Chapter 287: Kiss
Wonderful times always pass quickly, and soon it was daylight.
Today Lin Tian and Bu Mengting had to return to school for classes.
Before leaving, Lin Tian went home to make sure his dad was alright.
"Lin Tian, come over here. I have something to tell you."
Seeing Lin Tian was about to leave, Lin Cheng called him over.
Lin Cheng's expression was not very good, and Lin Fang originally wanted to listen in, but his mom pulled her away.
"Dad, what is it?"
"Lin Tian, I know you've grown up, and you have your own thoughts on many things. That's good, and I've been looking forward to this day. The only thing I want to tell you today is, before you do anything, think of your dad, your mom, and your sister."
"Dad, what are you talking about?"
Lin Tian felt a bit wronged; wasn't he always thinking about his family?
"I'm speaking Chinese. I know that whatever I say now, you won't listen, just be careful yourself."
Obviously, Lin Cheng was angry because Lin Tian hadn't listened to him at the hospital that day.
What the elder meant was for Lin Tian to endure more and avoid messing with people who shouldn't be provoked, which could lead to trouble. Continue your journey with My Virtual Library Empire
Lin Tian somewhat disagreed, as he now possessed the Supernatural Ability System. Even the Li Family of Capital City didn't scare him. He hadn't gone after Li Guan, and that was already showing a lot of respect to the Li Family.
"If there's nothing else, I'm going to school."
Lin Tian realized that there was a generational gap between him and his father, or perhaps this was the price of growing up.
Father and son were over twenty years apart, and they grew up in different environments, so a generation gap was inevitable.
Bu Mengting said she was going to meet some classmates and had already gone to school first.
Just as Lin Tian was about to hail a taxi, a car proactively approached him as he reached the roadside.
And it was no ordinary car, but a police car.
"Where to? Get in!"
The driver was Chen Yixuan. Since the last time Lin Tian had helped Chen Yixuan take care of Luo Li, it had been a long time since he had seen Chen Yixuan.
Chen Yixuan was still in her police uniform, standing tall and straight, with a very stern expression and not smiling.
Lin Tian didn't hesitate and got into the passenger seat right away.
"Officer Chen, isn't this using public resources for personal use?"
"What? You want to report me?"
"Of course, I won't report you. I'm just worried about passersby reporting you. Then getting it turned into a video and posted online. 'Female cop keeps a boy toy, police car escorts boy toy.' This title should go viral, right?"
Chen Yixuan burst into laughter at Lin Tian's words.
"Go viral your big silly head. You've been pretty busy lately, what are you working on?"
"Of course, I'm busy. There are things people promised to do that haven't been done, I'm busy finding people to help me collect the debt."
Lin Tian deliberately put on a pitiful look, which made Chen Yixuan blush.
"When you helped me catch Luo Li, I never promised you anything. It was always you talking to yourself."
"When people want to wriggle out of a deal, they can always find a thousand excuses."
"You! Never mind, I, as an adult, will not fuss over minor issues. Lin Tian, there is something I need to ask you."
Chen Yixuan clearly didn't greet Lin Tian out of boredom.
"What is it?"
"What happened between you and Zhang Ya? That day, all the police in Wu'an were searching for Zhang Ya. It was a direct order from Director Zhong. What's your involvement in this?"
My involvement was, of course, that I tasked Director Zhong with assisting me in catching Zhang Ya.
Of course, Lin Tian had no plans of telling Chen Yixuan that.
"Nothing much."
"Impossible, I've investigated Zhang Ya. Zhang Ya's family is wealthy, controlling over a dozen multinational companies. They have branches in over a dozen countries. Someone like that wouldn't be targeted by Director Zhong without solid reasons."
In this era of economic development, the status of businessmen is sometimes even higher than some officials. Especially a business dynasty like Zhang Ya's, Director Zhong wouldn't move against Zhang Ya without sufficient reason.
"It's complicated, I can't explain it all right now, but Zhang Ya is extremely dangerous."
"Extremely dangerous? How dangerous?"
"Why so many questions? Isn't Zhang Ya already on the run? Do you have any information about her? What's the matter? If there's nothing, I'm getting out of the car. Just by riding with you, you're nagging endlessly."
"Alright, I won't ask about Zhang Ya anymore. I came to find you today to investigate something that happened yesterday."
Chen Yixuan took out a file bag and tossed it to Lin Tian.
"Take a look!"
Lin Tian took the file bag and read through the materials inside.
It was all about the Assassin Yin Ye, detailing his place of birth, date of birth, and when he joined a mercenary corps. It also listed all the battles he had participated in, how many enemies he had killed, and whether he had been injured; everything was meticulously recorded.
Looking through these materials, Lin Tian felt like he had followed in Yin Ye's footsteps and experienced everything that had happened to Yin Ye.
