That night.
Tianhai.
Lin.
Wang Wanqing pushed open the study door and looked at Lin Xiaotian with bloodshot eyes and tired expression in the room, feeling heartbroken.
"Aren't you done yet?"
Wang Wanqing stepped forward, put down the hot tea in her hand, came behind Lin Xiaotian, stretched out her hand, and rubbed Lin Xiaotian's shoulders.
Lin Xiaotian rubbed his brows, shook his head, smiled bitterly, and said, "I'm afraid the ancient elixir recipe has been leaked."
Wang Wanqing's shoulders shook and her expression changed slightly, "It's impossible! The ancient elixir recipe is locked in the safe. No one can open it except you. How could it be leaked?"
"Are you thinking too much?"
Gudanfang is the core competitiveness of Jinghong Pharmaceutical. If something happens to Gudanfang, Jinghong Pharmaceutical will be doomed.
At this time, once Jinghong Pharmaceutical is finished, it means the Lin family is finished.
Lin Xiaotian smiled bitterly, "I hope I'm overthinking."
"But just today, the circulation of Ambrosia in the market suddenly increased dozens of times."
"All were acquired by an unknown medicinal material dealer."
"You tell me, can I still take chances?"
When Wang Wanqing heard this, her face turned slightly pale. The leaf grass that day was just a common medicinal material for relaxing muscles and activating the circulation, but it was one of the indispensable medicinal materials for the ancient elixir prescription, Zhuangmai Dan.
If it were other times, there might be other reasons, but at this time, there is only one possibility.
Wang Wanqing clenched her fists subconsciously, with a very sad look on her face, and said, "I thought the Lin family's crisis was over for the time being."
"Now it seems like it's just the calm before the storm."
Wang Wanqing said, looking at Lin Xiaotian, biting her lips suddenly, and said in despair: "Xiaotian, let's forget it. Let's give up the Lin family and leave Tianhai."
"We can't fight those forces in the Imperial Capital."
Lin Xiaotian also clenched his fists, with a face full of unwillingness, but finally smiled bitterly and said: "It's useless."
"Even if we are willing to give up all this, it is impossible for those forces in the Imperial Capital to allow anyone in our Lin family to survive."
"One of these people understands better than anyone else the importance of eradicating the root causes."
"If we give up resistance now, it will be tantamount to waiting for death and will only accelerate our death."
"So we must continue to fight them. If we continue to fight, there may be a glimmer of hope."
Upon hearing this, Wang Wanqing grabbed Lin Xiaotian's hand, her eyes unable to conceal her sadness.
In fact, it's not that Wang Wanqing doesn't understand what Lin Xiaotian said, it's just that women are always more emotional, and there will inevitably be some luck in their hearts.
Lin Xiaotian squeezed Wang Wanqing's hand, showed a smile, and said comfortingly: "Don't worry too much. Even if the ancient pill recipe is really leaked, the matter may not be irreversible."
"Don't forget, we still have noble people helping us secretly."
Wang Wanqing was stunned for a moment, but then she realized what she was thinking about. She hesitated for a moment and then said hesitantly: "Xiaotian, the people who have helped me these few times have never heard what Jingxuan said before?"
Lin Xiaotian shook his head, sighed, and frowned: "No, it doesn't matter whether it's the Supreme Master, Grandmaster Lin, or Lian Tianzun."
"I have never heard Jingxuan mentioned before."
"These three people really seemed to pop out of the stone."
"But from these few actions, I can be sure that these three people must have a very deep connection with our Lin family."
"It's even possible that it's someone we know."
"Otherwise, it would be impossible to help him several times under such circumstances."
"It's just that I haven't guessed who these three people are until now."
It was not the first time that Lin Xiaotian thought that the three people were people they knew, but he could not completely locate the names and identities of these three people.
Wang Wanqing bit her lips, her expression changed, and finally she sighed, "Unfortunately, Bai Hu, who leads them, is too strict and unwilling to reveal any information."
