Chapter 29: Thank You, Boss
"There are three cards on your right wrist, and that guy called Xiaogang also had three cards. When you two were revealing the cards, you’d use your little finger to slip the cards from your sleeves, bringing out another card at the same time. Am I right?" Lin Tian recounted what he had just witnessed with his own eyes.
However, he didn’t mention the card tucked at Bai Shishi’s chest.
Can you even see the card at the chest?
That’s several layers of clothing in between!
Saying it out loud would be a real issue~!
Unfortunately, even with his careful observation, Lin Tian inadvertently revealed the number of cards on Bai Shishi’s wrist, three!
To the listener, it was unintentional yet impactful. Bai Shishi originally thought Lin Tian had figured out the cheating method through his gaze, but when he mentioned the three cards hidden at her wrist,
Bai Shishi realized that the student in front of her, the one with the backpack named Lin Tian, was the person she had been looking for!
"I have a question for you, and if you can answer it, this job with a monthly salary of a hundred thousand is yours!" Bai Shishi said earnestly.
"Ask!" Lin Tian was quite excited upon hearing this news.
He even started to count on his fingers, one hundred thousand a month, which is one million two hundred thousand a year.
Li Li, you bitch, don’t you like money?
Your time to regret is coming!
"Can you see through all cheating techniques?" Bai Shishi asked seriously.
"Just about!" Lin Tian pondered for a moment: "I guess I can see through ninety percent of them!"
"Alright, the job is yours. Report to Xianglong Tea House first thing tomorrow morning!"
"Thank you, boss!"
"No need to call me boss, just call me Miss Bai from now on!" Bai Shishi was quite satisfied with Lin Tian’s neither arrogant nor submissive attitude.
"Then, boss, I’ll have my meal first. I have something else after eating!" Lin Tian pointed to a bowl of noodles on his table.
"What? You have school in the afternoon?" Bai Shishi casually asked.
"I got expelled today and have a fight scheduled for the afternoon!" Lin Tian started walking towards his table.
"A fight?" Bai Shishi asked kindly after hearing Lin Tian’s words: "Need my help?"
"Help?" Lin Tian was taken aback: "How would you help?"
"Do you need people?"
"You can get people to fight for me?" Lin Tian suddenly felt a bit excited. Although he wasn’t sure about Liu Chan’s strength, he knew for sure that he had money, people, and influence.
For this scheduled fight, Lin Tian planned to challenge the other party by himself, but if Bai Shishi could get people to help him, that would be all the better.
"Tell me how many people you need?" Bai Shishi said nonchalantly.
Finding people for fights was something Bai Shishi frequently did; she had quite a few henchmen under her command.
"A dozen people should be enough!" Lin Tian said cautiously, considering his own strength.
"No problem, I’ll get you twenty people!" Bai Shishi directly reassured him.
"Thank you, boss!" Lin Tian said excitedly.
This time, he was determined to give Liu Chan a memorable lesson.
After finishing his noodles, Lin Tian directly went to the alley beside the entrance of No.3 Middle School and waited quietly for Liu Chan to arrive.
At the alley entrance, two business vehicles and a Mercedes S400L were parked quietly.
As time passed by, Lin Tian found a stone to sit on, quietly waiting for Liu Chan and his men to arrive.
"This bastard is probably too scared to show up!" As time approached two in the afternoon and Liu Chan still hadn’t shown up, Lin Tian muttered to himself.
"Screech!"
Suddenly, a shrill braking sound was heard as two vans and a Mercedes pulled up at the alley entrance.
The Mercedes door opened, and the first to come out was a woman, dressed extravagantly. It was none other than the flamboyant Li Li.
High heels, black stockings, heavy makeup, she looked just like a demon.
Following her, a young man in a suit and leather shoes stepped out, his hair neat and shiny, with an aura that commanded attention, carrying a black leather briefcase under his right arm.
The front passenger door of the Mercedes opened, and out stepped an individual wrapped in bandages all over, even the face, looking just like a mummy.
"Are you Lin Tian?" The young man in the suit regarded Lin Tian from afar with a condescending gaze.
"You’re Liu Chan?" It was Lin Tian’s first time seeing his nemesis; he had to admit that Liu Chan was quite a dashing figure.
Standing at one meter seventy-eight, with a well-proportioned build and fair skin, he was the typical pretty face.
"I am your grandpa Liu Chan!" Liu Chan said smugly.
"Son of a bitch, you must be itching for a beating!" Lin Tian clenched his fists; the anger that’s been pent up inside him finally had an outlet today.
"Lin Tian, you truly are a loser. You can’t do anything right yourself, but you keep pissing off Mr. Liu time and again. Is it that you can’t stand seeing me living better than you?" Li Li immediately started cursing, pointing at Lin Tian’s nose.
"This has nothing to do with you, shut your damn mouth!" Lin Tian showed no mercy towards Li Li.
Li Li stomped her feet in anger: "I’ve really misjudged you; you’re not even a man!"
"Lin Tian, you’re all talk even with death staring you in the face!" Suddenly, the mummy opened its mouth.
Looking at the mummy, Lin Tian found him somewhat familiar, like he had seen him somewhere before.
After some thought, Lin Tian chuckled and said, "You must be Feng Biao, surely?"
"Hmph~ Looks like you still remember your grandpa here!" With Liu Chan backing him up, Feng Biao spoke without restraint.
"You must be itching for a beating too!" Lin Tian chuckled: "Want to bet that I’ll really turn you into a mummy later?"
"Mr. Liu, take him down!" Facing Lin Tian’s jeering, Feng Biao looked to Liu Chan with a pleading gaze.
"Lin Tian, don’t just run your mouth; I’m here today to tell you that whenever you see Liu Chan, you better call me grandpa and stay away!" Liu Chan arrogantly lifted his right hand and pointed at Lin Tian’s nose.
"Who the hell are you? Dare to speak to me like this?" Lin Tian was unimpressed with Liu Chan’s words. If it comes to a fight, so be it; he really didn’t regard Liu Chan as anything special.
"Fine, fine~ You’re tough!" Liu Chan waved his hand grandly, raising his voice suddenly: "Get out of the vehicles for me!"
Swish, swish...
The doors of the two vans opened, and immediately fifteen people stepped out, holding baseball bats and iron rods, each of them assembling behind Liu Chan, waiting for his command.
"Scared now?" Buoyed by the numbers, Liu Chan started boasting again: "I know you can fight, but can you take on so many people?"
"Before we talk about fighting or not, let’s discuss how we solve the problem between us?" Lin Tian crossed his arms, not feeling the slightest fear due to the number of people Liu Chan brought.
Even without Bai Shishi bringing people to back him up, Lin Tian didn’t consider Liu Chan and his men as a threat.
"Oh~ Now you want to solve the problem?" Liu Chan assumed Lin Tian was afraid due to his numbers, and he couldn’t help but start flaunting again.
"Cut the crap, I just don’t want to deal with a bothersome dog, so let’s settle this early!" Lin Tian sneered coldly.
