CHAPTER 42: CHAPTER 40: BREAKING INTO THE SHI FAMILY

The Harley roared across the desolate provincial highway, with the wind whistling around Lin Bingxuan’s face, yet without the slightest chill.

Burying her face in her man’s broad back, even after experiencing life and death, she still felt endlessly secure.

Xiao Tian, feeling the warmth behind him, smiled knowingly.

Before long, Xiao Tian drove Lin Bingxuan back to their place.

He parked the bike, opened the door, and the two of them sat on the sofa together.

"Xiao Tian, who exactly is trying to deal with you?"

"Just a few clowns, nothing to worry about." Xiao Tian smiled and tightened his grip around Lin Bingxuan a little.

Lin Bingxuan knew Xiao Tian didn’t want to talk much, so she didn’t ask further and buried her head in his arms.

"Growl!"

Just as the two of them were having a tender moment, a noise rudely interrupted.

"Hungry?"

"Wait here, I’ll make you something to eat."

With that, Lin Bingxuan gracefully walked into the kitchen and put on an apron.

Watching her busy silhouette in the kitchen, Xiao Tian’s heart was full of warmth.

Though the Heart Demon was gone, his obsession ran deeper.

If Han Yan’s death had made Xiao Tian despondent, even leaning towards misanthropy,

Lin Bingxuan’s appearance had reignited his fighting spirit!

He didn’t want the tragedy of Han Yan to befall Lin Bingxuan again.

Dare to touch my woman!

Ce Shi, you must die!

"Latest reports state that a lot of young girls have gone missing in our city today. Parents, please keep a close eye on your children and try not to let them go out alone."

At this moment, Shanghai Satellite TV broke in with some news.

The news then showed a couple, the woman was sitting on the curb crying heartbrokenly, while the man was holding up a photograph.

The little girl in the photo had eyes that seemed to speak, and her delicate face suggested she would be a stunning beauty when grown up.

Below the photo, there was a phone number and a sentence.

"We ask the kind-hearted to help. If you see the girl in the picture, please contact the number above immediately, heavy reward offered!!!"

The words were plain, and they didn’t specify how heavy the reward was, but those final three huge, blood-red exclamation points conveyed the desperation.

Xiao Tian frowned at the couple on TV, recognizing them as the ones who reported the case at the police station this morning.

Recently, there had indeed been many missing persons cases at the police station, all concerning young girls around twelve or thirteen, sparking some doubts in his mind.

While many, lured by great profit, engaged in human trafficking, those people were generally active in remote mountains or economically backward areas, never daring to be so active in a first-tier city.

Xiao Tian sensed the scent of a conspiracy.

"Auntie!"

Just then, the door opened, and a young girl walked in.

"Who are you?"

Le Yaoyao looked curiously at Xiao Tian sitting on the sofa and asked.

With a good memory, Xiao Tian instantly recalled and recognized her as Lin Bingxuan’s little sister from the airport!

"Hello, little beauty!"

"I remember now, you are the uncle from the airport who punctured the taxi tire. Why are you in my aunt’s home?"

Le Yaoyao looked suspiciously at Xiao Tian.

"Yaoyao, why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to have classes today?"

Just then, Lin Bingxuan came out with a frying ladle in her hand, apron on her body, looking every bit the homely woman.

"Auntie, quick, run away, there’s a thief in your house."

Le Yaoyao wildly signaled at Lin Bingxuan and, using what she thought was a whisper but was loud enough for the entire house to hear, shouted to Lin Bingxuan.

Xiao Tian was speechless!

Do I really look like a burglar?

Are there burglars this handsome?

"What are you saying!" Lin Bingxuan shook her head, speechless.

"This is Xiao Tian, he’s my friend."

"Xiao Tian, this is my niece, Le Yaoyao."

Lin Bingxuan introduced the two to each other.

"Yaoyao, you haven’t eaten either, right? I just made noodles, so you have some too."

"Auntie, I came here today just to try your cooking. I’m almost sick of the cafeteria food."

Le Yaoyao and Xiao Tian went into the kitchen, with Xiao Tian taking up the best spot!

This annoyed Le Yaoyao, who suddenly jumped onto Xiao Tian’s back.

That pair of giant ’weapons’ immediately pressed against Xiao Tian’s back.

36!

C!

A number and an English letter popped into Xiao Tian’s mind!

What has this girl been eating to grow this well?

How did she develop so well?

Considering she’s his sister-in-law, and Lin Bingxuan was nearby, Xiao Tian couldn’t be too overbearing and had to give up his position!

After eating a bit, Xiao Tian looked at Lin Bingxuan and said:

"Bingxuan, you rest a while. I’m going out for a bit."

"I’ll wait for you to come back."

Lin Bingxuan didn’t ask what Xiao Tian was going out for, she simply said softly.

Xiao Tian nodded, turned, and said to the foodie still battling with the food, "Girl, there’s been child kidnapping going on outside recently, be careful when you’re out."

"Who are you calling little? Where am I little?"

Upon hearing Xiao Tian say she was a child, Le Yaoyao got angry, puffed out her chest, and retorted.

Uh! Not small at all!

