Chapter 105: Why Not Go
"Du Dahai invited me to dinner tonight!" Bai Shishi said heavily.
"What!" Lin Tian’s face changed.
Finally understanding why Bai Shishi would suddenly call, urgently urging him to come back.
It turned out to be such an urgent matter.
Lin Tian frowned, and asked, "Why is the smiling tiger Du Dahai inviting you?"
"If I knew, do you think I would rush you to come back?" Bai Shishi said angrily.
"Okay, I’ll head back right away!"
As Lin Tian was about to hang up the phone, the observant Liou Qingcheng asked, "Do you have something to do?"
"The boss just called. There’s something important that requires me to go to the office!" Lin Tian explained.
"Then you should hurry and take care of it. After all, you’re out there working, it’s better to listen to your boss!" Liou Qingcheng said understandingly.
If one could marry such a wife, what more could a husband ask for?
"No way, Lin Tian, you can’t leave me. I came to you today because there’s no one in the dorm, and I didn’t tell my family I’m on vacation. You can’t abandon me!" Wu Yong looked grim.
Who would have expected such a sudden situation?
Today was a day off, and he just wanted to spend the day and night hanging out.
So he didn’t tell his family about the vacation.
Can’t go back to the dorm, can’t go home, am I supposed to sleep on the streets at night?
Lin Tian knew Wu Yong too well.
He knew Wu Yong hadn’t seen him for a long time and wanted to hang out more together.
So he didn’t say anything, just nodded: "Brother Yong, I’ll just go handle this and it’ll be fine. Don’t worry, tonight’s food and lodging are all on me!"
"That’s fine then!" Wu Yong felt it was a false alarm.
Liou Qingcheng glanced at the time and said, "It’s getting late, I should head home to read. You two be safe on the way!"
"Let’s go then!"
The three of them took two cabs, Liou Qingcheng went home alone, and Lin Tian and Wu Yong headed straight to Xianglong Tea House.
Upon arriving at Xianglong Tea House, Lin Tian told Wu Yong to go have some coffee at the café while he went to find Bai Shishi.
On the tenth floor, Bai Shishi’s office.
Lin Tian pushed the door open to see quite a few people inside.
Bai Shishi was sitting at her desk, Xiaogang was on the couch, and Mei Ruyan was leaning on the desk.
Counting himself, there were four people in the room, the most capable members under Bai Shishi.
"I’m not late, am I?" Lin Tian closed the door, breaking the slightly silent atmosphere.
"You’re not late!" Bai Shishi said casually, "Find a place to sit!"
"The reason I called you all here is simple: should I go to the dinner Du Dahai invited me to tonight?" Bai Shishi spoke, sweeping her beautiful eyes over the three faces.
"No!" Xiaogang spoke first.
"Go!" Mei Ruyan said.
Lin Tian remained silent, as he just arrived and didn’t know the situation yet.
"Why not? And why go?" Bai Shishi asked Mei Ruyan and Xiaogang, wanting to hear their inner thoughts.
"Last time with Durant’s matter, Miss Bai has already had a fallout with Du Dahai. I believe this time, Du Dahai just wants to exploit last time’s issue to make trouble for Miss Bai!"
Xiaogang’s expression was serious, "If this is a banquet with hidden intentions, and something happens to Miss Bai, Xianglong Tea House and its people can’t match Du Dahai!"
"Makes sense!" Bai Shishi frowned tightly.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t considered Xiaogang’s words.
After all, Du Dahai picked the place and time for the dinner.
Could there be killers hidden around the restaurant, could this be a banquet with ulterior motives, it’s all hard to say.
The smiling tiger Du Dahai didn’t earn his nickname by chance.
He hides a dagger behind a smile, kills without being noticed, cunning and deceitful... Many words could describe Du Dahai’s insidious nature.
One can’t help but be wary!
"Ruyan, why do you think I should go?" After hearing Xiaogang, Bai Shishi’s attention turned to Mei Ruyan.
"Since Du Dahai dares to invite Miss Bai to dinner, I don’t believe he’d dare to make a move during the meal!"
"Although Bai Jie and Du Dahai have privately fallen apart, they haven’t openly exposed it!"
"So, Du Dahai wouldn’t do something so extreme, because even if something did happen to Miss Bai, Xianglong Tea House would fight him to the death!"
"When two tigers fight, one must die, even if one barely wins, it would be badly hurt!"
"With Du Dahai’s cunning and sly nature, he wouldn’t take on something without certainty!"
"Who knows if there’s a wolf eyeing his position!"
Mei Ruyan calmly analyzed a lot.
"Makes sense!" Bai Shishi nodded thoughtfully.
But she wasn’t in a hurry to give an answer.
Instead, she looked at Lin Tian, "What’s your take on it?"
"My take?" Lin Tian was stunned, actually from Xiaogang’s and Mei Ruyan’s words, he got the gist of it.
It was simply whether to attend this dinner or not.
Lin Tian organized his thoughts and said, "If you ask me, definitely go, why not when someone offers a free meal!"
With that said.
"..." Bai Shishi’s face turned black, large beads of sweat rolled down her temples.
"Cough, cough!" Xiaogang, who was drinking water, was choked and coughed repeatedly.
Mei Ruyan, leaning on the desk, almost stumbled.
"Why are you guys reacting so much, is it necessary?" Lin Tian looked innocent, is it wrong to be honest?
"Are you kidding?" Xiaogang said sternly.
"Can’t you be more serious?" Mei Ruyan snorted coldly.
"We’re discussing business, not joking around!" Bai Shishi was thoroughly speechless with Lin Tian.
"I’m serious, Du Dahai invites for dinner, so go, it’s not like Miss Bai is paying, what’s to fear?" Lin Tian repeated.
"What’s the big deal about being invited for dinner, why overthink it?"
"What if Du Dahai means harm to Miss Bai?" Xiaogang argued fervently.
"I still say, until Du Dahai finds out who the model student is, he won’t make a move against Miss Bai!" Lin Tian said confidently.
"Model student?" Bai Shishi suddenly remembered a fictional character that posed a threat to Du Dahai.
"Du Dahai invited Miss Bai for dinner tonight, why is it set for today?" Lin Tian teased.
"Can you stop being mysterious, or I’ll punch you!" Mei Ruyan raised her fist, hating when someone stops mid-speech.
It’s like an ad interrupting a TV drama just at the exciting part, it makes you want to smash the TV.
"Miss Bai, what did we do yesterday?" Lin Tian gave a friendly reminder.
"Yesterday?"
Bai Shishi suddenly had a realization, finally understanding Du Dahai’s purpose for the dinner: "I get it!"
"Good that you understand, basically this dinner tonight is because Du Dahai wants to get information from Miss Bai."
"Don’t forget that the Optimus Prime passed the message for us yesterday!" Lin Tian completely saw through Du Dahai’s deepest intentions.
