"What do you mean, Miss Mei? Our Yue Family is a legitimate ancient martial arts family; how could we do such a thing? Lin Tian obtained those medicinal herbs through his own strength. Isn’t it a matter of course for us to buy them from him?" said the representative of the Yue Family.

Lin Tian moved the chair back to its original position and said, "What if we don’t tell you?"

The representative of the Yue Family turned his head to look at him, meeting his gaze directly. Remembering this man’s terrifying strength just now, he couldn’t help but swallow and said, "I think the major families won’t give up and will use all kinds of means!"

Everyone present could understand this very clearly; it was a blatant threat!

"All kinds of means?" Repeating those four words, Lin Tian’s emotion suddenly became agitated.

The scope of these means was too vast, including parents, relatives, friends, and intimate companions.

When Lin Tian was stealing medicine from the pharmacy, he encountered both the Wang Family and the Yue Family collaborating with the people from Sakula Country, showing to what extent these two families had gone insane.

Wang Yi sat silently on the chair, his eyes fixed on Lin Tian. He could now basically confirm that this young man before him was Lin Tian!

It’s a pity he doesn’t know how this kid trained; his skills have advanced so quickly, otherwise, he could have taken him down directly now!

"Everyone!" Lin Tian suddenly stood up and looked around the room, saying, "Do you really intend to buy herbs from him?"

Immediately, everyone’s eyes focused on Wang Yi, since he had just said that.

"That’s right, that’s the case."

As Wang Yi answered, he looked into Lin Tian’s eyes to confirm once more.

Lin Tian’s eyes appeared clear, with whites like snow and pupils like ink, devoid of impurities, beautiful and spirited — definitely the kind of peach blossom eyes that women would love and envy!

These were eyes Wang Yi had only seen on Lin Tian; who else could it be but Lin Tian?

Upon hearing Wang Yi’s response, Lin Tian suddenly smiled, making everyone except for Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan feel creepy. That smile was just too unsettling!

"Since you want to do business with Tian ge, whether the deal goes through or not, we can maintain our friendship. But we don’t know where Tian ge is now. You can leave your address, name, and home address, and when Tian ge returns, he will visit each of you."

This speech, this tone, coupled with that unsettling expression.

This wasn’t cooperation; it was clearly a threat!

Who knows what your visit entails?

At that moment, the secretary standing by the door came over and placed a notebook and a branded fountain pen in front of Lin Tian.

"Thank you." Lin Tian nodded slightly at the secretary with a smile, then flung the notebook and pen in front of Wang Yi, saying, "Then you go first."

Since it was Wang Yi who spoke, naturally, he should take the lead.

Wang Yi hesitated for a moment but finally picked up the pen and started writing in the notebook, then passed it to the next person.

Naturally, nobody was willing to do this, so all the hatred was directed at Wang Yi. If it weren’t for this guy speaking recklessly, things wouldn’t have come to this.

But on second thought, there’s also an advantage to this. When the time comes, lay a trap at home and capture Lin Tian alive, making him hand over all the herbs — wouldn’t that be a great achievement?

Many people had this thought, so their resentment towards Wang Yi wasn’t as strong anymore.

But they didn’t realize that after they had set everything up at home, several days passed without any sign of Lin Tian. Of course, those are stories for another time.

When the notebook returned to Lin Tian’s hands after they finished writing, Lin Tian glanced through it. He found that all the addresses were from Luoyan Dock — if he went there, it was obviously a dead end.

Lin Tian, without changing his expression, handed the notebook to Bai Shishi and then laughed, "Alright, if there’s nothing else, everyone can leave now."

Can leave?

Everyone looked at each other with eyes full of surprise.

Just leave? Wasn’t this trip a waste then?

Even though many were unwilling, after Wang Yi took the lead in leaving, the others also left one after another.

After everyone left, Bai Shishi glanced around, then asked seriously, "Are you two hiding something from me?"

Bai Shishi looked at Mei Ruyan, who then directed her gaze to Lin Tian.

"Hehe." Lin Tian chuckled a bit, scratched his head, and said, "We’ll talk about this later. Right now, there’s a more pressing matter that we need to handle first."

"What?" the two women asked in unison, indicating that it was indeed something grave to be deemed serious by Lin Tian.

"Keep Wang Yi here!" Lin Tian said in a deep voice.

"Why?" Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian, her eyes blinking like a curious child.

Lin Tian said, "The way he just looked at me, I think he has guessed my identity. We can’t let him go!"

"So what if he’s guessed it? Are we afraid of him?" Bai Shishi said indifferently.

Lin Tian shook his head with a smile, "I’m not afraid of him; I’m more concerned about those families targeting me. If that happens, I might have to hide abroad for a while."

Lin Tian knew well the greed those people had for these rare medicinal herbs; no one would pass up this opportunity.

Bai Shishi was taken aback, her mouth wide open, "It’s that serious?"

"Yes!"

"But... how do we keep him? Last time at the Celestial Dragon Hotel’s rooftop, I experienced it; that old guy can run and fight."

Lin Tian lightly tapped the table with his fingers, smiling, "We don’t have to hold a gun to his head; we could use strategy."

"Strategy?"

...

As soon as Wang Yi left the Xianglong Tea House, he got into the car and took out his phone to tell Wang Ping everything he had seen and heard.

Just as he was about to make the call, someone suddenly knocked on his car window.

He turned his head to see a young girl about twenty years old. Even though her body was wrapped in a thick winter coat, the large bosom in front of her was striking.

The girl’s facial features were beautiful and striking, especially her eyes, full of allure, as if they could speak, looking pitifully at him.

This level of beauty could definitely rival those vixens from the Xu Family.

Unfortunately, he could only dream of people from the Xu Family from a distance. Being lifelong enemies, there was no chance of enjoying any closeness.

But this beauty in front of him was different; she was offering herself!

Wang Yi rolled down the car window, cold wind mixed with snowflakes hitting his face, but he didn’t mind, his attention focused on the girl before him.
