Chapter 186: Chapter 185 Miss is Angry Again

"Lin Tian, if her waist is gone, how can that be a good thing?" Xiao Manxuan looked at Lin Tian with curiosity, genuinely unable to think of any reason why it would be.

"Please wait a moment, I need to take out the silver needles." Regardless of what they were thinking, Lin Tian finished the final acupuncture session and removed all the needles. After disinfecting them, he packed them neatly into the cloth pouch.

He was unhurried and systematic, which made the little girl impatient again. She jumped up and, with worry, pulled Lin Tian to her and whispered, "You’re not in trouble, are you, bad guy? Look, Sister Song isn’t getting up; did something go wrong?"

Can’t you see I’m perfectly calm? If something had happened, would I still be sitting here? Annoyed, Lin Tian raised his hand intending to swat her backside, but there were too many people around to follow through, so he simply ruffled his hair and called out, "Sister Song, it’s time to get up. If you don’t, someone’s going to start swinging."

"Ah, I feel so relaxed, as if a heavy burden of many years has been lifted off me. I’ve never felt so clear-headed and invigorated." Song Yanan rolled over, stood up, and stretched lazily. Her delicate curves were fully revealed, then she took a long breath, as though she wanted to exhale years of stale air.

Wan Gaoyuan was firstly stunned, then his face lit up with surprise. He looked at his wife, then at Lin Tian, and hesitantly asked, "Brother Lin, what’s all this about her waist being gone? What happened?"

The others were confused, but Xiao Manxue seemed to have thought of something. Lin Tian smiled and said, "Miss seems to have figured it out. Why don’t you explain to everyone what’s going on?"

"I’m not sure if I’m correct..." The miss pondered for a moment before seriously saying, "Acupuncture stimulates acupoints, promoting the circulation of qi and blood, which is somewhat similar to how we Ancient Martial Artists meditate and circulate True Qi. When it reaches an optimal state, you enter a state akin to the Unity of Heaven and Man. In that state, the cultivator’s sensation of the material world becomes vague, and the external material world includes one’s own self. Of course, this state doesn’t happen every time; it appears only when True Qi circulates most effectively. So, I guess Brother Lin’s acupuncture achieved the best therapeutic effect, and that’s why Sister Song had the illusion of her waist being gone."

Clap, clap, clap... Lin Tian applauded. The miss was truly brilliant, not only providing a clear explanation, but also able to draw inferences from one another. Her quick learning ability was remarkable. No wonder she had been picked by an Ancient Martial Artist to be an apprentice since she was young.

Her sister, the Second Miss, also had an extremely sharp perception, able to quickly learn anything she set her mind to. What kind of genes did Mrs. Xiao pass down to have such a pair of talented sisters?

"Hmph..." The miss lifted her chin and snorted lightly, feeling Lin Tian’s applause was insincere. She had worked hard managing the Xiao Family and hadn’t received a single compliment from him; now, a couple of comments earned her praise, and she found it hard to accept.

"Haha, alright, alright, Brother Lin’s medical skills are impressive, and the miss’s explanation is indeed brilliant," Wan Gaoyuan said cheerfully, laughing heartily. "But still, Brother Lin, I have to ask, how is Yanan’s recovery going?"

That mattered for whether Song Yanan could start working on jade carving sooner. Patting his shoulder, Lin Tian smiled confidently and said, "Her recovery is very good, better than expected. In three to five days, Sister Song will be completely healed. But I would still recommend resting a full five days before getting back to work. And in the future, you should balance work with rest, preferably going to Zi Yan regularly to maintain your health. After all, jade carving work can strain the back quite a bit; if you develop a chronic condition, it won’t be so easy to heal. You wouldn’t want that, would you, Sister Song?"

"Of course not. After this scare, I’ll be careful. I trust Zi Yan’s skills, I’ll definitely visit. Besides, I need to see my two sisters too," Song Yanan said with a smile.

"That’s the best. Sister Song, you two should probably book a room at the hotel and stay overnight, as just after acupuncture, it’s not advisable for you to be out in the night air," Lin Tian typically reminded her, preventing them from going out carelessly.

Booking a room in the hotel wasn’t difficult, as Wan Gaoyuan and the owner were acquaintances, it was just a phone call away. Since Song Yanan needed rest, Wan Gaoyuan had a brief chat and then left.

Only after the two of them had left did Miss sternly ask, "Lin Tian, when you went to the underground garage to look at the jade earlier, did something happen? Don’t lie to me, I could smell the scent of blood as soon as you entered the door."

Fuck, was Miss a dog in a past life or something? Her nose is so sharp, she can smell blood out of thin air. Lin Tian curiously glanced at her pert nose a few times, it was good-looking, but there was nothing else special about it.

"Indeed, there was a group of people, they said they were from some assassin organization, using guns with suppressors, and Hellhound double-blade combat knives," Lin Tian briefly mentioned.

"Suppressors? Hellhound?" Miss repeated softly, then raised her voice, "They must have been mercenaries, not assassins, real assassins aren’t that simple. What did you do to them?"

"What could I do? They wanted to kill me, so of course, I killed them, but you can relax, there shouldn’t be anyone coming tonight," Lin Tian said indifferently. With Rossi watching, even if twice as many people came, what could they do?

Xiao Manxuan, upon hearing that something had happened in the underground garage, and recalling the kidnapping incident in Xikou City, which also took place in an underground garage, couldn’t help but feel nervous. However, seeing Lin Tian’s cool demeanor, she settled down inside.

"Hmph, always treating your life like it’s nothing... I can’t be bothered with you anymore. Xuanxuan, let’s rest; we’ll go back to Xikou City tomorrow!" Xiao Manxue said with a stern face. She wanted to say more, acknowledging that even those skilled at Cross Training could make mistakes, but then she remembered that Lin Tian had sparred with her master, not knowing what else to say, she felt irritated and ran back to the bedroom.

So she’s taken a dose of gunpowder, this lady, randomly throwing a tantrum for no reason, Lin Tian touched his nose, truly unable to understand; truly, women are as unfathomable as the sea. To the ever-silent Secretary Xu, he said, "Is President Xiao on her period today? Why the sudden burst of anger?"

"..."

"Forget it, women always have those few days every month; I won’t lower myself to her level. Secretary Xu, now that you know about these incidents, do we need to report them to the police?" Lin Tian mused, accustomed to Secretary Xu’s silence.

"Apart from the tasks arranged by President Xiao, I never meddle in other affairs," Secretary Xu glanced at him, said flatly, and then returned to the bedroom, leaving Lin Tian to puzzle over the situation alone.

What’s going on, not a single normal woman in the house? Or are they all on their period at the same time? Lin Tian looked at the women’s rooms, his mind in disarray.

Three women make a scene; if I can’t deal with it, can’t I just avoid it? Lin Tian curled his lip and went back to his own room. Lying on the bed, touching his forehead, Lin Tian thought again about the mysterious fire imprint that appeared during acupuncture, now the second occurrence. The female zombie had said it would appear only upon the activation of fire power. Could it be that he had triggered it just now?

Moreover, Song Yanan’s recovery was several times faster than expected. Could it be related to the appearance of this imprint? Question after question surfaced in Lin Tian’s mind, his head spinning, not knowing when he had drifted off to sleep.
