Chapter 966: Doing All One Can
It’s been two days since the last time Lin Tian treated Jin Guard.
During these two days, Lin Tian has been enjoying tranquility, staying at home and browsing through the alchemical formulas, Heart Method, and various cultivation technique manuals in "Tyrant Emperor’s Record".
If these things were disclosed, those ancient martial arts families would definitely go crazy.
Although Lin Tian was at home, he was well aware of the news from the outside world thanks to the intelligence networks of Heijin and the Xu Family.
Just yesterday, Nanqiu used Liu Mang as bait, trying to follow the clues to strike.
Liu Mang met the other party at a café, took the money, and left, but unexpectedly, just as he passed an alley, he was killed by someone. The killer was from Li’s group.
It’s the same old routine, burning bridges after crossing—even dead men’s mouths are safest.
Unexpectedly, he too was betrayed by Liu Mang, leading Nanqiu and others to follow the trail. That evening in a relatively remote slum, a not-small-scale battle occurred, reportedly resulting in a great victory for Nanqiu’s side, killing and capturing the adversaries.
The scene was handled very cleanly, so when the police arrived, they found nothing, allowing the matter to be quietly closed.
Last night, another heinous murder occurred.
The location was in the underground warehouse of Xintian Bar, and the deceased was Li Li.
The death was extremely gruesome, being raped and then killed, with many signs of beating on the body.
When Lin Tian learned of this incident, his mood was particularly complex. When he was dumped, he had thought of the most hateful method, which was to humiliate her with money and make her regret it deeply.
Lin Tian did it, but didn’t expect she would be killed so soon, and in such a miserable manner.
Fortunately, the murder happened in the warehouse, keeping too many people from knowing. The police sealed the site and information at the first instance, forming a task force to investigate the matter.
Unfortunately, the surveillance along the way provided no clues, so the police had to focus on the details, making the case-solving process very slow.
Currently, the suspects include a group who had previously pressured Li Li for debts.
The police investigated them and called them to take notes.
When those people left the police station, they were brutally beaten by a group of people dressed in black, holding wooden sticks, and ended up in the hospital. According to doctors, these people would need at least another month to recover.
The group in black was sent by Lin Tian through Wu Yong, how could he let his anger go unchecked?
No matter whether they killed Li Li, they had previously troubled her, so having someone beat them severely once counts as avenging her.
Moreover, Lin Tian and Li Li are from the same town, Li Li’s family is not well off, which is why she became a gold-digger.
Except for her, Li Li’s family also has a little brother over ten years old, and Lin Tian had someone send them a million yuan.
A million yuan means little to him now but is different for Li Li’s family.
Lin Tian did all he could, that counts as a good breakup, doing his utmost.
Additionally, another murder occurred this morning.
The deceased was also an old acquaintance of Lin Tian, Liu Mang’s son, Liu Chan.
The brat learned of his father’s murder, merely gave a statement to the police, then indulged in debauchery, partying, and hooking up with friends as soon as he left the police station.
According to Wu Yong, it was because his old man died that all his assets went to him, and the first thing he chose to do with the newfound wealth was to squander it.
After spending a night at a hotel, Liu Chan’s legs were weak as he walked out, holding two big white girls.
Later, he went to the police station again, and only then started preparing his father’s funeral.
Unexpectedly, while buying wreaths, his heart got stabbed directly, dying on the spot.
This outcome was quite ironic. The son buying wreaths for the father, then getting stabbed, following his father in death.
Liu Chan’s interpersonal relations were poor, and Liu Mang wasn’t any better. Nevertheless, there were always relatives, right? Their assets were inherited by relatives, who finally organized a brief funeral for them.
According to reliable intelligence, Liu Mang’s relatives divided the money and planned to cremate the father and son the next day, bury them randomly in a public cemetery, and call it done.
Hearing this result, Lin Tian found it both infuriating and amusing, with a hint of bleakness.
Those two were indeed peculiar, who knows how much evil they had done in their lifetime to end like this.
Of course, until now, none of these murder cases have been solved.
Later, Lin Tian found out that Li Li was murdered by a hitman hired by Liu Chan, though the reason remained unknown.
The group of assailants is a significant force in Kanyue City, having worked under Du Dahai, so Lin Tian had Wu Yong take care of them as well.
As for Liu Mang and Liu Chan, later indicated by Nanqiu, it was Li’s faction playing the ruthless bridge-burning and revenge game.
...
This day was Li Li’s cremation day.
Many came to mourn her, but Lin Tian didn’t go, feeling it unnecessary.
Furthermore, Lin Tian received a phone call from Nanqiu, saying the patient’s recovery was better than expected, seemingly exceeding the projected effect, asking Lin Tian to inspect again for any improvement.
Lin Tian made a visit, indeed finding the medicine from the Tang Family to be more effective than expected, with the patient in much better condition and most toxins expelling, though needing a few more days to wake up.
Moreover, Kanyue City Medical University is now bustling.
The more than two hundred students from Xiaocheng are excellent talents, their medical skills noticeably surpassing the average level of Kanyue City Medical University students.
It’s understandable since they are top students, if they weren’t exceptional, wouldn’t that mean Xuan Medicine had failed?
The reasoning is sound, everyone knows it.
Knowing it is one thing, but being unconvinced is another. These days, challenges keep occurring, mostly student versus student duels.
Among them, the most formidable in Xiaocheng is a girl named Xv Zhina, outstanding in diagnosis and pharmacology, making many teachers ashamed.
Li and Sisi, two academic stars, challenged her, both losing miserably, along with many Kanyue City Medical University students. Against Xv Zhina, nearly none have won.
Someone told Xv Zhina: "Don’t be arrogant! Our school’s Lin Tian isn’t here, otherwise you’d never get a chance!"
Facing such provoking words, Xv Zhina merely replied: "I’m not afraid of anyone; you say he’s great, but why haven’t I seen him? Could he be a coward?"
This indeed stirred up considerable anger among the locals, especially many girls who wished to tear Xv Zhina’s mouth. But under teachers’ guidance, no malicious incidents happened, maintaining a positive competitive environment.
However, recently, Liou Qingcheng seems supercharged, persistently urging Lin Tian to step in and teach that young girl a lesson, to dampen the Xiaocheng students’ arrogance!
