Chapter 200: The Hands-Off Boss
The rogue driver opened the passenger door and swung his fist towards Lin Tian’s face, "You asked for this, don’t blame me!"
The imagined scene of blood and gore, with Lin Tian covering his face and howling, did not occur. Lin Tian casually caught the full-force punch from the rogue driver.
Only then did the rogue driver realize he had kicked an iron plate today.
Lin Tian smirked, "You pack quite a punch."
"Uh..." The rogue driver began to feel the urge to give in.
He had trained in some combat techniques and noticed from that punch alone that Lin Tian’s skills were unfathomable...
Lin Tian grabbed the rogue driver’s fist, shoved it back fiercely, seizing the opportunity to slip out of the car.
After all, the car’s interior was too cramped for easy movement.
Seeing this, the rogue driver threw another punch, hard.
This time, Lin Tian didn’t hold back. He caught the driver’s fist, twisted it hard, and then leveraged his waist to lift.
Amazingly, he threw the entire rogue driver into the air, slamming him solidly onto the taxi hood.
With a dull thud, the rogue driver gritted his teeth in pain, clutching his most injured arm as he rolled off the car and hit the ground.
Only then did he finally plead, "Brother, I was wrong! I didn’t recognize Mount Tai in front of me and clashed recklessly with the Dragon King, ouch~ it hurts so much!"
Lin Tian looked at the rogue driver grimacing on the ground and kicked him twice more, "If you knew this would happen, why did you act like that?"
"Brother, I was wrong, I’ll never dare again. Brother, please forgive me just this once!" The rogue driver repeatedly begged for mercy, all his previous arrogance gone.
"Do your job properly in the future and stop thinking about those crooked ways. You must have bullied others quite a bit; if you dare again, I won’t let you off!" Lin Tian warned harshly.
"Yes, yes, I won’t dare anymore." The rogue driver climbed up from the ground, nodding and bowing.
"Aren’t you leaving?"
"I’m leaving right now!" The rogue driver opened the car door and was about to slip away.
"Wait a minute!" Lin Tian suddenly called out to him, scaring the rogue driver into a panic, thinking Lin Tian was about to hit him again, and quickly said, "Brother, I really won’t dare anymore, please spare me."
Lin Tian chuckled helplessly, feeling quite exasperated with these bullies, and turned to ask Bai Shishi, "Are we at the destination yet?"
"Not yet." Mei Ruyan stuck out her tongue.
"I’ll drive you guys there!" The rogue driver now looked at Lin Tian as if he were a plague god, desperately wanting to get him gone.
"Drive honestly. Try any tricks, and I’ll deal with you!" Lin Tian threatened, worried the rogue driver might not behave.
The taxi driver, eager to rid himself of this problem, almost floored the accelerator. In less than five minutes, he got them to Xinhai Pier.
"Bro... brother, we’re here!" The rogue driver was stuttering.
"Is this Xinhai Pier?" Lin Tian asked Bai Shishi in the back seat.
"Yes!" Bai Shishi answered.
"What’s the normal fare from the airport to the pier?" Lin Tian asked the taxi driver.
Seeing that Lin Tian was intending to pay, the rogue driver breathed a huge sigh of relief, then waved his hands vigorously, "Oh~ brother, what money? That’s like insulting me."
Lin Tian didn’t say much, pulling out two hundred yuan from his pocket and handing it over, "Take it, it’s not much, but I loathe your kind of behavior. If I didn’t pay you, wouldn’t I be just like you?"
"Take the money and get going, and don’t do such unethical things again. Isn’t it better to make a living with your own skills?"
The rogue driver took the two hundred yuan, looked up at Lin Tian, and nodded seriously, "Alright~ brother, though this is our first meeting, I admire your character and skills!"
The rogue driver got into the taxi, gave Lin Tian a thumbs-up, and drove off.
After the taxi left, Bai Shishi pointed at a distant red-topped building, "That red warehouse over there is our beautiful women’s place. Usually, goods are brought into the warehouse, and when the ship arrives, they’re loaded onto the ship. Typically how it goes!"
"Any ships coming to load recently?" Lin Tian asked, focusing on the important question.
"I really don’t know. Although I am the company boss, matters like these are usually handled by others below me, and I’m not clear on the specifics!"
As Bai Shishi spoke, she pulled out her phone, "I’ll make a call to find out!"
While Bai Shishi was making inquiries, Lin Tian observed Xinhai Pier. Surrounded by the sea on three sides, it was indeed a naturally good harbor.
Last night Chen Moxiang didn’t catch Wang Quan, so the only place Wang Quan might be fleeing to is here!
This hunch grew stronger and stronger in Lin Tian’s mind.
After hanging up the call, Bai Shishi said seriously, "Lin Tian, originally there was supposed to be a cargo ship coming next month to pick up goods at the port, but for some reason, the situation has changed, and now there will be a cargo ship coming to load up tomorrow night!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian frowned and asked, "Where is the cargo ship from, and where is it headed?"
"It’s a cargo ship from Longmen Continent, unloading cosmetic raw materials here, and then taking the Beautiful Woman brand cosmetics to Sakula Country!" Bai Shishi explained the ship’s route.
Luckily, she asked a few more questions just now, or else she’d have to call again.
"This is the ship Wang Quan will definitely use to escape!" Lin Tian took a deep breath and said to Bai Shishi, "Do you have the warehouse key?"
Bai Shishi’s face turned awkward...
"Miss Bai, you really are a hands-off manager..." Lin Tian’s face was dark, sweat dripping down his temples.
This kind of boss position must be extremely carefree!!!
"But it doesn’t matter. There’s someone watching over the warehouse, we can just go in!" Bai Shishi reassured him confidently, raising her eyebrows at Lin Tian.
That meant, even without keys, she could still get in.
"Someone watching?"
Lin Tian touched his chin, feeling something was off, "Miss Bai? Is it someone you hired to watch it?"
"No!" Bai Shishi shook her head, explaining, "It’s a company warehouse, so of course, it’s company people watching over it, right? How else could we prevent things from going missing?"
"Company people?" Lin Tian scratched his head, "Miss Bai, you wait here, I’ll go check it out myself!"
Bai Shishi protested, "Why can’t I go with you?"
"Miss Bai, although these are your company people, who knows if they’ve been bribed by Wang Quan. If they notice something’s off and inform Wang Quan, wouldn’t our long journey from Kanyue City to Waihai City be in vain?" Lin Tian explained helplessly.
"I understand!" Bai Shishi grasped it immediately, "Be careful by yourself!"
"Okay!" Lin Tian nodded and slowly headed towards the red warehouse.
As he walked, he pondered whether walking openly like this would arouse suspicion?
