Zhang Tianhe's face was livid with anger. Even after walking out of the Qin Group's building, his body was still trembling slightly, a surge of anger stuck in his chest, unable to be expelled or swallowed. Zhang Tianhe, who had been a force to be reckoned with for decades, had been completely defeated this time! And it was a thorough defeat, without even the courage to make a comeback.

In business, Qin Ruomeng had outdone him, and in economic competition, the Tianhe Group was simply no match. Externally, Ye Tianfan's strength was formidable, and the only external force Zhang relied on was Xie Lingshuang. However, in front of Ye Tianfan, Xie Lingshuang simply stood no chance!

"Are you unwilling to accept this?" Xie Lingshuang asked in a low voice, his face dark as he looked at Zhang Tianhe.

"Are you willing to accept it?" Zhang Tianhe retorted angrily, the most humiliating thing on this visit to the Qin Group was actually for Xie Lingshuang. The Jiangnan Xie Family was a prestigious name in the Ancient Martial Realm, and to suffer such a big loss in front of Ye Tianfan, news of it spreading might make it impossible for the Xie Family to stand in the Ancient Martial Realm in the future.

Xie Lingshuang's face turned grave, he took a deep breath and his eyes swept over Zhang Tianhe's face as he muttered, "Willing!"

What?

Zhang Tianhe was stunned, looking at Xie Lingshuang in disbelief!

He was the head of the Jiangnan Xie Family! A man whose words were law in the Jiangnan region, and even if you looked at the entire Huaxia Ancient Martial Realm, Xie Lingshuang was a figure to be reckoned with. But now he was actually backing down?

"Ling Xiao, you..." Zhang Tianhe couldn't believe it, he opened his mouth in shock to question, but before he could finish, Xie Lingshuang waved his hand, interrupting Zhang Tianhe.

Ever since Xie Lingshuang was repelled by Ye Tianfan with a single palm, he had remained grim, not saying a word. It was only after walking out of the Qin Group building that he felt relieved. Upon closer inspection, cold sweat had soaked through his back. Just now, in Qin Ruomeng's office, the hidden force emanating from Ye Tianfan had been suppressing Xie Lingshuang, almost driving him to the brink of collapse. At this moment, Xie Lingshuang waved his hand, and with lingering fear, he glanced back at the Qin Group building, speaking in a low voice, "Ye Tianfan, this man, is someone the Xie Family cannot afford to provoke!"

"What!?"

Zhang Tianhe's eyes were filled with shock. He couldn't believe that Xie Lingshuang would say such a thing. He recalled when the Tianhe Group had just established itself in Jiangzhou City and had provoked the local gang, the Sea Shark Gang. Back then, Xie Lingshuang had acted decisively, single-handedly fighting hundreds of the Sea Shark Gang's thugs without even breaking a sweat. What arrogance that was!

But now, one Ye Tianfan had frightened the once-confident Xie Lingshuang out of his wits!

Just who exactly is this Ye Tianfan?

Xie Lingshuang's expression turned cold, and he said, "Tianhe, at least you are my brother-in-law. Let me advise you, right now, this might be the best outcome for your Tianhe Group. Following the Qin Family would not be a mistake."

Hearing Xie Lingshuang's words, Zhang Tianhe's expression became serious. Instinctively, he glanced back at the Qin Group building and asked, "Does the Qin Family really have such power?"

Xie Lingshuang nodded and said, "Tianhe, the principle of prospering by following and perishing by opposing is clear, so I don't need to say more. I can only tell you that the Qin Group is a hundred times more powerful than you think. If you are sensible..."

Xie Lingshuang paused for a few seconds before continuing, "If you are wise, then wholeheartedly follow the Qin Group! If necessary, you may even have to sacrifice the interests of the Tianhe Group to maintain the Qin Group, but you certainly will not suffer!"

Xie Lingshuang's words made Zhang Tianhe's pupils contract sharply, his whole body shaking as if struck by lightning. Given Xie Lingshuang's status, there must be profound meaning in his advice!

Zhang Tianhe knew well that Xie Lingshuang would never harm him. Since Xie suggested relying on the Qin Group, there must be a reason. It's just that certain things are beyond Zhang Tianhe's current level and perspective.

At this moment, Zhang Tianhe's expression changed. He cupped his hands towards Xie Lingshuang and said, "Thank you for the warning; I know what to do now!"

Xie Lingshuang's expression was slightly cold, and he nodded, sighing softly before saying, "Take me to the station! I want to return to Jiangnan! Tell Ye Tianfan that for the next thirty years, my Xie Family will not step out of Jiangnan, as a form of apology, asking for his forgiveness for today's offense."

Hearing this, a thin layer of cold sweat instantly appeared on Zhang Tianhe's forehead, and he felt a sense of dread. He didn't know exactly who Ye Tianfan was nor how strong his power was, but to scare the once-dominant Shadowless Palm Xie Family in Jiangnan to such an extent! This Ye Tianfan is definitely not a simple character!

"Are you going back to Jiangnan now? Are you not attending Mr. Fang's charity event?" Zhang Tianhe couldn't help but ask.

Xie Lingshuang chuckled bitterly, shaking his head, and said, "No, a storm is brewing, the world will be in chaos. My Xie Family only seeks to protect itself and won't wade into these troubled waters."

"It's just a charity event, isn't it that serious?" Zhang Tianhe's face was dark, deeply puzzled.

Xie Lingshuang shook his head, seemingly reluctant to explain further, only murmuring, "This Mr. Fang is not simple. Although this charity event looks trivial, it marks the beginning of turbulent times! A matter of life and death! Trust me, you should avoid it too!"

Zhang Tianhe's expression changed. He didn't dare to ask more, and he simply nodded with a grim face.

...

As night fell, the lights began to twinkle, and the nightlife of Jiangzhou City began. Amidst the flashing neon lights of the city, underground currents surged, and business tycoons gathered in Jiangzhou City. At this time, the parking lot of Linjiang Tower was already filled with all kinds of luxury cars, each worth millions, parked as if they were part of a luxury car exhibition.

The car door opened, and Qin Ruomeng's slender leg stepped out of the car, her backless red evening gown particularly eye-catching. Ye Tianfan, dressed in a tailcoat, also stepped out of the car.

At this moment, Qin Ruomeng frowned as she looked at the numerous luxury cars around, whispering, "It seems our Qin Group's information was quite accurate. This charity event of Fang Zaitian's is indeed not simple! Nearly half of Huaxia's forces have arrived; does Fang Zaitian truly have that much influence?"

Ye Tianfan slightly narrowed his eyes, his sharp gaze sweeping around. Just after getting out of the car, Ye Tianfan had already sensed over a dozen hidden presences, and among them were definitely powerful individuals!

Looking at the towering Linjiang Tower, a barely perceptible mysterious smile appeared on Ye Tianfan's lips. He could feel that there were even more formidable presences inside Linjiang Tower.

Despite Qin Ruomeng's full-fledged suspicion, Ye Tianfan understood very clearly that even if Fang Zaitian was the overlord of Hong Kong, he certainly would not have such huge clout. He must have used some special means to gather so many forces here to support him.

Thinking of this, Ye Tianfan stepped forward, gently holding Qin Ruomeng's slender waist, and said, "You overestimate Fang Zaitian; he doesn't have such powerful clout. He must have used some special means!"

Qin Ruomeng frowned, lifting her almond eyes to look at Ye Tianfan, full of confusion as she asked, "Special means?"

Ye Tianfan revealed a slight smile, holding Qin Ruomeng's waist as they walked toward Linjiang Tower, saying, "We'll know once we go in and take a look!"
