"Thank you, Master Yan Yu!" Ling Tian was also straightforward. He knew very well that his masters would definitely get involved in this matter and would not stand idly by.
For Ling Tian, he was even more aware of his masters' abilities. With them taking action, whether it was the Long family or the Tianshan Sword Sect, their days would certainly be very difficult!
...
On Longpan Mountain, within the Taoist temple, Ling Tian's four masters were all gathered in the room of their eldest master, Master Daoyuan.
On the table in front of them were two computers. On the other end of the computers were Yan Yu and Ling Tian's fourth master, Xiang Wentian.
Yan Yu was still at the headquarters of Yan Yu Pavilion in Jiangzhou, while Xiang Wentian was currently in a certain city in the northwest, the location of the Tianshan Sword Sect's headquarters.
Once everyone was present, Yan Yu directly informed Ling Tian's other masters of the situation she had learned. Upon hearing the news, these masters' expressions immediately turned very grim!
On the other end of the computer, the fourth master, Xiang Yuntian, could no longer sit still. He slammed the table fiercely, "Damn it, after all these years, these guys from the Orthodox Alliance are still so despicable.
They all talk about morality and righteousness, but in reality, they are all corrupt and debauched. It makes me so angry!
This matter is not over. After I kill all these scumbags from the Tianshan Sword Sect, I'll deal with these hypocrites!"
The anger of the fourth master, Xiang Yuntian, seemed to be about to spill out from the computer screen.
Just then, Master Daoyuan spoke.
"Fourth brother, this matter is not just your concern. We, as Ling Tian's teachers, cannot stand idly by!
This poor monk will descend the mountain now. This Long family of Huaxia must pay a price!"
Hearing him say this, the second master, Monk Jienu, also stood up.
"Daoist priest, this poor monk will accompany you!
I want to see how capable this Long family is to dare to lay hands on my disciple!"
"Second brother, count me in. I want to let these people know how serious the consequences are for offending a doctor!" Even Ling Tian's third master, Gong Heming of the Medical Saint lineage, couldn't help but step forward.
He was actually a very good-tempered person on weekdays, but even the most good-tempered person has their limits of patience!
Seeing his three elder brothers preparing to go out to avenge Ling Tian, Ling Tian's fourth master, the business magnate Gu Tianxi, also couldn't sit still.
"Then count me in, I'm going too!"
Upon hearing this, the second master, Monk Jienu, immediately widened his eyes and glared fiercely at Gu Tianxi.
"Fifth brother, what are you going for? You don't know martial arts! We'll have to be distracted protecting you."
"I..."
Gu Tianxi was very dejected. Among Ling Tian's five masters, he was the only one who didn't know martial arts. Although Master Daoyuan had taught him a set of breathing and conditioning methods, this skill was only for strengthening the body.
Master Daoyuan said, "Fifth brother, if we all descend the mountain, someone needs to guard the mountain. You should stay here!
Besides, with your abilities, you don't need to descend the mountain yourself! You can coordinate from the mountain and handle all the logistical work for us."
"Alright, then I'll trouble my elder brothers. I'll take care of all your worries. If all else fails, I'll just use money to crush the Long family..."
However, when he said this, Gu Tianxi didn't have much confidence, because the wealth accumulated by the Long family over generations was far greater than his.
...
In a certain office building in Jiangshan City, a senior executive of a company under the Jin family came down from upstairs in the elevator and headed straight for the parking lot.
Speaking of which, these companies under the Jin family originally had one office building. However, a few days ago, the Jin family's vaults were repeatedly robbed, causing serious problems with the working capital of the Jin family's companies.
To overcome the crisis, the Jin family father and son had no choice but to swallow their pride and sell their headquarters building at a bargain price, exchanging it for billions in working capital, which resolved their urgent need.
And their companies had to rent an office building to operate.
Fortunately, the real estate market was starting to cool down, and there were many vacant office buildings. However, even so, they still had to pay tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in rent each year.
The executive opened the car door and got in, but suddenly smelled a pleasant fragrance in the car.
He was stunned for a moment, raised his head, and saw the rearview mirror. In the rearview mirror, a pair of eyes appeared. Those eyes were like magic, drawing his gaze in. Soon, the executive lost consciousness.
The person sitting in the back of the car was none other than Ling Tian. He had directly used a soporific to incapacitate the executive.
Immediately after, Ling Tian took off the executive's coat and pants and put them on himself. Then, he kneaded his face with his hands, and soon, Ling Tian's appearance transformed into that of the executive.
He put on the man's clothes, picked up his handbag, and swaggered back into the office building.
Although it was a rented place, it was still heavily guarded. The Jin family had learned from their mistakes. The loss from the previous incident where someone had infiltrated their headquarters building was too devastating.
Now, any outsiders, even repairmen, had to undergo very strict checks and have their identities confirmed repeatedly before being allowed to pass.
The security guard was somewhat puzzled to see the executive go out and then return.
"Forgot my phone, going back up!"
Ling Tian, with his superb acting skills, took out the executive's card, swiped it at the access control, and then swaggered into the building.
He took the elevator directly to the top floor and then sat in the lounge area of the office, pretending to drink coffee and read documents, while secretly scanning the general manager's office.
Before long, a man in his thirties came out of the office.
This man, named Jin Zhe, was a returnee. He had been admitted to a prestigious business school in the United States in his twenties and worked there after graduation.
This person was an orphan and a loyal subordinate cultivated by the Jin family. The Jin family had invested a lot of resources in him, and he was also loyal to the Jin family.
Now that they had no one else to use, Jin Tianxiang had no choice but to recruit him back from the United States to steer the commercial empire under the Jin family.
This person was most skilled in operations in the securities market. After his return, he quickly gained the trust of the Jin family father and son with his abilities.
After discussions, they decided that the Jin family father and son would mobilize funds to harvest a sum in the securities market to recoup their losses.
At the very least, they needed to earn enough money to redeem the headquarters building. Selling the headquarters building was too humiliating for the Jin family.
In the past few days, the Jin family father and son had been raising funds, waiting for an opportunity to buy low on a stock.
This stock had been performing poorly recently, with its stock price falling all the way, even breaking below its issue price. However, this did not prevent this stock from becoming a tool for market manipulators.
