"Mr. He, my suggestion is to cut ties with him as soon as possible!
Regardless of Wu Kun's character, his body is a ticking time bomb!
Cutting ties with him might result in some losses in the short term, but in the long run, you might avoid a major problem!"
He Yadong thanked Ling Tian profusely for his advice and personally saw him off to his car.
To Ling Tian's surprise, three days later, Golden Sunshine Entertainment held a press conference announcing their termination of contract with their artist Wu Kun.
Wu Kun also held a press conference, officially announcing his move to Nanshan Entertainment.
He Yadong had used a few simple tactics to make Wu Kun, who was already dissatisfied with his contract, terminate it himself, with a termination fee of 500 million.
This was no small sum, but in Nanshan Entertainment's eyes, Wu Kun's top-tier popularity meant that 500 million would be earned back in just one or two years. Moreover, they had signed a 10-year contract, making this a sure-win deal.
Only Ling Tian and He Yadong knew that Golden Sunshine Entertainment had gotten rid of a major bomb!
In the following days, Ling Tian was not idle. He visited Old Master Lan Ruo Ting's Lanting Clinic a few times, discussing medical skills with the old master.
Then, he went to the relevant departments for his examination. The old master's recommendation letter had already been submitted, and with the old master's standing in the community, the relevant departments could only expedite the process for him.
As for the exam, some theoretical knowledge combined with practical operations was something Ling Tian could do with his eyes closed.
Ling Tian passed the exam with flying colors, achieving full marks in every assessment item.
On this day, Ling Tian left early in the morning. Xiao Zuo drove him to a teahouse located in a bustling area of the capital.
This teahouse was a three-story courtyard occupying a considerable area. The entire courtyard had been newly decorated, with a distinctly ancient and elegant style.
Ling Tian saw four characters on the teahouse's plaque: Yan Yu Ting Yun.
The parking lot in the teahouse courtyard was filled with luxury cars. As Ling Tian entered the teahouse, he noticed that the interior was all elegantly designed wooden architecture, with the decoration alone costing a fortune.
A woman in a qipao, with her hair styled in a traditional Chinese bun, was the first to greet him.
"Hello, sir, do you have a reservation?"
"Yes, I'm looking for Sister Hong!"
"Please follow me!"
The hostess led Ling Tian, all the way to the top floor.
Along the way, they passed by elegantly decorated teahouses with unique styles, finally arriving at a room.
As Ling Tian approached the room, a fiery figure pounced on him, hugging him tightly. A captivating fragrance entered Ling Tian's nose.
For a moment, Ling Tian almost lost control.
"You stinky little brother, you've been in the capital for several days and only now are you thinking of finding me!"
The one who pounced on him was Qiu Hong.
At this moment, Qiu Hong was like a resentful wife. She had been overjoyed a few days ago when she learned that Ling Tian was coming to the capital.
Qiu Hong's feelings for Ling Tian were more than just those of a good friend or sibling.
After catching up for a while, they moved on to business. Ling Tian shared the intelligence he had gathered about the Gu King during this period with Qiu Hong.
"Sister Hong, the Gu King was a key participant and witness in the massacre of my family back then.
Several elders in my family died at the hands of the Gu King, and this person is also a dangerous individual. I absolutely cannot let him continue to live in this world.
Furthermore, I have no leads on the other individuals involved in the massacre back then. The Gu King is a crucial witness, and I need to find out who the other participants were from him!"
Qiu Hong's eyes, filled with a gentle gaze, fixed on Ling Tian. She picked up the teapot with her jade-like hands and poured him a cup of tea.
"Don't worry, Ling Tian. Your matters are my matters, and they are also the matters of the entire Yan Yu Pavilion!
As long as this Gu King is still in the capital, we will definitely find him."
"Sister Hong, the Gu King is extremely dangerous, and his existence is very sensitive. If you investigate him rashly, it might bring trouble and danger to your Yan Yu Pavilion."
"It's alright. Yan Yu Pavilion has been around for so many years; we have our ways of gathering information and protecting ourselves," Qiu Hong said confidently.
"Sister Hong, listen to me, this Gu King is far more terrifying than you imagine.
I suggest you start with the Gao family in the capital.
Based on the intelligence I've gathered so far, it's highly likely that the Gu King is active there and possibly under the protection of the Gao family!
I only need you to keep an eye on the Gao family for me."
Qiu Hong nodded. Although she desperately wanted to help Ling Tian, Qiu Hong was not stubborn. As soon as Ling Tian said this, Qiu Hong realized the seriousness of the situation.
"Alright, stinky little brother, don't worry, I won't act rashly.
I will help you keep an eye on the Gao family in the capital. However, you must also be careful. The Gao family has very deep connections and immense wealth.
Furthermore, the Gao family is very good at winning people over. They spend a huge amount of money every year to hire many extraordinary individuals as their retainers."
Ling Tian nodded.
"You're right, Sister Hong. I now suspect that this Gu King might be lurking within the Gao family as one of their retainers.
By the way, this is for you!"
As Ling Tian spoke, a thought flashed, and several items appeared in his pocket. Ling Tian directly took these items out of his pocket.
He first handed a stack of talismans to Qiu Hong.
"Sister Hong, you recognize this, don't you?"
"Of course, talismans. Back then, I drew little people on your talismans, which resulted in you getting your hand slapped by your master, haha..."
Qiu Hong recalled a childhood anecdote and couldn't help but laugh. Her smile was so brilliant that it made Ling Tian a little flustered.
It took Ling Tian a while to compose himself. This enchantress's charm was simply too great.
"Sister Hong, this is a Vajra Talisman. Fold it and wear it as a sachet close to your body, and it can block one fatal blow for you!
Also, this thing is a nemesis to evil spirits. If your opponent attacks you and your subordinates with Gu worms or similar things, this can resist it!"
"Good stuff, I'll take it!"
After speaking, Ling Tian took out a beautifully crafted jade pendant, with a red string tied to it.
"And this. This jade pendant contains three Vajra formations, which are equivalent to three enhanced Vajra Talismans and can block damage three consecutive times!
And if the Vajra formations here are activated, you can just place the jade pendant down, and after a month, it will recover one use."
"That's great, help me put it on."
Ling Tian nodded, holding the jade pendant, and moved behind Qiu Hong. Qiu Hong's fair and smooth neck made Ling Tian involuntarily swallow.
