After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian’s face was frighteningly somber, like a dark cloud suddenly appearing in the summer sky.
"What happened?" Miaoqiu asked with concern, seeing Lin Tian’s expression, which made one’s heart skip a beat.
"I need to go out." Lin Tian said.
"Huh?" Miaoqiu grabbed Lin Tian’s wrist, and said worriedly, "Someone is watching you now, what can be so urgent that you have to go out?"
"Is it any safer to stay here all the time?" Lin Tian retorted.
Indeed, it’s not safe here either; the villa is just a grandly decorated big house without any protective barrier, unable to stop a Golden Core master or that strange old man Kun Yun.
"Then I’ll go with you." Miaoqiu said resolutely, having the demeanor of a devoted partner ready to face life and death together.
"But you have to let me know what’s going on."
"Wang Sicong has his eyes on Pandie; if we delay, it could be too late." Lin Tian said anxiously.
A shadow passed through Miaoqiu’s eyes. Any woman, no matter how generous, wouldn’t want to see her man preoccupied with another woman in his heart! Even if he already has many confidantes, it’s the same.
Lin Tian also noticed Miaoqiu’s emotional fluctuation, sighed softly in his heart, and then gently stroked Miaoqiu’s pretty face, saying, "I’m just friends with her. If a friend is in trouble, could I not go?"
"Really?"
"Silly girl, why would I lie to you?"
The displeasure on Miaoqiu’s face cleared away, she pulled Lin Tian to stand up and said, "Then let’s go quickly."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Xu Xianrong, who was sitting on the sofa engrossed in reading an ancient martial arts book, closed the book and grabbed the Thousand Cyan Threads, saying, "Didn’t I tell you to notify me when you go out? How long has it been, and you forgot already? You’re ignoring your elder!"
This big accusation made Lin Tian laugh, "I was just about to tell you."
"Do you really take me as your bodyguard? Summoned at will and dismissed at convenience?"
Xu Xianrong was very displeased with Lin Tian’s attitude, as if she was just an escort casually brought along. There’s a big gap between an escort and an elder!
"Auntie, how would I dare? It’s just that this happened suddenly." Lin Tian explained.
"Hmph!"
"Auntie, Lin Tian said it happened suddenly." Miaoqiu couldn’t help but repeat.
"Alright, alright, I didn’t say anything. Isn’t it urgent? Then why aren’t you leaving yet?"
...
In the villa’s garage was still the blue Porsche Lin Tian bought earlier, which hadn’t been driven for a while and came in handy now.
He started the car and drove it out of the yard, heading straight for the main road.
Meanwhile, all around the villa, rustling sounds could be heard as more than a dozen people poked their heads out from inconspicuous places.
Lin Tian couldn’t bother with them at this moment, stepping on the gas and speeding towards the party.
Their current location was still some distance from the hotel, and by the time LuuYong called, the party had already started for a while. If Jiang Pan Die’s drug effect kicks in, it wouldn’t wait until the party ends.
Time waits for no one.
But just when Lin Tian’s car was about to reach the hotel, his phone received another location, sent by LuuYong—the location has changed!
Lin Tian frowned immediately, feeling a bad premonition.
The gathering party was supposed to be held in the hotel; renting a room would suffice, so why change the location?
Lin Tian originally wanted to call LuuYong for details but eventually gave up; LuuYong only sent a location, indicating he couldn’t talk conveniently.
Turning the steering wheel, Lin Tian made a U-turn at the intersection...
...
Jiang Pan Die was asleep—or precisely, she was in a half-dream, half-awake state, leaning in Tong’s arms, muttering something. However, it was too vague to be heard clearly.
Tong couldn’t understand what she was saying, but Wang Sicong could—it was Lin Tian’s name she was mumbling.
At this moment, the drug effect in Jiang Pan Die’s body had begun to take effect, though just at the beginning, so it wasn’t strong and resulted in some nonsensical talk. Once the full effect kicked in, it would be truly stimulating.
"This slut, in heat and still muttering Lin Tian’s name!" Wang Sicong cursed, but with a smile on his face. The thought of soon bedding Lin Tian’s woman exceedingly pleased him.
At this moment, the driver at the front suddenly said, "Mr. Wang, there’s a blue Porsche following us, and it’s been quite a while."
Wang Sicong glanced through the back window, "Huh, what a showy license plate, Yan A66666."
"Drive to the location I told you earlier, don’t mind the car behind, don’t drive too fast—if that trash behind can’t keep up, it won’t be fun." Wang Sicong laughed playfully.
"Got it!" The driver replied, easing off the gas a little.
Wang Sicong looked at LuuYong sitting in the passenger seat and suddenly said, "LuuYong, it seems you’ve done well as an informant, reporting information so timely."
Already feeling a bit tense, LuuYong’s heart rate spiked upon hearing this, as if it was going to leap out of his throat. He couldn’t help swallowing, his forehead sweating with nervousness.
"M-Mr. Wang, what do you mean by this? How could I be an informant?" LuuYong laughed dryly, trying to steady his breath and tone, though he couldn’t suppress his trembling. He didn’t dare to turn his head and face Wang Sicong.
"Hehe, no need to be so nervous, relax. I’ve long known about you being Lin Tian’s lackey. It’s too late for explanations now." Wang Sicong said with a smile that contained a murderous chill.
"Mr. Wang, you, you mustn’t accuse me wrongly! I am utterly loyal to you!" LuuYong quickly defended, speaking so fast as if he couldn’t wait to prove his fidelity. Before seeing concrete evidence, he wouldn’t admit being an informant; what if Wang Sicong was testing him? If he confessed carelessly, he’d be a real fool.
"Unwilling to admit it? No problem. Look at this."
Wang Sicong reached into his coat pocket, pulled out a palm-sized sealed plastic bag, and tossed it to LuuYong.
Seeing what was inside the bag, LuuYong felt his mind went blank, even forgetting to breathe.
Inside the bag was the bug he planted under Wang Sicong’s office desk, now found, which meant the evidence was unmistakable.
"M-Mr. Wang, listen to me, I was forced to do this..." LuuYong stammered, tears of urgency brimming as he cried out his grievances, "I’m not human, I wronged you, please forgive me just this once..."
"Heh, ’I’m sorry’ are the most useless three words in the world. Do you think crying a little gets you off the hook? Then wouldn’t anyone dare betray me?" Wang Sicong asked coldly.
Slap!
LuuYong slapped himself in the face and shouted, "I beg you to spare me!"
Wang Sicong laughed, "Don’t stop."
Slap!
Slap!
Slap!
