Chapter 562: Chapter 559 Finally Started
Although Lin Tian knew that Guo Caizhe was deliberately arranged by the Bai Family, without Bai Zhengchu admitting it, he couldn’t do anything to the Bai Family’s people in public.
"Lin Tian, you will handle this matter, but do not let it affect the auction," Mrs. Xiao instructed.
Lin Tian understood Mrs. Xiao’s intention, turned to Shi Feifei, and said, "Miss Shi, you may continue the auction now."
Having said that, he walked toward Guo Caizhe, smiled, and said, "Since you dared to come in, you should have thought of the consequences of being discovered."
"You... what do you want to do?" Guo Caizhe stuttered.
"What I want to do, you will find out soon enough," Lin Tian said with a smile.
Guo Caizhe stood up and tried to back away, but after retreating only two steps, he bumped into someone. Turning around, he saw it was Lin Tian. Lin Tian had moved behind him in a flash, not giving him any chance for further talk, reached out, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up. Guo Caizhe struggled hard but couldn’t break free from Lin Tian’s grip.
The big shots upstairs had been watching with cold eyes from beginning to end, and even as Lin Tian made his move to restrain Guo Caizhe, no one spoke out against it.
"Mr. Bai, do the two of you have any objections?" Lin Tian asked, holding Guo Caizhe up and looking at Bai Yuze and Futian Shenyi with a cold smile.
"Of course not, I didn’t even know this person before," Bai Yuze said hastily.
"With such little courage, you really are nothing but trash," Lin Tian said disdainfully, and then carried Guo Caizhe toward the main entrance.
Bai Yuze’s face filled with rage as he was called trash, and watching Lin Tian’s retreating figure, he was on the brink of rushing forward to duel, but remembering the gap between himself and Lin Tian was like having a bucket of cold water thrown over him, sobering him considerably.
"Put me down, put me down..." Guo Caizhe, unable to escape, could only shout, but even shouting with all his might his voice didn’t carry, as Lin Tian had a hold of his neck.
"You wanted to be put down," Lin Tian said with a cold laugh, pushed open the door with one hand, and with a swing, tossed Guo Caizhe out.
There was a "bang" as Guo Caizhe smashed hard onto the ground, in so much pain he couldn’t cry out.
"Miss Shi, as I said, you may continue presiding over the auction now. Pardon me for a moment," Lin Tian still addressed Shi Feifei, then turned and left, closing the main door behind him.
It was the afternoon, the sun shone brightly but was not scorching. The outside staff, seeing someone suddenly fly out, thought something big had happened inside and started to cause a stir, wanting to crowd around and see. But seeing Lin Tian come out, they each returned to their own places.
Lin Tian didn’t concern himself with them and went over to pick up Guo Caizhe again. Just a moment ago he could still struggle a bit, but now he was limp like a ragdoll, as soft as noodles, utterly powerless to resist as Lin Tian lifted him.
Lin Tian carried Guo Caizhe with ease as he stepped away, but the nearby staff only saw a blur, and Lin Tian’s figure had already vanished.
It was Lin Tian who had accelerated away from the auction, only stopping outside the Tianfu Restaurant.
"What... what do you want to do?" Guo Caizhe recovered a bit of strength and trembled as he spoke.
"What do you think you are? Worth me taking you out specially to then finish you off? If I weren’t worried about affecting the auction, I would have broken your legs back there in the venue," Lin Tian once again threw him to the ground, disdainfully said.
Guo Caizhe was nothing more than a pawn of others, and perhaps didn’t even qualify to be a pawn. Against such a person, Lin Tian felt no desire to even lift a finger.
Lin Tian turned to look at the large tree outside the restaurant, bent down to pick up Guo Caizhe, and with a leap, he jumped to the highest point of the tree. He then pulled out Guo Caizhe’s belt and tied him to a branch.
"Stay up there and have a good time. When someone discovers you, you can come down. Of course, you can also shout, but if I were you, I would rather not. Because that way you’ll end up naked on the front page." Lin Tian smirked wickedly and with a pull, stripped Guo Caizhe of his clothes.
"You..." Guo Caizhe’s face turned red, choking almost unable to breathe.
Lin Tian ignored him, easily jumped down from the tree, and then looked up to notice this tree had some years on it. The place where he tied Guo Caizhe up was about three stories high, and most of the trunk was smooth and slippery, offering no grip or means to ascend or descend.
Lin Tian considered this punishment light. Guo Caizhe should be grateful he didn’t know martial arts and was just an ordinary person; otherwise, Lin Tian’s actions wouldn’t have been limited to just tying him to a tree but would have involved breaking limbs.
"Your punishment is quite ingenious." Just as Lin Tian was about to turn back to the restaurant, a voice suddenly came from behind a tree.
"Miss Luoxi, what are you doing hiding behind the tree?" Lin Tian said.
He knew it was Ning Luoxi right away. Having made such a scene taking the man out, it wasn’t strange that Ning Luoxi had seen and followed along.
As expected, Ning Luoxi walked out from behind a large tree, still in her waitress cheongsam. Lin Tian couldn’t help but swallow hard; he couldn’t help it, the woman’s figure was too good. It would be impossible not to fantasize unless one was not a man.
"Why hasn’t there been any news for so long? Perhaps the Gu Cultivator isn’t planning to make a move?" Lin Tian put aside the not-safe-for-work thoughts in his head and asked seriously.
"It should be about time. Thunder Wolf just reported that there are suspicious vehicles following them, and it’s three cars with people trailing each. It seems the Gu Cultivator has a big appetite; no matter which of us is real or fake, he wants to swallow us all in one gulp," Ning Luoxi said.
"Of course, when the truth is not known, this is the safest method. And Japan is their home ground; if it were me, I would do the same," Lin Tian agreed.
"Have your people gotten hold of the genuine jadeite? Don’t let anything happen, like someone making a surprise counterattack and snatching the real jadeite," Ning Luoxi said, slightly frowning.
"It’s not in hand yet. I’ve asked them to coordinate with your actions. Once you encounter a blockade, that’s my cue to have them act, and they will take the jadeite without giving a heads-up, staging a robbery to make the act look more real," Lin Tian said with a smile.
"You’d better time it right because if they can’t make it to the auction venue in time with the jadeite, I wonder how you’re going to explain that to the auctioneers," Ning Luoxi reminded him.
"If they can’t make it to the venue with that pace, I think apart from you and me, no one else could handle this task. So, rest assured, the person I’ve arranged is absolutely reliable," Lin Tian said confidently.
Ning Luoxi gave him a look, her curiosity piqued, "I’m curious to know just how many secrets you have that I’m not aware of."
"You shouldn’t be curious about a man; that could be the beginning of falling in love with him," Lin Tian quipped.
"Your skin is thick enough," Ning Luoxi shot back unreservedly with a glance.
"Thanks for the compliment..." Lin Tian started to say but was cut short as his smart wristband vibrated. Rossi’s voice rang in his ear.
Ning Luoxi’s expression also turned serious, "It’s finally started!"
