Chapter 315: Are You Still a Man?
Murder Bai Jiaming?
Were you involved?
Bai Tianlong’s words left Bai Shishi speechless.
"Dad! What are you saying? I don’t understand!" Bai Shishi asked, utterly confused.
"Don’t understand?" Bai Tianlong sneered, "If you don’t understand, then ask your boyfriend Lin Tian!"
Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian with a dazed expression and murmured, "Lin Tian! What’s going on?"
"Miss Bai, I’m sorry!" Lin Tian said apologetically.
Because he could feel from Bai Shishi’s emotions that she was very saddened by Bai Jiaming’s death.
"Did you kill Bai Jiaming?" Even if Bai Shishi was foolish, she could discern the implicit meaning in her father’s words.
"I didn’t kill him; he brought it upon himself!" Lin Tian answered truthfully.
"I just asked if you killed him!" Bai Shishi repeated the question again.
Lin Tian was silent, looking at Bai Shishi, and for the first time, she seemed so unfamiliar to him, as if they were strangers.
Lin Tian took a deep breath and nodded: "Yes!"
"Why did you kill him? Even if he was wrong, you shouldn’t have killed him?" Bai Shishi screamed at Lin Tian hysterically.
This was the first time Bai Shishi had lost her temper with Lin Tian, and it was such a big outburst.
"I..." Lin Tian felt very wronged.
I didn’t kill Bai Jiaming; I did it all for you. He brought it upon himself.
But why do you still blame me so much?
So wronged, extremely wronged.
To the point that Lin Tian didn’t want to argue anymore.
"Shishi, is this the kind of man you still want to make your fiancé?"
Bai Tianlong was pleased to see this situation. If Bai Shishi truly abandoned Lin Tian, it would be as easy as crushing an ant to deal with him.
"No!" Bai Shishi shook her head, her eyes instantly wet with tears.
Bai Jiaming’s tragic death indeed made her very sad.
But what saddened Bai Shishi more was that Lin Tian had actually laid a hand on her brother.
She didn’t know about this at all and was entirely kept in the dark.
Even though Bai Jiaming always wanted the Xianglong Tea House, his offense wasn’t worth a death sentence, was it?
This was why Bai Shishi was so furious.
Because Lin Tian’s actions had exceeded her control and her imagination.
Vaguely remembered Xiaogang’s words: If Lin Tian couldn’t be controlled in the end, he must be killed.
Now, it seemed those words were coming true.
It also made Bai Shishi secretly afraid, wondering if one day Lin Tian, while by her side, would suddenly kill her?
"Miss Bai, I’m sorry!" Lin Tian said apologetically.
He really didn’t expect Bai Shishi to react this way upon hearing about Bai Jiaming’s death.
He had envisioned countless scenarios, but never this one.
The actions and words of Bai Shishi etched into his mind word by word.
Making his heart ache faintly.
"Shishi, now that the truth is out, this person is yours to deal with as you please!" Bai Tianlong said viciously.
Right now, Lin Tian was surrounded by black-clad gunmen; as long as Bai Shishi gave the word, Lin Tian would definitely meet a tragic end under the gun barrels.
In an instant, Lin Tian’s whole body tensed up; the situation had now spiraled beyond his control...
Bai Shishi, through tear-filled eyes, stared at Lin Tian, seeing the person she was once closest to now felt so foreign.
She recalled the moments when Lin Tian had heroically saved her again and again.
She remembered the scenes of Lin Tian’s shameless antics time after time.
She thought of the times she took care of Lin Tian when he lay in the hospital bed.
Blinking twice, Bai Shishi sighed, "Let him go!"
Upon hearing this, the black-clad men around her were all shocked, and simultaneously, all eyes turned to Bai Tianlong.
Because Bai Tianlong was the one who truly had the authority to decide.
"Since my daughter has spoken, then go!" Bai Tianlong said, seemingly addressing Lin Tian but actually informing the people around.
Lin Tian’s taut muscles relaxed, and he looked at Bai Shishi, wanting to explain: "Miss Bai, I..."
"No need to say anything!" Bai Shishi tossed out a bank card: "This is your salary for the past few months, plus all the money you left with me!"
Looking at the bank card in Bai Shishi’s hand, Lin Tian’s lips curled into a wry smile: "Miss Bai, no need to give me the money. I understand what you mean."
Lin Tian turned and walked away, striding as he looked at the smug faces of the Bai Family around him, suppressing the endless grievances, and stepped out of the Bai family’s door.
From the moment Bai Shishi took out the bank card, it signified that she and Lin Tian had parted ways.
From then on, Lin Tian was no longer Bai Shishi’s employee, and Bai Shishi was no longer Lin Tian’s boss!
Walking out of the Bai house, Lin Tian looked up at the sky, suddenly feeling that everything he had done before was in vain.
No cultivation, just busy with trivial things for a woman.
Worked tirelessly, only to end up with nothing in the end.
This was damn well reality.
Taking out a cigarette, Lin Tian smoked heavily.
Chain-smoking, walking and smoking.
When the last cigarette was finished, Lin Tian flicked the butt far into a trash can.
"Maybe I’m just not destined to be involved with women in this life!" Lin Tian chuckled bitterly to himself.
Li Li’s betrayal.
Bai Shishi’s disbelief.
Every time he invested real emotions, he ended up with sadness and grievance.
Experiencing heartache each time, it was better not to get involved with women anymore.
This was Lin Tian’s solemn vow, never to get involved with women again, any women, no matter how beautiful!
"Sigh..." Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian shook his head, preparing to drown his sorrows in alcohol and forget everything.
The Bai family!
Bai Shishi hid at home for three days and nights without stepping out, crying bitterly in her room the first day.
On the second day, she looked at past photos on her phone, laughing and crying, and then finally deleted them.
On the third day, Bai Shishi regained her former career woman demeanor, left the Bai house, and threw herself wholeheartedly into work to temporarily forget the person who broke her heart.
As for Lin Tian, he drank every night and slept randomly somewhere during the day.
This continued for a week until one night, lying drunk on the bar floor.
Listening to the raucous music, as Lin Tian drifted to sleep, a disappointed voice rose from within him: "If I had known you would be such a coward and weak man, I would never have chosen you!"
"Who are you?" Lin Tian shouted, his mouth reeking of alcohol.
Those around him, seeing Lin Tian like this, smirked as if watching a drunkard.
"I am the one who gave you everything, wanting you to cultivate well and avenge me, and what was the result?"
The person chuckled self-deprecatingly: "Every day you either flaunt or boast, and now you’ve turned yourself into a half-human, half-ghost for a woman!"
"Are you still a man?"
"Nonsense, of course, I’m a man!" Lin Tian shouted.
"I see you’re not even as good as a dog!"
