Extraordinary Medical Saint in the City-Chapter 13 - : The Number One Person in Ancient State!
Chapter 13: Chapter 13: The Number One Person in Ancient State!
"Get up!"
Lin Fan gently shook his head, explaining, "I am not a Martial Arts Grandmaster, and I also dislike the title Master Lin. Elder Jiang, please do not address me in this manner anymore."
"Hmm?"
Jiang Yunzhi was startled.
However, since it was Lin Fan speaking, he didn't dare to say much else and nodded, "Alright! Then I shall call you... Mr. Lin, shall I?"
"That will do."
This time, Lin Fan did not refuse.
"Mr. Lin, your strength is truly astounding. Master Wan just now, at least a mid-level Martial Artist with Inner Strength, yet with a mere raise of your hand, you forced him to kneel. It truly broadens one's horizons!" Jiang Yunzhi couldn't help but exclaim in admiration.
"By the way, Elder Jiang, what is the background of Tang Yinkun just now?" Lin Fan asked with some curiosity.
"Sigh!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yunzhi sighed deeply.
It was as if he was recalling a painful period from the past.
"This has to start from five years ago!"
"Before five years ago, my Jiang Family in Jiangnan province, if not the first family, being in the top three was indisputable! However, as circumstances changed and with my children failing to live up to expectations, the Xiao Family gradually rose above us!"
"Three years ago, some of the tycoons in the city, seeing the decline of the Jiang Family, switched support to the Xiao family!"
"Moreover, the Qin Family from Jingzhou also supported the rise of the Xiao family, resulting in their unmatched influence in Jiangnan province. Many of my subordinates also went bankrupt, companies closed down, and even my Jiang Family couldn't escape unscathed," Jiang Yunzhi said, his face darkened.
"Qin Family!"
Lin Fan's gaze slightly hardened, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

Though he had already killed the major figures of the Qin Family.
However, the formidable Qin Family did not crumble due to the deaths of a few main members but continued to operate.
"What? Mr. Lin, you..." Jiang Yunzhi looked at Lin Fan somewhat astonished.
"It's nothing, continue," Lin Fan shook his head.
"Later, my Jiang Family, completely unable to stabilize in the city, only then did I think of retreating with honor and chose to retire in Ancient State to eschew the worldly competitions." Jiang Yunzhi explained.
To put it nicely, Jiang Yunzhi retired with honor, withdrawing from the urban circle and retiring to Ancient State!
But.
If not put nicely, then he, Jiang Yunzhi, was driven out.
Otherwise, given the reputation Jiang Yunzhi had built in the city, why would someone like Tang Yinkun dare to make a scene at his birthday celebration?
This was unimaginable in the past!
Suddenly.
"Mr. Lin, if you are willing to help us, from today onwards, in this one acre and three quarters of Ancient State, you say one, we will never say two, if you bid us go west, we will never go east!" Jiang Yunzhi solemnly stated.
"What?"
"Elder Jiang! This... this is not appropriate..."
All the tycoons present shivered, the look in their eyes towards Jiang Yunzhi filled with shock; if this were true, wouldn't it mean that all these tycoons had become subordinates to Lin Fan?
However, Jiang Yunzhi's face remained solemn as he exclaimed:
"What do you know? Only with a Grandmaster like Mr. Lin stationed in Ancient State, can Xiao Tingshan, the old fellow, hold any fear. Otherwise, believe it or not, in less than two years, the entire Ancient State will be swallowed by the Xiao family!"
"This..."
The numerous tycoons present exchanged glances, Jiang Yunzhi's words held truth; if they didn't find a strong backer soon, their territories were truly doomed.
After a brief silence!
A slightly overweight middle-aged tycoon stepped forward and knelt down before Lin Fan with a bang, saying:
"Chairman Zhou Jingrong of Fenggu Group, greeting Mr. Lin!"
The others present hesitated momentarily.
Nevertheless, the other tycoons soon reacted likewise, coming forward one by one and kneeling before Lin Fan.
"Chairman Liu Penghua of Changfeng Automobiles, paying respects to Mr. Lin!"
"President Yang Jinghui of Fenghua Real Estate, paying respects to Mr. Lin, from today on, Mr. Lin is our number one person in Ancient State!"
"Baiye Group..."
"..."
For a moment, the sound of kneeling and the voices greeting Lin Fan were incessant.
At this time.
A few waiters in the hotel.
Just pushed the door open, and when they saw the scene before them, they were so shocked that their jaws dropped to the floor!
The prominent and wealthy bigwigs of Ancient State, all kneeling there.
Facing a young man about seventeen or eighteen years old.
This seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man, standing firm like a robust pine tree.
Showing no sign of fear before this group of rich bigwigs.
"My god! These are all top tycoons from our Ancient State! And they are... they are all kneeling before this young man?"
The waiters, frozen in the act of pushing the door open, became completely stiff, as if turned to stone!
However.
What shocked them even more came afterwards, as Jiang Yunzhi again slowly knelt down!
"Mr. Lin, considering everyone's sincerity, please agree to our request!"
"Old Master Jiang is kneeling too!"
The group of waiters at the door were thoroughly shaken.
Their pupils contracted sharply, as if they had seen a ghost!
Looking at Lin Fan's silhouette, their faces filled with amazement!
Lin Fan frowned slightly, pondering secretly.
'If I were to act alone, who knows how long it would take to find news of my father!'
'These tycoons of Ancient State have both money and connections. If I let them search, perhaps the information would come faster!'
Thinking this, Lin Fan nodded in agreement.
"Alright!"
"However, I have a few conditions!"
"Please say!"
Seeing Lin Fan agree, Jiang Yunzhi and others' faces lit up.
"Firstly, last time you played chess at that maple forest, my mother is buried there. I want that maple forest sealed off from today, a monument erected for my mother, and outsiders forbidden to enter the forest and disturb her peace." As Lin Fan talked about his mother's affairs, a serious expression emerged on his face.
"Okay!"
Jiang Yunzhi, not giving it a second thought, agreed on the spot.
A mere maple forest was, to him, a trivial matter.
"Secondly, use all your power to look for the pattern shown on this paper. If even a hint of a clue arises, report to me immediately." As Lin Fan spoke, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, on which was drawn the pattern from the Ancient Jade, a keepsake of his mother's left by his father.
"Rest assured, we will do our utmost to find it."
Jiang Yunzhi took the paper Lin Fan handed over and saved it very solemnly.
"One more thing, I would like my identity kept secret; I don't prefer too much exposure."
Lin Fan added another comment.
"Understood! Understood!"
Jiang Yunzhi and others quickly nodded their heads.
As long as Lin Fan, a Martial Arts Grandmaster, stays in Ancient State, at least for the next few years, they can rest easy.
"You guys, go down later and register. If today's matter leaks out, don't blame me for not being polite!"
Jiang Yunzhi's gaze shifted, landing on the group of waiters at the entrance of the banquet hall.
The waiters' faces turned pale instantly, and they nodded hurriedly, indicating that today's events would absolutely be kept confidential!
At the same time, these waiters deeply understood.
From today onward, the number one bigwig in Ancient State is no longer Old Master Jiang, but this—young man right here!
At this moment.
The crowd outside the banquet was still celebrating Jiang Yunzhi's seventieth birthday.
Yet they were unaware that Lin Fan himself had already become the top figure in the entire pyramid of Ancient State!
