Chapter 116: Money Truly Brings Harm
Chen Tianlong thought for a moment, grabbed a handful of money from his pocket, and tossed it into the air in front of him, instantly scattering a dozen bills on the ground.
One of the young men saw the money and his eyes lit up; he glanced around, realized no one was watching, and quickly walked over. At the same time, another young man obviously noticed it too, and seeing his partner happily picking up the money, didn’t bother to think about where it came from and ran over to grab some for himself.
"Oh, money, it really is a temptation!"
Chen Tianlong muttered as he swiftly slipped out, following up with a quick chop to both of their necks, causing them to fall to the ground.
To prevent them from being discovered too early, Chen Tianlong dragged them into the nearby restroom.
Inside, Lin Wushuang and Lu Xiaoyu were tied up on the floor. Lin Wushuang was clearly very scared, as this was the first time in her life being kidnapped, and those thugs all looked quite fierce, leaving her unsure of what to do.
At this moment, Lin Wushuang unexpectedly thought of a man, and that man was none other than Chen Tianlong.
Last time at the bar, he was able to defeat those gangsters, and even Hao Jian was not his match, so in Lin Wushuang’s mind, Chen Tianlong was like a War God.
After dealing with things, Chen Tianlong quickly arrived outside the door previously guarded by his men, took out a thin wire, fiddled with it for a moment, and with a "click," the door was unlocked.
"Mmm-mmm..."
Lin Wushuang saw the commotion and quickly looked toward the door. When she saw Chen Tianlong appearing, she was dumbfounded; was she dreaming?
How could the man she just thought of appear right in front of her? Chen Tianlong was practically her Do Min-joon!
"Wushuang, are you alright?" Seeing Lin Wushuang bound hand and foot with tape over her mouth, Chen Tianlong walked over worriedly and quickly untied her.
"Hoo..."
After taking a deep breath, Lin Wushuang threw herself into Chen Tianlong’s arms; she was indeed quite frightened. Chen Tianlong could also feel Lin Wushuang’s trembling body, and her scent enveloped him, leading him into a slight daze. This was the first time Lin Wushuang hugged him, and he was somewhat enamored.
"Mmm-mmm..."
This person was Lu Xiaoyu.
"Heyma, Lu Xiaoyu, what are you doing hiding under the table?" Chen Tianlong was speechless, nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, calmed himself, and then pulled her out to untie her.
"Cough cough... Stupid Chen Tianlong, you only think about saving the princess and not me." Lu Xiaoyu pouted in complaint: "I was hoping to find something to untie myself under the table, but instead got stuck."
"..."
Hearing this, Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang were speechless, and Lin Wushuang’s cheeks turned slightly red. After all, her best friend spoke such things to a guy, making her unintentionally feel a bit shy.
"Wushuang, Xiaoyu, we don’t have much time left, let’s get out of here quickly." With that, Chen Tianlong began leading the two girls out.
The two girls were obviously very obedient. They were still quite scared.
When the thugs used them to extort and coerce Lin Batian, Lin Wushuang felt like she had harmed her father. Unexpectedly, at the moment of despair, the hero she thought of appeared.
The three quickly headed for the rooftop, because the second and first floors could have a lot of henchmen, and descending might get them discovered, which is the same as walking into a trap.
"Chen Tianlong, did you come by helicopter?" Lu Xiaoyu asked in confusion as she watched Chen Tianlong lead them upwards.
"..." Chen Tianlong was exasperated; helicopter—might as well say spaceship: "Xiaoyu, stop talking, just keep up!"
"Oh..."
Lu Xiaoyu pouted, and the three quickly ascended to the rooftop.
"So... Chen Tianlong, how do we escape?" Lin Wushuang couldn’t help but ask, seeing the empty expanse of the rooftop.
"Haha, you’ll find out soon enough." Chen Tianlong didn’t explain much, instead leading them to the east side of the building.
There, Chen Tianlong retrieved a bundle of rope he had prepared in advance from a corner, quickly tying one end to the rooftop railing, and after pulling it tightly to ensure it was secure, he smiled with satisfaction.
"Come on, Chen Tianlong, you’re not saying we should climb down this rope, are you?" Lu Xiaoyu stared wide-eyed; with her physique, it would be a miracle if she could climb down without falling to her death.
"Yes, but I’m not letting you climb down; I’m climbing down!" Chen Tianlong said calmly.
"What about us?" Lu Xiaoyu frowned.
"Hold onto me, I’ll take you down!"
"Oh... I see, so Chen Tianlong wants to take advantage of us two beauties, huh? Nice plan! But, in TV dramas, the hero saves the beauty only to dedicate their life to them, so I’m the concubine, while Wushuang is the wife. Remember to take care of us in the future!"
Lu Xiaoyu calmly exposed Chen Tianlong’s ’plot,’ speaking as if it were true. Lin Wushuang didn’t think much of it at first, but her friend’s words suddenly made her feel shy, her cheeks involuntarily reddening.
"Xiaoyu, don’t say such things, Chen Tianlong is here to rescue us!" Lin Wushuang hurriedly said.
"Alright, since the wife says so, I’ll obediently comply!" Lu Xiaoyu started being mischievous again.
"Xiaoyu, you..."
"Could you two wait to chat until after we successfully escape?"
Chen Tianlong really couldn’t stand it anymore—at such a critical moment, how could these two girls still be joking around? Hearing this, Lin Wushuang nodded and said, "Chen Tianlong, send Xiaoyu down first!"
"Okay..."
"Huh?"
Just as Chen Tianlong finished speaking, Lu Xiaoyu jumped onto him, tightly hugging his neck, her legs wrapping around his waist like a snake.
This put her entirely against Chen Tianlong’s chest, nearly making his heart leap out—it’s simply irresistible temptation.
Even with Chen Tianlong’s strong self-discipline, he almost wanted to bury his face.
Lin Wushuang saw her friend’s actions and quickly reminded, blushing, "Xiaoyu, don’t hold so close; how’s Chen Tianlong supposed to work?"
"Oops, Tianlong, sorry for blocking your view!" Lu Xiaoyu, who didn’t know the meaning of shy, promptly shifted her chest downward a bit, letting Chen Tianlong breathe a sigh of relief.
Without further delay, Chen Tianlong had Lu Xiaoyu hug him tightly; then, holding the rope, he jumped down to quickly slide.
This skill is something Chen Tianlong often used during his days as an assassin; therefore, it was masterful and highly skilled.
Before long, Lu Xiaoyu was delivered to the ground, and Chen Tianlong briefly instructed her not to run around before heading back to the rooftop.
