Chapter 370 Sister Rong Is Awakening (I)
Lin Luoran has been kind of traveling night and day. She finds her families have not slept yet when she returns home.
The Lins’ villa is still ablaze with light although it’s midnight in September. Lin Luoran feels a little anxious when she sees her families all sitting in the living room. She thinks something is going on.
Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin are happy to see her return and then they tell her what happened.
Sister Rong has been a nanny in the Lin family for two years. She is not restless anymore both in attitude and personality. Rong becomes more and more adorable. Seeing her job from a casual perspective, sister Rong still benefits a lot. Her salary and bonuses together are near 10,000 yuan a month. This is really a good and easy job for sister Rong who is less than 25 years old and never goes to college. With such a job, it is enough for her to surpass girls of the same age even in 2018 when Huaxia’s prices are not low at all.
There are more potential benefits of working for Lins. Li Xi’er and Mrs. Lin take her to go shopping from time to time and always buy clothes and shoes for her. Young girl Rong has the wage of a white-collar worker and she is provided with free food, accommodation, and even clothes. Sometimes Zeng Tian even teaches her some business things and takes her to the university of Chuan to learn a few lessons. Sister Rong thinks her life is really good.
Sister Rong feels her life has exceeded her expectations as someone who fails to enter college. People will be more open-minded as they learn more. The only discordant factor in her life is her boyfriend Gu Xiang. He is seemingly aspiring but relies on her to support him.
“Do you mean that Gu Xiang kidnapped Rong Donglin and asked sister Rong to pay five million ransoms?”
Lin Luoran feels weird after hearing everything from these people who stay up so late.
Mrs. Lin is very worried. She holds sister Rong’s hand and comforts her constantly. Sister Rong’s eyes are red and swollen. Even she was a playgirl, she still can’t accept the fact that her brother was kidnapped by her boyfriend.
Seeing how strong and poor sister Rong is, Lin Luoran has a headache. Zeng Tian sees that his grandmaster does not believe it at all so he finds an excuse for them to go to the yard. Lin Luoran comes straight to the point.
“Did you guys kidnap Rong Donglin?”
She acquiesced that her apprentices can make a big move to let the ruffian show his true face, but isn’t this a stupid move? The scheme backfires on themselves. Let alone Sister Rong, Mrs. Lin also can’t sleep with worrying.
Zeng Tian shakes his head like a rattle, “Why do we kidnap brother Rong? Grandmaster, you underestimate the IQ of big school brother and me. ”
He can still make jokes so Lin Luoran knows the situation is still under control. She laughs, “If it is not you guys’ masterpiece, does Gu Xiang dare to ask for five million yuan? Is sister Rong like a person with five million yuan? ”
Zeng Tian’s face is shrewd up “This is a mistake. Liyang said we could casually do something to make sister Rong see what kind of person Gu Xiang really is. However, Gu Xiang took the initiative when sister Rong showed signs of breaking up with him. He kept saying that sister Rong had found another rich boyfriend. If she wants to marry the rich guy, then she has to pay five million yuan as compensation for his time. Otherwise, she will lose her brother.”
A man can ask for money under such a name, compensation for his time? Lin Luoran feels disgusted as she has swallowed a fly. She thinks the best kept man is Li Anping but now there is even a higher level of “being kept”.
“Where is Rong Donglin now?”
Zeng Tian smiles boldly, “He is kept behind a billiard room in the Eastern Bus Station and well protected by the big school brother. Grandmaster, this is a good opportunity. It’s worthwhile for brother Rong to have some cold meals for several days. All these are for his sister.”
Lin Luoran is speechless, “It’s better to ask Cao Liyang to handle this thing. It will affect your relationship if you guys deal with it and then the truth comes out.”
Zeng Tian agrees with her. Lin Luoran sees his grinning smile and remembers the flying sword in space. She takes it out and gives it to Zeng Tian. The latter is stunned for a while.
“Grand… grandmaster, is this for me?” This one-foot long small sword is not good-looking compared to the exquisite “Sword of Bright Snow”. However, it’s the first time for Zeng Tian to touch a flying sword. He loves the Tao of Sword so much that he is speechless with excitement.
“Put a drop of your pure blood in it. You can try the sword after it recognizes you as its owner.”
Zeng Tian is overjoyed. The small sword recognizes him as its owner and then he puts Reiki in it. He is excited when he sees a three-foot sword. Yuan Ye once taught him “Sword-riding Spell”, however, Zeng Tian could only practice it over and over again without a tool. Now he finally has his own flying sword. The rapport between the sword and him is not good yet. Nonetheless, when Zeng Tian casts the spell of sword and directs the flying sword hovering above his head, he is like a little kid running wildly in the yard of Lins’ villa.
“Grandmaster, what should I call it?” Zeng Tian runs back madly and his trousers are all stained with mud. He has a strong military mind so he wants a cool name. However, he also knows it is from his teacher so he wants to commemorate her favor. Zeng Tian is really in a dilemma and can’t make the decision.
Lin Luoran spreads her hands. She works so hard to leave this problem to her apprentice and she will never take it over. Just let Zeng Tian do it alone.
Cao Liyang is in the Lins’ villa half an hour later. Rong Donglin was abducted because of Cao Liyang’s little mistake so he can’t sleep and is always on standby.
Zeng Tian whispers in Cao Liyang’s ear and he knows what to do immediately.
“I can handle it.”
Cao Liyang takes five million cash prepared by Zeng Tian and puts it in two boxes in the trunk. He asks his old friend “Brother Leopard” who is now actually “Lord Leopard” and knows the Eastern Bus Station is the domain of someone called “Vicious Wolf”.
Cao Liyang has something in mind and comes up with a coordinated plan.
