Chapter 703: The Whereabouts of Bai Wuchang
After finishing the discussion at the milk tea shop, everyone dispersed, and Zhou Mi took Zhou Tang’s car back.
As for Jiang Pan Die, she was sent back to the hotel by Lin Tian.
"Really not coming out to play one more day tomorrow? I’m leaving soon." Jiang Pan Die blinked her long eyelashes, looking so charmingly cute that Lin Tian wanted to give her a big kiss.
"Not playing anymore, I’m not as free as you, a big celebrity."
"You do remember I’m a celebrity? Others wish they had a chance to hang out with me, but you don’t cherish the opportunity at all."
Lin Tian pursed his lips and laughed, "Next time, next time when I have time, I’ll play with you."
"You said it." After speaking, she took out her phone, opened a recording app, and said, "Say it again, I’ll record it to prevent you from regretting."
Lin Tian was amused yet helpless, so he repeated himself.
Only then did Jiang Pan Die get out of the car, satisfied, and walked towards the hotel.
Lin Tian just watched her return to the hotel, and after she went inside, he drove off.
Just as Lin Tian’s car left, Jiang Pan Die poked her head out from the hotel’s entrance like a puppet, watching the car disappear from sight.
The next day, Lin Tian spent the whole day in Liou Qingcheng’s hospital room, alternating between cultivating and looking after her.
By evening, the underground world of Kanyue City began a major shake-up.
This shake-up had only one purpose: a warning!
If anyone dared to use Black Gold Company’s name to swindle or bully, the consequences would be severe.
There was one example: Just yesterday, the ’Money Money Money’ bar was thoroughly smashed, and the security guards inside are still lying in hospital beds, so they escaped part of the ordeal.
This matter wasn’t huge but wasn’t trivial either. Yet, it stirred up a storm in Kanyue City’s underworld. Previously, Black Gold only set rules on what could and couldn’t be done, never taking action.
But because Black Gold even annexed Xianglong Tea House, its power was immense, and no one dared provoke it. So even if they hadn’t acted before, smaller forces complied with the rules.
But today, Black Gold took action! And with thunderous force!
In just a few minutes, the entire bar was trashed beyond recognition.
In reality, they just damaged some fixtures and furniture; the liquor on the shelves wasn’t touched at all.
After all, it was just a warning, no need to go overboard.
The bar owner didn’t dare say much about the incident, as leaving the liquor intact was already considerate. Seeking trouble further would be asking for more suffering.
As for Zhou Tang, he joined Black Gold. However, he continued his old trade in the black market, selling whatever he wanted.
Simultaneously, he took on an additional task: gathering intelligence.
Of course, at first, he didn’t know how to collect it, so Wu Yong sent two resourceful brothers from Pang Yu’s group to help Zhou Tang find his way.
Don’t underestimate the black market; it’s a mixed bag of characters, but its gold content is significant.
Another night went by, and Lin Tian had been cultivating for two nights and a day. The results were significant; the fifth of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, the ’Chong Meridian,’ was one-third opened.
This was an astonishing speed without the use of medication.
The Chong Meridian is a major meridian in the human body. It regulates the blood and Qi of the twelve meridians, also known as the sea of the twelve meridians.
If this meridian opens, the effects are enormous, as Lin Tian’s recovery and absorption of Spiritual Qi would be more than twice as fast as before.
If it weren’t so remarkably effective, how could it be considered one of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians?
Since the cultivation was happening in the hospital room, Lin Tian’s process was naturally seen by Yan Xinrou and Liou Zhengming.
The explanation he gave them was: "Much of my medical skills rely on Qi Gong, so this is one of my compulsory courses."
To this explanation, the two didn’t question further; their primary concern was Liou Qingcheng’s current health condition.
So far, Liou Qingcheng’s health had been checked three times and was no longer as weak as before.
In this situation, it was the doctors who were most puzzled, with one even asking: "What are you feeding the patient? How can she be lying down all day and still be in such good condition?"
To the doctor’s question, Yan Xinrou only said one sentence: "It’s Lin Tian helping with her recuperation."
Lin Tian was now absolutely a celebrity in the medical field. Mentioning him, the doctor was appeased.
Additionally, Xu Ning’an was also recovering well; his bones were gradually healing, and the hole in the middle of his skull, where the bullet had pierced, was now much smaller.
Everything was developing in a positive direction.
In the early morning, while Lin Tian was cultivating, his phone suddenly rang; it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Lin Tian, it’s me, Qiao Gaoshan."
Hearing this name, a sneer appeared on Lin Tian’s lips. Then, to avoid disturbing Liou Qingcheng’s rest, he walked to the balcony and asked with a smile, "What’s up? Are you looking for more foundation-fortifying medicine? Your egg has been busted for days; there’s basically no saving it."
In fact, Lin Tian knew that this old guy wasn’t calling for this reason; it was most likely for Qiao Jiang.
Last time when treating Qiao Jiang, Lin Tian had deliberately left some Spiritual Qi in his body to prevent Qiao Gaoshan from being disobedient.
Calculating the time, Qiao Jiang’s time of illness should have arrived.
Mentioning his own egg made Qiao Gaoshan’s face darken; it was a thorn in his heart, each mention was heart-wrenching.
"Lin Tian! Let’s not mince words, Qiao Jiang has fainted again; is it your doing?" Qiao Gaoshan asked through clenched teeth.
Lin Tian laughed, "That’s right, it was me, what can you do about it?"
Provocation! Naked provocation!
Yet Qiao Gaoshan really couldn’t do anything to him!
"Lin Tian, let’s cut the crap. I know you won’t treat my son for nothing. So, I’m willing to exchange an intelligence report with you."
Lin Tian grew interested, "Let’s hear it, what intel?"
"Haven’t you been looking for Bai Wuchang and those Sakula Country cultivators lately? I can help you find them, but first, you need to cure my son." Qiao Gaoshan said, lowering his stance.
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian was puzzled, "Are you saying, you can help me find Bai Wuchang? Aren’t you boasting? So many people on my end can’t find him; why can you?"
"Don’t worry about how I can, I say I can, but first, you have to cure my son’s illness!"
"Treating the illness is a minor thing, but why should I trust you?"
"With your skills, you can save my son or harm him. Haven’t you done so before? The initiative has always been yours; what good is it to me to deceive you?" Qiao Gaoshan said helplessly.
Lin Tian nodded, "Alright, I’ll trust you this time then."
