Chapter 1366 - 1360: Fight to the End
The Ghost Gate leader was eradicated, and everyone shouted in unison. Ling Yunzi said to Lin Chuan: "Lin Chuan, take this opportunity to rally these people and uproot the entire Ghost Gate."
Lin Chuan was slightly stunned, nodded, and shouted to the enthusiastic crowd: "Everyone, follow me to eliminate the remnants of the Ghost Gate."
Lin Chuan had eradicated the Ghost Gate leader and was now a god-like presence. With a single call, everyone followed him out of the cave, heading toward the Ghost Gate to attack.
At this point, Zhang Wenhui led the people who had come with him, and a hundred strong joined together, began the attack on the Ghost Gate.
As everyone attacked the Ghost Gate, Lin Chuan called Zhang Wenhui aside and gave him the Nine Revolutions Thousand Spirit Fruit.
Zhang Wenhui received the Nine Revolutions Thousand Spirit Fruit, his expression slightly excited, and said: "Lin Chuan, don't worry about this place now, you should quickly return. I have a premonition that your friends might be in trouble."
Lin Chuan had heard Zhang Wenhui mention this before and couldn't help but worry. He looked at Zhang Wenhui and said: "Alright, but how do I get back?"
Zhang Wenhui glanced at the chaotic scene in front and said: "Let's go, let's head over there first."
Lin Chuan didn't know what Zhang Wenhui was up to, but he followed him to a secluded spot, only to see him close his eyes slightly, muttering incantations, and a glowing light suddenly flashed in the sky.
"Lin Chuan, I'll first send you back to the Hell World. You will search for that old man Xu Ji, and he'll send you to Jiangbei City," Zhang Wenhui said.
The Hell World is vast, and finding this big-eyed Xu Ji old man isn't easy, Lin Chuan said: "How can I find him?"
The light from the sky poured down, instantly illuminating Lin Chuan's body. Lin Chuan felt his body move and heard Zhang Wenhui say: "Once you're in the Hell World, as long as you find a place with glowing light, you'll find him."
Feeling his body shift, Lin Chuan felt himself swiftly falling toward the ground below, with the wind whistling past his ears. When he opened his eyes, the surroundings had turned pitch black.
Damn, what method did this guy use to send me to the Hell World? Lin Chuan felt curious, thinking he must get Zhang Wenhui to teach him when he gets the chance.
Remembering Zhang Wenhui's words that a glowing place would lead him to the eccentric old man Xu Ji, he began to sprint quickly in the dark environment of the Hell World.
In the pitch-black environment, even a trace of light could be seen from afar. Lin Chuan, after sprinting for an unknown duration, finally saw that trace of light.
A dead tree, with an oil lamp hanging from it, stood a solitary old man beneath the tree.
The old man looked terribly dirty, and his big eyes were like copper bells; indeed, he was the old eccentric Xu Ji.
"You finally returned." As Lin Chuan approached Xu Ji, before he could speak, Xu Ji looked at him and said.
Lin Chuan slightly bowed and said: "Elder, I am here to ask you to send me back to the mortal world."
Xu Ji squinted slightly, sighed, and said: "I've been waiting here for you, precisely to send you back. Alas, your friends are all here. Do you want to meet them?"
Lin Chuan was startled, wondering what Xu Ji meant. Since this was the Hell World, his friends being here likely meant that they had died.
As Lin Chuan was puzzled, a voice suddenly came from the darkness: "Brother Chuan!"
This voice was familiar to Lin Chuan; it was indeed Lu Dapao's voice.
Upon hearing Lu Dapao's voice, Lin Chuan quickly turned around, and he saw a few faint shadows behind him, none other than his good brothers Lu Dapao, Li Qiang, Huang Bo, and Monk.
Seeing the floating shadows of the four, Lin Chuan had already guessed that Xu Ji's mention of his friends referred to them, indicating they had died.
"Da Pao, Bozi, Li Qiang, Monk, why are you all here?" Lin Chuan looked at the four, tears streaming down.
It's often said that men don't easily cry until they reach a grief-stricken place. At this moment, with the souls of his four brothers before him, how could Lin Chuan not feel sorrow?
"Brother Chuan, we were all killed by Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing. You must avenge us, Brother." Lu Dapao's sorrowful voice sounded.
Hearing these two names, a terrifying anger erupted in Lin Chuan's eyes, and he said: "I won't let these bastards go, where are they now?"
"Brother Chuan, those two scumbags are now in Japan Fukuoka; you should quickly find Kai. I'm afraid he might face more misfortunes." Huang Bo said.
Lin Chuan nodded and spoke to the souls of the four: "Brothers, rest assured, I will definitely avenge you."
Xu Ji suddenly said: "Lin Chuan, don't be sad; this is their fate. They will assist you in the future. Alright, I'll send you back now."
...
Since they still haven't found the boss behind Chuanheng Fund, Tang Yumeng had no choice but to wait for Gao Xiaoxiao to get some news.
