Chapter 1389: Chapter 1382: I Want to Talk to You

Yang Tiansi slowly opened his mouth to speak, his eyes carrying a trace of seriousness. Although he might come off as a bit of a playboy, it didn’t mean he was a fool. Otherwise, the Yang Family wouldn’t have entrusted the matters of Jiangnan to him. He understood well that if it was merely a commercial confrontation with Bai’s Group or the surface industries of the Lu Family, that would just be normal business competition. A company swallowing another company was quite common. But if there was official intervention, the nature of it would change, potentially making the situation much worse and even uncontrollable.

If it truly reached that point, once the investigations came down from above, the consequences would be unimaginable, and even the Yang Family wouldn’t be able to withstand it. After all, no matter how strong a family is, it is still just a family and not a country; it can never compete against the violent machinery of the state.

Moreover, if there was official intervention, then the Yanhuang Group would definitely get involved. With Sima Lingyun’s personality, he might just help Lu Tianxing and support Bai’s Group, which was the last thing he wanted to see.

After hearing Yang Tiansi’s words, Jiang Haochen nodded and said, ”In that case, let’s do it this way. Our Jiang Feng Group is at least one of the top ten groups in China, so swallowing a small Bai’s Group is relatively easy. However, Brother Yang, as far as I know, Bai’s Group has recently reached a strategic cooperation with the internationally renowned Angel Group. If we rashly make a move on Bai’s Group, there’s no guarantee that Angel Group won’t intervene. Also, I heard that Bai Zhiqing has a good relationship with Lin Yafei, the daughter of the Jin City Lin Family. Lin Group is the number one group in Jin City. What if they intervene?”

”Young Master Jiang, you’re overthinking. I can assure you that the Angel Group won’t get involved. You’re not unfamiliar with the nature of those Caucasians; it’s all about interests. They won’t be so foolish as to take on Bai’s Group and our top Chinese groups. Moreover, I will send someone to negotiate with Angel Group. Whatever Bai’s Group can offer them, we can offer the same. I think they will understand that discretion is the better part of valor. As for the Lin Group, a group run by a woman is not worth considering. If they dare to intervene, then let them disappear along with Bai’s Group. Speaking of which, I’ve heard Lin Group’s CEO Lin Yafei is a stunning beauty. I wouldn’t mind trying her out.”

At this point, a trace of fervor flashed across Yang Tiansi’s face.

”Then let’s do as you said. I’ll go back and inform my father, and have him contact Jiang Feng Group’s partners. This time, we’ll muster all our strength to make Bai’s Group history. As for the Lu Family, if they dare to intervene, we’ll eliminate them as well.”

After speaking, Jiang Haochen stood up and walked outside. This time, the Jiang Family had no retreat. No matter what, they had to obliterate the Lu Family; otherwise, the Jiang Family would be in danger.

Watching Jiang Haochen leave, Yang Tiansi’s face revealed a cold smile, which quickly vanished without a trace. He picked up the red wine from the coffee table, poured himself a glass, and sat on the sofa, leisurely taking a sip.

...

Meanwhile, in another direction, Lu Tianxing had already driven to the Suzhou Garden Hotel, where they had stayed last time.

After parking the car in the hotel’s outdoor parking lot, Lu Tianxing unbuckled his seatbelt. Just as he got out of the car, he saw Bai Zhiqing getting out from the passenger seat with a phone in hand, walking toward him: ”Tianxing, Grandpa wants to talk to you.”

With that, Bai Zhiqing handed the phone to Lu Tianxing.

Lu Tianxing nodded and took the phone from Bai Zhiqing’s hand: ”Grandpa.”

”Tianxing, how are you? Are you alright? Were you hurt, did the Yanhuang Group do anything to you? Tell Grandpa, and he will stand up for you.”

Before Lu Tianxing could finish speaking, Bai Qiao Mountain’s caring voice had already reached his ears.

Listening to Bai Qiao Mountain’s words, a warmth spread in Lu Tianxing’s heart. Smiling, he said, ”Grandpa, I’m fine. The Yanhuang Group doesn’t dare to do anything to me, rest assured.”

”As long as you’re okay. Tianxing, I can’t help you this time, the fights between families can’t be interfered with on an official level. You and Zhiqing need to be careful, okay?”

”Grandpa, I’ll make sure to protect myself. While I’m not in Modu, you and Grandma have to take good care of yourselves.”

”I know that.”

Bai Qiao Mountain nodded, hesitated for a moment, and said, ”Tianxing, Manman heard last night that you were taken by the Yanhuang Group. She originally wanted to go to Jinling, but when she heard you were fine, she went to Jiangnan instead. She probably arrived in Jiangnan this morning.”

”Manman came to Jiangnan?”

Lu Tianxing couldn’t help but frown, taking a deep breath, he said, ”Grandpa, I understand. I’ll call Manman later and have her come find me. Don’t worry!”

”Hmm.”

