"Hehe! The Dragon-Capturing Hall has quite the grand scale!"
Upon receiving this news, Wu Tian's lips curled into a cold smile, and a hint of chill flashed in his eyes.
Although there is no conclusive intelligence indicating that the Dragon-Capturing Hall was directly involved.
But he already understood the situation perfectly, and he roughly knew the reasons behind it.
Having just learned that the Dragon-Capturing Hall had joined forces with the three major families of Linhai City to plot against him, there were announcements online offering a large reward for his capture. If this wasn't the Dragon-Capturing Hall involved, who else could it be?
The swiftness of the Dragon-Capturing Hall's operation and the keenness of Jin Lingyun's intelligence were truly admirable.
What was truly surprising was that Jin Lingyun's information came from an unfamiliar number.
Although this surprised him slightly, he didn't delve into it. After all, the eldest daughter of the Jin family was of noble status and had multiple identities, so it was not surprising.
At this moment, a dark cloud hung over Wu Tian's heart. The matter of the bounty was still unclear, and he didn't know where the assassin was hiding or when he would make his move.
However, he remained calm and believed that "when water comes, earth will block it; when soldiers come, generals will defend them." He simply waited for the storm to pass and knew he had a plan to deal with it.
Time flies, and several days pass without any sign of the assassin, but unexpectedly, Ren Gang appears.
Upon meeting, Ren Gang smiled wryly and said, "Ah Tian, it was so hard to find you. It was like looking for a needle in a haystack. I only found you after coming to the Xia Group."
Wu Tian frowned slightly, puzzled, and asked, "If you wanted to find me, why didn't you call?"
Ren Gang's wry smile deepened, and he said helplessly, "If I had your phone number, why would I go through all this trouble? Do you have a cell phone now?"
Wu Tian suddenly realized, slapped his forehead and laughed, "I've had it for a long time, I just forgot to tell you, this is my number. By the way! What do you need me for?"
Ren Gang didn't answer, but turned to Xia Xue with a hint of mockery in his eyes: "Sister-in-law, could you lend me A-Tian for a day?"
Xia Xue blushed slightly upon hearing this and said with a smile, "You're brothers, so if you have any questions, just ask him."
Ren Gang smiled helplessly and said, "But he needs your approval before I dare to speak up."
Xia Xue smiled slightly, feeling warm inside, and replied gently, "Brother Tian, I'm fine here. Since Brother Gang has important matters to discuss, you can go ahead without worry."
After she finished speaking, her gaze softened, full of trust and support.
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian felt a surge of warmth in his heart, and his gaze towards Xia Xue softened even more.
He nodded slightly and said to Ren Gang, "Speak, what is it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ren Gang swiftly grabbed Wu Tian and hurriedly stepped out the door, his tone filled with urgency: "Brother, I need your help urgently."
Despite having countless doubts in his heart, Wu Tian could only follow Ren Gang and walk away quickly.
Before leaving, he made meticulous arrangements, ordering the female bodyguards to strictly guard their posts and ensure Xia Xue's safety.
At the same time, Jin Cheng was also entrusted with an important task: to remain vigilant at all times and detect any subtle movements around Xia Xue.
He remained indifferent to the bounty posted online by the Dragon Capture Hall, but Xia Xue's safety was his untouchable soft spot.
Soon, Ren Gang waved his hand, and a taxi arrived. The two of them got in, and the wheels rolled on, carrying them on an unknown journey.
Inside the car, Wu Tian finally couldn't contain his curiosity: "What exactly is it?"
Ren Gang, however, feigned mystery, a sly smile playing on his lips: "You'll know when we get there. I can only warn you that this is a very good thing."
Looking at Ren Gang's slightly cunning smile, Wu Tian couldn't help but shake his head with a wry smile, but his heart was filled with ripples.
Eight years have passed, it feels like a lifetime ago. How long ago was it that they were just as carefree and laughing and joking?
Now, having experienced many changes in life, that innocence has long been buried deep in my heart, leaving only a faint sense of nostalgia.
Half an hour later, the taxi slowly came to a stop in front of the No. 7 Middle School in Linhai City.
Wu Tian asked with a puzzled look, "Why did you bring me here?"
Ren Gang chuckled, paying the fare as he explained, "I'm taking you back to familiar places, to find those fragments left behind in your youthful memories. After all these years, let's see how much of your restless youth you still remember."
With his gaze piercing through the school gate, Wu Tian caught a glimpse of the familiar teaching building, where the rocket-shaped structure still stood.
In an instant, memories of my youthful days flooded back like a tide, and an indescribable warmth welled up in my heart.
Just as he was lost in the past, an untimely taunt broke the silence: "Heh, isn't this the former young master of the Wu family? What's this, switching from a luxury car to a taxi, here to experience the hardships of ordinary life?"
Looking in the direction of the sound, he saw a man in a flashy shirt with a gleaming gold chain scrutinizing him with a mocking gaze.
Wang Libin!
This name is like a brand, still clearly recognizable even as time goes by.
Wu Tian's gaze instantly deepened, and his expression changed slightly, but he quickly regained his composure, a faint smile appearing on his lips.
That smile held a hint of past helplessness and present relief.
During those youthful years, he and Wang Libin were like two parallel tracks that never intersected, each racing ahead, yet always carrying a hint of inexplicable rivalry.
Wang Libin is a high-profile person who likes to flaunt his wealth, but under the spotlight, he is not as prominent as Wu Tian, who comes from a distinguished family.
Therefore, Wu Tian frequently gave Wang Libin warnings, both openly and subtly.
I never expected that after all these years, this guy would still be so flamboyant.
He, having experienced life and death, was no longer the young master of the Wu family. His heart was now indifferent, and he merely smiled indifferently at Wang Libin's provocation, offering no comment.
This silence, however, unexpectedly became a provocative signal in the minds of some, like ripples spreading across a still lake.
