"No, I haven’t even had dinner yet. How can you expect me to run like a horse without letting me graze? Hurry up and let’s find a place to grab a bite."
Lin Tian certainly hadn’t thought of a method, he was just trying to comfort Chen Yixuan.
A person who is always in a state of anxiety can easily collapse.
"I don’t mind treating you to dinner, but only if you help me catch that Luo Li."
Chen Yixuan felt relieved upon hearing that Lin Tian had a plan.
Just as the two were about to find a restaurant to eat French cuisine, Bu Mengting appeared.
"Lin Tian!"
Hearing this voice, Lin Tian instinctively paused.
Damn, why did Bu Mengting have to show up?
Bu Mengting and He Qianqian had their suspicions about the relationship between Lin Tian and Chen Yixuan already, and now with Bu Mengting witnessing this, things did not look too good.
"Mengting! Perfect timing. Officer Chen Yixuan wanted to thank me for the help I offered last time by treating me to dinner. Why don’t you join us?"
"Sure."
If it were any other day, Bu Mengting might have politely declined, but she definitely needed to keep an eye on Chen Yixuan, the policewoman.
Lin Tian hadn’t expected Bu Mengting to be so proactive today, knowing that usually, he had to be quite cheeky to enjoy this kind of treatment.
"Let’s go, Chen Yixuan."
Lin Tian suddenly felt that being caught by Bu Mengting with Chen Yixuan might not be such a bad thing after all.
But this time, Lin Tian was clearly too naive.
There were restaurants near the school, only a few hundred meters away.
But during such a short distance, Lin Tian was attacked by Bu Mengting more than a hundred times. Almost every step he took let him experience the severe consequences of making a woman jealous.
Lin Tian did not utter a sound, because when the real pain came, a man must endure and not cry out in pain.
At the restaurant, Bu Mengting seemed to have let off enough steam. Or maybe she was afraid Chen Yixuan would notice because she stopped.
Chen Yixuan had already noticed Bu Mengting’s little attacks, but she also had a big problem with Lin Tian. As for the guy who had a habit of taking liberties with her, Chen Yixuan certainly did not have any sympathy, and even deliberately slowed down a few steps.
As soon as they arrived at the restaurant, Chen Yixuan promptly ordered the dishes and then started asking questions.
"Lin Tian, what exactly is your plan? Tell me quickly."
With Bu Mengting by her side, Chen Yixuan felt it was an opportunity.
Lin Tian was at his wit’s end, thinking that he hadn’t actually come up with any plan at all, and it was purely to comfort Chen Yixuan. But now, with Bu Mengting there, if he didn’t speak up, it might lead Bu Mengting to misunderstand that he was deliberately holding back to spend more time with Chen Yixuan.
What a mess today’s event turned out to be.
"That matter is not urgent, we’re here to dine. Let’s eat first and talk later."
"What’s the matter? Lin Tian, Chen Yixuan is treating you to dinner, so stop playing coy and just tell her already."
Bu Mengting sure enough chimed in; she didn’t know the process, but she didn’t want to let Lin Tian and Chen Yixuan have extended contact.
"It’s actually nothing. Mengting, you know about the especially brazen thief recently, right? I was just thinking of having Lin Tian come up with a plan to catch this Luo Li."
"The self-proclaimed God Thief, Luo Li? That thief is so reckless. Lin Tian, share your method with Chen Yixuan, so that scoundrel can’t continue to elude justice."
But at that moment, Lin Tian had a blank look on his face because his system had just given him a prompt.
"Helping Chen Yiran catch Luo Li will reward you with three Supernatural Points. Failure will cost six Supernatural Points."
Does it have to be so harsh? Six points deducted for a failure; he absolutely had to complete this task.
At the same time, Lin Tian realized from the three-point reward that this Luo Li was definitely not an easy target.
"Lin Tian, what are you spacing out for? Didn’t you say you had a way to help Chen Yixuan?"
Bu Mengting saw Lin Tian daydreaming and moved her foot, stepping on him.
"Ouch! Mengting, what are you doing?"
Lin Tian winced from the pain at his feet and came back to his senses.
"Didn’t you have a good plan to help Chen Yixuan catch that thief Luo Li? Spit it out."

"What do you know? This method can’t be said out loud, if I say it, then it won’t work."
Lin Tian made up a lie on the spot, and both Bu Mengting and Chen Yixuan actually believed it.
The various bizarre events that Lin Tian had previously performed were all extraordinary and mysterious.
So, both Bu Mengting and Chen Yixuan trusted Lin Tian deeply.
"In that case, I won’t ask."
Although Bu Mengting felt a little jealous about Lin Tian’s contact with Chen Yixuan, she was still on Lin Tian’s side in her heart.
That was also the main reason why Lin Tian could fall for Bu Mengting, a beauty, yet could not take an interest in Zhang Ya.
"Then how long do you need to catch this Luo Li?"
Bu Mengting might not ask, but Chen Yixuan couldn’t let it go. She was a police officer, and she was very anxious about catching Luo Li.
