Top-Tier Superpower Student

A rendition of "Flying Insects," a lullaby meant for little kids, had finally put both his wife and mistress to sleep. Lin Tian loosened his fingers, which were tingling from all the plucking.

He gave each of their butts a pat, taking some satisfaction in the gesture. If it weren't for them, would his hands even be numb?

Too exhausting!

He shed his clothes, flopped onto the bed, and just the thought of getting up early the next morning to play the piano for his wife and mistress made him irritated.

Just as he closed his eyes, the phone rang. Lin Tian reluctantly crawled out of bed and, upon checking the caller ID, saw it was from Wang Yuan.

With both the Li Family and the Ouyang Family gone, and no holiday or festival in sight, what could Wang Yuan want by calling at this hour?

"Hello, Wang Yuan, what do you want in the middle of the night?"

Through the phone, Lin Tian heard Wang Yuan's heavy breathing, sounding hurried and anxious.

Could something have happened?

Lin Tian quickly asked, "What's up? Just tell me if there's something."

Over the phone, Lin Tian heard Wang Yuan swallow hard a few times, attempting to steady his voice before speaking, "Brother Tian, it's nothing serious. Now that our Wang Family is the only big player left, I just wanted to thank you. How about you come to Capital City tomorrow? I'll treat you to a meal."

No issue?

Lin Tian was skeptical. Wang Yuan had just sounded so urgent, and now he was inviting him out to eat?

He probed, "Wang Yuan, if there's an issue, just say it. If I can help, I definitely will. Don't beat around the bush."

"Really, it's nothing, truly, truly. I just want to thank you and invite you to a meal," Wang Yuan insisted.

Since Wang Yuan insisted, Lin Tian felt relieved, though the idea of traveling so far just for a meal clearly seemed impractical.

Lin Tian said, "Well, if you are grateful, just keeping it in mind is enough. No need to say it face to face, and there's no need for a meal. We'll be in touch in the future. It's late; I'm going to sleep."

With that, he was about to hang up the phone.

"Hey, hey, hey, hey... Brother Tian, don't hang up!" An urgent voice came through on the line.

"What is it exactly? If there's something, just say it," Lin Tian said, sounding impatient.

Wang Yuan said, "Brother Tian, apart from the meal, I have an important matter to discuss with you tomorrow. Last time you mentioned that Tianyi Pharma still owes the bank over twenty billion, didn't you? I've found a particularly lucrative opportunity, really profitable, we're talking billions, billions in profit."

Finally, Wang Yuan got to the point.

But making money isn't that easy. Easy money usually comes with high risk, and Lin Tian guessed Wang Yuan was probably hinting at wanting Lin Tian to provide him some protection.

However, thinking of the more than twenty billion owed to the bank gave Lin Tian a headache. He didn't even know how much Shen Mengyi had repaid by now. Of course, if possible, he would be willing to make money with Wang Yuan.

Lin Tian said, "Alright, I'll come to Capital City to see you tomorrow, and we can talk in person."

"Great, Brother Tian, I'll be waiting for you."

... ... ...

As Lin Tian expected, the very next morning, as soon as his wife and mistress got up, they both pleaded with Lin Tian to play the piano for them.

Luckily, Lin Tian had made plans with Wang Yuan, so he was spared from their entreaties.

However, after discussing it with his wives, big and small, they decided to go with Lin Tian. He Qianqian had nothing particular going on, so she could just up and leave. Since Bu Mengting's company had entered the top 500, she didn't need to be at the office all the time. So, they decided to go with Lin Tian, and along the way, they could get Lin Tian to play the guqin whenever they had free time. Yep, that was the main thing.

Early the next morning, Lin Tian and his wives, along with Qin Chi, set off.

Subsequently, the four of them boarded the plane headed for the Capital City!

Upon reaching the airport, Wang Yuan personally came to pick them up. It was now nine in the morning. Although a bit early, it was already time for "lunch".

Just as Lin Tian was getting ready to feast, to his surprise, Wang Yuan didn't take them to a restaurant for a big meal but led them to the front of a forest.

He looked at Wang Yuan with confusion, his gaze questioning as if to say, "Kid, what the hell are you up to, what about that meal you promised?"

Wang Yuan wore a sly grin and spoke with a hint of apology.

"Well... uh... Brother Tian, it's like this, remember I told you yesterday about a way to make money I thought of? This way is through beast fighting. In Cang Hai City, the beast-fighting industry is extremely developed. Top fighting beasts can bring their owner profits of several hundred billion a year. A few days ago, I bought a Tiger Mastiff Beast, bred from a tiger and a Tibetan mastiff, from abroad. I entered it in two fights, both victories, and won over three billion."

Beast fighting?

And Tiger Mastiff Beast, tigers and Tibetan mastiffs can even breed successfully!

It was Lin Tian's first time hearing about it.

However, if two fights could earn over three billion, that was indeed very profitable.

Lin Tian grew interested and couldn't wait to give it a try!

Yet, looking back at Wang Yuan, he said, "If you've made so much money, then you should take me to see for myself. Why lead me to this crappy forest instead!"

Wang Yuan scratched his head and explained, "Well... Brother Tian, I know you're capable and awesome. Bringing you here is, of course, because I need your help!"

"Help with what?"

"The Tiger Mastiff Beast may be powerful and extremely fierce, but it's too aggressive and doesn't listen to anyone. Just yesterday afternoon it bit through a steel bar as thick as a thumb with its teeth and injured two of my experts. Then it ran off into this forest. I immediately rallied all the manpower to encircle the forest, but it's so vast, and I've had to use everyone just to surround it. I can't spare anyone else, so..."

"So you want me to go into the forest to help you find the Tiger Mastiff Beast!"

Lin Tian continued the sentence.

Now he finally understood why Wang Yuan was being so evasive yesterday; he was in need but too embarrassed to ask for Lin Tian's help directly.

Wang Yuan scratched his head again and said, "Big brother, yes, I want you to help me find it. The Tiger Mastiff Beast is too fierce, capable of biting through steel bars. I've encircled the forest to contain it, but I'm worried about provoking it. If it bursts out, I can't afford to injure it. If it escapes, it would be like losing a gold mine."

Lin Tian said, "So that's what's going on. Just say it straight next time. I'll definitely help if I can!"

While he spoke, he began to climb up a large tree.

Looking out from a high vantage point, geez, that gave Lin Tian quite the shock!

This forest was enormous, dense and filled with trees.

"Wang Yuan, this forest must have at least seventy or eighty thousand trees, right?"

Wang Yuan replied, "A full hundred thousand. It's part of the Wang Family's estate, so I'm pretty clear on that."

Lin Tian frowned, such a vast forest, full of hiding places, finding a Tiger Mastiff Beast would be harder than reaching the heavens!

Even though he was now quite powerful, facing such an extensive forest, he too felt it was a bit beyond reach!
