Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City
Chapter 54 - 55: Top of Both Lists

Chapter 54: Chapter 55: Top of Both Lists

Reclaiming all of the Gu Family’s assets, Yu Jianghe was very low-key about it. Apart from taking over the Gu Family’s enterprises, he did not replace a single top executive, yet the outside world still leaked plenty of rumors.

Various versions of rumors, true and false, outsiders watch the fun, while insiders watch the doorway. The seven major families that came to the KTV that day were all shocked.

That day, the seven major families one after another visited the Yu Family, eager to know what had actually happened.

Yu Shilong entertained them very warmly, smiling:

"Old Master Gu was kind-hearted, not holding a grudge against our Yu Family. In order to apologize to Mr. Lin, he willingly offered all of the Gu Family’s assets and withdrew from the Binhai business circle."

Kind-hearted?

Is this a joke?

The seven major families were not fools. Certainly, something had happened, and the cause of the event was probably because of that young man.

As for what actually happened, nobody knew.

In short.

Binhai has changed its overlord.

From now on, in the business world, the Yu Family was considered the head dragon; only combined could the seven families barely hold their ground against it.

Seeing that the people did not believe him, Yu Shilong chuckled: "Actually, the one who destroyed the Gu Family wasn’t me, Yu Shilong, but that young man you all looked down on, Mr. Lin."

"Ha-ha, Elder Yu, don’t joke with us," someone laughed.

"Elder Yu is quite the joker, an eighteen-year-old young man, got the Gu Family to willingly hand over the assets, do you think we would believe that?"

"Elder Yu, Elder Yu, if you’re unwilling to tell us the truth, that’s fine. Anyway, it’s best for everyone to do business harmoniously in the future."

Nobody believed the first reason Yu Shilong gave, nor did they believe the truth when he told it.

Yu Shilong felt quite helpless about this.

"In any case...gentlemen, don’t say I didn’t warn you. If you run into Mr. Lin in the future, if it’s like the other day..." His gaze swept over the seven people, his tone growing colder, "Don’t blame my Yu Family for not being polite."

The seven were alarmed, exchanging looks with each other.

"Where on earth did Elder Yu get such with talk? I can’t speak for others, but your friends are friends of mine, Hu Mingdao," said Hu Mingdao, who had acted like a big brother that day, now bowing his back, presenting a genial image.

"Brother Hu is right, upon meeting Mr. Lin in the future, we will certainly treat him with all due courtesy," said an old man wearing black-framed glasses and with a distinctive mole beneath his right nostril.

"Elder Yu, rest assured, we will surely look after Mr. Lin well."

"Yes, Elder Yu."

"..."

The crowd interjected one after the other, their attitudes and tones completely reversed from that day.

Yu Shilong sighed softly, "Just remember what I said."

How could he be seeking these people to take care of Lin Hao? With Mr. Lin’s ability, did he need them?

He just hoped these old guys wouldn’t provoke Lin Hao.

Otherwise, how many of his business enemies or friends would survive? Everyone was getting old, and Yu Shilong did not want to see these old friends dying so soon.

Regrettably, these old fools could not conceive of Lin Hao’s ability, nor would they believe that Mr. Lin was the one who destroyed the Gu Family.

If they didn’t believe it, so be it. Yu Shilong did not want to explain too much.

This banquet was actually just the seven people coming to see the new big shot’s attitude in Binhai’s business circles, and since Yu Shilong had no intention of taking action against the other seven families, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Whether or not the Gu Family was destroyed was irrelevant; as long as it did not affect them, it was fine.

The group left, each with their own thoughts.

When they arrived, they were filled with worry, but as they left, they managed to force a smile.

Just, for some reason, the image and face of that eighteen-year-old young man would inadvertently surface in their minds.

Could it really be him?

The crowd shook their heads, dismissing the thoughts in their minds.

Just a young man, how could that be possible?

However, no matter what, if they saw him again in the future, they needed to be more polite. With the backing of the Yu Family, even if he were a beggar, they would not dare to offend.

On that same day, after the seven big shots returned, they found out about something.

The admissions notices from Binhai University were released.

A person named Lin Hao was admitted as the top scholar for both literature and martial arts.

This Lin Hao was the same person who appeared at the KTV that day!

This information did not cause them to place more importance on Lin Hao but on the Yu Family instead.

They believed that Lin Hao being top of both lists must have been orchestrated by the Yu Family in the background.

Sun Yusheng, who had a trading group in Binhai, thought the same and pondered over the information displayed on his computer screen about how he should get along with the Yu Family in the future.

Sun Yusheng was sixty-eight this year and would soon pass the proverbial threshold of seventy. After many years of dealing in clear profits, he felt deeply drained.

"When Fei’er’s wedding is settled, I should retire and let the young people manage the group. How to get along with the Yu Family can be left for the next generation to consider," Sun Yusheng sighed after a while.

The situation in Binhai was getting increasingly complicated, and everything was wearisome.

Fortunately, there was one thing worth being happy about.

Twenty years ago, he had set an arranged marriage for his granddaughter, and now, his future grandson-in-law has come to Binhai. A man of striking appearance, with even greater abilities than this old man.

He believed that Sun Group in the hands of his future grandson-in-law would surely be well managed.

Tomorrow would be the engagement day for his grandson-in-law and his granddaughter, and thinking of this, the tense nerves of Sun Yusheng finally relaxed a bit.

...

He had already received the admission notice. Even though he had lived two lifetimes, Lin Hao was still quite excited.

What excited him was not the prospect of studying at Binhai University.

But the fact that he could finally go back and meet his parents.

To him, it had been a thousand years since he last saw his parents, or even in his previous life, he did not get to see his parents for the last time.

To his parents, he owed too much.

The moment Lin Hao got the notice, he purchased a train ticket for two days later.

The next morning, Lin Shiran and Chen Yifan, from out of town, called one after another with joyous news, congratulating him for being the top scholar in both lists.

At the same time, both were admitted to Binhai University, and Chen Yifan’s father decided to keep him abroad for a little longer.

Learning that Lin Hao was returning to his hometown, Lin Shiran kindly instructed Lin Hao to be careful on his way. Then on the phone, with a hint of shyness, she said: "Brother, when can I go with you?"

Since their relationship was confirmed, Lin Shiran began to call Lin Hao ’Brother,’ a very affectionate term.

"Wait for me to go back first, to talk to mom and dad about this, and then I’ll come back to Binhai to get you," Lin Hao smiled and said.

He was not clear about the condition of his parents now and did not want to rashly bring Lin Shiran home, plus his hometown was impoverished, and he did not want Lin Shiran to suffer.

"Okay, I’ll wait for your news," Lin Shiran said sweetly. The two chatted a bit more before hanging up the phone.

"Thump"

"Thump, thump, thump"

Just after he hung up the phone, there was a knock on the door. Zhou Ziwei opened the door, her eyes lighting up.

Because standing at the door was a beautiful woman, dressed in white, standing tall and straight, with a graceful figure, red lips and white teeth, and a beautiful face.

"Hello, auntie." Upon seeing Zhou Ziwei, the woman greeted her politely, "May I ask, is this Lin Hao’s home?"
