Top-Tier Superpower Student

Bu Mengting was still sound asleep, so Lin Tian didn't wake her up and went downstairs to buy her breakfast.

By the time he returned, Bu Mengting was washing up. Lin Tian said, "Hurry up and eat. After breakfast, we'll go out together."

"Go out for what?" Bu Mengting asked.

"To meet a few of my good brothers."

After a quick breakfast, Lin Tian led Bu Mengting straight to Autumn Sadness Villa, the address he had left for Chen Lihui the day before, believing that he would definitely come.

As soon as they reached Autumn Sadness Villa, Lin Tian saw Chen Lihui's figure. He had arrived quite early; it seemed he must have been waiting for some time.

Lin Tian had the driver pull up next to Chen Lihui and said, "I knew you'd come. Get in the car, I'll take you to meet some people."

Chen Lihui got in, and the three of them drove to a five-star hotel together.

"Jiang Hui, Wang Ying, hurry and open the door, it's me," Lin Tian called out as he knocked on the door.

Wang Ying opened the door, greeted Lin Tian as 'big brother', and then asked, "Who are these two...?"

"Oh, this is my girlfriend, also your sister-in-law, named Bu Mengting. This is Chen Lihui, he's my brother, and will be yours as well," Lin Tian introduced.

Wang Ying nodded happily and welcomed Lin Tian and his company inside.

Then the five of them went to the Western restaurant and had a big meal.

During the meal, Lin Tian asked Chen Lihui, "How's the generic version of the healing potion coming along? How long until it can officially enter the market?"

Chen Lihui replied, "The development is in its final stages. To officially hit the market, we still need some startup capital and patent certification."

Lin Tian casually took out a bank card and said, "There are ten billion in this card, consider it your startup capital. You can use the money however you want. I only have one requirement, that your healing potion enters the market as soon as possible."

"No, no, no..." Chen Lihui quickly shook his head, "Ten billion is too much; we don't need that much money."

Lin Tian forced the bank card into his hand, saying, "I plan to use your healing potion as the lead to establish the world's largest pharmaceutical industry chain. Remember, the largest in the world. A mere ten billion, I'm afraid that might not even be enough, use this first, if it's not enough, ask me for more."

Lin Tian had long been determined to build his own power, and this was only the first step. He believed that if Chen Lihui's healing potion could really be produced on a large scale, with its miraculous healing effects, it could take the world by storm. When he spoke of building the world's largest pharmaceutical industry chain, he wasn't just dreaming.

From Lin Tian's words, everyone could see his ambition. Chen Lihui, with trembling hands, accepted the bank card worth ten billion and nodded, "Don't worry, I will do my best."

After the meal, the group arrived at a secluded mid-range hotel to lay low for a few days since the enemy was lurking in the shadows, and it was better to be cautious.

In the afternoon, Lin Tian's phone rang. It was Shen Yiran.

Lin Tian wondered if the young girl was missing him, feeling lonely and looking to recount old times.

He answered the phone with shameless glee, "Little beauty, do you miss me? Want me to come to Tianchuan City to see you? But I'm quite busy lately, with no time on my hands. If you could send me a seductive picture, I might consider it."

"Wuuu wuuu wuuu..."

The voice on the phone was no longer Shen Yiran's playful voice, but heart-wrenching sobs instead.

"Yiran, what's wrong?" Lin Tian asked in alarm, no longer in the mood to tease.

"Lin Tian, please help my sister, wuuu wuu..."

"What happened to your sister?"

"After you left, the Wang Family came to our house to press for marriage, putting pressure on my father, and he agreed to the Wang Family's demands. Now they're all pressuring my sister into marriage, my sister is heartbroken, I'm afraid if this continues, she might do something foolish. Please come quickly, come help my sister..."

"Okay, don't panic. I'll call you when I get to Tianchuan City. I am leaving right now."

Lin Tian hung up the phone, as anxious as an ant on a hot pot.

He knew Shen Mengyi; while outwardly fragile, she was incredibly stubborn. If really pushed hard, she might indeed do something foolish.

There was no time to waste. He had to rescue her immediately. Any delay could cost a life!

To save Shen Mengyi, there would inevitably be a conflict with the Wang Family, and perhaps they were already lying in wait for him. Lin Tian couldn't go there alone, but there were enemies in Wu'an City too, and he was a little worried about leaving Bu Mengting there alone.

After careful thought, Lin Tian decided to take Wang Ying with him and leave Jiang Hui to protect Bu Mengting. He told Bu Mengting not to go to school for the next few days and to stay at the hotel without leaving; Jiang Hui must stay by her side to protect her at all times.

Lin Tian and Wang Ying rushed down to the lobby, where they saw a taxi. Lin Tian shouted loudly, "Quick, get me to Tianchuan City as fast as possible."

