Ling Yun, who was on his way home, didn't know that the news of the old man's visit to Yanjing University and his meeting with him had spread like wildfire throughout Beijing!
The news of the summit meeting had shocked all the top forces in Beijing!
This was because every word, every order, and every inspection from that old man meant that he had sent out some kind of clear signal!
Beijing, Li Family.
"Is what you said true?"
The old man of the Li family, Li Guanping, lay on the sickbed and listened to Li Junhua's report. He suddenly sat up on the sickbed. Because his movements were too violent, his sallow face flushed red and he immediately coughed violently.
Li Junhua rushed forward and patted the old man's back gently. At the same time, he used the pats to send a gentle stream of Xiantian True Qi into Li Guanping's body.
"Cough cough … Junhua, I'm fine."
Li Guanping finally regained his composure. He gently waved his hands and stared at Li Junhua with his bloodshot eyes. "That person … really went to the school in advance to wait for Ling Yun, and the two of them chatted for more than an hour?" he asked in confirmation.
"Yes, Father." Li Junhua nodded solemnly. After thinking for a while, he added, "Moreover, the place is not completely under martial law, so it's not a secret operation. I think the news of the leader's inspection at the Medical Department of Yan University will be broadcasted on the news tonight."
Of course, the secret talk with Ling Yun for more than an hour definitely wouldn't be broadcasted on the news.
Li Guanping's body trembled slightly as he listened. He clenched his fists and nodded repeatedly. "Good! Good! Good! "
After saying "good" three times in a row, Li Guanping raised his head and looked at Li Junhua again. There was a rare glimmer in his eyes. "Junhua, it looks like our Li family made the right bet this time! We made the right bet!
"Last night, you made a prompt decision to bet the fate of the Li Family on the Ling Family. We made the right bet!
"Junhua, you've made a great contribution to the Li Family!"
The old man was so excited that he said so much. However, he couldn't catch his breath and started coughing violently again.
"This is all part of my duty."
Li Junhua said softly. Then, he stepped forward again and gently patted Li Guanping's back.
Li Guanping rested for a while and finally calmed down. He thought for a long time and nodded slightly. "Junhua, this signal is too clear. It's time for our Li family to do something."
Li Junhua nodded. "This child will follow Father's instructions."
"That thirty-six kilograms, that something silk …" The old man didn't know much about this, so he couldn't remember for a moment.
"Father, it's top quality Golden Black Devilsilk."
Li Guanping nodded. "Well, in short, the things you bought from the Ye family last night were only a few hundred. This amount of money can only be used as a stepping stone over the years. Our Li family can't exchange for any real protection."
Li Junhua hurriedly said, "Father, I understand, but …"
As he spoke, Li Junhua couldn't help but reveal a trace of difficulty.
Only then did he speak of his difficulties, "However, before the Ling Family annihilated the Sun and Chen Families, our Li Family maintained a wait-and-see attitude. Even when those ten or so smaller families went to the Ling Family to force the Ling Family to abdicate, we did not help …"
"In the end, we didn't expect the Ling Family to really annihilate the Sun and Chen Families in one night. Therefore, I immediately made a move and wanted to invest in Ling Yun's group in Qingshui City. However, no matter what I said, Tang Meng, who was in charge of Ling Yun's business, refused to budge."
Li Guanping listened quietly and pondered.
Li Junhua paused for a while before continuing, "Later, I also figured out the crux of the matter. It wasn't that Tang Meng didn't agree, it was that he didn't have the final say. Therefore, I personally went to the Ling Family to look for Ling Yue. However, who knew that the second master of the Ling Family was also trying to play along with me? Even though he was very polite to me, he just wouldn't budge …"
Unable to enter the door!
It was precisely because Li Junhua's two attempts were met with a soft rebuff that the Li Family had no choice but to go to the Ye Family's auction and bid for more than ten billion yuan worth of cultivation resources. They wanted to use it as a stepping stone!
"That's because you still haven't found the right person!"
Li Guanping finally spoke after thinking for a long time. His tone was firm. "The entire Ling Family is like an iron plate now, and no water can enter. This is all because of one person, the head of the family, Ling Yun.
"If Ling Yun doesn't say anything, it's useless no matter who you find.
"However, the good thing is that we already used a stepping stone to open the door of the Ling Family last night."
Elder Li Guanping's eyes flashed. "If you want to spend a lot of money, you have to find the right person! Therefore, our stepping stone is only a necessary item for the Ling Family, but not for Ling Yun. "
"But Father …" Li Junhua was a little anxious. "Ling Yun is always appearing and disappearing unpredictably. I went to see him twice, but I just couldn't."
Elder Li Guanping suddenly raised his head and looked at his most outstanding son. "What did I teach you in the past?"
"If this path doesn't work, then we'll change to another one."
Li Junhua's eyes lit up. "Father, what do you mean?"
