Chapter 310 Cooperation
"You're f*cking asking for it!"
The moment he spoke, Jie Jun was enraged. In his heart, he had long considered He Qianqian his woman.
He violently slammed his foot onto the table and thrust the dagger in his hand straight towards Lin Tian.
Lin Tian had already been furious these past few days due to the issues with the Devil Mercenary Group. The murder of Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin had only intensified his killing aura.
Before the dagger could reach him, Lin Tian kicked out quickly, sending Jie Jun flying backward with preemptive force.
Jie Jun never expected Lin Tian to be so fierce, and taken off guard, his dagger flew out of his grasp.
Lin Tian caught the dagger midair and followed Jie Jun like a shadow. As soon as Jie Jun hit the ground, Lin Tian thrust the dagger into his arm.
"This arm's too fragile, it's no use to me. Let's see how this leg holds up!"
With that, another stab of the dagger landed on Jie Jun's thigh.
Jie Jun was tough, having been stabbed in both the arm and thigh by Lin Tian, yet he didn't utter a sound, just clenched his teeth and glared at Lin Tian.
"Brother, not bad at all. But you've wounded me today. Your woman's going to be in danger in this area."
"What you're saying is, I should take your life as well."
"Heh heh heh, ruthless. I like it. We're both men, let's skip the nonsense. I wasn't prepared today. How about this? In three days, I'll set a place. We'll settle this matter, okay?"
Jie Jun didn't even glance at his wounded arm and leg, but his defiant spirit indeed made an impression on Lin Tian.
Killing Jie Jun would be as easy as turning his hand, but there was the fear that Jie Jun had subordinates who might target He Qianqian if they got the chance.
"Fine, you set the place in three days."
The two exchanged phone numbers, and Jie Jun limped away. Even as he bled with every step, he remained utterly silent.
"Lin Tian, why have you become so violent?"
He Qianqian hadn't been able to react when Lin Tian made his move.
By the time she realized what was happening, Jie Jun had already been stabbed twice by Lin Tian.
"What, you think issues like this can be settled peacefully? If I don't show him who's boss, will you ever feel safe being a teacher?"
Lin Tian was unconcerned, the incidents involving Li Guan and Zhang Wenbin had deeply affected him.
He felt you couldn't show mercy to such people.
"Why be so fierce?"
He Qianqian didn't understand why Lin Tian was being so harsh today. She had been stressed enough by Jie Jun these past few days, and now Lin Tian was speaking harshly to her as well.
"I wasn't being fierce, I was just trying to reason with you. You've seen what Jie Jun is like. I stabbed him twice, and he didn't even frown. He's capable of anything."
"You're right, okay? I was wrong. I'm leaving."
Lin Tian was so wrapped up in himself he forgot a cardinal rule: never try to reason with a woman.
Seeing that Lin Tian wasn't listening to her, He Qianqian stopped talking and turned to leave.
Lin Tian quickly followed after her. Without He Qianqian, he'd be sleeping alone tonight.
"Qianqian, my dear wife, why are you upset? Don't go."
Instead of stopping when she heard him, He Qianqian walked even faster.
Lin Tian hurriedly chased after her and embraced He Qianqian.
"What are you doing? Who do you think you are? Stop messing around."
He Qianqian pushed Lin Tian away, pretending not to recognize him.
"Naughty boy, that's enough. There are too many people around."
Lin Tian, of course, got the message and carried He Qianqian straight into a hotel to check in.
On the outskirts of Wu'an, there was a sprawling estate.
Underground at the estate, a unique duel was taking place.
Nobody knew that beneath the estate there was such an expansive space, resembling a boxing arena. Spectators filled the seats on all sides, and the central area, surrounded by wire mesh, was where two individuals were fighting.
Both fighters were brutally aggressive, their faces fierce.
Soon, one of them, having received several heavy blows, started falling behind.
The other seized the opportunity to chase his advantage. The losing fighter, now with virtually no chance, began scrambling around, but he couldn't escape—the wire mesh was all around him.
Eventually, he was beaten to death by his opponent.
"Nice!"
"Awesome!"
A roar of applause like a tsunami came from the surrounding crowd.
This was the underground fighting ring, where every fight was a battle to the death. However, most people weren't there to watch the fights; they were there to gamble on the outcomes.
Most believed that only in a fight to the death could the truth emerge, minimizing the chance of cheating.
The winners celebrated jubilantly, chanting the name of the victor.
Jie Jun sat in a room with a glum expression.
"Brother Jun, who did this? Just tell the brothers, we'll go and smash him into pieces."

"No need, this is my own business. It's a matter between men. Did you get the person I asked you to buy from the Siberian Training Camp?"
"Brother Jun, Black Wolf's price is too high. How about we switch to someone else?" the chubby man said, his face changing, obviously troubled.