Gao Xiaoxiao, after learning that Tang Yumeng had taken over Sichuan University Group and became the executive director, was shocked. She told Tang Yumeng something very startling.
According to Gao Xiaoxiao, a group company has been eyeing Sichuan University Group these past two days. They've even sought cooperation, aiming to acquire Sichuan University Group.
Tang Yumeng urgently asked Gao Xiaoxiao what was going on upon hearing this news.
It turns out, after the deaths of Lu Dapao and several senior executives of Sichuan University Group, Japan Sea Area Corporation Group approached Gao Xiaoxiao's investment company, hoping to collaborate and collapse Sichuan University Group in the stock market to acquire it.
When it comes to finance, especially the stock market, although Tang Yumeng knows a bit, compared to Gao Xiaoxiao, she is utterly an outsider.
"Xiao Xiao, tell me the truth, what exactly do they plan to do against Sichuan University Group?" Tang Yumeng asked, staring at Gao Xiaoxiao.
Gao Xiaoxiao said, "It's simple. First, they'll crash Sichuan University Group's stock price in the market, then buy up its shares. Once they become the largest shareholder, they can naturally control the entire group."
Tang Yumeng said, "Then how should we respond?"
On the side, Liu Tiansi said, "If they're deliberately suppressing, you can only do a counter-acquisition of your own stocks, but even if you succeed in the counter, I'm afraid..."
Tang Yumeng understood the implication behind Liu Tiansi's words. Even if they fight back against the opponent, Sichuan University's future might not look any better.
With a slight frown, as Tang Yumeng was about to speak, her phone rang.
"Sorry, I need to take this call." Tang Yumeng stood up and walked aside to answer her phone.
"Yumeng, it's Lin Chuan." Lin Chuan's familiar voice came over the phone.
Tang Yumeng, suddenly receiving a call from Lin Chuan, was both joyful and surprised. However, a surge of anger welled up inside her as she said, "Lin Chuan, where the hell have you been? You didn't even call me all this time."
"Yumeng, I'll explain slowly. I'm currently at Sichuan University Group; come back immediately," said Lin Chuan over the phone.
Hearing Lin Chuan was at Sichuan University Group, Tang Yumeng couldn't stay mad. She quickly apologized to Gao Xiaoxiao and Liu Tiansi and hurried back to Sichuan University Group.
Lin Chuan, having returned from the underworld, made a brief trip home, took a quick bath, changed clothes, and headed straight to Sichuan University Group.
Seeing Lin Chuan suddenly show up, Ma Yilin was almost jumping for joy. She had been constantly worried about Zhou Kai recently and seeing Lin Chuan was like taking a calming pill. She reported everything that had happened recently to Lin Chuan in the office.
Upon learning that Tang Yumeng had resigned from her position as Jiangbei City Secretary and taken over Sichuan University's affairs, Lin Chuan was also relieved, as he and Tang Yumeng shared no divide between them.
When Tang Yumeng returned to Sichuan University Group and saw Lin Chuan, her pretty face was full of excitement. Ma Yilin, understanding the situation, excused herself from the office.
Longing for so long transformed into a passionate embrace. The two held each other tightly, and after a long time, Tang Yumeng relayed the information she received from Gao Xiaoxiao to Lin Chuan, including the issue with the funds from Chuanheng Investment.
After listening, Lin Chuan pondered for quite some time, then suddenly looked at Tang Yumeng and said, "It must be Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing behind this. Since they want to play games with us, we'll accompany them to the end."
"What's your plan?" Tang Yumeng, leaning against Lin Chuan, looked up at him with her pretty face.
Lin Chuan gently kissed Tang Yumeng's pretty face and said, "Since they want to bring us down, we'll go over to Japan and take down their group. This is called turning their tactics against them."
Tang Yumeng was taken aback and then understood Lin Chuan's meaning. She hesitated slightly and said, "That's not easy. If we want to bring them down, we'll need a substantial amount of funds, but the group can only come up with two or three billion."
Lin Chuan smiled, "I'll figure out the money part. Yumeng, I'm planning to leave for Japan immediately. I'll leave everything here to you for now. Once I gather the funds, I'll directly deposit them into the group's account; you'll need to work with me here."
Tang Yumeng lightly nodded, "Lin Chuan, Silver Fox and the others have also gone to Fukuoka, Japan. I sent them there because I'm worried Zhou Kai might get into trouble again."
Lin Chuan said, "Silver Fox will surely cause trouble for Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing first. No, I want to ensure those two meet a grim fate."
At this, Lin Chuan's eyes revealed a ruthless glint as he continued, "My first task is to inform Zhou Kai to hold off on dealing with Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing. I'll handle it when I get there."
Locating Qin Tianlei and Gu Qing, and led by a brother from the Jvyi Gang, Zhou Kai and Silver Fox headed towards them.
Halfway there, Zhou Kai received a call from Lin Chuan. He was overjoyed, but Lin Chuan told him to hold off with Silver Fox for now, as he would soon arrive in Japan.
