"Grass!"
Cheng Li stomped her feet in anger, but Lin Fan ignored her completely.
After leaving Tingyun Manor, Lin Fan headed to the Shancheng Group Building.
An hour later, in the president's office of Shancheng Group.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Lin Fan sat upright in the boss's chair, flipping through all the information about the sect.
Gao Xuan sat to the side, waiting for Lin Fan's instructions.
"Gao Xuan, when did the sect start receiving funding?"
Lin Fan stared intently at Gao Xuan and suddenly asked a question.
Gao Xuan replied, "It was decided by Master Lin 40 years ago."
Lin Fan carefully examined a document and read it aloud: "All the bodyguards of the Mountain City Group come from sects."
Upon seeing this, Lin Fan quickly flipped through the pages.
A few minutes later, Lin Fan finished checking the entire document.
He asked in bewilderment, "There's no information about Lin Tiancheng's bodyguards?"
According to the data, the major sects provided a large number of talents to the Mountain City Group, mainly private bodyguards.
The middle and senior management are all equipped with bodyguards, but the president does not.
This is somewhat suspicious.
Gao Xuan took a deep breath and slowly revealed a secret:
"The bodyguards of the president of the Lin family in the mountain city have been the Gao family for generations. The bodyguards of Mr. Lin are my wife and me."
“My wife died more than ten years ago while taking a knife for Mr. Lin. After that, I became Mr. Lin’s only bodyguard.”
Lin Fan was taken aback, his eyes suddenly darkening: "Died while shielding someone from a knife? Does your daughter know about this?"
"I know," Gao Xuan replied calmly, without a trace of personal emotion.
"No wonder--"
Lin Fan suddenly recalled Ren Siyao's emotions when she talked about the Shancheng Group.
I initially thought it was just the young girl's arrogance as a member of the Shancheng Group, but now it seems to be hatred towards the president of the Shancheng Group.
Lin Fan closed his eyes and pondered Gao Xuan's words about dying while taking a knife for someone.
Is someone really trying to assassinate the president of the Shancheng Group?
Suddenly, an image flashed through Lin Fan's mind.
In the hot pot restaurant, Ren Siyao, her face flushed, told him that she knew who had kidnapped her and that she had already taken care of it.
Lin Fan's eyes snapped open, and he looked sharply at Gao Xuan, asking, "Have you found out who kidnapped your daughter?"
"We found out. It was done by the henchmen of the Four Evils of Shancheng. We even caught them in a neighboring city."
Gao Xuan then said incredulously, "But for some reason, the Sword King and Iron Fist, two of the Four Evils of Mountain City, died mysteriously in an unfinished building."
"The Poison King and the Power King are also missing and their fates are unknown."
Lin Fan smiled and said, "Good riddance, saves you from further trouble."
The deaths of the four villains of Shancheng were all related to Lin Fan, but Lin Fan did not tell Gao Xuan.
Gao Xuan nodded and continued, "Through interrogation, I learned that it was my daughter who actively sought out the Four Evils of Shancheng, but ended up being kidnapped instead."
"The Four Evils of the Mountain City were the instigators who murdered my wife and the masterminds who plotted to kill Master Lin."
"Um--"
Lin Fan was relieved. Ren Siyao had approached the Four Evils of Shancheng on her own initiative, so her identity had not been exposed.
With the four evils of the mountain city eliminated, Ren Siyao will no longer be in danger.
However, what troubled Lin Fan was who instructed the Four Evils of Shancheng to assassinate the president of Shancheng Group.
Or perhaps, they weren't acting under orders, but rather it was a task assigned to them by their headquarters, the Yanyang Cult.
The Flaming Sun Cult, it's the Flaming Sun Cult again.
A few days ago at Jubaozhai, regarding the matter of Ji Wuyou's malevolent aura, Lin Fan guessed that it was also the work of the Yanyang Sect.
This is very likely an organization that understands the Nine Netherworlds and possesses considerable strength.
Although the Four Evils of Mountain City were weaklings in Lin Fan's eyes, each of them had reached the Transcendent Realm.
Although it was only at the stage of speculation, it made Lin Fan wary of this mysterious sect.
Fortunately, the Flaming Sun Sect was operating in the shadows, and Lin Fan was also hiding in the shadows.
Lin Fan frowned and instructed Gao Xuan, "Investigate the Yan Yang Sect, investigate thoroughly!"
"Roger that!"
Suddenly, Lin Fan's brows relaxed, and he prepared to discuss the issue of the sect.
Compared to the Flame Sun Sect, the sect seemed much more immature.
"Send a message to all the major sects: from now on, all sect rules must be implemented in accordance with the Mountain City Group's rules, otherwise all financial assistance will be withdrawn."
Lin Fan thought for a moment and said:
"All sects in Shancheng City will simplify their entry ceremonies, with the second stage of body refinement serving as the entry threshold."
"The sect should train its members and act as a martial arts school."
This way, the sect's functions will increase, and it won't steal business from martial arts schools.
Those who aspire to join a sect can first train at the martial arts school to the second level of body refinement.
Lin Fan then said:
"The sect competition in Shancheng City will be held every six months, and it will be divided according to the groups."
"Matches of different skill levels are held separately. You can play against someone of a higher skill level, but you cannot play against someone of a lower skill level."
"Each rank and each sect must send at least one person to participate, and a maximum of three people."
"The same person can only register for one level of competition at the same time."
This significantly reduced the number of people who were just coasting along.
Gao Xuan listened and took notes, putting all the rules Lin Fan mentioned onto paper.
"Oh, and also, sects with insufficient personnel should be merged."
"After this new rule is implemented, the funding allocated to the sects will be doubled as an incentive."
Lin Fan wanted to create a healthy competitive environment, turning the sects in Shancheng City into places for cultivating talent, rather than bases for parasites who just loaf around and do nothing.
After Gao Xuan memorized everything, he looked somewhat hesitant:
"President Lin, if we continue to implement this, it might provoke protests from the board of directors."
Lin Fan waved his hand: "Don't worry about those old guys."
Lin Fan had just learned from the information that the sect was also involved with the interests of the Shancheng Group's board of directors.
This board of directors consists of relatives of the Lin family in Shancheng, to put it bluntly, Lin Fan's several cousins, aunts, and so on.
The board of directors secretly established a fake sect, found a few or even just one martial artist to make him the sect leader, gave the sect a random name, and then asked the Mountain City Group for money.
They pocketed all the money they got.
Lin Fan set new rules, merging sects with insufficient numbers and standardizing sect competitions, which will inevitably eliminate a large number of fake sects, thus indirectly cutting off the board of directors' source of revenue.
Lin Fan frowned and asked again, "Those old guys on the board of directors didn't realize it was a stand-in, did they?"
“We haven’t found any evidence of a body double, but recently there have been a few people making a fuss about getting a DNA test done on the double, and some even want to take your place,” Gao Xuan said.
Lin Fan sneered, picked up the paper cutter on the table, and without hesitation slashed it between his fingers.
Instantly, blood gushed out.
Lin Fan pulled out another tissue and wiped the blood from his fingers.
The crimson blood instantly stained the tissue, then Lin Fan crumpled it up and tossed it to Gao Xuan.
“If those old guys want to do DNA testing, use this piece of paper.”
After saying that, Lin Fan slowly got up and walked towards the hidden door:
"If the board of directors dares to utter another word against it, sink them all!"
