The moment Lin Wanzhu brought Lin Tianyang back to the police station, she immediately locked him in a small dark room.
This was also at Chu Yuan’s specific reminder. Lin Tianyang had issues with his mind. Interrogating him right away would not yield any results.
It was better to lock him up and let him calm down first.
Under normal circumstances, after repeatedly scheming against Lin Tianyang, Chu Yuan should have pressed the advantage, strutted around the police station, and humiliated him thoroughly.
Unfortunately, that kind of script did not exist for Chu Yuan.
Continuing to show off in front of Lin Tianyang just to assert his presence was something only protagonists like Lin Tianyang enjoyed watching.
Standing outside the dark room, Chu Yuan glanced inside, gave a few instructions, and left without bothering to deal with him further, leaving only his back in view.
Lin Tianyang was completely speechless.
He had originally thought that at this moment, Chu Yuan would certainly come in and continue humiliating him to boost his ego.
Then he could rely on his intelligence and strength to counterattack in desperation and teach that rich brat a proper lesson.
But now, the other party merely glanced at him and left.
It was as if Lin Tianyang was not worth taking seriously at all.
The feeling was like a thousand-pound punch landing on cotton, utterly powerless.
“Chu Yuan, you are more capable than I imagined. But I, Lin Tianyang, am not someone to be trifled with.”
His eyes were filled with fury, fists clenched tightly, as if a volcano were about to erupt.
He wished he could rush out right now and smash Chu Yuan into pulp.
Yet he understood that this was not the right time to deal with Chu Yuan. Escaping from here was the most urgent priority.
Although he did not take the current predicament seriously, he had no intention of remaining a prisoner.
“If I just leave like this, wouldn’t that count as fleeing out of guilt?”
Lin Tianyang frowned. With his strength, slipping away silently would be effortless.
But that would surely fall into Chu Yuan’s trap, giving him another excuse to mobilize the police against him.
“It seems I have to use the old man’s trump card.”
…
Magic City, Liu Family.
In recent years, the Liu Family had kept a low profile, yet none of the major families in Magic City dared to ignore them.
The reason was simple. The Liu Family was a medical lineage.
It was said that even certain influential figures in the capital had been cured by him and owed the Liu Family immense favors.
“Dad, it’s not that I, as your son, want to speak against you.”
“For the sake of someone unrelated, you want me to snatch someone from the tiger’s mouth and become enemies with Chu Yuan of the Chu Family.”
“And you even want to marry Yanran to some wild brat from the mountains. You… sigh…”
Liu Chi, the patriarch of the Liu Family, forcibly suppressed his anger.
If the old man in front of him were not his father, he would have slapped him the moment he heard those words.
He even felt that his father had grown senile.
Just because he received a ring and a verbal message, he was being asked to rescue someone from Chu Yuan’s hands.
He had even claimed to have arranged a marriage for his daughter Liu Yanran, promising her to a mountain brat.
“You are still young. There are things you don’t understand.”
Old Master Liu held the ring in his hand, his face heavy.
“If that person had not stepped in back then, the Liu Family’s reputation would have been destroyed, and I would have lost my head.”
“I made a marriage promise with him at that time. If his disciple ever arrived with this ring, I would marry Yanran to him.”
“How could I break my word now?”
Hearing this, Liu Chi seemed to recall something and continued persuading him.
“Even if that person once saved you and the Liu Family, we can repay him with money or shares. The Liu Family can afford it, and I would not hesitate.”
“But now he has offended Chu Yuan of the Chu Family. You still want to do everything to save him and even treat my daughter like a commodity, handing her over. How can I, as a father, accept that?”
Liu Chi’s heartfelt persuasion did not move Old Master Liu.
“What do you know? Being able to marry that person’s disciple is Yanran’s blessing.”
“With just a single word from that person, countless people across the world would wish to marry his disciple. How could it be Yanran’s turn if not for fate?”
“If it’s such a blessing, let someone else take it. I, Liu Chi, refuse.”
“Insolence!”
As Liu Chi tried to continue, Old Master Liu had already made his decision.
“What you must do now is rescue him. I want to meet him.”
“The news from the police station says Lin Tianyang injured Chu Yuan’s bodyguards first and then threatened to kill Chu Yuan in front of many officers.” This chapter is updated first at novelping . com.
“Chu Yuan has already made it clear. Anyone who dares to rescue Lin Tianyang will become an enemy of the Chu Family.”
Chu Yuan himself was not the most terrifying part. It was the Chu Family behind him that could not be provoked.
If they were angered, the entire Liu Family might be dragged down.
Old Master Liu fell into deep thought upon hearing this.
After a long silence, he sighed. “The Liu Family still has a medical research institute. Use it to exchange for Lin Tianyang. Then Chu Yuan and the Chu Family will have nothing to say.”
Liu Chi felt even more speechless. The Liu Research Institute was the Liu Family’s lifeblood. Its value could not be measured by money.
For Lin Tianyang, his father was willing to make such a sacrifice.
For a fleeting moment, Liu Chi even suspected whether Lin Tianyang was some illegitimate son the old man had outside.
“Grandpa, Dad, what are you discussing? I could hear your voices from far away.”
A pleasant voice echoed in the hall.
Immediately after, a cold and noble figure entered their sight.
Liu Yanran.
The very person Old Master Liu claimed would be fortunate to marry Lin Tianyang. Talented and beautiful.
At only twenty-five years old, she had already earned a master’s degree and was gradually taking over the family business.
For that reason, she usually appeared before others with a cold and aloof demeanor.
Wearing a light blue dress, her long straight black hair falling over her shoulders, her figure graceful and her features exquisite, she radiated an aura of nobility and cool elegance.
Whether it was her temperament, figure, facial features, or education, every aspect was flawless. Calling her a peerless beauty was no exaggeration.
“Yanran, you… why are you here?” Liu Chi felt extremely embarrassed at her arrival.
After all, under his confused father’s pressure, he had just been forced to “sell” his daughter.
“Oh, there were some matters at the company I didn’t quite understand, so I came to seek advice from Father and Grandpa.”
After speaking, Liu Yanran turned her gaze toward her father. “By the way, I just heard you mention marriage and fiancée. What exactly is going on?”
“Ah… this…”
Liu Chi stammered, unable to form a sentence.
“Enough. There is no harm in telling Yanran. Sooner or later, she will have to know.”
Old Master Liu spoke directly.
