Chapter 642: Ambush
The video showed an ordinary apartment, a type that was ubiquitous in Kanyue City, making it nearly impossible to pinpoint the exact location.
Liou Qingcheng was sitting on a sofa, unharmed, with only two maids and a muscular woman in the room.
"Qingcheng, do you know where you are now?" Lin Tian asked.
Seeing Lin Tian, Liou Qingcheng seemed a bit agitated. She glanced around, then shook her head, "I don’t know, but for the time being I’m quite safe here. There are two maids; they’re quite tough, but they shouldn’t trouble me."
Lin Tian also noticed that. The muscles on these two women’s bodies were well-developed, one had long flowing hair, while the other had a neat short haircut. They clearly looked like they had spent time in a military camp.
Liou Qingcheng was about to say more when the phone was snatched by the short-haired woman.
"Hey beauty, that’s not very polite, we weren’t finished talking," Lin Tian shouted.
The short-haired woman expressionlessly, emotionlessly said, "You’ve seen her, she’s very safe. As for any other nonsense, we can discuss it in person in the future. I know you’re trying to buy time, hoping to have your people locate this place. Forget it, even if you had two hours, you wouldn’t be able to find us."
Lin Tian’s face twitched; his intentions were so easily seen through. How many men had this woman slept with to understand men’s thoughts so thoroughly?
"Beautiful, since you think I can’t find you, what harm is there in letting me talk to my girlfriend a bit longer?"
"To me, it’s meaningless, so forget it." The short-haired woman was like a robot, showing no emotion, but Lin Tian could see the murderous air around her eyebrows.
From Lin Tian’s intuitive judgment, this woman had killed before, and quite a lot.
What kind of people has that son of a bitch Qiao Gaoshan hired?
Suddenly, Lin Tian noticed the long-haired woman in the back. She was dressed in tight black clothes, with a black headband, equally expressionless.
Her image was very familiar to Lin Tian. Meichuan Kuzi used to dress like this as well.
Unfortunately, it was a video call. Lin Tian couldn’t use his X-ray vision; otherwise, he could have checked if the woman had any hidden weapons, as she really looked like a practitioner from Sakula Country.
"Can you let the beautiful lady behind you say a few words?"
The short-haired woman didn’t say anything, just directly cut off the video.
Lin Tian put away his phone, feeling uneasy. If that woman was indeed a practitioner, then the people from Sakula Country were definitely involved, and if they were from the Zhuge Clan, it would be even more troubling.
Lin Tian then asked Hawkeye, but there was no location detected, not even an approximate one.
"Damn it!" Lin Tian punched a tree, even leaving a deep fist mark on this century-old banyan tree, but it still didn’t quell the anger in his heart.
Soon, Qiao Gaoshan’s call came through.
"So how is it? Your girlfriend’s doing quite well, right? Can you come over to cure my son? Rest assured, as long as you wake him up, your girlfriend can appear in your bed again tonight," Qiao Gaoshan said with a grin.
Lin Tian’s mood was terrible at this moment, asking coldly, "Did you hire people from Sakula Country?"
"That I don’t know. I don’t care what country they’re from. I only know they are very efficient and good at what they do. They’re some decent business partners."
"Do you realize if they’re from Sakula Country, everything will spiral out of your control? Do you think they only want money?"
"You don’t need to talk nonsense with me, I’ve already hired them. What are you suggesting? Send them back where they came from? Do you think I’m an idiot? Is that even possible?"
Lin Tian cursed, "You’re a damn idiot!"
Insulted as an idiot, Qiao Gaoshan stopped laughing and angrily yelled, "Lin Tian! Watch your tone when talking to me! Your woman is still in my hands!"
"Don’t you believe that if anything happens to her, I’ll send your whole family to hell?"
"Lin Tian, what right do you have to be arrogant with me now? You think your threats mean anything to me? If you want to save your girlfriend, you’d better behave like a dog, wag your tail, bark a couple of times. If I’m in a good mood, I might just go easy on you."
Lin Tian barely restrained his anger from exploding again and asked coldly, "The location!"
"Hmph! See, wasn’t that easy? Yongxing Hospital, once you arrive, the receptionist will take you to the ward."
After getting the address, Lin Tian hung up the phone. He didn’t want to waste any more words on this old dog.
He used an app to call a taxi, sat in the car, opened the window, smoked one cigarette after another, his brows furrowed, his mind a mess.
Yongxing Hospital, a private hospital that required a VIP membership for treatment, offering premium services with naturally very high costs.
A doctor in a white coat, along with a nurse, approached him.
The doctor looked Lin Tian up and down, smiling, "You must be Mr. Lin Tian?"
Lin Tian nodded, not responding. He wasn’t wearing a mask now, making it easy for people to recognize him.
"Mr. Qiao had us waiting here for you. Please follow us."
The doctor and nurse walked ahead, leading Lin Tian, their attitude extremely polite, asked a few questions enthusiastically. But Lin Tian was in no mood to chat. Seeing he was getting no response, the doctor sensibly shut his mouth.
Upon reaching the ward door, a doctor opened the door and gestured for Lin Tian to enter.
Lin Tian walked in and only after stepping through the threshold did he realize the room had nothing but a table, completely empty otherwise.
Suddenly, he felt a pain in his waist as if something had bitten him.
Turning around, Lin Tian saw a doctor jab a syringe into him, and its content immediately flowed into his body.
In less than a second, his waist felt tingling as if ants were crawling over it.
Seeing this, Lin Tian reflexively kicked out, hitting the doctor in the stomach. A painful scream rang out as the doctor fell, howling a few agonizing cries before his eyes rolled back and he fainted, his whole body twitching.
The nurse, witnessing this, was trembling with fright, immediately waving her hands and saying, "It’s not my business, I don’t know anything."
Lin Tian had no time for him either, unsure of what poison was in that injection, his entire body feeling weak.
Spiritual Qi instantly circulated, forcing the injected liquid from his bloodstream, concentrating it into the Sea of Qi.
This process took about ten seconds. While Lin Tian was calmly circulating his Spiritual Qi, the nurse pulled out another syringe and mercilessly stabbed it towards Lin Tian’s chest.
