Chapter 270_1

After ensuring the reliability of the temple for Mr. Feng, Yin Tian led Su Qinwei and the other two girls down the mountain.

Walking on the mountain path, Su Qinwei stretched out her hand and tugged at the hem of Yin Tian’s shirt, "Yin Tian, what did the master mean by what he said to the three of us just now?"

"The Buddha said, ’It cannot be spoken of.’

Yin Tian responded with a mysterious air, not explaining much to Su Qinwei and the others.

Soon, the group of four arrived at the foot of the mountain.

They got into the car and headed towards the provincial city.

"By the way, Yin Tian."

Chen Yu suddenly spoke up, "You had asked my dad to investigate the family that took Nianbing away, but despite pulling many connections, he still hasn’t found a shred of information, only that the family is very secretive."

"That secretive?"

Yin Tian said in surprise. Could it be that not even a sliver of information about that family could be found?

"Not that there’s nothing at all..."

Chen Yu’s face held a tinge of embarrassment, "At least we know where that family is located in the Imperial Capital."

"But I heard that the family has very strict security, ordinary people can’t even get close, and there are many bodyguards on patrol around the clock. The family members are also rarely seen going out. Generally, it’s the maids and such who go out to buy groceries."

"Oh? That’s enough."

Yin Tian said with a relaxed smile on his face, "Thank you."

Knowing their residence was better than arriving in the Imperial Capital blind, not even knowing where to find Xia Nianbing.

Chen Yu’s cheeks turned slightly red.

Being praised by Yin Tian made her feel very happy.

After a while, Chen Yu quietly inquired, "Do you think Nianbing is really okay?"

She was genuinely worried about Xia Nianbing.

Yin Tian, who was driving, was taken aback.

Screech!

Yin Tian stepped on the brakes, bringing the car to a halt on the roadside.

"If you’re worried, I’ll make another call to check up on her," Yin Tian said softly.

"Okay."

Su Qinwei and Chen Yu nodded together.

Seeing this, Yin Tian opened the car door and walked toward the nearby woods.

Yin Tian muttered to himself, took out his phone, and hesitated to dial the number.

After a moment’s hesitation, he finally dialed the phone.

The call rang twice before being quickly picked up.

"Hello! Yin Tian!"

On the other end, Xia Nianbing’s voice was cheerful.

"What are you up to?"

Yin Tian suppressed his thoughts and asked softly.

"Reading a book," Xia Nianbing’s voice came again, "I’m so bored. They won’t let me go out, and they keep me in the room all day long. Luckily, there are a lot of books in the room that I can use to pass the time."

"Why did you think to call me today? Are you finished with everything?"

Listening to Xia Nianbing’s question, Yin Tian just hummed without saying much.

"Be careful there, the provincial city is not like Su Hang. There are many capable people there. Watch out, or someone might teach you a lesson," Xia Nianbing teased Yin Tian, but her voice was thick with concern.

"Got it. Who could do anything to me?"

Yin Tian smiled, his mood lightened a bit by Xia Nianbing’s playful mood.

"You..."

Xia Nianbing’s voice hesitated, but then she asked softly, "When are you coming to pick me up?"

"Soon."

Yin Tian responded slowly, his voice filled with determination, "A month at the latest!"

"Okay!"

Xia Nianbing promised.

Ever since she knew Yin Tian wanted to take her away from that family, she had been looking forward to it.

"Yin Tian, you have no idea. They make me eat all sorts of weird stuff every day, none of it tastes good, and they even dictate how and where I sleep. It’s so annoying..."

Xia Nianbing started to complain to Yin Tian.

Yin Tian just smiled, quietly listening.

After Xia Nianbing was done complaining, Yin Tian suddenly said, "I kind of miss you all of a sudden."

Xia Nianbing’s voice stopped abruptly.

Even her breathing couldn’t be heard.

"What... did you just say?"

Xia Nianbing’s voice trembled with disbelief.

"It’s nothing. Just wait for me," Yin Tian said with a soft smile. "A month at the latest, I’ll come to get you."

"Okay!"

Xia Nianbing agreed, then quickly hung up the phone.

In the Imperial Capital,

a young girl lay on the soft bed, her face flushed, hugging her phone, smiling extraordinarily sweetly...

Back in the car, Su Qinwei and the other two girls immediately looked up at Yin Tian.

"Nianbing is fine over there, eating and drinking well, living even more luxuriously than you guys," Yin Tian said with an easy smile.

Hearing Yin Tian’s words, the three girls also set their minds at ease.

"Alright, let’s drive," Su Qinwei said with a smile on her face.

Yin Tian nodded and continued to drive, taking Su Qinwei and the other two girls towards the provincial city.

Soon, the car entered the provincial city.

As they passed an intersection, Yin Tian glanced around unintentionally, and suddenly his eyes widened...
