Chapter 2479 It’s you who came to stop me?
Night slowly falls.
Weicheng is unusually quiet today. Late at night, the streets are empty, as if everyone is at home and has chosen not to go out.
Ling Tian and Lin Qi left the Tan family villa together, stood on the road, and looked around. They were slightly stunned, their eyes full of confusion.
At this moment, Ling Tian frowned slightly, appearing somewhat alert and said, "Lin Qi, be careful, there's danger tonight, it seems... there's something wrong!"
Hearing this, Lin Qi nodded and looked around vigilantly, while paying attention to Ling Tian's position.
His idea was very simple, which was to protect Ling Tian. No matter what danger he encountered, he would step forward to stop it, at least not let Ling Tian fall into danger.
On the other hand, Ling Tian didn't pay much attention to Lin Qi's thoughts. Instead, he tried hard to sense his surroundings, fearing that he would miss any breath.
Time passed little by little. At two o'clock in the evening, there was not a single citizen on the street. To be honest, it was a bit unexpected.
Logically speaking, this time should be the time for young people to go out and play, but now, not only is there no one around, but most importantly, it's as if everyone has received some news in advance, and there's not even a sound.
This situation made Ling Tian feel puzzled, and he was wondering why such a strange scene would appear in Weicheng at night.
Finally, after the two of them had stood on the road for nearly half an hour, Ling Tiancai was ready to move forward. He said, "Let's go! It seems the beast killers have guessed our intentions and are probably planning to capture us all and show the citizens who is the true lord of the city."
After these words were spoken, Lin Qi looked at Ling Tian suddenly, and for a moment he did not understand what he meant.
What does it mean to let the citizens see who is the real lord of the city?
What does this... have to do with the city lord?
Are the citizens of Weicheng watching everything that happens here?
Can't you?
Lin Qi looked around with a little confusion, and seemed a little curious about the situation around him.
Ling Tian slowly moved forward, his target naturally being the Wang family villa in Weicheng.
He walked for almost half an hour, and when he was about to reach his destination, several figures suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked Ling Tian's way.
The sudden appearance of the group of people startled Ling Tian, and his hand unconsciously reached for the Blood-Red Sword.
After all, he didn't sense the presence of these people during the entire process. Could it be that...
"Are you...uncle?"
After seeing who was coming, Ling Tian looked at the group of people in front of him with a little doubt, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The group of people who appeared in front were the stall owner that Ling Tian had rescued a few days ago, and the group of people who were watching the show around.
Although not everyone came, Ling Tian remembered the appearance of those people and knew who they were.
On the other hand, the stall owner was shocked when he saw Ling Tian. He hurried over and said, "Little brother, run! You'll be right if you listen to me. Let's run, now! Quick, quick, quick!"
The stall owner said this and without saying anything, he pulled Ling Tian and wanted to walk in the opposite direction.
The rest of the people also pulled Lin Qi along, and everyone's face seemed to be filled with deep anxiety, as well as a hint of fear and tension.
Noticing their expressions, Ling Tian waved his hand and asked in confusion, "Uncle, what are you doing? Pulling me forward... What's the purpose? If you have anything to say, let's talk right here. I have something else to do."
"Are you going to look for Captain Liu? We all know your intentions! Hurry! Little brother, we've been waiting for three days to stop you. You must obey us!"
The stall owner spoke anxiously, and Ling Tian looked even more confused.
Waited for three days?
And they also know their goals?
At this moment, Ling Tian was also confused and curious, wanting to know why these people did this.
After all, they definitely didn't want to pull me away for no reason.
They must know something if they do this. Most importantly, Ling Tian is very curious about how they know that he wants to take action against the orc killer.
This resulted in Ling Tian being able to stand still, and no matter how the stall owner pulled him, it was of no use.
Noticing that he couldn't pull Ling Tian, the stall owner looked at him and said, "Little brother! Can't you just listen to me? You can't go! You really can't go! Listen to me! You absolutely must listen to me!"
The stall owner kept repeating that he couldn't go, and Ling Tian became even more curious. "Uncle, if you have anything to say, just tell me directly. I'm listening, okay? You don't have to worry, okay?"
Seeing that he couldn't pull Ling Tian away, the stall owner slapped his thigh, looking annoyed: "Oh, I should have stopped you earlier! It's all my fault! It's all my fault! Little brother, please don't hold a grudge against me! I..."
"Uncle, uncle, that's enough." Ling Tian hurriedly stopped the stall owner, preventing him from continuing to feel frustrated. Instead, he asked, "Uncle, why didn't you let me go find the orc killer? And how did you know my target was Captain Liu?"
"We all know it! Everyone in Weicheng knows it! We know it clearly!"
After he finished speaking, the stall owner sighed and briefly told Ling Tian what he knew.
It was only then that Ling Tian realized that Lin Qi's observations over the past few days had actually been an illusion given to him by Captain Liu. Tan Xiaoqiang probably also failed to gain Captain Liu's trust, which was why he let the entire Weicheng, except Ling Tian, know Captain Liu's thoughts.
It turned out that just three days ago, Captain Liu's subordinates and several other family members began to convey the message door to door, telling everyone that they were planning to take action against Ling Tian and asked them to stay in the house for the next few days and not go out.
When he completely destroys Ling Tian and takes control of the entire Weicheng, he will give them some rewards and will not let them wait in vain these days.
After hearing this, the "ignorant" citizens all believed his so-called reward and were very excited about it, so they stayed at home and did not go out for the past few days.
After the stall owners heard the news, they knew that Captain Liu was going to take action against Ling Tian, so they waited secretly at the place where they had to pass on their way to the Wang family villa, just to make him leave when they saw Ling Tian.
After all, the stall owner always felt that Ling Tian and Captain Liu had a feud because of him, so he wanted Ling Tian to turn around and leave. As long as he could stay safe, it was better than anything else, so he did so.
On the other hand, after listening to this whole process, Ling Tian looked at the stall owner and smiled slightly, saying, "Uncle, actually... the hatred between Captain Liu and me is far from because of you. It's because we have been enemies for a long time."
"Ah? Then you..."
"So, you don't have to worry." Ling Tian patted the stall owner's shoulder: "Don't worry, I will definitely... kill him!"
