After driving in, Lin Tian casually closed the garage door since entering the Xiao Mansion was through another door anyway. Perhaps Xiao Manxue saw the light in the garage on, and since it happened to be the time school let out, she assumed her sister was inside.
But the words were already said, and Lin Tian couldn’t take them back. He just didn’t know which man was starting trouble outside, his tone filled with extreme disdain for servants, directly calling them "underlings."
This greatly annoyed Lin Tian. Did these people still think they were living in a feudal society, with underlings? Damn it, if things weren’t satisfying, they could still fire their boss, not as if they had sold their bodies into slavery.
"Squeak..." Lin Tian opened the garage door, and after it opened, he saw two cars parked outside. A red Ferrari sports car was in the front, followed by a black BMW. Xiao Manxue was sitting in the passenger seat of the Ferrari, and the man driving the Ferrari was a young man in his early twenties.
The young man was handsome and dressed in a casual suit, resting one hand on the steering wheel with a very dashing posture.
Undeniably, a handsome young man like him driving a wild Ferrari sports car had a lethal attraction to girls.
However, the man was looking at Lin Tian with a condescending gaze at this moment, which really irritated Lin Tian.
Narrowing his eyes at the young man, Lin Tian stood at the gate without moving aside and said, "Who was the one with the foul mouth just now, calling people underlings? Do you think we’re in the ancient society of slaves, huh? No manners at all!"
"Snap—" The headlights of the Ferrari suddenly turned on, the blinding light directly shot into Lin Tian’s eyes, followed by the "rumble" of the engine revving. The young man rhythmically stepped on the accelerator, his face full of anger, and his ominous gaze locked onto Lin Tian, looking as if he was ready to drive the car right into Lin Tian.
Being scolded for having "no manners" by someone he considered an "underling" was something he just couldn’t swallow. He was used to others acquiescing to him, and never had he been insulted in such an ugly manner. Even those with more influential backgrounds than him wouldn’t dare to do so.
As the saying goes, even a mighty dragon cannot oppress a local snake, and his family was one of the local snakes in Xikou City. Even the mighty dragons from outside would give them some respect when coming in. His face was completely lost being cursed at by an "underling" today.
"I’m standing right here, if you’ve got the guts then drive over," Lin Tian said leisurely, looking at the young man. He wanted to see whether the front of the Ferrari was stronger or his fists were. If the other party dared to drive over, Lin Tian wouldn’t mind dismantling the valuable Ferrari into scrap metal.
Although Xiao Manxue had a very poor impression of Lin Tian, she couldn’t just watch him get run over by a car; she knew the man beside her appeared gentle and refined but was actually cruel-hearted.
He might really hit Lin Tian in a fit of rage, and since Lin Tian was a bodyguard for the Xiao family, having him mistreated within the Xiao family’s home would be bad for the Xiao family’s reputation. Outsiders would say the Xiao family was weak, allowing others to bully them in their own home.
She glared angrily at Lin Tian, then turned to the young man next to her and said, "Bai Yuze, calm down. This is still the Xiao family’s residence, even if our bodyguard was disrespectful, it started from an issue between him and us, a matter for the Xiao family to deal with. Let me handle this bodyguard."
This young man was Bai Yuze? Then wasn’t he Bai Yufeng’s brother? Lin Tian was struck for a moment, considering it fate that he was getting into disputes with these brothers one after another.
Bai Yuze turned his head to look at Xiao Manxue for a while, then suddenly put on a smile, saying graciously, "Since Manxue has spoken, I’ll be magnanimous and not take issue with this bodyguard."
Lin Tian felt nauseated by the feigned gentlemanly demeanor, and Xiao Manxue wrinkled her brows slightly at the close terms the other had used, but since he had agreed to her mediation, she couldn’t exactly snub his gesture.
It was all because of this bodyguard named Lin Tian, Xiao Manxue glared at Lin Tian again. Lin Tian shrugged indifferently, women loved to glare when they were angry. Glare all you want, it’s not like you can glare yourself pregnant.
The car couldn’t enter the garage and had to be parked outside, and all the passengers got out. Two people got out of the BMW behind them, one of whom Lin Tian recognized as Uncle Zhao, who had exchanged blows with him before.
Uncle Zhao also spotted Lin Tian. Last time they sparred, he had been at a disadvantage. However, he believed it was because he had underestimated his opponent and hadn’t used his full strength, which led to his defeat. Uncle Zhao quickened his pace and approached, whispering in Bai Yuze’s ear.
The voice was low, but both Lin Tian and Xiao Manxue, who had exceptionally keen hearing, clearly heard him say, "Young master, that guy is the student who had a conflict with the second young master last time. I’ve fought with him, and his strength should be on par with mine."
Really good at singing his own praises, Lin Tian despised Uncle Zhao even more for using despicable methods like poisoning to attack others, which, according to Xiao Manxue’s words, was a disgrace to Ancient Martial Artists.
As for Xiao Manxue, she had some understanding of Lin Tian’s capabilities, at least he was very strong in Cross Training.
Bai Yuze looked at Lin Tian with some surprise. Uncle Zhao was a Tribute that the Bai Family paid a lot for, responsible for the Bai Family’s security. Having an Ancient Martial Artist as a deterrent could intimidate many enemies considering targeting the Bai Family.
Getting Uncle Zhao to acknowledge an equal opponent meant that the person must be quite skilled. He regretted having a conflict with such an individual, but since things had come to this point, he couldn’t bring himself to make amends.
Seeing that he couldn’t gain an advantage here, he thought about taking his leave. He also knew the trick to chasing women was sometimes not to press too hard, especially with independent-minded women like Xiao Manxue.
"Miss Xiao, the situation today is not suitable, let’s meet another day. I shall take my leave now." Bai Yuze said politely.
"Alright, thank you very much for helping with transporting the jadeite raw stone. However, I’ll be busy with the company matters in the future, so let’s not schedule another meeting," Xiao Manxue said indifferently.
Bai Yuze did not linger on the issue, smiling, he said, "Miss Xiao, you are busy with many duties, make sure to take care of your health."
After speaking, he got in the car, turned the Ferrari around, and sped away in style.
"Miss, I’ll be heading back first." Without waiting for her response, Lin Tian slipped out the door. As soon as he came out, his expression grew dark; he had seen Bai Yuze’s sinister gaze clearly before he left.
Strike first to gain the upper hand, hesitate and suffer the consequences. Plus, with Uncle Zhao’s treachery, it was time to charge some interest on this debt.
After turning the corner, Lin Tian’s figure came alive, flipping over the mansion wall in the blink of an eye, so fast that only a breeze was left behind, leaving no sight of him.
His speed was astonishing, and soon he caught sight of the Ferrari and the BMW. Lin Tian followed Bai Yuze’s car from a distance; they took a few turns in the city and then headed for the suburbs.
About twenty minutes later, the cars stopped outside a Villa’s gate.
This place called Jinhua Villa must be a private club. What was Bai Yuze doing at the Villa?
