Chapter 497: Preparing to Attack Tranquil Sect
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Amidst the laughter, the Land Rover sped out of Wenzhou City quickly, reaching the highway.
Once they got on the highway, Tie Xiaohu stepped up the gas, speeding up drastically. The vehicle moved as fast as lightning.
In the vehicle, Tang Meng began to report the progress of the matters he was handling to Ling Yun.
Qingshui City’s original Public Security Bureau Director, Luo Zhong, was finished. The evidence of his corruption was stacked high. From the launch of an investigation on an official’s corruption, it had turned into a condemnation of a convict. It was likely that he was going to be sentenced to imprisonment indefinitely.
The one who replaced him was Tang Meng’s father, Tang Tianhao. Now, he had officially taken over the position. He sat securely in the position as the Public Security Director.
Luo Zhong was done for. Tian Botao, who took the lead to destroy Ling Yun’s house, wasn’t in a good situation either. Not only was his power and wealth taken away, but he was also dealing with an investigation from the new Public Security Bureau Director, Tang Tianhao. He had plenty of corruption charges filed against him, which sent him straight to jail. By now, they handed the issue to the Legal Department.
Furthermore, another person, Gou Lianshan, was still in the Public Security Bureau’s custody. Even though Gou Liancheng had used many connections to attempt to get his younger brother out, it was a shame that the Public Security Bureau Director had been changed. Furthermore, Gou Liancheng was also captured. His own authority and position were at stake, so he was obviously in no position to save his brother.
The place that Ling Yun told Tang Meng to buy for Yao Rou was already purchased before he went out to sea. Now, the renovations were complete, and Yao Rou was staying there.
However, Tang Meng’s protection over Long Wu wasn’t a direct order. This was a matter that he had told Ling Yun about secretly. Luckily, the two of them understood each other completely. Ling Yun understood the meaning behind his words.
Liu Li and her family had moved into their new mansion as well. It was because Ling Yun took special care of them. Acting as the middleman, Tang Meng gifted the family an entire set of furniture, as well as a new sedan that was worth two hundred thousand.
“When we return, transfer them another million. Don’t tell me that they can afford to live in a mansion and have a car but can’t afford to pay the bills for it afterward. That’ll be our fault then…”
Ling Yun said this to Tang Meng, who nodded and grunted in agreement. He thought that Ling Yun was way too nice to this family. He wondered if Liu Li had caught his eye.
Furthermore, during the time Ling Yun was out at sea, Liu Li had secretly come to find out about Ling Yun’s whereabouts without her husband and in-law’s knowledge. The expression on her face got more worried each time she asked. This made Tang Meng question their relations.h.i.+p.
Ling Yun’s clinic was thoroughly remodeled this time. It was prepared with everything it needed. Once Ling Yun returned and decided on an opening day, it would be ready to operate.
As for Ling Yun’s Xiangxi clothing shop, the shop was already opened thanks to Tang Meng. Under w.a.n.g Hongyuan’s management, the business was thriving.
w.a.n.g Hongyuan was the Shandong man who gave the clinic to Ling Yun. After the matter with the Xiangxi people, he put up all of his property in Qingshui for sale. He intended to return to his hometown in Shandong after that. However, Tang Meng convinced him to stay, inviting him to help manage the businesses for Ling Yun.
Ling Yun was w.a.n.g Hongyuan’s savior. To w.a.n.g Hongyuan, Ling Yun was a saint. Once he knew that he could manage a business for Ling Yun, he jumped into the deal immediately. Without even discussing any benefits, he started to work at the clothing shop on that same day.
Tang Meng definitely had the ability to spot talent and opportunities. w.a.n.g Hongyuan worked on the fas.h.i.+on retail business. On the other hand, the Xiangxi guy had many shops. With business-like judgment, Tang Meng truly utilized the resources on hand to their best. Who else should he have hired?
Before Ling Yun went to sea, he ordered Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu to use ten million each to prepare twenty million worth of medical supplies. Tang Meng had completed his acquisition as well. Those supplies currently sat in Mansion Number One, absorbing Qi.
Speaking of supplies, Tang Meng also informed Ling Yun that the loan of two billion was finalized. All of it entered their account, and he established a pharmaceutical company and property agency with that money. All the doc.u.ments were completed, and he finished obtaining all the licenses they needed. The only thing left was the date of the opening day.
All of that was good news. Obviously, there were some urgent and difficult matters to tend to as well. Tang Meng wasn’t the type of person who hid bad news. There wasn’t a need for him to do that with Ling Yun.
With one word from Long Wu, Ling Yun sent Tie Xiaohu and his men to wreak havoc at Qingyun Productions’ office. In the end, the main branch’s CEO was enraged. He reported the case to Qingshui City’s Public Security Bureau, requesting that they investigate the case thoroughly and convict the people who destroyed his office!
“And? What happened after that?” Ling Yun felt that this was laughable. The perpetrator was himself, while the person who took the lead to fight at the office was the driver in the car now.
“My father just treated them as if they were farting. He shut the case down immediately, saying that he’d investigate the situation further before taking further action…” Tang Meng chuckled as he said this.
Ling Yun nodded. “Yes, that’s right. Well done. Tie Xiaohu, when they reopen, take some men and destroy the place again!”
