Chapter 893 - 889: Xiang Yiting’s Recommendation
With this righteous shout, more than ten people on the opposite side rushed forward again, targeting both Xiao Tian and Xiang Yiting for their attack.However, this time, with Xiang Yiting present, Xiao Tian evidently could no longer use the old trick of finding a scapegoat. He could only take on the punches and kicks falling from behind, head-on.
Xiang Yiting was stunned, never expecting the situation to suddenly evolve like this. However, before she could react, the sound of police sirens came from afar, and Xiao Tian timely spat out a mouthful of blood...
...
When the two of them walked out of the police station once again, dawn was already breaking. Both had panda eyes and were yawning continuously.
Although the situation could be described as thrilling but not dangerous, Xiang Yiting still expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, once again, for saving me!"
Xiao Tian didn’t seem to care much about this. The punches that seemed to land hard were, at best, petty blows to him, not even worth mentioning when it came to injuries.
As for spitting blood, it was just to avoid raising suspicion!
What really puzzled him was Xiang Yiting. Knowing clearly that those people were after her, and she wasn’t even in the hotel at that time, why did she insist on walking into the gunfire?!
This irrational behavior left him perplexed.
However, before he could ask Xiang Yiting, he heard her say casually, "Even though I didn’t get to enjoy the supper you promised last night, considering you’re hurt, let’s just say I did."
"Come on, let me treat you to breakfast!"
Hearing this half-joking remark, Xiao Tian stopped in his tracks, puzzled, and asked, "What did you just say?"
"Let me treat you to breakfast." Xiang Yiting blinked, looking at Xiao Tian strangely, wondering if he was experiencing some side effects.
But Xiao Tian urgently said, "Not that. What did you say before that?"
"I said I didn’t get to eat the supper you promised last night, but since you’re hurt, let’s say I did." After finishing, Xiang Yiting explained, "I was joking, don’t mind it!"
Xiao Tian’s face turned grim in an instant. If it was as Xiang Yiting said, it would mean his movements were already exposed.
Last night, Xiao Tian hadn’t even managed to get through to Xiang Yiting by phone, so how could he have invited her to supper as she said?!
Naturally, Xiao Tian thought of that Mysterious Man who had tried to attack him multiple times in the dark, like a shadow he couldn’t shake off, watching his every move.
It was like the last time Ghost Face was in danger; looking back, Xiao Tian felt that the mysterious attacker wasn’t primarily aiming to kill Ghost Face, but rather seemed to be flaunting.
From obtaining the Megrez Stone to seeking the Shaking Light Disc, Xiao Tian felt like a transparent person; no matter how he hid or concealed himself, any slight abnormality revealed his intentions.
This feeling was undoubtedly disgusting, and until the person hiding in the shadows was exposed, Xiao Tian couldn’t find peace.
Moreover, he had reason to believe that if the person hiding behind the scenes wasn’t quickly uncovered, similar events would only increase in frequency.
This time it was just Ghost Face, but if there were more, and even Lin Bingxuan, Yu Ningxue, and Melinda were in danger simultaneously, requiring him to go to different places to rescue them, who would Xiao Tian save first in such a situation?!
These questions didn’t allow Xiao Tian to delve deeper into thinking, as he soon felt a throbbing pain at his temples. However, he couldn’t escape because these were matters he had to face.
If he thought about it carefully, from his last trip to Kunlun to this journey to Japan, all were impromptu decisions. Moreover, Xiao Tian used a completely new identity in disguise.
If even with this, the Mysterious Man still knew, then the matter was far from simple.
Suddenly, Xiao Tian recalled the letter from the Mysterious Man he first received on a plane, translated by Ghost Face.
The letter contained a warning about being cautious of people around him, who might be quietly replaced at any moment...
Thinking of this made Xiao Tian feel a thunderous turmoil in his mind, his thoughts as chaotic as a pot of paste.
Beside him, seeing the complex expression in Xiao Tian’s eyes, Xiang Yiting gently nudged him, cautiously asking, "You aren’t really angry, are you?"
Xiang Yiting’s question pulled Xiao Tian out of his chaotic thoughts. He pondered for a while but didn’t disclose that he hadn’t invited her for supper the previous night, so he just shook his head and continued walking.
On the way, Xiao Tian’s silence made Xiang Yiting feel uncomfortable. Thus, she tried to make conversation, asking, "Is your main purpose for coming to Japan just for travel this time?"
Feeling somewhat restless, Xiao Tian replied, "Not entirely."
"Then what specifically?" Xiang Yiting added, "Don’t get me wrong, I just feel you have something on your mind. If you talk about it, maybe I can help."
After a long pause and still not receiving a response, Xiang Yiting advised again, "Even if I can’t help, talking about it might at least make you feel better, right? After all, having someone to share it with is better than keeping it all to yourself."
After pondering for a long time, Xiao Tian finally said, "I’m here mainly to help a friend of mine."
"Help a friend?" Xiang Yiting frowned, "Is your friend in Japan?"
"Back home." Since the conversation reached this point, Xiao Tian decided to speak the truth, "He was poisoned, so I’m trying my luck to see if I can find an antidote."
After speaking half-truthfully, Xiao Tian inwardly let out a bitter laugh, as it didn’t seem to make him feel any better, contrary to what Xiang Yiting had suggested.
However, his companion beside him asked again, "Is it some kind of chemical poison?"
This question genuinely stumped Xiao Tian. Something like gas poisoning could generally be classified as chemical poisoning, but Ghost Face’s poisoning left him unsure where to categorize it specifically.
But Ghost Face got poisoned due to the fake Shaking Light Disc exploding unexpectedly, leading to a coma. In a broad sense, it could be considered chemical poisoning.
After some contemplation, Xiao Tian said, "Probably, but even the hospital couldn’t give a clear answer."
In the next moment, Xiang Yiting’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she said, "I happen to know an expert in this area. Would you like an introduction?"
"No, thank you!"
Xiao Tian shook his head with a smile; he never trusted so-called experts. In fact, those so-called experts might not even be as professional as he was.
In Xiao Tian’s view, most so-called experts were simply people who had taken a few classes, possessing some capability, then using seemingly impressive titles to stand their ground in third or fourth-tier cities!
However, Xiang Yiting was full of admiration and praised highly, "I forgot to tell you, I studied medicine, and the expert I mentioned is a true expert who has won many international awards!"
