Top-Tier Superpower Student-Chapter 546 - 518 Ambush

Lin Tian sat under a large tree feeling very wronged, facing He Qianqian with their eyes meeting. Seeing Lin Tian's aggrieved expression, He Qianqian couldn't help but want to laugh. She was now extremely proud; ever since she got to know Lin Tian, he was always the one hitting others, insulting others, and she was the only one who could make Lin Tian eat humble pie.

She was proud, she was boastful.

Soon, Fang Shaoxiong and his brothers returned. Fang Shaoxiong also noticed that Lin Tian had a look of grievance and asked, "Big Brother, what's wrong? Did sister-in-law bully you?"

Being bullied by his own woman was embarrassing, but Lin Tian wouldn't admit it; he said, "It's nothing, just feeling hungry and aggrieved because of that."

"Hahaha..." Fang Shaoxiong laughed heartily, then added, "Don't worry, Big Brother, bear with the hunger for a little longer. The roast meat will be ready soon."

It was only a short while that Fang Shaoxiong went out, but the game he caught was ample: a wild boar, two hares, three pheasants, and he even caught over a dozen frogs—definitely a skilled hunter.

Setting up the fire, butchering the meat, skewering, barbecuing—it all happened almost in one breath. In the blink of an eye, the meat on the skewers was sizzling, oozing oil, and emitting a fragrant aroma that could waft over a mile away.

With that smell, Lin Tian felt even hungrier. Luckily, Fang Shaoxiong timely roasted a pig's leg, which Lin Tian and He Qianqian shared.

Lin Tian had read Jiang Rong's "Wolf Totem" and was extremely envious of the outdoor meat roasting scenes in the wild. Lin Tian never dreamed that he too would have such a day—to kill, roast, and eat right on the spot!

Just thinking about it, Lin Tian found it delicious!

He took out a spring knife, sliced off the outer layer of roasted meat, cutting a slice, eating a slice.

"Delicious, add some more salt," He Qianqian directed from the side, no longer looking like a goddess but a little foodie instead.

Lin Tian sprinkled a layer of salt on the pig's leg and quickly finished off the last layer of roast meat.

He put it back over the fire, continuing to roast and eat, with each bite more delicious than the last. There was only one word to describe it.

"Awesome!"

...,....

After feasting, as it was nearing dark, they simply decided not to go back and set up camp on the mountaintop to have a good sleep. Lin Tian wholly agreed; this way, he could experience the thrill of "camping" in the wild.

Lin Tian and He Qianqian naturally shared one tent, and throughout the night, there was never a quiet moment in the tent. Lin Tian was exhausted as he tormented He Qianqian to the point of collapse.

Lin Tian and He Qianqian were the last to wake up. Stepping out of the tent, they saw Fang Shaoxiong setting up branches, getting ready to roast meat again.

"Big Brother, you must've been exhausted last night, waking up so late—it's already nine," Fang Shaoxiong teased.

"I'm feeling okay," Lin Tian said with a grin.

He Qianqian behind him was almost dying of embarrassment, pinching Lin Tian hard.

By twelve noon, everyone had their fill of food and drink, and then they headed down the mountain.

Subsequently, Fang Shaoxiong took Lin Tian to all the fun places in Yunhai. Lin Tian, rarely having time like this, played to his heart's content and was very happy.

The next morning, Lin Tian received a call from Li Qing.

It must be news about the contract; Lin Tian thought to himself and cheerfully answered the call.

"Hello, Chairman Li? How's the contract coming along? Tomorrow is the last day," Lin Tian's tone carried an implicit threat.

"Hehe, President Lin, rest assured, I will get it done, as you've entrusted me to. I've already got the board's approval and decided to give you the lowest price, seventy thousand per pound. Let's meet tomorrow morning at nine at the mountainside behind Qianling Company," Li Qing's amiable voice came through the phone.

"Mountainside." Lin Tian was a bit puzzled, half-jokingly said, "President Li, you're not pulling my leg, are you? Your company's mountainside, isn't that a godforsaken place? To my knowledge, Qianling Company's mountainside is nothing but deep woods and old forests!"

Li Qing replied, "President Lin is correct, the mountainside is a deep forest, but this is a necessary step we must take. We have samples of Lingzhi in the mountains, and for a big partner like you, I must allow you to inspect the goods. Actually, you'll just be taking a look around, but it's a procedure set by the board, and it must be followed."

Lin Tian inexplicably heard a sense of danger in Li Qing's tone. He didn't know how he picked up on it, for there wasn't a hint of a problem or a flaw in Li Qing's words. Perhaps it was the very lack of any loopholes that made him feel an ominous danger.

No danger is the biggest danger.

Despite this feeling, Lin Tian still agreed, saying, "Alright, I will definitely be there by nine tomorrow morning."

Lin Tian hung up the phone with uneasy thoughts.

Fang Shaoxiong noticed something off and asked, "Big Brother, what's wrong? Is there something not right?"

Lin Tian said, "Nothing's wrong. It's just that Li Qing wants me to take a trip to the mountainside tomorrow. Nothing else."

