"Are you worried about your identity being exposed again?" Zheng Yude asked with a smile.

The man admitted that although he had made a contribution by reporting the crime, he was afraid of retaliation, so he proposed to come in person to collect the reward. Zheng Yude agreed, but asked for fingerprints to be left for verification.

"Is this still leaving evidence?" The man seemed a little flustered.

"Don't worry. If there is another person dressed similarly and claims the reward under someone else's name, we can use fingerprints to verify the authenticity," Zheng Yude explained.

The man thought for a moment, and finally nodded in agreement because of the bounty. After the man left, Zheng Yude quickly reported the situation to Shui Wenrou.

Shui Wenrou thought the man was being cautious and she sent someone to investigate. She secretly prayed that the person reported was indeed a thief and not an innocent person who had the same night-shining pearl, otherwise the clues would be cut off again.

Qin Tian soon received a call from Shui Wenrou, and was overjoyed when he heard the news. He then asked how to deal with the killer. Shui Wenrou replied that she had notified Huaguo and was waiting for his reply.

Soon, a reply arrived. It was Mary who came out to admit that she had sent the killer, but she insisted that Qin Tian's video was fake and had ruined his reputation. She said that if Qin Tian or Lin Guo had any dissatisfaction, they could come to her to argue.

Shui Wenrou told Qin Tian the result and asked him if he was satisfied. Qin Tian thought that since he had also arranged Mary, he would not bother with her anymore.

"Don't worry, I will have someone shoot a video and give it to you immediately, and then post it on the Internet." Qin Tian promised.

Later, the video shot by Qin Tian was released. In the video, he cleverly quoted allusions, emphasized the difference between reality and fiction, implied that what Mary said was true, and at the same time indirectly exposed the initiator of the first video. Although it was not stated explicitly, the audience had their own conclusions.

Shui Wenrou was very satisfied with the video and immediately posted it on the Internet. Mary felt mixed emotions after seeing it, but she also understood that Qin Tian's move had cleared her of the grievances. She decided to stop while she was ahead and not cause any more trouble.

Tom Twelve also saw through this, and felt relieved when he saw that Mary had stopped making a fuss.

That night, the staff called to report the night pearl incident. They went to investigate, but found that the man was not at home, so they had to leave someone to wait for him to return. Shui Wenrou appreciated their actions.

The next day, Qin Tian felt recovered and asked to be discharged from the hospital. Although the doctor suggested that he be observed for another day, Qin Tian insisted on his own opinion, so the doctor had to agree.

Qin Tian returned to the guest room and saw Zhu Xiaoling and Shui Lili waiting in the lobby. They were overjoyed to see him return.

"Brother Qin Tian, ​​are you feeling better?" they asked with concern.

Qin Tian chuckled, saying that although his legs and feet were not yet completely healed, it was no big deal. Even if he couldn't walk briskly today, he would definitely be able to recover as before tomorrow.

Shui Lili asked about the progress of the clues about the Night Pearl with concern. Qin Tian admitted that he had heard something, but the results were unknown. Shui Lili said that no matter what the result was, there was finally a ray of hope.

Zhu Xiaoling curiously asked if they could leave. Qin Tian lovingly scratched her nose and asked her whether she would rather stay or go with him. Zhu Xiaoling said without hesitation that wherever Qin Tian was was her home. Although Lin Country was her hometown, it could not move her heart. Qin Tian was moved when he heard this, and he knew the sincerity of this friendship.

As night fell, Shui Wenrou returned and was surprised to see Qin Tian had been discharged from the hospital. Qin Tian laughed and said that he was bored in the hospital and fled early. Shui Wenrou nodded in understanding and revealed that things were progressing.

Qin Tian then invited Shui Wenrou to stay with him in Jiuzhou Empire. Although Shui Wenrou was tempted, she was bound by official duties. She promised to keep the appointment within a month at most. Qin Tian gladly accepted and suggested that they could visit each other like relatives in the future.

In the dead of night, Shui Wenrou came to visit. Qin Tian opened the door to welcome her, but was startled by her sudden intimate behavior. Shui Wenrou said with a smile that she wanted to relive the time they slept together in the hospital, but Qin Tian refused repeatedly, fearing that it would be embarrassing if others saw them. Shui Wenrou didn't care at all, and hugged her tightly until the phone rang, then she let go.

Qin Tian took the opportunity to pick up Shui Wenrou, carried her to the living room, and quickly locked the door to prevent any accidents. Shui Lili couldn't help laughing when she saw this. Shui Wenrou glared at her, and she quickly hid back in her room. Qin Tian unexpectedly found that his arm strength had recovered as before, and he was overjoyed.

Shui Lili returned to the room, still unable to hold back her snickering. Shui Wenrou pretended to be angry, and the two of them played around for a while before finally settling down.

