Lin Xiaotian's eyes held a thoughtful gaze, and his smile gradually bloomed.
"Old Wu, I happen to have something for you to do."
"Help me spread this news."
He whispered a few words into Wu Chengming's ear.
Upon hearing this, Wu Chengming's gaze became extremely peculiar.
"Young Master, if we really spread this news, won't it just benefit the Liu family?"
"They only need to bring out that medicine for auction. It won't cause them any harm; instead, it will enhance their reputation."
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Who told you I would give them the medicine directly?"
"It's just a temporary deposit with them."
"They want to see me targeted and people coming to cause trouble for me."
"Then I'll do the opposite and make them hoist themselves by their own petard."
Wu Chengming nodded. He felt that his brain couldn't possibly match Lin Xiaotian, even ten of him combined wouldn't be his match.
Without hesitation, he immediately followed Lin Xiaotian's instructions.
Over the course of one night, more than a dozen people were hung upside down from trees by Lin Xiaotian. They were all masters in their respective fields, but in front of Lin Xiaotian, they couldn't cause any significant trouble.
As the morning sun illuminated the horizon, a unique scene formed in front of the villa.
More than a dozen people were hung upside down in a row from the trees. They had already suffered cerebral hemorrhages, and if this continued, they would likely develop serious problems soon.
Lin Xiaotian stretched lazily and walked out of the villa, his eyes filled with a hearty smile.
"After a night of wind, has it blown away the greed from your minds?"
Upon hearing this, those dozen or so people couldn't help but shiver.
Only the first few had received special treatment from Lin Xiaotian. The rest, who hadn't even had a chance to make a move before reaching the entrance, were knocked unconscious and hung here by Lin Xiaotian.
They had witnessed Lin Xiaotian's strength. Among martial artists, the strong reigned supreme.
Now, they didn't dare to think of resistance.
"We're sorry, we know we were wrong, please spare us!"
"We've been crippled by you. Now we've become ordinary people. Give us another chance, don't let us die like this. I don't want to die!"
The pleas for mercy were endless.
His smile became even more satisfied. "It seems the cold wind has woken you up."
"My method is quite effective."
"To completely extinguish your thoughts, you shall continue to hang here!"
When the people heard this, their hearts filled with anger.
He had only spoken a few words to them and then left?
However, considering Lin Xiaotian's strength and their current pathetic state,
Not a single person dared to utter a sound. The anger in their hearts could only be swallowed down.
When Chu Nianxue came out, she also saw those people. Her gaze held a hint of helplessness, but she didn't say much.
Trouble had come knocking; evasion and weakness were not solutions.
Lin Xiaotian said with a smile, "Wife, aren't you surprised at all?"
"I've hung all those people at the main entrance. Aren't you scared?"
Chu Nianxue directly rolled her eyes at him, her pretty face tense. "You've already done it, what else can I say?"
"It's just that next time you take action, can you make them hang somewhere further away?"
"Hanging them at our villa entrance, what does that look like? What if a guest arrives, won't it scare them?"
Lin Xiaotian's smile was brilliant. "Wife, you really think things through. If anyone dares to cause trouble again tonight, I'll definitely hang them all at the entrance of the villa district."
"Let everyone who enters immediately see this unique scenery."
"And I'll also have to inform the property management beforehand so they can move these guys elsewhere."
As he said this, he prepared to take out his phone.
Chu Nianxue was also a little confused, but she didn't show it on her face. However, in her heart, she felt a sense of security.
No matter what Lin Xiaotian did, she would support him without reservation.
Even if Lin Xiaotian did something wrong and went against the whole world, she would follow him step by step.
The vehicle soon arrived at the company.
After Lin Xiaotian got out of the car, he felt a gaze upon him. He smiled and said, "I'll stroll around the company entrance for a while. I don't have much to do at the company anyway."
"I'll check for any loopholes in our company and investigate for you."
Chu Nianxue nodded. "Call me anytime if anything comes up. If you need help, don't hesitate to admit it. I'm not just here to be protected by you; I can help you too."
Lin Xiaotian felt her concern, and his smile deepened.
"Wife, your words touch me deeply."
Then, without hesitation, he leaned in and lightly touched Chu Nianxue's red lips.
Chu Nianxue was stunned for a moment, then, suppressing her shyness, she deliberately put on a stern face. "You want to take advantage of me just because I touched you?"
Lin Xiaotian nodded without hesitation, as if it were the most natural thing. "Wife, you've touched me so deeply, if I don't kiss you, how can I express my love for you?"
"I feel like I can never get enough kisses in this lifetime. How about I do it again?"
Chu Nianxue turned and walked away, her small face already flushed like a ripe apple.
Lin Xiaotian chuckled and turned his gaze to a corner.
He had driven a bit late today, and the parking spaces outside the company were already full. Only the underground parking lot remained.
As he looked over, a man in black had already appeared there.
The man in black's eyes were sharp, like two knives.
At this moment, his hoarse voice rang out.
"Lin Xiaotian, I believe you are very clear about my intentions today."
"I only want the Lingzhi recorded in your possession. I don't want to take your life. That you can make the Liu family helpless at your age proves your strength is not bad. A young prodigy like you."
"If you were to perish in my hands like this, it would be a loss to the entire martial artist community."
"If you hand over the medicinal ingredients to me now, I can turn around and leave. In the future, if you encounter any trouble, you can contact me anytime. I can act on your behalf once as compensation for your medicinal ingredients."
Lin Xiaotian's face broke into a brilliant smile upon hearing this.
Compared to the dozen or so people from last night, this masked man in black was much more polite.
"You've said a few human words. You even know not to dig up the well of the person who dug it."
"However, you've come too late."
