546: Chapter 541 Suddenly Enlightened!
546: Chapter 541 Suddenly Enlightened!
In recent times, River City had experienced several acts of vandalism: first, the pedestrian street’s plaza was damaged, then Dongfeng Village in the old city district was almost leveled to the ground, and lastly, a factory building in the industrial park…
Wang Ke’er had taken part in the investigations of these destructive incidents!
Wang Ke’er was very clear in her heart that all these incidents were caused by Ye Tian whose formidable strength led to the collateral damage of the surrounding buildings during a battle with another expert.
However, Wang Ke’er believed in Ye Tian’s character.
Therefore, using her connections within the police force, she covered for Ye Tian and prevented the police from investigating him…
“There’s nothing to apologize for, Ye Tian.
Is it over?”
Wang Ke’er took a sip of her coffee and asked, her primary concern as a police officer being the public order of River City.
“I’m afraid not…”
Ye Tian let out a sigh and said.
Indeed, although Tian Shisan was dead, there were still members of his clan behind him, people who were likely not the ordinary kind to handle.
“I see…”
Wang Ke’er’s expression was unreadable to Ye Tian.
When Tian Shisan had taken his women away, he hadn’t touched Wang Ke’er.
Perhaps after investigating, he didn’t consider her to have a particularly deep relationship with him?
Now it seemed that Wang Ke’er was merely an observer!
The saying goes, the onlooker sees more of the game.
Ye Tian also wanted to see if Wang Ke’er could offer him some advice!
“Peacetime police flower, I want to ask you a question!”
Ye Tian stated seriously, his face showing utmost solemnity, which made Wang Ke’er take note and she didn’t even object to the nickname “Peacetime police flower.”
“What’s the question?
Go ahead and ask!”
Wang Ke’er spoke straightforwardly, all ears.
Ye Tian slowly said, “If you knew you had many very powerful enemies who could attack you at any time and place, but for the moment you had no idea where these enemies were, what should you do?”
——This was the exact dilemma Ye Tian was facing, and it had troubled him for many days.
“What to do?
Isn’t it obvious?”
A look of surprise appeared on Wang Ke’er’s face as if mocking Ye Tian for not being able to grasp such a simple issue.
“You know what to do?” Ye Tian asked urgently.
Wang Ke’er took a bite of the pastry and explained, “Ye Tian, it’s like a country surrounded by formidable foes, with no neighboring country easy to provoke.
Each one of them wants to attack this country!
Yet, this country isn’t worried about being attacked by any one of them someday.
Instead, it continuously strengthens itself.
When its military capability far exceeds that of the other countries, it won’t fear attacks from them anymore.
When enemies come, they are countered, when water flows, it is dammed.
Furthermore, seeing how powerful this country is, which of its neighbors would dare to hastily raise their armies against it?”
“Right!”
Ye Tian excitedly slapped the table.
The solution he had been agonizing over was effortlessly articulated by Wang Ke’er, the young police officer.
All his worry stemmed from his own lack of confidence in his strength!
Ye Tian had struggled immensely to defeat Tian Shisan, so when he heard that Tian Shisan’s clan was behind him, he couldn’t stay calm.
Ye Tian frantically searched for clues about Tian Shisan’s clan out of concern that he wasn’t strong enough to protect those around him.
——This was a sign of Ye Tian’s fear of the power of Tian Shisan’s clan members!
If Ye Tian were stronger, mightier than he was now, mightier than any future opponents, who then would dare to trouble him or those close to him?
Intelligence, clues, strategies were all just talk.
Only strength provided the fundamental solution!
When enemies attacked, to crush them thoroughly would solve any problems, wouldn’t it?
“Thank you, Peacetime police flower!”
Now that he had found the answer, Ye Tian naturally felt an exhilaration clear his mood.
Next, he needed to practice patiently, to reach a new level of strength, and at the same time, Ye Tian planned to cultivate his own power.
After all, Tian Shisan’s clan members were more than one, and going into battle alone would lead to a great disadvantage…
How to cultivate power, though?
It seemed that he should start by enlisting some experts, making them serve him.
He could also train these experts to stand on their own!
“Ye Tian, what’s wrong?”
Seeing Ye Tian lost in thought, Wang Ke’er couldn’t help but ask.
Ye Tian came back to his senses and, looking at Wang Ke’er, said, “Peacetime, your words have enlightened me.
I’m very grateful.
If there’s anything you want, just let me know!”
“Want?
What are you talking about?”
Wang Ke’er was somewhat displeased.
What did Ye Tian take her for?
A genie that could grant wishes?
“I don’t want anything.
Just don’t cause trouble for River City!”
Wang Ke’er scoffed, but Ye Tian, excited, promptly sat down next to her.
“Don’t be afraid!
Everything will be fine, I, Ye Tian, am not one to make promises lightly.
And with my incredible skills, there is nothing I can’t do for you!”
As he spoke, Ye Tian actually pulled several silver needles from his body.