Bai Qiao Mountain nodded and said; ”Tianxing, about the Lu Family matter...”

”Grandpa, you heard about it.”

”Hmm, an old friend called me. Your grandpa, he really...”

Before Bai Qiao Mountain could finish, Lu Tianxing already started laughing and said, ”Grandpa, for some people, my grandfather is already dead, but for others, he’s still alive. It just depends on who is the smartest.”

Listening dumbfoundedly to Lu Tianxing’s words, Bai Qiao Mountain was momentarily stunned, but quickly realized, laughing heartily, ”I knew that old guy wouldn’t die so easily. He recently said he wanted to play chess with me and beat me without leaving a single piece. How could he just suddenly die? Good, good, as long as he’s alive. But, Tianxing, you need to be careful in Jiangnan. The Lu Family offended too many people back then, someone might still want to harm you.”

”I know, I’ll be careful.”

”Hmm, then I won’t disturb you. I’m going to catch up on some sleep and have a good rest.”

After speaking, the person on the other end of the line hung up directly.

Hearing the busy tone from the other end, Lu Tianxing hesitated not a moment. He picked up the phone and dialed Mandala. It didn’t take long for the call to be connected: ”Manman, did you come to Jiangnan?”

”Brother, are you okay? Where are you now, I’ll come over to find you right away.”

The voice of Mandala came through the phone, filled with concern and tension.

”I’m fine. I’m at the Suzhou Garden Hotel now. Please come over quickly. I’ll inform the front desk. Once you’re here, they’ll bring you directly to me.”

”Okay, brother, I’ve already arrived in Jiangnan, and I’ll come over immediately.”

”Alright, take care of yourself.”

Lu Tianxing gave Mandala a brief reminder, said nothing further, and hung up the phone.

”Tianxing, Manman is in Jiangnan? Will she be in any danger on her own?” Bai Zhiqing couldn’t help but ask after seeing Lu Tianxing hang up the phone.

”It’s fine. I’m well aware of Manman’s capabilities. Anyone underestimating her is bound to regret it. Don’t worry, let’s check into a room first. You didn’t get any rest last night, so take a good rest first.”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Bai Zhiqing, whose dark circles were quite noticeable, his eyes reflecting a gentle expression as he took her hand and walked into the hotel.

Bai Zhiqing leaned into Lu Tianxing’s embrace like a little bird relying on people, her delicate face carrying a hint of warmth.

After taking out his ID to register at the front desk, Lu Tianxing informed the receptionist that someone would come looking for him shortly. After he told them his room number, he took Bai Zhiqing to the hotel suite.

”Sima Lingyun, what are you doing here?” Just as they passed a corner, Lu Tianxing’s gaze fell forward, and he spoke in a deep voice.

”Is it strange for me to be here? It’s not difficult for me to find out where you are.”

Sima Lingyun looked at Lu Tianxing and said, ”I wonder if you have time; I’d like to have a chat with you.”

”A chat?”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Sima Lingyun and then at Bai Zhiqing. Before Lu Tianxing could speak, Sima Lingyun had already said, ”I’ll have the Yanhuang Group people protect Miss Bai around here until you come back.”

Hearing Sima Lingyun’s words, Lu Tianxing remained silent for a moment, then nodded and said, ”Zhiqing, you go rest in the room first. I’ll go have a talk with Sima Lingyun.”

”Okay, be careful.”

Bai Zhiqing nodded and said nothing more, taking the room card from Lu Tianxing’s hand and heading towards the hotel room.

”Let’s go!”

Lu Tianxing glanced at Sima Lingyun, then turned and walked outside.

Fifteen minutes later, in a private room of a specialty restaurant not far from the Suzhou Garden Hotel.

Lu Tianxing and Sima Lingyun sat there, several dishes placed on the table in front of them, the faint aroma filling the room, with a few bottles of beer on the table as well.

Lu Tianxing casually took a cigarette from his pocket and lit it for himself, looking at Sima Lingyun as he said, ”Sima Lingyun, just say it! Why did you want to talk to me today? Don’t tell me you just wanted to treat me to a meal.”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Sima Lingyun took a deep breath and said, ”Judge, I’m immensely sorry for Old Master Lu’s death, but I hope you think twice before acting on certain matters.”

”Think twice?”

A mocking smile appeared on Lu Tianxing’s face as he said indifferently, ”Sima Lingyun, you shouldn’t be saying that to me, but to those families, asking them to think twice. Do you really think, given the current situation, that they would let me go?”

Hearing Lu Tianxing’s words, Sima Lingyun sighed. The outcome was obvious even without thinking. Those families would never let Lu Tianxing go, and they would do everything they could to annihilate him. After all, the rumor outside was that Lu Tianxing was one of the two prodigious geniuses of the Lu Family. No one would allow Lu Tianxing to continue growing. If he did, it would be their nightmare. The best way to prevent this prodigy from growing was to nip it in the bud, ensuring there would be no further worries.
