Chapter 36 Killing Two Birds with One Stone

But just as these thugs were about to leave, a righteous voice came from behind them: "What are you doing? In broad daylight, you dregs of society still dare to cause trouble here?"

A figure rushed forward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Before the thugs could even open their mouths, they were knocked to the ground with a few swift punches and kicks.

"Big brother, we didn't do anything!"

"Big brother, you've misunderstood!"

"Ouch! Stop hitting us!"

The person who arrived was none other than Lin Tian.

After knocking the thugs to the ground and giving them a good thrashing, he sneered, "Didn't do anything? You indeed haven't done anything yet, but that's only because I arrived in time to stop you!"

After saying this.

Lin Tian turned around in what he thought was a cool manner and looked at Xiao Xuaner behind him. "Miss, you..."

When he saw Xiao Xuaner's face clearly, his voice stopped abruptly, and a look of surprise appeared on his face. "Xiao Xuaner? It's actually you? What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here."

Xiao Xuaner had already known all of this, so she wasn't surprised by Lin Tian's appearance at all. She said, "So it's you, Lin Tian. Let them go. They really didn't do anything to me; you've misunderstood them."

Lin Tian immediately looked embarrassed. He turned to the group of thugs lying on the ground and barked, "Scram! If there's a next time, don't blame me for crippling you!"

"Yes, yes, yes!"

"We're leaving right now!"

The group of thugs fled in a panic, looking utterly dejected.

They were also secretly complaining in their hearts. They had originally just intended to tease Xiao Xuaner.

But who could have guessed they would run into such a tough character?

Lin Tian had originally thought that by appearing in time to rescue Xiao Xuaner, she would be very excited once she discovered his true identity.

But the result?

Things seemed completely different from what he had envisioned!

Xiao Xuaner didn't show the slightest hint of excitement; in fact, no emotional fluctuation could be seen on her face at all.

What was going on?

However, seeing Xiao Xuaner being as cold as ever only ignited a sense of conquest in Lin Tian.

"Xuaner, it's been so many years. Would you like to go for a cup of coffee?" Lin Tian said with a smile.

Xiao Xuaner was about to refuse.

But then she thought of Jiang Chenfeng's inner thoughts.

Would the guy in front of her also take out a Formula to help her?

If that were the case, she actually felt a bit of interest. She nodded and said, "Sure."

The two headed straight to the coffee shop across the street and found a seat by the window.

They casually ordered some snacks and two cups of coffee.

Although Lin Tian had also worked as a Bodyguard for the Liu Group, his time there had been too short.

During his time as a personal Bodyguard, Lin Tian had never had the chance to meet Xiao Xuaner, the Company Director.

"Xuaner, which company do you work for?" Lin Tian asked.

"Liu Group."

"Oh? That's quite a coincidence. I also worked at the Liu Group, though it was for a very short time."

"Yes, I heard President Liu mention you. She said you were insubordinate and wouldn't even listen to her orders, so she fired you!" Xiao Xuaner said indifferently.

Lin Tian immediately looked embarrassed and coughed lightly. "Ahem... that wasn't the only reason. That day I heard news that that bastard Jiang Chenfeng had gotten President Liu drunk and taken her to a hotel suite."

"As President Liu's personal Bodyguard, I naturally had to take responsibility, so I went to the hotel immediately to save her. But when I burst in, I realized things weren't as I thought. I was just hot-headed at the time and wanted to stand up for President Liu by crippling that guy named Jiang..."

Xiao Xuaner said coldly, "President Liu had clearly explained the situation and told you not to lay a hand on Jiang Chenfeng, yet you still stubbornly wanted to cripple him. It's no wonder President Liu fired you for that."

Lin Tian took a deep breath and said, "Xuaner, I did it for President Liu! That Jiang Chenfeng is no good; he's already notorious in Yun Province. If he got President Liu drunk and took her to that room, I absolutely wouldn't believe he didn't have ulterior motives."

No good?

Xiao Xuaner disagreed in her heart.

If this had been in the past, she certainly would have agreed.

But now it was different!

After interacting with Jiang Chenfeng personally, Xiao Xuaner had come to understand his character.

This guy wasn't nearly as bad as the rumors suggested!

On the contrary, this Lin Tian in front of her seemed to have something wrong with his head, unable to distinguish right from wrong.

Not to mention other things.

Just take those thugs earlier; they were already planning to leave, yet Lin Tian still gave them a severe beating.

It was only because Lin Tian was helping her from a position of justice that she found it hard to say much.

Presumably, in the hotel suite that day, Jiang Chenfeng must have taken the drunk Liu Xinlan there to rest.

But Lin Tian misunderstood Jiang Chenfeng's intentions and desperately wanted to cripple him.

Xiao Xuaner didn't have any ill will toward Lin Tian, but she couldn't bring herself to like him either.

"I heard your Liu Group has encountered some difficulties recently and urgently needs a new product to resolve the crisis?"

Lin Tian gave a slight smile and continued, "I happen to have a Formula here with beauty and skin-rejuvenating effects. It should be able to help the Liu Group out of its predicament!"

Before he could even take out the Formula.

He was rejected by Xiao Xuaner raising her hand. "No need! I don't need it!"

Since everything was developing according to Jiang Chenfeng's inner thoughts, she didn't bother to say more to Lin Tian.

A Formula?

She had already obtained a Formula!

"Why?"

Lin Tian was slightly stunned.

He never expected that after helping Xiao Xuaner and offering such a priceless Formula, he would be rejected.

"Because our company has already found a solution, so we don't need any other assistance!"

The reason Xiao Xuaner rejected Lin Tian without hesitation was that she didn't want to follow the plot.

Because if the plot followed its course, it would mean she would become Lin Tian's woman!

This was something she could not accept.

"Xuaner, you really don't need to be so polite with me. The Formula I'm offering will definitely allow the Liu Group to make a fortune!"

Lin Tian still wanted to push further, having absolute confidence in his Formula.

Even though he had left the Liu Group, he still kept an eye on its every move.

He knew the Liu Group had recently fallen into difficulties and needed a new product to turn the tide.

As long as this Formula reached Liu Xinlan's hands, he believed she would definitely be moved to tears of gratitude.

And if this Formula proved useful, the Xiao Xuaner in front of him would also look at him in a new light.

This was truly a case of killing two birds with one stone!
