Chapter 154 Scoundrel
After getting off the train, Lin Tian left the station and hailed a taxi to Wu'an City.
Since the train he had taken was a slow one, stopping at almost every small station, he was not far from Wu'an City. A taxi ride would take about two hours to get there.
Once in the car, Lin Tian dialed Guo Rong's number, "Hey, Sleepyhead, did you mark me present?"
"Did it!"
"They didn't notice, right?"
"Nope! Don't you trust us?"
"That's good." After chatting for a bit more, Lin Tian hung up the call.
Because Lin Tian was in a rush to help Shen Yiran get back the stolen money, he naturally couldn't attend his afternoon classes, so he had to ask his dorm mates to help mark his attendance.
This was the first time Lin Tian had skipped class since starting university, fortunately, the teacher hadn't noticed.
By the time Lin Tian returned to school, it was already evening.
Back at school, Lin Tian scanned the area and soon spotted a red figure in the direction of the teaching building.
It was the task-red light flickering on Shen Mengyi.
"She must be studying in the classroom," Lin Tian thought, after giving Shen Mengyi's whereabouts a quick glance.
Fingering the cash in his pocket, Lin Tian strode toward the teaching building.
Although he had retrieved the two thousand yuan, Lin Tian hadn't received a message saying the task was completed; apparently, he needed to return the money to Shen Mengyi's sister, Shen Yiran.
Lin Tian couldn't be bothered to look for Shen Yiran and decided to go directly to Shen Mengyi instead.
Ten minutes later, Lin Tian entered the classroom where Shen Mengyi was.
At that time, there were about twenty students studying in the classroom. Lin Tian took a quick look inside and immediately found Shen Mengyi sitting at the back, and next to her was her sister, Shen Yiran.
"Both here, perfect!" Seeing the two of them, Lin Tian felt a surge of joy and walked over.
Since no one was sitting in the seats in front of Shen Mengyi and Shen Yiran, Lin Tian directly took the seat in front of them. He then pulled out roughly four thousand yuan from his pocket and slapped it onto the desk in front of them.
Slap!
The sudden appearance of a stack of red banknotes on the desk in front of them startled Shen Mengyi and Shen Yiran, who were deep in their books.
After a moment of surprise, they raised their heads, and then were astounded once again.
They hadn't expected Lin Tian.
Stunned for a moment, Shen Mengyi looked at Lin Tian with surprise, then back at the money on the table, and exclaimed, "What are you doing..."
"Here, two thousand of this is your sister's!" Lin Tian snorted, pointing at the stack of money on the table.
"Ah? Did you..." Upon hearing this, Shen Yiran, guessing what had transpired, gasped in shock, her voice inadvertently rising.
Because Shen Yiran suddenly raised her voice, the other students quietly reading in the room turned their gazes, looking somewhat displeased.
Noticing the glares from the surrounding students, Shen Mengyi quickly gathered the money from the desk and, standing up softly, said, "Let's talk outside."
Then, the three of them got up and went outside the classroom.
As soon as she arrived outside the classroom, Shen Yiran couldn't contain her surprise and looked at Lin Tian with amazement, "Did you really get those two thousand yuan back?"
"Of course, there's nothing I can't handle!" Lin Tian raised an eyebrow and laughed with a heh-heh.
"Really? You didn't just take out two thousand of your own, did you?" Holding a handful of cash, Shen Mengyi asked with some suspicion.
She genuinely thought Lin Tian might do something like that. Because in the past, she had encountered similar situations where men who pursued her would normally spend tens of thousands, so she was quite skeptical that Lin Tian had withdrawn the money himself to please her.
That was her confidence in her own appearance.
Lin Tian gave Shen Mengyi a speechless glance, took out his phone, opened the photo album, and handed it over, "Here, take a look. Are these the people?"
Lin Tian had anticipated this scene, so he had previously captured the faces of those four people with his phone.
"Let me see, let me see!" Seeing Lin Tian mention that he had photos of those people on his phone, Shen Yiran immediately leaned in closer.
Hearing Shen Yiran's words, Shen Mengyi promptly shifted the phone in her direction and moved it down a bit.
Shen Yiran's gaze swept over the photos on the phone, and she widened her eyes in disbelief before flipping through the pictures again, finding all four individuals who had stolen her money.
"It's true! You really found them?" Shen Yiran took her eyes off the phone and stared at Lin Tian in disbelief.
Although she had previously witnessed the magic of Lin Tian's divination, she was still somewhat in disbelief when Lin Tian actually found those four people.
"That's right, would I lie to you!" Lin Tian shook his leg and whistled.
"Huh? This is on a train?" At that moment, Shen Mengyi noticed something odd, realizing that the people in the photos seemed to be on a train.
"Oh, by the time I found them, they were already on the train, so I just chased after them," Lin Tian explained casually.
"..." Upon hearing this, both Shen Mengyi and Shen Yiran fell silent instantly.
Shen Mengyi was somewhat touched internally; for this matter, Lin Tian had actually chased after a train, this...
On the side, Shen Yiran was also very surprised and couldn't believe Lin Tian would go to such lengths, even chasing after a train.
Glancing at the expressions of the two, Lin Tian knew they had misunderstood something and then chuckled, "Don't get me wrong, I'm just a good person, um, a good person..."
If it weren't for the mission, Lin Tian wouldn't have gone to such extremes. But naturally, Lin Tian wouldn't say this out loud.
However, Lin Tian's explanation was met with disbelief from both. Shen Yiran laughed even more at Lin Tian and said, "Don't explain anymore, explanation is just a cover-up, did you fall for my sister? Since you helped me out this time, I can help you!"
"Your sister?" Lin Tian glanced at Shen Mengyi and was somewhat surprised to find that Shen Mengyi seemed to appear, well, a bit shy?
Come on, she hasn't fallen for me, has she? Am I really that charming?
Seeing Shen Mengyi appear somewhat shy, Lin Tian started feeling a bit self-admiring inside.
Seeing Lin Tian daydreaming, Shen Yiran laughed on the side, "Do you want my help? With my help, your chances of success would greatly increase. You should know that many people are after my sister."
Hearing Shen Yiran's words, Lin Tian snapped back to reality, gave her a look, then glanced at Shen Mengyi and subsequently Lin Tian pretended to ponder, stroking his slightly stubbly chin, and said thoughtfully, "Just one? How could that be enough? I aim for the sky with sisters, flying high! Why don't you both hook up with me at once!"
Upon hearing Lin Tian's words, Shen Yiran's pretty face blushed instantly.

While Shen Mengyi, on the other hand, was taken aback and then swung her fist towards Lin Tian, cursing, "Scram, pervert!"
Lin Tian dodged with a snicker, teasing, "Don't you like it? I'm quite amazing, you know, two is no problem!"
"You... jerk!" Shen Mengyi looked at Lin Tian, somewhat annoyed, stomped her foot, and turned her face away, ignoring Lin Tian.
