Chapter 324: The Blink of Life and Death
Feng Jiabao looked utterly confident, and Lin Tian didn't know what else to say. He thought to himself that Feng Jiabao was the real playboy and spoiled bad boy.
"Oh, about the bicycle, make sure it has a rear seat. My wife wants to sit behind me."
"That's a great idea, I might as well get two, so Guo'er can sit behind me."
Feng Jiabao, true to his name, was really clever.
In a blink, the weekend arrived, and Lin Tian and Feng Jiabao each pushed a bicycle to the school's back gate, which was the agreed-upon meeting spot.
About fifteen minutes later, Bu Mengting and Zhang Guo'er came out hand in hand.
"Why did you guys only get two bicycles?"
Seeing only two bicycles, Bu Mengting was slightly dissatisfied. She could ride with Lin Tian, but what about Zhang Guo'er?
"Mengting, my little wife, didn't you want to ride with me? I thought since it's just the four of us, we might as well save expenses and just get two bicycles."
Feng Jiabao squinted at Zhang Guo'er, who was a type of beauty that grows on you. At first glance, she seemed slightly less appealing than Bu Mengting, but the more you looked, the prettier she got.
"Save expenses? As far as I know, the bit of money for renting bicycles isn't a big deal for you guys. I'm fine with it. What about Guo'er?"
Zhang Guo'er's brow furrowed noticeably. She had planned to cycle around Wu'an today, not just sit.
Although Feng Jiabao was tall and strong, Zhang Guo'er had heard about Feng Jiabao's notorious reputation, which was even worse than Lin Tian's.
"Guo'er, you ride with the boss, okay?" Lin Tian went all out to help Feng Jiabao this time.
Feng Jiabao immediately put on a gentlemanly smile, walked up to Zhang Guo'er, and extended his hand in invitation.
"Please, Miss Guo'er, get on."
"No, I came here to cycle around Wu'an. How about this: I'll ride with Mengting, and you two can ride together."
Zhang Guo'er decisively snatched the bicycle from Feng Jiabao's hands.
Bu Mengting glared hard at Lin Tian and promptly got on Zhang Guo'er's bicycle.
"Boss, no questions asked, this time I've really helped you all the way. You should carry me, right?"
"That's not right, Lin Tian, you've already called me boss, you should carry me."
"Hey, I'm saying boss, you can't just abandon me halfway across the river. How about we do rock-paper-scissors?"
This time Feng Jiabao's greed got the better of him, wanting to get close to Zhang Guo'er, but his scheme didn't succeed, and the two men had to ride on a single bicycle.
"Rock-paper-scissors, then, rock-paper-scissors. I'm not afraid of you."
Feng Jiabao was not intimidated, but if he had known Lin Tian could do divination, he definitely wouldn't have agreed to play rock-paper-scissors with him.
Lin Tian quietly twirled three coins in his palm and, after a round of divination, was filled with confidence.
"Rock-paper-scissors!"
Feng Jiabao threw rock, while Lin Tian threw paper and won immediately.
"Best two out of three."
Seeing that he had lost right away, Feng Jiabao was not convinced and immediately demanded a best-of-three matchup.
But Lin Tian didn't give him a chance and immediately sat down on the rear seat.
"Quit your squabbling, our wives are already far ahead."
Reluctantly, Feng Jiabao started pedaling.
Though Feng Jiabao was tall and strong, which gave him some advantage, the combined weight of the two men was much more than that of Bu Mengting and Zhang Guo'er, who had left earlier. However, he didn't take long to catch up.
It was also possible that Zhang Guo'er was intentionally slowing down to wait.
"Hey Guo'er, it's just a bike ride. No need to be so serious about it. If you sit behind me and hold my waist, that could also be a sweet memory, right?"
Feng Jiabao was indeed thick-skinned, while Zhang Guo'er kept a straight face.
"Spoiled bad boy, I'm not going to give you guys any chances."
"Haha, you two had bad intentions from the start, trying to take advantage of our Guo'er. You're still too naive."
Bu Mengting added fuel to the fire from behind.
"Look, do you know how long it takes to tour around Wu'an? I'm just worried you girls might not have the stamina. This is a job for us men. Right, Lin Tian?"
Feng Jiabao was right, the area of Wu'an City was not small. To tour around it once at the current pace could take more than a day.
"Exactly, exactly."
Lin Tian immediately chimed in, as he was hoping to relive the beautiful moments of high school, being able to carry Bu Mengting.
"Don't worry, the two of us can take turns riding."
At this moment, Bu Mengting began to sing a different tune, which made Lin Tian's teeth itch. Suddenly, Lin Tian felt uneasy.
He had experience with his premonition ability and knew it was sending a warning. But what could be dangerous about cycling on the road?
Lin Tian looked around and suddenly saw a large truck coming at breakneck speed ahead.
This is bad!
Although they were currently on the side of the road, Lin Tian had a premonition that the truck was coming straight for them.
