When Lin Tian quietly returned to the hotel, he found He Qianqian still fast asleep.
Seeing that He Qianqian hadn't noticed his absence, Lin Tian heaved a sigh of relief and tiptoed back into the covers.
It was a relief she didn't find out; if she had, Lin Tian wouldn't have known how to explain himself.
Lin Tian lay in bed and suddenly found himself unable to fall asleep.
Lin Tian stared at the ceiling, calculating his earnings for the night, "To think I made nearly twenty million in one evening, it's unbelievable."
Twenty million!
That was a number the old Lin Tian had never even dread of. He had once wondered if he could ever make that much in his lifeti.
But there it was, obtained in a single night, and with such ease.
"Gambling really does make money the easiest!" Lin Tian muttered to himself.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Tian shifted his focus from the money to the Supernatural Ability System.
Lin Tian was well aware of what his true foundation was. As long as he had superpowers, he could have as much money as he wanted. Superpowers were his foundation.
Lin Tian closed his eyes slightly, his consciousness diving into his Sea of Consciousness. As he concentrated, Lin Tian could see two Supernatural Points slowly floating in his Sea of Consciousness, like golden beans.
"Two Supernatural Points, and if Wang Luodan successfully divorces tomorrow, that will be three," Lin Tian calculated his Supernatural Points in his mind.
"Still a bit too few, though." Just like money, the more Supernatural Points, the better.
After a mont of reflection, Lin Tian shook his head and said to himself, "Stop thinking about it, just go to sleep, finish up the mission tomorrow."
With that, Lin Tian closed his eyes, ready to sleep. He had never considered the possibility of failing his mission. If Wang Tao dared to go back on his word tomorrow, Lin Tian wouldn't hesitate to show him what he was capable of.
A quiet night passed, and at eight in the morning the next day, He Qianqian woke up, groggy.
After washing up, He Qianqian noticed that Lin Tian was still asleep, so she ran over and sat on the edge of the bed, gently pinching Lin Tian's nose.
"Mmm... what are you doing..." Lin Tian, sleepy, swatted away He Qianqian's hand.
"Whoosh!" The sudden loud noise by his ear made Lin Tian sit up abruptly.
Seeing it was He Qianqian, Lin Tian let out a sigh of relief and, struggling to open his eyes, said in a drowsy voice, "I'm so sleepy, let sleep a bit more!"
He had fallen asleep well after two in the morning and was dead tired.
"Get up, it's late!" He Qianqian pulled Lin Tian, not letting him fall back asleep.
Despite being extrely sleepy, Lin Tian still got out of bed under He Qianqian's insistent tug.
After getting ready, the two had breakfast in the hotel lobby.
Not long into their al, Lin Tian suddenly felt his phone vibrate.
Lin Tian, with a small steam bun in his mouth, looked around, then sowhat muffled, said to He Qianqian, "Your phone's buzzing!"
After saying that, Lin Tian swallowed down the stead bun in one gulp, juice and all.
"Hmm?" He Qianqian, who was sipping soy milk through a straw, paused, then pulled out her phone and indeed, it was ringing.
"Hello?" He Qianqian answered the call.
"Ah? Oh! Okay! I got it!" He Qianqian hung up after a brief conversation.
Noticing that He Qianqian seed a bit off after the call, Lin Tian swallowed his stead bun and asked curiously, "What's wrong?"
He Qianqian looked sowhat grave and frowned slightly, "My mom just called , said grandma's critically ill, and wants to go back and see her."
After speaking, He Qianqian paused, looking at Lin Tian apologetically, "Sorry, I have to go back."
"It's okay!" Lin Tian shook his head, and then offered, "Let book your flight, I'll go back with you."
"No need, what are you going back for? Just have fun here," He Qianqian shook her head, disagreeing with Lin Tian's suggestion.
Hearing He Qianqian's words, Lin Tian hesitated for a mont, indeed it wasn't quite right for him to go.
What was he to do there? To tell He Qianqian's family that he was her boyfriend?
