CHAPTER 988: CHAPTER 985: MAKE HIM DISAPPEAR SECRETLY

"Brother Lin, any instructions?" Rossi’s respectful voice came from the phone.

"How has the Second Miss been while I’ve been away?" Lin Tian’s expression softened slightly as he asked.

"The Second Miss has been mostly with the Miss, and apart from that, she has also come into contact with Zhang Lingyu. These two are too strong, so most of the time I don’t dare to get too close. Overall, the Second Miss isn’t in any danger; it’s just that..." At the end of his words, Rossi hesitated.

Hesitation wasn’t typical of Rossi’s character, so Lin Tian asked curiously, "Just what?"

"I’m afraid to say." Rossi replied respectfully.

Lin Tian tried to soften his tone and said, "I won’t blame you; just tell me."

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone. After a moment’s hesitation, Rossi finally said, "When the Second Miss is alone, she often mumbles a sentence. She says, ’Lin Tian, this... scoundrel, has been gone so long; when is he coming back?’"

Rossi hesitated for a long time before finally saying the word "scoundrel." Even over the phone, Lin Tian could sense the oddity in Rossi’s tone, assuming this vampire must be wondering how a dignified big zombie became the "scoundrel" in the Second Miss’s words.

Lin Tian shook his head and then laughed. "Ha, that’s her style."

Although these words were conveyed by Rossi, Lin Tian could still picture the Second Miss’s expression when cursing "scoundrel," so willful and charming.

Lin Tian didn’t speak for a while, seemingly lost in the memory of the Second Miss’s image and voice, and Rossi didn’t dare to interrupt. After a while, Lin Tian came back to himself, thinking that he really missed this little girl after being apart for several days.

After collecting his emotions, Lin Tian put away his smile, his face becoming indifferent again as he spoke into the phone, "Rossi, put the current mission aside for now; I have something else for you to do."

Rossi didn’t say anything, waiting for Lin Tian to continue. A cold light flashed in Lin Tian’s eyes as he said, "There’s a guy named Mo Mingda; make him disappear from this world. He’s in Jinghua City."

"Jinghua City? Okay, I’ll leave right away," Rossi answered, sounding somewhat surprised.

"Seems like you have something to say?" Lin Tian asked.

"It’s like this, I once overheard that the Xiao Group has important activities in Jinghua City recently, and the Miss and Second Miss might be going there," Rossi said truthfully.

"They’re coming to Jinghua City? That’s just perfect. When they set off, you follow them secretly, and once you arrive in Jinghua City, you act on your own. Just a reminder, the Miss recently broke through a realm, greatly increasing her spiritual sense. Don’t let her find you," Lin Tian instructed.

He was very surprised about the Xiao sisters coming to Jinghua City, but then realized it was quite normal, as the Xiao Family’s business would take them everywhere.

"Got it," Rossi agreed.

After hanging up, Lin Tian sent out a picture of Mo Mingda and left Yunhe Hall. The reason he wanted Mo Mingda to disappear was because of that crazy statement.

Lin Tian could accept threats of revenge against himself because he wasn’t afraid, but he wouldn’t tolerate any threats against his family and friends. Therefore, Mo Mingda had to disappear from the world.

Lin Tian’s movements had already been spotted by Ning Luoxi and were even under her surveillance, but that didn’t mean Lin Tian would let Mo Mingda off the hook. Rossi could still make Mo Mingda disappear mysteriously.

Returning to Yunxiang Inn, Lin Tian saw An Xiaoru waiting anxiously at the door. The young girl seemed worried, as if something was troubling her.

"Miss Xiao Ru, what’s wrong?" Lin Tian asked with concern.

An Xiaoru looked into Lin Tian’s eyes, speaking sincerely, "Mr. Lin, I’m sorry, I heard about the stolen medicine incident. It’s my fault; I didn’t take good care of you and your things."

The young girl spoke earnestly, but Lin Tian would never blame her. This was all part of the plan, and besides, she was just a young girl who couldn’t have prevented it from happening.

"Miss Xiao Ru, it’s not your fault; no need to blame yourself," Lin Tian said gently.

However, the more Lin Tian consoled, the more uneasy An Xiaoru felt, "I’m responsible for looking after you. It’s my duty. If not, Mr. Lin, you can scold me, or tell me how I can make up for it."

Seeing the young girl’s earnest expression, Lin Tian realized how much she blamed herself. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly smiled and said, "Miss Xiao Ru, how about this: you can compensate me."

"How to compensate?" An Xiaoru blinked and asked.

"Uh, I’ve been refining medicine a lot lately and have a sore back. You can help give me a bath and massage as compensation," Lin Tian said with a smile.

"Ah? This... this... that’s not possible." An Xiaoru was shocked, her cheeks turning red as she imagined them bathing naked together, too embarrassed to raise her head.

Lin Tian chuckled and patted her shoulder, saying, "I’m just kidding; let’s just forget it. No need to blame yourself." With that, he walked into the living room.

An Xiaoru followed behind, seemingly making a big decision before saying, "Mr. Lin, I... I can help you massage, but... but with clothes on."

Lin Tian turned around and saw An Xiaoru’s fair face blush a deep red. On a whim, he nodded and agreed.

In the bathroom, An Xiaoru filled the bathtub with water and then left, letting Lin Tian enter before she shyly came in.

Although Lin Tian wore swimming trunks in the water, seeing his bare, muscular upper body made An Xiaoru’s blushing face spread with crimson to her fair neck, almost causing her to run away.

"You... I..." An Xiaoru nervously stammered, unable to form a complete sentence, tightly clutching the white towel in her hands and forgetting even to move her feet.

"How about this, I’ll close my eyes, and you can treat me like a piece of wood," Lin Tian teased, then actually lay down comfortably and closed his eyes.

After a long while, Lin Tian felt a pair of soft, small hands pressing down on his shoulders. When they touched him, An Xiaoru’s hand visibly trembled, and her breathing sounded a bit uneven.

An Xiaoru’s movements were very clumsy, incomparable to Zi Yan, but Lin Tian could clearly feel the young girl’s hands were very soft, and despite her awkwardness, she was very serious.

Lin Tian felt unusually calm and even fell asleep while lying there.

An Xiaoru noticed Lin Tian had fallen asleep, looked at his quiet and handsome face, and her eyes reflected an inexplicable expression. She breathed a sigh of relief yet felt a slight loss, as if troubled by her own feminine allure.

Lin Tian didn’t think much of it at all; he was just too exhausted from refining medicine, so he lay in the bathtub and fell asleep.

It wasn’t until the afternoon that Lin Tian woke up, realizing the bathtub water was still warm. He knew An Xiaoru had been replacing the water to keep it warm, showing what a thoughtful girl she was.

Nothing happened during this "bath service," but afterwards, An Xiaoru no longer blamed herself. Lin Tian knew he had achieved his goal.

After resting, feeling refreshed, Lin Tian put his energy back into refining medicine.
