Chapter 1339: Chapter 1339: Business Card
"Give him a name card." Lin Tian said tirelessly, his back facing the two of them.
There are many ways to solve a problem. It can be simple or complex. The simple way is to hand over a name card directly. It’s not about giving Cheng Dazui face, but rather providing him with a sense of intimidation. The words ’Black Gold Security Co., Ltd.’ on the card explain a lot.
As for the complex way, it inevitably involves some action. But right now, he doesn’t want to stir up trouble, he just wants to wait for Wu Yong, Liou Qingcheng, and the others to finish the rescue operation.
Li would never go against Lin Tian’s words. As a brother, he wouldn’t in the past, and now as his subordinate, he certainly wouldn’t.
He took out a brown leather wallet from his pocket, pulled out a name card from it, and handed it to Cheng Dazui casually.
Cheng Dazui has handed over many name cards to others and received many from others.
Poor people offer cigarettes, rich people offer name cards. It’s all just a form of social interaction.
Since it’s a form of social interaction, etiquette becomes quite important. The proper way to hand over a name card is with both hands, not carelessly like Li did, as if he had no intention of making friends.
Additionally, this gesture conveys another very important message.
Daring to hand over a name card so casually, one is either extremely confident or a fool.
But given the current situation, Cheng Dazui doesn’t think these two arrogantly bold young men are the latter.
Cheng Dazui also knows that the relationship between him and them is already strained. Just feeling upset, he quickly accepted the name card and looked at its content.
The main color of the name card is black, with a gold border, and there is a golden logo resembling a diamond at the top left corner. Below, in golden script, it reads: Black Gold Security Co., Ltd. The back bears Li’s name, position, and phone number.
It’s a simple yet extraordinary name card, prompting Cheng Dazui to take a second look at the backs of Li and Lin Tian and start to have doubts.
After having lived in Kanyue City for over a decade, Cheng Dazui’s social circles are widespread, and he’s heard many things about Black Gold Security Company at drinking tables. It’s quite notorious, and he didn’t expect to encounter it today! What a damn unlucky day!
According to what Cheng Dazui knows, the predecessor of Black Gold Security Company is the second largest gang in Kanyue City’s underground world—Xianglong Tea House.
Now it has rebranded, changing the name, but it is no different from the former Xianglong Tea House. The key point is, even after Du Dahai was wiped out by the police, these people still stand strong in Kanyue City, transforming into legitimate hooligans, dabbling in both legal and illegal businesses—quite extraordinary!
Cheng Dazui had anticipated that the other side might be tricky, but he didn’t expect it to be of a black nature. If this matter isn’t handled well, it will become even more complicated later.
Cheng Dazui respectfully put away Li’s name card, once again holding his own name card with both hands, and offered it to Li.
He had handed a name card in the farmhouse previously, but... the other party didn’t even glance at it.
In the end, Li still accepted the name card, but he didn’t even look at it before stuffing it into his pocket. Then he gave Cheng Dazui a glance, implying ’Can you leave now?’
Cheng Dazui didn’t leave, he glanced at the door of the emergency room twice, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Li, is it convenient for you to disclose if the friends being rescued are also employees of Black Gold Security?"
Li didn’t want to say much, only responding casually, "Most are, including the chairman and several core executives of Black Gold."
Originally, this question was a bit private, but Li openly answered it. He didn’t believe Cheng Dazui could cause them further harm.
"Understood, understood. Then I won’t disturb you anymore. I’ll come to visit them when your friends’ conditions improve." Cheng Dazui said with a grin and then left with his people.
After Cheng Dazui left, Lin Tian lit up another cigarette, but just held it between his fingers, asking without turning his head, "Did he also give you a name card? What’s his background?"
Li took out the name card from his pocket and glanced at it, smiling, "A manager from an unheard-of company, not worth bothering with."
"Hmm." Lin Tian nodded. He’s never been interested in companies or the like, and judging by Cheng Dazui’s lack of confidence, there’s nothing to fear—it doesn’t even pique his curiosity to investigate.
...
Back in the car, Cheng Dazui felt quite different from Lin Tian. Black Gold in Kanyue City is like a local snake, and even a snake is venomous.
While asking the driver to turn the air conditioning to the max, Cheng Dazui took out his cellphone and made a call.
This call was to the farmhouse, where he had already dispatched someone to investigate the scene. Someone had food poisoning in the farmhouse, and it couldn’t be easily ignored!
Disappointingly, nothing was found; both the wine and meat had been tested and showed no issues.
Could all the poisonous stuff have been eaten?
This result was possible, so they could only wait for the hospital’s test results.
Afterward, Cheng Dazui sat in the car for several more minutes before finally deciding to report the matter. Things he couldn’t handle shouldn’t be stubbornly held; the consequence would only be a worse downfall.
...
Inside the hospital.
Lin Tian had smoked four cigarettes one after another and eventually, feeling frustrated, began pacing back and forth by the window.
Li, after smoking two, sat next to Xv Qinghuan, leaning forward with his head down, looking dejected.
Xv Qinghuan gently patted her boyfriend’s back, her eyes filled with care and distress.

The sound of the door opening wasn’t loud, but it resounded in the quiet corridor. The operating room door opened slightly!
Both Li and Xv Qinghuan stood up, and Lin Tian quickly walked over. They saw a middle-aged male doctor wearing a mask and surgical gown standing at the operating room door.
"Doctor, how is my friend?" Li asked anxiously.
"Except for the pregnant woman, the others are quite well. They’ve undergone gastric lavage and can be transferred to the ward to rest now. Try not to disturb them," the doctor said calmly.
Although Lin Tian practices ancient medicine, he knows what gastric lavage is. It’s an extremely painful process, where a sterilized gastric tube, about 45cm long, is inserted through the nose or mouth.
At this point, the stomach is like a toilet undergoing repetitive flushing, a process of suffocation and breathlessness, almost worse than death.
Thinking of the gastric lavage process Liou Qingcheng just went through, Lin Tian felt a wave of heartache. He wished he could sit by her hospital bed now and use Spiritual Qi to warm her body.
