Chapter 256: He Got Away
"Yeah!" Bai Shishi’s beautiful eyes gleamed with a sharp light, as Lin Tian’s words suddenly made her see things clearly!
When you marry a chicken, you follow the chicken; when you marry a dog, you follow the dog - it’s usually said about women. If I marry Lin Tian, I become Madam Lin and thus a part of the Lin Family.
But I can still say I’m a member of the Bai Family, and that’s perfectly fine.
This is indeed a feudal, outdated way of thinking, but facing the Bai Family rules, it seems quite effective!
"I don’t even know what to say!" Bai Shishi was exceptionally emotional; the biggest problem that had troubled her forever was easily solved by a few of Lin Tian’s words.
Big families have this thing they call ’reason’. Don’t underestimate this ’reason’; only if you have reason can you hold your ground.
If Bai Shishi leaves the Bai Family, changing her name and surname, she would be pointed at for a lifetime because she lacks reason; it’s like suddenly changing your family name to the neighbor’s - who would accept that!
But if you have ’reason’, everything’s simple. You do things openly and rightly. I marry a man, manage the household, become the wife of another family; under the influence of this feudal mindset, I invisibly become part of another family.
"Boss, don’t get too excited. It’s very possible that even if you marry, the Xianglong Tea House might still be taken back!" Lin Tian wasn’t as optimistic as Bai Shishi.
He’s only seen the Bai Family once, and they felt like a pack of lazy wolves, trying to carve up all the meat on you!
"What do you mean?"
"They talk to you about family rules now, but once you’re married, they can talk about other things. There’s never a shortage of reasons when people want something!" Lin Tian said gravely.
"Forget it; let’s talk about family matters later!" Bai Shishi decided not to discuss it further.
"Right now, let’s deal with this kidnapping incident!" Bai Shishi said coldly, "This time, no matter who it is, they will pay for it!"
"Miss Bai, considering my current situation, I think we should first recuperate and build our strength!"
Lin Tian was speaking the truth. Whenever Bai Shishi faced various dangers, he was always the first to step up.
After several times, he grew much more mature and stronger, but encountering more danger also left him with many injuries.
With so many big and small wounds, it’s even hard for him to walk now. Even if he knew who the culprit was, Lin Tian couldn’t deal with them.
When walking is tough, what can you hope for?
As for why he wants to recuperate, it’s because Lin Tian wants to train. But with all this constant turmoil, how can he practice?
This time, he barely saved his life using forbidden techniques.
Next time, does he have to use forbidden techniques again?
Who knows if there will be even worse side effects waiting for him?
So Lin Tian is desperate to have some peaceful days to train properly.
"You’re right; you indeed are in quite a state!" Bai Shishi rubbed her temples in frustration, "And there’s Xiaogang. If we leave him alone, it’ll be harder to deal with him when he grows stronger!"
"Sigh... feels like there are so many things waiting to be resolved every day!"
"Don’t sigh. We must take one step at a time; each path leads somewhere, and at the end of every road there is a solution!" Lin Tian comforted.
Creaaaak!
Suddenly, the office door was pushed open abruptly.
"No... It’s bad!" Mei Ruyan stood panting in front of them, her face full of urgency.
"What happened? Speak slowly!" Bai Shishi said.
"What’s got Mei so anxious?" Lin Tian asked.
Mei Ruyan composed her mind: "It’s bad. The four people I sent out just called, saying the guy from Sakula Country named Qingchuan has escaped!"
"What?" At this, the person most shocked wasn’t Bai Shishi, but Lin Tian.
"Darn it!" Lin Tian closed his eyes, his heart screaming that it’s not good.
With Qingchuan escaped, he most certainly won’t remain in the Celestial Dragon Continent; the only place he can go is...
His homeland, Sakula Country!
Moreover, Lin Tian had thought Qingchuan would die, so he answered a few of his questions.
Given the vengeful nature of people from Sakula Country, having killed Meichuan Kuzi and Naokawa Kumashiro, Qingchuan is sure to report this incident.
By then, who knows if that Zhuge guy would send someone to cause trouble for me?
I think, it’s not whether he will, but that he definitely will!
That’s why Lin Tian said it’s a disaster.
Silently, there’s now another powerful hidden enemy.
"How could he escape?" Unlike Lin Tian, who thought about the implications, Bai Shishi was concerned about how Mei Ruyan let the kidnapper run.
"I don’t know what methods that guy from Sakula Country used, but he managed to open the handcuffs, then suddenly attacked and knocked out the four people!"
"It was only because one of them woke up and called me that I found out!" Mei Ruyan said helplessly.
Who knows what methods that Sakula guy used to open the handcuffs.
Listening to Mei Ruyan, Lin Tian said indifferently, "That’s quite normal!"
Qingchuan’s skills, Lin Tian knew them well; even eight ordinary men might not match him.
This partly blames myself too.
Indeed, I overlooked this, or it wouldn’t have happened.
"Should we send someone to chase him?" Mei Ruyan asked guiltily.
"No need!" Lin Tian waved his hand.
Someone like Qingchuan, unless he wants to meet you, you simply can’t catch him.
Just the way he flies is enough to make it unrealistic for ordinary people to catch up.
"Sigh!" Bai Shishi sighed.
"What to do?" Qingchuan escaped? Out of nowhere, there’s another hassle, making Lin Tian worried.
As things stand, they cannot be changed; now, even if Lin Tian wanted to avoid dealing with this kidnapping incident, he has to handle it.
Otherwise, it will be troublesome when Qingchuan arrives in the Sakula Country and sends people to trouble him.
"Right, the phone, that phone!" Lin Tian suddenly remembered something Qingchuan had said.
"What phone?" Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan looked at Lin Tian with a fool’s gaze, their faces full of confusion.
"Qingchuan’s phone, didn’t he say he didn’t know where he dropped it? I guess it must be near the Ferris wheel!" This time, even Lin Tian was impressed with his own intelligence.
Simply a genius!!!
"Should I take people to look for it now?" Mei Ruyan asked.
"Yes, first contact that police captain from yesterday, maybe they found it during their scene search!"
"Then send people to search and ask the amusement park workers if anyone picked up a phone, buy it back at a high price!" Lin Tian specifically instructed the last part.
Mei Ruyan turned and left to handle this matter.
When the office was left with just two people: "If we find the phone, can we find the mastermind?"
"Actually, Miss Bai, there’s something I’ve been unsure about whether to say or not!" Lin Tian’s tone suddenly became grave.