"If we can know information about one of them, maybe we can guess something."
Lin Xiaotian shook his head, and at this moment, there was a knock on the door.
Wang Wanqing and Lin Xiaotian immediately turned their heads and looked nervously.
It’s already this time, what happened?
Thinking of the speculation about the ancient elixir recipe, Lin Xiaotian and Wang Wanqing couldn't help but feel nervous.
"who?"
Outside the door, Commander Bai Hu's voice came, "Master, Wang Wenjie of the Wang family has something to ask for. Do you want to see him?"
Lin Xiaotian looked stunned, subconsciously looked at his wife Wang Wanqing, and asked in shock: "What is he doing here?"
Wang Wenjie is Wang Wanqing's eldest brother and the current head of the Tianhai Wang family.
Wang Wanqing also looked puzzled, "I don't know, do you want to see him?"
Lin Xiaotian took a deep breath and stood up, "He is your eldest brother after all. Let's see what's going on?"
Both of them were very surprised. Given the current situation of the Lin family, why did Wang Wenjie suddenly come to the Lin family?
What's more, last time Wang Wanqing took the initiative to come to the door, the Wang family all chose to avoid seeing her, but now she suddenly came to the door, which is even more strange.
Lin Xiaotian pushed open the door and nodded to Bai Hu. As soon as he came to the corridor, he saw a middle-aged man in the living room downstairs, with a gleam on his back, sitting on pins and needles, restless.
The middle-aged man is none other than Wang Wenjie.
"Wanqing!"
The moment Wang Wenjie saw Lin Xiaotian and Wang Wanqing, he immediately stood up in surprise. As soon as Wang Wanqing came downstairs, Wang Wenjie couldn't wait to step forward, then wailed and knelt directly in front of Wang Wanqing.
"Wanqing!"
"You have to save the Wang family! No matter what, you left from the Wang family."
"Even if you don't care about your eldest brother, you can't just watch your parents face the loss of your family when you get old!"
"Brother, please!"
While wailing, Wang Wenjie was already holding Wang Wanqing's thigh, crying bitterly, with snot and tears everywhere.
Wang Wanqing and Lin Xiaotian looked stunned, and they were all confused. What was going on?
Wang Wanqing didn't have time to think too much, and immediately tried to help Wang Wenjie up, "Brother, what's going on? You get up first?"
Wang Wenjie wailed louder and louder, "No!"
"If you don't agree, I will kneel and die in front of you today!"
Wang Wanqing and Lin Xiaotian looked at each other. Wang Wanqing hurriedly said: "Brother, what happened?"
"If you want my help, you have to tell me what happened first!"
Wang Wenjie stopped crying, then raised his head and looked at Wang Wanqing, his expression frightened and desperate, "Wanqing!"
"The Wang family is finished!"
"Overnight, all the Wang family's business territory was under inexplicable attack!"
"The attacker is none other than Wanjia of Jinling City!"
"The person in charge of the Wan family told me that my Wang family had offended someone who shouldn't have been offended,"
"Now my Wang family, except Tianhai's property, has been completely wiped out."
"Wanqing, save brother, save the Wang family!"
"Brother, please!"
With that said, Wang Wenjie began to kowtow to Wang Wanqing. In the blink of an eye, he kowtowed several times. Listening to the sound, it was very painful.
After hearing what Wang Wenjie said, although Wang Wanqing was shocked, she became more confused and hurriedly grabbed her elder brother's arm, "But, what does this have to do with me?"
"With the current situation of the Lin family, I can't help you at all."
Wang Wenjie kowtowed for a moment, suddenly raised his head, looked at Wang Wanqing, and said with emotion, "The person who shouldn't be offended is you!"
"The Wan family has said that unless I get your forgiveness, the Tianhai Wang family's property will be completely renamed before dark."
What?
Wang Wanqing and Lin Xiaotian looked at each other with shocked expressions on their faces.
