Long Xiao returned to the front courtyard and habitually brewed a pot of tea. Just as he sat down, he heard Luo Tianshui's voice.
"Hurry up and find it for me. If you don't bring it back, you'll be in trouble."
"You can't catch me anyway, so what trouble could there be?"
"Stop right there."
"No, I'll look for it after I've eaten."
Xiao Ming poked his head out and saw Long Xiao about to drink tea. He chuckled and ran over.
"Brother Long, Old Luo was getting anxious because you didn't come back."
Seeing Long Xiao, Luo Tianshui breathed a sigh of relief and sat down opposite him.
"Brother Long, it's good that you're okay. I was worried something might happen to you."
"With Brother Long's strength, how could anything happen?"
Luo Tianshui glared at Xiao Ming and said, "How could nothing happen? China is full of hidden talents, and there are many people stronger than Brother Long."
Xiao Ming poured Long Xiao a cup of tea and asked, "Brother Long, is this guy telling the truth?"
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Tianshui is right. The people I encountered this time were very strong. I didn't dare to make a move and just ran back after shaking them off."
Xiao Ming glumly lowered his head. After a few sips of tea, he said, "We need to be careful from now on and not be too arrogant."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "Yes, if we can avoid fighting, we should do it as little as possible."
"What if someone bullies us?" Xiao Ming asked.
"Strength doesn't necessarily mean fighting. There are other kinds of strength, like hiring people to do the fighting for us, or getting to know influential people and using them."
Luo Tianshu lightly tapped Xiao Ming's head and said, "Do you understand now? Don't just stomp around carelessly from now on, and get yourself some followers."
Xiao Ming looked thoughtfully at Long Xiao and said, "I understand, Brother Long. But I don't know how to do anything other than stomp my feet."
"Xiao Ming, why don't you go to school?"
"No, absolutely not. Hanging out with a bunch of brats has no future."
Seeing Xiao Ming's firm refusal to go to school, Long Xiao didn't try to persuade him further.
The three chatted for a while, and Luan Jiping pushed open the courtyard gate and walked in.
"Long Xiao, are you alright?" Luan Jiping walked quickly to Long Xiao and asked.
Long Xiao looked at Luan Jiping strangely and shook his head. "No, Sister, why do you ask?"
After sitting down, Luan Jiping told Long Xiao that there was news from the Luan family that people from several reclusive sects had appeared in the capital. There were rumors that the peerless divine weapon 'Long Yin' from 'Hanshan Temple' had been born, and the five great families and people from the reclusive sects were all looking for 'Long Yin'.
"Did they find it?" Long Xiao asked.
"'Long Yin' was bought by someone named Ouyang Tuo. People from the reclusive sects and the five great families are all looking for Ouyang Tuo."
Xiao Ming chuckled and said, "They didn't find it, they definitely didn't find it."
"How do you know they didn't find it?" Luan Jiping asked, looking at Xiao Ming in surprise.
Xiao Ming glanced at Long Xiao. Long Xiao took out 'Long Yin' and placed it on the stone table. "Sister, this short sword is 'Long Yin'."
"You got 'Long Yin'?" Luan Jiping exclaimed, picking up 'Long Yin' with surprise and looking at it happily.
Long Xiao nodded and said, "I got it, and I also discovered 'Long Yin's' secret."
"What secret? Tell us quickly," Xiao Ming said, looking at Long Xiao with anticipation.
"'Long Yin' can be controlled remotely, it's better than a pistol."
Luan Jiping placed 'Long Yin' on the stone table. Long Xiao retreated more than ten meters, waved his hand, and 'Long Yin' flew to the top of a tree. With a flash of white light, a branch was cut off.
"My strength isn't enough, so the control distance is less than thirty meters." Long Xiao returned to the stone table and sheathed the sword.
"Long Xiao, the power of the reclusive sects is beyond ordinary people's imagination. This matter of you obtaining 'Long Yin' must not be leaked."
Long Xiao nodded and said, "I know, I won't use 'Long Yin' easily from now on."
Luan Jiping nodded and said, "If you use 'Long Yin', you can't leave any survivors."
