"what?"

Zhou Jianguo was shocked.

He quickly ran forward to investigate himself. He could also feel that Lin Tian's heart was completely still.

damn!

We're really in deep trouble now!

Tiger is urging them on.

Left with no other choice, Zhou Jianguo had his henchmen put Lin Tian into the van, intending to carry his body as a gesture of repentance.

As they prepared to set off, Zhou Jianguo's gaze fell upon the underling who had just made a move against him.

The underling was trembling all over, completely unaware that Zhou Jianguo's cold gaze was fixed on him.

Under the exchange of glances, the henchman in the driver's seat nodded in understanding, then gave a few signals to the rearview mirror, and the people next to the boy pounced on him.

After half an hour.

Zhou Xun paced nervously outside Tiger Famingshan's office.

Tiger, on the other hand, was sitting in his office sipping tea.

Seeing how nervous Zhou Xun was, Tiger sighed, "I really admire the good relationship between you two. If I had a devoted woman like Mrs. Lin by my side, I wouldn't have become so dissolute."

Zhou Xun simply smiled in response without saying anything.

Whether a man is promiscuous or not is a matter of his nature.

Where could things possibly change because of a woman?

She pulled herself out of her thoughts and looked frantically at the driveway.

Zhou Xun's tightly furrowed brows only relaxed the moment the van came into view.

Even the tiger put down its cup of tea and stood up to greet them.

Little did she know that when the van stopped and a large group of people got out, their faces dark and sullen, Zhou Xun immediately sensed something was wrong.

She frowned and asked, "What's with those expressions? What's wrong with Lin Tian?"

Zhou Jianguo glared at Zhou Xun, then walked around her and strode towards the tiger.

Thump!

Zhou Jianguo knelt on the ground, tears welling up in his eyes as if he had suffered some injustice.

"Brother Tiger, I want to apologize to you!"

Tiger's face darkened, and he asked in a low voice, "Didn't I call you? How dare you still attack me?"

"The timing is just perfect! Your call came in just as that good-for-nothing was already hitting Mr. Lin with a stick! Brother Tiger! Please forgive that kid, he's still young. Whatever punishment he faces, I'll take it for him!"

Zhou Jianguo's righteous demeanor is touching, but in reality, it's just an act he puts on to climb the social ladder.

But this time the tiger wasn't buying it.

The tiger, its face dark, swung its cane at him with a fierce blow.

"Both you and the person who laid the hand on me will be punished. Zhou Jianguo, don't think that just because you act the way you usually do in front of me, I don't know you're after your ambition. I understand that, but your mistake was laying a hand on my VIP!"

Zhou Jianguo, who had been behaving like a lapdog just moments before, now had his head bowed low.

He trembled as he tried to defend himself.

However, Zhou Xun had already confirmed Lin Tian's cold body. Perhaps after spending two days together, she had developed a faint affection for Lin Tian. Seeing him lying there lifeless, Zhou Xun was furious.

She didn't even care about her hidden relationship with Zhou Jianguo; she strode forward, her eyes red, and pointed towards the car.

"Brother Tiger! You just assured me that they wouldn't lay a hand on me under your orders, but they still did, and my husband is already dead! Now, even if you say you'll compensate me with anything, it's not going to happen!"

"I'm very curious now, Tiger, what are you planning to say to me? My husband died because of your brothers, and all I want now is an answer from you."

Tiger immediately looked apologetically at Zhou Xun beside him.

He pursed his lips and apologized, "Mrs. Lin, don't be nervous! Since I've already said I'll handle this matter, I will definitely handle it properly for you."

Zhou Xun, however, did not want to hear Tiger's explanation.

She raised her hand, then closed her eyes in despair. "Don't talk to me! I just want an answer. They treat human life like dirt! My husband and I just came here to have some fun. We just don't understand why things have turned out like this!"

“My husband is a rather stubborn person. He thought that since it was the rule, the compensation should be paid accordingly! He also felt that he got along well with you, so he gave you face and lowered the compensation amount. He never expected to be looked down upon like this in the end.”

Zhou Xun gave a soft scoff.

Her words were tinged with displeasure and sarcasm.

This immediately drew the ire of Zhou Jianguo and his henchmen.

They all spoke up for the tiger.

"You woman, shut up! If it weren't for the fact that you're a woman, we would have already attacked you! And our Brother Tiger has already been very polite to you, yet you still demand so much. I think your husband looks down on us, and you're just talking nonsense!"

"Yes! Tiger has been very polite to you all, we've all seen that. You woman, do you have any manners? You're still making a scene here!"

The one who said this was Zhou Jianguo.

He stared wide-eyed, deliberately trying to disgust people here because of his ignorant stupidity and his fawning over the tiger!

Zhou Xun gritted her teeth and stared wide-eyed at Zhou Jianguo.

"If you don't ask, I believe Mr. Tiger can see things more clearly than you can!"

"But you're right about one thing: I do lack manners because my father died when I was young!"

Zhou Jianguo retorted with a sneer, "Dead? Good riddance! With an unfilial daughter like you, he can rest in peace now. Otherwise, seeing you like this, he would be so angry that he would jump out of his coffin."

Zhou Jianguo was completely unaware that there was anything wrong with Zhou Xun's gaze.

He just wanted to argue with her.

The atmosphere instantly became tense.

Tiger hissed irritably, "Enough! I told you, Lin Tian is my VIP. Everyone involved in this operation, including those who planned it, get to your superiors! Zhou Jianguo, I've tolerated you enough. You'll have to pay the compensation yourself."

"When you go to the higher authorities, I will have them personally supervise you so that you receive the punishment you deserve!"

At this moment, Zhou Jianguo stared in shock.

My mind went blank for a moment, and I didn't react in time.

Tiger said to Zhou Xun, "I'm sorry... Madam Lin, are you satisfied with this arrangement?"

Inside the van at this moment.

Lin Tian lay on the dirty ground, his fingers twitching slightly as he gradually regained consciousness.

Meanwhile, the younger brother waiting for trial was terrified by Lin Tian's 'resurrection'.

His eyes were wide open, like copper bells.

He stared intently at Lin Tian.

Lin Tian looked up, a line of blood on his head, glanced at his little brother, and simply smiled faintly.

He put his hand in front of his mouth to make a shushing gesture, then tried to rouse himself and headed outside.

It's so frustrating!

I never thought my get-out-of-jail-free card would be used here!

This body is really weak.
