Chapter 91: Chapter 91 Roo and Juliet
"It’s simple," Ren Zhong said with a smile. "If he can’t beat my son, you’ll have dinner with him."
After all that talk, Ren Zhong’s goal was still the sa.
Qin Yuhan bit her lip, hesitating. Just how good are Wu Tian’s business skills?
But she’d already spoken. How could she back down now? Rembering the confidence Wu Tian exuded when he claid to be the best in Dragon Country, she felt a thrill and slapped the table. "Fine! I’ll take that bet."
"A deal is a deal," Ren Zhong said, beaming. He was absolutely confident he would win this wager.
How could a child from a poor family possibly compare to one from a wealthy one? His son, Ren Hou, was not so typical, inept rich heir. On the contrary, Ren Zhong had carefully cultivated him. Ren Hou possessed genuine talent and had even been accepted into Cambridge University in Arthur Country. So what was Wu Tian in comparison?
At that mont, Wu Tian was unaware that Qin Yuhan was arguing and placing bets on his behalf. He was completely engrossed in his duties, managing the logistics departnt in a neat and orderly fashion.
anwhile, because the thugs from the Underworld had called Wu Tian "Boss" in front of the Qin Corporation building, his na had once again spread like wildfire throughout the company. The stories grew more and more legendary, with many whispering that Wu Tian was a genuine mob boss.
Many female employees were also discussing him, though with a hint of regret. He was good-looking, but he seed to have no money. If only he were wealthy and knew how to dress, he would be perfect.
Wu Tian couldn’t have cared less. In his eyes, attracting too much attention wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
What mattered to him now was whether Xiao Liang and Xia Qian could get him the dicinal ingredients he needed.
Xiao Liang hadn’t contacted him in the past few days. Wu Tian did a quick ntal calculation and figured that Xiao Liang must be having a bout of romantic luck.
If Xiao Liang knew what Wu Tian had deduced, he would have been apoplectic.
Lucky in love? Not at all. Xiao Liang had simply run into an old fla.
In Xiao Liang’s life, there had been two won. The first was his deceased wife, and the second was his first love. And now, this first love, Tellam Kuangte, had co to Yang City and sought him out.
"I really didn’t expect you to co to see ," Xiao Liang said, genuinely surprised. "I especially didn’t expect you to co all the way to Dragon Country."
"For my illness, I had no choice," Tellam Kuangte said. In front of Xiao Liang, her face was pale and weak, completely lacking the tough facade she presented to others.
"Your illness? What’s going on?" Hearing her words, Xiao Liang grew worried. His marriage had been a union of interests between the Lanling Xiao Family and another great clan. His true love had always been Tellam Kuangte.
Now that he was old, this love wasn’t expressed with the sa passion as in his youth, but it was no less profound.
"For years, I’ve been consud by the family business, sleeping only three hours a night," Tellam Kuangte said calmly. "It’s caused my body’s functions to deteriorate, especially my heart. It’s about to give out. I ca to Dragon Country to find a truly skilled practitioner of traditional Chinese dicine... and to see you one last ti."
"You..." Xiao Liang choked, unsure of what to say. He still rembered when he first t her. She was only eighteen and had told him she’d run away from her family because she loved to have fun and eat. She hated working, especially the family business.
And now? She was constantly busy with work. Why? It was because only by throwing herself into her work could she forget the sorrow of the past.
The Five Surnas and Seven Families of Dragon Country looked down on the great families of Europe, and the sentint was mutual. Xiao Liang and Tellam Kuangte were like Roo and Juliet, unable to defy their families.
After they stared at each other for a long ti, Tellam Kuangte finally said, "I ca here to see you one last ti."
Xiao Liang knew she had co to Dragon Country under the pretext of establishing a foothold for the Kuangte Family, but her real purpose was to see him one last ti.
"No, no, no." Suddenly, a person ca to Xiao Liang’s mind. "There is soone who can definitely cure you! He may be young, but he is an extraordinary individual."
"Really?" Tellam Kuangte trusted Xiao Liang’s judgnt. If she could live, who would choose to die? "Do you really know soone like that?" she asked.
"Yes, I know him very well," Xiao Liang said joyfully. He felt that eting Wu Tian had been a stroke of incredible luck.
He imdiately took out his phone to call Wu Tian.
Tellam Kuangte, anwhile, was intrigued. What kind of young man could possibly earn such high praise from the man she loved?
「At the sa ti, at the Qin Corporation.」
Li Muge couldn’t focus on her work. What was Wu Tian’s relationship with the Underworld?
Feeling she couldn’t work until she found out, she went to look for Wu Tian. On her way, she was startled to see police officers arriving at the Qin Corporation.
Li Muge frowned. As she headed toward the logistics departnt, she noticed the police were going in the sa direction.
Upon reaching the departnt, the middle-aged policeman in the lead asked, "Which one of you is Wu Tian?"
The man had a square, serious face. From his appearance alone, he looked like the very picture of justice.
His question stunned everyone in the logistics departnt.
"I am," Wu Tian said as he stood up from his seat, his expression placid.
Whatever cos, I’ll face it.
The police might be intimidating to others, but to the current Wu Tian, the word "police" was no different from any other.
Seeing Wu Tian, the solemn-faced, middle-aged man’s expression grew even sterner.
"You’re a suspect in a murder case. You’re under arrest. Co with ."
"Hold on," Li Muge interjected. Her figure was stunning, but her gaze was sharp as she confronted the middle-aged policeman. "Which police station are you from? You can’t just arrest people like this!"
Are these even real cops? After all, Wu Tian has ties to the Underworld, and it’s common for criminals to impersonate police officers.
The middle-aged policeman’s eyes lit up when he saw Li Muge. She was the kind of woman whose re presence could make a man’s hormones surge. He took a deep breath before speaking. "I suggest you don’t get involved. It won’t do you any good."
"I’m his supervisor and his old classmate. How can I not get involved?" Li Muge’s tone was firm. "You can tell
what this is about, but you can’t just take him away without a reason."
This whole affair doesn’t feel this simple. Besides, in this day and age, you can’t always trust the police. Forced confessions are a real possibility.
"Alright, I’ll tell you what happened," the policeman said, his face a mask of righteousness. "He is suspected of murder and of crippling Wang Wei. According to Wang Wei’s statent, this man broke into his ho and attempted to assault his wife, Qiu Yanyan. When Wang Wei discovered him and tried to intervene, this man refused to listen and crippled him instead. Tell , shouldn’t the police deal with a person like that?"
"What?" Li Muge and the others were dumbfounded. The charges were severe enough to warrant the death penalty.
Just then, Wu Tian’s phone rang. He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was Xiao Liang.
As Wu Tian moved to answer, the middle-aged policeman stopped him. "No more contact with the outside world. You’re coming with
to the station. Now."
