Chapter 213: Not Even Once
Lin Tian looked confused as he handed the phone to Wang Quan.
Wang Quan immediately dialed Wang Ba.
"Hello, who is this?" Wang Ba on the other end of the line seemed to be sleeping, his voice lacked energy.
"It’s Wang Quan!"
"Quan!" Wang Ba jolted up from the bed: "Why are you calling so late, what’s happened?"
"Didn’t I ask you to contact my driver?"
Before Wang Quan could finish, Wang Ba interrupted: "I’ve been busy these days and forgot to contact him. Quan, I’ll reach out first thing in the morning. I’ll make sure to avenge you and make Lin Tian suffer endlessly!"
"Shut your damned mouth!" Wang Quan cursed in frustration.
Wang Ba was dumbfounded. Did I say something wrong?
Weren’t you the one who asked me to contact the driver for revenge?
It’s just a day’s delay, does it warrant such anger?
Wang Ba asked, puzzled: "Quan, I don’t understand what you mean?"
"This phone number belongs to Lin Tian. He’ll come to you. Let him explain everything clearly!"
Wang Quan paused, then continued: "What I need you to do now is simple. Do not contact my driver for now. When Lin Tian comes to you, make sure to assist him, don’t become his enemy, understand?"
"Huh?"
Wang Ba’s face darkened, sweat dripping down his temples.
What the heck is going on?
Previously, you wanted me to help avenge you, and now you want me to side with Lin Tian and not oppose him.
Wang Ba found this hard to accept no matter what.
First, trouble at the company led to his dismissal.
Then his brother Yang Wen got into trouble and ended up in jail.
Finally, he was played by Lin Tian again with the van’s spare tire.
Now it was just him and He Wu barely hanging on!
And now Wang Quan suddenly uttered these words.
No wonder Wang Ba was so agitated.
"Quan, I really don’t understand what you mean!" Wang Ba said, conflicted.
In his heart, he strongly resisted Lin Tian.
"That driver is actually from Sakula Country. I almost got killed by two assassins from Sakula Country. If Lin Tian hadn’t saved me, I would’ve been dead by now!"
Wang Quan earnestly said: "Wang Ba, listen to me, don’t be Lin Tian’s enemy. Just help me avenge and kill that driver. If you still consider me your uncle, do as I say!"
After a long silence on the other end, Wang Ba reluctantly nodded: "Uncle, I understand. I can team up with Lin Tian to kill that driver, but I don’t want to associate with him!"
"Fine! But you absolutely cannot be his enemy!"
Wang Quan advised firmly: "I’m telling you for your good, you’re no match for him!"
Having fled to Waihai City himself, witnessing Lin Tian take down two Sakula Country experts.
That made Wang Quan realize Lin Tian’s strength.
Even he didn’t have the confidence to be Lin Tian’s opponent; that incompetent Wang Ba stood no chance against Lin Tian.
Wang Quan truly wished the best for Wang Ba, which is why he repeatedly emphasized it.
"I got it!" Wang Ba replied.
"Alright, if you’re grateful, remember to visit me in prison!" Wang Quan hung up after finishing.
Wang Ba froze on the other end. Did I hear right? Quan just mentioned prison?
"What’s really going on?" Wang Ba was now a tangle of confusion and couldn’t sleep.
Wang Quan hung up and handed the phone back to Lin Tian: "I hope you spare Wang Ba. I just told him not to be your enemy!"
"As long as he doesn’t cause me trouble, I promise you, I won’t become his enemy either!" Lin Tian agreed with a nod.
"Plus, as soon as you return to Kanyue City, contact my driver. Have Wang Ba do it, as I’ve informed both sides to help them target you, so Wang Ba contacting Qingchuan won’t draw suspicion!"
"Whether to kill or maim him, it’s up to you!"
"Got it!" Lin Tian finally understood why Wang Quan was anxious to use the phone.
It was all to stabilize his driver Qingchuan.
Just as Lin Tian put the phone away, urgent footsteps sounded from afar.
A group of men in black rushed over.
"Who’s Lin Tian?" the leading middle-aged man asked.
"Me!" Lin Tian raised his hand to signal.
"Where’s Wang Quan?" After identifying Lin Tian, the middle-aged man asked.
"Here!" Wang Quan stepped forward.
"Arrest him!" With a wave of the middle-aged man’s hand, six people behind him immediately surrounded Wang Quan.
Two people pressed his shoulders from both sides, while another one from behind cuffed him.
"Take him away!" The middle-aged man ordered his subordinates.
"Mr. Lin, I work for Mr. Chen. Can you tell me where the stolen artifacts are?"
Lin Tian pointed to the distant red warehouse: "See that red warehouse? They’re hidden underneath the makeup boxes!"
"Be careful when opening the boxes, don’t damage the artifacts or the makeup!" Lin Tian specifically emphasized.
No one knows if this group would open them violently; those cosmetics are all Bai Shishi’s company assets.
"Wait, I have more to say!" Wang Quan shouted, not having gone far while being escorted.
"Lin Tian, tell them to release me!" Wang Quan craned his neck and shouted.
"Hold on!" Lin Tian gestured to the middle-aged man with a look.
"Stop!" The middle-aged man commanded his men ahead.
Supported by Bai Shishi, Lin Tian approached Wang Quan’s side: "What else?"
"About the company’s equity papers, they’re in the safe at my house. I didn’t take them when fleeing. Mr. Bai, remember to ask the police for them, those equities are yours!"
Wang Quan smiled slightly: "Also, Mr. Bai, I’m sorry!"
"I shouldn’t have used the company’s name for such deeds!"
"I understand!" Bai Shishi said solemnly.
"Let’s go!" Wang Quan told the people guarding him.
Bai Shishi faced his former partner and calmly uttered two words: "Take care!"
"Finally resolved!" Lin Tian let out a long sigh.
"From now on, we don’t have to face so many unknown dangers!" Bai Shishi also sighed deeply.
"Unknown dangers!" Lin Tian murmured to himself, Bai Shishi’s words suddenly reminded him.
"Hey, wait!" Lin Tian shouted loudly at Wang Quan, who had barely taken a few steps ahead.
Wang Quan and his group stopped again, Bai Shishi once more helped Lin Tian catch up.
"What’s the matter now?" Wang Quan looked at Lin Tian with puzzlement.
"Just wondering, did you ever collude with Sakula Country people or have someone assassinate Miss Bai?" Lin Tian suddenly realized he had overlooked a critical issue.
"No!"
Wang Quan shook his head and continued: "Only Wang Ba and his two brothers caused you trouble, other than that I never hired anyone to kill Mr. Bai!"
"Not even once?" Lin Tian was skeptical.
Wang Quan said seriously: "Not even once!"
