Chapter 212: Bitter Disappointment
"There’s a dense cluster of containers near the port. Hurry up, I can’t hold on much longer!"
Lin Tian found it very difficult to open his eyes again.
"Alright, wait for me!" Bai Shishi hung up the phone anxiously and rushed to the location Lin Tian mentioned.
The passages between the containers were complicated, and Bai Shishi kept wandering inside...
Suddenly, she spotted Meichuan Kuzi lying in a pool of blood. Bai Shishi frowned, and a bad feeling grew stronger in her heart.
Lin Tian might be injured, and judging from the call just now, he might be seriously injured.
At this moment, Bai Shishi quickened her pace significantly.
Finally, Bai Shishi stopped.
Her beautiful eyes stared tightly at the scene in front of her.
A large pool of bright red liquid, and a person lying in the blood.
"Lin Tian! Lin Tian!" Bai Shishi suddenly screamed, rushing towards the person lying in the pool of blood.
In just an instant, Bai Shishi’s heart felt as if it was being cut by a knife, her eyes turned red, and unknowingly, tears welled up.
"Lin Tian, you mustn’t die!" Bai Shishi shouted as she ran towards the person in the pool, intending to help him up.
A short distance away, Lin Tian, sitting on the ground and leaning against a container, was dumbfounded.
Holy shit!
Oh my god!
What’s going on?
They wish I was dead?
"Miss Bai, I’m not dead yet!" Lin Tian spoke with a face full of frustration.
Bai Shishi, who was bent over and ready to help, suddenly froze.
Following the sound, she saw a dark figure sitting not far away...
"Lin Tian?" Bai Shishi asked tentatively.
"Yeah!"
Lin Tian didn’t even want to respond anymore.
His heart felt cold...
After working so hard to deal with two people and save Wang Quan.
For what?
Isn’t it for the sake of the beautiful woman’s company?
Isn’t it for Bai Shishi!
And the result?
Seeing the already dead Naokawa Kumashiro mistaken for himself.
His heart felt cold... truly cold...
Bai Shishi bypassed Naokawa Kumashiro and approached Lin Tian: "Are you alright?"
"Still alive!" Lin Tian was too weak to even speak now.
If there was a bed, he wouldn’t doubt he could sleep for a day and a night.
"What exactly happened? Where is Wang Quan? Why are two people dead?" Bai Shishi voiced all her doubts at once.
Without Bai Shishi’s questioning, Lin Tian suddenly remembered Wang Quan.
Although it seemed Wang Quan knew he was wrong, who knew if he was just pretending under threat to realize his mistake.
Now, with Lin Tian so weak, if Wang Quan really wanted to run,
there was nothing he could do to stop him.
"Miss Bai, help me up!" Lin Tian reached out his hand.
Bai Shishi grabbed his hand and helped him up.
"Miss Bai, help me walk forward!"
Lin Tian paused, then continued, "Miss Bai, call Chen Moxiang. I believe the family’s Security Management Institute has people here, have her send some people to help immediately!"
Right now, it was unavoidable to notify Chen Moxiang.
Because facing the unknown Sakula Country enemies and the warehouse full of cultural relics,
Lin Tian alone, especially a heavily injured Lin Tian, was absolutely incapable of handling so many things.
Calling Chen Moxiang was to call for reinforcements.
Bai Shishi followed the route Lin Tian indicated, helping him walk while taking out her phone to call Chen Moxiang.
"Who is this!" Although it was late, Chen Moxiang’s voice was still spirited.
"Bai Shishi!"
"This late? What’s wrong?" Chen Moxiang was a bit surprised.
"We’re in Waihai City. Lin Tian said he found a lot of relics and caught Wang Quan, but there are people from Sakula Country causing trouble. We need you to send someone over to help!" Bai Shishi said solemnly.
Chen Moxiang, who was originally sitting at home drinking tea, dropped the teacup with a crash upon hearing Bai Shishi’s words.
Chen Moxiang jumped up from the sofa suddenly: "Where exactly are you now? I’ll send someone over!"
Wang Quan!
Cultural relics!
These were Chen Moxiang’s main work focus, and Wang Quan’s escape had frustrated her greatly.
She vowed to catch him no matter what and retrieve all the relics that were either transported or still untouched.
But if Wang Quan couldn’t be found, there would be no leads at all.
Now that everything was found, it was no wonder Chen Moxiang was so excited.
"Xinhai Pier!" Bai Shishi gave the location.
"Alright, someone will be there within twenty minutes!" Chen Moxiang hung up and immediately called her colleagues in Waihai City.
She promptly sent people to support Lin Tian and specifically instructed to send more people.
After hanging up, Chen Moxiang directly put on a coat and left home, heading straight to the airport to go to Waihai City.
For such a big event, in such a serious situation, Chen Moxiang had to personally manage things in Waihai City.
Meanwhile, Lin Tian and Bai Shishi arrived at the container door without a lock.
Lin Tian gave Bai Shishi a look, signaling her to step back a little.
Who knew if Wang Quan would play tricks?
Opening the container door, they saw Wang Quan sitting inside, with smoke coming out.
Inside the container, cigarette butts covered the ground, showing Wang Quan’s deeply suppressed feelings while hiding in the dark container.
"Come out!" Lin Tian said to Wang Quan inside.
Wang Quan took a deep puff of the cigarette, extinguished the butt on the ground, and slowly stood up.
"Do you smoke?" As soon as he stood up, Wang Quan pulled out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, handing one to Lin Tian.
Lin Tian accepted, having survived a disaster, he needed a smoke to unwind.
A blue flame flickered from the lighter.
Both Wang Quan and Lin Tian took a deep puff.
"Scared?" Lin Tian fully understood Wang Quan’s current feelings.
Wang Quan knew what he had to face next, smiling slightly: "Scared of what? I’m happy!"
"Enjoy the taste of freedom for a bit!" Lin Tian exhaled a smoke ring: "Soon, people from the Security Management Institute will come, as a Celestial Dragon Continent person I want to tell you something!"
"Go ahead!"
"For the country, and for future generations, let them proudly say that these are the Celestial Dragon Continent’s treasures when looking at their ancestors’ relics, rather than Sakula Country’s treasures!"
Lin Tian paused and continued: "I hope you will tell the Security Management Institute everything you know!"
"Maybe, those lost artifacts still have a chance to be recovered!"
"I understand!"
Wang Quan nodded, a smile appearing on his old face: "I will atone!"
"Okay!" Lin Tian nodded, quietly smoking, waiting for Chen Moxiang’s people to arrive.
"By the way, where’s your phone? Let me use it!" Wang Quan said suddenly as he noticed his cigarette was about to finish.
"What do you need the phone for?"
"I want to call Wang Ba. I had him and my driver deal with you when I left. Now it seems the incident with the Sakula Country people trying to kill me is also linked to my driver!" Wang Quan said through gritted teeth.
