It wasn't strange at all. Ever since Aurora boarded the ship, she had noticed Zhang Caifeng's feelings for Ling Tian were very special.
Zhang Caifeng's infatuation with Ling Tian was unconcealed, blatant.
Aurora could also tell that Ling Tian had a good impression of Zhang Caifeng, but Ling Tian was deliberately avoiding something.
Ling Tian occupied a very important position in the hearts of these two women, and naturally, he became the topic of conversation between them.
When Zhang Caifeng learned that Aurora was going back with Ling Tian, she was filled with envy.
Aurora told Zhang Caifeng that she would find an opportunity to speak well for her, and perhaps one day, Ling Tian could take Zhang Caifeng home too.
A week later, after a journey of several thousand kilometers, the Oriental Princess arrived at a port in southern Australia.
Ling Tian bid farewell to Dongfang Yunying and others, preparing to take a vehicle to the airport, as they were to fly directly back to China from there.
However, as soon as they reached the dock, a motorcade of several luxury cars arrived in front of Ling Tian and Aurora.
Leading the procession was a Rolls-Royce Phantom. Two stunning women in their early twenties, with explosive figures and attractive appearances, alighted from the car.
These women clearly looked like sisters, their faces carved from the same mold, making it difficult for ordinary people to distinguish between them.
Aurora introduced them to Ling Tian, stating they were her confidantes, her left and right hands.
Although Aurora lived on Hell Paradise Island year-round, she still needed people to manage her businesses and assets outside the island.
And this pair of sisters were the ones who helped Aurora manage her businesses.
"Young Madam, something has happened!" one of the women said with a grave expression, then handed over a document, placing it directly into Aurora's hands.
Aurora opened the document and read its contents, her expression instantly turning somber, her face as cold as frost.
"It seems my two foolish brothers haven't learned a simple lesson yet: greed can kill!"
After speaking, Aurora turned to Ling Tian with an apologetic look.
"I'm sorry, Ling Tian. Some unforeseen matters require my attention, so I can't return to China with you for the time being. But don't worry, I'll find you in China once I've dealt with this."
"What happened? Do you need my help?" Ling Tian asked with concern.
"It's nothing. My two foolish brothers are dissatisfied with my father's inheritance distribution plan. They're after my share!"
In fact, it wasn't entirely the fault of Aurora's two brothers. Mario Kuiette had made his will in advance, dividing his assets into three parts. The portion left to Aurora was more than the combined portions of her two brothers, which naturally caused their dissatisfaction.
Thus, Aurora's two brothers began to stir up trouble, intending to seize Aurora's assets.
Ling Tian listened and didn't find it strange, as not long ago, the Wang family's division had also been a messy affair, with family members nearly coming to blows over trivial benefits.
"Alright, you go handle your matters. I'll wait for you in China!
If you need any help, just ask!"
"There's no need. My two brothers are actually idiots! Dealing with them will only take a moment!"
Aurora said this with full confidence. She was highly valued by Mario Kuiette, not just because she possessed supernatural abilities.
In terms of intelligence, business acumen, and even strategic talent, Aurora far surpassed her two brothers.
It was just that Aurora was engrossed in cultivating her supernatural abilities and hadn't focused her energy on these matters.
Ling Tian's expression turned serious: "Aurora, we have a saying in China: even when hunting a rabbit, one must use full strength!
There are still many threats in this world that can endanger us. Remember not to underestimate your opponents!
Be especially careful of your two brothers using underhanded tactics!
Remember, no matter what, your personal safety should be your highest priority!"
"Okay, I understand! With the equipment you gave me, and the cultivation techniques and arts you taught me, I'm very confident!
Even if I encounter a strong enemy, I will escape promptly. Don't worry..."
After speaking, Aurora stepped forward, hugged Ling Tian, and gave him a kiss before turning around, getting into the car with her two assistants, and driving away.
Ling Tian turned around, about to rejoin his group, when he was met with Zhang Caifeng's reproachful gaze.
Ling Tian felt a bit awkward. He had refused Zhang Caifeng's affections multiple times, citing that he already had a fiancée.
But now, kissing another woman in front of so many people, the excuses he used to fend off Zhang Caifeng seemed rather weak.
Zhang Caifeng walked up to Ling Tian and said firmly, "Ling Tian, I don't need any special title. I want to be like Aurora!"
"Uh... let's talk about it later!"
...
The plane landed at the Beijing airport, and a car took Ling Tian directly to a villa area in the western suburbs of Beijing. There, Ling Tian examined the health of several elderly individuals with special identities and provided them with appropriate treatment.
Ling Tian had been away for nearly three months on this trip. Fortunately, he had left sufficient medication and devised corresponding treatment plans before his departure, so the conditions of these elderly individuals had not worsened.
After leaving the western suburban villas, Ling Tian went directly to the Wang family's mansion in Beijing. Wang Bingxia was already waiting there. Upon hearing the news of Ling Tian's return, she had flown there immediately.
They didn't exchange many words upon meeting. As the saying goes, a brief separation is better than a new marriage. The feelings of separation and longing from three months melted away in a passage of forty thousand words of indescribable intimacy.
It wasn't until the sun was high in the sky the next day that they reluctantly got out of bed. They still had to rush back to Jiangshan City.
Ling Tian's private jet was now ready. They arrived at the airport and didn't even need to wait in line. The plane took off directly, heading for Jiangshan City.
On the plane, Ling Tian inquired about the development of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical over the past few months.
Wang Bingxia had now graduated from university and officially joined Bing Tian Pharmaceutical as the financial director.
Unexpectedly, a hint of anger flashed across Wang Bingxia's face.
"Ling Tian, Bing Tian Pharmaceutical has been facing great difficulties these past two months..."
After hearing Wang Bingxia's description, Ling Tian was greatly alarmed. In the two months he had been away, Bing Tian Pharmaceutical had fallen into severe trouble.
First and foremost, the approval process for several new drugs from Bing Tian Pharmaceutical had become indefinitely delayed.
It was known that new drug approvals could take three to five years, or even longer.
