Representatives from the Lu and Mo families arrived again.

During this time, the Lu and Mo families were unable to find any trace of Lu Mingtao and Mo Hai, and began to weaken their search efforts, seemingly having given up hope of finding the two.

Originally, it was Lu Mingtao and Mo Hai who were supposed to do this, but now it's been done by someone else.

A meeting room at Qingyun Hotel.

“Mr. Lin, do you know how many forces our two families have fend off for Qingyun Company during this period?” Lu Minghui, a third-generation member of the Lu family, said with a slight smile.

Lu Minghui is Lu Mingtao's cousin. He was not as favored or powerful as Lu Mingtao in the Lu family, but now that Lu Mingtao has disappeared, he has suddenly become very successful.

"What do you mean by that? Qingyun Company operates with integrity, pays all its taxes, and is protected by the government. What is there for them to covet?" Lin Yun said calmly.

“Mr. Lin, there’s no point in saying that. Let’s be frank. Qingyun Company’s profits are too large for one person or a small force to swallow. If there is a powerful force behind Qingyun Company, you might as well say so. If you don’t need our protection, we’ll leave.” Lu Minghui shook his head and said.

"However, if Qingyun Company has no powerful backers, then, with all due respect, it won't be able to continue operating. Qingyun Company's existence affects the profits of many enterprises and powerful forces. The market in all industries in China is only so big. If you take a bite, others won't get any. No matter how good or powerful your product is, you won't be able to survive. By the time you can get in, your product may already be outdated." Lu Minghui paused and said slowly.

"You have no right to know about Qingyun Company's background. As for the protection from your two companies, I'm sorry, Qingyun Company doesn't need it," Lin Yun said calmly.

"Qingyun Company's background is not something we are qualified to know? Hehe, Mr. Lin, you probably don't know the strength of our two families, do you? Even the top forces in China wouldn't dare to say such a thing. Is Qingyun Company's background bigger than those top forces in China?" Lu Minghui laughed.

“The Lu family in Beijing, the Mo family in South China—if you really have connections, you can inquire about these two families before saying such things,” Lu Minghui said, shaking his head.

He didn't believe that Lin Yun had any powerful background; he had also found out about the things Lu Mingtao had investigated.

His judgment was similar to Lu Mingtao's.

Lin Yun acts without any rhyme or reason; he doesn't seem to have any significant power in terms of officialdom, business, or military force.

Qingyun Company's profits seem huge and its business is very extensive, but upon closer examination, it becomes clear that Qingyun Company's core is a new type of charging technology and a new combination of energy storage materials.

Perhaps a small research institute suddenly discovered this technology and then randomly found someone like Lin Yun to act as its agent.

Historically, such things have happened many times; it's not impossible.

Small forces, ignorant of their own limitations, unwilling to give up a portion of their profits, and still believing the world is harmonious, are completely understandable.

As for Lin Yun's claim about Qingyun Company's background, it's not something they're qualified to know... In his opinion, it's very likely just bluffing. Just as he said earlier, with the strength of their two companies, even the top powers in China wouldn't dare to say such a thing. If Lin Yun had some background and knew the strength of their two companies, he wouldn't have made such a boastful statement.

"Qingyun Company is not afraid of any threats," Lin Yun said coldly.

If these forces don't demand much profit, he doesn't mind sacrificing some profits in exchange for short-term stable development, just like he pays taxes normally.

However, these forces have too big an appetite.

He pursues rapid development in a short period of time, rather than long-term interests. If he were to give so many profits to these forces, why would he need to expand such a large operation?

Of course, even if he chooses to cooperate with some powerful forces, he wouldn't choose the Lu family or the Mo family. Based on Lu Mingtao and Mo Hai's actions last time, the two families should be grateful that he hasn't wiped out the Lu family and the Mo family yet.

He didn't do that simply because he didn't want to make too much of a fuss right now; it doesn't mean he couldn't.

"Young Master Hui, I told you, this kind of talk won't work. We need to teach him a lesson, or he'll never know his place." At this moment, the Mo family representative spoke up, giving a cold smile.

Hearing the Mo family representative say that, Lu Minghui immediately felt very embarrassed.

He narrowed his eyes as he looked at Lin Yun and said, "Lin Yun, you're so confident, isn't it because of your martial arts strength? As far as I know, you're quite strong, is it because of that?"

The way we address each other has changed; we're no longer polite.

“Martial arts practitioners are proud, which I can understand. However, don’t be arrogant. This world is not as simple as you think. Elder Wu, please let him see your strength…” Lu Minghui turned to look at an old man behind him and said calmly.

“It’s alright, I also want to see this junior’s strength.” The old man nodded slightly and said.

As he spoke, the old man slowly walked towards Lin Yun.

"Lin Tian, ​​why don't you show this... Elder Wu your strength too!" Lin Yun said with a cold smile.

Are they finally resorting to force?

He had already noticed this old man and vaguely sensed that he was quite strong, but in his opinion, he was not as strong as the black-haired old man who was with Lu Mingtao last time. He did not think that this old man's strength would surpass Lin Tian's.

Lin Tianke is a Grandmaster-level expert.

"Yes, Young Master Lin." Behind Lin Yun, a middle-aged man in black nodded slightly, then stepped forward and walked towards the old martial artist.

This middle-aged man in black was Lin Tian, ​​who had come to meet the representatives of the Lu and Mo families. Lin Yun had been bringing him along.

"Um?"

When they saw a middle-aged man in black step forward, Lu Minghui and the Mo family representative were both taken aback. They hadn't expected Lin Yun to send someone from behind him to fight. However, they quickly understood.

Come to think of it, how old is Lin Yun? Even if he has talent in martial arts, how strong can he be?

Lin Yun is making a lot of money now, so it's perfectly normal for him to spend money to hire some experts, whose strength may even surpass his own.

However, Lin Yun probably doesn't know that there are some experts who can't be hired just by spending money.

Very well, let Elder Wu defeat this middle-aged man first, and shatter Lin Yun's perception.

"Elder Wu, when you make your move later, please show some mercy. After all, we may still have a chance to cooperate with them." Thinking this, Lu Minghui said with a faint smile.

"Yes, Young Master Hui," the old man nodded.