Zeng Tian is a little bit embarrassed, “Grandmaster, if we do nothing, I am afraid those cornered beasts will do something desperate and hurt people. Cao may suffer.”
Cao Liyang is like a hunting leopard which is very energetic but not scary at all.
“Tian, I am better at handling this kind of thing than you.”
Every field has its own rules. Cao Liyang is telling the truth. Zeng Tian is not stupid but he is used to doing things in a righteous way affected by his surroundings. In contrast, Cao Liyang is always a schemer and he is definitely more adept at doing things like this.
Even so, anything involving five million yuan is still a big deal. Lin Luoran gives a jade plate to Cao Liyang in case those people have guns.
Holding the jade plate in his hand, Cao Liyang bursts into tears. Is this the payment for his hard work?
The jade plate is a good thing and he puts it away carefully. Zeng Tian wonders, “Why don’t you let it recognize you as the owner?”
Cao Liyang grins, “Leave it to my boy.” Schemer Cao Liyang is actually a perfect father. Zeng Tian is helpless and forces him to do the recognizing thing. As an uncle, he will take care of his little nephew later.
Hearing Cao Liyang starting the car, sister Rong rushes out in a dress with red eyes.
“Brother Cao, I’ll go with you!”
Zeng Tian nods slightly so Cao Liyang calls sister Rong to get in the car.
Lin Luoran has said that Cao Liyang will deal with it but she still asks Zeng Tian to follow them secretly. Cao Liyang only makes two calls on the way. He looks confident.
“Brother Cao, are we really going to redeem my brother with five million yuan?” Sister Rong looks at the street outside the car window. It’s midnight and even the barbecue and beer stalls are going to close. There is nothing for sister Rong to divert her attention so she begins to talk with Cao Liyang.
Cao Liyang nods. “You know, the Lin family can’t show up to handle this thing. Otherwise, it will be a joke that Lins have to deal with ordinary gangs themselves, and they will lose face in the world of cultivation. Money is the best way. As for Gu Xiang, you don’t need to think too much. You just have to make up your mind about whether or to what extent we beat him up. ”
Cao Liyang’s words are just to force sister Rong to think it clearly. He has been in this field for so many years. Let alone five million yuan, if he let the ruffian get fifty cents, won’t he become a big joke?
Sister Rong grits her teeth, “The Lin family is so good to my brother and me. It is unreasonable if they pay five million yuan. After my brother is rescued, we have to return the Lin family money even if we have to sell the house.”
Lin Luoran and Zeng Tian hear it and feel funny at the top of the car. She made a lot of troubles for Rong Donglin just for a small apartment two years ago. However, now the little girl is sensible and has her pride.
Cao Liyang’s little lie is revealed before arriving at the Eastern Bus Station. Several vans quietly gather here. They can see many people in the vans even across the dark car window.
The bald man who has been upgraded as “Lord Leopard” stops the car and comes over. Cao Liyang rolls down half of the window and nods at him.
But he doesn’t stop his car. Lord Leopard’s men mutter after his car drives away. They think Cao Liyang is so pretentious that he doesn’t even get off his car. Lord Leopard scolds them and asks, “Do you know who he is?”
His men definitely can’t answer this question, but Lord Leopard also doesn’t explain, “We can take over the Eastern Bus Station tonight. Don’t you guys want to whitewash your history? Bowing your stupid heads is nothing. Which man can become famous without being aggrieved?! Just keep up but don’t get too close. ”
Several vans restart far behind Cao Liyang’s Bentley.
That year, the famous “Lord Leopard” now was just a watchdog and people sometimes gave him face and called him Brother Leopard. Cao Liyang was just a showy “fake second generation” who got a cut of the profits of the bar. What happened in the downtempo bar has changed four people’s fate. Leopard was unfamiliar with Rong Donglin and Zeng Tian and he was fainted by Lin Luoran at that time. When he opened his eyes in a daze, he saw a young man smashing a corner of the table with only a single hand. The leopard showed little backbone and continued to pretend to be in coma. He heard this young man and Cao Liyang talking something about “kowtow can save you”. Leopard thought to himself that even master Cao should also bow his head. He didn’t know who the young man was and just totally forgot about getting his place back.
The leopard definitely couldn’t wake up at that time. Cao Liyang really lost his face. If Cao knows he was awake, he will be very angry at him.
Leopard thought that Master Cao had suffered from such humiliation and he might lose his reputation in this area in the future. He had to find a new boss.
Later on, Cao Liyang closed the downtempo bar. The leopard thought this rich second generation would go home obediently and became the young master of his family. A long time later, Cao Liyang asked him to help with exploring the preferences of some heads of certain departments for a deal related to mountain sales. The leopard finally knew that Cao Liyang went up against the current and turned the blow into an opportunity. He had a good relationship with the people who once humiliated him.
As Lins’ Pharmaceutical Factory develops, Leopard knew the last name of the beautiful woman in the downtempo bar was Lin…
Back from his memory, Lord Leopard leisurely blows a smoke ring. A temporary setback is nothing and a wonderful man is always resilient. If Cao Liyang didn’t figure it out in the past, now he may just be a low dude and never become the top of Lins. Besides, he, Leopard, will not be so good now with the support of Cao Liyang in these years.
Master Cao has persuaded him to whitewash his history for a few times. Leopard now has a family business and he also wants to go underground gradually.
He can both be defensive and aggressive when he takes over the Eastern Bus Station. Then he will do some serious business. Lord Leopard squints his eyes, remembering that no matter how late he came home, his virtuous wife would always leave a lamp for him. Such days are so hopeful. Who the hell wants to be a mob?!
“Lord Leopard, people of Vicious Wolf will watch us if we go any further.”
Lord Leopard pats the driver on the shoulder. “After tonight, Vicious Wolf will be a sick wolf without teeth. Let’s go. ”