"I don’t know, but don’t worry, I will definitely catch Luo Li for you."
For the first time, Lin Tian was also a bit worried. If it had been before, he would have confidently proclaimed that it would take no more than three days, or even that he could catch the person that very day.
But this time was different, divination didn’t work on Luo Li, leaving Lin Tian completely without direction.
"Alright then, let’s eat first."
Having received Lin Tian’s response, Chen Yixuan could not press him further.
She was aware of some of Lin Tian’s mysterious methods; otherwise, she wouldn’t have allowed Lin Tian to take his liberties with her on multiple occasions.
The meal was not as comfortable as the night before, as Lin Tian had to pay attention to Bu Mengting’s mood from time to time.
Fortunately, Bu Mengting seemed normal during the meal.
After the meal, it was natural for Chen Yixuan to go back on her own, as Lin Tian had to escort Bu Mengting.
"Mengting, how about you don’t go back to the dorm tonight? What do you say we go to a hotel?"
"You pervert, you big lecher!"
Suddenly, Bu Mengting’s expression changed, and she cursed at Lin Tian.
"What’s wrong, Mengting? How have I provoked you again?"
"Hmph, aren’t you aware of the good deeds you’ve done yourself? Tell me, who did you go to a hotel with last night?"
Last night? My goodness! Lin Tian was suddenly stumped; word of his drinking with Shen Mengyi and her sister had spread so quickly.
It was reasonable to think about it, though, since the place where they drank was close to the school at a barbecue restaurant.
Shen Mengyi was a prominent figure at the school, and Lin Tian had recently been quite the talk of the school, so it was normal for someone to recognize them. Seeing them drink together and head to a hotel, of course, set off a whirlwind of gossip.
"Mengting, don’t you know what kind of person I am? Last night Shen Mengyi and her sister drank too much, and I just helped them to the hotel to get a room. The two sisters slept in one room, what could I possibly do?"
"Don’t lie to me. What difference does it make if they are two sisters? Didn’t you get the better of both Qianqian and me?"
Ah? Lin Tian gasped internally, as Bu Mengting actually brought up that incident.
This luck with women was proving to be difficult to enjoy.
"It’s not the same. There was also a drunk buddy in my dorm then, that chubby guy, Guo Rong; you must remember him. I shared a room with him. We weren’t even in the same room, so nothing could have happened."
"Really?"
Bu Mengting, of course, remembered Guo Rong. Hearing that Lin Tian had shared a room with Guo Rong, she began to believe him a little.
"My little wife Mengting, don’t be too narrow-minded. Do you know why men like women with bigger chests? Because they have room for acceptance. If you don’t have the heart to forgive, you won’t be endearing to others."
"Oh? So that’s how it is. Then I’ll forgive you, but do you really dislike me?"
"No, not at all. I can’t get enough of you. So, my little wife Mengting, about tonight..." Experience new tales on freewebnovel
Lin Tian finally managed to appease Bu Mengting, but still, she shook her head.
"I can’t tonight, I have relatives visiting. I’m not saying more, I’m heading back to the dorm."
After saying that, Bu Mengting ran off.
Lin Tian was stunned for a moment. Relatives visiting? Ah, what bad luck.
With his happiness for the evening gone, Lin Tian felt somewhat dejected.
But then he remembered the task of capturing Luo Li and suddenly had a stroke of inspiration, thinking of a good idea.
Since divination couldn’t yield results about Luo Li, what if he tried divining about Chen Yixuan?
With Chen Yixuan involved in Luo Li’s case, if he could divine some information about her, he might be able to pinpoint Luo Li’s whereabouts.
He immediately set about divining and was shocked by the result.
"Not good, Chen Yixuan is in danger."
After settling the bill and leaving, Chen Yixuan was distracted by thoughts of Luo Li.
She had never encountered such a bold and audacious thief during her time as a police officer. She vowed to catch Luo Li, though she knew it would be difficult on her own, placing her hopes instead in Lin Tian, who was a bit sleazy.
Strangely enough, despite Chen Yixuan’s temperament and her usual treatment of men like Lin Tian with her fists, it was Lin Tian who managed to take advantage of her every time, and Chen Yixuan never considered putting him in his place.
Lost in her thoughts, she wasn’t paying attention to where she was walking.
As a result, she found herself at a construction site without noticing the ’Beware of Heavy Objects’ warning signs.
This building seemed quite old and was scheduled for demolition and reconstruction.
At this time, about half of the building had already been dismantled, and the workers had gone off duty, but there were a few people at the site.
Seeing Chen Yixuan walking onto the site with her head down, the people there immediately tried to come over to stop her.
However, before they could reach her, someone realized something was wrong.
A piece of cement stone hung unsteadily above Chen Yixuan’s head and seemed about to fall.
"Young lady, get out of the way!"
A few people began to shout urgently but dared not approach any closer.
Chen Yixuan, hearing the shouts, started to look around, still unaware that danger had descended upon her.
The cement stone above her head shook further and completely fell off, leaving the onlookers dumbfounded.
"Run! The stone is falling!"