"Mountainside?" Fang Shaoxiong said, "The mountainside is deep woods and old forests; what does Li Qing want with you going there? Could it be an ambush? How about I go with you?"

"No, perhaps we're overthinking it. It's just Qianling Company's procedure. But we can't be careless. Here's what we'll do: tomorrow, you bring the brothers and the war vehicle, park at the edge of the mountainside, ready to come and support me at the first sign of trouble."

"Yes," Fang Shaoxiong nodded in agreement.

In the afternoon, Lin Tian took He Qianqian back to her parents' home. The next morning at nine, Lin Tian arrived at Qianling Company as agreed.

Li Qing had been waiting at the doorstep since early on, and when he saw Lin Tian, he hurried over to greet him, "President Lin, you're really punctual!"

Lin Tian nodded, using his eyes to scan the surroundings, but he did not notice anything unusual. It was still the same as usual.

Li Qing said, "Shall we go to the back mountain then?"

Li Qing led the way with Lin Tian closely following, making their way to the back mountain together.

Lin Tian looked at the path underfoot, covered with thick moss, and deliberately asked, "Do you bring every client who comes here to pick up their goods to the back mountain to see a sample?"

Li Qing replied, "No, generally speaking, we don't bring clients who purchase less than one thousand catties. Lingzhi isn't cheap, and clients who can buy one thousand catties at a time are rare, so not many people tread this back mountain in a year."

After hearing this, Lin Tian relaxed; the thick growth of the moss proved that few people passed through here, confirming that Li Qing wasn't lying.

About a kilometer deep into the back mountain, Li Qing found a Lingzhi under a tree; it was small and tender. Li Qing carefully picked it up with tweezers.

"President Lin, take a look, does this meet the requirements for your purchase?" Li Qing presented the tweezers to Lin Tian.

Lin Tian, who had no understanding of Lingzhi, casually said, "It meets them."

Li Qing continued, "President Lin, please wait here, I'll go get a few samples for you, and then we can go back and sign the contract."

After speaking, Li Qing didn't wait for Lin Tian to reply and walked away to one side.

"President Li, why bother doing such things personally? Just have your subordinates take care of it."

Li Qing completely ignored Lin Tian's words and quickened his pace, eventually breaking into a jog.

"Not good!"

Lin Tian mentally exclaimed, realizing he had let his guard down and allowed Li Qing to run off.

"Swoosh swoosh swoosh...!"

From all around, countless whizzing sounds could be heard as a volley of crossbow arrows was launched. With the whistling sound of rending air, they were shot toward Lin Tian.

Lin Tian activated his Neural Response Speed Ability, his body turning into a shadow as he swiftly dodged; the crossbow arrows barely missed him, grazing past his body. He picked up a stick from the ground and knocked down the incoming arrows that he couldn't evade. Then, with a burst of Heavenly Dao might and quick reflexes, he caught a crossbow arrow with two fingers and, with a loud shout, shot it back.

In the depths of the forest, a scream rang out as an assassin collapsed to the ground, not knowing what had happened before Lin Tian ended his life with a single arrow.

"Clap clap clap...!"

Following that, the sound of someone clapping hands resounded.

It was Liang Dong.

As Liang Dong walked forward, dense crowds emerged from four directions. They were all armed with weapons, their eyes gleaming with sharpness. They were experts, and each emitted a fearsome aura, most of them having taken lives with their own hands.

Lin Tian truly hadn't expected that the person setting an ambush for him here was Liang Dong. Without Liang Dong backing Li Qing, even if he had ten times the courage, he wouldn't dare lay a hand on Lin Tian.

Liang Dong spoke in a mocking tone, "President Lin, what impressive skills you have, not only in business but also in combat. I am impressed."

"There are many who admire me. Who do you think you are?" Lin Tian said indifferently.

Li Qing suddenly appeared from somewhere, hiding beside Liang Dong, and shouted, "Lin Tian, this day next year will be your death anniversary. I have no grudge with you, yet you tried to kill me. Your death today is all of your own making."

Lin Tian looked at Li Qing and clenched his fist. If Li Qing hadn't brought him here, he wouldn't have been ambushed.

Lin Tian spoke, "Li Qing, if I were you, I'd just hide quietly on the side and not come out. Do you dare to appear before my eyes again? Do you think you've lived too long?"

"Hahaha...!"

Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, everyone burst into laughter, looking at Lin Tian as one would a performing clown.

Li Qing replied nonchalantly, "Lin Tian, who do you think you are? I'm afraid of you out there, but take a look at the people surrounding you—there are at least five hundred of them, each a formidable person. You are now trapped like a turtle in a jar, and yet you dare to be so insolent. Even if I think I've lived too long, what can you do to me? Come and kill me, come on, kill me!"

"Hahaha..."

The heartless laughter rang out again, with no one believing that Lin Tian could kill Li Qing while surrounded.

Lin Tian said, "Alright, I'll grant you that wish."

He made his move swiftly, heading straight for Li Qing.

Several assassins charged forward, but Lin Tian feinted a punch and his body quickly moved to the left. Then, a spring knife flew from among the assassins, whirling through the air.

It hit the mark perfectly, striking right in the center of Li Qing's forehead.
