The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1196: Chapter 1196: Tong’s Miserable Plight

Zhao Qingtang didn’t let Lin Tian walk too fast, so the three of them were moving very slowly, which allowed them to listen to the little goat’s story in such detail.

After a short while, the little goat stopped in front of a door marked ’D Twenty-Seven’.

The cells in the Lion Pavilion are divided into four levels: A, B, C, and D, with D being the lowest and A being the highest. Those who can stay in the A-block are highly valued individuals. As for Tong and the others, it’s a relief they can even be locked up here, let alone in a D-block cell.

Lin Tian stood in front of the cell and took a glance inside. It was a small ten-square-meter room with two men and one woman, all looking haggard and spiritless.

Tong had lost her former radiance, her hair disheveled. Even the expensive clothes that needed regular maintenance had become filthy.

The other two men, Lin Tian recognized one immediately and had to think for a while to recognize the other: wasn’t this unlucky fellow LuuYong? Why was his face swollen like a pig’s head? Who was this ruthless person? They didn’t hit anywhere else, just the face?

Though he wasn’t good-looking, even talent scouts have their pride, don’t they?

As for the tall, burly man Lin Tian didn’t recognize, he was probably Wang Sicong’s driver, but he too was disheveled.

Clearly, during their days inside, the three of them had an awful time in that small room. Not only had dark circles appeared under their eyes, but they’d also visibly lost weight.

There was only one not-so-big bed in the room, and since the driver was tall and burly, he took up the bed, leaving Tong and LuuYong to sleep on the floor in misery.

Without Lin Tian saying a word, the little goat smartly stepped forward and unlocked the cell.

The three inside, hearing the noise, all turned their gazes over at the same time, and their expressions were very telling, full of fear and hope, very apprehensive.

”Lin Tian!”

Tong, seeing a familiar face, instantly replaced her apprehension with joy.

”Quick, get me out of here. I’ve been suffocating for days in this place!” Tong, feebly gripping the thick bars, wished she had monstrous strength to tear this damn place apart!

LuuYong was equally pleasantly surprised, grinning foolishly. He wanted to say something, but only managed to whimper and winced in pain.

As for the driver, he remained very apprehensive; after all, he was not familiar with Lin Tian, and his fate was still uncertain.

Lin Tian chuckled at Tong and walked in, asking, ”How have you been these past few days in here?”

”It’s been awful! This place is unfit for humans! I don’t even know why they locked the three of us in here. Apart from giving us some food and water every day, nobody cares about us. No matter how much I shout, no one pays attention. Please, get me out of here!”

As she spoke, Tong suddenly felt a swell of sadness, and she started to cry.

The little goat stood by, sneering disdainfully, ”It’s quite fortunate no one’s paying you any attention. Almost every prisoner in this loft has been tortured. Although it’s not as gruesome as what you see on TV, like skinning or inserting needles, the pain is no less. You’re quite lucky.”

Hearing this, Tong turned pale, her face changing thrice in fear, forgetting to cry as she pleaded to Lin Tian, ”Lin Tian, no... Mr. Lin! I’m begging you, get me out of here!”

Tong’s plea for rescue consistently focused on saving ’me’ and not ’us’, showing her selfishness.

Lin Tian maintained his smile, not giving a clear answer, only asking, ”You don’t know why you’re locked up here?”

Tong shook her head innocently, ”No idea.”

”Because you’ve been very close with Wang Sicong, who wanted to kill me. He failed, and that’s why you’re here. Have I made myself clear?” Lin Tian’s voice gradually turned cold, laced with killing intent, deeply unnerving.

Tong was stunned for a second, her thoughts racing. Once she recovered, she said, ”Wang Sicong invited me into his car just to talk about the Pandie contract! That’s all, nothing else! I have nothing to do with him!”

Lin Tian sneered. This woman’s acting was truly impressive, almost deceiving him.

”By the way, has Pandie woken up yet? How is she? Is she also thinking of a way to get me out?” Tong asked.

Lin Tian’s gaze grew colder. ”You actually have the nerve to ask? She still hasn’t woken up! This is all your doing!”

Finally, a surge of anger rose in Lin Tian’s heart. He shrugged off Zhao Qingtang’s support and delivered a swift kick to Tong’s abdomen!

Bang~

The sudden kick, with such force, sent Tong flying onto the bed in the corner, clutching her abdomen, her face flushed red, screaming like a cooked shrimp.

Even so, Lin Tian didn’t dare use too much force, fearing he might kick her to death.

”Lin Tian!” Zhao Qingtang was alarmed, ”You’re still injured! No more hitting.”

”I didn’t hit; I kicked. My chest is the only injured part, kicking is fine.” Lin Tian’s anger dissipated as he smiled at Zhao Qingtang. The speed of his change in expression left the little goat clicking his tongue in admiration.

”...” Zhao Qingtang glared harshly, ”No kicking either!”

”Alright, I’ll listen to you.”

Tong hunched over, looking at Lin Tian with hatred in her eyes! But in such circumstances, she dared not utter a harsh word, only trembling as she said, ”Pandie hasn’t woken up for so many days; surely everyone is looking for her. The news might already have leaked to the media. Let me out, and I can help deal with it.”

Lin Tian laughed; he was angry but laughing.

Even now, this foolish woman was still playing the emotion card. She wouldn’t give up until she hit rock bottom.

”Stop trying to fool me with your pitiful excuses, they’re full of holes! Do you really think I don’t know? The reason Pandie hasn’t woken up yet is because you fed her something messed up to please that Wang guy. The situation you’re in now is entirely your own doing.” Lin Tian unleashed a tirade of reprimanding, and, unable to control his anger, rushed forward to kick her hard again.

Zhao Qingtang watched with a furious expression, wasn’t he supposed to listen to me?

Ultimately, she could only sigh; this guy was truly beyond her control.

Tong, kicked and rolling twice, weakly and intermittently said, ”Mr. Lin... please let me explain, it’s not like that. Misunderstanding... it’s all a misunderstanding!”

”Misunderstanding?” Lin Tian sneered, ”I happen to have a witness who saw the whole process. Let’s hear what he has to say. If it really is a misunderstanding, I’ll not only let you go but also give you a large sum of money. If it’s not a misunderstanding, heh... you can guess the result, can’t you?”
