"Who dares to touch my wife, Lin Tian? I'll kill him myself!"

Imperial Dynasty Hotel.

Lin Tian, holding half a wine bottle, stood protectively in front of a stunningly beautiful woman, with a flushed face.

"Damn! Where did this madman come from? Has he taken the wrong pills?"

Chen Qiming, covering his bleeding head, roared in rage.

He had been making an unwelcome move on Yuan Ruoxi who was somewhat tipsy.

An angry security guard rushed in.

Without uttering a word, he picked up a wine bottle and smashed it on Chen's head...

Chen, unprepared, was instantly left with a head gushing with blood.

He is a top tycoon in Yunzhou with a net worth of over a billion!

And he just got harmed for no apparent reason by a security guard.

How was he supposed to face people in the future?

Thinking about this, Chen Qiming angrily ordered his bodyguard, "What are you stunned for? Beat him to death!"

As the bodyguard was about to start.

The woman Lin Tian was protecting behind him scolded: "Lin Tian, have you lost your mind? Who asked you to meddle in this?"

"Honey, if you are in trouble, you can always tell me, I'm here to help you. You don't have to seek help from this good-for-nothing!", exclaimed Lin Tian, trying to pull her away by the hand.

However, Yuan Ruoxi, with her teary eyes flashing in anger retorted, "Help me? Our company currently needs over 50 million to survive through this tough phase. What could you possibly do to help me?"

Having heard Yuan Ruoxi's words, Chen Qiming instantly understood the identity of the security guard. In a mocking tone, he sniggered, "So you are the fool son-in-law of the Yuan family, aren’t you?"

At these words, Yuan Ruoxi's face color visibly changed.

She despised when people mentioned anything related to her and Lin Tian.

It was a painful memory that she could never get rid of!

In the past, to repay Lin Tian’s life-saving grace, she had married him despite everyone's strong opposition.

Their wedding had made the headlines, turning into the laughing stock of the entire Yunzhou city.

Recalling this, Yuan Ruoxi angrily snapped, "Lin Tian, isn't this shameful enough for you? Get out, I don't want to see you right now!"

Chen Qiming smirked triumphantly upon hearing her words, "Kid, off you go! Right now, only I have the power to pull together 50 million for your wife!"

"Is it just about the 50 million? Honey, if you come back with me, I can manage even five billion for you!" Lin Tian, pulling Yuan Ruoxi, wished to leave the scene, "You had too much to drink, honey. Let's go home, you don't need him!"

"Enough!", Yuan Ruoxi cried out.

Yuan Ruoxi abruptly let go of Lin Tian's hand, her eyes welling up as she said spitefully, "Lin Tian, have you earned a single penny in my house over the past three years? Where did you get fifty million to help pay off my debt?"

"Do you have any idea how many people have mocked me because of your incompetence?"

Tears slipped from Yuan Ruoxi's eyes.

All the grievances of the past three years poured out in this emotional moment!

Yuan Ruoxi simply didn't believe a word Lin Tian said.

For the last three years, he'd been nothing but a layabout, neither working nor helping out with her company.

Where could he possibly have gotten five hundred million from?

No one would ever believe it!

"Get out! I can't stand to see you!"

Without giving Lin Tian a chance to reply, Yuan Ruoxi shoved him right out of her room.

"President Chen, I'll agree to anything as long as you sign the contract!"

She had to secure this fifty million contract, or her company would go bankrupt!

Chen Qiming knew that Yuan Ruoxi was cornered.

He brazenly said, "Want me to sign the contract? It's quite simple, you just have to drink this bottle of wine!"

...

After being pushed out the door, Lin Tian's phone suddenly rang.

He pulled out his mobile and saw a text message from an unfamiliar number.

"Master Lin, your test period is completed, the family resources are at your disposal!"

Seeing the message, Lin Tian couldn't hide his excitement.

"Perfect! I can finally reveal my true strength!"

He was a martial arts master and was sent by his family for years of honing his abilities.

Within these years, he was not permitted to use his martial power and his bank accounts were completely frozen.

Any rule breaking would lose him the eligibility to succeed as the Family Head!

To his surprise, however, he was attacked by a mysterious assassin.

Having suffered severe injuries, he saved old Master Yuan and, through a series of involuntary circumstances, had married into Yuan's family.

Even though he was treated poorly and mocked for marrying into the family, he was able to stay hidden from his vengeful enemies, waiting for the probation period to end.

Thinking of this, he immediately dialed a number: "Uncle Feng, I'm at the Imperial Dynasty Hotel, I need to see you in thirty seconds!"

Less than thirty seconds after he made the call, a chubby middle-aged man respectfully walked up to Lin Tian.

"Master Lin, long time no see!"

Seeing the man at that moment, Lin Tian was somewhat surprised.

However, his brow quickly smoothed over, nodding as if it were only natural.

Uncle Tang had watched him grow up from a young age.

His strength, Lin Tian knew it well.

