Stepping out of the underground cave, Qin Tian remained in a daze, only regaining his senses when he rejoined the main force, completed the mission, and returned to the Sydney gathering.
As night fell, lying in bed, Qin Tian recalled the events of the day, but Lin Kuangliu's appearance lingered in his mind persistently...
When it came to intelligence and strategy, Qin Tian truly wasn't remarkable. However, the fact that the celestial god was Lin Kuangliu was a matter that even without much intelligence, one could guess was of great significance!
Currently, he was posing as Lin Tianxue, who was attempting to expand her influence in Beijing—Lin Tianxue's protective talisman was undoubtedly his identity as Lin Haifeng's only daughter. Yet, if Lin Kuangliu was not dead and Lin Haifeng's son was also alive, then all plans and safety measures would have to be completely overhauled!
Lin Haifeng might not care about Lin Tianxue's life or death; he only wanted to use Lin Tianxue to root out the unstable elements within Beijing!
Lin Tianxue's protective talisman could not guarantee her life; it was merely a trap set by Lin Haifeng!
Moreover, Lin Haifeng's cultivation of Lin Que was not based on outdated ideas of male superiority over female; rather, it was the celestial god applying pressure from the sidelines!
Simply because of the celestial god's true identity, everything became entirely different!
This matter could not be concealed. It would be best for Lin Tianxue to let go sooner rather than later; at least Qin Tian could keep a military position. Should news be concealed and he walked down the same dark path with Lin Tianxue, what awaited was inevitably a reckoning!
As for not informing Lin Tianxue and directly cutting ties with her as his employer... During this time in Beijing, Lin Tianxue had indeed treated Qin Tian well. Out of emotion and reason, Qin Tian felt he had to "save" Lin Tianxue.
In a short time, Qin Tian made up his mind—regarding the so-called sss level confidential information that must not be leaked...
Such things truly seemed like a trick to fool ghosts...
Thinking of this, Qin Tian sprang up from bed, first using his perception abilities to scan the surroundings. After confirming there were no outsiders, he immediately took out his communicator from the Spatial Ring and dialed Lin Tianxue's number.
...
"Beep beep beep..."
The busy tone echoed through the room, and then the communicator connected, revealing Lin Tianxue's sleepy voice—at this hour, it was already late at night in Beijing.
"Qin Tian, what's up?"
Her lazy tone carried a hint of allure, but responding to her was Qin Tian's impatient words.
"Little Snow, is there anyone else around you?"
"No, why? Brother Qin Tian, I've already said it’s impossible for us; after all, I am a married woman."
Lin Tianxue’s voice became much clearer, but what she said left Qin Tian feeling awkward, his head enveloped in a cloud of embarrassment... It seemed a lot had happened in the five years since.
Being scolded by Lin Tianxue, Qin Tian felt he had something to say but couldn’t find the words. After a while, he finally sorted out his thoughts.
"I discovered a big secret today, Little Snow. Are you sure your brother is dead?"
A simple sentence immediately pulled the distracted Lin Tianxue back to the present. There was silence on the other end of the communicator for a long time before her voice came through.
"I’m sure, very sure! What exactly did you find out!?"
The lazy tone instantly turned urgent, clearly indicating that Lin Tianxue sensed something concerning from Qin Tian’s words.
"I saw the celestial god’s appearance today; that face looks exactly like your brother’s..."
On the other end, Lin Tianxue's breathing became noticeably rapid: "Are you sure? Can you confirm?"
"I’m quite sure; I’m not certain if it’s him, but the appearance is indeed identical."
Lin Tianxue fell silent, her expression dazed, until Qin Tian’s voice broke through the silence again.