The driver was taken aback and immediately a smile spread across his lips—a long-distance fare like this could earn him a good amount of money.

"Driver, please hurry up, even faster, I'll pay you extra," Lin Tian urged.

"Faster."

"Even faster!"

..., ....

After less than ten minutes and more than twenty urgings from Lin Tian, the driver was annoyed and retorted, "This taxi is neither a Mercedes nor a Rolls-Royce; it's just a normal Xiali. This is already the fastest possible. The engine is practically smoking. If I go any faster, the car might just take flight."

"Fly!" The driver's comment reminded Lin Tian—why not fly? No matter how fast the car could go, it couldn't beat a plane.

He checked online and found that the soonest flight to Tianchuan City would also take four hours, and Lin Tian couldn't wait.

He asked, "Do you know who has a private jet in Wu'an City?"

The question dumbfounded the driver. He looked at Lin Tian, who didn't appear to be a wealthy person. Wishing to take a private jet to Tianchuan City? Wasn't that just daydreaming?

The driver said sarcastically, "I'm just a poor commoner. I don't know any tycoons with private jets. I have no idea who has one."

Ignoring the driver's sarcasm, Lin Tian realized that in crucial moments, one must consult Baidu.

A Baidu search revealed that there indeed was a private jet in Wu'an City, belonging to the reclusive rich man Zhang Shuo. Zhang Shuo was a real estate magnate, albeit low-profile, and it was Lin Tian's first time hearing about him.

Zhang Shuo's family had an estate called Tianxing Manor on the outskirts of Wu'an City, and Lin Tian hurriedly directed the driver there.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Tian arrived at Tianxing Manor only to find the place buzzing with activity and filled with a cacophony of noise. Everyone was in a panic, and the normally harmonious and peaceful atmosphere of the estate was nowhere to be found. It was more akin to a bustling market!

Lin Tian, accompanied by Wang Ying, rushed into the chaos. With no security guards in sight at such a large estate, Lin Tian strode in unchallenged.

He encountered a person dressed like a maid and asked, "Hello, I'm looking for Mr. Zhang Shuo."

Frightened, the maid responded, "You're not from the estate; you should leave quickly. Today we've been invaded by robbers; they're shooting people. Master Zhang has been taken off to heaven; just run!" She then scampered off.

Robbers? Lin Tian was astonished. In peaceful times, robbers were a rarity, and on the very day he was in a hurry, he had to encounter them.

No use complaining about one's fate!

Despite the complaining, Lin Tian still led Wang Ying deeper into the estate.

Upon crossing a long corridor, Lin Tian was shocked. A plane circled in the sky, and below it, a dozen masked robbers were holding several people hostage. Estate security personnel were all killed, and two servants also lay in pools of blood.

At that moment, the robbers' leader poked his head out of the plane, holding a megaphone and shouted, "I'm giving you ten more minutes. Within ten minutes, I want fifty million. It doesn't all have to be in cash; gold, silver, jewelry, antiques, paintings—any valuables will do. If what you bring out isn't worth fifty million, everyone here dies."

Only after asking around did Lin Tian learn that the group of robbers had kidnapped Zhang Shuo and hijacked his plane. Now they were demanding fifty million, and without the money, they would kill people.

Through inquiries, Lin Tian found two people in charge—one named Zhang He, Zhang Shuo's brother, and another named Zhang Yue, Zhang Shuo's son.

The two of them were busily instructing others to pack up the valuables for the robbers. Approaching them, Lin Tian got straight to the point, "Let's make a deal. I'll help you repel the robbers and save Mr. Zhang, and in return, I get to use your plane."

Looking about fifteen or sixteen, Zhang Yue's immature mind saw a savior in Lin Tian's words and exclaimed, "If you can really save my father, not only can you use the plane, but you can also have it."

"Zhang Yue, don't be rash," Zhang He interjected, his thoughts more mature than Zhang Yue's. He bluntly said, "Who are you? Why should I trust you? Just the two of you, unarmed, against a dozen well-armed robbers?"

"Yes," a housekeeper-like figure chimed in, "It's good to be passionate, young man, but you should also assess the situation. All of our well-trained security guards were killed by them. Are you not from the estate? You better run!"

Lin Tian responded, "Whether I can save the people is my business. You just need to answer whether you agree to the deal I just proposed."

"I don't agree. I don't believe you can save my brother. If your attempt fails and angers the robbers, even if you two die, it doesn't matter, but we can't afford to be implicated. Fifty million is a sum the Zhang family can afford. We won't risk our lives for it."

Zhang He seemed intent on appeasing the robbers with money, but he was unaware that the group had already killed numerous people and would not hesitate to kill more. Even if the money was paid, the entire estate could still be wiped out—after all, dead men tell no tales.

Tiring of the conversation with Zhang He, Lin Tian said to Wang Ying, "Let's go and save them."
