Chapter 004 The Lin Family of Mountain City
Lin Fan's lips twitched. This was the only reason he could think of: being reborn in another world and then being reborn back. No one would believe such a illogical story, and he certainly didn't expect the Su family to understand.
The old woman shouted, "I was hoping you could amount to something!" Then she turned to go back inside.
"Grandma, don't get upset!" Su Jianqiang quickly stepped forward to support Fang Minjun.
Giving the Nine-Turn Elixir to the old lady of the Su family did not elevate Lin Fan's status in the Su family. On the contrary, the phrase "picked up" made him appear even more humble in the eyes of the Su family members.
Lin Fan turned to look at Su Ruowei and gave a bitter smile. He should have realized that Fang Minjun was siding with her eldest grandson, which only made Su Ruowei look worse.
A tear welled up in Su Ruowei's eye, making Lin Fan feel even more heartbroken. Given his current situation, he couldn't offer her any direct comfort, which made Lin Fan even more distressed.
Hesitant and indecisive, finding it difficult to make a decision.
Just then, an unknown number called Lin Fan.
"Lin Fan, do you have time? I'd like to talk to you."
Lin Fan was a little confused and asked into the phone, "Who is this?"
"My name is Lin Tiancheng. Please come to Shancheng Group when you have time."
"The Lin family of Shancheng? I'm coming right away!" Lin Fan immediately ran out of the Su family villa, took a taxi and headed straight for Shancheng Group.
Seeing Lin Fan's hurried appearance, Su Ruowei guessed that he had been wronged. Everyone in the Su family knew that the old lady doted on Su Jianqiang. Even if Lin Fan said that the luminous pearl was bought, the old lady would not give him a good look.
Su Ruowei didn't believe that Lin Fan had picked up the luminous pearl either. When she gave him the wooden box during the day, the certainty in Lin Fan's expression made her believe that it belonged to him.
Why would you say it was found? Su Ruowei wondered.
Meanwhile, Lin Fan arrived at the Mountain City Group.
As soon as Lin Fan got out of the car, he saw a figure outside the Shancheng Group building, seemingly waiting for him.
Only upon closer inspection did I realize it was an elderly man with graying temples. His thin face and hunched back didn't look like those of a wealthy person.
"Lin Fan, we've finally met." The old man said, his expression somewhat excited.
"You are Lin Tiancheng?" Lin Fan looked at the old man warily. He had only learned about the Lin family in this mountain city that morning, but he did not expect to meet with the Lin family in the evening. The matter was too strange.
The old man nodded slightly, his eyes red and hesitant to speak. He led Lin Fan into the building, which was already past closing time at the Shancheng Group.
Curiosity drove Lin Fan to follow the old man all the way to the president's office.
Inside the office, a well-dressed middle-aged man was organizing documents. He had a full beard and looked quite distinguished.
Lin Fan assumed that the man was the president of Shancheng Group and was about to speak when he saw the man bow deeply to the old man.
"Mr. Lin, I should have been the one to pick up the young master." The man said respectfully, quickly stepping forward to help the old man.
The old man gently waved his hand, indicating that he didn't need help, and walked to the sofa to sit down. The man then stood straight behind the old man.
"President Lin?" Lin Fan realized that the old man was actually the president of Shancheng Group.
The old man gently beckoned Lin Fan to sit beside him. After Lin Fan sat down, puzzled, the old man spoke:
"I never imagined you'd grown up so much. I'm so sorry you had to suffer like this!"
After the old man finished speaking, he stood up and bowed deeply to Lin Fan. The man next to him quickly helped the old man up, afraid that something might happen. Only when the old man slowly sat down again did the man feel relieved.
But the old man was too excited to speak, his chest heaving.
Lin Fan looked at the old man who was nearing the end of his life, his feelings complicated. He seemed to understand something; this old man must have some connection to him.
At this moment, the man behind the old man spoke up, confirming Lin Fan's thoughts: "Young Master Lin, President Lin is your grandfather."
“Fifty years ago, I made a mistake and had your father, Lin Ping’an. But I knew that if I left your father in the Lin family, he would definitely be harmed by her. So I fostered him in a family that also had the surname Lin.”
"Later, I had no more children. It wasn't until we were old and the family business needed someone to inherit it that I finally told her the news."
"I never expected that she would collude with that family's child, Lin Qingshan, to murder your father."
“After your father died, I begged her not to let you inherit the family business, and only then did she let you go.”
"But in the end, I outlived her, and the Lin family still needs my bloodline to inherit the family business!"
"Don't worry, I've paved the way for you. I've wiped out her faction, and no one will interfere with you anymore!"
Tears streamed down Lin Tiancheng's face as he looked at Lin Fan, awaiting his reply.
Lin Fan, having cultivated martial arts in another world for a century, was still astonished by the terrifying power of the Lin family in this mountain city. Only then did he understand the reason for Lin Qingshan's madness; he hadn't expected Lin Tiancheng's wife to be so ruthless. Even more unexpected was that Lin Tiancheng, in order to ensure his inheritance of the family business, had completely wiped out his wife's faction!
"I promise you, I will inherit the Shancheng Group!" Lin Fan said slowly, his eyes blazing.
Just a second ago, Lin Tiancheng was worried about whether Lin Fan could handle the job, but when he saw Lin Fan's eyes, he was certain that Lin Fan was his successor!
"Good, good, good!"
Lin Tiancheng, panting heavily, said "good" three times in a row!
The man behind him immediately handed the documents he had just compiled to Lin Fan. "President Lin, my name is Gao Xuan, and I am your butler! This is the information on the Shancheng Group. Please take a look! I am loyal to you, and I will go through fire and water for you!"
“The Gao family has been loyal to our Lin family for generations, without complaint. You can rest assured!” Lin Tiancheng said.
"President Lin, I will immediately pass on the news of your appointment to the Shancheng Group! Tomorrow, the entire business community of Shancheng will know your name!" Gao Xuan said angrily, "You have been wronged by the Su family! As long as you give the order, I will immediately help you wipe them out and make the Su family suffer the hardships of this world!"
Lin Fan closed his eyes to rest. If he wanted the Su family to suffer, his cultivation level alone, even without releasing spiritual energy, was more than enough to make them suffer. However, he didn't want to rely on money to gain the respect of others, especially Su Ruowei.
"Don't tell anyone about my appointment as president of Shancheng Group! Not even anyone from Shancheng Group," Lin Fan told Gao Xuan.
"Received!" Gao Xuan replied. Although he didn't know Lin Fan's thoughts, he would obey Lin Fan's orders without question.
"I'll contact you directly if anything comes up!" Lin Fan said to Gao Xuan, then left the office without showing any concern for Lin Tiancheng's situation.
Watching Lin Fan's departing figure, Lin Tiancheng felt very gratified. He saw a reflection of his younger self in Lin Fan. If Lin Tiancheng hadn't married a powerful and influential woman, he would already have a large family of children and grandchildren. However, without that woman, the Shancheng Group would not have achieved such development.
