Inside the office, Lin Batian and Ning Yulu were eating boxed lunches, while Lin Xun sat beside them watching them eat.

Perhaps they were genuinely hungry, for the two ate with great relish, making Lin Xun hungry just watching them.

He originally thought that only his father was in the office, but he didn't expect Ning Yuluo to be there as well, and she only gave him two boxed lunches.

"Not bad, not bad, it's been a long time since I've had such a delicious boxed lunch," Lin Batian praised.

“Indeed, the last time I ate a boxed lunch was back in college,” Ning Yulu sighed.

Lin Xun smiled and then asked, "Dad, cousin, you both looked worried just now. Is something wrong?"

Lin Batian and Ning Yulu exchanged a glance, and the latter smiled slightly and said, "It's nothing. I've been a bit busy lately. Uncle Lin and I are organizing our thoughts."

Lin Xun pondered for a moment, then asked, "Is it related to the Qin family?"

Upon hearing this, the two were taken aback.

"Where did you find out?" Lin Batian asked, somewhat surprised.

Could it be that the wife told the son? But that doesn't make sense; they clearly agreed not to tell the younger generation these things.

Lin Xun gave a brief account of what happened that night.

"I see. You've met with the Qin family? But you don't need to worry about it. We'll handle these matters," Lin Batian said calmly.

Lin Xun asked with some concern, "I heard that Miss Qin is going to marry into a foreign company to obtain financial assistance. Dad, are you aware of this?"

Lin Batian nodded: "I know. Qin Tian has always been a ruthless person. I didn't expect him to be willing to sacrifice even his own daughter."

At this point, he shook his head with a sigh.

Ning Yuluo also said, "The Qin family now has several allies, plus the giant Wells Group, which should not be underestimated. The outcome of this business war is indeed hard to say."

Lin Xun looked at the two of them: "Do we have any countermeasures?"

Lin Batian sneered: "What kind of countermeasures do you need? Since that kid wants to play, then I'll play along. He followed me to build this empire back then, and this time I'll make him face reality. A little brother will always be a little brother!"

Ning Yulu patted Lin Xun on the shoulder: "Don't worry, we already have a solution. You don't need to worry, just focus on your studies."

Lin Xun smiled wryly: "I always feel like I can't help with anything."

Upon hearing this, Lin Batian and Ning Yulu exchanged a glance and both smiled.

“You’re still too young. When your cousin was your age, he was a spoiled brat too. Don’t worry, we’ll pave the way for you. You just need to proceed at the normal pace,” Lin Batian comforted him.

To be honest, it's already very good that Lin Xun cares about them so much. At least he has the intention to help the company. If it were some spoiled brats, would they care about the life or death of their families?

Hearing his father and cousin's words, Lin Xun gradually felt relieved.

"By the way, isn't Xiao Su coming back with you?" Lin Batian suddenly asked.

Lin Xun said, "No, we plan to go on vacation the day after tomorrow."

Hmm, thinking about this made Lin Xun feel a little embarrassed again.

After all, his dad and the others were dealing with a company crisis, but he still had the mind to play.

"Alright, let's go out and relax. Once this matter is over, we should also go and relax properly," Lin Batian sighed.

"Let's go, it's time to go home."

The three men walked out of the company together.

"Take my car, I'll drive you back, then I'll go back by myself," Ning Yulu said with a smile.

Lin Batian and his son did not refuse.

Lin Batian usually has a butler driving him to and from get off work, and he is always waiting for him at the company after get off work. However, Lin Batian did not get into the butler's car, but instead got into Ning Yuluo's car with Lin Xun.

"Dad, can you tell me about the family distribution in Kyoto?" Lin Xun suddenly asked.

Lin Batian looked at him in surprise, then thought for a moment and said, "In Kyoto, not to mention other military and political families, if we only talk about business families, the top one is naturally my Lin family. However, to be honest, my family is not really a family, since it's just the three of us, hehe."

Speaking of this, Lin Batian was quite proud.

After all, he built a business empire from scratch, a fact that would make countless people in Kyoto tremble with fear.

"Below that, there are four first-class families: the Qin family, the Chen family, the Gu family, and the Lan family. These four families are second only to our family in terms of wealth. Currently, our partners are the Chen family and the Gu family, which is your maternal grandmother's family. The Qin family is our enemy, and the Lan family is currently in a neutral position with an unclear stance."

"Next, there are second-tier families. Although this is a classification, it is quite accurate. It is not easy to become a second-tier family. The minimum assets required are over 10 billion to qualify."

“Some of these families have already chosen sides and are cooperating with each other.”

"Besides these overt forces, there are also some hidden ones, but you don't need to know too much about them right now."

Lin Xun understood some of it, but he asked in confusion, "But Dad, didn't you say that there are only three of us in our family? How can our family become a business empire in Kyoto?"

If there are three people, wouldn't it be very dangerous if some people with ulterior motives wanted to take revenge?

Lin Batian looked at him with an expression that said, "What you said makes sense. However, there are only three people in our Lin family with pure blood. But there are many other intricate relationships, such as your cousin. He is actually part of the Lin family."

Ning Yulu smiled and replied, "Uncle Lin is right."

"Besides, do you think that since Dad dared to sit in this position, he didn't have his own power? Maybe now that we've been in a peaceful era for so long, many people have forgotten that there are still underworld forces."

A glint of light flashed in Lin Batian's eyes.

Back then, he started from scratch and had a group of brothers around him. But now, so many years have passed, and those brothers all have their own businesses. However, if he wants, he can command both the legitimate and criminal worlds at will.

The man who once stirred up a storm in Kyoto was no ordinary man.

He was once a leading actor too!

“Son, you may not fully understand the power of our family right now, which is normal. Soon, when you stand with us, you will know what the Lin family truly represents.” Lin Batian patted his shoulder meaningfully.

Lin Xun suddenly felt an indescribable feeling.

It seems like I've never truly integrated into any particular circle.

However, he also had some expectations.

As the future leader of the Lin family, he still has a long way to go.
