Who will be the enemies of the future? The Blood Clan or the Japanese? Lin Tian didn’t know why the Xiao Family had beco entangled with these bizarre forces, and as for himself, he seed to have gradually been drawn into the vortex.
Maybe it was a battle over wealth, or maybe it was a show of force; who knows?
"Miss, there’s no need to worry, right? We’re just ordinary people from Huaxia; those strange things will be dealt with by powerful forces," Lin Tian said indifferently, his tone unreadable.
"Who knows, maybe we’ll be dead without a place to bury us from just the aftermath. Only getting stronger ourselves is the safest guarantee," Xiao Manxue said somberly.
This Miss really lacked a sense of security, but of course, as the mainstay of the Xiao Family, she had to think about potential dangers. Besides, the Xiao Family wasn’t in a peaceful situation at the mont. Lin Tian didn’t say much more and carried her back to the Xiao Mansion.
He carried the Miss directly back to her bedroom, set her down on the sofa, then went into her bathroom.
"What are you doing in my bathroom? Get out!" Before Lin Tian could push the bathroom door open, Xiao Manxue shouted indignantly.
"I’m saying, Miss, it’s just a bathroom for goodness’ sake, what’s there to fuss about? If I don’t run the water for you, can you manage on your own?" Lin Tian said nonchalantly. "You’re not bathing now; can’t I even enter? What kind of logic is that?"
Lin Tian finished speaking and pushed the door open. The bathroom was filled with a faint fragrance, and next to the bathtub, there lay a set of black lingerie, presumably taken off and not yet washed.
No wonder the Miss didn’t want him to enter the bathroom; it turned out her private garnts hadn’t been tidied. Lin Tian picked them up with two fingers and placed them on a side platform; they felt pretty good to the touch, and judging by the branded logo, they seed to be from Zi Yan’s City Beauty Store.
After running the bath and adjusting the water temperature, Lin Tian went back out and picked up the Miss. She didn’t have the strength to resist and could only let Lin Tian handle her. He set the Miss down by the tub and then exited the bathroom without saying a word.
"Lin Tian, thank you, you... you know what I’m talking about," Xiao Manxue suddenly said softly.
"I didn’t take advantage of you, did I? Don’t think of as a good guy; I just find it too boring to make a move on soone who has no ability to fight back," Lin Tian said shalessly, his back turned to her. "Don’t you think, for that kind of thing, having a more intense back and forth is better?"
After speaking, Lin Tian quickly closed the door and bolted. The Miss was left fuming, her face flushed with anger, she shouted, "Pervert!"
In a fit of rage, she grabbed sothing from the platform to throw it at him, but then saw it was her own intimate clothing. She rembered placing it on the edge of the bathtub, so how did it end up on the platform next to the tub?
Finally, the Miss ca to her senses; Lin Tian had moved them. She bit her lip in anger and cursed, "Scoundrel Lin Tian, pervert Lin Tian..."
anwhile, the "pervert" Lin Tian had already returned to his bedroom on the second floor. Although he wasn’t exhausted like the Miss, his clothes were torn to shreds.
Damn it, all those martial arts dramas are lying; when the protagonist and the villains clash with such ferocious inner strength, stones and trees shatter, but their clothes remain intact. The directors are too darn ridiculous; every ti I fight, my clothes get torn to shreds," Lin Tian complained as he tore off his ragged clothes, filled with silent grievances.
He stripped down completely and went to bathe, practicing his Inner Strength, and then slept through the night.
The next day, Lin Tian went to school as usual. The Miss had said there would be visitors from Jinghua City today, but he had been in class half the day and still hadn’t received any notice from the Miss.
Until noon, while the people from the Imperial Capital didn’t show up, Lin Tian received so very bad news.
Lu Jia called to say that a joint inspection by the relevant departnts was taking place. They were currently conducting a surprise inspection at the Night Rose Bar.
This had never happened before. Lin Tian had worked at the bar for so long and had yet to see any departnt carry out a surprise inspection. Now that he had just taken over, there was suddenly an inspection.
The Night Rose Bar was constructed in accordance with the relevant regulations, and its fire safety equipnt fully t the requirents. Lin Tian wasn’t worried they would find any issues.
However, the phone call didn’t provide clear details, so he thought it best to go there in person. Xiao Manxuan didn’t have ti to be sent back ho and went along with him.
When they arrived at the bar, Lin Tian saw that several cars had already parked outside, representing various departnts. It was quite the scene. Lu Jia was looking around at the entrance, waiting for Lin Tian.
After parking the car, Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan walked toward Lu Jia, who seed a bit uneasy. Lin Tian asked, "What’s the specific situation?"
"Boss, these people were brought here by the Bai family’s second young master. They’re claiming that Bai Yufeng reported our bar for using child labor!" Lu Jia said hurriedly.
Child labor? Lin Tian and Xiao Manxuan were stunned. Where would there be child labor? And it was the Bai Family making the accusation. Damn it, that was ssed up. Oh, that’s right. Yesterday I openly fell out with Bai Yuze. Now he’s not holding back, ready to retaliate.
No matter how bad the disagreents were in the past, they had always been private. This ti it was making headlines, bringing the dispute out in the open. Given the Bai family’s way of doing things, they were certain to respond in kind.
Lin Tian suddenly rembered, Su Qingqing’s brother, Su Wenshan, happened to work at the Night Rose Bar, and the kid had said he was only a few days away from turning sixteen.
Fortunately, Su Wenshan had just turned sixteen yesterday. Lin Tian had previously instructed Lu Jia to handle the paperwork in ti to avoid scrutiny.
"Boss, don’t worry, all the docuntation is complete," added Lu Jia.
Lin Tian nodded and led the way into the bar. The bar was not yet open for business, so the first-floor hall had no custors. At the mont though, four people were sitting on a sofa in the hall, while an on-duty waiter was serving them tea.
At another table sat several people in uniforms, looking serious. This was the so-called joint surprise inspection by multiple departnts. Lin Tian breathed a sigh of relief, as the scene looked quite orderly and serious, as long as they didn’t act arbitrarily.
Among the four on the sofa, Bai Yufeng was the most conspicuous, and Lin Tian noticed him imdiately. Bai Yuze was not present, surely he had his brother co here on purpose to lodge the complaint, as Bai Yufeng probably didn’t even understand what child labor ant.
Besides, Lin Tian felt he recognized the man in uniform from sowhere. But before he could ponder this, he had already approached the sofa.
As soon as Lin Tian entered, Bai Yufeng had been watching him. When he ca over, Bai Yufeng said to the three inspectors, "Ladies and gentlen in charge, this is the owner of the bar, Lin Tian. I noticed two days ago that this bar was using child labor. I recognize the person because he’s a student at our school! I think such a bar that flouts the law should be closed down!"
Bai Yufeng’s words were not heated, but his ssage was ruthless and harsh.
With that said, the other three people finally looked up at Lin Tian, with two of them wearing serious expressions that didn’t seem very friendly.
However, the man in the police uniform had a strange expression. He looked at Lin Tian for a while before suddenly saying, "It’s you, Comrade Lin Tian. I thought I recognized the wrong person!"