He jumped off the bicycle and kicked Bu Mengting and Zhang Guo'er's bike, sending both girls, along with the bike, flying to the side of the road.
"Lin Tian, have you gone mad?"
Feng Jiabao was utterly baffled, yet Lin Tian didn't speak and chased for a few steps, grabbed the bicycle, and with one forceful pull, Feng Jiabao and the bicycle flew to the roadside.
Having done all this, the truck indeed came charging over; had Lin Tian hesitated, it was likely that all four of them would have been overturned by the truck.
Just as Lin Tian was about to drive away, he suddenly felt something unusual behind him. The moment he turned his head, he felt a massive force hit his legs, and then his whole body was sent flying, making intimate contact with the truck. A car unexpectedly hit Lin Tian from behind into the truck.
The truck then collided with the car and flipped over.
The load of sand in the truck spilled all over, burying both the car and Lin Tian.
From a distance, Zhang Wendong sat in a Rolls-Royce, silently watching everything, his lips slightly curled up into a sinister smile.
"Lin Tian!"
Bu Mengting was the first to get up. Just now, she was kicked to the roadside by Lin Tian but felt a force envelop her, leaving her unharmed. Knowing Lin Tian well, she immediately thought that he was protecting them.
But as she got up from the ground, she saw Lin Tian being hit by the car into the truck.
"Don't be rash!"
Feng Jiabao also got up from the ground, finally understanding that Lin Tian's abnormal behavior was to save himself.
"Both vehicles are unstable now, if you go there, it's dangerous."
At this moment, the entire truck had flipped onto its side, and the car was directly buried in sand; Lin Tian was probably also buried underneath.
It was a person who would think that at this moment, Lin Tian's chances of survival were slim.
"Move aside!"
Bu Mengting held back her tears, but she didn't let them fall.
She believed that Lin Tian wouldn't die. Lin Tian was so formidable, how could he possibly die? She refused to believe Lin Tian was dead.
"Lin Tian won't die, move aside!"
"Hit by two vehicles, now he is probably not even human-shaped, Bu Mengting, you need to stay calm," Feng Jiabao still didn't move aside, instead he yelled at Guo'er.
"Quick, hold Bu Mengting, it's not safe here now, it might explode."
Feng Jiabao wasn't being alarmist; after the two vehicles collided, an explosion was indeed likely, and getting close was indeed dangerous.
Guo'er quickly grabbed Bu Mengting, she didn't speak and just held Bu Mengting tightly.
"Let go of me! Lin Tian won't die..."
Bu Mengting struggled furiously. Seeing Bu Mengting tightly grabbed by Guo'er, Feng Jiabao quickly took out his phone to call the police and dial 120.
"Is that girl named Bu Mengting?"
From afar, at this point, Zhang Wendong sat in the back seat of the car, using binoculars to watch the events unfolding before him.
His first plan against Lin Tian had failed, and this time he was more cautious, stopping his car a good distance away.
The drivers of the truck and the small car had both been poisoned in advance by him, to prevent Lin Tian's counterattack, Zhang Wendong had made thorough preparations.
"Correct, she's one of Lin Tian's women."
"One of them?"
Zhang Wendong thought of his previous failure, his face twisted with ferocity. Enjoy more content from My Virtual Library Empire
But just as he finished speaking, he suddenly widened his eyes, exclaiming:
"This is impossible!"
"Bang!"
With a loud noise, the sand pile suddenly burst open, and a person jumped out, covered in blood.
"It's Lin Tian, it's Lin Tian, I knew he'd be fine!"
Bu Mengting had been watching intently, the first to spot Lin Tian emerging.
Feng Jiabao had just finished calling the police, and facing away, turned around to see a blood-covered figure.
"Guo'er, let go of me, Lin Tian is fine."
Bu Mengting broke free from Guo'er's restraining grasp and threw herself towards Lin Tian, who at that moment had bloodshot eyes and was drenched in blood.
He indeed nearly died just now, but he directly exchanged for three bottles of Healing Water from the system. His injuries were indeed severe, but the three bottles of Healing Water completely healed Lin Tian.
At this moment, he had only seven Supernatural Points left, secretly glad that he hadn't used up those ten Supernatural Points directly.
"Lin Tian, are you alright?"
Bu Mengting, disregarding the blood on Lin Tian, embraced him.
"I'm fine, Mengting, wait here, I have something to take care of."
Lin Tian's gaze fixed on a car in the distance.
As soon as he came out, he had already noticed that both the truck driver and the car driver were dead. But they didn't die from the crash but from poisoning.
Using divination, he pinpointed Zhang Wendong's location.
"Why do I feel like he's looking over here?"
At that moment, Zhang Wendong, holding the binoculars, began to tremble. Lin Tian, hit back and forth by two vehicles, was still alive; was he Superman? And through the binoculars, he saw that Lin Tian's gaze seemed to be fixed on his car.