Apart from the fact that He Qianqian wasn't emotionally prepared, neither was Lin Tian.
Moreover, Lin Tian still had a mission to complete here. If he wasn't around, he was worried that Wang Tao might not go through with the divorce with Wang Luodan.
Considering these reasons and hesitating for a mont, Lin Tian nodded and said, "Okay, I'll just book your flight then."
"Mm." He Qianqian nodded gently.
After breakfast, Lin Tian imdiately booked a flight for He Qianqian, choosing the earliest departure at eleven in the morning.
"There are still two hours before the flight takes off. Do you need to pack your things?" Lin Tian looked at He Qianqian.
"Okay."
After packing up, Lin Tian took He Qianqian to the airport.
Two hours later, watching the plane slowly ascend until it vanished from sight, Lin Tian then turned and left.
He Qianqian's departure was sowhat unexpected to Lin Tian, but he was powerless to change it. Lin Tian planned to finish his business here, then touch base with Bu ngting before going to find He Qianqian.
While thinking, Lin Tian flagged down a taxi and headed straight for Wang Luodan's ho.
Through the flickering red mission light on Wang Luodan's body, Lin Tian knew she was at ho at that mont.
An hour later, Lin Tian knocked on the door of Wang Luodan's ho.
The door opened after just a few knocks.
Lin Tian glanced inside and saw that both Wang Luodan and Wang Tao were standing at the door, obviously waiting for him.
"Let's go to the civil affairs bureau to get the certificate," Lin Tian said to the couple without beating around the bush.
"Uh..." Wang Tao hesitated and said, looking at Lin Tian, "Today is Saturday. The civil affairs bureau is closed. They'll be back on Monday."
"What?" Lin Tian was suddenly taken aback.
After a mont's pause, Lin Tian asked, "You've been there already?"
"The governnt is off on the weekends," Wang Luodan said. She still couldn't quite believe how quickly everything had happened, the changes were too abrupt, like a dream.
"I see..." Lin Tian had no choice but to wait.
Shaking his head in resignation, Lin Tian told them, "Alright then, I'll co find you again on Monday."
With this, Lin Tian turned and left with a hint of helplessness.
After a mont's hesitation, Wang Luodan called out to the departing Lin Tian, "Do you want to stay for a al?"
Without turning his head, Lin Tian waved his hand, "No need!"
Back at the hotel, Lin Tian ate sothing casually, then went to the beach to bask in the sun.
Under a sun umbrella, wearing sunglasses, clad in large swimming trunks, with a drink placed on the table, Lin Tian lay leisurely on a beach chair.
While casually sipping his drink, he lazily watched the various stunning beauties around him.
"A feast for the eyes..." Lin Tian thought to himself, looking at the beauties in the distance.
When He Qianqian was around, Lin Tian dared not watch so blatantly, but this ti, being alone at last, he could 'do as he pleased'.
Glancing around, Lin Tian was startled.
Twenty ters ahead, there was a short-haired, curvaceous beauty with tan skin.
The more Lin Tian looked, the more familiar she seed.
When the girl turned around, Lin Tian's eyes lit up as he thought, "It really is her. How did she get here?"
This girl was Chen Yixuan, the policewoman Lin Tian had saved last ti.
Seeing Chen Yixuan, Lin Tian smirked, slipped on his flip-flops, and walked over to her.
By the ti Lin Tian reached behind Chen Yixuan, she had not yet noticed him; she was busy tidying her hair tousled by the sea breeze.
Suddenly, her buttocks were seized with a slap, Chen Yixuan was stunned for a mont, and then, incensed, she spun around and lashed out with a flying kick.
The kick was swift and fierce!
Slap!
To Chen Yixuan's surprise, her normally reliable kick was blocked.
Lin Tian gently held Chen Yixuan's foot, grinning as he said, "Beauty, is this how you treat your lifesaver?"
"It's you!" Chen Yixuan gaped upon seeing Lin Tian, then snapped angrily, "Let go!"
