The facilities at Celestial Dragon Hotel were very comprehensive. After dinner, the four of them sat at a foot massage parlor for a while. Jiang Huaisi had to leave due to so urgent matters.
The remaining three, Lin Tian, Bai Shishi, and i Ruyan, did not return ho but instead booked a presidential suite to rest for the night.
Why only one room?
Lin Tian was the one who booked the room. He thought the presidential suite was large enough for the three of them, so there was no need to book more rooms.
"Just one room? How are we going to sleep?" i Ruyan asked in astonishnt.
"We'll sleep separately. The presidential suite has more than one room. It's a special period now, so it's best if we don't separate," Lin Tian explained.
Bai Shishi and i Ruyan exchanged a glance, not quite understanding what Lin Tian ant.
"What special period? Haven't all the company issues been resolved?"
"We're being watched. I have a very strong feeling!"
Lin Tian wasn't lying; this ti, he really felt the pressure. The elder was definitely nearby, having only appeared this evening.
Lin Tian couldn't understand what the elder was thinking, claiming to want to kill yet not taking action, keeping Lin Tian on constant alert. If Lin Tian weren't able to adjust his state, he would have likely suffered insomnia.
"Being watched here? This is my family's territory. Who would dare make a move here?" Bai Shishi looked around but found nothing suspicious.
"Trust !"
Seeing Lin Tian's serious deanor, the two won dared not take it lightly, especially since situations like this had happened quite a few tis before.
From yesterday to today, both won's spirits were tense. After having a bit of alcohol earlier, they relaxed and felt sleepy. They casually freshened up, changed into pajamas, and fell asleep with the room door wide open, having no defenses against Lin Tian.
Lin Tian washed up and then sat cross-legged on the sofa in the living room to start cultivating.
These past few days with Liou Qingcheng had been indulgent, and he hadn't even cultivated at night.
Calming his heart, Spiritual Qi flowed through his body in a Great Cycle. With all his seven ridians open, the speed was several tis faster than before.
Now, there was no need to use Spiritual Qi to impact the ridians; all that was needed was to form a Golden Core.
Thinking about the Golden Core... Lin Tian felt quite troubled.
There was already a Golden Core in his Sea of Qi, and its quality was very pure. If he wished, he could fuse the Golden Core anyti, entering the Golden Elixir Stage directly!
But the elder's example made him not dare to act rashly. So now Lin Tian was also very confused.
...
After a full night of sleep, Bai Shishi and i Ruyan were in surprisingly good spirits. They tidied up a bit and, after having breakfast, went straight back to Xianglong Building.
Many plans had been made yesterday, and today they had to be implented. For these company executives, the tasks were still heavy.
Today's weather was still very cold, but with air conditioning in the car, it wasn't an issue.
After more than half an hour, the car drove near Xianglong Building, needing just one more turn to arrive.
After making the turn, Lin Tian saw that several dozen journalist cars had gathered in front of Xianglong Building. Evidently, Qiansii's big moves yesterday had again piqued these journalists' sharp 'noses'.
"Hmph! These guys dare to co back? If they hadn't written nonsense yesterday, we wouldn't have been so frantic. I really want to run them over!" i Ruyan said viciously from the passenger seat.
Lin Tian chuckled bitterly, "If we run them over, we'll be in more trouble, won't we? But I don't like them either."
"I think we should call so people over from Heijin. These people blocking the company entrance, what does it look like?" i Ruyan said, still displeased.
"We can't. We just stated yesterday we welco the public and relevant departnts' supervision. If we chase them away now, won't it be a slap in our own face?" Bai Shishi said from the back seat.
i Ruyan massaged her temples and said, "Let them squat here if they like. I'd like to see who they can wait for. Lin Tian, park the car in the underground garage."
Lin Tian nodded and was about to make a turn when suddenly the car shook violently, and a dull 'bang' resounded.
Uh-oh!
Lin Tian quickly hit the brakes, bringing the car to a stop.
"What happened?"
Lin Tian looked at the person on the snowy ground ahead and said gloomily, "We hit soone."
"No way? In this snowy weather, those journalists are all cooped up in their cars. Who would be out here?"
"I don't know. It feels off. You guys stay in the car; I'll go check it out." With that, Lin Tian unbuckled his seatbelt and got out of the car.
"Let's go take a look too," Bai Shishi said, putting down the docunts in her hand and getting out of the car.
anwhile, the journalists' sharp 'noses' sensed sothing was up. They hurried over, microphones and caras in hand, quickening their pace.
Lin Tian walked to the front of the car and saw a young man in a sowhat worn gray down jacket lying in the snow, writhing and letting out a pained wail.
The wailing sounded like a dirge, with moaning and groaning. Lin Tian imdiately felt the guy was faking it.
This was easy to tell. If he were seriously injured, he wouldn't be howling so loudly with such strength. And he wouldn't keep twisting his body like that as it would more easily aggravate his injuries.
Before Lin Tian could speak, Bai Shishi ca over and asked, "Are you okay?"
The young man on the ground slightly turned his body, glanced at Bai Shishi, and continued his miserable cries.
"It's you!"
Seeing the young man's face, Bai Shishi and i Ruyan both exclaid in shock.
Wasn't this the sa young man from yesterday in front of the journalists, speaking ill of Qiansii?
This was just too much of a coincidence!
Lin Tian also thought it too coincidental, so he just observed coldly without saying anything for now.
Bai Shishi wanted to help the young man up but was unexpectedly pushed away, with him loudly yelling, "I don't need your phony concern! You hit on purpose, and now you dare ask?"
Bai Shishi paused for a mont but quickly realized. This guy was outright lying with his eyes open; he was preditated.
The car accident just now should also have been his deliberate act of getting hit!
"What do you want?" Lin Tian asked lightly from the side, having the sa thoughts as Bai Shishi.
It was laughable; with his far superior anticipation, how could he possibly hit soone on such a wide road? The car wasn't even going that fast, and moreover, the person hit was a 'familiar face.'
"What do I want? You hit soone; you should apologize! Compensate!" The young man shouted, wanting the whole world to hear.
By this ti, the journalists had already gathered around. It was likely they had already taken plenty of photos.
