Chapter 29: The Reason for the Fall of the Lan Song (Extra Chapter for Alliance Leader Shangguan Yulin)
Lan Xiaobu didn't continue cultivating. He felt that no matter how he trained, his Internal Qi wouldn't increase even a bit. He had tried all the medicinal formulas, except for the last three that were missing herbs, but none worked.
Given his situation, not to mention reaching the Innate Realm in a few months; even in a few years, he feared he wouldn't reach it. This left Lan Xiaobu quite helpless. He couldn't understand how Shang Wei managed to cultivate to the Innate Realm initially. He hadn't even glimpsed the shadow of the Innate Realm; his progress had come to a halt.
Should he go out looking for cultivation methods again, or head straight to Kunlun Mountain?
After a brief hesitation, Lan Xiaobu decided to finish his business and go directly to Kunlun Mountain. It was just rumors that Shang Wei went to the Kunlun Mountain after reaching the Innate Realm. No one knew for sure whether Shang Wei really reached the Innate Realm.
Perhaps, like him, Shang Wei was only in the Meridian Opening Realm when he went to Kunlun Mountain? Besides, cultivating in the Ten Thousand Mountains couldn't be as good as going to Kunlun Mountain, where at least the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was much richer.
Lan Xiaobu organized his belongings. The two hundred thousand he got from Ju Jie was somewhat cumbersome in his bag, but before going to Kunlun Mountain, he needed to purchase some items, so he couldn't discard the money.
The more valuable items were a piece of Sheep Fat White Jade from the Savage Crocodile Gang, the Blue Wing Star, and an unopened box. Luckily, these items didn't take up much space.
Lan Xiaobu came across an extremely green piece of jade and quickly remembered that it was something from Ju Jie. This jade could potentially fetch some money. As he weighed it and was about to store it, he noticed a small button beside the jade.
Lan Xiaobu gently pressed the button, and a storage card fell into his hand.
This is…
He opened his laptop and inserted the storage card. Files and videos appeared before him.
Opening a random file, he found it full of Ju Family's major business secrets. Lan Xiaobu showed no interest in these matters and casually closed it. As he was about to exit, he noticed a file titled "The Plan to Annex Lan Song."
Lan Xiaobu immediately opened this file and saw content that almost made him unable to believe his eyes.
The Lan Song Group was destroyed by the Ju Family, but it was merely under the orders of Qianyin. The reason they wiped out the Lan Song Group was that an upcoming intelligent product from Lan Song Group posed a threat to Qianyin.
He was utterly puzzled. Qianyin was an auctioneer. How could Lan Song Group's intelligent product threaten an auction business? The two seemed completely unrelated.
The plan to destroy Lan Song was extremely simple—just send Ju Yueling into the Lan Song Group, then entangle with Lan Xiangwen. Ultimately, Lan Xiangwen poisoned his father, Lan Xing, and took over the control of Lan Song Group.
The chairman of the board of Lan Song Group was Lan Xing, who was Lan Xiaobu's grandfather. Originally, the first heir to Lan Song Group was Lan Xiaobu's father, Lan Xiangchen, the eldest son of Lan Xing.
But Lan Xiangchen was too engrossed in space travel, spending an enormous amount of money and manpower on it and purchasing an island overseas specifically for space exploration. One day, during a test flight, the craft never returned.
With Lan Xing's way of conducting matters, when Lan Xiangchen went missing, naturally, the first heir to Lan Song Group became his legitimate grandson, Lan Xiaobu.
However, Lan Xing didn't have only one son, Lan Xiangchen. He also had a second son, Lan Xiangwen, and a third son, Lan Xiangwu.
To be fair, the Lan family's upbringing was quite impressive. Even after Lan Xiangchen's incident, both the second son Lan Xiangwen and the third son Lan Xiangwu were determined to work for the Lan Song Group, preparing to support Lan Xiaobu.
During this time, Ju Yueling entered the Lan Song Group. Lan Xiaobu had never seen her beauty, only read about it in this file, where Ju Yueling successfully hooked Lan Xiangwen and harmed Lan Xing, taking over Lan Song Group.
Whether Lan Xiaobu's grandfather Lan Xing was indeed poisoned by his second uncle Lan Xiangwen wasn't shown in the file. However, considering Ju Yueling was entangled with Lan Xiangwen, even if Lan Xiangwen didn't act, Ju Yueling had plenty of opportunities to engage. Lan Xiaobu guessed that Lan Xing's death might be related to Ju Yueling; as for his second uncle Lan Xiangwen, he was likely not depraved to such an extent. But he was no good person either—there's no mention of Lan Xiangwen in this file, implying his essence was likely tainted.