"Uncle Tang, I've already told you the details over the phone, I don't want to expose my identity."

"Understood, Young Master, rest assured, a simple real estate boss, I can take him down with one finger!"

With an easy-going tone, Uncle Tang turned and began to nonchalantly walk down the hotel corridor.

"Stop, who is that? Do you know where you are?"

The bodyguard was about to stop him, but in the next second, he was screaming in pain.

Uncle Tang had rendered his hand useless!

Seeing this, the others backed off in fear.

Lin Tian knew that these bodyguards and security officers were no match for Uncle Tang.

Meanwhile, in the hotel private room.

Chen Qiming playfully urged Yuan Ruoxi to sit down and continue drinking.

But due to his previous uncontrollable grope, a frightened Yuan Ruoxi stood up and dodged away.

The bottle of wine shattered on the floor, staining the carpet red.

"Ruoxi, earlier you were willing to agree to anything, why are you hesitating now? Don’t you want to sign the contract anymore?”

Chen Qiming took out the contract again and slapped it in front of Yuan Ruoxi, his face stern.

"Mr. Chen, I can drink with you, but you cannot touch me!”

In order to save the company and secure this contract worth more than fifty million, Yuan Ruoxi had no choice, picking up her glass ready to down it all in one go.

Just at this moment, the door of the private room was kicked open.

"Damn it, who's the blind dog who dares to ruin my good things?”

Chen Qiming had his back to the door, but hearing the door being kicked open, he immediately started cursing.

But when he saw who it was, he was scared stiff.

The bottle of wine in his hand dropped with a clang on the carpet, splashing wine all over it.

He quickly put on a smiling face, fawning, "Oh, it's Uncle Tang! How did you find me here? Didn’t I promise your men that I would pay you in full next month?”

The last thing he expected was for it to be Elder Tang.

And who was Elder Tang?

He was a big shot who held sway in the entire city of Yunzhou!

A big shot with such vast connections was not someone he, a small-time boss, could easily provoke.

Old Tang narrowed his eyes, speaking in a frosty tone, "That is your business with those below, it has nothing to do with me. I'm giving you one last chance now. Return that 80 million within half an hour, or don't blame me for being rude!"

Upon hearing these words, Chen Qiming instantly turned pale with fear.

Eighty million in half an hour.

"Where can I get this much money?"

"Uncle Tang, please give me one more day! I guarantee I'll pay back double tomorrow!"

"How dare you bargain with me?"

Old Tang's face darkened, looking down at him condescendingly.

Chen Qiming quivered in fear, quickly fell to his knees and entreated, "Please calm down, Master Tang. I'm going back to prepare for you immediately!"

He watched as Chen Qiming, who had just been discussing a 50-million contract, rushed out in a panic because of an 80-million debt.

Yuan Ruo Xi held her wine glass, looking clueless.

At this point, Lin Tian pushed the door and came in.

He snatched the wine glass from Yuan Ruo Xi's hand and poured it out, then prepared some hangover remedy for her. "Wife, you have to believe me. It's just 50 million. I will definitely find a way to help you."

"You? Forget it, I'll figure it something out by myself!"

Yuan Ruo Xi never believed that Lin Tian could help her. With a sweep of her hand, she brushed off Lin Tian and walked out furiously.

She didn't believe that a jobless son-in-law could help her at all.

Three years ago, she had sent people to investigate Lin Tian.

An orphan with no family or friends.

How ridiculous to think that he could help himself with fifty million!

Watching Yuan Ruoxi leave, Lin Tian could only helplessly smile.

Just as he was about to chase after her, his phone rang.

Looking at the caller ID, it was from Elder Tang.

The moment he picked up, he could hear Elder Tang say, "Young Master, things have been taken care of!"

"Elder Tang, I've known for years that you've been protecting me in secret. Thank you for your hard work!"

Elder Tang had silently guarded him from the shadows for a very long time.

This loyalty had long gone beyond the typical master-servant relationship.

"Why are you being so formal with me, young master? Seeing you slowly grow makes me very comforted," Elder Tang replied.

Elder Tang paused before asking, "Young master, Huo Chenggang, the chairman of Dynasty Chain Hotels, would like to invite you for a meal. Would you like to meet him?"

After hearing this, Lin Tian pondered for a moment before answering, "Let's meet. Invite all the top executives from the Shadow Escort's twelve divisions in the northwest as well."

The Lin family, as one of the top global tycoons, owns thirty-six Shadow Escort divisions and eighty-one affiliated families.

And among them, the northwestern twelve divisions of the Shadow Escort were under Elder Tang's jurisdiction.

Since he was about to rejoin the family soon, it would be wise to meet them and prevent any misunderstandings.

With these words, Lin Tian suddenly asked, "Elder Tang, have all my accounts been unlocked after the trials?"

"Yes, Young Master. All of your accounts have been fully unsealed, with more than 120 billion in available funds!"
