Top-Tier Superpower Student

The masked figure beckoned with a hand, and in a flash, from behind him, more than a dozen shadows rushed out. They were also masked, only their clothing was red.

If Lin Tian was present, he would have recognized that even though they had infiltrated the Li Family together, their demeanors were distinctly different.

The figures in black exuded dominance, arrogance, malevolence, and extravagance.

The figures in red possessed a chilling, spectral presence; they were understated and merciless.

The sudden appearance of these powerful individuals meant that the Li Family's bodyguards didn't even have a chance to respond before they were knocked down, indicating the formidable strength of the arrivals.

Realizing that it would be a simple matter for them to kill him and others, Li Xiangqian felt not fear, but a sudden relief.

Despite the differences in their demeanor, it was very clear that among them, the figure in black was the strongest, almost reaching the Half-Step Fusion Realm.

"Please,"

Li Xiangqian made a welcoming gesture towards a chair, inviting the figure in black to sit.

Once seated, Li Xiangqian said, "Let's talk, what do you need me to do?"

The figure in black replied, "Though I am strong, I cannot take action lightly. I can send my subordinates to assist you. What you need to do is, by whatever means necessary, lure Lin Tian here to this location!"

He then pulled out a map, pointing to a small grove on the outskirts of Wu'an City.

Wu'an City?

Li Xiangqian was puzzled. Lin Tian was currently in the Capital City; why was it necessary to lure him to a small grove in Wu'an? What was this figure in black really playing at?

Confused but compliant, he nodded, yet added, "To lure him into the grove, we must first draw Lin Tian to Wu'an City. This...!"

The figure in black stated, "You need not worry about this matter. At the latest, by tomorrow night, I'll see to it that Lin Tian arrives in Wu'an City."

Having said this, the figure quickly departed, moving faster than a car.

The multitude of figures in red also quickly left, vanishing before Li Xiangqian's eyes in the blink of an eye.

They came in a hurry, and just as quickly, they were gone.

...,....

At two o'clock in the morning, while Lin Tian was sound asleep and dreaming in his hotel, his phone suddenly rang.

Noticing the time, he saw it was two o'clock. To his surprise, it was Wang Ying calling.

Lin Tian trembled in fear; the drowsy man suddenly became completely alert.

Wang Ying wouldn't call for no reason at two in the morning. A call at this hour surely meant something had happened—and it wasn't good.

"Hello, Wang Ying, what's wrong?" Lin Tian asked anxiously.

"It's nothing serious. Just now, a few strong figures attempted to kidnap your sister-in-law, but we fended them off. The attackers were very powerful. Big brother, I'm worried about unexpected mishaps, so you should hurry back and check on things!"

Relieved to hear it wasn't serious, Lin Tian hurried out of bed. After a quick wash, he messaged Wang Yuan via WeChat to explain the situation, urging him to be cautious and continue with enough manpower to smash the industries under the Li Family's banner.

Afterward, Lin Tian found a car and returned to Wu'an City.

Since everything was fine at home, Lin Tian was not too anxious, and by the time he returned to Wu'an City, it was already dawn.

Upon arriving at the apartment, Lin Tian found Wang Ying, Jiang Hui, and the eighteen Celestial Generals all guarding the place. Inside the apartment were He Qianqian, Bu Mengting, Shen Mengyi, Chen Lihui, He Dong, and his parents—the important people in Lin Tian's life were all there, under comprehensive protection.

Now was a critical period, and even corporate affairs could be set aside; life was the most important, and safety was the top priority.

Seeing Lin Tian's return, Wang Ying and Jiang Hui finally relaxed their tense hearts.

Lin Tian asked, "What happened? Did you see what the person looked like?"

Wang Ying answered, "Ever since you went to the Li Family, Big Brother, I've been strengthening our perimeter defense. Last night, the moment we spotted a figure, I ordered to shoot, and the Celestial Generals also rushed out immediately. So, the figure didn't even touch the apartment's wall before retreating. I didn't get a clear look at them, but judging from their skills, they're definitely a master, and their movements were shadowless and formless, just like a professional assassin!"

Lin Tian patted both Wang Ying and Jiang Hui on the shoulders, saying, "Good work, you've worked hard!"

This assassin, Lin Tian speculated, was almost certainly sent by the Li Family.

Wang Yuan would continue to erode the Li Family's assets gradually starting tomorrow. Driven into a corner, the Li Family might send even stronger assassins to Wu'an City. Lin Tian decided not to leave and to stay in Wu'an City instead.

Lin Tian said, "Don't spread the news of my return. I will personally guard here. If the assassin dares to come again, I will ensure they won't leave alive!"

"Yes!"

...,....

In Capital City, at the Li Family residence.

Li Xiangqian once again gathered the important members of the Li Family to discuss matters.

Li Xiangshang started, "Big brother, are you sure those people we hired yesterday are reliable?"

Li Xiangqian replied, "We can't break into Wu'an City, and as our assets are being slowly eroded, our Li Family is out of options. We have to trust them."

An elder said, "Those people obviously have ill intentions. We must have a backup plan and be ever alert!"

Li Xiangqian sighed helplessly, "I'll visit the third brother later. Our Li Family has truly reached a critical juncture for survival. At all costs, I must swallow my pride and ask for the third brother's help. Even if he only makes a move, or just speaks a word, or brings a person with him, it will greatly boost the morale of our Li Family and make those harboring evil intentions think twice."

After discussing among themselves, a few elders agreed, "Alright, that's the only way. We will accompany you later. I am your uncle by seniority. If it comes to it, I will kneel and beg the third brother. If he refuses, I am prepared to die in front of him. The Li Family cannot fall. The legacy built by our family over generations cannot be destroyed by Lin Tian's hands!"

"Thank you, uncle!" Li Xiangqian bowed in gratitude.

After a moment of silence, Li Xiangshang spoke again, "Big brother, they asked us to lure out Lin Tian, but now, it's difficult for us even to get a glimpse of Tianyi Pharma. How can we lure out Lin Tian?"

Indeed, that was a significant problem.

With Wu'an City impregnable, as long as Lin Tian stayed inside without coming out, he was in an unbeatable position. What could be done to lure Lin Tian out?

The group discussed animatedly, whispering to one another, but ultimately, they came to no conclusion.

Li Xiangqian paced back and forth on the spot, racking his brain for a long time, and finally, he clenched his fists, his mouth corners revealing a fierce determination.

"Big brother, do you have a plan?" Li Xiangshang asked.

"The war has begun, and the killing intent has been set. The only way to force Lin Tian out of the impregnable Wu'an City," he said.

"Kill!"
