Leaving Tianyi Tower, Lu Fan came alone to the Tianfu Courtyard. Before he could enter, he saw several figures waiting quietly in the shadows.
"Mr. Lu!"
A voice rang out, and several figures appeared. Leading them was the Little White Dragon of the Azure Dragon Sect.
"Why are you here?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "Is there something going on?"
"Mr. Lu once said that he wanted to make a name for himself in Jiangnan and make the Azure Dragon Sect your sharp sword," Little White Dragon said solemnly. "Unfortunately, we've been blocked when we tried to develop in Xuzhou these past few days."
"Xuzhou? The most developed city in Jiangnan," Lu Fan smiled. "If we can develop there, it would indeed be a good choice!"
"It's a pity that Xuzhou has many forces, all with martial arts experts. The Azure Dragon Sect has tried to infiltrate several times but has had no success," Little White Dragon said helplessly. "If it weren't for this, I wouldn't have come to inform you."
"In that case, invite them all to a martial arts competition," Lu Fan said with a faint smile. "I will personally appear to awe them!"
"If that could happen, it would be for the best," Little White Dragon nodded quickly. "In fact, the Azure Dragon Sect is not weak, it only lacks martial arts deterrence. If Mr. Lu were to take action, the Azure Dragon Sect's entry into Xuzhou would be as easy as turning over one's hand."
"Go back and tell Han Yunhai to prepare early. On the day of the martial arts大会, I will let Jiangnan know who the leader of Jiangnan is!" Lu Fan's words were cold, and the leaves around him fluttered, as if to accentuate his aura.
"I will not fail Mr. Lu's trust!"
Little White Dragon cupped his fists quickly. With Lu Fan's words, he felt incredibly at ease. Others might not know Lu Fan's power, but he knew it very well.
Meanwhile, in a coffee shop in Xuzhou, Yang Ding Tian sat in a chair, appearing somewhat constrained.
Shortly after, a motorcade arrived outside the coffee shop. A white-haired elder alighted from a car, with someone holding an umbrella beside him. "Master, the person is inside."
The white-haired elder nodded and walked towards the coffee shop.
"Brother Zhao, it's been a while!"
Yang Ding Tian, leaning on his cane, stood up, his eyes filled with excitement, not even daring to look directly at the white-haired elder before him.
"The only one who could make me come out personally is you," Old Master Zhao smiled. "My Zhao family wields great power in Jiangnan, and you have been kind to me. You must have something to ask of me today!"
"Indeed, I have something to ask!" Yang Ding Tian nodded quickly. "Qingzhou Taikang Pharmaceutical has monopolized the entire market, leaving Yang's Pharmaceutical with no room to stand. Therefore, I wish to seek the help of the Zhao family."
"If I recall correctly, Yang's Pharmaceutical is a top existence in Qingzhou. How could it be in such a predicament?" Old Master Zhao frowned. "Brother Yang, you are not such a person."
"It's a long story. That kid, I don't know where he got the prescription from, and the pills he refined are even more potent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have dominated the market," Yang Ding Tian said frankly. "Now, I can only ask Brother Zhao to intervene. If you can help me solve this problem, I will repay you double in the future."
"Brother Yang, you jest. Such a trivial matter is nothing to the Zhao family,"
Old Master Zhao waved his hand. "You go back tonight. In a few days, Taikang Pharmaceutical will taste the bitter consequences."
"Thank you, Brother Zhao, for your help!" Yang Ding Tian's body trembled. This was the first time he had traveled so far to ask for help, and he was extremely excited.
After Yang Ding Tian left, a man beside him asked, "Patriarch, are we really going to act?"
"It's just a small force in Qingzhou. We have to help with this favor," Old Master Zhao narrowed his eyes. "Go and send a message, saying that the Zhao family is at odds with Taikang Pharmaceutical!"
"Once this news gets out, Taikang Pharmaceutical will have no suppliers."
The man laughed. "Old Master, you are brilliant. This way, we won't have to lift a finger."
"I have some reputation in Jiangnan. Taikang Pharmaceutical is just a small company. How many suppliers would dare to offend the Zhao family to please Taikang Pharmaceutical!" Old Master Zhao narrowed his eyes. "Once this favor is repaid, I will no longer owe the Yang family!"
"The Yang family is fortunate to be treated so well by you, Master," the man beside him smiled.
Old Master Zhao said no more and got into the motorcade. As one of the major figures in Jiangnan, his status was not ordinary.
The next morning, before dawn, Lu Fan, as usual, got into Lin Ke's car and arrived at Taikang Pharmaceutical, then got out directly.
"Brother Lu Fan, where exactly is your workplace?" Lin Ke asked in surprise. "I'll come visit when I have time!"
"No problem!" Lu Fan smiled. "It's nearby, but my boss is very fierce. If you go there, I might get scolded."
"Oh, I see! Then I won't go," Lin Ke said with a wry smile.
Lu Fan smiled but said nothing more.
Not long after, Lu Fan arrived at his office, where Secretary Li was waiting.
"You're here in my office so early today, is there something going on?" Lu Fan glanced at her.
"Mr. Lu, someone wants to see you!" Secretary Li said helplessly. "They've been at the company's main entrance since early morning, and they look quite flustered."
"Who is it?" Lu Fan asked with slight surprise.
"I don't know the specifics, but they've been waiting for a long time," Secretary Li said awkwardly. "Shall I send them away now?"
"Since they're here to see me, there must be something important. Let them in," Lu Fan shrugged.
Secretary Li nodded quickly and, after a while, brought the person to the office.
Looking at the person who had arrived, Lu Fan was slightly surprised. "Liu Xuanhao, aren't you Lin Jia's classmate?"
"Mr. Lu has a good memory, I didn't expect you to remember me," Liu Xuanhao said with a smile. "Last night's incident was our Liu's Pharmaceutical's fault. I hope Mr. Lu will not blame us."
"Liu's Pharmaceutical?" Lu Fan glanced at him. "So those people were from your Liu's Pharmaceutical?"
"Yes..." Liu Xuanhao trembled. Like Lin Ke, he started working after graduation, but he inherited his family's legacy and became the head of the company. He never expected that those unpromising individuals would dare to offend Lu Fan.
Others might not know Lu Fan's methods, but he knew them very well. Not only was he connected to the Bai family, but the Azure Dragon Sect also followed his lead. Such an existence was not something they could contend with.
"Do you know that my woman was almost in danger yesterday?"
At these words, Lu Fan's aura turned cold, and he stared intently at Liu Xuanhao, making him extremely nervous.
"It's all my fault, it's all my fault," Liu Xuanhao apologized quickly, almost kneeling. He was, after all, the head of a company, yet he was now so humble. All of this was the fault of his subordinates.
"Alright, it's not your fault," Lu Fan waved his hand. "What brings you here today?"
