Chapter 694 - 693: Death God
Xu Kan was once again shocked. It turned out this wasn’t what he imagined at all—it was a combat corpse with both power and defense that could actually be controlled. It was incredibly heaven-defying!
Chu Jingyun really deserved to be called a master. Previously, Xu Kan was puzzled as to why Young Master Chu, with such limited abilities, dared to come to South City to confront Chen Tianlong.
Now it seemed that he had come prepared.
"Alright, that concludes the introduction of the entire plan. As for the information on Chen Tianlong, can you provide me with a complete set? When can our people obtain the new medicine information from World Medicine?"
Chu Jingyun had basically laid out the three missions of this visit, and now he could only wait for Xu Kan’s reply.
"Well..."
Xu Kan thought for a moment. When it came to Chen Tianlong’s information, he could only find so much up to now. But he couldn’t believe that Chen Tianlong was just raised by an old maiden in the countryside and then, by chance, met Lin Batian and became his daughter’s bodyguard.
So, he organized his thoughts and said, "Young Master Chu, some of the information on Chen Tianlong is unreliable. For now, all we know is that he is the bodyguard of Lin Batian’s daughter, Lin Wushuang..."
"Wait... what did you say just now, Lin Batian’s daughter? Is she beautiful?" Chu Jingyun’s eyes suddenly gleamed, clearly exposing his lecherous nature.
Xu Kan was speechless; was this necessary? A woman, really? As a distinguished young master, how many women do you want? Yet in the middle of serious business, you reveal your lust at the mention of a woman.
"Well... Young Master Chu, this Chen Tianlong is indeed Lin Wushuang’s bodyguard. She’s the school belle of South Sea No.1 Middle School." Knowing Chu Jingyun’s lustful tendencies, Xu Kan decided to reveal the truth.
But upon saying this, Xu Kan secretly chuckled, because he had always been looking for an opportunity to make a move on Lin Batian’s daughter. Now that Young Master Chu was here, wasn’t this the perfect opportunity?
So he continued, "Young Master Chu, could it be that you’re interested in Lin Wushuang?"
"Haha, interested or not, as long as she’s a beauty, I’m always welcoming," Young Master Chu sneered cunningly, with a slight curl of his lips and a sly glint in his eyes, continuing, "That Chen Tianlong ruined my plans, so I’ll target his employer. Isn’t he a bodyguard? Let’s see how he protects Lin Wushuang in my hands."
Hearing Chu Jingyun’s words, Xu Kan grinned secretly, sensing there was now an opportunity. As long as Young Master Chu went against Chen Tianlong, the good show was about to begin.
Even though he was one of Young Master Chu’s subordinates, their relationship was primarily based on mutual interest. If asked to directly confront Chen Tianlong, a large sum of payment would be needed, otherwise, he wouldn’t take action easily.
Now, it was favorable. Chu Jingyun volunteered to deal with Chen Tianlong, which not only posed a threat to him but also to Lin Wushuang.
Lin Batian certainly wouldn’t sit idly by. Once Lin Batian got involved with the Chu Family, things would spiral out of control, and the ones destined to fall would be the Lin Family.
It’s important to know that the Lin Family’s assets and overall strength were insignificant compared to the Chu Family in the Capital City.
Aside from some resources acquired through Chu Jingyun’s various tactics, they also managed the Capital City’s pharmaceutical business and various pill manufacturing and sales, especially the production and sale of Medicine Cauldrons.
"Yes, Lin Wushuang is a peerless beauty. I can guarantee you, there are few women in South City who can compare to her. Moreover, as a rich young lady, she surely takes the best care of herself—her skin is flawless. Most importantly, she’s still ******."
Xu Kan spoke as if he were marketing Lin Wushuang, showering her with praises, which immediately stirred Chu Jingyun’s thoughts.
In high school, Chu Jingyun had already been with countless women and had grown tired of girls his age. But, in retrospect, he found those younger girls in junior years more naive and easier to deceive.
"Hehe, I just love beauties."
Chu Jingyun laughed lasciviously and said, "Alright then, Elder Xu, help me investigate Chen Tianlong’s information and World Medicine’s new projects."
"Okay, Young Master Chu."
Xu Kan dared not delay, as the Xu Family’s comeback heavily depended on the Chu Family’s support. Otherwise, it would be tough to regain prominence.
After their conversation, the two continued with their meal. After a few drinks, Young Master Chu finished eating and planned to return to the hotel to rest.
Even though the Xu Family lived in a villa, what kind of person was Young Master Chu? He needed company at night, and inviting women to stay over at the Xu Family’s might not be appropriate.
After Young Master Chu left, Xu Kan furrowed his brows. Although Chu Jingyun hadn’t forced him to do anything, he knew that this task needed to be completed, and done well.
His patron had instructed him, and if he didn’t work hard, it would be like shooting himself in the foot with a brick.
Not long after, as night fell, a black BMW slowly drove into the Xu Family Mansion. Xu Kan looked over from a distance and smiled slightly. It was Xu Fei.
Xu Kan walked to the door and headed towards the BMW. Today was a day worth celebrating; his patron had arrived, and he certainly wanted to share the news with his son, Xu Fei.
"Master, why did you come out?" Xu Fei was taken aback; his master usually didn’t personally come out to greet him.
"Oh, little Fei, I have good news to tell you, so I came out in a hurry," Xu Kan chuckled.
"Oh? What is it? But then again, what could make you so excited, enough to make such an effort?" Xu Fei sensed there was something unusual, as Xu Kan typically didn’t show such excitement.
"Haha, today a distinguished guest visited our family. Do you know who it is?" Xu Kan deliberately left a suspenseful pause, but then immediately answered his own question, as he was too excited to contain it. He continued, "It’s the eldest young master of the Chu Family from the Capital City, Chu Jingyun."
"Ah? Really? Then... where is he now?"
Xu Fei was also excited after hearing Xu Kan, not for any other reason, but because he had heard that Chu Jingyun was a master hacker. If he could enlist his help to hack into the South Sea No.1 Middle School’s network and prank Chen Tianlong and Lin Wushuang, wouldn’t that be amusing?
Thinking of this, Xu Fei got a bit excited and hurriedly said, "Master, where is Chu Jingyun? I want to see him! I want to see him."
This time, Xu Kan was taken aback. Logically, Young Master Wu shouldn’t be this excited; he just couldn’t express his excitement because Chu Jingyun planned to deal with Chen Tianlong and had set his sights on Lin Wushuang. When Chen Tianlong is defeated, Lin Batian would also be targeted by Chu Jingyun.
Meanwhile, Xu Kan could reap the benefits on both sides. On one hand, he could deal with Chen Tianlong, and on the other, capitalize on Lin Batian being handled by Young Master Chu to strike the Chen Group a blow. Just like the previous crisis in the Chen Group, with Chu Jingyun as a powerful backer, making a comeback and tripping up the Lin Group was not just a dream.
Furthermore, he also heard that the second-largest shareholders in the Chen Group had fallen into Chen Tianlong’s hands. The previous person in charge continued to handle matters and was slowly retiring, while Chen Tianlong would provide 30% of the shareholder dividends as the retirement fund for the previous second-largest shareholder.
