Dragon Emperor, Martial God

“Understood.” Abing remained cool. He had always gone straight to the point.

A smile broke out on Tang Meng’s face after he finally finished his business. “In fact, I did ask Big Brother Yun to meet us during our last gathering. He was, unfortunately, busy that night, so he couldn’t make it. After tomorrow, Big Brother Yun will carry out a huge gamble. It will definitely open your eyes!”

Haozi looked on disapprovingly. “Tang Meng, you haven’t been yourself recently. No matter how powerful Ling Yun is in medicine, we are in great health and are enjoying life. Why are you working so hard for him?”

“You have been worked like a dog for the past month. You’re busy no matter when we call you to join us for some fun…”

Tang Meng had only told them how awesome Ling Yun’s medical skills were. That in itself wasn’t impressive to this group of nouveau riche.

“Haozi, shut the f*ck up!” Tang Meng sprung up from his seat and pointed his middle finger at Haozi. “What the f*ck do you know! Anything that concerns Big Brother Yun is my business. I’ll let you off today since you gobbled up so much of that cat piss. Don’t blame me for severing ties with you if you badmouth him again!”

Brother Fei stepped in quickly when he saw that Tang Meng was really angry this time. He gently poked Haozi’s arm and said, “Haozi, don’t be a spoilsport. We are all eighteen now. We have to start thinking about the future. It’s probably a good opportunity since Tang Meng is arranging for us to get to know Big Brother Yun. Apologize to Tang Meng now!”

Haozi was a straightforward guy who didn’t think before he spoke. However, he was the type that would get afraid once he angered someone.

“Hehe, don’t be angry. I’m in the wrong. How about this, I’ll be the one to buy Big Brother Yun a meal. I’ll leave it to you to choose the venue. Is that alright?”

This guy was hardly able to talk about anything other than his passion for food.

Tang Meng’s anger hadn’t simmered down. He snorted. “Tsk. What do you know other than eating? Big Brother Yun might not even eat together with you!

“Why don’t you use your mouse brain for once? You might not be sick, but what about your mom and dad? Your grandpa and grandma? Do you dare to guarantee that your relatives will be able to live healthily forever?

“I’d like to see who you’ll ask for help if they get sick!”

This group of nouveau riche had been playing together, no one took life seriously. Dandan was still busy playing his game, while Chick was flirting with the movie star beside him, his hands already in her bra.

Abing was just smoking away and watching everything unfold. He waited for Tang Meng’s anger to dissipate before he stepped in again. “Alright, Haozi knows that he’s in the wrong. Tang Meng, we haven’t met Ling Yun yet. There might be some misunderstandings which will be cleared up after we met him…”

Tang Meng finally sat down. “Everything tonight is on your tab!” he barked at Haozi.

Tang Meng was subtly influenced by Ling Yun to be thrifty.

“Hehe, fine. I’ll order more in that case. Waitress! Order!” Haozi said without a care in the world.

…

Zhuang Tiande’s villa, Qingshui Wharf Villa District.

Zhuang Meina was restless. There were times when it seemed like she was going to bring something up and stopped again.

“Nana, do you have something on your mind?” Zhuang Meina’s mother, Zhao Bomin, asked with great concern.

“Mom… I heard that Ling Yun’s clinic will be opened tomorrow. Should we go and congratulate him?” Zhuang Meina wasn’t one who could hide her feelings, so she replied to her mother honestly.

“Sigh… This has to be decided by your father. Our family met with such a big crisis. How could he even have the heart to think about this?” Zhao Bomin sighed as she turned to look towards the overwhelmed Zhuang Tiande.

Zhuang Meifeng was taken away by Priestess Desireless. Before she left, she said that whoever went against the Zhuang Family would be declaring war with the Tranquil Sect.

Zhuang Tiande regarded it as a sacred decree, thinking that his world would be peaceful once again. He couldn’t be more wrong.

The revenge of the Sun Family had been secretly underway. They might not have come forward yet, but they used their power to suppress Zhuang Tiande’s business. Zhuang Tiande’s assets were facing imminent danger.

The Sun Family’s tentacles had yet to reach into the stronghold of the Zhuang Family Pharmaceutical Group. However, his financials had already been affected. The banks had stopped giving him credit.

Zhuang Tiande used to rely on the Xie Family. They wouldn’t bother with his business now that the Xie Family themselves were in trouble.

