Originally, the tasks that Lu Mingtao and Mie Hai were supposed to carry out were now delegated to others.

In the Qingyun Hotel, a conference room.

"Mr. Lin, do you know how many forces have attempted to covet Qingyun Company during this period, and how we\'ve kept them at bay?" asked Lu Minghui of the Lu Family\'s third generation, with a slight smile.

Lu Minghui was Lu Mingtao\'s cousin. He wasn\'t as favored as Lu Mingtao in the Lu Family, nor did he hold as much power as Lu Mingtao. But now that Lu Mingtao had disappeared, Lu Minghui found himself with a sudden surge of influence.

"What do you mean by that? Qingyun Company conducts its business in an upright manner, pays its taxes, and is protected by the authorities. What would there be to covet?" asked Lin Yun indifferently.

"Mr. Lin, if you\'re going to speak like that, it\'s no fun. Let\'s not beat around the bush. The profits of Qingyun Company are too sizable to be swallowed by one individual or a small faction. If there\'s a major force backing Qingyun Company, you might as well let us know. If you don\'t need our two families for protection, we\'ll just leave." Lu Minghui shook his head.

"But if Qingyun Company doesn\'t have any force backing it up, forgive me for being blunt-- it wouldn\'t survive. The existence of Qingyun Company has affected the profits of many enterprises and many major factions. In all walks of life in Huaxia, with a market this size, if you consume a big piece, less is left for others. No matter how good or powerful your products are, they won\'t survive.

By the time you can produce, your products might already be outdated." After a pause, Lu Minghui slowly continued.

"The background of Qingyun Company is none of your business, and as for your two families\' protection, I\'m sorry, but we at Qingyun Company don\'t need it," said Lin Yun, calmly.

"The background of Qingyun Company is none of our business? Haha, perhaps Mr. Lin, you\'re unaware of the strength of our two families? Even the few top forces in Huaxia wouldn\'t dare to make such a claim. Is the background of Qingyun Company more powerful than those top forces of Huaxia?" Lu Minghui laughed.

"The Lu Family of the Capital City, the Mie Family of Southern Huaxia—if you have any connections, you should inquire about these two families before speaking so boldly," said Lu Minghui shaking his head.

He did not believe that Lin Yun had a powerful background. He had also conducted his own investigation, just like Lu Mingtao had.

His judgment was similar to Lu Mingtao\'s.

The actions of Lin Yun didn\'t resemble those of a person backed by a major force be it in official, commercial, or martial aspects.

The profits of Qingyun Company seemed large and extensive. But upon careful study, one would find that the core of Qingyun Company was a new charging technology and a new energy storage material combination.

It was possible that a small research institute had suddenly discovered this technology, and then randomly chose Lin Yun as a representative.

Such occurrences were not unknown in history.

Small factions, naive and unwilling to forfeit a portion of their profits—believing the world to be harmonious—were completely understandable.

As for Lin Yun\'s claim that they were not in a position to know the background of Qingyun Company... in his view, it was highly likely that Lin Yun was just bluffing. As he\'d just said, based on the strength of their two families, even the few top forces of Huaxia wouldn\'t dare to make such claims.

If Lin Yun had any connections, had investigated their two families, and found out the extent of their strength, he wouldn\'t make such grandiose statements.

"Qingyun Company fears no threats," said Lin Yun coldly.

If these factions hadn\'t demanded too much profit, he wouldn\'t have minded trading some profit in exchange for short-term stability, just as he\'d pay his taxes dutifully.

But these factions were too greedy.

He was pursuing rapid development in a short period, not long-term benefits. If he had to offer up so many profits to these factions, why would he bother to spread his branches so wide?

Of course, even if he chose to cooperate with some major forces, he wouldn\'t choose the Lu Family or the Mie Family. Given the actions of Lu Mingtao and Mie Hai last time, these two families should count themselves lucky that he hadn\'t eradicated them yet.

He hadn\'t done so only because he didn\'t want to make too much noise at the moment, not because he couldn\'t do it. Continue your adventure with mvl

"Master Hui, I told you this before. This kind of talk won\'t work. Unless you show him some consequences, he won\'t realize his place," the representative of the Mie Family spoke up, coldly sneering.

Hearing the Mie Family representative say this, Lu Minghui immediately felt his pride wounded.

He narrowed his eyes, looking at Lin Yun, "Lin Yun, are you so confident because of your martial arts ability? As far as I know, you\'re not weak. Is that what\'s making you so bold?"

His form of address had changed, becoming less courteous.

"Those who practice martial arts have a sense of pride, which I can understand. But don\'t be ignorant. The world isn\'t as simple as you think. Elder Wu, could you show him your strength..." Lu Minghui turned to look at an elder behind him.

"Of course, I\'d also like to experience this young man\'s abilities," the elder nodded slightly.

As he spoke, the elder slowly walked towards Lin Yun.

"Lin Tian, why don\'t you give this... Elder Wu a demonstration of your strength!" Lin Yun laughed coldly.

Are they finally getting tough?

He\'d noticed this elder long ago and sensed that his abilities were not weak. However, in his estimation, this elder was still not as strong as the old man with black hair who had been with Lu Mingtao the previous time. He didn\'t believe that this elder\'s abilities would surpass Lin Tian\'s.

Lin Tian was a Grandmaster level fighter.

"Yes, Young Master Lin." A middle-aged man dressed in black behind Lin Yun nodded slightly. Then, he stepped forward, walking towards Elder Wu.

This man in black was indeed Lin Tian. He had been accompanying Lin Yun to meet the representatives of the Lu and Mie Families.

"Huh?"

Seeing a middle-aged man in black step forward, both Lu Minghui and the representative of the Mie Family were taken aback. They hadn\'t expected Lin Yun to let someone else fight for him. But soon, they understood.

Thinking about it, Lin Yun was quite young. Even if he was gifted in martial arts, how strong could he be?

It wasn\'t surprising that Lin Yun, who was now earning a lot of money, had hired some experts. These experts could be stronger than him.

However, Lin Yun was probably unaware that there were some experts whom money couldn\'t buy.

Well, let Elder Wu defeat this middle-aged man first, and smash Lin Yun\'s confidence.

"Elder Wu, when you make your move, please show some mercy. After all, we might end up collaborating with them," said Lu Minghui with a faint smile, thinking along those lines.

"Yes, Master Hui," Elder Wu nodded.
