Chapter 73: Eve of Counterattack

  At this point, everyone was somewhat puzzled.

  Liu Wuyan opened his mouth and asked: "Yi Tian, is there something on your mind? If you have something to say, just speak up, why resort to violence?"

  "That's right, I want you to protect my friend for a while!" Yi Tian said, turning around and pulling Bai Xue's hand.

  "No problem, didn't I tell you before? If there's anything, just look for me!"

  Yi Tian nodded, his tone changed, and his expression became more serious: "However, I still can't fully trust you. Both of us are in danger now. I'm not sure if you're really helping me or have other intentions. So, for safety's sake, I'll let you protect me. Liu Wuyan, you need to stay with me during this time!"

  "Moreover, if my friend were to suffer any mishap here, remember that the move I just made would become a reality. If you dare to harm her in any way, no matter where you are in the world, I will hunt you down!"

  "Of course, you can disagree with my request, but the promise I made earlier will also be cancelled. Liu Wuyan, think about it!"

  After finishing speaking, Yi Tian tilted his head to one side, giving Liu Wuyan and his group time to consider.

  Bai Xue looked at Yi Tian's back, finally understanding why he had taken action against these people without hesitation as soon as he arrived. Suddenly, her heart warmed up and she was deeply moved.

  Yi Tian did this to intimidate these people, using force to make them fear from the bottom of their hearts, fearing for Bai Xue's safety above all else. He did all this so that Bai Xue could be safe and sound.

  Liu Wuyan and his group's faces changed color, Yi Tian not only wanted to take Liu Wuyan as a hostage, but also said such threatening words, several people immediately had the same idea in their hearts, this matter cannot be agreed to no matter what!

  "Sister, don't agree with him no matter what!"

  "Yes, if it's like that, then that woman's safety is guaranteed, but what about yours? If you're in his hands, we won't be at ease!"

  "Alright, forget it. We won't make this deal then. There are still two years left, we can find someone else. No way will I agree to that!"

  At this moment when these people were indignant and discussing, Liu Wuyan fell silent. She didn't expect that Yi Tian would think so thoroughly for a woman, especially when she heard the sentence "If you dare to harm her, no matter where you are in the world, I will hunt you down!" She looked at Yi Tian with some loss of consciousness.

  Then she looked at Bai Xue standing behind Yi Tian, and for some reason, she felt a little envious of Bai Xue. A man who could say such words without hesitation showed how much Bai Xue weighed in Yi Tian's heart.

  As a woman, being able to make a man say such a promise is simply more blissful than owning the world. Unconsciously, a hint of sourness sprouted in Liu Wuyan's heart, secretly thinking: if it were me, would he do the same?

  Liu Yuwei was immersed in her own thoughts, the surrounding noise of people talking did not disturb her. After a moment, she looked at Yi Tian's face and said calmly: "Alright, I agree!"

  Yitian didn't say much more, but others suddenly boiled over.

  "Sister, his conditions are too harsh, how did you agree?"

  "Yes, otherwise you'd better think twice, he's going to use you as a hostage!"

  Just as others wanted to say something, Liu Wuyan waved his hand to stop them: "Enough, this matter is settled like this. You all do what I said and protect that woman well. Don't let her make any mistakes, or else... we'll really be in big trouble!"

  While they were talking, Yi Tian said to Bai Xue: "Alright, everything is settled. You don't have to go to school for the time being. I'll go back and explain things to you later. When you go to the hospital to take care of your uncle's funeral, be careful too. With them protecting you, you don't have to worry too much either. Also, if anyone bullies you, just tell me, and see how I deal with them!"

  Before coming, Yi Tian had thought of everything. The harm and blow that Bai Xue suffered were already very great. When dealing with Wang Xikun's gang, we must take care of Bai Xue's safety first and cannot let her have any accidents.

  He had also suspected that Liu Wuyan and others were sent by Wang Xikun, but for the time being, he couldn't find a suitable person to protect Bai Xue, so he adopted the method of hostage and intimidation. As long as Bai Xue's safety was guaranteed, the moment of counterattack would come next.

  Yi Tian and Bai Xue instructed a few words, then handed over to several companions of Liu Wuyan, and took Liu Wuyan out of the hotel.