"There's nothing interesting to look at, even the most splendid achievements only reflect past glories."
"What I want to know is why did you provoke this god of death?"
That was Chen Yixuan's true intention, but Lin Tian kept silent.
"I'm not sure. He's an assassin, so obviously someone hired him."
"You're not worried at all! Someone has hired an assassin against you, and you don't want to know who's behind it?"
Lin Tian certainly wanted to know, and he had already gotten the answer from the assassin.
"Did you manage to get anything out of him?"
"No, this assassin has very strong mental fortitude, we tried various methods but couldn't persuade him."
It turned out that Chen Yixuan had hit a setback at Yin Ye, hence she thought of seeking out Lin Tian.
"It seems this assassin is quite tough."
"You definitely know who ordered it, why won't you say it."
Chen Yixuan's intuition was sharp, and combined with her years of solving cases in the police force, her logical thinking was exceptionally strong.
"Sorry, but I don't think I'm your criminal, Officer Chen. I need to attend class now, so I won't disturb you anymore."
Lin Tian wanted to get out of the car, but Chen Yixuan had locked the doors.
"If you don't tell me today, you can forget about getting out of the car."
Chen Yixuan had clearly set this up beforehand—she invited Lin Tian into the car, then locked the door; if Lin Tian didn't talk, she wouldn't let him out.
So she's resorting to this kind of tactic, Lin Tian touched his nose and then suddenly gave Chen Yixuan a smirking stare.
"So Officer Chen, you're specially here to repay a favor today?"
"What repay a favor?"
"If you aren't here to warm my bed, then why did you lock the car doors?"
"What are you talking about? Lin Tian, if you talk nonsense again, I'll tear your mouth apart. Now tell me honestly, who is behind that assassin."
"I really don't know."
"Have you offended anyone recently?"
It looked like Chen Yixuan was determined to get to the bottom of this.
"If I tell you, you have to reward me."
"What sort of reward do you want?"
"Kiss me once, then I'll tell."
Lin Tian was still brooding over Chen Yixuan not warming his bed, seizing the chance to take a little advantage of her.
Of course, Chen Yixuan probably wouldn't agree.
Chen Yixuan bit her lip, looked around to ensure nobody was paying attention, then suddenly leaned over and kissed Lin Tian on the face.
It was like a dragonfly skimming the water, grazing then immediately departing.
"I kissed you, hurry up and tell me."
"That counts as a kiss? I didn't feel anything at all."
"Regardless, I've kissed you, hurry up and tell me."
"Alright, you police should be able to figure it out. It was Li Guan."
Lin Tian was skeptical that the police department didn't know about the conflict between Li Guan and his father.
"Li Guan? I understand, I will definitely investigate this thoroughly. No matter who it is, ordering someone to kill is committing a crime."
At that moment, Chen Yixuan brimmed with heroic spirit, her aura stern, looking like she was ready to dive deeply into this case.
Lin Tian thought it would be best if Chen Yixuan didn't get involved.
After getting her answer, Chen Yixuan didn't take Lin Tian to school but dropped him halfway and left.
"Hey, that's not nice, it's hard to catch a cab from here."
Chen Yixuan completely ignored Lin Tian's shouts and drove off.
Lin Tian was sure this woman was retaliating because he had made her kiss him.
Women really hold grudges over trivial matters, it was just a kiss after all.
Alas, now he was doomed to walk to school. There were no buses on this road, and taxis rarely came.
"Lin Tian, are you walking to school?"
Today was definitely Lin Tian's day for charming encounters; having just gotten off the police woman's car, he then bumped into the campus beauty.
Shen Mengyi was driving a red BMW, appearing seemingly out of nowhere.
"Ah, let's not talk about it, a woman left me stranded on the road."
"Left by someone? Haha, serves you right, that's what you get for being flirtatious. If it were me, I'd have kicked you out long ago."
"That's not right, Beauty Shen. You just invited me into your car! Are you not bringing me in to do something meaningful?"
"Of course, we are doing something. Let's go to school and attend class, that's the most meaningful thing. Study hard, make progress every day."
Shen Mengyi laughed and drove fast while Lin Tian wore an irritated look.
"I mean something else meaningful."
"We can talk about that another day, today we must first do this meaningful thing well."
True to the president of the Broadcasting Club, Lin Tian suddenly found himself at a loss.
He thought for a moment, then decided to close his eyes and rest.
"Hey, you're with a beauty and you can still sleep? Am I that uncharming?"
"It's not about lacking charm, you're just too beautiful. I'm afraid if I look a few more times, I might lose control and do something crazy."
"Really? What kind of crazy things would you do? Tell me."
"Crazy things, how could I tell you that? Once I go crazy, I definitely won't remember anything. Though, I should be able to remember Shen Mengyi."
