Chapter 106: The Black Dragon
Yesterday’s events were only clear to Bai Shishi and Lin Tian.
Xiaogang and Mei Ruyan were left dumbfounded.
Both were silently guessing the two of them didn’t do anything good last night!
Lin Tian shrugged: "Alright, I’ve said everything I needed to say. As for what to do... Miss Bai, it’s up to you to decide!"
Decide?
Bai Shishi propped her chin with one hand, quietly pondering.
To go or not to go.
Right now it’s two votes against one.
Except for Xiaogang who disagreed, both Mei Ruyan and Lin Tian were in favor of going.
Perhaps.
She should listen to Lin Tian.
Ever since she met Lin Tian and hired him as an employee.
Lin Tian’s advice has never been wrong, whether it’s gambling or card games, which proves that this guy is very smart.
So, this time she would listen to him.
After pondering for a long time, Bai Shishi finally spoke: "It’s been a long time since I’ve seen the smiling tiger Du Dahai, tonight I’ll go meet him!"
"Miss Bai, you mustn’t!" Xiaogang was the first to jump up to stop her: "What if the smiling tiger Du Dahai has ill intentions..."
Bai Shishi waved her hand: "There’s no need to say anymore, my mind is made up!"
"Mei Ruyan, find twenty skilled hands to ambush at the Hyatt Imperial Palace Hotel tonight. If anything happens, provide support immediately!"
"Xiaogang, prepare fifty brothers at the tea house tonight. If any unexpected situation arises, immediately drive to the Hyatt Imperial Palace Hotel for support!"
"Lin Tian, you come with me tonight. If I’m in danger, you won’t get away either!"
Bai Shishi issued three orders in quick succession.
Xiaogang and Mei Ruyan nodded, following Bai Shishi’s orders.
Only Lin Tian stood there dumbfounded, mom... I help you come up with plans, and now you’re taking me to the lion’s den with you?
"What? Do you have any objections?" Bai Shishi asked when she saw Lin Tian not responding.
"No objections, why would I have any!" Lin Tian reluctantly agreed.
"Aren’t you the one who suggested I go? If anything happens to me, you can’t escape either!" Bai Shishi’s beautiful eyes shimmered with cunning.
"..." Lin Tian felt defeated.
"Alright, everyone go prepare!" Bai Shishi said to Xiaogang and Mei Ruyan.
"What about me?"
"The dinner meeting is at seven, and it’s almost six now. We’ll head straight to Kaiyue Hotel!" Bai Shishi stood up to gather her things.
Seeing Mei Ruyan and Xiaogang leave.
Lin Tian said weakly: "Miss Bai, I have a friend waiting for me at the coffee shop downstairs. Can I call him for a moment?"
"Sure!" Bai Shishi nodded, starting to pack her things, making sure to put the huge IOU of 64 million into her bag.
"Hey, is that Wu Yong?" Lin Tian called out.
"Lin Tian, aren’t you off work yet?" Wu Yong said hopelessly: "I’m already on my third cup of coffee!"
"Wu Yong, I have something to do with my boss. If you don’t want to keep waiting in the café, maybe go to the internet café and hang out. I’ll call you when I’m done, okay?" Lin Tian said apologetically.
Initially, he planned to take Wu Yong out for some fun, but who knew this would come up.
"You’re standing me up again!" Wu Yong was going crazy.
Lin Tian began to bribe Wu Yong: "Tonight, I’ll treat you to a good time and find you a pretty girl! Consider it my compensation!"
"That..." Wu Yong was about to insist.
But his resolve betrayed him, eagerly agreeing: "Alright, I’ll wait for you at the internet café!"
After hanging up, Lin Tian took a deep breath, finally resolving the situation with Wu Yong.
"Oh~ planning a night out with a pretty girl, looks like you’ve got some fun lined up tonight?" Bai Shishi teased, having overheard.
"It’s for a friend. I’m not looking!" Lin Tian chuckled foolishly.
"Finding girls in the evening is fine, but you have another task to do!" Bai Shishi chuckled back.
"Ah!" Lin Tian’s smile froze.
"What task? Isn’t it just dinner with Du Dahai? Is there something else tonight?"
For some reason, Lin Tian could picture Wu Yong’s exasperated face after being stood up for the third time.
"Du Dahai is one thing; the other is about Wang Ba!" Bai Shishi pulled a black bag out of the desk drawer.
The bag opened, revealing four recording pens and a note.
"What’s this for?" Lin Tian was confused.
Recording pens?
Are you asking me to be a spy?
"Didn’t I tell you before that Wang Ba has an uncle named Wang Quan? I wanted you to secretly infiltrate his house to find out if he’s involved in Wang Ba’s treachery," Bai Shishi reminded him.
With her reminder, Lin Tian suddenly understood.
He finally realized what the recording pens on the table were for.
"This note has Wang Quan’s address. Today is the weekend, and he’s likely to return home late from the club. It’s a perfect opportunity to sneak into his house and plant the recording pens," Bai Shishi pushed the four recording pens across the table to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian packed the four recording pens and note into his pocket, jokingly saying, "Boss, since I’m so busy, shouldn’t you give me a raise?"
"A raise?" Bai Shishi laughed heartily.
But to Lin Tian, her smile seemed a bit terrifying.
Bai Shishi playfully said to Lin Tian, "A raise is possible? But since you didn’t come to work today, according to the rules, shouldn’t I dock your pay?"
"No, no... let’s talk this over!" Lin Tian quickly backed down: "I was just joking; Miss Bai, don’t take it seriously!"
"Less nonsense, let’s go!" Bai Shishi took a sheathed dagger from her desk.
Removing the sheath, the dagger was pitch black with a golden dragon etched on it.
Every man’s loves: knives, watches, cars!
Believe it or not, there’s surely one of these things you like.
Of course, there are many men like Lin Tian, who like all three!!!
When Bai Shishi brought out the dagger, Lin Tian’s focus was entirely on it, his dark eyes unblinking.
"This dagger is called Black Dragon. You take it. You might find it useful if something happens!" Bai Shishi handed the sheathed Black Dragon to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian took it, unable to put it down, feeling it was extremely cool.
In a careless moment, the dagger’s blade grazed Lin Tian’s index finger.
The skin immediately split open, and bright red blood squeezed out.
"So sharp, it’s truly a good blade!" Lin Tian remarked on the dagger’s sharpness.
"This Black Dragon, they say, is made from meteoric iron, extremely sharp, capable of slicing through iron like mud. It’s a king among melee weapons!" Bai Shishi explained the Black Dragon’s background.
The more he listened, the more Lin Tian grew fond of the Black Dragon: "If only I could have this dagger!"
Bai Shishi gave him a look and said exasperatedly: "Even if I gave it to you, not today. Get on with the real business!"
He sheathed the Black Dragon and tucked it into his inside pocket.
They left the Xianglong Tea House, got into a Mercedes S400L, and headed straight to the Hyatt Imperial Palace Hotel.
Following Bai Shishi’s car, Mei Ruyan led with a convoy of three Wuling Hongguang vehicles...
