Chapter 180: Chapter 180: Clash of Two Powerhouses
Ye Mingzhu walked onto the stage, and the glare of the spotlights made her momentarily dizzy.
All the reporters in the room shot to their feet. Cameras with long, cannon-like lenses were thrust forward, and countless phones were held aloft, all recording video.
The media began a frantic barrage of questions.
Meanwhile, the magnates of the Jinling Commerce Association, seated in the audience, stared at the woman on stage in shock.
’Longyue Group is this massive, and its CEO is such a young woman?’
"Find out everything you can about this Ye Mingzhu, immediately!"
Of course, they wouldn’t find much.
All they could find was that Ye Mingzhu had a degree in finance and had once been a junior employee at a multinational corporation. There was nothing else of note.
However, the rumors surrounding Ye Mingzhu were rather surprising.
"I heard this Ye Mingzhu is closely connected to the Black Dragon Bank!"
"Now that’s interesting. Black Dragon was just wiped out, and suddenly Ye Mingzhu is the CEO of Longyue Group?"
"Considering all the intel and information, the most likely scenario is that the person behind Longyue Group eliminated the Black Dragon Bank and absorbed Ye Mingzhu directly!"
The various powers and factions were all speculating.
Meanwhile, Longyue Group had already sent shockwaves through all of Jinling.
This was precisely the effect Qin Tianxuan wanted.
He said to Prince, "Ye Mingzhu will represent Longyue Group publicly. You will all operate from the shadows. To deal with the Ye Family, we need to be strategic. This time, they’ve sent an idiot named Luo Tianying. Investigate him thoroughly and get rid of that piece of trash as soon as possible!"
Prince didn’t dare to delay. After seeing Qin Tianxuan off, he immediately called his men at the Intelligence Hall.
He needed to investigate Luo Tianying and the Luo Family behind him as quickly as possible.
At that moment, Luo Tianying was in the Jinling Chu Family’s villa, glaring menacingly at Patriarch Chu Qianqiu.
"What’s the relationship between that Qin guy and your Chu Family?"
Luo Tianying tapped his fingers on the table impatiently. "Spit it out. I came to Jinling to make big moves, but unfortunately for him, that Qin Tianxuan has offended me. So, your Chu Family had better think carefully about your position!"
Chu Qianqiu hastily explained.
He eagerly recounted an embellished version of Qin Tianxuan’s background, finally declaring that as long as Young Master Luo wished it, the Chu Family would cooperate fully to ensure Qin Tianxuan was finished for good.
But Luo Tianying had come to the Chu Family with ill intent. Hearing Chu Qianqiu’s words, he stood up abruptly. "Excellent. In that case, starting now, hand over your family enterprise’s official seal and all your financial accounts. I’ll be sending my own people to manage your company!"
What?
Chu Qianqiu was dumbfounded. "Young Master Luo, what do you mean?"
"I mean exactly what I said. I’m acquiring your Chu Family. I like to do things decisively. As for the price for your family enterprise... we’ll talk about that later!"
Luo Tianying casually grabbed a slip of paper and signed his name. "Here. This is my IOU. Once my business in Jinling is concluded, the funds for the acquisition of your Chu Family will be transferred to your account."
’This... this is outright robbery!’
’Trying to get something for nothing?’
’He expects to take our family’s enterprise with a single IOU?’
Chu Qianqiu panicked, forcing a trembling smile. "Young Master Luo, this... this isn’t right. This isn’t how a partnership works. Taking my enterprise with just an IOU... that’s completely unreasonable!"
"Unreasonable?" Luo Tianying snatched the teacup from the table and—CRASH!—smashed it over Chu Qianqiu’s head.
"I think you old fool needs to wake up! Unreasonable? I think it’s perfectly reasonable!"
Luo Tianying gave a slight wave of his hand, and the men he had brought with him rushed in and seized Chu Qianqiu.
"This is how I, Luo Tianying, do business!"
The young master of the Luo Family found it all rather boring. He acted this way even in the Imperial Capital, yet here in this tiny city of Jinling, there were still people who were blind to his status.
"Finish up with the Chu Family. We’re moving on to the next one!"
"I want every company on this list acquired, by any means necessary!"
Following the rise of the Longyue Group, the Luo Family was also frantically expanding its own power.
Forceful acquisitions, coercion, enticement—they were using every trick in the book.
All resources acquired through this expansion were immediately absorbed into the Linghai National Medicine Group, which was under Luo Tianying’s control.
Jinling City was about to become the battleground for two corporate behemoths: Longyue and Linghai!
When two powers clash, the outcome is anyone’s guess.
Meanwhile, Qin Tianxuan was on his way to Shenghua Hospital.
The so-called Medical God Little Fairy, Gu Qingzhi, had already been brought to the hospital.
Qin Tianxuan felt a knot of anxiety in his stomach, wondering if this Gu Qingzhi could truly work a miracle.
Weiwei’s condition couldn’t wait any longer.
She had been in a coma for so long!
Before he even reached the hospital, he received a call from Ye Xuanxuan.
The girl had been put in confinement and was about to go stir-crazy.
"Brother-in-law, I’m begging you! I’ll do anything you ask, just let me out! I’m going to die of boredom in here!"
Qin Tianxuan replied coolly, "So now you’re calling me Brother-in-law? You need to fix your bad habits, one by one. I’ve arranged for some instructors to train you, starting with self-control. That’s all, I’m busy."
He hung up, ignoring Ye Xuanxuan’s wails on the other end of the line.
When he arrived at the special ward of Shenghua Hospital, Gu Qingzhi had been settled in a private lounge.
Qin Tianxuan took a deep breath and stepped into the room.
He saw a frail-looking girl sitting there, paging through a medical text.
Her skin was dark and her hair had a yellowish tint, giving her a malnourished appearance.
’Just as the old man from the Gu Family said. Gu Qingzhi really isn’t as presentable as Gu Yingying.’
Qin Tianxuan knocked softly on the door. "Miss Gu Qingzhi?"
