However, the burly man leading the charge was unaware that all his reactions were within Lin Xiaotian's calculations.
At this moment, Captain Ma watched the man drive his car out of the parking lot and speed away. He turned to Lin Xiaotian and asked, "What should we do next? Should we send those people he left behind straight to jail?"
"Not a single one of those guys is good. They're all desperate criminals. Now that their tendons have been severed, they're complete cripples."
A slight curve formed on Lin Xiaotian's lips. "No need to trouble ourselves. Let them fend for themselves!"
"Without their strength, they are utterly useless. Sending them to jail would mean someone has to take care of them. Letting them live on their own will only make their lives more difficult and painful."
"It can also be considered their atonement for what they've done."
"However, we need to dump these people far away. We absolutely cannot have anyone getting scared in our company's parking lot. You guys, get to it and throw them all out."
The security guards immediately rushed over. Opportunities to deal with these desperate criminals were rare, and this was like kicking them while they were down, with no consequences to worry about.
Captain Ma hesitated slightly, opening his mouth several times as if to speak but stopping himself.
He didn't know if he should resolve the doubt in his heart.
Lin Xiaotian saw what he was thinking and smiled, saying, "Are you wondering how I did it? How I managed to take down so many people so easily?"
"And are you wondering if you can learn my skills?"
Captain Ma's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly nodded. "Mr. Lin, I've seen on TV that martial arts training has to start from a young age. I wonder if I still have a chance to become as strong as you?"
"Even if I can't become a powerful master, just being stronger than I am now would be enough. I'm not afraid of any hardship."
"Do I need to become your disciple? Do I need to kowtow and become your disciple now, or..."
Lin Xiaotian smiled and shook his head. "You don't have the talent for cultivation. There are very few people with talent. I can say that among all the security personnel, not a single one has talent. To become a martial artist requires one in ten thousand talent."
"However, it's not entirely impossible to cultivate. It's just that your achievements are already capped. No matter how hard you try, your sweat and effort might not be proportional to your gains."
"Martial artists truly need talent and comprehension. It's not as simple as just practicing to become a master. I advise you not to get involved in this path. After all, stepping onto this path might mean stepping into a mire."
"Cultivation is inherently like rowing against the current; not advancing means falling back. It's also possible that after a lifetime of effort, you'll ruin your foundation. By then, even if you want to regret it, it will be too late. It's better to remain an ordinary person honestly."
When Captain Ma heard this, a look of disappointment appeared in his eyes. After a slight hesitation, he gave a wry smile. "Then I won't harbor any such hopes. It's a pity I can only witness powerful masters but not become one myself. Although I'm a little unwilling, there's nothing I can do, since I lack talent."
He was actually quite open-minded, just a little disheartened.
Lin Xiaotian smiled and patted his shoulder. "Perhaps you'll have a chance in the next life."
Captain Ma's head was immediately filled with question marks, and he said indignantly, "Mr. Lin, are you urging me to reincarnate quickly?"
Lin Xiaotian laughed heartily. "Just kidding. Work hard. If you encounter any masters you can't handle, don't provoke them. Even if that master causes some damage to the company, it's fine. The most important thing is that you are safe."
"Now that you've witnessed truly powerful forces, don't go on a futile suicide mission."
"With you as the captain of security, I can rest assured."
Hearing this, a warmth flowed through Captain Ma's heart. He hadn't expected to hold such an important position in Lin Xiaotian's eyes. It made his decades of steadfast dedication to his post worthwhile.
After they chatted for a while, Lin Xiaotian went upstairs with his hands behind his back.
Meanwhile, in that private hospital, Chairman Wu lay in bed, still unable to move. His eyes held an extremely ferocious expression. Before, he had only felt his entire body go numb, completely without sensation.
But now, he found that countless acupoints on his body were producing a stinging sensation, and this feeling was becoming more and more severe.
"Quickly give me a shot of anesthetic. I can't bear this pain anymore."
His face contorted. The tranquilizer from earlier had worn off in less than half an hour, and the pain all over his body was driving him to madness.
The doctor hesitated before speaking, "Mr. Wu, your body cannot withstand any more sedatives; it's already at its limit. I hope you can endure it a little. We are trying our best to find the cause of your condition. Once we find the cause, we can treat it accordingly."
Chairman Wu roared with a contorted face, "You can't find the cause at all, so don't waste your time here. I basically don't have much longer to live. I know my own condition. Hurry up and give me the sedative."
"If not, give me general anesthesia. Just let me die!"
"I truly don't want to live for another second."
The pain began to engulf his entire body. At this moment, he felt as if countless ants were gnawing at him all over.
The doctor certainly wouldn't do such a thing. He could only sigh helplessly and then go to find someone. If he administered a sedative and the patient died, the responsibility would fall on him, so he naturally wouldn't do it.
Just as the doctor left, a figure pushed open the door, then locked it from the inside. He walked directly into the ward, his eyes filled with a ferocious and terrifying danger.
It was the burly man who had led the charge earlier. Seeing Chairman Wu lying on the bed, writhing in agony, his eyes were filled with shock. "Mr. Wu, what's wrong with you?"
Chairman Wu turned his head upon hearing the voice and saw the man he had sent out earlier. His eyes were filled with intense anticipation, and he directly asked, "How did things go earlier? Did you capture the woman by Lin Xiaotian's side?"
"Only by capturing that woman can I force Lin Xiaotian to treat my current injuries. Otherwise, I will likely die."