"If we can't find the Ling Family directly, then we'll find the Cao Family. The Cao Family and the Ling Family are now in a marriage alliance. Furthermore, they're one step ahead of us. Before the Ling Family's deathmatch, they sent their daughter to the Ling Family in front of the Sun-Chen Alliance. Now that Cao Shanshan is living in the Ling Family, she must know what Ling Yun needs now. Naturally, the Cao Family will know as well!"
For the past few decades, the Li Family had not pursued martial arts or competed for power. Although they were declining day by day, they still stood strong. Naturally, Li Guanping played a big part in this. He was the pillar of the Li Family, so he couldn't die.
Li Junhua immediately understood. He smiled happily. "Thank you for your guidance, Father. I'll look for Cao Xingchang now!"
Unexpectedly, Li Guanping shook his head. "It's useless to look for Cao Xingchang now. Junhua, give me my phone. I want to call Cao Junxiong personally. Prepare some gifts now and send them to him later. "
"Yes, Father!"
Li Junhua immediately took the phone to the old man and then left to make arrangements.
…
Cao Family.
The Cao Family was the first to know about the leader's inspection at the Medical Department of Yan Capital University because of Cao Shanshan.
Therefore, Cao Junxiong had already received a call from Cao Shanshan before Ling Yun entered the Medical Department of Yan Capital University.
"Send the signal, everything is settled!"
This was what Cao Junxiong said to Cao Shanshan before he hung up the phone.
"Father, what are you so happy about?"
Cao Xingchang, who happened to be beside Cao Junxiong, couldn't help but ask after seeing Cao Junxiong hang up the phone. His eyes sparkled and his face was full of excitement.
"The leader went to the Medical Department of Yan Capital University for an inspection today. Moreover, it happened to be half an hour before Ling Yun reported to the Medical Department of Yan Capital University. What do you think this means?"
Cao Xingchang stood up excitedly. "Father, do you mean that the leader wants to meet Ling Yun?"
Cao Junxiong glanced at his son and said calmly, "To be precise, this is a meeting, a meeting of the pinnacle."
"Erm, I misspoke." Cao Xingchang immediately thought of Ling Yun's heaven-defying abilities and the Ling Family's current strength.
Grandpa Cao Junxiong was happy and couldn't be bothered to be calculative at this moment. He suddenly asked, "Xingchang, how far have we progressed with the land that Ling Yun wants?"
Cao Junxiong was naturally referring to the land that Ling Yun had personally chosen. Outside Beijing's North Sixth Ring Road, near the Holy Zen Temple, he wanted to use it to build his own residence, which was also the outer residence of the Ling Family.
"Yes, all the necessary procedures are almost done."
Cao Xingchang answered immediately. "It's just that the land is too big. It's a full 27 square kilometers, a total of more than 40,000 mu. According to the current price of land there, even if we can give a discount, we won't be able to get it without eighty billion."
Although the Cao family was powerful, no matter how powerful they were, they still had to use real money to buy the land. The use of power was more in the ease of operation, and it could also save a lot of money. However, it would cost a lot of money to relocate and settle down the commoners in that area.
"Eighty billion indeed won't be a loss to the people at all."
Cao Junxiong calculated in his heart before asking, "If our family continues to operate normally, how much money can we fork out at the most?"
"Thirty billion. Any more and we'll be in trouble."
Cao Junxiong nodded in agreement. After all, the Cao Family gave ten billion yuan as a congratulatory gift when Ling Yun's group opened for business a month ago. Now that the Cao Family had regrouped and had a thousand things to do, another thirty billion yuan was the Cao Family's limit.
"Thirty billion, we still need fifty billion more …"
Cao Junxiong frowned slightly and pondered.
Cao Xingchang hesitated for a moment before saying, "Father, the second master of the Ling Family, Ling Yue, told me that the Ling Family wants to buy the land themselves. They don't need our help."
"Bullsh * t!"
Cao Junxiong glared at him. "Who is Ling Yun? He's our son-in-law! Ling Yun's house isn't just for Ling Yun. Our Shanshan wants to live there too. What right does that brat Ling Yue have to say that he doesn't need our help? "
"See if I don't kick him when I see him later!"
Cao Xingchang chuckled when he heard that.
Cao Junxiong was suddenly amused. He chuckled and said, "Let's see if we can come up with a little more. Buying a house and land for our grandson-in-law is what we should do as elders. "
Thus, for the first time, the two of them gathered together to calculate their debts.
An hour and a half later.
"Father, that's all we have for thirty-five billion. The rest is really …"
Cao Junxiong's brows furrowed into a knot. 80 billion, this number was really too big.
Cao Junxiong's phone suddenly rang. He frowned slightly and gestured for Cao Xingchang to pass the phone to him.
Cao Junxiong's brows relaxed instantly when he saw the number. "You don't have to worry anymore. The God of Fortune is here."