Tie Xiaohu nodded decisively. With Qingshui City’s Immortal King’s words, there was no way Qingyun Productions could ever dream of thriving in Qingshui City again.
“Brother Yun, I want to start up a production company on my own. This is part of the entertainment industry. If we do it well, we can earn lots…”
Tang Meng had been thinking a lot about how Tie Xiaohu had torn his Qingyun Productions to pieces. He had originally planned to takeover Qingyun Productions, but after Tie Xiaohu went to make trouble, his plan became a mess. Furthermore, he did that under Ling Yun’s orders. Tang Meng could only treat it as his misfortune.
In reality, he was heartbroken about the money. If it wasn’t because he had a chance to take over the company, he would have been the first to destroy it with his own hands.
“Of course! As long as you feel that you can make a profit, go ahead and do it. Make the Heaven and Earth Group great!”
With Ling Yun’s enthusiasm, he thoroughly handed the reins to Tang Meng.
“I have to hire lots of people. Many, many more. Ah, I need to spend more money…” Thinking about the Heaven and Earth Group and his future career, his gaze was filled with enthusiasm and longing!
“Pfft…” Hearing this, Long Wu began giggling. She couldn’t help but say sweetly, “You want to start up all these companies, but you don’t want to spend any money to hire anyone. All of you are so naive…”
“Sister Long Wu is a law student that has graduated from Harvard. How would you feel about being a legal consultant for our Heaven and Earth Group?”
Seizing the opportunity, Tang Meng didn’t want to let go of such a good chance.
“No! I don’t have time for that!” Long Wu rejected the offer decisively. G.o.d, she had just started a relations.h.i.+p with Ling Yun. It was the time where they would flirt and be sweet with each other. When would she have time to work for Tang Meng?
Embarra.s.sed, Tang Meng’s face turned red. Watching this, Ling Yun, Bai Xianer, and Tie Xiaohu broke out into laughter.
“Brother Yun, lots of people have turned up in Qingshui City recently. And I heard my father say that each of them has a huge backing. In the future, we have to be more careful when we take action…”
After talking about all sorts of things, Tang Meng finally changed to a serious topic.
Ling Yun quietly thought for a bit before he nodded. He didn’t say anything in response to that.
“Brother Yun, lots of people have been looking for you as well…” Tang Meng continued.
Ling Yun smiled as he asked, “Oh? Who’s looking for me? Tell me about it.”
Tang Meng chuckled. Turning back, he looked at Long Wu carefully. However, he didn’t look at Bai Xianer on his left at all. He dared not look at Bai Xianer.
“Murong Feixue came to look for you twice. On the second time, she came with an old man. I heard that person was her grandfather. His name is Murong Wens.h.i.+.”
Long Wu’s heart leaped to her throat. She immediately turned to look at Ling Yun, her eyes filled with questions.
Without panicking, Ling Yun nodded and smiled. “Oh, they must be looking to thank me. I’ve saved her grandfather’s life before…”
This was the matter that gave Ling Yun a lump sum of one million and a Maserati from Murong Feixue. At the time, Ling Yun couldn’t drive yet, so the incident where he pushed the Maserati to school happened, shocking many people.
“And there were two cute little girls too. They came to Qingshui High together with their parents, saying that they wanted to see you…”
“Little girls?”
Ling Yun thought about it diligently. It was probably the time when he and Ning Er was at the scene of the car accident. That was where they met the two little girls. He had already completely forgotten about that matter. He didn’t expect them to remember him and even attempt to extend their grat.i.tude to him.
“Zhang Ling’s aunt personally came to me to ask me about you…”
It was Liang Fengyi. Hearing this, Ling Yun couldn’t help but reveal a smile.
“Anything else?”
“Yes! But this is something your cla.s.smate, Zhang Dong, told me. He said that the lady boss of the internet cafe you used to go to has been looking for you more urgently these days…”
Ling Yun scratched his head. He wondered why this woman was so determined. Didn’t he already tell Zhang Dong to keep the money for him?
“And also…”
Ling Yun was getting frustrated. He asked irritably, “What else?”
“Also, Zhuang Meina was searching for you like crazy. I heard she even went to Qingshui Wharf’s Mansion Number Nine on her own…”
Tang Meng looked at Long Wu carefully, but he was actually thinking about Zhuang Meina’s sister, Zhuang Meifeng!
“Ok…”
Ling Yun nodded gravely with a dark expression on his face. Evidently, he thought about Zhuang Meifeng too.
This time, his trip to the sea had given Ling Yun a huge boost in his fighting abilities. Furthermore, there was Bai Xianer, who was stronger by dozens of realms, by his side. Ling Yun had already decided long ago that after he returned, he had to find out the location of the Tranquil Sect from whoever he could. He had to invade their territory. He couldn’t let Zhuang Meifeng suffer in that place any longer!
Tang Meng didn’t say another word. Ling Yun didn’t say anything for a long time either. All of a sudden, the car fell into a deathly silence.
Suddenly, the Land Rover came to a stop!
Tie Xiaohu, who was focused on driving, rolled down his window and shouted, “Do you even know how to drive?”
Tang Meng sensed that something wasn’t right. He turned around at full alert!
Instantly, Ling Yun used his divine sense and examined what was happening around them in a twenty-meter radius!
Ling Yun’s eyes narrowed to slits!
The speeding Land Rover was suddenly surrounded by dozens of cars!