At this time, Zhu Xiaoling sent a message, saying that she had noticed the feelings between the two, and advised Qin Tian to cherish Shui Wenrou's deep affection and not to let her feel disappointed. Qin Tian replied, jokingly saying that she was meddling in other people's business, but he was also touched in his heart.

Zhu Xiaoling sighed softly, feeling sorry for Shui Wenrou and secretly sad. Qin Tian was nice, but he had no interest in her. She couldn't help wondering who could be worthy of such a Qin Tian.

At dawn the next day, Li Qiang began to investigate the man who was associated with the Night Pearl. After some inquiries, he learned that the man's name was Song Shuwen, and he worked in a carpet factory. Shui Wenrou also informed Qin Tian of this situation.

Qin Tian sat on the sofa in the living room, thinking deeply about how to properly handle this key information. He knew that once Song Shuwen admitted that the Night Pearl was stolen by the Jin family, it would cause an uproar in Lin Country. However, he also expected that this person would not give in easily, so he needed to take some special measures to force him to speak.

Qin Tian decided to take action himself. After communicating with Shui Wenrou over the phone and gaining her support, he began to carefully plan the action.

Soon, Qin Tian arrived at the village where Song Shuwen was. Li Qiang saw him coming and left.

"Mr. Fang, it's up to you from now on," said Li Qiang.

Qin Tian nodded and walked straight to Song Shuwen's house. The gate was wide open, and Song Shuwen was a little panicked when he saw a stranger suddenly visiting.

Qin Tian directly mentioned the matter of the Night Pearl. Song Shuwen was stunned when he heard it, and then under Qin Tian's repeated questioning, his psychological pressure doubled. Qin Tian showed some evidence about the Night Pearl, and Song Shuwen smiled bitterly. It turned out that his whereabouts were exposed because of a phone call.

Finally, he let down his guard and admitted that the Night Pearl was indeed stolen by the Jin family. Qin Tian felt mixed emotions, both excited and heavy, knowing that this was a major victory.

"Since you have admitted it, then come with me." Qin Tian said.

However, Song Shuwen refused, saying that he could not leave because he had to save his daughter's life. Qin Tian sneered at this and expressed disbelief at the claim that the Night Pearl could cure diseases.

"I saw it in a book. Although I also found it strange, it concerns my daughter, so I have to give it a try," Song Shuwen explained.

Seeing this, Qin Tian stopped mocking, but he still firmly believed in his heart that stealing was unforgivable no matter what the purpose was.

"This is not a negotiation, it's an order. Now, you must follow me." Qin Tian said in a cold and hard tone.

Song Shuwen felt the majesty and irresistibility in Qin Tian's eyes, and his heart trembled. He knew that Qin Tian's strength should not be underestimated. Although he was young, he had a strong aura. At this moment, Song Shuwen came up with a plan and tried to resist. He caught a glimpse of the iron rod in the corner, rushed over and swung it at Qin Tian. Qin Tian snorted coldly and kicked the iron rod away easily. The iron rod drew an arc in the air and hit the roof heavily, and the tiles flew everywhere.

Qin Tian quickly grabbed Song Shuwen by the collar and said sternly, "What else do you want? Hand over the Night Pearl and follow me."

Song Shuwen fell to his knees and begged, "I beg you, I really want to save my daughter. As long as I can save her, I will do anything."

Qin Tian sighed and said, "You are too confused. No matter what, stealing is wrong."

After saying that, Qin Tian dragged Song Shuwen away and took out the night pearl from his pocket.

"You hid quite secretly, but I still found you." Qin Tian said with a smile.

Qin Tian drove the bus of the State Palace, stuffed Song Shuwen into the car, and drove away. On the way, he remembered that he had not called Shui Wenrou yet, so he quickly stopped the car and called her.

"The Night Pearl has been obtained." Qin Tian said excitedly.

Shui Wenrou expressed her approval. At this time, Song Shuwen received a call from the out-of-town doctor, who clearly stated that the Night Pearl treatment was pure nonsense, but he was embarrassed to refute it in person that day, so he refused to treat Song Shuwen's daughter.

This news once again plunged Song Shuwen into despair. Qin Tian secretly sighed in his heart that it was indeed troublesome to seek medical treatment in a hurry.

Song Shuwen was eventually escorted to the state palace to receive the due trial. Qin Tian's mission had been completed. He only needed to bring back the Night Pearl. As for Song Shuwen's final judgment, it had nothing to do with him.

Qin Tian hoped that Shui Wenrou could spread the news and let everyone know that no one could take anything away from him. Although Shui Wenrou had some concerns, she agreed to Qin Tian's request when she saw his firm attitude. As a result, the news soon spread all over the city.

As night fell, Qin Tian said that he would leave the next day and invited Shui Wenrou to visit Jiuzhou Empire in a month. Shui Wenrou readily agreed and said that she would definitely go by then. Qin Tian understood that she was actually unwilling to face the scene of separation.

