Chapter 429: Young Thief
"I’m not interested." Lin Tian refused without even thinking.
Student council vice president and Wind Snow Gang?
Lin Tian had no interest at all. Joining these would be a waste of time; I’d rather spend time practicing more.
Li Tianmu hadn’t spoken yet, but the four people behind him started shouting.
"Don’t be so ungrateful."
"Don’t refuse a toast only to drink a penalty. Do you know how many people broke their heads to fight for the vice president position?"
Lin Tian smiled lightly and said disdainfully, "Let them fight for it then."
The four still wanted to say something but were stopped by Li Tianmu waving his hand.
He didn’t want to make an enemy of Lin Tian and already knew he had no interest in the small Wind Snow Gang, but how would he know unless he tried?
"I know you have a grudge against Liu Chan." Li Tianmu said.
"Then what?"
"I can help you deal with him."
Lin Tian squinted his eyes, "Just to get Qingcheng and me to join this Wind Snow Gang?"
Li Tianmu nodded honestly.
"That’s not enough; I don’t have much time."
"Liu Chan’s father is not simple. Helping you deal with him is not enough? As for joining the Wind Snow Gang and student council, you don’t need to do anything, just join. There are only benefits for you without any downsides."
Lin Tian looked at him puzzled, "Why do you want both of us to join?"
"Because you two are very popular in school right now. If you join, it will lead more students to join."
Of course, this is just one of the reasons. Li Tianmu didn’t tell the truth.
"I’ve also heard about the Feihong Association. What’s the relationship between them and your Wind Snow Gang?" Lin Tian asked.
Li Tianmu furrowed his brows but quickly relaxed and said, "We are mortal enemies. Why, you want to join them?"
Lin Tian laughed, "If I join Feihong Association, does that mean I can’t join Wind Snow Gang?"
Li Tianmu nodded, "Theoretically, yes. But if you want to be a mole, you can. We both have moles in each other’s gangs. But I think you’re not interested in that, right?"
"Not interested in either, but—if you help me settle things with Liu Chan and his dad, I might consider joining." Lin Tian smiled, "If I’m satisfied, I can even introduce Bai Shishi to you."
After speaking, Lin Tian linked arms with Liou Qingcheng and walked around Li Tianmu, heading off-campus. Thinking to himself, "Just let them fight among themselves."
Watching Lin Tian and Liou Qingcheng leave, Li Tianmu felt ecstatic, unexpectedly Lin Tian brought up wanting to know Bai Shishi before he did.
That’s a good sign!
Li Tianmu turned around, looked at the five people behind him, and said, "Go find out if you can get a handle on Liu Mang, and if not, create one for him. Also, tonight, find some people to beat Liu Chan wearing the headgear and tell him you are from the Feihong Association."
All five people laughed and patted their chests, saying, "Don’t worry, boss, we’ll get it done!"
"What exactly does that Li Tianmu want?" Liou Qingcheng asked.
"Don’t know, let him be. If he’s willing to help me deal with Liu Chan, I’m more than happy. Let them fight."
Liou Qingcheng rolled her eyes at him, knowing Lin Tian was up to something bad again.
Since picking gifts for Liou Qingcheng’s parents, the school’s shopping mall naturally wasn’t fancy enough, as things there were quite affordable and not suitable for presenting to future in-laws.
The two hailed a taxi at the school gate and went to a Global Trade shopping mall in the city center.
"What do your parents like?" Lin Tian looked at the dazzling array of goods before them, feeling truly headache-inducing.
He had just spent a long time searching online in the car, to no avail.
Liou Qingcheng raised her head and thought for a while; it seemed this issue was challenging for her too.
"My dad likes meat and liquor, as for my mom, she likes cosmetics and cute things; anything else is a mystery, as she changes her preferences regularly."
Lin Tian couldn’t help but roll his eyes at her; how was this different from not telling him?
"Forget it, let’s buy some health supplements first; giving those to your dad upon discharge seems fitting. Then we can browse more."
Liou Qingcheng didn’t have any objections to Lin Tian’s suggestion, as wherever they shopped, she could find joy.
Before reaching the health product section, Liou Qingcheng dragged Lin Tian into a store specializing in branded clothing.
"Aren’t you not fond of dressing up? Why such a love of buying clothes?" Lin Tian asked.
Liou Qingcheng smiled brightly and hummed, "You don’t understand. Loving beauty is a woman’s nature. I don’t wear makeup because I find it troublesome, and even without it, I can outshine many."
Lin Tian and the service staff beside them were speechless...
Liou Qingcheng shopped for quite a while but didn’t linger in the women’s section, only glancing and then dragging Lin Tian to the men’s section to pick out clothes.
"You’re buying clothes for me?" Lin Tian asked puzzled.
Liou Qingcheng nodded, "Yeah, you’re meeting my parents soon; we need to pick a few outfits."
"I think what I’m wearing is fine."
"Listen to me!" Liou Qingcheng said, leaving no room for refusal.
Helplessly, Lin Tian let her choose. When seeing the prices, a single short-sleeve shirt cost three thousand nine, feeling comparable to what he was wearing. Spending money shouldn’t be like this...
However, seeing Liou Qingcheng’s happiness, Lin Tian didn’t oppose, and after all, it was just eight pieces...
The final bill amounted to thirty-five thousand. Of course, Lin Tian paid. Liou Qingcheng didn’t argue with him but humorously said, "After all, your money is my money, so let’s say I bought these."
Carrying the clothing bags, they came to the health product counter, ultimately choosing a box of American ginseng. Then they went to other shops to buy two cans of Wuyi Rock Tea and a box of nuts.
Finally, they turned to a jewelry store, planning to gift Liou Qingcheng’s parents a pair of couple watches and rings.
Lin Tian didn’t know how to pick such things, so he let Liou Qingcheng handle it while he aimlessly looked around.
Suddenly, he noticed a very suspicious person.
It was a young man with long bangs covering half of his face.
The young man was standing at a counter, with several diamond rings displayed before him. The service assistant selling the rings was happily introducing a ring.
However, the young man seemed dissatisfied; he pointed at a ring in the glass counter, indicating the assistant to take it out and check.
The assistant didn’t suspect anything and reached inside the glass counter to retrieve the ring.
At that moment, the young man examined a diamond ring on the counter, then reached out to touch it, flipped his fingers, and put the real diamond ring back.
Others couldn’t see clearly, but Lin Tian saw it crystal-clear; the young man swapped a fake diamond ring for the real one.
The sleight of hand was incredible; if Lin Tian hadn’t had a special vision, it would have been impossible to discern.
