The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1174: Chapter 1174: Fairy Bodyguard

Lin Tian chuckled softly. With such a big issue at hand, it’s only normal that someone would be watching.

Besides, just around this villa, there are people from the Twelve Families. They’re hidden in the shadows, constantly watching the movements here.

It seems calm on the surface, but in reality, everyone is keeping their wits about them.

”What’s on the table?” Lin Tian pointed at the file bag on the table and asked. It was what Mei Ruyan had just put down, thick and seemingly full. But Lin Tian had no intention of looking at it and thought it might be quicker to just ask them directly.

”These are for Shishi,” Mei Ruyan said.

”Hmm?”

”Your secretary isn’t a good person; she’s been bought off long ago. In here, this details everything she’s been up to recently, including stealing the secret formulas for the White Lotus Living Powder. Additionally, she has some accomplices lurking within our company, and they hold some real power. If these people decided to act fiercely, it would cause a heap of trouble,” Mei Ruyan said.

Bai Shishi looked somewhat stunned. She really hadn’t expected her secretary, who had been by her side, to betray her. The salary and benefits she offered her were no small amount.

Unfortunately, greed knows no bounds.

”What did you do to them?” Bai Shishi asked expressionlessly, naturally referring to the people in the documents.

”Originally, I was just investigating how the flowers got there and ended up tracing it to your secretary. Don’t even mention, that woman is ruthless, she covered her tracks well, and at first, I didn’t suspect her at all. But her attitude towards this matter was very unusual, and I used a few tricks to coax the truth out of her.”

”Currently, she’s still at the company. When I questioned her closely, she was very tight-lipped. I ended up threatening her with her son, and she started to crack. She confessed about all these matters and people. I believe she’s probably too scared to make a move now. As for the others, they’ve been identified, but no alarms were raised. The issue is too big, and I can’t handle it.”

Mei Ruyan finished speaking in one breath, someone who usually doesn’t talk so much.

Bai Shishi let out a long sigh, feeling somewhat frustrated as well.

Like Mei Ruyan said, she couldn’t handle it because too many commercial spies hold real power at Qiansimei, and getting rid of them all at once would cause many departments to go into a temporary shutdown.

If dealt with one by one, it wouldn’t take long for them to notice, which would also spark quite a commotion and create considerable trouble within Qiansimei.

Moreover, no one knows if these people have anything in their possession that could harm Qiansimei.

And whether they have had access to core formulas is also unknown.

It’s like a minefield, needing careful clearing, and accidentally setting one off would be a catastrophe.

Lin Tian also noticed Bai Shishi’s worries and asked with a smile, ”Do you need my help?”

What could Lin Tian help with? He didn’t know either. But no matter what Bai Shishi said, he would readily agree because he was her man.

Bai Shishi smiled and said, ”These are small matters; I can handle them myself. You just need to take care of your health to help me. Alright, everyone, let’s have breakfast and try my cooking.”

In Lin Tian’s impression, Bai Shishi had always been a strong woman. It seemed this was the first time she cooked, though it was only simple fried eggs, bread, and sausages, it looked quite appetizing.

Lin Tian had just picked up a fried egg and placed it on his white porcelain plate, ready to eat when a delicate hand reached over and took the whole plate away.

Lin Tian looked at Xu Xianrong in shock, ”What’s wrong?”

”From now on, you can’t eat meat; you can only have vegetarian food until your meridians are fully healed,” Xu Xianrong said, leaving no room for refusal.

Lin Tian paused with his chopsticks for a second, ”Why?”

”No reason; your body can only handle vegetarian food right now. I’m doing this for your own good.”

I’m doing this for your own good.

Just six words and Lin Tian was rendered speechless.

When someone is doing something for your own good, how can you argue?

”Here, eat this.” Xu Xianrong pointed at the bread on the table. Seeing Lin Tian’s gaze, she added, ”Aren’t you going to thank me?”

”Thank you, Auntie!” Lin Tian said, laughing and crying at the same time. Being managed by such a beautiful fairy, he couldn’t tell if it was a blessing or a curse.

”Also, the person keeping an eye on you now is very likely Kun Yun. This was deduced from the powder of the dead insects, and only he could come up with such bizarre things. So if you plan to go out, you need to inform me in advance, otherwise, you might not know how you died out there,” Xu Xianrong said nonchalantly.

At the end, Xu Xianrong emphasized, ”I don’t care if you die. I just don’t want to see my two nieces upset. If Ruyan didn’t beg me, I wouldn’t even bother protecting you.”

Lin Tian laughed, ”Thank you, Auntie.”

He really couldn’t understand why she had such a soft heart but such a sharp tongue.

However, having an additional fairy bodyguard by his side was quite a pleasant thought.

After finishing breakfast, Lin Tian returned to his room, took out two pills from a wooden box to nurture his body, and swallowed them. Only when his abdomen felt warm did he start sitting cross-legged, breathing and circulating Spiritual Qi in his Sea of Qi to nurture his meridians.

This meditation lasted nine hours. But the gains were minimal, with the recovery being exceptionally slow.

Everything is difficult at the start, especially when the backlash of blood and Qi had been so severe.

Having adjusted his breathing, Lin Tian finally returned to the living room on the first floor. Having skipped lunch, he needed to supplement his food intake in the evening.

By now, Bai Shishi and Mei Ruyan had returned to the company to handle the matters of the secretary and others, leaving only Lin Tian along with Xu Xianrong and Miaoqiu, the aunt and niece, at the villa.

His dinner was also personally prepared by Miaoqiu, a vegetarian herbal meal. It tasted slightly bitter but was filling.

Just as Lin Tian was almost done eating, his phone rang. Seeing the caller display, it was LuuYong.

Without hesitation, Lin Tian answered the call. He heard LuuYong saying, ”Hey, Tian, I’ve got some new information.”

”Go on.”

”You know gathering information isn’t easy for me, especially recently. I’ve had to put in a lot of effort to get to my current position and stay close to Wang Sicong. You see...”

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Tian knew what this greedy guy was hinting at.

”How much do you want this time?” Lin Tian asked directly.

”Heh heh, not much, a hundred thousand, a drop in the ocean for you.”

”My money doesn’t just fall from the sky. You say it first, if it’s worth the price, I’ll give it to you.”

”Deal, Tian’s always straightforward! Here’s the deal...”
