"Elder, is it that serious?"
Seeing Master Zhu's frail appearance, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown.
No matter how he looked at it, he was just an ordinary cultivator. Yet, Master Zhu, with all his abilities, dared not divine his fortune?
"Hahahaha, young friend, please don't ask anymore."
"In any case, you have reached a turning point from misfortune to good fortune. Congratulations."
Master Zhu cupped his hands towards Lin Chen, his face still unable to hide his joy.
It was as if meeting Lin Chen was something that made him incredibly happy.
"Alright, no matter what, thank you, Master."
Lin Chen was helpless and could only let it go.
"By the way, young friend, I haven't asked your name yet?"
Master Zhu narrowed his eyes, his gaze towards Lin Chen growing more and more satisfied.
This look sent a shiver down Lin Chen's spine.
If he hadn't known that Master Zhu already had a wife, he would have suspected Master Zhu of being a closeted homosexual.
"I am Lin Chen."
Lin Chen replied immediately.
He really didn't know what Master Zhu was so happy about right now.
"Drip drip drip."
However, as Lin Chen and Master Zhu were chatting, the ringtone of Lin Chen's phone suddenly rang.
Picking up the phone, he saw that the caller was Shangguan Ling'er, whom he hadn't contacted in a long time!
"Master Zhu, I need to take a call."
Seeing that it was Shangguan Ling'er calling, Lin Chen knew that it must be an urgent matter for her to call him at this time.
"Alright, young friend, please feel free."
Master Zhu didn't say much and nodded in agreement.
Stepping out of the room, Lin Chen immediately pressed the answer button.
"Hello, Lin Chen, where are you now?"
As soon as the call was connected, Shangguan Ling'er's anxious voice came from the other end.
"I'm in Zhejiang Province, what's wrong?"
Hearing Shangguan Ling'er's tone, Lin Chen's heart sank.
Although Shangguan Ling'er had always given him an impression of being a bit erratic, she rarely sounded so anxious!
Even when she had come to him to save Shangguan Xiong back then, she hadn't had such an anxious tone!
"Our prescription has been targeted by someone. The company is being raided, and the Shangguan family is about to go bankrupt!"
Shangguan Ling'er sounded very wronged at this moment.
She had followed Lin Chen's instructions to establish a factory in Hangcheng, purchase medicinal materials, and prepare to open a pharmaceutical factory.
However, she never expected that just as her medicinal materials had passed inspection and were ready to be sold on the market, a group of mysterious people appeared.
These people went directly to her office and demanded that she hand over the prescription.
Otherwise, they would make the entire Shangguan family suffer!
At first, Shangguan Ling'er didn't believe them. After all, in Hangcheng today, every top family knew about her relationship with Lin Chen.
With the help of Elder Meng and others, who in Hangcheng could dare to issue such threats?
So, Shangguan Ling'er had decisively refused them at the time.
But who would have thought that that night, the truck responsible for transporting the goods would have an accident on the highway, and the driver died gruesomely.
Finally, according to the police's assessment, the cause of death was an animal attack!
Shangguan Ling'er certainly didn't believe this explanation.
What a joke! That was a highway! And the truck was moving on the highway. It was attacked by wild beasts?
This was a bit too much, wasn't it?
Even so, the very next day, the shares of Shangguan Group had problems.
With the shares in trouble and frequent accidents involving the trucks, even Elder Meng and the others couldn't figure out what was happening.
But Shangguan Ling'er was very clear about how precious the prescription Lin Chen had given her was.
She was certainly unwilling to hand it over to someone else now!
In desperation, Shangguan Ling'er called Lin Chen for help.
"Oh? Someone in Hangcheng actually dares to attack the Shangguan family?"
Hearing Shangguan Ling'er's wronged voice, Lin Chen couldn't help but frown.
Almost all the prominent families in Hangcheng had connections with him. Who didn't know about his relationship with the Shangguan family?
Since someone was attacking the Shangguan family, it could only mean that the other party was definitely not from Hangcheng!
"Yes, if you have time, can you come back? Several of our freight drivers have had accidents. If the company continues to operate, who knows what else will happen."
Shangguan Ling'er nodded, her tone becoming more and more aggrieved.
She had originally wanted to build an impenetrable stronghold for Lin Chen in Hangcheng, but she never expected such trouble to come knocking so soon after she started.
Yet, she had no idea how to deal with it!
"Where is Yang Yong? Didn't I send him back to Hangcheng?"
Lin Chen became even more curious.
Yang Yong was a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage!
With the strange events happening to the Shangguan family, Yang Yong would surely not stand by and do nothing, right?
"Yang Yong said he was going to investigate the truth and disguised himself as a freight driver, but he's been missing for over twenty hours now."
"I was truly at my wit's end, so I called you."
Shangguan Ling'er explained.
She also knew that Lin Chen was busy with important matters in Zhejiang Province and that it was best not to disturb him.
But now, she had no choice. The prescription in her hands was too precious, and she was really worried it would be snatched away by others!
"Hmm, alright, I can't get away from here. I'll call my senior sister right away and ask her to come and take a look."
Learning that even Yang Yong had mysteriously disappeared, Lin Chen's brows furrowed even more deeply.
Yang Yong was a cultivator in the Qi Refining stage, considered an expert in Hangcheng.
If even Yang Yong had disappeared, something must have happened.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have been missing for so long without any news, right?
Senior sister Zhang Ying and Master had just returned to Hangcheng yesterday. With Senior sister's current cultivation, if a cultivator were to make a move, she would surely not be a match for her senior sister, right?
"Okay, I'll trouble you."
Upon hearing that Lin Chen was going to find help, Shangguan Ling'er quickly nodded.
After hanging up the phone, Lin Chen immediately called his senior sister Zhang Ying.
"Hello, Senior Sister, something has happened to the Shangguan family, and Yang Yong is likely in trouble too. Do you have time to go and take a look?"
As soon as the call was connected, Lin Chen clearly explained the critical points of the situation.
"Yes, I have time."
Hearing Lin Chen's words, Zhang Ying agreed without thinking.
"Okay, I'm about to participate in the Southwest Cultivation Competition and really can't get away. I'll have to trouble you to go and see for yourself."
"But Senior Sister, please be careful. Yang Yong is a Qi Refining stage cultivator, and the one who made him disappear must have a considerable cultivation level."
Lin Chen said into the phone, admonishing Zhang Ying.
