Chapter 430: Chapter 429: Wall-Climbing Master

"Stop, stop, Brother Lin, if you don’t stop now, it’s going to snap," Zhou Botong shouted, his face looking a bit unsightly.

Lin Tian stopped and saw that the issue was with the pulling posture, Zhou Botong had been choked.

"Your reaction’s a bit slow, could it be excessive internal heat? Brother, let me give you a couple of acupuncture needles," Lin Tian put him down and joked.

"What needles? I’m good in the kidney department, a real man, and you’re saying I have excessive internal heat?" Zhou Botong, feeling challenged, retorted loudly.

While he was speaking loudly, a BMW car drove by in front of them, with the car window half-open. The person in the back seat stealthily glanced at Lin Tian, then closed the window.

"Brother Lin, those two women were in that BMW just now, did you see them?" Zhou Botong called out. Despite bending over, his eyes were sharp.

"Saw them, that’s Qi Dapeng’s car, if not there, then where? Let’s go, we’ll follow them," Lin Tian said, turning to fetch his vehicle.

Once Zhou Botong was also in the car, Lin Tian aimed in the direction and stepped on the gas to leave.

"What are we following them for? Do you have some sort of arrangement with Qi Dapeng?" Zhou Botong asked, puzzled.

"There is an arrangement, but he doesn’t know I’m following. Let’s just go and see," Lin Tian didn’t explain much and kept driving.

"But their car has vanished, how will you follow? Aren’t we going to lose them?" Zhou Botong looked ahead, the BMW was out of sight and he couldn’t help expressing his surprise.

Lin Tian laughed, "Those two women are very alert, and our bulletproof car is too conspicuous. If we follow too closely, we’ll be detected. I have my ways to keep up, don’t worry."

After saying that, Lin Tian’s penetrating gaze shot through the traffic, seeing the BMW car a kilometer away. He just kept an eye on the car, leisurely following behind.

The BMW weaved through traffic, and Qi Dapeng stopped a few times along the way, going into shops to buy things. However, each time he got out, the two women followed behind. Lin Tian wasn’t in a hurry, holding back and waiting each time they stopped.

It seemed that after shopping and getting back into the car from a mall, Qi Dapeng rested with his eyes closed, leaving the driving to the Japanese woman.

The BMW left the bustling area and after a twenty-minute ride, arrived at a villa district.

"We’re here, get out!" Lin Tian stopped the car far away and woke Zhou Botong, who was nearly asleep.

"We’re here? Why did it take so long?" Zhou Botong asked, puzzled. Then he looked around at the setting, and said, "I remember there’s a villa district up ahead. Could it be that we’re going to Qi Dapeng’s house?"

"You guessed it, but we’re going quietly. We have to climb over the wall; you can just wait for me in the car," Lin Tian said, opening the car door to get out.

But Zhou Botong also got out, unhappy, "A secret infiltration, how could I miss out on something so fun as wall climbing? Back in school, I climbed over more walls than I walked through school gates, how could that be difficult for me?"

"You even find honor in climbing walls, do you want a medal for it?" Lin Tian said disdainfully, but he didn’t stop him, allowing him to follow.

They were about six or seven hundred meters from the villa district when Lin Tian and Zhou Botong arrived on foot outside the encircling wall. Zhou Botong, who claimed to be a wall-climbing expert, was taken aback at the sight of the wall.

The wall was at least three meters high, with a half-meter-high iron railing on top of it. The tips of the railing were sharp. One could imagine the sensation if one accidentally impaled oneself while climbing over; that unique discomfort was something one would probably never forget for a lifetime.

Obviously considering the same issue, Zhou Botong clenched his buttocks and took two steps back.

"Scared?" Lin Tian asked with a laugh, looking at him.

"How could I be? I’m just stepping back to give myself a running start to jump up," Zhou Botong retorted with a stiff neck.

To think he came up with the idea of running to jump over it—as if he could make it up there. But how would he get past the security cameras, and how would he get down inside? It’s easy to get up, but hard to come down.

Not wanting to waste time, Lin Tian suddenly reached out, grabbed Zhou Botong’s belt, and with a leap, vaulted over the three-meter-high wall. By the time Zhou Botong reacted, Lin Tian was already inside the villa area.

"You...you know Qinggong?" he stammered in astonishment, pointing at Lin Tian.

"You forgot, I’m an Ancient Martial Artist," Lin Tian replied before turning and walking away.

Zhou Botong hurried to catch up, his face fawning, "Brother Lin, oh, no, Brother Lin, could you teach me that Qinggong?"

"Sure, this Qinggong is called the Ascending Cloud Ladder. You must start training from childhood. With good comprehension, you can achieve the effect I just did in fifteen years. Most importantly, before Qinggong is fully mastered, one must remain a virgin. Do you still want to learn, Brother Zhou?" Lin Tian said solemnly.

He wasn’t making it up. There really was a skill called the Ascending Cloud Ladder in Ancient Martial practices, though he only heard about it from Xiao Manxue and had no idea how to practice it.

"Virgin? Fifteen years? Forget I asked," Zhou Botong quickly gave up.

His virginity was long gone, given to some female student, and even if he could turn back time, with his temperament, abstaining from pleasure would likely make him sick.

Lin Tian ignored him and headed towards Qi Dapeng’s direction. Through his x-ray vision, he had already located the Qi Family’s position.

When they arrived outside the Qi Family Mansion, the wall-scaling expert Zhou Botong was dumbfounded again; there was another wall, about two meters high, with metal fences just the same.

Knowing Zhou Botong couldn’t climb it, Lin Tian simply grabbed him and leapt into the Qi Family’s area. As soon as he landed, Lin Tian knew something was wrong, because not far away lay a dog—or more precisely, a Tibetan Mastiff—which immediately lifted its head.

However, it detected nothing, as Lin Tian moved with extraordinary speed, taking Zhou Botong to the back of the villa.

"Damn it, why do all these rich people keep Tibetan Mastiffs as guards? We nearly got caught," Lin Tian cursed.

"Big deal. You haven’t seen the really impressive ones. Do you know about the Li Family in the south? They have two cheetahs guarding their home!" Zhou Botong said enviously. As for Lin Tian’s movement a moment ago, he chalked it up to Ancient Martial prowess.

"Right, what are we doing here?" Zhou Botong asked again.

"We’re here to find Mr. Qi," Lin Tian said, then went on to tell him about Mr. Qi’s mysterious illness.

"No way, who’s causing trouble?" Zhou Botong looked surprised after hearing this and then asked, "Do you know where Mr. Qi is? The mansion is even bigger than my house."

Lin Tian didn’t answer, instead activating his super x-ray vision, making everything in the Qi Family visible at a glance.

Qi Dapeng was in his study, deep in thought; two Japanese women were in the living room of the villa; and Mr. Qi, who had fallen ill, was just in a room in the back courtyard. Now, past mealtime, there were no servants moving around in the backyard.

"Qi Dapeng said he is in the back courtyard’s house. Look, it’s right there," Lin Tian lied, leading the way.

"The door is locked from the outside. How strange. What kind of illness requires locking from the outside? Are they worried Mr. Qi will run out and start a fire or something?" Lin Tian frowned as he spoke.
