Chapter 22: Chapter 20: Long Pavilion at Work

”Bingxuan, what are you doing?”

Xiao Tian’s phone call was for Lin Bingxuan.

On the other end, Lin Bingxuan was standing at the mall counter, choosing men’s shoes.

Realizing it was Xiao Tian calling, the love-struck Lin Bingxuan showed a hint of tenderness on her face, ”I’m... shopping.” After thinking for a moment, she didn’t tell Xiao Tian she was buying something for him, wanting to give him a surprise.

”Is anyone following you?” According to Xiao Tian’s guess, given Lin Bingxuan’s status, she should have at least one or two bodyguards with her.

”No, I’m out on my own.”

Originally, Lin Bingxuan could have instructed her secretary to shop for her, but buying something for her beloved is more reassuring if she chooses it herself.

”Bingxuan, leave there immediately, go to a safe place, and wait for me to get there.” Hearing no one was with her, Xiao Tian urgently instructed.

”What’s wrong?” Noticing something off in Xiao Tian’s tone, Lin Bingxuan asked.

”I’ll explain the details when I get to you. For now, just leave there.”

The fact that the Long Pavilion found her so quickly proves they’ve already investigated her.

Her family’s deep and secretive background might still be out of their reach.

But the people she’s met and the things she’s done in Shanghai might have been figured out by them.

Besides, today she drove Lin Bingxuan’s car, and they knew it was her inside, which means they might already know about her relationship with Lin Bingxuan.

Given the Long Pavilion’s tactics, it’s hard to say they won’t go after Lin Bingxuan, which is precisely why Xiao Tian called her.

”Okay, I’ll head back to the office.” Lin Bingxuan trusted Xiao Tian completely, and since he said so, she did as he suggested.

Afterward, Xiao Tian asked Lin Bingxuan for the mall she was at and her office location and then hurriedly drove over to Lin Bingxuan, instructing her not to hang up and to keep the call connected.

What Xiao Tian didn’t know is that after he left, a sports car crashed into a ditch, and someone fiercely pushed it open from inside, as the scar-faced Hu Dong, covered in injuries, crawled out...

...

On the other side, warned by Xiao Tian, Lin Bingxuan didn’t dare linger. She finished shopping and quickly left the mall.

Exiting the mall, Lin Bingxuan paced quickly, her heels clicking.

Because the mall parking was full earlier, Lin Bingxuan parked her car in a farther parking lot, needing to cross a street to reach it.

With too many items in hand, Lin Bingxuan stopped to switch hands. As she turned sideways, she suddenly noticed two men tailing her at a close distance, their rogue appearance revealing their bad intentions.

Lin Bingxuan’s heart skipped a beat; Xiao Tian’s concern was not without reason as someone indeed intended to harm her. She immediately straightened up and briskly walked, carrying her things.

Her quick-paced steps echoed as she approached the parking lot, but suddenly, two strong men rushed out from the shadows, grabbed Lin Bingxuan, covered her mouth, and dragged her into an alley.

”Mmm... What do you want to do!”

”Shut up! Stop yelling!” The other two thugs also caught up, staring at Lin Bingxuan with ferocity.

Helplessly struggling, Lin Bingxuan was dragged into the depths of the alley.

Inside the alley, Lin Bingxuan seized the chance to break free. However, as she tried to escape, the thugs blocked her path, and the dimly lit alley stretched long with no sign of people. If she shouted for help, she’d likely be knocked out by them.

Lin Bingxuan was nervous but remained relatively calm. Since Xiao Tian hadn’t told her why, she didn’t know their purpose for intercepting her. If they wanted money, she’d give it to them.

From the thugs’ perspective, though Lin Bingxuan had freed herself, she was surrounded, already a bird in a cage, with no means of escape.

”Haha, didn’t expect this woman to not even have a bodyguard, tying her up was so easy.”

The thugs laughed arrogantly.

”Yeah, she’s one of Shanghai’s four beauties and went out without security. We really got lucky, hahaha...”

”That’s right, we’ve tied up one of Shanghai’s four beauties! We’ve only seen such chicks on TV.” A dyed-haired thug suddenly stared at Lin Bingxuan, gradually revealing a lewd look, ”Guys, we’re in for a treat!”

The other three thugs, upon hearing this, collectively stared at Lin Bingxuan. Her long legs, fair skin, and attractive face made them swallow hard.

”Damn, this chick is damn fine!” The four thugs’ gaze towards Lin Bingxuan grew increasingly fervent.

”Hey, why don’t we have some fun with her first and then take her back?” a thug sneered wickedly.

Upon hearing their conversation, Lin Bingxuan’s heart tightened; it seemed these people weren’t after money.

”What do you want! Don’t come closer!”

The thugs continued speaking, gradually approaching Lin Bingxuan, even reaching out their hands with lewd smiles.

Lin Bingxuan, despite being a strong woman, was still a woman, and couldn’t help but panic, swiftly backing away from the thugs’ filthy hands.

”Hahaha, keep screaming, keep screaming...”

The other three thugs watched their companion approach excitedly. The more terrified Lin Bingxuan grew, the more thrilled they felt.