Wang Ke’er caught sight of them and immediately felt a surge of fear.
“Ye Tian, what are you going to do!?”
Ye Tian just smiled, raised the silver needles in his hand, and said, “Officer Taiping, I mean no harm.
In fact, even without your telling me, I know your only wish is to have a bigger bust, right?”
“A bigger bust?
What ridiculous nonsense are you spouting?”
Wang Ke’er’s face flushed red as she looked at the silver needles in Ye Tian’s hand with suspicion.
“Taiping, don’t be a disbeliever.
I’m telling the truth!
For a flat-chested girl like you, I can transform it into Mount Everest in minutes!
Want to give it a try?
And you don’t have to go to the hospital, I can get it done right here in this cafe!”
Ye Tian moved even closer to Wang Ke’er, appearing as if he was about to begin the acupuncture immediately.
“You’re depraved!”
Wang Ke’er shouted and forcefully pushed Ye Tian away.
With Wang Ke’er’s strength, naturally, she couldn’t push Ye Tian away.
As she pushed, Ye Tian actually fell forward purposely, landing on top of her.
Wang Ke’er was both embarrassed and furious.
Just now, this guy had a worried look, but after she had counseled him, he had the audacity to repay her kindness with harassment!
This was intolerable!
Wang Ke’er wished she could pull out her service pistol and shoot Ye Tian, but unexpectedly, her cell phone rang.
Ye Tian, although he was teasing Wang Ke’er, did not stop her from answering the call…
“Hello, what’s up?”
Wang Ke’er picked up the phone and asked.
But just a few seconds later, Wang Ke’er’s expression changed drastically, and the phone dropped from her hand to the ground.
Realizing the seriousness of the situation, Ye Tian stepped forward and asked, “What happened?”
Wang Ke’er replied with trembling fear, “Wang Bingbing…
she’s been attacked… her life is hanging by a thread…”
Although it was just a few short sentences, Ye Tian’s heart sank with heavy pain.
Wang Bingbing, the queen of the Ice Snow Bar, his most reliable subordinate, why was she in trouble?
“Let’s go!
We must go there!”
With that, Ye Tian and Wang Ke’er rushed to Jiangcheng People’s Hospital right away.
At this moment, Wang Bingbing was still lying in the intensive care unit, unconscious and still in critical condition.
Looking at the thick bandages wrapped around Wang Bingbing’s head, Ye Tian clenched his fists tightly.
“What exactly happened?”
Ye Tian asked the man who had been watching over the sickbed.
The man was one of Wang Bingbing’s subordinates, named Gao Chang.
“Brother Tian, it seems the Ice Snow Queen was attacked by people sent by the Wang Family…”
Gao Chang wasn’t entirely sure, but he laid out everything he knew in front of Ye Tian.
Truth be told, Wang Bingbing’s surroundings had never been peaceful, with frequent attempts on her life.
Gao Chang, as one of Wang Bingbing’s most capable subordinates, knew these attackers all came from the British Royal Family.
He had advised Wang Bingbing to go on the offensive and take the fight to them.
But Wang Bingbing was too busy gathering leads for Ye Tian to focus on the Wang Family’s troubles, leaving her to confront the attackers sent by the Wang Family in Jiangcheng herself.
Fortunately, those sent by the Wang Family were just small-fry, so she hadn’t taken them seriously.
Wang Bingbing didn’t even inform Ye Tian about the danger that surrounded her until now, when she was attacked and her life was at stake…
After hearing Gao Chang’s account, Ye Tian looked at the unconscious Wang Bingbing with a pained expression.
“I can’t believe the great Ice Snow Queen could be so foolish!”
His words were filled with anguish.
Ye Tian had only learned of the feud between Wang Bingbing and the British Royal Family while he was in the United States.
Originally, it was supposed to be Wang Bingbing’s grandfather, Wang Kuan, who would become the Clan Leader.
Instead, her great uncle Wang Long usurped the position, had Wang Kuan killed, and even framed Wang Bingbing for the death.
Forced to flee to the United States, she was then saved by Ye Tian…
Wang Bingbing had not intended to return to Jiangcheng since Wang Long’s men were planning to take over her influence there.
Had it not been to assist Ye Tian, she wouldn’t have risked the danger of being targeted by the Wang Family again by coming to this land of strife.
After Wang Bingbing regained control of the Ice Snow Bar, she indeed reclaimed the status and position of the Ice Snow Queen on the surface, but undercurrents swirled in secret.
The Wang Family’s people came wave after wave, all with the intent of taking her life.
They had never succeeded until now…
“Sir, this is the intensive care unit.
Please don’t let too many people stay inside!”
A nurse, seeing Ye Tian and the others crowded around Wang Bingbing’s bedside, urged them to leave.
Gao Chang and Wang Ke’er sensibly left the intensive care unit, but Ye Tian stayed put.
Seeing his determined demeanor, the nurse didn’t press further.
