Celestial Night Emperor

Chapter 179: Chapter 179: Behind the Curtain

Jinling International Hotel was home to the largest press conference hall in the city.

At this moment, media from all sides had gathered, and all twelve of the Jinling Commerce Associations were present!

They had all suddenly received the news early in the morning, arriving in a hurry and utterly bewildered.

”What’s going on today?”

”Yeah, Longyue Group? Never heard of them before.”

”Shh, inside info. Longyue Group just swallowed up more than thirty financial firms in our Jinling. They’ve also got the support of the Golden Sparrow Silver Alliance. To put it bluntly, they’re loaded and reckless!”

”Exactly! All those financial firms they acquired were losing money. If that’s not stupid, what is?”

”But this Longyue Group is making a big show of it. Look, even the heads of several Jinling departments are here.”

As they were chatting, more footsteps were heard.

The new arrivals were none other than the Governor of Jinling, Gandong Mountain, and the CEO of the Golden Sparrow Silver Alliance in Jinling!

The moment these two appeared, the entire hall fell silent!

Gandong Mountain represented the supreme authority of Jinling’s upper echelons.

The Golden Sparrow Silver Alliance, on the other hand, represented the God of Wealth in the business world!

Everyone held their breath, unable to believe their eyes.

What on earth were the origins of this Longyue Group? They had actually managed to invite both the Governor and the Golden Sparrow Silver Alliance.

But what happened next shocked them even more!

Representing Jinling, Gandong Mountain spoke briefly, stating that he would fully support the Longyue Financial Group. He said he was greatly honored to attend the Longyue Group’s press conference and believed that Longyue’s investment in Jinling would further enhance the competitiveness of the thousand-year-old ancient city...

These were all just words for public consumption.

The few bigwigs in the audience understood immediately. Governor Guan’s meaning was that Longyue Group had powerful backing, which was why he was offering his full support, and his tone was extremely respectful.

”Greatly honored!” Even Gandong Mountain himself had said he was honored.

After Gandong Mountain finished speaking, the representative from the Golden Sparrow Silver Alliance took the stage. His words were even more simple and direct.

”The Golden Sparrow Silver Alliance will spare no effort in fully supporting Longyue Group!”

Spare no effort, full support!

With the backing of a God of Wealth like the Golden Sparrow Silver Alliance, wouldn’t they be invincible?

Getting any amount of money would be no problem at all!

The heads of Jinling’s major commerce associations exchanged glances, unable to stop themselves from standing up and desperately trying to find out who the secret boss of Longyue Group was!

But they couldn’t find out a single thing.

At that moment, backstage at the press conference, Qin Tianxuan was looking through a report on the establishment of Longyue Group.

”Prince, good job. You managed to pull together this Longyue Group overnight!”

Qin Tianxuan rarely praised his subordinates directly.

It was mainly because what Prince had done this time was truly brilliant.

Prince, standing opposite him, wiped sweat from his brow. ”To be honest, Sir, I really pulled out all the stops this time. The total capital invested reached six hundred billion. If the Dongshen Financial Group hadn’t just finished its integration, and without the support from the Golden Sparrow Silver Alliance, I really couldn’t have pulled this off!”

Standing behind Qin Tianxuan, Ye Mingzhu heard this and her body trembled violently.

’S-Six hundred billion?’

’Is this for real?’

The richest man in Jinling, the boss of the Linghai National Medicine Group, was only worth around a hundred billion!

’And Mr. Qin just casually mobilized six hundred billion in funds for a single plan?’

’Isn’t that the equivalent of six of Jinling’s richest men?’

Ye Mingzhu felt a little dizzy.

Just then, Qin Tianxuan put down the file and suddenly turned his head. ”Ye Mingzhu, get ready. Change your clothes, wash your face. In a little while, you will go out and speak on behalf of Longyue Group!”

After speaking, he casually tossed a newly made name tag over to her.

Ye Mingzhu tremblingly caught the name tag. It was a badge-style one that could be pinned to her chest.

On it were the words: Chief Executive Officer of Longyue Group, Ye Mingzhu!

Ah! She flinched in fright.

”What are you afraid of? You’re the CEO of Longyue Group now. You’re about to go out and face all the major powers of Jinling. You can’t look like this,” Qin Tianxuan said faintly.

Ye Mingzhu just felt scared. ”Why? Why choose me?”

She knew very well that she would just be a puppet out there. The real player, hidden behind the curtain, was the truly terrifying one.

Qin Tianxuan walked over, his gaze sharp. ”I chose you, first, because you’re a professional in finance. Second, the one I want to deal with is the Divine Doctor Ye Family. They are a behemoth of a family, and they’ve been targeting me for a while. They know my subordinates and my forces well! So this time, I want to use a new face for the job!”

Ye Mingzhu felt a bit faint. ”Handing a six-hundred-billion company over to me... aren’t you afraid I’ll betray you?”

Betrayal!

Qin Tianxuan didn’t answer her question. Instead, he opened a satellite laptop on the table.

A strange image immediately appeared on the screen.

It seemed to be footage from a high-altitude drone. A camouflaged fishing boat could be seen desperately fleeing into the deep sea.

Ye Mingzhu was very confused. ”W-What is this?”

Qin Tianxuan sneered. ”It’s people from Linghai Pharmaceutical. They captured a doctor named Gu Qingzhi. It seems they heard something was up and are now trying to secretly transport her out of the country!”

Ah!

What appeared on the screen was happening in real time.

’This man is terrifying. He can completely control events happening on the sea thousands of miles away?’

Ye Mingzhu’s eyes widened.

She watched as dark warships appeared around the fishing boat. Then, the sky above darkened, filled with all kinds of fighter jets.

Countless black-clad guards fast-roped down in a surprise assault, instantly taking control of the fishing boat.

The screen began to flicker, and various strange cries could be heard.

Then, there was silence.

A moment later, a cold voice came from the computer’s communicator: ”Reporting to Sir, the Ten Thousand Realms Hall mission is complete. All targets have been eliminated on site. We have successfully rescued Gu Qingzhi. Her condition is currently stable. We are sending her back to Jinling immediately!”

Qin Tianxuan said directly, ”Send her to Shenghua Hospital. I want to visit Divine Doctor Gu as soon as possible!”

The Divine Doctor Little Fairy was rescued, just like that.

In a single night, Qin Tianxuan had accomplished three major feats!

Eliminating the Black Dragon Bank!

Establishing the Longyue Group!

Rescuing Gu Qingzhi!

Three tasks, carried out almost simultaneously, and all with their objectives perfectly completed.

What terrifying power was this?

But even more terrifying were the calculations and planning behind the scenes.

Flawless, calm, and meticulous.

Ye Mingzhu grew increasingly fearful of this young man.

But mixed with her fear was an inexplicable sense of adoration.

Because this was a level of power that transcended her understanding!

Qin Tianxuan smiled at her. ”You just asked if I was afraid of you betraying me. Do you understand now?”

Beads of sweat rolled down Ye Mingzhu’s forehead. ”I... I understand. Anyone who betrays you, even if they flee to the ends of the earth, will... will not have a good end!”

Qin Tianxuan sat back in the shadows behind the stage and pointed forward. ”Now, you can go out and start the press conference! Remember, you used to be a trophy piece at the Black Dragon Bank. Now, you are the Chief Executive Officer of Longyue Group!”

His voice was still just as calm.

But in Ye Mingzhu’s eyes, this man in the shadows was truly more terrifying than a demon!
