Chapter 259: A Knife to the Heart
Wu Yong thought Lin Tian would treat him to dinner, so he ordered a table full of dishes. But...
But Lin Tian left, so wouldn’t he have to pay for this table of dishes himself?
Thinking about this, Wu Yong felt a sharp pain in his heart, like a knife stabbing into it.
Lin Tian followed behind Xiaogang, and when Xiaogang left, he quickly got into a car and left in a hurry.
Without a car, Lin Tian couldn’t keep up with Xiaogang, so he could only turn back.
At this moment, his phone suddenly rang. Answering it, an impatient voice came through: "Where are you? It’s already seven, and I don’t see you anywhere? Do you have any sense of time?"
"You’re in room 66 at Jinluan Hall?" Lin Tian asked casually.
In fact, this was just to confirm whether the middle-aged man was the one calling.
"Yes, I’ve been waiting for you for half an hour!"
Getting the answer he wanted, Lin Tian directly refused: "Sorry, I have something to do today, I might not make it!"
"Heh!" The other side sneered: "I’m very busy, do you find it amusing to mess with people this way?"
"Don’t call me anymore. I don’t do business with people like you!"
Then the other party angrily hung up.
The reason Lin Tian didn’t meet him was because there was no need to. The plan was to lure the snake out of the hole; the next step was to follow the middle-aged man and find a place to interrogate him properly.
He hailed a taxi in advance and waited at the entrance of Jinluan Palace Hotel.
Soon, he saw a middle-aged man carrying a black suitcase hurriedly get into a black car.
The black car started, and Lin Tian pointed to the distant black car: "Driver, follow that car!"
"Huh?" The taxi driver was taken aback for a moment: "Got it!"
The black car and the taxi were some distance apart, and for safety, the taxi driver was clearly driving a bit slowly.
Lin Tian was getting anxious as he watched from behind, allowing even other cars to cut in.
"Driver, can you go faster?" Lin Tian glanced at the taxi driver.
"Is something wrong?"
"My wife’s in that black car!" Lin Tian was desperate enough to say anything to get the driver to speed up.
"Zoom!"
With a powerful step on the gas, the taxi shot forward, even causing Lin Tian in the passenger seat to feel a pushback sensation.
The distance between the two cars wasn’t too far to begin with, and that step on the gas closed it quickly.
It’s unclear how long they drove, but Lin Tian saw the black car enter a residential area and immediately signaled the taxi to pull over. After paying the fare, he hurriedly ran into the community.
"Ah, women these days~!" The taxi driver sighed from the bottom of his heart.
As soon as Lin Tian entered the neighborhood, he found out it was an old complex, filled with parked cars, and for a moment, he couldn’t locate the black car.
No other choice, narrowing his eyes slightly, Lin Tian could only rely on his eyes to find the middle-aged man.
"Found it!" Under a tree, a black car just parked, the same one Lin Tian had followed all the way.
The middle-aged man parked the car and looked at the black suitcase on the passenger seat with excitement. Inside was a full two million.
He never thought he’d earn two million so easily.
"Tomorrow I’ll go to the BMW dealership to get a nice car, and the rest will be for a house down payment!" The middle-aged man felt his life had completely changed, and his wife and kids were about to enjoy the good life with him.
Carrying the black briefcase, the middle-aged man had just gotten out of the car when a shadow swooped down. Before he could react, he felt something hit his head.
Before passing out, the middle-aged man had only one thought: "Oh no, I’ve run into a thief!"
When the middle-aged man regained consciousness, everything was pitch black, and a shadow stood not far away with a cigarette in his mouth.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man looked around and found himself sitting on a chair with his limbs tied to it, unable to move.
"So soon you don’t recognize me?" Lin Tian took two steps forward, only two steps away from the middle-aged man.
"Who are you?" The middle-aged man’s heart sank. The voice sounded familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he’d heard it before!
"Since you don’t remember, let me give you a friendly reminder!"
Lin Tian chuckled and spat out three words: "Jinluan Hall!"
"Oh, I know who you are now!"
The middle-aged man suddenly panicked: "How did you find me? Didn’t you say you weren’t in business anymore?"
"Knowing who I am is enough!" Lin Tian took out a dagger and waved it in front of the middle-aged man: "Made quite a bit of money today, very excited, right?"
"I don’t know what you’re talking about!" The middle-aged man turned his head away!
Lin Tian smiled slightly, kicked the black briefcase on the ground forward: "Is this suitcase yours?"
"No!" The middle-aged man lied without blinking!
"Alright then!" Lin Tian took out a lighter and flicked it a couple of times: "This suitcase isn’t mine either, let’s just burn it!"
As he spoke, Lin Tian squatted down, opened the suitcase, and was about to light it on fire.
"No no!" The middle-aged man urgently stopped him, secretly cursing Lin Tian for being an idiot. This was money, how could he just burn it?
"So the suitcase is yours then?" Lin Tian looked up and asked.
"The suitcase is mine!" The middle-aged man decided to come clean: "Tell me, what do you want!"
From Lin Tian’s willingness to burn the money, it was clear that this wasn’t about the money, so it wasn’t a robbery!
If it wasn’t a robbery, then the problem became a little tricky.
"You should know who Bai Shishi is, right? I believe you must know something?" Lin Tian asked with a smile.
The middle-aged man swore: "I don’t know anything, and I don’t know who Bai Shishi is. I’m just a businessman!"
Lin Tian didn’t say anything, but stepped forward two more steps, the tip of the dagger slicing across the middle-aged man’s forehead, leaving a clear trail of blood.
"If you tell the truth, I promise you won’t get hurt. If you lie, sorry, but you’ll suffer today!" Lin Tian was blatantly threatening!
"Bro, we have no grudges, there’s no need for this, right?"
Feeling the coldness of the blade, the middle-aged man looked aggrieved: "I really don’t know anything!"
"Looks like you really won’t cry until you see the coffin!"
Lin Tian shrugged, holding the dagger with its tip pointed between the middle-aged man’s legs: "Men, they all love beautiful women, right?"
The middle-aged man stared at Lin Tian with wide eyes, too scared to speak or move.
"Today I’ll make sure you can’t be a man anymore!" Lin Tian was going for the middle-aged man’s weak spot.
The middle-aged man liked beautiful women, so naturally, he cared about whether he could be a complete man. This was probably every man’s weak spot.
"Big brother, please don’t!" Seeing the blade about to touch between his legs, the middle-aged man shouted frantically, beads of cold sweat forming on his forehead.
"Finally willing to talk?"
At this moment, Lin Tian played a psychological game: "Since I caught you, it’s obviously not without reason. Leniency for confession, severity for resistance, you better honestly confess!"