Zhuang Tiande was overwhelmed by the affairs, but Zhuang Meina didn’t bother with that. She was desperately concerned about Ling Yun and only Ling Yun.

“Dad, are you listening to me?” Zhuang Meina stomped her food at Zhuang Tiande’s indifference.

“Yes!” Zhuang Tiande replied distractedly.

“What do you say, what should we give him as a gift?” Zhuang Meina didn’t let him off.

Ling Yun didn’t care about Zhuang Meina. She knew it herself, and she had asked Ning Lingyu for help, but Ning Lingyu refused.

This was the best opportunity she had.

“How dare you bother me with such a trivial matter? I give you so much pocket money every day, why don’t you just buy something with it?”

Zhuang Tiande frowned and waved his hand dismissively at Zhuang Meina.

Ling Yun was one of the causes of his current predicament. Ling Yun had killed nearly a hundred people in two of his villas three times. The Sun Family would never let him go.

The Sun Family couldn’t touch Ling Yun for the time being, but they could kill Zhuang Tiande with a snap of their fingers. He certainly didn’t like Ling Yun.

Moreover, his eldest daughter, Zhuang Meifeng, had forgotten Ling Yun completely. Ling Yun himself hadn’t stepped into his house ever since he killed Sun Tianbiao.

“Just buy something? Dad, you are too casual about it… Do you know how powerful Ling Yun is now? He won’t even give a million yuan another glance now!” Zhuang Meina pouted.

“What? One million yuan! How did he get so rich?” Zhuang Tiande was stunned at the news.

“Hmph, let me tell you. There’s a rumor going on in school that Ling Yun has now become the head of Green Dragon! Think for yourself just how powerful Ling Yun is now!”

“Erm…”

Zhuang Tiande stuttered, but he thought it could really be possible.

That was because he had seen how Ling Yun killed. He knew Ling Yun’s strength. It had exceeded the understanding of mere mortals.

“Also, Ling Yun’s aunty — that woman flying around that night — is someone from the Qin Family. It seems like the Qin Family is on the same level as the Sun Family!”

Nothing could beat seriousness. Zhuang Meina was serious about Ling Yun. She had been to Ning Lingyu, Tie Xiaohu, Tang Meng, and his classmates over the past one month. She had hit the wall several times, but she also learned a lot through this.

Of course, that affected her studies. It seemed almost impossible for her to enter a first-rate university now.

“Qin Dongxue from the Qin Family!” Zhuang Tiande’s memory was refreshed, and he remembered how she gave her name proudly.

That motivated Zhuang Tiande.

Ling Yun barged into his house to save his daughter, Zhuang Meifeng. He knew that they were never going to leave each other.

Also, he saw how close Ling Yun was with Tang Tianhao. If he had a good relationship with Ling Yun…

He would be in one of the most powerful forces in Qingshui City again. The Qin Family… and the Green Dragon Sect…

His business could have a way out!

Zhuang Tiande was a shrewd businessman and an opportunist. He had never thought of all of that when he rejected Ling Yun. He was now enlightened by his daughter.

However, he was still short-sighted. He thought that Ling Yun could be one of his driving forces, but he didn’t think that Ling Yun could become the strongest umbrella for his family!

“What do you think will be appropriate as a gift then?” Zhuang Tiande’s attitude took a 180 degree turn.

“I’ll only tell you if you agree to listen to me!” Zhuang Meina locked her gaze onto her father and said proudly.

“Alright, alright, I’ll listen to you, spill…” Zhuang Tiande thought that his daughter would say something naive.

Zhuang Meina shot her mom a glance so that she had a credible witness. “I think there are two ways, your choice,” Zhuang Meina said in all seriousness.

“Option one, you can give one of the most profitable pharmaceutical companies to Ling Yun. Option two, you can give half of my shares to Ling Yun!”

“Wait, wait, wait!” Zhuang Tiande jumped up from the sofa.

“Nana, do you have a fever? Give Ling Yun a pharmaceutical company? And the most profitable one! Do you know how many assets that company holds? Four hundred million yuan! Their annual profit is 30%!

“The market value of your shares is worth one hundred million yuan. You want to give half of it to him?

“Ling Yun is opening a small clinic, okay!”

Zhuang Tiande was livid. This wasn’t giving a gift, it was giving his life away!

“Hmph! Up to you! I’ll marry him eventually anyway!”

Both her parents were dumbstruck as Zhuang Meina spilled these words!
