Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty
Chapter 102: The Eve of Madness (2)
Beichen was depressed, but Lin Tao was very happy.
Nanshan, this once unknown hill, has now transformed into a boundary line where prosperity and tranquility are intertwined due to the rapid development of Fanjiang City, closely following the pulse of this city.
Before, people could enter and exit here freely, but in the past ten years or so, because the Beichen family’s ancestral tomb is here, they have fenced off the place. As a result, they have a great influence in Fanjiang, so no one comes to care about it.
But now it’s no longer possible. Since the government has decided to develop this place and has started to take action, it would be inappropriate for Beichen to continue to occupy it like this.
In fact, Lin Tao was not very interested in this place at all. The reason he got involved was because he also noticed some strange things here.
Li Jingrui was deeply depressed. He didn't know what had gotten into Tian Tian, insisting on taking them on a mountain hike. They'd even gone to Nanshan, where the Beichen family's ancestral tombs lay. The mountain wasn't particularly high, but the pampered children of wealthy families couldn't handle the hardship. Before they were even halfway up, Li Jingrui was already complaining.
Sweat trickled down Li Jingrui's forehead. She clung tightly to a thin yet resilient tree. Her chest rose and fell violently with every breath. Her brow furrowed, her gaze straining to penetrate the layers of greenery. Her voice was tinged with fatigue and impatience. "How far is it?"
Tian Tian, who was walking in the front, showed no intention of stopping and continued to move forward. "We're almost there. Just hold on a little longer. We'll reach the top of the mountain soon."
"Oh, I really... my legs feel as heavy as if they were filled with lead." Li Jingrui sighed softly, fanning himself with his hands, gently swaying them to create a breeze, trying to relieve the heat around him. His face was flushed, and he looked quite pretty.
"Hold on a little longer, we'll be there soon." Hong Momo followed closely behind, her breathing a little hurried, but she still tried to straighten her back, one hand gently supporting her waist, her eyes looking through the layers of trees, firmly at the top of the mountain that seemed so far away but yet within reach.
Although Lin Xue'er didn't say a word, the weariness she couldn't conceal was evident in her features. However, she maintained her unique calmness and detachment, as if the world's turmoil couldn't disturb her in the slightest. She followed Tian Tian closely, her steps firm, without a single slack or complaint.
Li Jingrui handed all her belongings to her bodyguard Zhong Liyu, who followed her closely, his face showing no sign of hardship. He was carrying several bags filled with food and other items that Tian Tian and the others had prepared for the picnic on the top of the mountain.
At this moment, he stood quietly beside Li Jingrui, his eyes as sharp as a hawk's, vigilantly scanning every inch of the surrounding space. To him, this distance was just a light leap, but to protect Li Jingrui's safety, it was more important than Mount Tai, and every step required extreme caution.
"Pull me." Li Jingrui shouted to Zhong Liyu who was standing beside him. Zhong Liyu did not refuse, nor did she say anything else. She stretched out her hand, tightly grasped Li Jingrui's hand, and led her forward silently.
Zhong Liyu may or may not have noticed the sly smile that appeared on Li Jingrui's face. The other girls turned around and glanced at them, then exchanged glances, all understanding what Li Jingrui was thinking.
Tian Tian wore a very nice hat today, and a white Bluetooth headset was stuffed into her ears. What everyone didn't notice was that there was a well-hidden camera on the edge of her hat, and the headset was also connected to her phone.
On the surface, it looked like she was hiking in Nanshan with a few good friends, but the camera was actually connected to Lin Tao's computer. At this moment, Lin Tao was sitting next to the computer, checking the real-time images of Nanshan transmitted by Tian Tian.
Liu Liu was also next to him, staring at the computer screen nervously.
"How is it? Have you found anything unusual?" Lin Tao asked the computer screen.
Tian Tian gently pressed the earphone button, carefully looked around, and said softly, "I haven't found anything unusual yet, but we are now not far from the Beichen family's ancestral tomb. I think if he really has any arrangements here, we should be able to find something unusual there."
Lin Tao frowned. He was not wearing sunglasses, and the worry on his face was clearly visible.
"Be careful, I'm afraid Beichen might have some secrets in there. If you find anything wrong, evacuate immediately."
Tian Tian didn't reply. The computer screen turned and several other girls appeared on the screen. Tian Tian shouted at them loudly. Lin Tao knew that Tian Tian did this on purpose to see if Beichen really had someone here.
"Hurry up, we'll be there soon."
In the picture, Hong Momo's face was covered in sweat, but she was strong and didn't show any sign of being tired. Lin Xue'er still had that cold look on her face, as if nothing mattered to her.
On the contrary, Li Jingrui was different. She was almost dragged away by her bodyguard named Zhong Liyu. Although she kept saying that she was tired, in Lin Tao's view, she had a particularly sweet smile on her face at the moment.
"Li Jingrui seems to like her bodyguard very much!" Lin Tao said gossipingly.
Tian Tian also deliberately took another look at them, and a smile of understanding appeared on her face.
"You're still gossiping at this hour." Tian Tian complained unhappily.
Lin Tao smiled and shook his head, continuing to stare at the screen. He knew that in Tian Tian's heart, uncovering the secrets of the Beichen family was her top priority. Although everything around her seemed unrelated to this goal, he knew that beneath this relaxed surface, a greater danger lay hidden.
As the group continued to climb toward the summit, Tian Tian's expression grew increasingly focused. She frowned slightly, her brows twitching as the real-time data streaming through her headphones made her nervous. Although they hadn't encountered anything unusual at the moment, the mixture of nervousness and anticipation within her grew stronger.
"We're almost there!" Tian Tian finally couldn't help but shout loudly, as if trying to encourage herself and the others. Li Jingrui was still panting with exhaustion, but the smile on her face couldn't be washed away by the sweat. She seemed to be immersed in the tug of war with Zhong Liyu, enjoying it very much.
"Oh my god! I have to lose weight!" Li Jingrui finally sat down and watched the others walk towards the top of the mountain. Zhong Liyu was slightly startled, then leaned over, as if to give her some simple support. At this moment, Lin Tao suddenly noticed something was wrong—he saw several figures moving in the distance.
"Attention, there are several people moving towards you at 9 o'clock." Lin Tao shouted, staring at the upper right corner of the screen.
Tian Tian also stopped and looked in the direction Lin Tao said.
Zhongli Yu seemed to have noticed something as well. He pulled up Li Jingrui, who was sitting on the ground, and protected him behind him, staring coldly at the direction where the figures were moving.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Tian Tian stop, Hong Momo walked forward a few steps in confusion, came to Tian Tian's side and asked.
Lin Xueer frowned slightly and came to Tian Tian's side. She also noticed something strange on the top of the mountain.
