Chapter 181: Are You Childish or Not?
"Wang Quan and Wang Ba are in the same boat. If they were the masterminds behind this, why would they impersonate Du Dahai?"
"What benefit do they get from pretending to be Du Dahai?"
Lin Tian was bewildered by this question.
"This way, you wouldn’t know it was the uncle and nephew who did it, and you’d seek revenge on Du Dahai instead?"
Bai Shishi speculated.
Lin Tian put a cigarette in his mouth. "That’s a possibility!"
"Wang Quan knows I don’t have a good relationship with Du Dahai, so he might be using Du’s name to get rid of you. Don’t forget that Yang Wen was just taken away from here last night!"
This time, Bai Shishi became more confident as she spoke.
Yesterday, Yang Wen broke in with a knife, and today Lin Tian got ambushed by a group of mysterious people.
All signs indicate that Wang Quan is somehow involved in this.
Bai Shishi’s words successfully convinced Lin Tian, making him drop his suspicion towards Xiaogang, and he declared in a low voice, "Looks like after the exams tomorrow, I’ll have to pay Wang Quan a visit to fetch the recorder pen!"
"Yes, let’s deal with Wang Quan and Wang Ba early, so we don’t have to worry about them anymore!" Bai Shishi said assertively.
This time, Wang Quan will regret making an enemy of her!
"Miss Bai, I think you’re even more charming when you’re ruthless!" Lin Tian admired Bai Shishi’s demeanor in this moment.
When they’ve been together for a long time, Bai Shishi starts to give off the vibe of relying completely on her boyfriend.
If it continues, Bai Shishi might lose her former ambition and boldness.
"I think so too. Those who oppose me must pay the price in blood!" Bai Shishi said through gritted teeth.
Despite her gritted teeth, Lin Tian found this side of her oddly endearing.
Actually, Lin Tian hadn’t noticed.
Being together for so long, Lin Tian seemed like he was always there to help, carefully tending to his girlfriend!
As they spent more time together, they both subtly started to change each other!
Perhaps this is the legendary power of love!
But neither wanted to break the delicate barrier of their feelings...
Afraid that breaking through would bring neither intoxicating sweetness nor heart-wrenching pain...
"Everything will be clear once I get the recorder pen from Wang Quan’s place tomorrow!"
Lin Tian yawned as sleepiness set in. "Miss Bai, I’m going to sleep now. We have exams tomorrow!"
"Ha!"
Bai Shishi couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"What are you laughing at?"
Lin Tian was perplexed. Did I say something wrong?
"You slept through the exams today and you’re still sleepy?" Bai Shishi teased.
"I slept because I finished the questions early and couldn’t submit, so I had nothing else to do but sleep!" Lin Tian explained innocently.
"You wrote randomly and then slept, and you’re talking about exams tomorrow? Acting like it’s a big deal, but you’ll just end up sleeping at the desk again, right?"
Lin Tian retorted, "Miss Bai, do you not believe I can get into Kanyue City Medical University?"
"I don’t!" Originally Bai Shishi believed; after today, she definitely didn’t believe anymore.
"How about this, let’s make a bet. What if I do get into Kanyue City Medical University?" Lin Tian proposed.
"Whatever you say, goes."
Without thinking, Bai Shishi blurted out.
There’s virtually no chance of him getting in, so the bet was unnecessary.
Even if they bet, she was sure to win.
"Alright, you said it, Miss Bai!" Lin Tian smiled mischievously. "Just make sure you don’t go back on your word!"
"A gentleman’s word is like a horse that can’t be reined in; although I’m a woman, I stick to my word!" Bai Shishi reiterated, "If you get into Kanyue City Medical University, whatever you say goes!"
"What if I ask you for a kiss?" Lin Tian’s smirk turned into a playful grin.
Evidently, he was teasing Bai Shishi.
"I said, whatever you say goes, I’ll do as you wish!" Bai Shishi replied nonchalantly.
The bet could only turn out in her favor.
Given Lin Tian’s history of dropping out and lack of studying, on top of sleeping through today’s exams... there’s no way he’d get into Kanyue City Medical University.
"Deal!" Lin Tian extended his pinky finger.
"What?" Seeing Lin Tian’s pinky stretched towards her, Bai Shishi was at a loss.
What does this mean?
"Pinky swear, and a hundred years of no change?" Lin Tian learned this from Liou Qingcheng. For the legitimacy of the bet, the ritual was a must.
Bai Shishi was exasperated, beads of sweat rolling down her temple. "Aren’t you being childish?"
Lin Tian raised an eyebrow. "Afraid to pinky swear, are you planning to cheat?"
"Fine, let’s pinky swear!" Bai Shishi snorted, but she wasn’t worried, because she wouldn’t lose.
Their pinky fingers hooked together, Lin Tian felt the warmth radiating from Bai Shishi’s fingers.
"Pinky swear, and a hundred years of no change, whoever changes is instant noodles!"
Even the words were borrowed from Liou Qingcheng.
Bai Shishi was taken aback, she hadn’t expected Lin Tian to have such an immature side. "Instant noodles? Why not ’whoever changes is a puppy!’"
"Whether it’s a puppy or instant noodles, what’s said is final, the bet is set!" Lin Tian was adamant about the bet, fearing Bai Shishi might back out in the end.
"Alright!" Bai Shishi nodded, seeing that it was getting late. "Get some rest. You won’t wake up in time otherwise!"
"Early to bed, early to rise, and go to the exam hall to sleep again!"
"..."
For some reason, Lin Tian was unhappy!
Do I not look like a good student?
Is there a need to doubt my academic performance so much?
However, Lin Tian did not continue to dwell on the exam topic and instead lay down on the sofa to sleep.
After all the chaos tonight, he was already exhausted.
Bai Shishi and Lin Tian both drifted into dreams early, but in the private room of Golden Years, Wang Ba and He Wu sat quietly on the sofa, not daring to breathe loudly.
Facing them directly across the way was Wang Ba’s uncle, Wang Quan, who was on the phone.
After a moment, Wang Quan hung up the phone, and Wang Ba quickly asked, "Uncle, can Yang Wen be released?"
"This time, Yang Wen won’t be getting out!" Wang Quan shook his head grimly. "His act was too vicious—the charge of breaking in and murdering means nobody dares to release him, fearing jeopardizing their position if something happens later!"
Wang Ba panicked hearing this. "But Uncle, didn’t you release all three of us last time?"
Wang Quan reluctantly explained, "Last time you three were basically charged with theft. I could bail you out with some cash, and even then, people would just think you were petty thieves!"
"But Yang Wen wanted to murder. If released and he murders again, such a serious matter would trigger a thorough investigation. Whoever releases him will be implicated—who dares to take that risk?"
