Lin Tian didn’t quite believe the sniper’s story about the anti-terrorist drill, because Captain Liu’s expression was also very surprised. An anti-terrorist drill that even the police didn’t know about seed very unlikely.
Moreover, the sniper had even declared the Night Rose Bar a temporary restricted area. That was even more implausible; a bar simply didn’t have the qualities to serve as a restricted area.
However, the sniper did not explain much, only saying that soone was looking for him. Not long after he had finished speaking, while Lin Tian was still pondering the aning of his words, three people walked in from outside.
The bar was really bustling today, waves of people coming one after another, making it a hundred tis more lively and exciting than a normal evening.
Lin Tian was speechless, and turning his head to look, he was even more lost for words—hmm, and quite surprised, because the visitors were those he hadn’t expected.
The middle one of the three was a middle-aged man, dressed in camouflage military attire but without a tactical vest or helt. His face bore the marks of being weather-beaten, but his features were sharply defined, surely a handso man in his youth.
Of course, his current appearance was even more charming. A handso man weathered by ti and the elents had a maturity and steadiness that young people could not match.
His eyebrows were thick and long, the so-called sword brows, with vertical lines above the brow likely from frequently furrowing them in thought. His eyes were piercing, and he walked with a proud, assertive stride, exuding a strong presence.
Of course, Lin Tian did not recognize him, though he looked very formidable. The two people following him were the real surprises: on his left was Miss Xiao, and on his right, another beauty in camouflage, with a stunning figure, none other than the spirited Ning Luoxi.
It had been a long ti since he had seen Ning Luoxi, and her appearance now was not what Lin Tian ever expected.
However, when friends et, one must greet them warmly. Lin Tian walked towards Ning Luoxi with a laugh and said, "Haha, Miss Ning, long ti no see. I’ve missed you a lot."
As he spoke, he opened his arms, attempting to give Ning Luoxi a warm hug. The surrounding warriors watched this scene stunned, especially the cool sniper, who had already turned his face away, unable to watch, as if in the next second, this young man would be sent flying and crash disastrously.
But what stunned them even more was that Ning Luoxi actually stepped back to dodge the young man’s hug, surprisingly not sending him flying.
They couldn’t believe their eyes; they knew all too well Ning Luoxi’s fiery temper—she was like a thorny rose in the military, harshly schooling anyone who ca close.
At that mont, Ning Luoxi stepped back, her eyebrows slightly furrowed. This action made the warriors even more surprised, as Ning Luoxi was usually indifferent to any man who approached her, never showing such expressive reactions.
Indeed, a frown at a man was already considered a very expressive reaction in their eyes.
The middle-aged man walking in front was even more surprised as his eyes darted back and forth between Lin Tian and Ning Luoxi, as if trying to uncover so secret.
Unfortunately, he couldn’t figure anything out, since Lin Tian made no further moves.
"Miss Luoxi, did you bring these cool guys?" Lin Tian only knew her, so naturally, he asked her.
However, Ning Luoxi didn’t answer him; instead, the middle-aged man said, "Young man, these are my n. Did we disturb you?"
Damn, fully ard entry into a bar, how could it not be disturbing? Lin Tian curled his lips, dissatisfied, "General, my bar has already been declared a drill restricted area. This ans I can’t do business. Doesn’t that count as disturbing?"
"First, let get this fact out of the way; otherwise, you all might spend days or even weeks here and then just walk away without any responsibility. That would be a huge loss for . No matter who you are in command, you have to provide an explanation," Lin Tian thought to himself.
"Lin Tian, don’t be rude," Xiao Manxue warned, seemingly worried that Lin Tian would offend the middle-aged man.
"Hehe, Miss Xiao, it’s okay. I actually quite admire Brother Lin’s courage to speak his mind," the middle-aged man said with a laugh, his eyes showing appreciation as he looked at Lin Tian.
Shouldn’t speak my mind? Is this middle-aged man an Ancient Martial Artist with great skills, or does he hold a high position? And he knows ? Lin Tian was puzzled because when they had entered, even Ning Luoxi, the formidable Ancient Martial Artist, had to follow behind. However, the middle-aged man didn’t wear any rank insignia on his shoulders, so his position was indiscernible.
Moreover, the twelve mbers of the small squad, including the sniper, looked at the middle-aged man with respect, a respect that ca from the heart.
"Oh, there’s sothing about a drill restriction zone?" The middle-aged man was startled, clearly unaware. He turned to look at the sniper and asked, "Thunder Wolf, what’s going on?"
So the cool sniper was nad Thunder Wolf, though Lin Tian wasn’t sure if that was his real na or a nickna. Seeing him use a high-precision sniper rifle, Lin Tian guessed he might be from the counter-terrorism special police team, where operatives often used nicknas.
Thunder Wolf imdiately stood up straight, tightening his grip on the sniper rifle he held across his chest, and replied loudly, "Reporting, the situation was quite chaotic at the ti; to avoid unrelated disturbances, I made up a reason and asked them to leave."
Damn, Thunder Wolf’s skin is even thicker than mine. Was his serious deanor just now really just asking politely? Lin Tian imdiately felt a sense of kinship with the young sniper; they both had thick skins.
"Thunder Wolf, don’t spout nonsense. I know you well enough. ’Asking politely’? It’s already good enough that you didn’t hit soone," the middle-aged man glared and said loudly.
But Thunder Wolf, probably used to being criticized, had thick skin. He laughed and said, "You still have sharp eyes, seeing right through ."
So the restricted drill area wasn’t real after all. Lin Tian finally understood; it made sense - a bar, no matter how famous, couldn’t possibly be related to a drill restriction zone.
"So, is the counter-terrorism drill also fake?" Lin Tian couldn’t help but ask.
"Brother Lin, the counter-terrorism drill is not fake. But let’s not talk about that for now. I ca here specifically to find you and Miss Xiao," the middle-aged man unexpectedly said.
To find and Miss Xiao? Lin Tian was surprised for a mont, then suddenly rembered what Miss had said the day before, about soone visiting from Jinghua City. Could it be this middle-aged man? But the scale of his arrival seed too grand, Lin Tian thought, taking another good look at the middle-aged man.
"Lin Tian, this is the guest from Jinghua City I ntioned to you, Ning Weiguo, here to discuss a potential cooperation as a representative," Miss finally found the chance to introduce him formally.
Miss didn’t specify his position, but Lin Tian guessed from his age that he could be at least a Major General, perhaps even a real General.
And considering the way he commanded the troops, he wasn’t so non-combat general from a performing arts brigade, but a real battle-hardened General.
"General also nad Ning, so Ning Luoxi is..." Lin Tian hesitantly addressed him respectfully, then suddenly realized sothing and turned to look at Ning Luoxi, asking in surprise.
"He’s my dad, you got a problem with that!" Ning Luoxi looked at Lin Tian and said.
