The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 439: Chapter 439: Beg Me

Lin Tian’s face looked unpleasant. No one would be happy being called a ’little bastard’, especially when he was helping the other person.

”Old turtle, it seems we have nothing more to say. If you want to save your daughter and your precarious Bai Family, come and beg me!”

With that, Lin Tian directly hung up the phone, seething with anger.

Bai Group, Conference Room.

Bai Tianlong was holding a phone, sitting in the chairman’s seat in the conference room, but his face looked quite unpleasant.

Fluctuating between green and white, clearly infuriated.

Others in the conference room were either major shareholders of the Bai Group or direct descendants of the Bai Family. They were all people of great stature outside.

But seeing Bai Tianlong’s expression, no one dared to breathe loudly, fearing they might provoke his wrath upon themselves.

”Damn it!”

Bai Tianlong stood up from his chair, and in his rage, he smashed the phone to pieces. It was the third phone he broke today.

For so many years, who dared speak to Bai Tianlong like that? Who dared call him an old turtle?

No one, never! Because no one dared.

Cursing, breaking a phone. The anger inside Bai Tianlong wasn’t fully vented, but he had nothing else to smash, so he sat back in his chair helplessly.

In the large conference hall, no one dared speak. Everyone had their heads lowered, except for one person who stood up, picked up the broken phone, extracted the SIM card, and placed it into a new phone, setting it before Bai Tianlong.

This person was the Bai Family’s butler, also Bai Tianlong’s secretary. Despite his lowly position, everyone except Bai Tianlong had to show him some respect.

Bai Tianlong stared blankly at the chair, his mind replaying Lin Tian’s words.

”If you want to save your daughter and your precarious Bai Family, come and beg me!”

Bai Jiaming was already dead; now, Bai Shishi was his only child.

To beg one’s enemy for his daughter and family?

Bai Tianlong was very conflicted.

Compelled by some unseen force, Bai Tianlong’s trembling hand reached out and dialed the number again.

”Lin Tian!” Bai Tianlong tried to keep his voice calm, but mentioning the name, he couldn’t help but grit his teeth.

Lin Tian, holding the phone, inwardly sneered: Old turtle, it seems you can’t keep your cool.

”What’s up, old turtle?” Lin Tian replied blandly.

Bai Tianlong again felt like smashing his phone, but recalling Lin Tian’s previous words, he restrained himself. ”Do you have a way to save the Bai Family and Shishi?”

”No,” Lin Tian replied bluntly.

”You’re playing me!” Bai Tianlong roared, wishing he could grind Lin Tian to dust.

”I have no solution, but I have a clue.”

Bai Tianlong’s expression softened significantly. He had no leads at all, or else he wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.

”What clue?”

”Beg me.”

”You!” Bai Tianlong’s expression turned savage again.

”Forget it if you won’t beg; after all, the Bai Family has nothing to do with me. Bye-bye.”

Hearing Lin Tian about to hang up, Bai Tianlong panicked and blurted out, ”Wait...”

”What else?”

”I beg you!” Bai Tianlong hissed those three words through gritted teeth, then snorted heavily. ”Can you speak now?”

Hearing those three words, Lin Tian’s anger subsided a bit. He replied resentfully, ”I think it might have something to do with Du Dahai and Wang Sicong.”

”Who is Wang Sicong?” Bai Tianlong furrowed his brow.

”I don’t know, but his background should be quite substantial. Go investigate; I think it might be related to Wang Sicong,” Lin Tian replied.

Hearing this, Bai Tianlong looked up and asked the shareholders present, ”Who knows who Wang Sicong is?”

Soon, a young man stood up from his chair and respectfully replied, ”Chairman, I know. Wang Sicong is the eldest son of the Wang Family, currently attending university.”

”Go compile his information and bring it to me,” Bai Tianlong instructed the young man.

The young man looked delighted, nodded quickly, and left as if he had been granted amnesty.

Lin Tian then asked, ”Does your Bai Family have any conflicts of interest with the Wang Family?”

”The Wang Family? Their main industries are real estate and herbal medicine, neither of which we, the Bai Family, are involved in. There really aren’t any major conflicts. Besides, the Wang Family is a very low-profile but massive family. Why do you suspect them?”

Lin Tian recounted the events of the past few days to Bai Tianlong, though he had no evidence, just some deductions.

After listening attentively, Bai Tianlong didn’t fully believe it. He only said, ”I will investigate the Wang Family’s affairs, but even if it’s known they did it, what can you do?”

”Are you a pig brain? Counterattack! They falsely accuse your company; just present yourselves as the innocent party to the public and wait for the authorities to exonerate you.”

Bai Tianlong, being a smart man, understood Lin Tian’s implication: hide all scandal evidence, beautify the situation, and let the relevant agencies inform the public. By then, the Bai Family’s crisis would naturally resolve.

”It’s easy for you to say. The other side is clearly prepared this time; it won’t be so easy to prove our innocence.”

”Mr. Wang is still in my hands; that’s our leverage. Plus, you’d better find some bargaining chips to threaten the Wang Family. I suspect Mr. Wang’s influence in the Wang Family might not be that strong.”

”Fine, I’ll trust you this once.”

”Trust or not, it’s up to you. If I save the Bai Family, you owe me some benefits, right?” Lin Tian said.

Bai Tianlong snorted heavily, ”What benefits do you want?”

”For instance, forget all about Bai Jiaming’s matter.”

”That simple?”

”Of course, you also have to help me explain to Shishi that it was your son who tried to harm me and ended up getting himself killed. I don’t need to take the blame for that.”

”You killed my son and still want to date my daughter? You’re dreaming!”

”Watch your language; I didn’t kill your son. He tried to kill me and ended up killing himself.”

”Do you think I would believe you?”

”It doesn’t matter if you don’t. Once the Bai Family collapses, I can explain everything to Shishi.”

”Lin Tian!” Bai Tianlong yelled.

”Being angry won’t help. If it weren’t for Shishi disappearing, do you think I’d help you? I’ve said my part, now think it over yourself.”

With that, Lin Tian directly hung up the phone again, leaving Bai Tianlong so angry his eyes reddened. He raised his hand, wanting to smash his phone again, but finally restrained himself.