"Am I the one who shouldn't be offended?"
Wang Wanqing opened her mouth slightly, feeling a little confused about whether to laugh or cry. Considering the current situation of the Lin family, who is she who cannot be offended?
"Is it that Grandmaster Lin?"
Lin Xiaotian's mind turned quickly. Thinking of Wan Zhenhao's appearance before, he immediately thought of the mysterious Grandmaster Lin.
Although it was just his own guess, in Lin Xiaotian's opinion, it was almost the same.
"Who is this Grandmaster Lin?"
"It seems that his relationship with the Wan family is far from as simple as I thought before."
Lin Xiaotian thought more, and his knowledge of the energy of Grandmaster Lin was refreshed again.
He originally thought that the so-called Grandmaster Lin and Wan Jia should only have a cooperative relationship.
After all, the Wan Family has existed for so many years, but it has never been heard that the actual person in charge of the Wan Family is someone else.
But now it seems that Grandmaster Lin clearly has a great say in the Wan family. At least, he is a person with real power.
You know, over the years, under the influence of Lin Jingxuan, the Wang family has expanded its business territory to an unusually large size.
If you want to push the Wang family to the edge in just one day, even the Wan family must have put in a lot of effort to achieve this step.
Wang Wanqing also reacted and thought to herself, could it be Grandmaster Lin?
Thinking like this, Wang Wanqing and Lin Xiaotian looked at each other, with the same thought in their minds.
Why is Grandmaster Lin so interested in me/my wife?
Wang Wanqing thought that the so-called offence of her eldest brother Wang Wenjie should be because Han Xiaoting made him kneel down before.
It's just that Grandmaster Lin, whose identity is unknown, is a little too interested in her.
As a result, a force of the Wang family's level was directly destroyed!
In a daze, Wang Wanqing felt like it was something his son Lin Jingxuan would do.
When your parents are humiliated, as a son of man, you should be filled with thunderous wrath!
Naturally, Lin Xiaotian didn't know about Wang Wanqing's kneeling. He just thought it was because Han Xiaoting came to the Lin family to cause trouble that day.
"Could this Grandmaster Lin be someone Wanqing knew before?"
"For example, someone who once loved Wanqing?"
Lin Xiaotian suddenly thought of it.
Before this, he had always thought that these three people, Grandmaster Lin, were people related to him, Wang Wanqing, and even the Lin family.
At this moment, it suddenly occurred to me that maybe it was just because of one of them?
For example, being angry for a beauty?
In this way, Grandmaster Lin had a good explanation for his unwillingness to reveal his identity.
That man doesn't want his beloved woman to fall from the sky on colorful auspicious clouds at her most critical moment!
Obviously, in the eyes of Grandmaster Lin, now is not the best time to show up.
If Lin Fan knew that his father had regarded him as his mother's unnecessary love rival, he might not know whether he would laugh or cry.
It can only be said that invisible imagination is the most deadly.
Lin Xiaotian was obviously completely wrong when it came to guessing Lin Fan's identity.
When Wang Wenjie saw that Wang Wanqing suddenly became silent, he thought it was because Wang Wanqing was unwilling to help. His eyes suddenly turned red, he staggered and stood up, "Wang Wanqing, what do you mean?"
"Don't you want to help!"
Wang Wanqing looked at Wang Wenjie, and for a moment, she didn't know how to answer.
Although the situation is already very clear, it is very likely that Grandmaster Lin was angry with the Wang family because of Han Xiaoting's incident.
But the key to the problem now is not whether Wang Wanqing is willing or not, but that Wang Wanqing simply doesn't know how to help.
After all, he doesn’t know who Grandmaster Lin is!
When Wang Wenjie saw this, he became furious and looked at Wang Wenjie with a ferocious expression, "Wang Wanqing!"
"I never saw it before, how cruel you are!"
"Even if you don't take me seriously, don't you even consider your parents?"