After Long Xiao put 'Long Yin' away, Luan Jiping said, "Long Xiao, hurry home and check. Yesterday, Old Mrs. Lin brought people to cause trouble at Xuanxiao Group, and I sent people to drive them away. They might come to your house today."
Long Xiao took out his phone and looked at it. It was only eight in the morning. He said, "I'll go back later. I'll go to the backyard to check on those cancer patients first."
After sending Luan Jiping away, Long Xiao took Tong Hui to the backyard to examine and prescribe medicine for the cancer patients.
For every patient Long Xiao examined, he had Tong Hui take their pulse. For every prescription, he explained the reasoning behind the chosen herbs to Tong Hui.
Tong Hui was quick-witted and made rapid progress. While Long Xiao was away for these few days, these cancer patients were all treated by him.
It was almost noon when Long Xiao drove back to Mangshan No. 1 Villa with Xiao Ming.
As soon as they entered the courtyard, they heard a lot of noise from inside, as if there were many people.
Walking into the living room, Long Xiao saw that the sofa was full of people, including the Lin Shiren family and Lin Xuan's grandmother, as well as the Nangong Xia family.
Nangong Yue and Lin Shijie were standing and explaining something.
Seeing Long Xiao enter, Nangong Yue hurriedly said, "Good son-in-law, you explain this matter."
Xiao Ming knew this was Long Xiao's family affair and he couldn't help, so he went upstairs directly to his room.
Long Xiao looked at everyone in the room and asked, "Mom, what do I need to explain?"
"Lin Xin bankrupted the Lin Group. When the assets were auctioned, Lin Xuan bid and bought back the Lin Group. Now your grandmother and the others are asking us to return the Lin Group's assets to the Lin family."
Long Xiao chuckled and said, "Okay, no problem."
Old Mrs. Lin smiled when she heard Long Xiao say "no problem." "Long Xiao is sensible. Nangong Yue, you only care about money and not family affection."
Lin Xin asked, "Long Xiao, when will you return the Lin Group to me?"
Long Xiao's face darkened. "Lin Xin, do I owe you money, or do I owe you anything?"
Long Xiao shook his head. "You don't owe me anything."
"I don't owe you anything, so why should I return the Lin Group to you?" Long Xiao retorted.
"Didn't you just say you would return it to us?" Lin Xin retorted.
"What I meant was to return the Lin Group to the Lin family, to Grandpa, not to you."
Hearing Long Xiao say he would return the Lin Group to Lin Wei, Lin Xin dared not say anything more.
"Long Xiao, what do you mean? Is there a difference between returning the Lin Group to Lin Xin and returning it to you or your grandfather?"
"Grandma, Lin Xin is a grandson, and I want to return it to Grandpa. Lin Xin bankrupted the Lin Group, and if I give it back to him, he'll just bankrupt it again."
"Will he not go bankrupt if he returns it to your grandfather? He studies physiognomy every day and can't manage things properly," Old Mrs. Lin argued relentlessly.
"Grandma, you should understand a principle now. The Lin Group was bought with my and Lin Xuan's money. I can give it to whomever I want. If you continue to be unreasonable, I will sell the Lin Group."
"You dare! You've rebelled!"
"Grandma, I'm giving Lin Xuan face by talking to you here. Otherwise, I'll immediately call the police and have you all kicked out."
Mangshan No. 1 was Long Xiao's property. Without Long Xiao's permission, it was trespassing.
"Long Xiao, recognize your status. You are a live-in son-in-law of the Lin family."
"Grandma, you should also recognize your status. Grandpa is the head of the Lin family, not you."
Old Mrs. Lin was so angry that she almost fainted. Nangong Xia, sitting on the side, secretly gave Long Xiao a thumbs-up.
Just as the situation was at a stalemate, Lin Wei came downstairs from the second floor. Xue Kai quickly got up to give Lin Wei a seat.
Lin Wei sat down and said, "Stop arguing, everyone. I have the final say on the Lin Group. Shijie will be the CEO, and I'll give the Shiren family ten percent of the shares."
"What about me? What will happen to me?" Old Mrs. Lin asked discontentedly.
"You can move to Mangshan No. 1. You'll have food and drink here. Shares are useless."
Nangong Yue was about to object, but Lin Shijie secretly pulled her, preventing her from speaking.
