"My lord, are we just going to let him go?" Han Yunhai asked.
"It's fine!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Tomorrow they will go to Wen Fan Company. The boss is a smart person and should know how to act!"
Han Yunhai nodded slightly, not daring to say more.
Lin Ke looked at Lu Fan. "I've been in Chuzhou for a while. Let's go back tomorrow! After all, you still have a lot to do."
"How can that be?" Lu Fan said tenderly. "I don't want you to go back. If you are alone in Jiangbei, I won't be able to look after you!"
"But I should also have my own things!" Lin Ke said seriously. "After all, the family business has to be handed over to me."
"Although the Lin family's business is large, with your father around, there shouldn't be any major problems," Lu Fan said directly. "If you really want to work, why not take over Qingyun Group!"
"Qingyun Group?" Lin Ke was a little surprised. "Isn't that too much?"
"What's wrong with it? No one is bothering you anyway." Lu Fan shrugged. "Gu Wen is managing Qingyun Group under my supervision, and he is quite unwilling. If you can take over, he would be overjoyed."
"But Qingyun Group belongs to you," Lin Ke said seriously. "It's the empire you built."
"Isn't mine yours?" Lu Fan rolled his eyes. "Are you being so clear with me?"
"That's not what I meant!" Lin Ke quickly shook his head.
Gu Wen also returned to Jiangjing Bieyuan and was directly summoned by Lu Fan. "Gu Wen, from now on, Qingyun Group will be handed over to him! You should practice diligently, and I will help you break through to the Grandmaster realm as soon as possible!"
"Really?" Gu Wen looked delighted. "There are many matters in Qingyun Group, and I've been overwhelmed these past few days."
"Everyone has their own specialization. Your greatest strengths are martial arts and medicine. You naturally don't understand business matters," Lu Fan chuckled. "It's perfect to hand over all the business to Xiao Ke, so he can keep busy."
"But..."
Lin Ke was about to speak, unsure how to respond. In his heart, he didn't want to leave Chuzhou, nor did he want to be far from Lu Fan.
Seeing Lin Ke agree, Lu Fan was relieved. He knew very well that some things couldn't be rushed and that Lin Ke needed to progress gradually.
The reason he wanted Lin Ke to stay was also for his safety. With his care, nothing would happen.
As midnight approached, everyone gradually fell asleep.
However, in a corner of Chuzhou, an old man in tattered clothes lay motionless in the corner, with a garbage bag beside him.
"Old eccentric, do you think you can hide here and we won't find you?"
A cold voice sounded. Han Bing, with a cold expression, looked towards the corner. "Hand over the documents and come back to Dragon Group with us!"
"What I take out is mine," the old eccentric said coldly. "You people are truly annoying!"
"You old man, that's not right!" Jian Ying said coldly, appearing behind the old eccentric. "Stealing Dragon Group's secrets, what were you thinking!"
"In my eyes, Dragon Group has no secrets," the old eccentric smiled. "If I weren't still recovering from my injuries, you wouldn't have been able to catch up to me."
"No need to say more. If you don't hand over the documents today, you won't leave Chuzhou."
Han Bing said coldly, "As an inspector, I won't let you act recklessly. I must consider the entire Dragon Country!"
"The outer battlefield is now gaining momentum, and I fear there will be a terrible battle," the old eccentric squinted his eyes. "You are not guarding against this, but instead focusing on an old man like me. Isn't that a waste of resources?"
"Old man, you are a person of Dragon Country! Why did you steal Dragon Group's secrets? Have you truly betrayed your country and defected to other nations!" Jian Yu questioned coldly.
"I have always had my own principles in what I do. Why do you ask so many questions?"
The old eccentric gave a cold smile, his body suddenly leaped into the air, heading towards the hundred-meter-high wall. In an instant, he disappeared beyond the wall. Such powerful skill was something even a Grandmaster might not possess. Sudan Novel Network
"Still trying to escape?" Han Bing sneered. "Do you really think Dragon Group members are made of straw?"
As soon as the words fell, Han Bing and Jian Ying pursued. They had been chasing the old eccentric for three days and three nights, so how could they let him leave so easily?
Arriving at the lakeside in Chuzhou, the old eccentric panted heavily. Han Bing and Jian Ying caught up, showing faint smiles. "It seems you really can't run anymore. I don't know who injured you with such strength! If you hand over the items, you might still have a chance to survive."
"I take money to help people with their troubles!" the old eccentric sneered. "If you have the ability, come and take what I have!"
Han Bing took a step forward, his palm condensing powerful cold energy, surging towards the old eccentric, his aura reaching its peak.
Jian Ying did not hesitate either, his sword slashing fiercely, leaving behind traces of sword intent wherever it passed.
If there were martial arts experts present, they would be utterly shocked. Such powerful techniques were likely beyond anything they had ever witnessed, even more terrifying than a Grandmaster.
As the few of them made their move, many experts within Chuzhou trembled, all looking towards the Chuzhou lakeside. They didn't know what had happened, but they could clearly sense powerful beings clashing, their auras formidable, felt even from a hundred miles away.
In Jiangjing Bieyuan, Lu Fan emerged from his room and looked towards the Chuzhou lakeside, his brow furrowing slightly. Such powerful auras likely belonged to the individuals he had encountered that night.
Gu Wen and Han Yunhai also came out, clearly sensing something was amiss.
"Those three must be true powerhouses!" Lu Fan said. "Why don't we go and take a look!"
"Such formidable auras, more terrifying than Grandmasters," Han Yunhai said in a deep voice. "Could it be Great Experts!"
Gu Wen also frowned. "The appearance of Great Experts is not a good omen!"
He had read in ancient texts that the emergence of Great Experts would inevitably bring endless disasters, though he did not know why.
After a period of travel, the three of them arrived at the Chuzhou lakeside and saw a man and a woman pressuring an old man, their every move imbued with immense intent.
"Sword intent, I can actually feel sword intent from that man."
Gu Wen exclaimed in shock. "Such power is truly unparalleled in the world!"
Lu Fan also frowned. The auras of these individuals were extremely terrifying; even if he personally intervened, he might not be able to suppress them.
Meanwhile, at the Qingzhou lakeside, many observing martial artists had arrived, their hearts filled with shock. This incredibly powerful sword intent deeply moved them.
The old eccentric gradually began to lose ground, his body trembling under Han Bing's internal energy.
"You can't hold on much longer!" Jian Ying said coldly. "Your cultivation is sky-high. If you join Dragon Group, you will surely have a place in the future!"
