After Ye Fangjin’s initial elation, a look of concern crossed his face. “I know you are a martial cultivator, Mr. Qin, and immensely capable. But the Long family is not easy to deal with.”
He still harbored some doubts.
The Long family comprised several major factions, each possessing the power to shake the world.
Could Qin Yexuan alone handle them?
Qin Yexuan smiled. “When an ancient clan emerges, my methods naturally differ from the past. Employing secular power is meaningless. Remember one thing: to deal with the Long family, it must be head-on. If they want to fight, I’ll oblige!”
These words ignited a fire in Ye Fangjin. “Damn it! That’s the spirit! If they want to fight, we’ll fight!”
Qin Yexuan patted his shoulder. “You don’t need to do anything else in Jiangcheng. Just keep an eye on Long Tianwu for me!”
Ye Fangjin straightened his back. “That’s perfect. Long Tianwu is currently at the Longtian Diamond Grand Hotel, hosting a cultural exchange banquet. It’s quite a grand affair. Want to check it out?”
Qin Yexuan glanced at the time. “Interesting. Let’s go take a look.”
After they left, the Mute Demon made a gesture to his junior sister. “Mr. Qin wants intel on the Long family. We must do our utmost to serve Mr. Qin, even at the cost of our lives.”
The female assassin nodded. “Only by doing so can we become useful to Mr. Qin. I understand what you mean, senior brother.”
“You and I crawled out of hell. Now, people everywhere want our lives. Only Mr. Qin has the ability to protect us and give us a new life!”
The two of them silently departed the hotel.
Meanwhile, Ye Fangjin, driving a regular Audi, brought Qin Yexuan to the Longtian Grand Hotel.
This hotel was not well-known before. However, after Long Tianwu’s arrival and his designation of this place as his banquet venue, it instantly became a hot spot for Jiangcheng’s elite.
Long Tianwu was too formidable.
Upon arriving in Jiangcheng, he first dismantled the city’s number one underground force, the Tang family of Tianfu.
Then, Deputy Mayor Lin of Jiangcheng personally graced the occasion, directly securing a vast tract of land originally intended for a satellite city.
In both business and the underworld, he was the undisputed top dog.
Thus, at this grand banquet, influential figures from Jiangcheng and even Chu Province were in attendance.
The entire entertainment industry of Jiangnan was abuzz.
Long Tianwu’s ambition was colossal. Not only did he acquire the land for the satellite city, but he also completely overturned the previous construction plan, intending to build a world-class film and television base.
Industry tycoons, drawn by the news, were eager to get a piece of the action.
As Qin Yexuan and Ye Fangjin entered, they immediately saw a giant poster.
“The first major production of the Film City, a fantasy wuxia film, starring Su Xueqing!”
“An investment of 1.2 billion, co-invested by Tianyi Culture and Entertainment and Longtian Group!”
Qin Yexuan frowned as he looked at it.
Ye Fangjin whispered, “Mr. Qin, what’s going on? Long Tianwu wants to make a movie?”
“Heh, now I know what Long Tianwu is plotting!” Qin Yexuan sneered.
Was he using Xueqing’s film to target the Su sisters?
Long Tianwu’s methods were truly despicable.
“Mr. Qin, isn’t Tianyi Culture part of the Tianyi Consortium? I heard that’s your industry.” Ye Fangjin was confused.
Qin Yexuan had indeed ordered the creation of a trillion-dollar cultural industry, but that was before he left Jiangcheng.
“It’s quite normal. After my disciples left Jiangcheng, certain individuals within the Tianyi Consortium became restless,” Qin Yexuan remained calm and composed.
Ye Fangjin, however, was sweating.
Long Tianwu’s immediate move against Tianyi showed a meticulously planned scheme.
At this moment, from the main stage area of the banquet, Long Tianwu appeared, surrounded by others.
He was dressed in black samurai attire, idly spinning a string of prayer beads worth tens of millions. He treated the people beside him with indifference.
Only when the new official of Jiangcheng, Deputy Mayor Lin, appeared did Long Tianwu reluctantly raise his wine glass in greeting.
Deputy Mayor Lin also brought someone with him, whispering something into Long Tianwu’s ear.
Qin Yexuan stood far off, his eyes flickering. The surrounding cacophony of voices immediately faded.
With his divine abilities activated, the dialogue between Long Tianwu and the others became clear.
“This is the current executive general manager of Tianyi, Chen Jiangsheng. I, Lin, vouch for him; he is absolutely reliable. He is currently planning to expel Qin Yexuan and the Su sisters. This way, the Tianyi Consortium will be yours.”
Chen Jiangsheng bowed obsequiously. “After Li Tianxing and Chen Tian Ce left, Tianyi has been under the control of us old timers. We can directly expel that Qin fellow and let him leave with his dirty money. The Tianyi brand is still in our hands.”
Long Tianwu glanced at him. “So, the Tianyi Consortium is not solely controlled by Qin Yexuan? Can he be expelled?”
Chen Jiangsheng laughed. “This consortium was actually built by all of us. That Qin Yexuan just has some money. Speaking of the Tianyi brand, it was originally founded by Deputy Mayor Lin’s family.”
Deputy Mayor Lin’s facial muscles twitched. Recalling his family’s greatest regret, he gritted his teeth. “A hundred years ago, my grandfather established the Tianyi brand in Chu Province, initially in the textile business. Everyone in Chu Province knows this. Later, for some reason, it was snatched away by that Qin fellow.”
Long Tianwu smiled. “Good. After reclaiming Tianyi, I will give your Lin family its rightful share!”
The three exchanged glances, a smug smile appearing on each of their faces.
From a distance, Qin Yexuan was quite surprised. “So, this Deputy Mayor Lin is from the Lin family of Chu Province. No wonder he’s so insidiously cooperating with Long Tianwu to reclaim the Tianyi brand?”
His lips curved into a smile, and Qin Yexuan felt a wave of wry amusement. “Since you like it so much, I’ll return it to your Lin family. Just be afraid you can’t hold onto it!”
He casually picked up a glass of mint water and walked towards the hall with a light step.
Long Tianwu sensed something and suddenly turned, his gaze fixed in that direction.
Instantly, all eyes in the hall turned, falling upon Qin Yexuan.