Meanwhile, his third uncle, Lan Xiangwu, sensed something amiss. But the file didn't mention how Ju Yueling and Lan Xiangwen dealt with Lan Xiangwu.
No wonder his mother told him not to change back to the Lan surname until after the college entrance exams; it was for fear he might encounter something similar. Clenching his fists, Lan Xiaobu silently cursed, Ju Family, Qianyin...
It seemed he hadn't killed enough. If he didn't take care of Ju Yueling before leaving Earth, how could he live up to his grandfather Lan Xing?
Lan Xiaobu suddenly recalled his third uncle Lan Xiangwu. He didn't know how Lan Xiangwu disappeared, as he was too young back then. His mother had told him that it was Lan Xiangwu who sent them away safely. Given Ju Family's viciousness, combined with the file's conclusion of completion, Lan Xiaobu feared that Lan Xiangwu met a similar tragic fate.
After closing the file, Lan Xiaobu casually opened a few more videos.
The more he watched, the more appalled he became. The practice of disposing of people at sea was a long-standing tradition of the Ju Family. The former CEO of the Hundred Layers Corporation met the same fate due to the Ju Family. Not only that, but even the genius scientist Shi Weizheng, rumored to have vanished during an expedition, was actually disposed of by the Ju Family at sea.
The Tongyou Mall explosion case, the Xinlian collapse case...
Without watching these videos, Lan Xiaobu would never have thought that all of these incidents were man-made, orchestrated by the Ju Family. They were blatantly committing crimes that filled volumes with their savagery.
Now, Lan Xiaobu understood why the Ju Family intended to dispose of him at sea. It wasn't merely because he couldn't cure the Ju Family Young Master's disease but also because he was the last living Lan family member. They aimed to eradicate any survivors. Fortunately, in this lifetime, he was quick to act, killing both Ju Jie and Ju Jun first.
Lan Xiaobu decided to upload all the other juicy information, excluding the Lan Song document, to the Jianghu Forum.
Wait…
Upon opening the Jianghu Forum, Lan Xiaobu saw the pinned posts. "Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi is abundant on Earth; everyone can cultivate now?"
This still impacted him personally. After reading the post, Lan Xiaobu realized that due to his rebirth, a butterfly effect had occurred, announcing the energy burst to the world over six months earlier than it would have been discovered.
Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi being discovered half a year in advance meant that attention would soon be drawn to Kunlun Mountain, wouldn't it?
Lan Xiaobu quickly resolved to finish up his matters and hurry to Kunlun Mountain. Once others reached this place and found the spacecraft, what happened before his rebirth might happen again. Avoiding nuclear contamination of Earth should be the utmost priority.
As for the Ju Family, he believed that the revelations posted on the Jianghu Forum would spark enough turmoil for others to deal with the Ju Family; it was a pity though, he couldn't personally take care of Qianyin. This left him tremendously helpless, but he had no time left.
Lan Xiaobu was fully aware that if he hunted down Qianyin and dealt with her, someone would likely have ventured into the depths of Kunlun Mountain long before he'd manage. By then, maybe ordinary people would not even be allowed to enter Kunlun Mountain.
…
Lan Xiaobu expected his journey to be rough. To his surprise, with a simple disguise, he encountered no checks or questions along the way. In just a few days, he found himself back in Hu Prefecture.
Upon arriving, Lan Xiaobu swiftly purchased some essential supplies and headed straight to Kunhu Hospital.
He still had over a hundred thousand left; these funds held no value for him. Before entering Kunlun Mountain, he planned to leave this money with Ji Zheng.
Ji Zheng was decent, having helped him a great deal earlier.
Kunhu Hospital was noticeably busier than when he worked there. It was unclear if it was due to its proximity to the richer Qi of Kunlun Mountain or because it had cured the world’s first case of Frozen Silkworm Disease.
The first familiar face Lan Xiaobu encountered wasn’t from Kunhu Hospital, but was his former classmate at Haiyang Medical University, Zhang Meixun.
Zhang Meixun appeared absent-minded, unsure of what to do.
During his years at Haiyang Medical University, Lan Xiaobu and Zhang Meixun never really had any interaction. Firstly, Lan Xiaobu’s young age rendered him too immature compared to the graceful and mature Zhang Meixun. Secondly, he didn’t quite like Zhang Meixun's overly boisterous personality.
Should he say hello? The main reason for considering it was because Zhang Meixun was Su Cen's closest friend.
Considering his imminent entry into Kunlun Mountain, Lan Xiaobu knew chances were slim he’d return. This might be his last chance to learn about Su Cen's situation and relay a message to her. After brief hesitation, he decided to walk over and lightly tapped Zhang Meixun's shoulder. "Zhang Meixun, long time no see. What brings you to Kunhu Hospital?"
