The Invincible Strongest Student

Chapter 1273: Chapter 1273: The Schemer

The Fourth Elder’s words were something Wang Daoran was already aware of. Killing someone in a police station was incredibly reckless behavior; the Fourth Elder was right that he was digging his own grave.

But in such a situation, how could he possibly remain calm?

Not ridding himself of this threat made him uneasy!

”Don’t do anything stupid, that’s the police station!” the Fourth Elder reiterated. ”And Secretary Zhou is definitely a primary suspect now; you can’t do anything to him!”

”I understand,” Wang Daoran replied weakly.

He knew that if the Ancient Martial the Wang Family didn’t kill Secretary Zhou, he wouldn’t be able to escape either. What comfort was there? It was useless!

Wang Daoran had considered paying heavily to have someone make a move in the police station. But he discarded the idea upon further thought, as it would almost bring down the entire Ancient Martial the Wang Family with it. Even if he survived this crisis, the family would not spare him.

”You still haven’t told me why Secretary Zhou was arrested. Given his cautious nature, how did it happen so quickly, and with a warrant?”

Wang Daoran left nothing unsaid and told the Fourth Elder everything.

After listening, the Fourth Elder said, ”That Zhang Ya’Er was obviously bribed. Who do you think it could be?”

”It’s not clear yet. The company has many enemies, and finding that person will take time,” Wang Daoran said.

”Is it possible that it’s Lin Tian?” the Fourth Elder asked.

Wang Daoran replied, ”I considered that before, but I think it’s unlikely. He just acquired shares, so doing this would be more harmful than beneficial to him.”

...

Xianglong Building, Chairman’s Office.

Bai Shishi looked at the Share Transfer Agreement in her hands, her expression a mix of laughter and tears.

Lin Tian, sitting in the chair opposite her, watched her expression and asked puzzledly, ”Why are you making that face?”

Bai Shishi put down the agreement, leaned back in her chair, and said, ”Why did you, having acquired so many shares and made such a fortune, go and get Wang Daoran’s secretary involved? Those valuable shares might soon lose half their value. I find it a pity.”

Lin Tian laughed, ”Those shares are valuable, sure, but they came to me for free, so I don’t feel it’s a pity.”

Bai Shishi couldn’t quite understand. Watching the younger man in front of her, curiosity got the better of her. She slipped off her high heels under the table and stretched her leg toward Lin Tian, rubbing his leg while saying, ”Go on then.”

Previously, Bai Shishi wouldn’t have made such provocative moves; it was all a result of being taught by Lin Tian recently, turning her into a coquettish kitten that teases whenever the opportunity arises.

Bai Shishi made subtle moves under the table, yet her expression remained unchanged as if nothing was happening.

Enjoying the smoothness of Bai Shishi’s leg, Lin Tian had a physiological reaction, his gaze turning predatory as he contemplated relieving his urges in the office!

”You rascal, why are you looking at me like that? I asked you a question, speak up.” Bai Shishi gazed at Lin Tian seductively, increasing the intensity of her movements under the table. Her bare leg lifted higher, heading toward dangerous territory!

Lin Tian glared at her indignantly, thinking, who’s the real rascal here?

Lin Tian grabbed Bai Shishi’s leg and said, ”Wu Yong and I visited the three gaming venues, won a lot of money. Now that something happened at the venues, the Wang Family must know it was me. With both mid-level and high-level people involved, they won’t sit still; they’ll come to negotiate and beg me.”

With one leg caught, Bai Shishi decided to remove the shoe from her other leg as well, moving it over to Lin Tian and teasing while she said, ”So, you demanded 12% of the shares?”

”I initially wanted 15%, but they didn’t offer it. But that’s not important. Sigh~ Do you want to keep listening? Put your leg down first! It’s distracting me.”

Bai Shishi coyly replied, ”I won’t~ just like this. Isn’t it comfortable?”

Lin Tian didn’t say whether it was comfortable or not, allowing her to continue teasing. He maintained his composure with difficulty and said, ”Recently, Wang Daoran has been searching for Zhang Ya’Er but hasn’t found her. I’ve already sent her to the Security Management Institute. She has bank records and audio recordings as evidence. The police quickly obtained a warrant, but I had the Security Management Institute hold onto the warrant before arresting that secretary just because I hadn’t received the shares yet.”

”Yesterday, I met with the Wang Family and settled the price for the shares. Today, after I signed the contract, the waiting police immediately arrested that secretary. To the Wang Family, the timing seems too coincidental, making it unlike something I would do. Besides, having just received so many shares for free, I wouldn’t do something that harms others and myself.”

”So, why did you do something that harms others and yourself?” Bai Shishi, who had been sitting upright, now leaned halfway back in her chair, running her legs over Lin Tian.

”With the shares now in my hands, they’ll definitely attract envy. Although I’m not afraid, it’s better to have fewer troubles. By arresting Wang Daoran’s secretary and then nab Wang Daoran himself, those shares won’t be as valuable, and there will be fewer people envious. Moreover, in the Wang Family’s eyes, my suspicion is reduced, so they won’t act recklessly. Otherwise, we’d be exhausted guarding against them daily. Also, there’s...”

”Also?” Bai Shishi couldn’t fathom where he got so many convoluted ideas.

”Don’t interrupt, I’m already distracted by your teasing. Where was I? Right, with Wang Daoran arrested, the Wang Family’s prestige will drop significantly, and his chairman position will soon be filled by someone else. The Wang Family had already been weakened after we seized nearly half of their assets. Now with shares in my possession, even if someone can stabilize things, it’s only temporary. We can gradually erode them. Of course, the Wang Family is a big cake, we’ve taken a lot already, and others are watching the remaining pieces, so we might not get much.”

Bai Shishi looked at Lin Tian with sultry eyes and said, ”I think you’re quite suited to being a schemer; you’ve played the Wang Family terribly, acquiring shares and diverting their attention.”

”I think a different occupation suits me better,” Lin Tian said.

”What?”

”A scoundrel or perhaps a rogue!”

As he spoke, Lin Tian suddenly stood up, walked to the door, and locked the office.

Bai Shishi jumped, ”What are you doing? This is the office!”

Lin Tian grinned wickedly, ”You know this is the office? Weren’t you having fun just now?”

”It’s different!”

”There’s no difference; don’t you find the office more thrilling?” Lin Tian shrugged.

”No way!”

”Heh, now your words don’t count anymore! Who told you to play with fire?”