"If the Wang family goes bankrupt, how can you expect them to survive at their age?"
"Wang Wanqing!"
"If you are really so cruel, I will kill you first!"
The more Wang Wenjie talked, the more excited he became. He suddenly looked at Wang Wanqing with red eyes, and with a ferocious look on his face, he pulled out a dagger from his arms and stabbed Wang Wanqing straight at her.
"careful!"
Lin Xiaotian's expression changed drastically, he stood directly in front of Wang Wanqing, and stretched out his hand to grab Wang Wenjie's dagger.
Someone moved faster, and the White Tiger Commander on the side kicked him out the moment Wang Wenjie took action.
boom!
The dagger fell to the ground, and Wang Wenjie himself fell to the ground. It rubbed against the ground and slid out a lot, causing his nose and face to be bruised and swollen.
Wang Wenjie lay on the ground, holding his stomach, rolling his eyes in pain, salivating in his mouth, and looking extremely embarrassed.
Wang Wanqing's face was also a little pale, and she looked at Wang Wenjie with disbelief on her frightened face.
Obviously Wang Wanqing did not expect that Wang Wenjie would suddenly riot and actually want to kill herself!
Lin Xiaotian hugged Wang Wanqing and let out a sigh of relief, but then he became furious and glared at Wang Wenjie, "You're crazy! Wanqing is your sister!"
"The thing about your Wang family is not that we are unwilling to help, but that we simply don't know how to help."
"If you don't believe it, if you hadn't mentioned this matter, we wouldn't have known this at all."
"Tell me, how can we help your Wang family!"
Lin Xiaotian said and began to roar. The situation in the Lin family now made him very anxious, and his wife almost had an accident in front of him.
If he didn't have some sense left, Lin Xiaotian would have wanted to grab the dagger on the ground and strike Wang Wenjie first.
Wang Wenjie listened to Lin Xiaotian's words, endured the painful blow to his abdomen caused by the White Tiger Commander, and sneered, "Lin Xiaotian, you are fooling the devil!"
"It can make those Wan families destroy the business territory of my Wang family at the cost of losing both sides."
"But you told me, you don't know!"
"What? You really think that the Lin family is the same Lin family as before. Whatever you want, you don't need to open your mouth, and countless people will take care of everything for you!"
"I tell you Lin Xiaotian, I..."
Lin Xiaotian suddenly frowned, "Shut up!"
"Wang Wenjie, get out of here now! I don't want to see you again!"
"Commander White Tiger, if he says one more word, I will give him a leg!"
When Commander Bai Hu heard this, he nodded and looked at Wang Wenjie with a sharp look in his eyes.
Wang Wenjie held a breath in his throat. Looking at the stern-looking Commander Bai Hu, he finally swallowed back the unfinished words.
In the end, Wang Wenjie glanced at Lin Xiaotian and Wang Wanqing with a malicious expression, and could only turn around and leave with reluctance.
Lin Xiaotian looked at Wang Wenjie's back and felt upset. Before Lin Xiaotian could calm down, his eyes suddenly froze and his face turned pale.
A middle-aged man with gold-rimmed glasses rushed into the door in a panic, and then headed straight for Lin Xiaotian.
Lin Xiaotian looked at this person, his heart was beating wildly, and he had a bad feeling in his heart.
Wang Wanqing on the side looked uneasy because of Wang Wenjie's incident. When she saw the man with gold-rimmed glasses who appeared, her face turned pale.
Because this man with gold-rimmed glasses is none other than Wen Kai, the person in charge of Jinghong Pharmaceutical.
Logically speaking, now is not the time for Wen Kai to come to the Lin family, but he happened to show up.
The moment Wen Kai saw Lin Xiaotian, he shouted loudly: "Master, it's not good, something happened to Jinghong Pharmaceutical!"
"Sure enough, something happened!"
Lin Xiaotian swallowed his saliva and clenched his fists subconsciously.
