As the president of the Jiangshan City Chamber of Commerce, Lin Xiangcai possessed a very clear understanding of the strength of the merchants and families in the city.
He was even privy to the connections these families had and who stood behind them.
Old Master Wang and Lin Xiangcai had been acquainted for decades. Whenever there were events like weddings, funerals, or other significant occasions in either family, invitations were always extended to each other.
He had never heard of the Wang family having any dealings with Lawyer Zhu from the Ba Fang Tong Da Law Firm in the capital. The Wang family had always engaged local law firms for their legal matters.
Furthermore, Lin Xiangcai knew very well that the linchpin of the Wang family was Old Master Wang.
Of his three sons, two were useless, decadent wastrels. Wang Qing Tian, Ling Tian's father-in-law, though more steady, was only capable of maintaining the status quo and lacked the drive for expansion.
Now that Old Master Wang was incarcerated and isolated from the outside world, the Wang family should have been in utter disarray. To his surprise, they had managed to bring in Lawyer Zhu!
Lawyer Zhu walked up to Old Master Wang Chunfeng and said with a smile, "Old Master Wang, we are here to get you out. We have ample evidence to prove that you have no involvement in the cases related to Bai Jin Real Estate.
Even if you are to assist in the investigation, it has already exceeded the 48-hour mark. They have no reason to detain you further!"
"Thank you very much, Lawyer Zhu, but I would like to know who commissioned you?" Old Master Wang asked with great curiosity.
"Oh, elder, there's no harm in telling you. Our Ba Fang Tong Da Law Firm in the capital is a strategic partner of Tian Xi Group.
I am here on behalf of Tian Xi Group to represent you in this case!"
"So that's how it is!" Old Master Wang Chunfeng felt instantly reassured. Ling Tian had not hidden the existence of his six masters from the old man, especially since the old man knew that Ling Tian's fifth master was the renowned business magnate Gu Tian Xi.
In that case, it was no longer surprising that Ling Tian possessed such outstanding talent in business. With such high-level mentors imparting their knowledge, it would be strange if he didn't.
Meanwhile, Lin Xiangcai, at the other end of the reception room, was dumbfounded. He had never imagined that the Wang family had a connection with Tian Xi Group. He racked his brains but couldn't fathom any interaction between the Wang family and Tian Xi Group.
However, Lin Xiangcai soon found a reason to convince himself.
The reason Tian Xi Group was stepping forward for the Wang family was likely because Tian Xi Group had its sights set on Bing Tian Pharmaceutical!
It was known that since its establishment, Tian Xi Group had an almost perfect record in investments, acquisitions, or stakeholdings in companies, a miracle in China's business circles.
Currently, any company acquired by Tian Xi Group, or even rumored to be eyed by them, would see its stock price skyrocket.
Now that Ling Tian was dead, and although the Wang father and daughter held 40% of the shares in Bing Tian Pharmaceutical, their capabilities were insufficient to manage this cash cow.
Perhaps the Wang father and daughter, in their desperation to save Old Master Wang, were willing to transfer shares of Bing Tian Pharmaceutical to Tian Xi Group, which then agreed to intervene and rescue him!
At this moment, Old Master Wang approached Lin Xiangcai.
"Lin, I was blind to have known you. I've noted this down, and I will settle this score with you sooner or later!"
Upon hearing this, Lin Xiangcai's face turned extremely displeased.
"Old Wang, don't celebrate too soon. Things are not that simple. Although you've been released, who knows what price your family paid!
To put it bluntly, your Wang family has lost everything. What do you have to fight me with!"
"Fine, then we'll see!"
Old Master Wang Chunfeng left the detention center with Lawyer Zhu. Afterward, they went to Jiangshan City First People's Hospital for a comprehensive physical examination.
If Old Master Wang's health had deteriorated during his confinement, the lawyer would have sought trouble with those responsible.
Fortunately, Old Master Wang's health was very robust after Ling Tian's conditioning and treatment. Apart from recent sleep issues, he had no other discomforts.
Upon exiting the hospital, Old Master Wang saw his trusted aide, Chen Yi. Lawyer Zhu handed Old Master Wang over to Uncle Yi before departing.
"Master, are you alright?" Chen Yi asked with great concern.
"I'm fine. Let's go home!"
With that, Old Master Wang got into the car. As the car started, it did not head towards Wangjiazhuang.
Old Master Wang was a bit bewildered, "Old Chen, where are we going? This isn't the way to Wangjiazhuang."
"Master, we're not returning to Wangjiazhuang for now. It's a time of turmoil, and your safety cannot be guaranteed if we go back to Wangjiazhuang!"
Hearing Chen Yi's words, Old Master Wang felt a sense of unease, wondering if something had happened.
"Chen Yi, what exactly is going on?"
"Master, shortly after you were taken away that day, people from the Situ family broke into Ling Tian's home, intending to abduct Miss Bing Xia.
Fortunately, Bing Xia's two close friends intervened in time and dealt with those people. However, according to our assessment, our Wang family's defensive capabilities are sufficient against ordinary people, but they are no match for true martial arts experts like those from the Situ family."
"How could this happen? Where are Bing Xia and the others now? How is Bing Xia?" Old Master Wang became agitated upon hearing that his granddaughter was in danger.
"Master, please don't worry. Young Miss Bing Xia is blessed with good fortune and is perfectly fine. She is unharmed and has been taken away by people from Ling Tian's sixth master..."
It turned out that after the incident that day, Wang Bing Xia felt that things were not that simple and that the Situ family might not give up. Therefore, Wang Bing Xia directly called Qiu Hong. Upon hearing this, Qiu Hong was also greatly shocked and immediately dispatched people to escort Wang Bing Bing and the other two to a branch of Yan Yu Ge for protection.
The old man breathed a sigh of relief, "Then where are we going now?"
"To Long Pan Mountain! Ling Tian's master, Immortal Master Dao Yuan, is aware of our situation. He has asked you to stay on the mountain for a couple of days. Even if the Situ family becomes more arrogant, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble on Long Pan Mountain."
Upon hearing this, Old Master Wang nodded. This seemed to be the most secure option at the moment!
"Alright, then we'll go up the mountain and trouble Immortal Master Dao Yuan."
At this very moment, the bewildered Lin Xiangcai also left the detention center by car. In the car, he immediately called Situ Liuguang and reported the matter.
Upon hearing this, Situ Liuguang was furious!
