Chapter 257 - 256: Accepting Kindness
"Hiss... There’s no time, Mengting, Zhao Lei, I must make a trip to the Lin Family, is the car here?" Chen Tianlong asked directly, not caring about much else.
"Yes, it was driven over last night."
"Great! Let’s head there now." Chen Tianlong said urgently.
"Chen Tianlong, but grandpa prepared breakfast for us..."
Wu Mengting knew that her grandpa liked Chen Tianlong a lot. He went to the trouble of making breakfast, and now that they were leaving, grandpa would surely be very upset, so she hesitated and said.
"How about this, you guys stay here and have breakfast first, don’t mess around with me. I’ll go by myself." Chen Tianlong remembered that Lin Wushuang was still in danger and had no concern to eat breakfast.
"Well, I won’t eat either, I want to go with you."
Wu Mengting pouted, it was impossible for her to stay behind. After all, the breakfast was made for Chen Tianlong, what would it mean if she stayed here to eat?
"Then... I won’t eat either."
Zhao Lei was very hungry, but since even the girl wasn’t eating, he couldn’t show too much weakness, right?
"...."
Chen Tianlong was speechless for a moment, what were these two up to?
After thinking it over, Chen Tianlong went straight upstairs, with the two following closely behind. Before long, they arrived at the kitchen, and Chen Tianlong saw Tan Tian earnestly preparing breakfast.
Chen Tianlong took a deep breath, sat directly at the dining table, and deliberately shouted: "Master, is breakfast ready? We’re starving here!"
Zhao Lei and Wu Mengting were taken aback, then immediately understood.
No wonder, seeing Tan Tian being so attentive, who could refuse such kindness?
An elderly person, bustling in the kitchen early in the morning, just to make a breakfast, how sad would it be to refuse it?
"Ah? Tianlong, you all came up? Just wait for five minutes, okay?" Tan Tian’s kindly voice came from the kitchen, where would Chen Tianlong dare say no?
"No problem, take your time cooking."
Chen Tianlong was melted by that irresistible voice, calming down instantly; this was probably meant to be. If the Lin Family couldn’t escape this catastrophe, no matter how much he fussed, it would be useless.
Wu Mengting smiled bitterly at Chen Tianlong, what she liked was this kind of feeling, no matter how big the storms he experienced, Chen Tianlong always gave people a sense of steadiness and safety.
Just like now, even though it’s a dire situation, to not disappoint Tan Tian’s goodwill, he suppressed his anxiety and waited calmly for breakfast.
Sure enough, Tan Tian served the steaming breakfast as scheduled, instantly the room was filled with an aroma that opened up one’s appetite.
"Elder Tan, sit down and eat with us."
Chen Tianlong looked at the touching figure, with an angelic face, and was suddenly filled with tenderness.
"Ah? No need, you eat first, I’ll eat later."
Tan Tian forgot for a moment, only made breakfast for the three, didn’t make any for herself.
Certainly, Chen Tianlong could see that the pot was empty, where was there any portion left for later?
So, Chen Tianlong thought for a moment, then walked towards the kitchen. A little while later, he returned with a clean big bowl, then poured half of his untouched century egg porridge into Tan Tian’s bowl.
This small gesture moved Elder Tan deeply.
"Hehe, haven’t eaten yet, don’t worry, I just recovered from an illness, not much appetite, can’t eat that much, you help me finish it." Chen Tianlong’s excuse was well used, even Zhao Lei sitting there felt a bit embarrassed.
With that said, Chen Tianlong didn’t delay any longer, as he had things to do, he quickly ate while Wu Mengting and Zhao Lei, knowing time was tight, joined in eating.
Seeing everyone enjoying the meal so much, Tan Tian felt a sense of pride, after all, this was personally made by her.
Ten minutes later, Chen Tianlong stood up and said with some apology: "Master, really thank you for this time, we have very important matters, we have to go first. Next time, I’ll invite you for a meal."
"Haha, no need to be polite, you all go ahead and be busy."
Tan Tian still smiled kindly.
Chen Tianlong nodded, swiftly leaving with the two.
Lin Family Mansion.
Mr. Hu and Lin Batian were in the hall, anxious.
Chen Tianlong was in trouble, although they heard he was taken by Tan Tian, the exact situation was still unknown. His daughter Lin Wushuang was also taken by the Mo Family, and critically, the selection of the four great families was imminent.
"Boss, what should we do?"
Mr. Hu had done his best, these matters even Chen Tianlong couldn’t handle, surely he had no way.
"Sigh...Is this destiny? Is it destined for our Lin Family business to be destroyed?"
Lin Batian was also troubled, last night he called his father-in-law over there, the Ancient Martial Cultivator Association had already started eyeing their Tianshu Manor, didn’t dare to send anyone to help, could only let Lin Batian think of something first.
As for Chen Tianlong’s matter, the Manor Master Sima Dong conveyed to Fang Yan, unexpectedly Fang Yan said calmly, very good!
This sentence puzzled Sima Dong for an entire night, the words of the master were very hard to decipher, clearly Chen Tianlong was about to die, and he still said very good, he couldn’t understand how he thought.
However, since Chen Tianlong was his disciple, and he wasn’t anxious, naturally Sima Dong wouldn’t be too anxious either.
Just as the two were pacing back and forth anxiously, a car appeared at the Lin Family entrance, in this sensitive time, with a car at the door, Lin Batian naturally went out to see immediately.
However, what he saw shocked him, Chen Tianlong was actually alive, standing once again in front of him.
Lin Batian was excited, said nothing, and went over, tightly hugging Chen Tianlong, just like hugging his own son.
"Mr. Lin, how is the situation now, any news of Wushuang?"
After the hug, Chen Tianlong let go, right now his main task was to rescue Lin Wushuang, as for other things, they could be handled later.
"The situation is terrible, Wushuang should be at the Mo Family secret base, do you know where it is?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Batian said directly.
"The Mo Family’s secret base?"
Chen Tianlong thought for a moment, then his lips curled slightly, he seemed to have an idea: "Mr. Lin, I know, you continue with your work as usual, do what you need to do, don’t worry about Wushuang’s matters, rest assured, I will bring her back safely, I promise with my life."
Seeing Chen Tianlong’s determined expression, Lin Batian was instantly filled with confidence.
"Alright, I trust you...."
Lin Batian turned around, then said to Mr. Hu next to him: "Old Hu, we’re heading to the company now to hold a board meeting immediately."
Chen Tianlong asked Zhao Lei to take care of Wu Mengting, then drove to pick up Bao and Zhang Xiao, the three quickly headed to the Mo Family’s secret base.
In Chen Tianlong’s view, the Mo Family didn’t have any secret base, what existed was the Hao Family, and the Hao Family’s secret base, he had obviously been there once.
