"Hehe, back then she was a student, and I was just a security guard, a bartender, we only saw each other once a week, sotis not even once in half a month. Now that I think about it, Qi Jing must have started falling for soone else not long after I dropped out of school; I just didn’t notice because I was too busy working from dawn till dusk." Lin Tian spoke indifferently, not avoiding anything.
"But now it’s quite good, at least you got to see soone for who they are," Xiao Manxuan blinked and said.
"Hey, you little girl, you can even speak big truths now." Lin Tian chuckled and suddenly reached out, flicked the little girl’s upturned nose, hmm, nice touch, smooth.
Then Lin Tian turned to look at Zhang Lingyu, wanting to repeat the gesture, but seeing how wary she looked, he just turned around and headed back to the classroom, with Xiao Manxuan’s coquettish complaint trailing behind him.
"Lin Tian, you’re such a big bad guy!"
I’m a bad guy, so who am I afraid of? Anyway, I haven’t been a good guy for many years, Lin Tian laughed, not minding her unimpressive attempts at na-calling.
In this sunny afternoon, tornting an enemy, flirting a bit with a beautiful school belle, Lin Tian felt his life couldn’t be more beautiful, it’s just too bad Zhang Lingyu was too formidable, he didn’t get to take action. How did he miss the opportunity to conquer her when she got hurt in the past, what a failure at being a man he was.
After the last class, Lin Tian walked out of the school gate with the two school belles, ready to head back, but soone suddenly ran out from a corner and blocked their way.
Damn, which bastard had the audacity to block my way, Lin Tian grumbled inwardly, without even looking, he reached out to push the person blocking him aside.
"Lin Tian, stop." Xiao Manxuan suddenly shouted.
Lin Tian didn’t understand her intention but still stopped, and finally noticed the person in front of him, it was a young girl, who looked about the sa age as Xiao Manxuan.
The young girl had her long hair tied up and several strands beside her ears, her cheeks were pale pink and tender, her big eyes seed to carry a hint of surprise, she was dressed in a white tracksuit, the whole person looked youthful and vibrant.
He calmly withdrew his hand and took another look at the girl’s face, it seed familiar.
"You are Zuo... Xing’er?" Lin Tian exclaid in surprise.
He suddenly rembered the girl he had seen at the Taekwondo club, the girl who gave up her lipstick for an autograph. Lin Tian didn’t give her his phone number, just told her to co to Xikou City High School if she needed anything, he didn’t expect her to really co looking for him.
"Ah, Brother Lin, you still rember , I am Zuo Xing’er." The young girl’s face showed a joyful smile and she spoke excitedly.
However, soon after, the smile on Zuo Xing’er’s face disappeared, replaced by a worried expression.
"Miss Xing’er, what’s wrong?" Xiao Manxuan went up to hold her hand, asking with concern.
Lin Tian also felt it was strange, she was so happy just a mont ago, how did it suddenly change?
"Brother Lin, you have to help , you’re the only person I can think of now," Zuo Xing’er looked like she was about to cry, speaking anxiously.
"Don’t panic, tell what’s happening first," Lin Tian patted her shoulder, asking her to calm down.
Zuo Xing’er composed herself before saying, "Brother Lin, do you rember Haolong Taekwondo Club? That leisure center is our family’s property, Cui Haolong is also renting from us."
"But because of what happened last ti, almost all the students have dropped out, and I heard that Cui Haolong compensated soone a large sum of money after offending them, leaving the club facing closure. My uncle approached him to ask if he still had the funds to continue running it, or else he would have to take back the club."
Isn’t the person he offended ? Lin Tian was stunned for a mont, surprised by the coincidence, and he hadn’t realized that the recreation center was owned by this Zuo Xing’er family.
Lin Tian had already anticipated the closure of the Taekwondo club. He had wrecked the club during the challenge, and once word got out, surely no one would want to study there anymore. It made sense for Zuo Xing’er’s family to want to take back the club too. With such a pri location, keeping it vacant was a loss in itself, and the Zuo Family would definitely prefer to lease it out.
Zuo Xing’er paused before continuing, "But Cui Haolong and his people are unwilling to leave. My uncle has tried negotiating with them a few tis to no avail, and finally, he decided to take legal action. Who knew that my uncle would be assaulted yesterday, and he’s still in a coma at the hospital."
"Damn, it must be that Cui Haolong! Coming to our Huaxia to make a living and then walking all over us, thinking we’re easy to bully. I was too fucking rciful last ti!" Lin Tian swore angrily.
"I don’t know who did it, but there was a note left on my uncle, saying that if we dare call the police, they would... they would do that to too..., this is the note they left behind." Zuo Xing’er trembled slightly, speaking softly.
Lin Tian took the crumpled white paper and saw a few lines of crooked writing, full of threats, and indeed, they were using Zuo Xing’er as leverage.
Fuck, Lin Tian gripped the paper tightly, crushing it into dust, and a peculiar blue light flashed in his eyes.
He suppressed his anger and asked, "Where are your parents, how co it’s only you in your family?"
"They have gone abroad. I didn’t dare to tell them, fearing they would suffer the sa harm as my uncle if they ca back," replied Zuo Xing’er, her head bowed, speaking softly.
This little girl is too naive. Do you think backing down will solve the problem? Lin Tian shook his head, but didn’t say anything. He just took out his cell phone and dialed Rossi’s number.
"Brother Tian, what do you need?" Rossi’s voice always contained a tone of indifference mixed with respect.
"Find Cui Haolong’s whereabouts imdiately, I want to know where he is before midnight!" Lin Tian spoke in a low, firm tone.
"Alright, I’ll get right on it." Rossi didn’t ask for any reasons, he just carried out Lin Tian’s orders.
After hanging up, Lin Tian turned to Zuo Xing’er and said, "Which hospital is your uncle at? I’ll accompany you there first, maybe I can be of so help."
"Brother Lin, you know dical skills too?" With Lin Tian taking charge, Zuo Xing’er felt much more at ease and asked curiously.
"I know a little bit. Let’s go and have a look," Lin Tian replied, not boasting too much. He did know the Nine Needle Technique, but he had to see the patient before he could know what to do.
He turned to Zhang Lingyu and asked, "Zhang Lingyu, I can’t go back now because I have sothing to deal with. Do you want to co with us or go back on your own?"
"Of course, I’m coming with you. You can actually practice dicine? I had no idea, so I definitely want to see this," said Zhang Lingyu, her face full of disbelief, laughing.
She truly didn’t believe that Lin Tian knew any dical skills. It was already amazing that he had learned Ancient Martial at such a young age. If his dical skills were also exceptional, wouldn’t he be a genius?
dical practice allows no fakery; it’s a job that contends with the Grim Reaper for lives. Without real skill, one would be exposed the mont they began.
Lin Tian noticed Zhang Lingyu’s skepticism but didn’t argue, simply going to fetch his car, and then, under Zuo Xing’er’s direction, they headed to the hospital.