It was already confirmed just now!

Xiao Tian awkwardly shook his head and went out.

As he stepped outside, he still heard Le Yaoyao complaining to Lin Bingxuan, "Auntie, how did you become friends with this hooligan?"

Outside, Xiao Tian started the Harley!

Vroom!

The motorcycle sped away!

Target — the Shi Family!

————————

Inside the living room of the Shi Family Villa

Ce Shi knelt with a face full of fear in front of the Patriarch of the Shi Family, his father Shi Minghao.

"Rebellious son, do you know what a huge mess you’ve caused this time? How dare you use family resources to help foreigners steal state secret documents!" Shi Minghao said angrily.

"Dad, they promised to give me five billion US dollars after the job was done, that’s why I did it." Ce Shi explained timidly.

"What? Five billion? US dollars?" Shi Minghao frowned, puzzled.

Who would’ve thought this mysterious organization would be so generous.

But he also knew, anything worth five billion US dollars must be a hot potato.

"Let this matter end here, you don’t need to report to the police station tomorrow. You’ve caused such a big trouble that even your grandfather was alarmed. You’re to stay home for a month and reflect on your actions."

Seeing his father’s expression, Ce Shi knew he was off the hook.

So what if grandfather knows, he’s always doted on me since I was young!

Just as Ce Shi stood up, a few servants rushed in from outside, looking flustered, and shouted at Shi Minghao.

"Master, someone has broken in outside!"

Just as Shi Minghao was about to ask who had broken in, a cold young man kicked the half-closed door wide open and walked in, eyes gleaming.

"Where’d everybody go? How did this place let in any Tom, Dick, or Harry!" Shi Minghao shouted towards the outside.

Before his words could finish, a group of men in black suits, each over six feet tall and wielding clubs, walked in. These were today’s guards of the Shi Family, led by Shi Cheng, who had been beaten to a pulp.

Seeing that the intruder was Xiao Tian, Shi Cheng felt it was his chance for revenge.

Brat, I’ll show you for hitting me.

"Dad, he’s Xiao Tian. My plans were ruined by him," Ce Shi said with malice, glaring at Xiao Tian.

Shi Minghao narrowed his eyes, studied Xiao Tian for a moment, and then barked at the guards.

"What are you standing around for? Arrest this brat! Does he think the Shi Family is a place any random person can just break into?"

Hearing his father’s words, Ce Shi was extremely excited, finally, his revenge could be achieved. He then shouted at the guards, "Don’t kill him, I want to crush his balls myself later! How dare he compete with me, Eldest Young Master Shi, over women."

The guards, hearing the orders, began to surround him.

A few skilled ones had already reached Xiao Tian.

Xiao Tian coldly glanced at Ce Shi, his eyes as if looking at a dead man.

Seeing Xiao Tian standing there, Ce Shi’s eyes were filled with a morbid, feverish excitement, imagining Xiao Tian bound and tortured by him.

Shi Minghao was also slightly disappointed, just a country bumpkin who hadn’t seen the world; he probably just got lucky recently, disrupting the mysterious organization’s plans.

As the guards’ fists and feet were about to land, Xiao Tian moved.

With a slap, he struck the nearest guard first, sending him flying three meters away.

As Xiao Tian moved, his figure dashed through the guards like an afterimage, and with each strike, a guard would lose their combat ability and lie in the hall.

Either groaning incessantly or immediately passing out.

Three minutes, a mere three minutes.

All the guards present were down.

Everyone was stunned.

How is this possible?

How could this be possible!

These guards were not just street thugs!

Some were even specially recruited by Shi Minghao from abroad at a high cost, some of whom had fought in underground boxing matches.

How did they all turn into paper tigers in front of Xiao Tian?

This must be an act!

Ce Shi stared with wide eyes and mouth agape, utterly disbelief!

This... how could this country bumpkin have such strong fighting skills!

Coming back to his senses, Ce Shi pinched his thigh hard.

"Ouch!"

It wasn’t a dream!

By this point, a bit of panic finally appeared in Ce Shi’s eyes.

The most shocked was undoubtedly Shi Minghao, who knew very well the capabilities of these guards.

He had personally seen three of them tear opponents apart in underground boxing.

Having dealt with the guards, Xiao Tian acted as if he had done something trivial, patted the dust off his clothes, glanced around, and then slowly walked toward Ce Shi.

At this point, Shi Minghao regained his senses, looked around, and realized that Shi Cheng, who had initially entered with the guards, was missing.

The fear in his heart slightly reduced, he frowned and blocked Xiao Tian’s path.

"Xiao Tian, if you just wanted to vent, you’ve done it, please leave now!" Shi Minghao said, staring at Xiao Tian.

"I did come to vent, but my anger isn’t completely vented yet!" Xiao Tian replied.

"You!" Shi Minghao was infuriated by Xiao Tian’s words, but knowing no one present was Xiao Tian’s match, he could only stall for time until reinforcements arrived.

"Then what exactly do you want?" Shi Minghao took a deep breath, calmed himself, and asked.

Xiao Tian glanced at Shi Minghao, then coldly stared at Ce Shi and said.

"To kill!"