Scared, Lin Bingxuan shouted towards the outside, ”Someone, please! Help!”

Outside, the alley connects to the street. Though not a main road, there were passersby. Hearing a woman’s cry for help, someone stopped to peer inside.

”Is someone in there? What’s going on? What happened?” A middle-aged man took two steps inside, concernedly asking.

”Help! There’s a kidnapping here!” Lin Bingxuan urgently explained to the passersby.

”What? Someone actually dares to kidnap in broad daylight? Is there no law left?” The middle-aged man was warm-hearted, and he had a few friends following him in. With a significant number on their side, upon seeing the four thugs surrounding Lin Bingxuan, the middle-aged man shouted, ”What are you doing? Let her go! Or we’ll call the police!”

The brawny thug scoffed disdainfully, ”Long Pavilion is handling business, if you don’t want to die, get the hell out of here!”

Long Pavilion!!!

In Shanghai, you might not know who the city officials are, but you definitely know the kind of presence Long Pavilion holds!

As soon as those three words were uttered, the warm-hearted middle-aged man and his friends were shocked.

Long Pavilion was not someone he could afford to offend. The middle-aged man glanced apologetically at Lin Bingxuan and started backing out of the alley.

”Hurry, hurry, Long Pavilion isn’t someone we can mess with.”

With the middle-aged man retreating, the thugs became even more smug, bursting into unrestrained laughter.

”Hahaha, a bunch of losers, hurry and get the hell out! Or I’ll kill you all!”

Seeing the middle-aged man slipping away even faster, Lin Bingxuan felt truly terrified this time.

Long Pavilion, it’s actually Long Pavilion!

Lin Bingxuan was a businesswoman from the white-collar world, and naturally, she had heard of Long Pavilion. Offending them was like offending Death God.

Initially, she knew that Xiao Tian was coming, so she didn’t feel too afraid at first.

Setting aside whether Xiao Tian could find this place, the key issue was that their opponent was Long Pavilion.

Letting Xiao Tian offend such a giant would be like throwing an egg against a rock.

”Hehehe, beauty, let’s continue.” The thug laughed lecherously

as he approached again.

”Old Three, you better hurry up, or we’ll go first!” the other three thugs urged.

”I know, I know, what’s the rush.” The thug with dyed hair stared at Lin Bingxuan’s panicked face, growing more excited and finally couldn’t contain himself, howling like a wolf, lunging at Lin Bingxuan.

”Help! Help!”

No matter how much Lin Bingxuan screamed, no one dared to enter and help.

Faced with the advancing thug, Lin Bingxuan frantically dodged, but was blocked at every turn,

tripping and falling to the ground as the thug laughed lecherously and pounced on her.

”Haha, here I come, beauty!”

Seeing the thug about to pounce on her, could it be that her purity would not remain safe today? Lin Bingxuan despaired, tears streaming out.

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed past the alley entrance, charging rapidly into the alley.

”Hey, are you out of your mind? That’s Long Pavilion inside!”

A frantic voice from the middle-aged man came from behind the figure.

The figure charged incredibly fast, almost instantly arriving in front of the four thugs.

Seeing that someone dared to enter, another dyed-hair thug guarding outside yelled arrogantly, ”Damn it! You still dare to come in here, really seeking death... ugh...”

Before the thug could finish his words, the figure raised a fist and punched.

The thug, who was just rolling up his sleeves, flew away like a scarecrow in a parabolic arc.

”Boom!” He hit the ground, crying out in pain.

A single punch to send someone flying!

The remaining ones were quite stunned.

The brawny thug standing on the other side suddenly came to his senses, ”Damn, you dare hit Long Pavilion’s people? You’re damn tired of life... ugh...”

Before the brawny thug could charge forward, the figure had already rushed to his side, raising a fist for another punch.

”Bam!” The 180-pound brawny thug staggered, sitting on the ground, clutching his stomach in pain.

The other brawny thug at the very back was the leader of the four thugs. When he finally saw the figure clearly, he finally reacted, glaring and shouting, ”You’re that little cop!” Then he mumbled incredulously, ”Dong actually slipped up...” The first top fighter under the chairman, Hu Dong, hadn’t managed to handle a little cop. The brawny thug appeared a bit dazed.

It was indeed Xiao Tian! Xiao Tian had rushed in, rapidly finding Lin Bingxuan’s exact location, instantly taking down two thugs.

He flashed in front of the thug trying to strip Lin Bingxuan, grabbed his red hair, dragged him over, and looked at him coldly.

Before thug number three could curse, Xiao Tian lifted his foot and stomped on thug number three’s hand.

”Crack!” The sound of bones breaking, ”Ah! Ah! Ah...” The thug number three, who had just been in a state of excitement, was now howling and collapsed on his knees.

Xiao Tian, looking down on him, lifted his leg and kicked the thug number three right in the groin.

”Plop!” The sound of rupturing parts, ”Awooo! Awooo! Awooo!!!” The thug number three’s scream turned into like a pig being slaughtered, rolling on the ground.