  When he first came out, Yi Tian saw Liu Wuyan's stunning outfit and frowned. He was about to deal with Wang Xikun and his four men, the danger level can be imagined, what he needed by his side wasn't a burden, although he didn't expect Liu Wuyan to help him in any way, at least she shouldn't drag him down.

  He didn't want to bring Liu Wuyan either, it would be better for him to act freely on his own, but for Bai Xue's sake, he couldn't not bring her.

  Not far from the hotel, there is a workwear store that sells durable and practical clothing, but not very good-looking, such as green military coats, security pants, and construction shoes.

  It's already March and the season for wearing such clothes is over. Few people buy them now, so they're just leftover discounted goods.

  Yi Tian took Liu Wuyan directly to this store and had her re-dressed.

  Regardless of whether she was willing or not, a military coat was thrown on, a broken cotton hat was buttoned up, and work boots were exchanged, completely transforming the elegant and refined Liu Wuyan into a construction worker's attire.

  Seeing Liu Wu Yan pouting and staring at him, Yi Tian raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Do you have any opinions?"

  Liu Wuyan nodded, pulling down the ears of her cotton hat with both hands, looking quite pitiful as she said: "Can we discuss this, do I really have to dress like this?"

  "No room for negotiation!"

  Yi Tian himself also bought a set, when he came out, his hands habitually slipped into his sleeves, slightly hunched over and walking quickly, Liu Wuyan could no longer take her seductive cat steps, closely following behind him, occasionally glaring at Yi Tian.

  Also don't know where Yitian is going, what to do, Liu Wuyan asked: "Where are we going now?"

  "Central Hospital!"

  ……

  In the principal's office, Yi Tian and Liu Wuyan sat side by side on the sofa, while Lu Li was opposite them.

  At this time, Lu Li looked like he wasn't in a good mood either, probably because the death of his old friend made him feel somewhat sad.

  The two of them talked for a while about Bai Weiye, and then Yi Tian asked: "Uncle Lu, I came over this time, and there's something else I want to ask you." As he spoke, he took out the key from his pocket that he had obtained from Bai Xue.

  "Is this key what you asked Uncle to keep for you?"

  Lu Li took the key, looked at it for a few moments and said: "No, Old White said that there were some things stored with me for safekeeping. He also said that if one day Bai Xue came with this key, I should destroy those things."

  By this time, Yi Tian had already confirmed that the two pieces of evidence handed over by Bai Weiye to Lu Li were indeed the ones. He had previously suspected such a possibility, but he didn't expect it to be true after all.

  "What are those things? Do you know?"

  Lu Li shook his head, "Those things were sealed in file bags, I asked too, but Old White just wouldn't say, looks like it's pretty confidential, so I didn't ask much."

  Yi Tian tidied up his thoughts and said, "Uncle Lu, I'll be straightforward with you. That thing has a great deal to do with Uncle's death. If you want his spirit to rest in peace, hand it over to me. I'll help Uncle complete his unfulfilled wish!"

  Lu Li also knew that Bai Weiye's death was very suspicious, and he must have been harmed by someone. Seeing Yi Tian's determined expression, and thinking of his extraordinary skills, Lu Li thought for a moment before responding: "Alright, Yi Tian, I believe you, the thing is in the safe, I'll go get it for you right away."

  After a while, Lu Li handed an envelope to Yi Tian. The two of them chatted casually for a few more sentences before Yi Tian bid farewell and left with Liu Wuyan.

  After leaving the hospital, the two of them went to the antique market and bought some things. Then Yi Tian let Liu Wuyan lead the way, heading straight for Deputy County Magistrate Wang Xikun's residence.

  They had just arrived at the place, Liu Wuyan advised: "Yi Tian, Wang Xikun is now on duty, he should not be at home, you must not act rashly, if the vice mayor is killed, the consequences will be very serious, and it will eventually be traced back to you."

  Yi Tian smiled lightly and then his face turned cold, staring at Wang Xikun's residence, saying: "I won't be so foolish as to do something that harms both others and myself. Today I came just to change the feng shui for our county magistrate!"
