid for the head... that would be left to luck.
Following Du Dahai's steps onto the old bridge, the sound of rushing water grew louder. The stone slabs on the bridge were loose, making a 'clack-clack' noise when stepped on, as if they could collapse at any mont.
Glancing down with clairvoyant vision, there lay the unfathomable river water beneath. Its surface had no protruding rocks, but as the upstream power station was releasing water, falling in now might an a fatal outco. Who could guarantee that there weren't hidden rocks at the bottom? Bumping your head could surely be bloody.
This place, both in timing and location, was extraordinarily dangerous.
A murder night under a bright full moon.
Kill soone here tonight, then tie the body with stones in a bag, and throw it into the river. That person would completely vanish from the world, wouldn't they?
At this mont, Bai Wuchang brought Liou Qingcheng and the remaining dozen individuals towards the center of the bridge.
The two sides were about thirty ters apart, allowing Lin Tian to see their faces.
Liou Qingcheng's hands were tied behind her. Her pretty face showed no signs of fatigue, looking fine with good complexion.
She was a smart woman, knowing that her top priority in a dangerous environnt was ensuring her safety. To guarantee safety, one must first be well-fed and rested.
Otherwise, appearing sickly would hinder any escape attempts.
Next to Liou Qingcheng stood two won, one with long hair and the other with short hair, the very two seen in the morning video.
At this mont, they were both dressed in tight black leather outfits, carrying a Sakula Country katana on their backs, and wearing a forehead protector.
Judging by their attire, they were certainly from Sakula Country.
