226: Actually, what I'm about to do is a really good thing.

What to do.

Lin Yu went over those two words in his mind.

Wang Han dared not act rashly and came to ask a twenty-three-year-old young man like him what to do.

This in itself was an extremely absurd, yet incomparably realistic situation.

When the disparity in power reached a certain level, age, seniority, and status all lost their meaning.

Wang Han had witnessed the strength of those from the Abyss Domain, and he had also seen the battles of top-tier Professionals.

Lin Yu's fingers tapped lightly on the cold cover of the file, producing a monotonous "tap, tap" sound.

The reading room was very quiet.

Wang Qingxuan stood to the side, deliberately slowing her breathing for fear of disturbing his thoughts.

She had originally treated this matter as a joke, but after her dad educated her on the terrifying aspects—if handled poorly, bankruptcy and liquidation were certain, and he, Wang Qingxuan, and Qingxuan's mother could very likely be devoured until not even bones remained, even in the literal sense.

Now, among the people Wang Han knew, perhaps only Lin Yu could save Heavenly Aegis and the Wang family.

These words left Wang Qingxuan's small face deathly pale.

Now, when facing Lin Yu, her feelings were even more complicated.

Lin Yu was not that nervous; perhaps it was his increasingly formidable power, perhaps the passive effects of numerous primeval level skills, or perhaps the tempering of those five years of monotonous life—in any case, he would not easily experience emotional fluctuations.

What to do?

Wang Han's question was not actually a question.

Given Wang Han's position and capabilities within Tianqing Group, as long as he made up his mind, even if he couldn't uproot the forces of the Abyss Domain, he could at least launch a major purge that would severely wound them and temporarily curb the other party's infiltration.

He was just afraid.

He feared the turmoil that the purge would bring, feared the crazy retaliation from the Abyss Domain forces, and feared dragging the entire Tianqing Group, and even his own family, into an abyss of no return.

Therefore, he came to ask Lin Yu, not to seek a method.

It was to seek a guarantee.

A guarantee that could help him mend the sky after he had pierced it.

Lin Yu's thoughts, however, were already no longer on the matter of Tianqing Group itself.

The Abyss Domain.

These guys were like rats in a sewer, silently digging holes everywhere.

Tianqing Group had them.

Then, were his true targets—Fengxing Technology, Juli Group, and Panshi Biology, these three pharmaceutical giants—actually clean?

Lin Yu's fingertips stopped.

Why?

Why was the Abyss Domain's style of operation so sneaky?

Judging from that incident with Chen Ao, those two Visitors from the Abyss Domain who tore through space to rescue him were definitely of top-tier strength.

Although they fled in a sorry state in the end, that was while facing his million-fold Lightning Spell.

On Blue Star, that kind of power was already enough to walk sideways.

Yet they did not.

They chose the most troublesome and inefficient methods of infiltration, bribery, and assimilation.

What were they afraid of?

Was there some top-tier powerhouse hidden on Blue Star that they were wary of?

Or was it that the inside of the Abyss Domain was not an iron plate, and their actions were restricted in some way, daring not to be too ostentatious?

Li Mo's cautious nature, and his habit of kneeling faster than anyone else, perhaps wasn't just a personal character issue.

Thinking more was useless.

Lin Yu raised his head and looked at Wang Qingxuan, who was standing straight to the side.

"Your father is right not to act," he said.

His words were calm, yet they made Wang Qingxuan tense up instantly.

"He cannot handle this matter," Lin Yu continued. "Tell him to stop all investigations and just pretend he knows nothing."

"Huh?" Wang Qingxuan was somewhat stunned. "But..."

But, if left alone, wouldn't the group...

Lin Yu did not explain; he simply took out his phone and, in front of Wang Qingxuan, pulled up a number.

Li Mo.

The communication was connected almost instantly, and Li Mo's incredibly respectful, even slightly fawning voice came from the other side.

"Boss! You're looking for me!"

"Fengxing Technology, Juli Group, Panshi Biology."

Lin Yu's speaking pace was not fast, but every word was incredibly clear.

"I want to see the people who are truly in charge of them."

Li Mo on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted, his tone rising a few notches.

"Yes! Boss! I will handle it immediately! May I ask... do you need me to convey the intention of the meeting to them?"

"Tell them in advance."

Lin Yu leaned back in his chair and changed to a more comfortable position.

"I want their medicine."

"I want their technology as well."

"Tell them to bring their sincerity and come see me."

"..."

There was a deathly silence on the other end of the phone.

After a full three seconds, Li Mo replied with a trembling voice mixed with horror and fanaticism.

"Un... Understood! I'll go handle it right now!"

The communication hung up.

Lin Yu placed his phone casually on the table, making a soft sound.

In the entire reading room, only Wang Qingxuan's increasingly rapid breathing remained.

She was completely frozen.

She had understood every word of those few sentences just now.

But when combined, they formed a storm that caused her brain to crash.

Using a tone that was almost like an order, he was summoning the actual controllers of the three pharmaceutical giants simultaneously.

And then, with a tone of taking it for granted, he said he wanted their medicine and their technology.

This is...

What is he doing?

Lin Yu paid no attention to her shock.

He just sat quietly, and a strange feeling rose from the bottom of his heart.

A little nervous.

And also, inexplicably... excited.

To put it bluntly, what was the difference between this behavior and highway robbery?

It was just that what he was robbing wasn't money, but companies.

This was his first time doing something like this; he wasn't very experienced in this line of work.

But... it was okay.

Lin Yu silently annotated his own behavior in his heart.

He wasn't short on money, nor was he short on resources.

It was just that due to technical issues, his path to becoming stronger had slowed down.

He just needed a platform, a platform that could rapidly convert his infinite resources into overall technological progress.

The three major pharmaceutical companies were the ready-made, best platforms.

Their R&D teams, their production lines, their sales channels... were all things he lacked.

Lin Yu's plan was actually not complicated at all; for the three major pharmaceutical merchants—ah, let's include Li Mo's Qingyun Pharmaceutical too, the four major pharmaceutical merchants.

For them, this was no different from picking up money.

Lin Yu would use infinite replication, borrowing infinite finished products and resources, to make technological breakthroughs, helping the medicinal effects break through the five-hundred-point ceiling.

Yes, exactly; he would provide money, materials, and medicine, while the four major pharmaceutical merchants would provide experience, effort, and technology.

He could even forgo sharing the final profits... when it came to money, he had long since had more than he could spend.

But compared to stopping them to give them a pie, stopping them to rob them was easier for people to accept.

What kind of situation was this?

Sigh, in the end, he was still of low status and little influence; talking about cooperation directly was absolutely impossible. If he had caused a conflict then, it might have been much more violent than it was now.

So he had to take a big detour.

Even though his intervening would actually be a good thing for the four major pharmaceutical merchants and for the entire Blue Star.

It was just that before realizing this "good deed," he had to first appear more aggressive, like a real "robber."

That's right!

Damn it, what he was doing wasn't a bad thing!

He just had to be arrogant!

I'm coming to your door to give you a huge pie; do I have to beg you for it?
