Listening to Rossi's tone, Lin Tian could imagine this young vampire bowing his head, looking ashamed. Honestly, the moment he spoke just now, Lin Tian was indeed very angry.
But upon further reflection, this matter couldn't be blamed on Rossi. Originally, he instructed Rossi to protect Xiao Manxuan and investigate Sun Hai's whereabouts. Rossi, while doing these tasks, had to carefully avoid Zhang Lingyu; even as a vampire, Rossi's abilities were limited.
It was Mrs. Xiao's sudden disappearance that triggered his anger. Lin Tian took a breath and softened his tone, saying, "It's not your fault. The Second Miss hasn't been harmed, you've already done very well."
"Enough about that. Regarding Mrs. Xiao's disappearance, have you found some useful information in Xikou City?" Lin Tian asked.
"Mrs. Xiao's disappearance can likely be ruled out as Sun Hai's doing," Rossi replied.
"Why?" Lin Tian asked, curious about how Rossi could be so certain.
"Shortly after Brother Tian had me investigate Sun Hai, he was captured. It was the Bai Family who betrayed Sun Hai, revealing his hiding place," Rossi explained.
Lin Tian stopped abruptly; this news was too sudden. The Bai Family once again betrayed Sun Hai; they're really going to crush him completely.
An image of an old man flashed in his mind, precisely Bai Zhengchu, the leader of the Bai Family. Such ruthless actions reaffirmed this old man's viciousness.
To prevent Sun Hai from counterattacking for revenge, Bai Zhengchu simply crushed him underfoot, ensuring Sun Hai could never rise again. Since their last encounter, Bai Zhengchu had faded from Lin Tian's sight for quite a while, not expecting this mention to be when Bai Zhengchu revealed his sharp claws.
This is the kind of person who can get by in places like Myanmar, daring to charge into a den of thieves single-handedly. Bai Zhengchu's cruelty hasn't diminished with age; it's only grown more extreme.
"How is Sun Hai's son?" Lin Tian thought of this former enemy and asked casually.
"He spends every day lounging in bars, drinking away," Rossi said simply.
Drinking away his sorrows? Lin Tian sneered inwardly. Back then, he was such an arrogant wealthy playboy; who would have thought it would come to this?
"Brother Tian, I suspect Mrs. Xiao's disappearance might be related to the Bai Family." Rossi added.
"No need to suspect. Even if the Bai Family isn't directly involved, they're certainly connected. Sun Hai once sold information to the Japanese, and the Bai Family can certainly do the same," Lin Tian said coldly.
Actually, from the moment Miss mentioned Mrs. Xiao's disappearance, Lin Tian first thought of the Bai Family. Bai Zhengchu is too ruthless; there's nothing he wouldn't do, especially after the Xiao Family dealt the Bai Family a heavy blow this time.
"What should I do?" Rossi asked.
"I know what you're thinking. Regarding the Bai Family, you don't need to do anything. Your top priority is to protect the Second Miss until I return. Don't let another disappearance happen!" Lin Tian ordered coldly.
"Alright, Brother Tian," Rossi agreed.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Tian walked into the living room, where An Xiaoru was busy. He couldn't help but say, "Miss Xiao Ru, don't be busy. I'm about to leave the Yun Family."
"Leaving Yun Family? Will you be back for dinner tonight? I'll cook for you," An Xiaoru said gently, thinking Lin Tian was only going out as usual.
Lin Tian shook his head and said, "I have to leave Jinghua City."
"Leaving Jinghua City..." An Xiaoru's demeanor suddenly turned somewhat wistful, softly saying, "Are you still leaving then?"
"All good things must come to an end. We shall meet again someday," Lin Tian had things on his mind and didn't want to say much more, striding out of Yunxiang Inn.
He could feel An Xiaoru's feelings, but now he didn't want to deal with anything, only wanting to return to Xikou City quickly.
The young woman watched Lin Tian's departing figure, reaching out as if trying to hold onto something, wanting to say something, but in the end, said nothing, only silently watched that figure fade away, though the image in her mind grew increasingly clear.
Lin Tian quickly left Yunxiang Inn, and outside, he met Yun Xiaotian who was walking briskly.
"Brother Lin, the helicopter has arrived. I won't ask why you're in such a rush to leave. If you want to speak, you will naturally say what you can; just one thing, a safe journey," Yun Xiaotian said sensibly.
A sixteen-year-old boy, his disposition and temperament already possessed a few hints of a household head's demeanor.
Lin Tian nodded without explaining anything. He agreed with Miss's viewpoint; until the situation was clear, he didn't want to entangle the Yun Family and Ning Family.
Yun Xiaotian led Lin Tian to the Yun Family's helipad, where a helicopter was already waiting, its rotor-generated whirlwind causing their clothes to flutter noisily.
The Yun Family being able to mobilize a helicopter anytime was not surprising. But being able to launch on short notice, Lin Tian knew Yun Xiaotian had done a lot within ten minutes, otherwise, the helicopter would not have gotten a flight path.
Before boarding the helicopter, Lin Tian turned to hug the boy, saying, "As your elder brother, I'll keep it brief. Study hard and make progress every day. Perhaps when you get into university, we might even be schoolmates."
Being hugged by Lin Tian, Yun Xiaotian's body stiffened slightly, his pretty face flushed. He nodded vigorously and said, "Brother Lin will become my senior."
Lin Tian released him, turned, and leaped into the helicopter. Before closing the door, he suddenly remembered something and shouted to Yun Xiaotian, "Miss Luoxi is outside your house. Go tell her I have urgent business to return to Xikou City; shopping will have to wait until the next meeting."
Having said that, he forcefully pulled the hatch closed. With a loud bang, the door shut completely, the helicopter roared and took off into the sky.
Outside the Yun Family's gates, Ning Luoxi was standing beside a car, quietly waiting. The roar of a helicopter reached her ears, causing her to instinctively look up.
A helicopter flew overhead at such speed that even she was somewhat astonished. With her familiarity with helicopters, Ning Luoxi could tell this helicopter was flying nearly at its maximum speed; civilian aircraft rarely flew this fast.
Even military helicopters seldom fly at full speed, unless executing a critical mission.
Not long after the helicopter passed by, a person emerged from the Yun Family's gates. Ning Luoxi looked over, frowning slightly because the person who appeared wasn't Lin Tian, but Yun Xiaotian.
"Yun Xiaotian, why is it you? Where's Lin Tian; surely he isn't like a girl who needs half a day to get ready to come out?" Ning Luoxi said loudly.
Familiar with Ning Luoxi's fiery temper, Yun Xiaotian naturally knew her, so for the task Lin Tian assigned him to deliver this message, the boy felt some trepidation.
He tried to use a gentle tone, saying, "Brother Lin asked me to tell you, he's urgently returning to Xikou City, so shopping will have to wait until next time."
