"According to my knowledge, you are on the verge of bankruptcy now, and your company is about to collapse."
"Lao Zhong, how do you know so much about my company?"
Hearing this, the smile on Ye Wantong's face gradually disappeared. She felt that Huang Dazhong knew a little too much.
She hesitated for a few seconds and asked sternly, "Did you plant a spy in my company? Constantly monitoring my company's development?"
"Madam Ye, you flatter me. I'm just a small business partner, how could I plant spies? I only heard the news from your other business partners," Huang Dazhong explained with a faint smile.
As soon as he finished speaking, his eyes suddenly rolled again, and he looked at Ye Wantong, continuing, "Madam Ye, if you want to continue cooperating with me, it's not impossible. We can go upstairs to talk in detail. After all, Madam Ye usually has extensive connections, and perhaps there's a way to resolve this crisis."
"That's more like it! With our relationship, everything is negotiable. Lao Zhong, please come upstairs."
Ye Wantong suddenly saw hope for cooperation again and quickly invited him upstairs with joy.
Lin Xiaotian's lips curved slightly. He seemed to have discovered something about Huang Dazhong but didn't say it directly.
Seeing the two go upstairs, he quietly followed behind them.
He noticed that as Huang Dazhong went upstairs, his gaze swept towards the stone pillar again. It was highly likely that this person had come to check the anomaly at the formation's eye.
However, it was a pity that he had no spiritual energy on him, so he couldn't be the real culprit who set up the formation. Therefore, Lin Xiaotian decided to wait and see what he would do.
Upon arriving at the office, Ye Wantong had someone serve Huang Dazhong a cup of tea. Huang Dazhong smiled, took a slow sip, and nodded, "Indeed, it's good tea. Madam Ye, you can now tell me about your next plan."
As he spoke, he took out a small notebook and a pen from his person, ready to take notes.
Ye Wantong didn't notice anything unusual and was about to enthusiastically draw a grand picture for Huang Dazhong when Lin Xiaotian suddenly placed his hand on her wrist and said with a strange smile, "Boss, I see that you got the news of Madam Ye's bankruptcy from this pen, didn't you?"
"What are you doing? Let me go!"
Huang Dazhong's heart skipped a beat. He was clearly hit where it hurt. The next second, he glared at Lin Xiaotian angrily and shouted.
But no matter how he struggled, he couldn't pull his hand holding the pen away.
Ye Wantong looked surprised and quickly said, "Xiaotian, what are you doing? Lao Zhong is my friend, let him go quickly."
"Girl, you consider him a friend, but he doesn't consider you a friend. Haven't you noticed anything strange about the pen in his hand?"
"Pen?"
Ye Wantong's eyebrows furrowed. She looked closely at the pen in Huang Dazhong's hand. At first glance, it seemed ordinary, but when she saw the pattern at the tip of the pen, she was suddenly startled!
The tip of the pen was engraved with a Bagua diagram. This was clearly not a coincidence!
Why would an ordinary person's pen have a Bagua diagram engraved on it?
Could it be...
"I know, this pen is related to the geomancy formation."
Ye Wantong shouted, which made Huang Dazhong even more guilty.
His eyes darted back and forth, and he immediately denied, "What geomancy formation? I don't know. You kid, let me go quickly. If you don't, I will cancel my cooperation with Ye Wantong today."
*Slap!*
Lin Xiaotian slapped Huang Dazhong squarely across the face. He instantly fell to the ground, with stars spinning around his head.
After regaining his senses, Lin Xiaotian smiled faintly and said, "You still refuse to admit it? The pattern on your pen is also called the Four Directions Bagua Diagram, and it's surrounded by cinnabar. You clearly intend to use this pen to activate the geomancy formation of the Bagua bronze mirror."
"When you came upstairs just now, you kept looking at the pattern on the stone pillar downstairs and deliberately proposed to talk upstairs, all with the aim of getting closer to the Bagua bronze mirror and making it easier to reactivate the geomancy formation."
"You... what nonsense are you talking about? I know nothing about any geomancy formation. Stop slandering me."
Huang Dazhong's face turned pale, and he dared not look Lin Xiaotian in the eye.
Lin Xiaotian leaned closer to him, clenched his fist, and said, "You don't know? Then you should know that you are no match for me. If you confess the truth now, you can avoid a beating."
"Otherwise, my fist won't have eyes. Today, I will make sure you never return."
"You... what do you want?"
Huang Dazhong stammered in fear, his body involuntarily retreating.
Lin Xiaotian smiled faintly and said, "I don't want anything. I just think you're too thin and want to make you a bit fatter."
*Boom!*
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiaotian's fist directly smashed into Huang Dazhong's face. His body immediately flew towards the ceiling, hit the ceiling, and then fell back down with a thud.
*Crack!*
His kneecap collided with the hard ground, emitting a crisp sound. His bone broke, causing him to let out a mournful howl of pain, no different from a pig being slaughtered during the New Year!
"Spare me, spare me... don't hit me anymore."
His face was swollen high, resembling a meat dumpling. Seeing Lin Xiaotian approaching him again, he immediately begged for mercy in fear.
"Heh, such little courage?"
Lin Xiaotian scoffed at him and then asked, "Then why don't you honestly tell me where you got that pen? What is your relationship with that geomancy formation?"
"I didn't set up that formation. A geomancy master did. I was forced to come here to reactivate the geomancy formation."
Huang Dazhong was extremely miserable. Tears couldn't help but stream down his face from the pain. He no longer dared to hide anything and told the truth.
"Who is that geomancy master? Where is he?" Ye Wantong asked angrily, grabbing his collar.
"His name is Qian Shou Zhang. I don't know where he is either. He always contacts me proactively. Today, he gave me this pen and told me to check if there were any changes to the bronze mirror on the stone pillar, and to find an opportunity to press the button on it to restart the geomancy formation."
Huang Dazhong continued to explain to Lin Xiaotian, who suddenly understood.
This real culprit was quite cunning, hiding the tool to restart the geomancy formation inside a pen. However, he had no idea about the strength of the person who sealed him with the geomancy formation.
To lure this person out, Lin Xiaotian quickly came up with a plan.
He squatted down, snatched the pen from Huang Dazhong's hand, and unhesitatingly pressed the button on it.
*Whoosh!*
A transparent wave of energy suddenly spread throughout the entire office, as if time and space had paused at that moment.
Everything returned to normal after a moment!
Ye Wantong looked at Lin Xiaotian in shock and said, "Xiaotian, are you crazy? Why did you press the button? Has the geomancy formation been activated again?"
"Why are you so anxious? With me here, are you still worried that something will happen?"
Lin Xiaotian was not flustered at all. He threw the pen back to Huang Dazhong and said, "Now, contact Qian Shou Zhang and tell him that the geomancy formation has been reactivated, but the formation eye is not rotating, and he needs to come in person to check."
