Chapter 176: The Three Mischief-Makers Emerge
"Huff, huff!"
Lin Tian panted heavily, these sudden incidents should happen less often in the future, they almost gave me a heart attack.
"Lin Tian! Are you okay?"
Hearing the sound of fighting stop, Bai Shishi’s concerned voice came through.
"I’m fine, quickly call the police!"
Lin Tian picked up the knife that had fallen to the ground, walked over to the shadowy figure, and cut open the mask on his head.
The mask was cut open, and shining his phone on the person’s face, it turned out, as expected, to be an old acquaintance.
"If I remember correctly, this person is called Yang Wen?"
Lin Tian had a deep impression of Yang Wen’s face, he definitely wouldn’t get it wrong!
Bai Shishi, who had just finished making the call to the police, walked over, and upon seeing it was Yang Wen, she exclaimed: "Why is it him?"
"Is it that surprising?"
After the initial shock, Lin Tian didn’t find it strange that it was Yang Wen.
Yang Wen, He Wu, and Wang Ba were all heavily sentenced last time!
Yet Yang Wen appearing here likely had something to do with Wang Quan’s connections.
Yang Wen coming with a knife to cause trouble for Bai Shishi today, whether he truly intended to kill her or not, it was definitely instigated by Wang Ba, and Wang Ba was quite possibly instigated by Wang Quan.
Peeling back the layers of this network of relationships, the intention becomes simple, they were targeting Bai Shishi. Put bluntly, if Bai Shishi were to die, the biggest beneficiary would be Wang Quan.
Wang Quan would then have absolute control over the company.
"Why would Yang Wen do this?" Bai Shishi hadn’t seen through the stakes involved.
"Wang Quan likely found a way to get Yang Wen, He Wu, and Wang Ba out, and then had them do some dirty work!" Lin Tian offered a friendly hint.
"You mean to say this was all orchestrated by Wang Quan?" Bai Shishi was utterly shocked.
"Otherwise? Do you think a small-time security guard like Yang Wen would just randomly pick up a knife in the dead of night to kill someone over the last incident, unless he’s lost his mind!"
"Killing people requires paying with one’s life!"
Bai Shishi wasn’t foolish, she immediately understood: "It seems Wang Quan couldn’t hold back any longer!"
"Simply put, Yang Wen is just a pawn, being used by someone else!" Lin Tian analyzed, looking at the unconscious Yang Wen on the ground.
He just didn’t expect them to use a knife this time!
It could lead to a fatality, showing how serious the other side was this time.
"Looks like we need to counterattack quickly!" Lin Tian felt a bit guilty.
Up till now, he hadn’t handled the matters Bai Shishi had entrusted him with, instead, the opposition struck first. Moreover, because of him, Bai Shishi hadn’t found anyone else to handle it either.
"Indeed, fortunately, you were with me this time, if I were alone!"
Fear flashed in Bai Shishi’s eyes: "The consequences are unimaginable!"
"I’ll take care of the Wang Quan matter immediately once my exams are over tomorrow!" Lin Tian said with guilt.
Ding dong.
The doorbell rang, and a voice questioned from outside: "Did you report the incident?"
"They came rather quickly!" Bai Shishi immediately went to open the door.
"Did you report an intruder attempting murder?" As the door opened, three police officers appeared!
"That’s right!" Bai Shishi responded.
"This person tried to kill me with a knife!" Bai Shishi pointed at the unconscious Yang Wen on the ground.
"You two, take him away!" One of the middle-aged officers instructed the two colleagues behind him to take away the unconscious Yang Wen.
"You two also need to come to the station to make a statement!" The middle-aged officer said to Lin Tian and Bai Shishi.
Six people left the villa, Yang Wen was put into the police car heading to the station, while Bai Shishi and Lin Tian drove there themselves.
As the police car drove further away, a voice cursed from a black Jetta parked by the roadside: "Damn this lousy signal!"
Accompanying the voice, a phone was violently thrown out of the window, shattering into pieces as it hit the ground!
"Ba, don’t be mad, if we think of a way quickly, we can still save Yang Wen!" He Wu said from the driver’s seat to Wang Ba, who had thrown the phone from the passenger seat.
"Damn it, we saw Lin Tian and Bai Shishi go back, but just couldn’t reach Yang Wen by phone, it’s like encountering a ghost!"
The more Wang Ba thought, the more upset he got. Originally, the three had come out of jail, planning to take it out on Bai Shishi.
But the plan backfired, Yang Wen got caught by the police again, and if he were to spill everything, things would be over for He Wu and himself too.
"What’s done is done, getting angry won’t help!"
"The urgent thing is to think of a way quickly, otherwise, if Yang Wen goes in, we won’t be spared either!"
He Wu was smart, knowing well that the three of them were in it together. Even if Yang Wen was the main perpetrator, both Wang Ba and himself were implicated.
"What can I do!"
The more Wang Ba thought about it, the more agitated he became. If only the call had gone through earlier, all these troubles wouldn’t exist!
"Call our uncle, maybe he has a solution!"
He Wu knew Wang Ba wasn’t very capable but had a good uncle!
This time, the three were released because of Wang Quan!
Now, at this critical juncture, only Wang Quan could step in.
"At this point, it’s the only choice!"
Wang Ba sighed, reaching for a phone only to remember he had just smashed it: "Give me your phone!"
Wang Ba dialed Wang Quan’s number, the first thing he said was: "Uncle, I messed up again!"
"You just got out today, what trouble could you have gotten into again?" Wang Quan’s voice came through amidst KTV music and women’s laughter.
"We wanted to hassle Bai Shishi, but Yang Wen was caught by the police!" Wang Ba whispered, afraid of being scolded by Wang Quan.
"That’s nothing serious, the police will release him soon!" Wang Quan was nonchalant.
"But Yang Wen went to Bai Shishi’s house, and he used a knife!" Wang Ba knew full well the difference between simply causing trouble and breaking into a home with a knife!
"What? Are you guys crazy?"
Upon hearing that they had used a knife at Bai Shishi’s, Wang Quan got agitated: "This isn’t just about causing trouble, is it?"
"We wanted to kidnap her!" Wang Ba finally confessed.
"Madness! Madness! Where are you, you damn fool?" Wang Quan panicked, knowing that kidnapping was a serious crime!
"We’re in the car, but Yang Wen got caught. If he tells the police, we’re doomed too!"
Wang Ba’s voice trembled: "Uncle, help me, I really don’t want to end up back in jail!"
"Both of you come to Golden Years now, since you’re so keen on causing Bai Shishi trouble, let’s plot a flawless plan!"
Wang Quan shifted his tone, a plot forming in his mind...
"But... what about the police?" Wang Ba was still worried about going back to jail.
"Don’t worry, a call from me and it will be fine!"
Wang Quan’s connections were deep and untraceable!
"Alright, uncle~ I’ll head over there now!" Hearing Wang Quan say this, Wang Ba’s heart settled.
