Bai Guanghai stopped in his tracks. He dared not underestimate the young man, Ling Tian, as he felt he could not see through him.
Whether it was his demeanor, intellect, or martial arts, this person was outstanding.
Bai Guanghai even believed that this fellow was on the same level as himself, and Bai Haotian was utterly unworthy of being his opponent.
"What do you want to say?" he asked warily.
"I just want to remind you that for the่ poison on your son, delaying by one day means at least half a month less of life.
We can afford to wait for this transaction, but your son cannot!"
Bai Guanghai clenched his fists secretly, forcing himself to suppress his anger. He hadn't expected this young man to see through his true thoughts and use it to pressure him.
"Furthermore, I disagree with what you said earlier.
You said you could have another son if your current one died.
I want to say that given your current physical condition, if you could truly have another son, you should consider if you've been cuckolded!"
"You!"
Bai Guanghai's expression changed. He had been severely injured decades ago, rendering him unable to have more children.
Only a few trusted confidants knew about his physical condition, and he primarily sought medical treatment in foreign hospitals.
Whenever someone asked him why he didn't have more children, he would say he wanted to give all his love to Bai Haotian, a seemingly sophisticated excuse.
Who would have thought that today, here, Ling Tian would expose the truth with a single sentence!
"You're young and know nothing, don't talk nonsense here!"
Bai Guanghai, enraged and embarrassed, turned and left with a flick of his sleeve. Only the Wang family members remained in the reception hall.
Everyone looked at Ling Tian with extremely complex emotions.
People are selfish. The members of the Wang family all hoped to become the helmsmen of the Wang family after the old man's passing.
As a result, a major shareholder had been parachuted in, and everyone in the Wang family had to defer to him. Naturally, they were displeased.
However, they then considered that this kid grew up in a mountain Taoist temple and knew nothing about production and management. Thus, making him a puppet by sidelining him wouldn't be difficult.
But who knew that Ling Tian's exchange with Bai Guanghai just now had revealed his keen business acumen.
This meant that this fellow wasn't completely ignorant of business, and it wouldn't be easy to fool Ling Tian to gain control of the Wang family's assets!
Old Master Wang stood up, patted Ling Tian's shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.
"Little Ling, I truly didn't expect you to have such talent in business. How did you learn all this?"
"Old man, this was all taught to me by my fifth master.
Before he went up the mountain to cultivate, he was a very successful businessman and enterprise manager. I learned all my business knowledge from him."
"Oh, can you tell me who it is? Perhaps I know him," Old Master Wang Chunfeng asked curiously.
"I'm very sorry, Grandpa. Before I descended the mountain, my master strictly ordered me not to reveal their identities, as they do not wish for their lives to be disturbed," Ling Tian said seriously.
"Oh, I see. I was too presumptuous."
Ling Tian's fifth master was named Gu Tianxi, the founder and chairman of the world-renowned Tianxi Investment Group.
This investment group, with only over 40 years of history, controlled several Fortune Global 500 companies.
However, this business prodigy, Gu Tianxi, suddenly disappeared from public view when his enterprise was at its peak.
He chose to go into the mountains to cultivate, remotely managing his enterprises from there.
He also passed on his lifelong learning, business acumen, and unique insights to Ling Tian without reservation.
Old Master Wang took two steps forward, then suddenly turned around and said to the Wang family members, "At 7 PM tonight, we will have a meeting in the assembly hall. The heads of each branch must attend!"
"Yes, Old Man!" everyone responded.
...
Before Bai Guanghai returned home, he immediately arranged for people to inquire about the identity of the Gu King and what the Divine Power Gu was.
Shortly after he returned home, information about the Gu King appeared on his desk.
Upon seeing the message, Bai Guanghai's scalp tingled. This person's actions were those of a demon!
The Gu King was ruthless in achieving his goals, especially in using various Gu worms to coerce others into serving him. Disobedience would result in death by the Gu worms gnawing through internal organs!
Although ordinary people in the secular world were unaware of this person's existence, he was a key wanted fugitive in some special departments in China.
Bai Guanghai could never have imagined that his son would get involved with such a demon.
Bai Guanghai rushed into his son's room and slapped Bai Haotian, who was sitting on the bed in a daze.
"Dad, what are you doing?" Bai Haotian was stunned by the slap.
"I'm here to ask you, how did you get involved with the Gu King!"
"Gu King? Who is the Gu King?"
"Stop pretending! What's this Divine Power Gu on you?"
Bai Haotian was genuinely afraid of Bai Guanghai. Seeing that his secret had been discovered, he could only confess.
"I really don't know any Gu King. It was a very powerful mysterious person who found me and said he could make me stronger, in exchange for me doing some things for him..."
"You... you scoundrel, do you know that you cannot bear the true cost of this matter!"
Bai Guanghai pointed at his son and berated him!
...
At 7 PM, in the assembly hall of the Wang family mansion, the Wang family's top brass were gathered.
The assembly hall was equipped with very modern facilities, including the most advanced anti-eavesdropping equipment. The area outside the hall was heavily guarded by Wang family experts.
Old Master Wang sat at the head of the table, with Wang Bingxia and Ling Tian seated on his left and right, like a golden couple, perfectly matched.
Also attending the meeting was Old Master Wang's eldest son, Wang Bingxia's father, Wang Qing Tian.
Next to Wang Qing Tian sat the second uncle, Wang Qing Hai, and the third uncle, Wang Qing Shan.
Opposite them sat two women, Wang Bingxia's paternal aunt, Wang Yu Lin, and her younger aunt, Wang Yu Fei.
Besides these individuals, there were also Uncle Yi and a few other trusted confidants of the Wang family.
Old Master Wang scanned the room, his gaze sharp and imposing, like a lion surveying its territory.
Everyone present was as quiet as cicadas in winter. Some even lowered their heads, afraid to meet the old man's gaze.
"You have all disappointed me greatly!
I, this old man, have been ill, and in just a few months of not managing the Wang family's enterprises, you have caused such a huge mess!
Do you know what it means for the Bai family to have taken thirty percent of the shares!"
Everyone lowered their heads, not daring to reply. The current situation was inextricably linked to the questionable actions of some of those present!
How could they dare to court further disaster!
