Chapter 68 Almost
Having returned home with Wang Luodan, Wang Tao was waiting at home. Seeing Lin Tian, Wang Tao wasn't too surprised.
"Let's go," Lin Tian said calmly after giving them both a glance.
Wang Luodan and her partner didn't speak. They picked up some documents, packed a bit, and walked out.
They then took a taxi to the Civil Affairs Bureau and followed the procedure on arrival.
Lin Tian, somewhat bored, watched the two bustling around.
After almost half an hour, the staff at the Civil Affairs Bureau stamped the big seal on the divorce certificate.
The moment the seal was stamped, an electronic synthesized voice echoed in Lin Tian's mind: "Task: The follow-up mission 'Help Wang Luodan divorce' has been completed. Reward: one Supernatural Point."
Hearing this voice, Lin Tian, who had been bored leaning against the wall, was delighted: "Finally done."
Then he walked over to them with a smile.
Looking at them, Lin Tian said with a smile, "Congratulations to you both on regaining your freedom. I'll be leaving first. See you again if fate wills it!"
With that, Lin Tian left with a light step.
"Uh..." Wang Luodan and Wang Tao were stunned as they watched Lin Tian turn and leave, dumbfounded.
What's with this guy, so strange, going through all that trouble to get them divorced and then just leaving without a care?
Are there really such people?
After leaving the Civil Affairs Bureau, Lin Tian hummed a tune and walked away.
As for what Wang Luodan and the other person thought, he didn't care. He didn't want to spend the energy explaining, as long as he had secured the Supernatural Points that was enough.
"The two Supernatural Points I saved earlier, plus the one I just got, now I have three Supernatural Points," Lin Tian quietly calculated his Supernatural Points.
Thinking for a moment about his superpower, Lin Tian put his thoughts aside and murmured to himself, "It's time to leave this place, I've had enough fun here, and it's boring being here by myself. I'll take a plane to visit Mengting tomorrow."
After playing on the beach for so many days, he had done everything there was to do, and with He Qianqian not around, Lin Tian decided to leave.
"I wonder what Mengting is up to, whether she misses me or not," Lin Tian thought to himself.
Originally, Lin Tian wanted to invite Bu Mengting to come to Sanya for some fun, but thinking of He Qianqian by his side, he didn't put that thought into action.
Having beauties on each arm is wonderful, but Lin Tian simply couldn't handle it right now.
Lin Tian was certain that if he had really done so, he might end up alone, most likely spending a lonely and silent night.
"I wonder how Qianqian is doing? The last time we talked on the phone, she said her grandmother's condition was not optimistic," Lin Tian pondered for a moment, then muttered to himself: "I'll go to check on her after I see Mengting."
Having decided on his itinerary, Lin Tian hailed a taxi and went back to the hotel.Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Back at the hotel, he packed up, gathering all the things he needed to take and then booked a flight for the next morning.
After lunch, with nothing else to do, Lin Tian aimlessly wandered the streets.
Lin Tian didn't want to go to crowded places. In some quiet places, he felt a different kind of charm.
Slowly walking, not just looking around, he felt the surrounding architecture, experiencing the passing of years on these structures, imagining all kinds of stories that happened within this time.
It was quite interesting.
As he walked on, suddenly a frantic screeching of brakes sounded!
"Squeak, squeak~~!" The sudden braking left two black skid marks on the cement road.
Lin Tian turned his head in surprise.
As soon as he turned his head, Lin Tian's pupils contracted!
A gaping black hole!
A black barrel of a gun was pointing at him!
"Pfft!"
A faint sound suddenly emerged—that of a silenced gunshot!
Bang!
Lin Tian felt a surge of force against his chest!
Stumbling, Lin Tian's chest suddenly burst with blood!
With gritted teeth, Lin Tian staggered toward a nearby alleyway.
"Pfft! Pfft!" As Lin Tian was too fast, the next few shots failed to hit him.
"Damn! Missed! You wait here, I'll go down and finish him off!" The young man holding the gun cursed, said something to the driver, and then jumped out of the car to pursue.
When he reached the entrance of the alley, he just saw Lin Tian disappear around the corner.
Seeing this, he hurriedly chased after him.
"Huff, huff!" Leaning against a corner wall, Lin Tian gasped heavily, his right hand tightly clutching his left chest.
That was close!
That shot was so close to hitting his heart!
If he hadn't snapped back to reality and tensed his muscles at the crucial moment, the bullet definitely could have hit his heart.
The pain in his chest made Lin Tian wince, his complexion turning a bit pale.
"Damn!" Lin Tian cursed, quickly summoning the superpower menu.
Lin Tian could already hear the footsteps of his pursuer.
Opening the superpower menu, he skimmed through it and his gaze immediately settled on an option: Level 0 Healing Water. Requires one Supernatural Point to exchange.
Seeing the Healing Water, Lin Tian exchanged for it without hesitation.
With a thought from Lin Tian, a small glass bottle suddenly appeared in his hand.
Meanwhile, the footsteps behind him were getting closer.
Struggling, Lin Tian stood up and quickly moved away, 'pop' opening the Healing Water and downing it in one gulp.
"Whew!" After drinking the Healing Water, Lin Tian stopped at a corner to catch his breath.
