Chapter 369: Sorry, You’re Too Late_1

"Enough, no need to talk tough with me,"

Yin Tian glanced at Zhou Zhen and let out a light chuckle, "I’ll definitely visit the Zhou Family, don’t be so anxious."

"What I want to ask you is, the person who embarrassed your Zhou Family, surely you are also investigating him, right? Do you know where he went?"

"What do you want with him?"

Zhou Zhen looked at Yin Tian with suspicion.

"The enemy of my enemy is my friend, of course, I want to join forces with him and pay another visit to your Zhou Family,"

Yin Tian did not reveal his relationship with his master.

The Zhou Family might guess that the master challenged them single-handedly perhaps for Yin Tian’s sake, but they had no actual proof.

But if he admitted it, then things would get tricky.

The Zhou Family dared not lay a finger on his master, but as for him, they would spare no effort!

Zhou Zhen scrutinized Yin Tian carefully, trying to discern the truth through his expression.

However, after watching for a long while, he still couldn’t figure it out and could only shake his head and say, "That person has left the Imperial Capital."

"He left?"

Yin Tian exclaimed in surprise.

His master had left a letter for him, telling him he would wait in the Imperial Capital and then reveal the whole truth to him.

But now that he had arrived, he learned that his master had already left the Capital City?

In this vast world, if his master had really gone, where could he possibly find him?

He lifted his head and looked at Zhou Zhen, "You aren’t lying to me?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

Zhou Zhen immediately looked up, staring at Yin Tian, "I can swear it."

Yin Tian waved his hand dismissively and sneered disdainfully, "Never mind, is your oath even credible?"

In reality, Yin Tian had noted from Zhou Zhen’s reaction that he was not lying.

Zhou Zhen, his face full of humiliation, stared back at Yin Tian, his complexion exceedingly ugly.

"Alright, stop looking at me with such a spiteful gaze,"

Yin Tian stretched out his hand and patted Zhou Zhen’s face with a movement full of humiliating intent.

He and the Zhou Family were already irreconcilable, and there was no need for him to try to appease Zhou Zhen for the sake of easing tensions with the Zhou Family.

What’s more, he had never been one to curry favor with others.

Then, Yin Tian spoke again, "Xia Nianbing is staying at your house, is she doing alright?"

"Xia Nianbing?"

Zhou Zhen paused, then finally remembered who Yin Tian was referring to, "That woman?"

Yin Tian didn’t respond, just crossed his arms and looked indifferently at Zhou Zhen.

"She... with such a big incident happening in our Zhou Family... how could we care about her?"

As Zhou Zhen said this, his eyes darted around, showing he was somewhat insincere.

Yin Tian frowned.

Could it be that the Zhou Family, faced with such chaos, wanted to transfer the Fortune that Xia Nianbing carried to themselves ahead of time?

If that were the case, then he really needed to hurry to the Zhou Family and take Nianbing away.

"I hope you can tell me the truth,"

Yin Tian said to Zhou Zhen, speaking slowly, "I can tell at a glance whether you’re lying."

Zhou Zhen’s pupils shrank, and he suddenly turned and ran.

"Sigh..."

Yin Tian let out a sigh, "Why do you always have to make simple things so complicated?"

Before his voice fell, another chopstick he had been fiddling with in his hand shot out, striking Zhou Zhen precisely in the crook of his leg.

Thump!

Zhou Zhen felt his leg go numb, losing all sensation.

His body involuntarily fell forward, crashing to the ground.

Yin Tian stood up and walked toward Zhou Zhen.

The other young men who had come with Zhou Zhen, seeing that Yin Tian wasn’t paying attention to them, exchanged glances and quietly started walking towards Su Qinwei and the other girls.

But they had only taken a few steps when suddenly the one in the lead slumped and collapsed on the ground.

The other two froze in place, staring blankly at their fallen companion, unsure of what had just happened.

Yin Tian slowly turned his head, his gaze falling onto the two, "Don’t try any tricks, I’ve been watching you the whole time."

Yin Tian’s voice was flat and unremarkable, but to those two men, it sent shivers down their spines, rendering them speechless with trepidation.

Seeing this, Yin Tian turned back toward Zhou Zhen.

Soon, Yin Tian stood beside Zhou Zhen and looked down at him with a smile, "So, can you clarify things for me now?"

Zhou Zhen was pale, finally understanding the terror Zhou Gen and Zhou Li had faced when confronting Yin Tian.

"I... I..."

Zhou Zhen started to speak, trembling, but couldn’t complete a sentence.

"It seems you still need my help."

As he spoke, Yin Tian reached out and grabbed Zhou Zhen’s shoulder.

With a slight effort, Zhou Zhen screamed like a slaughtered pig.

"I... I’m saying..."

Zhou Zhen managed to speak, but then.

Crack!

Zhou Zhen’s shoulder was abruptly crushed by Yin Tian!

Yin Tian looked down at Zhou Zhen with a smiling gaze.

"Sorry, you’re too late."