"You must get me Black Wolf, and he has to be in Wu'an within three days," Jie Jun said in a low voice.
Upon hearing this, the chubby man immediately nodded.
"Yes, Brother Jun. I will definitely take care of it."
"Also, make an announcement that someone wants to challenge Black Wolf. Charge a higher price for the tickets. Also, prepare a hundred guns for me, and a hundred men. Get it done within three days as well."
"Yes, Brother Jun."
After arranging everything, the chubby man left. A woman in a white coat pushed the door and entered.
"Brother Jun, your wound shouldn't undergo strenuous exercise."
"Shouldn't, means it still can be done. Cut the crap and come over here."
"Lin Tian, you're really going?"
On the street, Lin Tian was out shopping with He Qianqian. He had just received a call from Jie Jun, asking him to meet the next day.
He Qianqian was worried Jie Jun might have some scheme up his sleeve and expressed her concerns to Lin Tian with apprehension.
"Of course I'm going. How can I be at ease leaving you here as a teacher if I don't deal with this guy?"
"I always feel that there's more to Jie Jun. Previously, a teacher at our school, after confronting Jie Jun for pestering me, ended up in the hospital the next day with broken legs. After being discharged, he moved away. I've heard that Jie Jun has extensive influence."
"So what if he has great influence? If someone dares to trouble Lin Tian's woman, I must teach him a lesson."
Lin Tian had a plan in mind to put an end to Jie Jun and his cronies for good.
He had already been in touch with Chen Yixuan a couple of days ago.
This Jie Jun had a file in the police station. It seemed he was an important figure in an underground force. The police had been letting it slide, not taking action in hopes of drawing out the person behind the scenes. However, the outcome wasn't very good, and recently they had also intended to take down Jie Jun.
This was the perfect time for Lin Tian, who sought out Chen Yixuan, and they hit it off right away.
Lin Tian transformed overnight into an informant for the police force. Chen Yixuan even gave Lin Tian a mission.
To find the Bai Family's missing daughter, who was kidnapped by this underground force.
The Bai Family was another major dynasty in Capital City, and their daughter had been kidnapped by this group.
That's what made the police decide to move against Jie Jun.
After comforting He Qianqian, Lin Tian secretly met with Chen Yixuan.
"Lin Tian, Jie Jun has already started taking action. He's mobilized a lot of his underlings. I estimate he's already prepared a trap for you."
"Don't worry. With Jie Jun alone, he won't stand a chance to harm me," Lin Tian said with confidence. Chen Yixuan also had a certain level of faith in Lin Tian. This time she sought him out, actually to get Lin Tian to try his best to find Ms. Bai.
Chen Yixuan handed a photo to Lin Tian. Taking it, he glanced at it and noticed that this heiress of the Bai Family was indeed very beautiful.
"If I see her, I'll definitely be able to get her out."
"It's not about seeing her, you have to go look for her. Lin Tian, you may not realize the importance of this matter. We've been watching Jie Jun for a long time. We suspect he's connected to a certain criminal gang. If it wasn't for the Bai Family getting involved this time, we would've waited a bit longer before making a move on him."
Upon hearing this, Lin Tian knew that Chen Yixuan was probably just passing on a message.
He couldn't understand these upper echelons, who were willing to tolerate the criminals right in front of them for the sake of catching the ones behind the scenes.
"You people, failing to remove evil when it's in your grasp, I just don't get how you think."
"I didn't understand it before either, but now I get it a little. People like Jie Jun, you kill ten of them and twenty more will pop up. Only by finding the people behind them can this issue be truly resolved."
Chen Yixuan's words gave Lin Tian some insight, but he didn't need to rack his brain over these issues.
"Alright, but this time around, my main goal is to take care of Jie Jun. As for Bai Xiaoluo, if I see her, I'll bring her out. If I don't, there's nothing I can do."
"Lin Tian, why can't you understand? You've already offended the Li Family, and here's such a good opportunity. Why don't you grasp it?"
Chen Yixuan gave Lin Tian a stern look, which he found a little confusing.
How was this matter related to the Li Family again?
"What opportunity?"
"The Bai Family's strength is nearly equal to the Li Family's. If you establish a connection with the Bai Family this time, the Li Family will have to think twice before making a move on you."
After Chen Yixuan finished explaining, Lin Tian realized she meant for him to save Bai Xiaoluo and then establish good relations with the Bai Family.
This was indeed a good idea; those powerful dynasties were deeply rooted and would probably not act personally against Lin Tian.
"Well then, I'll do my best to look for her. But I can't guarantee I'll find her, as my main objective is still to deal with Jie Jun."
Chen Yixuan was satisfied with Lin Tian's reply. Clearly, he had taken the matter to heart.
