Chapter 208 - Kowtows Save Your Life (1/2)

Everything comes to the end within ten minutes.

Cao Liyang, who stays calm while panicking on the inside, refuses to make the kowtows. Of course, Cao is not that tough. After Brother Leopard and his minions are down, Cao realizes that this woman is not ordinary… Cao never heard of cultivators. He only thinks that the woman knows some Kung Fu.

Sitting on the couch, Rong Donglin feels uneasy. All that just happened is like a dream and the situation has changed too fast. Yan Feng is sleeping on the corner of the couch, still holding that piece of stone. He has no idea about all of this.

Lin Luoran leans back on the couch and asks carelessly, “You said you worked for the Zeng’s company?”

The Zeng’s company is famous. Lin has heard of how rich the Zeng family is before she stepped on the path of cultivation… Four years ago, Lin couldn’t even afford 1 m2 of houses built by the Zeng’s company, and now she is going to meet the successor of the company. Things really change fast in this world.

Cao Liyang is blinking.

Lin Luoran looks at her watch. It’s half past seven now. The dinner back at home should have started. Since she is already late for dinner, Lin thinks she may as well help Rong settle things tonight.

“Alright. Call him.”

Cao is thinking that Lin Luoran does have scruples in the Zeng’s company as he expected. Though he is jealous that saying Zeng Tian’s name has calmed the situation down, Cao is relieved a bit.

He knows that Zeng Tian has been studying martial arts for over ten years. Even things go south later, Zeng will be able to settle this with his power… Although Cao feels ashamed by asking Zeng Tian for help, Cao is sure that Zeng will definitely be on his side because their friends.h.i.+p goes way back!

Cao Liyang dials Zeng Tian’s numbers under Lin’s watch.

Zeng doesn’t pick up the phone immediately. The busy tone rings. Looking at these minions lying on the ground and Brother Leopard who is s.h.i.+vering at the corner of the room, Cao gets anxious… Pick up the phone! Pick up! I don’t want to make kowtows…

“h.e.l.lo?” Zeng Tian picks up. Lin Luoran doesn’t recognize Zeng’s voice. Cao Liyang tells Zeng what has happened in a few words.

Of course, Cao didn’t tell the entire truth in order to maintain his pride.

Cao looks at the woman on the couch. Her eyes are closed. It’s like that she is resting or sleeping. Cao’s expressions become vicious.

**********

Zeng Tian has just come back from the tranquility when his phone rings.

As expected, life in the R City isn’t peaceful. Today, someone called and told him that workers of a suburban villa area of his company discovered an ancient tomb from the Han Dynasty. Experts had locked the area down. This was a good thing for the archaeological field. However, for the Zeng’s company, the unearthing of the tomb would delay the construction of the villas!

This bothers Zeng Tian a lot. Now, Cao Liyang just called him for help. Zeng feels even more troubled.

Zeng Tian has to go and help Cao. Cao really is a good judge of character. Though it has been so many years, Zeng cares about his friends.h.i.+p with Cao.

Soon, Zeng arrives at the bar. The front door is closed. Zeng has a feeling that things are not so simple as he thought.

Zeng gets off the car and pushes the door open…

Light music is still playing in this room. Lights are still flas.h.i.+ng. The waiters, the bartenders, the DJ, the bodyguards, and the actresses are all lying on the couch, sleeping.

There are no wounds on their bodies, and they don’t seem to be drugged. Zeng Tian now regrets that he has come alone.

Zeng gets nervous when he pushes the door of the private room open. The light is dim. At first sight, he sees people lying on the ground, unconsciously. Cao is sitting on the couch, agitated. There are three other people on the couch, but Zeng can’t see their faces clearly. Did these three people make trouble at the bar?

“Zeng Tian, you’re here!” Cao’s expressions are lighted up.

Compared with Cao Liyang, who is stupid and arrogant, Zeng Tian has high EQs. Zeng has noticed that things aren’t right, so he says politely,

“I apologize for Liyang. Fighting is meaningless. We can find another way out of this situation…”

Lin Luoran recognizes Zeng Tian immediately when he comes in.

Lin remembers that Zeng once bought some boluses from her. She also remembers that Zeng had a taste of the spirit wine she made… This is such a small world.

“Zeng Tian, why are you bullying students? Why are you not cultivating in the mountains?”

Zeng feels like being hit by a flash of lightning when he hears the voice. After he sees Lin’s face clearly, he feels that the lightening has changed into a strike of thunder. G.o.d! Zeng would like to be stricken to death by lightning instead of being in this embarra.s.sing situation!

“Ma… Master Lin…”

Anxiously, Zeng Tian wants to make a bow. Lin Luoran stops him.