The next day, Shui Lili was responsible for sending Qin Tian and Zhu Xiaoling to the airport. She told Qin Tian to be careful because many people were coveting the night pearl. Qin Tian confidently said that everything would be fine.

As the plane slowly took off, the clouds outside the window unfolded like a scroll under his feet. Qin Tian held the Night Pearl tightly, his heart surging with excitement and anticipation. Zhu Xiaoling suddenly asked: "What will happen when we go back? Will you become a hero again?" Qin Tian smiled and shook his head: "I don't know, but I know that I must dedicate this Night Pearl to the Jiuzhou Empire."

The plane finally landed at the airport of Jiuzhou Empire. As soon as Qin Tian and Zhu Xiaoling walked out of the airport, a man in police uniform came to meet them. After confirming their identities, he led them into a police car and drove to a tall building.

Inside the building, a female police officer received them and led them to a meeting room by elevator. In the meeting room, a middle-aged man sat upright, claiming to be Li Yu, an employee of the special department of Kyushu Empire.

Li Yu said straight to the point: "Mr. Qin Tian, ​​I know you have the Night Pearl in your hand and are going to present it to the Jiuzhou Empire. If you can successfully present it, you will become a hero of the Jiuzhou Empire." At the same time, he also proposed that the Night Pearl should be identified to confirm its authenticity. Qin Tian readily agreed and handed the Night Pearl to the expert for identification.

After a series of rigorous tests and inspections, the Night Pearl was confirmed to be authentic. At the press conference of Jiuzhou Empire, Qin Tian became the focus of everyone's attention. He interpreted courage and value with his actions, and was therefore awarded by Li Yu.

Qin Tian wanted to decline, but Li Yu quoted Confucius' teachings, pointing out that accepting a favor is also a sign of respect for others. Qin Tian gladly accepted the reward.

As night fell, Qin Tian and Zhu Xiaoling returned to the villa in Haicheng. Lying on the bed they had not seen for a long time, both of them felt a special kind of intimacy. At the same time, Jiang Wenwu also learned the news of Qin Tian and the Saint's return, and was determined to get in touch with the Saint as soon as possible to enhance the cohesion of the Shenlong Gate. However, he had not yet figured out a specific way to contact her.

Soon, Gao Wenliang called and shouted excitedly: "Brother, you are finally back!" Qin Tian responded with a smile: "Thank you for your concern, Brother Gao." Gao Wenliang expressed his desire to invite Qin Tian for a drink and reminisce about the past. Qin Tian smiled and politely declined the title of "hero" and agreed to have dinner with Gao Wenliang tomorrow night.

Soon, Qin Tian planned to tell Zhu Xiaoling about the dinner plan in the evening and invite her to go together.

"Are you having dinner with Gao Wenliang again?" Zhu Xiaoling asked curiously.

Qin Tian was a little surprised: "How did you know?"

Zhu Xiaoling smiled proudly: "I guessed it, but I didn't expect to get it right the first time."

As night fell, Qin Tian and Zhu Xiaoling decided to go out shopping, while Jiang Wenwu followed them secretly, trying to find an opportunity to get close to the saint.

When they walked into a shopping mall, Zhu Xiaoling keenly spotted Tian Wenjing's figure. "Brother Qin Tian, ​​do you think that is Tian Wenjing? Is she here for you?" Zhu Xiaoling pulled Qin Tian's sleeve and whispered.

Qin Tian took a look and confirmed that it was Tian Wenjing, but he didn't care. "Maybe, but it doesn't matter. She can use whatever tricks she has."

Tian Wenjing didn't notice them and left after buying things. Qin Tian felt that this encounter was not a bad thing. At least he knew that Tian Wenjing was also in Haicheng, so he could be more cautious in the future. He looked at Zhu Xiaoling gratefully: "Thanks for your discovery, thank you."

Zhu Xiaoling was a little worried: "Brother Qin Tian, ​​I think knowing this news will put a psychological burden on you. It's better not to know it."

Qin Tian smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry, I won't take it to heart. She is not worth my worrying about every day."

The next night, Qin Tian, ​​Zhu Xiaoling and Gao Wenliang met at Mingyue Lake Restaurant for dinner. Jiang Wenwu also quietly followed and sat at a table not far from them.

Gao Wenliang was full of admiration for Qin Tian: "Qin Tian, ​​I really envy you, you are my idol."

Qin Tian smiled modestly and said, "Don't say that. You are also very good. You have your own business and company and have made a lot of contributions to society."

Zhu Xiaoling joked: "You two should stop flattering each other. You are both great, okay?"

Jiang Wenwu observed while drinking tea and found that Saint Zhu Xiaoling was always with Qin Tian and had no chance to act alone. He was secretly anxious. He did not sleep all night last night, just to find a way to get close to the Saint, but he was at a loss.

However, at this moment, an unexpected opportunity appeared. The restaurant owner announced that the bathroom was out of order and suggested that the guests go to the public bathroom outside. (End of this chapter)
