After exchanging greetings with Lin Chen, Qiao Shan immediately stood up and left the private room.
Once Qiao Shan was gone, Qiu Hanying turned to Lin Chen and asked, "Lin Chen, can you give me some hints about how you plan to deal with the He family?"
Qiu Hanying was extremely curious at this moment. She simply couldn't understand how someone who had only recently been released from prison, even with the support of the Shangguan family and Old Master Meng, dared to talk about merging with the He family.
After all, even if the Shangguan family of Hangzhou and Old Master Meng joined forces, they wouldn't be able to shake the He family's position.
"Hmm, when the time comes, I will ask my master to personally step in."
Lin Chen pondered for a moment before deciding to give Qiu Hanying a little inside information.
Otherwise, if Qiu Hanying wasn't mentally prepared on the day of the duel, wouldn't it simply infuriate her to death?
"Your master? Who is your master?"
Upon hearing Lin Chen mention his master, Qiu Hanying's interest was piqued.
What kind of identity did a master capable of destroying the He family possess?
Was he the patriarch of a prominent family in Kyoto? Or a powerful figure with immense influence?
"My master, he's an immortal!"
Lin Chen smiled slightly, and his words caused Qiu Hanying's expression to immediately darken.
"Are you playing with me... an immortal... Huh?"
However, just as Qiu Hanying was about to retort, she suddenly recalled the events that had transpired at the Rushing Double Group headquarters in Hangzhou.
Although Lin Chen hadn't explicitly stated it back then, the methods he displayed seemed to have explained everything.
How could she have forgotten about that?
"Then you mean, this He family also has an immortal?"
Qiu Hanying, being a talented individual who had conquered the business world in her twenties, immediately made the connection.
"That's right, the real He family, like me, are cultivators, and cultivators have their own ways of doing things."
"In other words, in three days, as long as I defeat a few elders of the He family, all the He family's assets will naturally belong to me!"
Lin Chen said this with absolute certainty.
"I see. Do you have confidence in defeating the He family's elders?"
After listening to Lin Chen, Qiu Hanying's expression became excited, and she asked him.
Heaven knows, if Lin Chen truly managed to merge with the entire He family, it would be like striking gold!
The current He family was vigorously developing various industries, with a market value definitely exceeding one hundred billion.
If Lin Chen could take it over, and with her business acumen, she could build a commercial empire in Zhejiang Province within two years!
"I have some confidence, but to be on the safe side, I still plan to invite my master."
"After all, this will be my first formal duel."
"My opponent is one of Zhejiang's established families, and without my master overseeing it, it might still be troublesome."
Lin Chen explained with a knowing smile to Qiu Hanying.
Defeating the He family's three Core Formation stage cultivators was not a difficult task for him alone.
The difficulty lay in how to deal with the other families after defeating the He family.
Although he was now a guest elder of the Long family, the Long family would certainly not intervene in such matters.
If he had to rely on anyone, it would only be his own people.
"Understood."
After listening to Lin Chen's explanation, Qiu Hanying finally understood completely.
In fact, she had already harbored some suspicions that Lin Chen was a cultivator, and now that it was confirmed, it wasn't something she found hard to accept.
The only thing that filled her with joy was that the man she admired was outstanding in any field.
Otherwise, how would he dare to challenge the He family?
"Jingle bell~"
As Lin Chen and Qiu Hanying were talking, Lin Chen's phone rang.
He picked it up and saw that it was from Old Master Meng.
"Hello, Old Master."
Lin Chen answered the call without hesitation.
"Lin Chen, I heard you're in Zhejiang now?"
Old Master Meng's voice on the other end was hearty as he directly asked Lin Chen.
"Yes, Old Master. What's up?"
Hearing Old Master Meng's tone, Lin Chen knew that the old man must have something he needed him to do.
"It's like this, I have an old comrade-in-arms who lives in Zhejiang."
"He's like me, full of ailments. I was thinking, since you're in Zhejiang, could you possibly go and take a look?"
"The son of my comrade-in-arms just said that he's not doing well and asked me to come see him one last time."
"But I saw him last month, and he was still very robust then. It doesn't seem like he'd suddenly have issues!"
Old Master Meng's voice was hesitant as he explained to Lin Chen.
Originally, he wouldn't have bothered Lin Chen with such a matter, but there was no other way. According to his old comrade-in-arms, he had been having terrifying nightmares every night.
It was precisely because of these nightly nightmares that he had developed neurasthenia, leading to his current condition.
Now, Lin Chen was like an immortal in Old Master Meng's eyes.
If he could save his old comrade-in-arms, wouldn't that be a win-win situation?
"Since he is your comrade-in-arms, Old Master, please give me the address, and I'll go take a look."
Hearing Old Master Meng's almost pleading tone, Lin Chen could only agree.
He knew that anyone Old Master Meng referred to as a comrade-in-arms must have survived the great war from back then.
It was not inappropriate to go on behalf of such an old hero.
"Good, good, good. It's at No. 18 Yin Yue Road, Nan Du District. I'll call his son right away and have him wait for you at the main entrance."
"How long will it take you to get there?"
Hearing Lin Chen agree, Old Master Meng seemed relieved and continued to ask Lin Chen.
"Old Master, please wait a moment. I'll ask my friend."
Lin Chen then looked at Qiu Hanying beside him and asked, "We need to go to No. 18 Yin Yue Road, Nan Du District, right now. How long will it take?"
"Half an hour."
Qiu Hanying pondered briefly and quickly gave her answer.
After all, she was a native of Zhejiang and was familiar with such matters.
"Old Master, I'll be there in about half an hour."
After receiving a definite answer, Lin Chen said into the phone.
"Good, good, good. Then I'll have them wait for you at the main entrance. I'm on my way to Zhejiang now."
"Lin Chen, if he truly cannot be saved, I hope you can give me some time to say goodbye to him properly. Do you think that's possible?"
With another affirmation, Old Master Meng's tone finally eased slightly.
He knew of Lin Chen's miraculous abilities. Even if his old comrade-in-arms was beyond saving, with Lin Chen's medical skills, it should be no problem to keep him alive for another hour or two.
