Regarding Wang Bingxia's father, Wang Qing Tian, who is also Ling Tian's father-in-law, his recent arrest is reportedly due to a complaint filed by a company named Gustav Pharmaceuticals against a Chinese-American employee. According to the employee's confession, for several consecutive years, he had been stealing new drug formulas from Gustav Pharmaceuticals' laboratories and selling them to Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals.
Among these drugs were Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals' flagship products: Bing Tian Xiao Ke Wan, used to treat type 2 diabetes, and Bing Tian Zheng Qi Tang, used to treat cancer.
The arrested employee also stated that he was instructed to do so by Wang Qing Tian, the president of Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals.
Consequently, the United States issued a warrant for Wang Qing Tian's arrest, and Maple Leaf Country, as a colony, faithfully executed the orders of its suzerain nation.
Wang Qing Tian has now been apprehended and will soon be brought to the United States for trial.
Ling Tian had not yet closed his computer when Wang Bingxia's call came through. Her voice was choked with tears.
"Ling Tian, my dad..."
"Bing Xia, don't say anything else. Leave this matter to me!" Ling Tian interrupted her directly.
"Ling Tian, I'll bring people to Maple Leaf Country right away to find the best lawyers!" Wang Bingxia said tearfully.
"Bing Xia, you need to calm down! Listen to me. You absolutely cannot go to Maple Leaf Country or the United States right now, or you might get caught up in it too! I suspect there's more to this story. Their real target might be Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals or its product formulas!" Ling Tian said very calmly.
"But, but I have to do something right now! He's my father!" Wang Bingxia sounded agitated.
"Bing Xia, do you trust me!" Ling Tian's tone suddenly became extremely serious, which momentarily stunned Wang Bingxia.
"Ling Tian, of course, I trust you!"
"Since you trust me, then listen to me! There are two urgent matters right now. The first is to gather as much intelligence as possible to understand what's going on, who is behind this, and what their objectives are! I will handle this!"
As Ling Tian spoke, he meticulously controlled his vocal cords, imbuing his words with a special frequency. Sound itself is a form of vibration. This unique frequency, even over the phone, could influence the listener's emotions. Strictly speaking, this wasn't a magical technique but an advanced application of hypnosis. However, the ability to control one's vocal cords and sound frequencies to such an extreme degree is possessed by very few people worldwide. Ling Tian had combined the hypnotic techniques taught by his masters with some cultivation methods from the Myriad Laws Pavilion in the Spirit Realm, creating a unique skill.
As expected, after hearing Ling Tian's voice, Wang Bingxia felt as if a red-hot iron had been doused with ice water. Despite her burning anxiety, she forced herself to calm down. This wasn't solely due to Ling Tian's hypnotic technique; more importantly, it was Wang Bingxia's absolute trust in him.
Ling Tian continued, "The second important matter is to stabilize the situation. No matter what, Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals cannot fall into chaos. If it does, it will play right into the hands of some people. As long as Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals remains stable, your father will be fine! With your father absent and grandfather being elderly, I need to go rescue your father. Therefore, stabilizing the overall situation falls to you, Bing Xia!"
"Okay, Ling Tian, I'll listen to you. I will definitely stabilize Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals. I'll entrust my father to you!"
Ling Tian hung up the phone and went directly to the rooftop upstairs. Aurora was cultivating on a cold jade bed that Ling Tian had crafted for her using ten-thousand-year-old ice marrow and jade. Aurora's ability was initially an innate talent. Now that she was practicing ice-attribute cultivation techniques, her ability and strength were growing by leaps and bounds. Especially after she began dual cultivation with Ling Tian, she felt a transformative change.
In fact, having ice-attribute abilities also caused some damage to Aurora's body, though the damage was not significant. It was similar to hidden injuries sustained by martial artists; they were not apparent during normal times but would erupt when the person grew old, became frail, or suffered severe illness or injury. Through dual cultivation with Ling Tian, the warm true essence from Ling Tian's body entered hers, replenishing and repairing her hidden injuries, which led to Aurora's remarkable progress.
Ling Tian directly woke Aurora, who was cultivating, and Zhang Cai Feng, who was drawing talismans.
"Aurora, Cai Feng, we need to go to the capital and the United States. Bing Xia's father is in trouble..."
Upon hearing Ling Tian's words, both women immediately became concerned. Ling Tian's women had very good relationships with each other; there was no jealousy or competition among them. Instead, they supported and helped each other, like sisters. Ling Tian then recounted the events at Wang Bingxia's home to the two women.
"Aurora, I suspect this matter is definitely related to the Americans. I need to go to the United States immediately to resolve this. I need you to go to Maple Leaf Country and use your connections abroad to ensure Wang Qing Tian's safety. Cai Feng, your mission is to go to the capital and stay by Bing Xia's side to protect her. Most importantly, keep an eye on Bing Xia and prevent her from impulsively going to the United States or Maple Leaf Country!"
The two women nodded in response to Ling Tian's instructions. An hour later, a private jet departed from Jiangshan City International Airport for the capital. This Gulfstream G650 was Aurora Cui'er's private jet, which had been parked in their rented hangar since Aurora began staying with Ling Tian. Since Ling Tian's previous encounter with a plane crash, he had not purchased any more aircraft. Fortunately, Ling Tian now had two spirit beasts, Albatross and Sea Eagle, whose flight speeds, while slightly slower than airplanes, offered greater convenience and safety.
They soon arrived in the capital and headed directly to Bing Tian Pharmaceuticals' headquarters there. Qiu Hong also arrived upon hearing the news. In the president's office, Ling Tian met Wang Bing Xia, whose eyes were swollen from crying. Upon seeing Ling Tian, Wang Bing Xia immediately threw herself into his arms, tears flowing uncontrollably. Ling Tian patted her shoulder, exerting considerable effort to calm her down.
"It's alright, Bing Xia. With me here, your father will be fine! This is not the time for crying; we need to find a solution. Look, Sister Qiu Hong is here. She must have investigated something!"
The group gathered in the adjacent conference room. Qiu Hong inserted a USB drive into the projector, and relevant information soon appeared on the wall.
