Chapter 427: Chapter 426: Strange Combination

"Damn it, you think everyone is like you?" Lin Tian curled his lip disdainfully, "Brother, I am still all-original."

"Brother Lin, watch what you say. In my heart, there’s only Ou Mengmeng, don’t smear me, brother. I’m an honest man." Zhou Botong hurriedly defended himself, seemingly terrified that Ou Mengmeng would overhear Lin Tian’s words.

"Damn, my reputation is ruined by you. Enough of this nonsense, let’s talk business." Lin Tian said unhappily. "Do you know about the Qi Family’s situation?"

"You mean Qi Dapeng’s family? Of course, I do. It caused quite a stir in Xikou City, with acquisitions worth several billions. It’s not a small deal," Zhou Botong replied, pouring himself a drink and sighing.

Lin Tian asked further, "Is it true that Qi Dapeng hates the Japanese?"

Zhou Botong thought for a moment before responding, "He has never expressed such sentiments in public, but it’s said that back when he was fighting underground, he would always kill his Japanese opponents. The rumors must be true. Therefore, other families find it strange that Qi Dapeng would sell his company to the Japanese. Moreover, he didn’t change careers or emigrate but willingly stayed on as the CEO. It’s bizarre."

Being a CEO sounds impressive, but it’s still being an employee. For many people, that would be more than adequate. However, a person like Qi Dapeng, how could he possibly be willing to work under the Japanese as their CEO?

"Could the Bai Family have interfered?" inquired Lin Tian.

"That’s unlikely. Although the Qi and Bai families cooperate, the Qi Family isn’t subordinate to the Bai Family. It’s impossible they would obey the Bai Family," Zhou Botong shook his head, then asked, "Why are you so interested in the Qi Family’s business?"

"I’ve had some issues with people from Rizhao Group. I bet Futian Yizhi dreams of killing me," Lin Tian said nonchalantly, briefly recounting the conflict on the plane to Zhou Botong.

As for the Japanese targeting the Xiao Family, Lin Tian didn’t elaborate. It involved too many dangerous elements, even non-human forces, and Zhou Botong was just an ordinary person, incapable of handling it.

"Damn it, since the Gambling Stone Festival, I knew those Rizhao Group bastards were no good. It’s said that Futian Shenyi even declared he’d take back his Bugatti Veyron, what a joke..." Zhou Botong said indignantly.

As he continued to curse, Lin Tian suddenly stopped him with a hand gesture. Zhou Botong was mid-rant and puzzled by the interruption.

Lin Tian pointed towards the direction of the bar’s entrance. Over there, three people had walked in, one man and two women. The man was middle-aged but burly and short-necked, evidently quick-tempered.

The two women, on the other hand, were quite the opposite: slender and dressed not revealingly but in form-fitting floral dresses that accentuated their figures beautifully.

The two women followed closely behind the middle-aged man, looking part mistress, part female bodyguard—a rather strange impression. But then their arrival at a bar in broad daylight was even stranger.

However, these weren’t the reasons Lin Tian was paying attention, because he recognized all three of them.

"Damn, speak of the devil, and the devil appears," Zhou Botong whispered with widened eyes, "Seeing ghosts in broad daylight, what is Qi Dapeng doing at a bar? And, with two such young and beautiful women, that’s not his style at all. This guy is rich but not lecherous."

"How do you know he’s not lecherous?" Lin Tian asked curiously, though he was actually pondering who had healed Qi Dapeng’s injuries.

"The circles of the wealthy are actually quite small, and they generally don’t bother to hide their affairs with women; it’s all an open secret. Though Qi Dapeng plays his role in business, I’ve really never heard of him keeping a mistress," Zhou Botong explained.

"Is that so?" Lin Tian smiled slightly, saying nonchalantly, "Heh, those two beauties, I know them."

"You know them, damn, don’t tell me you..." Zhou Botong gave him a strange look, cutting off mid-sentence, but his implication was clear—he thought Lin Tian had been involved with them.

"You’re thinking too much," Lin Tian looked at him disdainfully and revealed their background: "I met these two women recently, they are Japanese..."

These two slender women were the same ones Futian Yizhi had intended to give Lin Tian, though he had not accepted them.

They seemed very submissive, but Zi Yan had speculated they might be female spies.

"Damn, Lin Tian, no offense, but such beautiful and well-figured women, even if they are Japanese, even if they are spies, you could have kept them for yourself. Are you really not capable of handling two mere female spies?" This time, it was Zhou Botong’s turn to look down on Lin Tian, his face full of pity.

He might say that out of pity, but Lin Tian knew this guy was all talk and no action—he even wore a mask to buy underwear, purely bold in words only.

"I’m not afraid of them, but they could hurt my friends, and I’m not going to do something stupid like that," Lin Tian said calmly, and Zhou Botong fell silent.

At that moment, the three newcomers also noticed Lin Tian in the hall. Qi Dapeng’s face showed a strange expression when he saw Lin Tian; he should have been angry, but his eyes, strangely, flashed with delight.

The two Japanese women, though submissive, subtly shifted their eyebrows and looked somewhat wary.

Lin Tian was taken aback; the trio’s expressions were quite discordant. If the two women were corporate spies, their wary expression was understandable, but Qi Dapeng’s joy was bizarre.

To see one’s enemy and react with joy—had Qi Dapeng lost his mind?

Qi Dapeng and his companions merely glanced at Lin Tian but said nothing, choosing to sit down at a nearby table instead.

After ordering drinks, Qi Dapeng started drinking alone, but the two women didn’t touch their drinks, creating a somewhat strange atmosphere.

After a few drinks, Qi Dapeng suddenly stood up and said, "I’m off to the bathroom; you girls just stay here."

As he turned, he covertly glanced at Lin Tian before heading towards the bathroom. However, the two Japanese women didn’t follow his directive and got up, trailing behind Qi Dapeng.

To announce going to the bathroom out loud—was that meant for me? Interesting, really interesting, Lin Tian’s lips curled into a smirk.
