The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 809: Chapter 809: He Was Like a Giant

The journey back to the villa was thrilling yet uneventful, with nothing happening at all.

However, Lin Tian was sure that the old man, the Grand Elder, was surely lurking in some corner at this moment.

After a whole night of fun, it was indeed enjoyable, but also incredibly exhausting. Everything bought from the mall was neatly placed in the living room by the housekeeper, yet even so, it was piled up like a small mountain.

As for whether the housekeeper had secretly hidden some items away, Lin Tian had no idea.

It turned out these women only had a shopping addiction. After glancing at the stuff a few times upon returning home, they all went back to their rooms.

Liou Qingcheng returned to her room, took a shower and changed into clean pajamas, then immediately fell asleep, leaving Lin Tian with no opportunity to take advantage.

Other than the Grand Elder’s interruption, everything was calm today.

The next morning, it was as if the four women had made a pact, all leaving the villa.

Liou Qingcheng went to school; with nearly half a month left until the holiday, she had fallen behind in her studies and needed to catch up, or Zhao Xuefeng wouldn’t let her pass easily.

Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan returned to the company. According to Bai Shishi: ”Sister is a busy person, no time to hang out with a little brother like you.”

Since everyone was leaving, Xu Ning’an also decided to leave, and she was the first to do so.

”Your leg hasn’t healed yet, and you want to return to the police station? I don’t agree!” Lin Tian blocked Xu Ning’an’s path.

Xu Ning’an looked up at him and suddenly smiled, ”I’m not going back to the police station, I’m going back to Mingzhu.”

This confused Lin Tian, ”Your dad isn’t in Mingzhu, why are you going back?”

”Precisely because he’s not there I need to return! Although he’s held the underground world in Mingzhu under control for years, I know many are eyeing it with greed. With his absence, who knows what might happen. If I return now, I might be able to stabilize the situation somewhat.” Xu Ning’an said resolutely.

Lin Tian looked her up and down, smiling, ”And what can a little girl like you do when you go back?”

”Who are you calling a little girl? I’m three years older than you! You should call me sis, got it?” Xu Ning’an blinked her long eyelashes as she spoke firmly, ”I’m my dad’s only daughter. I do have some say in the company.”

”Alright then, since you say so, I’ll have someone escort you back—alone, I would be worried.” Lin Tian said.

Though it sounded casual, to Xu Ning’an, it had a different tone.

”Fine.” She responded softly with her head down, ”No need, someone from the company is already here to pick me up, they’ve been waiting outside the villa for a long time, don’t worry, I’ll be safe.”

Lin Tian nodded, thinking it made sense. How could the princess of the Vast Sea Gang not have someone picking her up?

”Be careful on the road.” Lin Tian said.

”Mm... I’ll be back soon, let me know if you need any help.”

Lin Tian smiled and said, ”Just take care of your leg injury, and that alone would be the biggest help to me.”

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning’an also smiled. Then she playfully punched Lin Tian on the shoulder with her small fist and said, ”Alright, I’m off, and if I need anything, I won’t be shy about it.”

Xu Ning’an waved to Lin Tian and walked out dragging her suitcase.

Lin Tian watched her back, also waved his hand.

After Xu Ning’an left, Lin Tian turned around to see Bai Shishi standing behind him with a smiling face.

”Won’t you personally see her off?” Bai Shishi asked with a smile.

”No, someone’s picking her up outside.” Lin Tian answered truthfully.

”Hmph.” Bai Shishi withdrew her smile with a light huff.

The expression of a woman’s jealousy was obvious, and Bai Shishi’s jealous demeanor was even more so.

Normally, it wouldn’t be a big deal, but when Liou Qingcheng was still around! If she saw this, wouldn’t it cause trouble?

”Later, I need to go to the company with you, and I should tidy up quickly.” Lin Tian said.

This puzzled Bai Shishi, ”Why are you going to the company? For work? I don’t buy it. You didn’t even know how many days you skipped work when you were an employee, and today you’re actually going to the company?”

”Yeah, I haven’t been there in ages, got nothing else to do, so I figured I’d drop by. Plus, we’re about to collaborate with the military, so I want to get the lowdown.”

In reality, Lin Tian intended to keep an eye on that Grand Elder guy. Who knows when that old rascal might suddenly show up?

”Alright, I reluctantly believe your excuse.”

”So when should we leave?” Lin Tian asked.

”I can go anytime.” Bai Shishi replied.

”Then let’s go, and drop Qingcheng off at school first.” Lin Tian suggested.

...

After dropping Liou Qingcheng off at school, Lin Tian drove straight to Xianglong Tea House.

The three of them entered the company building, and just as they stepped into the lobby, a secretary came up to them. Standing in front of Bai Shishi, she respectfully said, ”Mr. Bai, representatives from Wang Group, Ancient Dynasty Culture, and Yue Family Global arrived early this morning and are waiting for you in the conference room.”

”Do you know why they’re here this time?” Bai Shishi asked.

”Not yet, they wouldn’t say, but judging by their demeanor, they don’t seem well-intentioned.”

Bai Shishi nodded and was the first to head towards the conference room.

Lin Tian and Mei Ruyan exchanged a glance, both furrowing their brows in displeasure. Those three companies were clearly owned by those ancient martial arts families; there’s surely no good purpose in meeting with Bai Shishi.

”What should we do?” Mei Ruyan hesitated for a moment before saying, ”Maybe I shouldn’t go? I don’t want to cause trouble for Shishi.”

”Don’t worry, we’ll deal with whatever comes our way. Let’s go see. I refuse to believe they can stir up any major trouble here.” Lin Tian gave Mei Ruyan an encouraging glance.

Since childhood, Mei Ruyan had nurtured a fearless personality. She even once ventured into a thug’s bar with Lin Tian alone, which was extremely reckless for a beauty like her. But she did it anyway, because of her fearlessness.

Now she wanted to back down because she didn’t want to cause trouble for Bai Shishi and the Xu Family. But Lin Tian’s encouraging look was like a spark that reignited the fearless fire in her character.

”Let’s go.” Lin Tian extended his hand, tugging her arm as they boldly strode forward.

In the past, Mei Ruyan might have flung Lin Tian’s hand away due to her personality. But this time, she didn’t; instead, she trustingly followed behind him, looking at his back.

He seemed like a giant.
