679: Chapter 0679: Getting a New Master 679: Chapter 0679: Getting a New Master The Yan Family Ancestor spoke in a tone neither joyful nor sorrowful; having lived to his age, he had long seen through the dictates of fate.
The younger generations below him felt a sudden sense of panic, never expecting the Yan Family Ancestor to express such lack of confidence.
Everyone secretly wondered, could it be that the Ancestor also had no assurance in dealing with those young people?
But matters had co to this point, and there was no turning back for anyone.
Whether they were direct descendants or collateral branches, their fate was intertwined with the Yan Family’s — they would share in its glory as well as its losses.
If the Yan Family were to fall, their days would undoubtedly also be difficult.
Over the years, they had offended so many powers.
Those powers were like wolves, watching them from all sides.
Now, other than fighting to the death, there were no other roads left to take.
In front of Zhang Li’s tombstone, Lei Jun knelt with a lost soul’s deanor, devoid of any expression.
Long Fei, Wang Xiaoya, and Chu Feng stood aside, struggling with their emotions as they faced the departure of the first person they knew in life.
Zhang Li’s unfortunate encounter was also greatly related to Lin’s Group.
Had the Yan Family not targeted Lin’s Group, Zhang Li would have never been involved.
Long Fei harbored so guilt towards her.
Before this, the girl had taken a risk to send them a secret ssage.
Now, her life was forever frozen at this mont.
During his entanglent with Yan Danni, Lei Jun actually had the chance to escape.
But his heart was dead; he felt that running away was aningless and he might be killed by the Yan Family the next day anyway.
He stared at the photo of Zhang Li on the tombstone, listlessly saying, “After so many years of serving the Yan Family like a dog, I never expected to end up like this.
I deserve to die; I should pay with my life for Zhang Li’s death.”
Chu Feng smoked a cigarette, looking up at the sun.
The sunlight was a bit blinding, making it difficult to keep one’s eyes open.
He said coldly to Lei Jun, “If you want to die, I can help you.”
Lei Jun shuddered, knowing that if it were possible to scare Chu Feng, he would have died long ago and would not be living in humiliation until now.
He, who once looked down on all beings from high above, now resembled a desperado dog clinging to life.
Long Fei said to him, “If you’re still a man, then stand up and fight the Yan Family to the end.
Even if you die, you can retain your last shred of dignity.”
“How do I fight?”
Lei Jun responded despondently, “In my current state, even a Yan Family servant who serves tea and water could easily kill .”
Long Fei said, “You don’t need to worry about the affairs of the Cultivation World; you just need to handle the matters of the secular world.
In two days, we will destroy the Yan Family.
At that ti, you will take over and manage all of the Yan Family’s assets.
If you agree, we will officially start collaborating.
If you disagree, you can leave right now.”
Lei Jun understood Long Fei’s intention; his only value lay in gathering wealth in the secular world.
Long Fei intended for him to switch allegiances, break away from the Yan Family, and serve a new master.
Gathering his spirits, Lei Jun stared at Long Fei and said, “I will help you, but once it’s done, I want to find a place to beco a monk.
I won’t assist you with anything else.
If you agree to that, I’ll cooperate with you.”
“Beco a monk?”
Long Fei frowned, but this gave him a good idea for a solution.
“I agree!”
Long Fei accepted his proposal, as the nurous enterprises under Yan Family’s na would be most conveniently handled by Lei Jun.
Once the Yan Family fell, the major clans would rise and divvy up the holdings.
With Lei Jun on their side, they would be able to secure the largest share of the spoils.
At Lin’s Group, Lin Yingying had been quite busy these past days.
The audit team had fully withdrawn, and the capital injected by the Zhang Family had all been accounted for.
The bank had also indicated that it would continue to provide loan support to Lin’s Group.
Lin’s Group had gone through a life-and-death crisis, and now it had returned to its forr state.
Lin Yingying followed Long Fei’s advice, boldly cutting the company’s bad assets.
Unprofitable projects, all slashed.
The main business focus was real estate, with a dedication to developing the pharmaceutical industry, ready to carry out a comprehensive transformation and technological upgrade of its pharmaceutical factories.
The future belonged to the health and smart industries.
Even if the real estate sector encountered bottlenecks later, Lin’s Group would not be eliminated by the tis.
After Long Fei went back, he sat down in his office and took a sip of tea.
Lin Yingying ca back from a eting and was a bit surprised to see him.
She sat down and asked, “Why aren’t you with Little Ya?
What are you doing here?”
“You’re not welcoming ?
Then I’ll leave right now.”
Long Fei joked, and as he stood up, he was pulled back by Lin Yingying to sit down.
She glanced at Long Fei and complained, “You’re just like that, give you a bit of sunshine and you shine.”
She didn’t want Long Fei to leave; him coming over made her too happy to contain herself.
She asked Long Fei, “Are you really going to the Yan Family in a few days?”
Long Fei nodded, “Yes, if we don’t settle this matter, we’ll never have peace.”
“Then take with you, I can help you.”
Lin Yingying’s face showed concern; after all, the Yan Family was a formidable force, not so easy to deal with.
Long Fei shook his head and firmly refused, “You don’t have to go.
Just take good care of yourself and Shanshan at ho.
Once the Yan Family is destroyed, you’ll need to start taking over the Yan Family’s industry.
Lei Jun’s internet company should go under Shanshan’s na.
Let her know well in advance so she can prepare.”
Lin Yingying inhaled sharply, sowhat disliking the role of being a housekeeper, always hidden in the background, no fun at all.
She had heard that Wang Xiaoya had changed a lot since her return, and had even competed with Yan Danni, the Yan Family’s eldest daughter, at the Jiang Family Vineyard.
Reportedly, she was graceful and charming, comparable to a Fairy descending to earth.
Lin Yingying couldn’t allow herself to lose to others.
Whatever Wang Xiaoya could do, she could do too, and even better.
She took a sip of tea and asked Long Fei, “How’s Little Ya doing?”
Long Fei replied, “Still the sa, down in the dumps and not wanting to see anyone.
She even drove away.”
“That’s understandable.”
Lin Yingying sighed softly, “Zhang Li really did leave abruptly; it’s hard for anyone to accept.”
Long Fei eyed her, appraisingly, “That’s right, you could help by going to talk to her!”
“?”
Lin Yingying frowned, quickly shaking her head, “Forget it, she doesn’t like .
If I go, she might beco even more depressed.”
Long Fei said, “No, she won’t.
With Zhang Li gone, she doesn’t have many friends here.
If you chat with her, her mood might improve.”
“You really are imposing!”
Lin Yingying glanced at him and asked impatiently, “What do you take for?
You want to comfort a love rival?”
Long Fei gave a wry smile, “Don’t put it like that.
I have one relationship with her, and you have another.
How can you mix them together!”
Lin Yingying pursed her lips and stared at him, not wanting to see him distracted by other matters with the imminent battle ahead.
Despite feeling aggrieved, she agreed, “All right, I’ll help you.”
“Really?”
Long Fei was pleasantly surprised.
Lin Yingying stood up, exhaling gloomily, “I must have owed you in my past life!”
She went to the resting room to change her clothes, admiring her own flexibility to even break her own bottom line for Long Fei.
Long Fei heaved a sigh of relief, mischievously thinking, how good it would be if Lin Yingying and Wang Xiaoya accepted each other.
Then he wouldn’t have to work so hard, always coaxing one and deceiving the other.
