Lin Tian opened his mouth but was speechless.

Where did Zhou Mi’s brother pop out from? Is he nuts?

Of course, he could tell that this brother was worried his sister would get involved with him. Honestly, he’s just like Xu Haohai.

Lin Tian stared at Zhou Tang’s face and laughed, "You were the one following us on the road earlier, right? And those people in trench coats didn’t just show up by coincidence, did they?"

Zhou Tang snorted coldly, "That’s right! I was the one tracking you, and I called those people over. But it turns out they can’t beat you. I admit you’re excellent, even perfect, but you already have a girlfriend, so please stay away from my sister in the future!"

Lin Tian shrugged, "Your sister and I are just ordinary friends, we haven’t even held hands."

"But she just kissed you! In the second bar!" Zhou Tang was agitated.

"That was just a game."

"But she still kissed you!"

"Alright, so what do you want me to do?"

Zhou Tang opened his mouth, not knowing what to say. What did he want? For them never to meet again? That’s impossible, his sister isn’t someone he can control!

"I can’t do anything for now, but if you hurt my sister, you’ll end up miserable!"

This was a blatant threat, but Lin Tian didn’t care. Xu Haohai had said similar things before. He wasn’t afraid of the top boss of Pearl City; why would he be afraid of this guy? 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Brother! You’re really overthinking!" Zhou Mi sighed leisurely. She hadn’t even gotten a chance to win him over, and her brother was already saying things like this. Was she shameless?

Lin Tian sat up a little straighter and said, "I promise you here and now, my relationship with your sister will only be as ordinary friends. Let’s drop this subject. We should talk about something else."

Zhou Tang gave Lin Tian a look, "And what else do we have to talk about?"

Lin Tian was indifferent to his attitude and said, "Are you interested in joining Black Gold?"

"Black Gold?"

Zhou Tang’s body stiffened slightly. Of course, he knew Black Gold referred to Black Gold Security Company, though it carried the name of a security company.

"You’re asking me to join Black Gold? Are you serious?" Zhou Tang asked while observing Lin Tian’s expression.

"Of course, I’m serious. No one in Black Gold’s words carry more weight than mine! But I want to ask, how many brothers do you have?" Lin Tian asked.

Zhou Mi, listening on the side, was secretly amazed. She also knew what Black Gold implied. It was actually Lin Tian’s, exactly how many secrets did he have?

"Those aren’t my men, just subordinates of my friends," Zhou Tang said.

Money wasn’t something Lin Tian lacked, and inviting trouble because of such transactions was the last thing Lin Tian wanted to see.

"Then what kind of things do you sell?"

"Well, this isn’t the best place to talk about that, is it?"

Zhou Tang said cautiously, since this business wasn’t exactly on the up and up, being cautious was the right approach.

Lin Tian probably understood it was because of Jiang Pan Die.

"No worries, go ahead, we have no reason to harm you, right?" Lin Tian said.

After hesitating for two seconds, Zhou Tang finally nodded, "Alright, I actually deal in a variety of things, antiques, whatever makes money, I sell it."

Zhou Mi listened calmly, obviously she had known this for a while. Jiang Pan Die was also listening with great interest.

"Sounds like you’ve got quite a network."

Zhou Tang laughed without any reservation, "Exactly, my greatest trait is my connections."

Zhou Mi interjected from the side, "If your network wasn’t broad, would you have so many girlfriends? Your own love life is such a mess, and yet you have the nerve to meddle in my affairs."

Zhou Tang’s face turned dark, "I’m discussing serious business here, can you not mess around?"

Jiang Pan Die couldn’t get a word in. They were just in a melodramatic dispute, and now the atmosphere turned so serious, like they were discussing national affairs.

So, these two beauties sat at another table with their milk tea, as they had other things to discuss, specifically about filming a music video.

After the two women left, Lin Tian asked, "With all your friends, could you do intelligence work?"

"Intelligence?" Zhou Tang thought for two seconds and then said, "I can’t guarantee elsewhere, but I can get firsthand information here."

Lin Tian nodded, then had Zhou Tang write down a number and said, "This is Wu Yong’s phone number. Go find him tomorrow, tell him I sent you."

"Am I joining Black Gold to do intelligence then?"

Lin Tian shook his head with a smile, "Your network is extensive, doing intelligence could work. If you can conquer it, even better."

"What?" Zhou Tang looked surprised, "Do you know how chaotic it is?"

Lin Tian’s mouth curled into a smile, "Du Dahai, to be honest, is not that capable. Just because he can’t handle it doesn’t mean we can’t. I’m just speaking hypothetically. Rest assured, I won’t let you be cannon fodder, and you’re not that foolish, right?"

Zhou Tang nodded, not saying a word.

But the idea Lin Tian planted in him was like sowing a seed. Once he joined Black Gold, he’d realize how powerful it was, and at that point, the seed would take root in his mind.

If they could take it down, it would be a huge piece of cake. Though some aspects were illegal, with proper management, it wouldn’t be that bad.

If not, Lin Tian had nothing to lose and gained Zhou Tang, a contact with great connections.

Lin Tian promised him that once he joined Black Gold, his pay would be higher than before. However, the hardships he would endure would also increase. The training from Tian Ming was grueling, leaving him barely alive by the end, but the results were remarkable. Take Wu Yong, for example, now he could take on two people with abundant energy, which would have been impossible with his previous physique.

As for the matter between Lin Tian and Zhou Mi, it ultimately ended unresolved.

After all, they hadn’t developed a substantial relationship. If they did in the future, Zhou Tang’s temperament meant he wouldn’t care if he was the head of Black Gold, he’d make trouble as he saw fit.