As the Healing Water went down, Lin Tian felt a surge of warmth in his stomach, which quickly traveled to his left chest.
Eventually, the warmth stopped at the wound.
With the arrival of the warmth, Lin Tian could feel his muscles at the wound site begin to shift.
As the muscles moved, the bullet that had been lodged in Lin Tian's flesh began to slowly push outward.
A few seconds later, the bloodied bullet dropped to the ground with a plop.
As the bullet fell, Lin Tian's wound began to stop bleeding.
Meanwhile, Lin Tian felt an itching sensation at the wound, a sign that flesh was beginning to grow back.
The growth of the flesh bud was incredibly fast; within just a few seconds, Lin Tian could feel the wound had already healed.
Lin Tian looked down to see the scar on his chest had fallen off, leaving skin that was slightly tender but otherwise indistinguishable from the rest.
At that moment, the footsteps were heard again.
Upon hearing the footsteps, Lin Tian's eyes narrowed, with a glint of murderous intent flashing through them!
"Tap, tap..." The footsteps drew closer at a slow pace.
Lin Tian took a deep breath, picked up a small stone from the ground, and pressed his body against the wall, silently waiting.
"Tap, tap..." The footsteps approached gradually.
They were near!
Lin Tian's eyes narrowed as he lightly tossed the small stone in his hand outwards.
Tap!
The stone started rolling suddenly!
The person instinctively looked towards the stone.
In that instant, Lin Tian's muscles tensed up, and he pushed off the ground with a shout: "Hey!"
Whoosh!
Lin Tian moved swiftly, even causing a whistling sound in the air!
The person, who had just focused on the stone, had no time to react. Just as he attempted to lift his gun to shoot at Lin Tian, Lin Tian already kicked at his gun-holding wrist!
Crack!
Ah! A scream resounded!
Lin Tian's kick had broken the wrist holding the gun!
In an instant, the wrist was fractured at a sixty-degree angle, and the gun in his hand flew out!
"Hey!" Lin Tian closed in, his knee slamming harshly into the other man's abdomen!
"Oof!" The man crumpled to the ground in pain.
Lin Tian, with an expressionless face, delivered several more merciless kicks!
Crack, crack!
The sounds of bones breaking echoed one after another!
Lin Tian had rendered the man's limbs useless!
After doing all this, Lin Tian finally let out a breath and relaxed somewhat.
He glanced at the person writhing in agony on the ground but didn't pay him any more attention, instead walking over to pick up the pistol that had fallen to the side.
Weighing the pistol, Lin Tian walked towards the man and pointed the barrel at his forehead, demanding coldly, "Speak, why are you trying to kill me!"
With the ominous barrel pointed at his forehead, the man turned pale and managed to say with a pained face, "Someone else told me to kill you!"
"Who?"
"Wu Fei!"
"Wu Fei?" Lin Tian frowned, as he did not recognize anyone named Wu Fei.
Suddenly, Lin Tian thought of someone and asked, "Is Wu Fei the young man with dyed yellow hair?"
"Yes, yes!" the man nodded hurriedly.
"Good!" Lin Tian's eyes narrowed slightly, and he finally figured out who it was.
Lin Tian truly hadn't expected that Wu Fei would actually arrange for someone to kill him.
"Since you dare to do this, prepare to face my wrath!" A cold light flickered in Lin Tian's eyes.
With that in mind, Lin Tian lifted the man with one hand and quickly made his way back to the original spot.
Lin Tian remembered that they must have driven a car here.
Meanwhile, at the entrance of the alley, the driver was waiting boredly, somewhat complaining about the man taking too long.
After a while, he suddenly heard footsteps and thought it was the man returning; when he turned his head, he discovered the barrel of a gun pointing at him.
Lin Tian activated his superpower and scanned the driver, making sure he was unarmed before he felt somewhat relieved. Lin Tian opened the car door, threw the man in his hands inside, and then took a seat himself, commanding coldly, "Drive."
"Where to?" the driver asked, sweating and clearly uneasy with a gun pointed at him.
"To find Wu Fei! Where is he now?"
"..." After hesitating, the driver answered, "He's at home now."
"Drive straight there, and don't lie to me. My bullet doesn't discriminate whom it hits!" Lin Tian said coldly.
Sweat covered the driver's face as he prepared to drive.
Half an hour later, the car stopped outside a large mansion in the suburbs.
Lin Tian scanned the mansion; it was so large it encompassed thousands of square meters.
Moreover, it had its own dedicated gatekeepers.
The mansion was extremely dominating, surrounded by trees that kept other mansions at bay.
"This is it. I advise you not to act rashly. You can't contend with the power of the Wu Family!" the driver warned.
"Is that so?" Lin Tian's eyes narrowed, and he ordered, "Charge through!"
"What?" the driver was taken aback.
Lin Tian pressed the gun against the top of his head and said coldly, "Didn't you hear me? I told you to charge through! At the fastest speed!"
If he could drive himself, he wouldn't need this man!
With the barrel against his head, the driver gritted his teeth and floored the gas pedal!
"Whoosh!"
The black Audi's speed soared to its limit!
Tearing through the air with a howling noise!
Boom!
With a loud crash, the black Audi slammed violently against the mansion's gate!
The entire gate shook!
