Chapter 510: Familiar Plot

The Chen Family.

Ranked fourth among the Silklake's five major families.

Qin Tian didn't expect that this time, they would be the ones to step forward.

"Let them come to the hall, I'll go down... Wait!"

Qin Tian suddenly felt something was wrong. He noticed that the three brothers from the Chen Family on the screen were showing respectful expressions and casually glancing at the business car behind them.

Could it be that there's someone more important still inside the car, who hasn't come out?

Did the patriarch of the Chen Family personally come?

"Ask for their names."

"And can they represent the Chen Family?"

"Who else is in the car?" He immediately gave instructions to Lao Liu again.

After a solemn negotiation with Lao Liu, another blind old man came out of the car.

Seeing this old man, the three brothers from earlier retreated in fear and respectfully greeted him. Witnessing this scene, Qin Tian couldn't help but have a slight change in expression.

His intuition told him that this old man was extraordinary.

After listening to Lao Liu's report, he furrowed his brows even more.

"Boss, this old man says he represents the Jiang Family. He has no name, so we call him Blind Old Man."

"As for the other three people, their surname is Chen. They are respectively called Chen Da, Chen Er, and Chen San. In the martial world, they are known as the Three-Eyed Yama."

Indeed, one Chen Family wasn't enough weight.

Behind them, there was also the Jiang Family, ranked second.

Qin Tian seemed to have figured out who the person was that impersonated and intercepted Bai Sha halfway yesterday evening.

"Please invite them to the hall for tea!"

"I'll go down immediately!"

The Blind Old Man and the three brothers from the Chen Family also brought a large box. Inside were stacks of colorful banknotes.

Qin Tian feigned ignorance and asked, "I have never met the masters of the Jiang and Chen Families before. Why suddenly such a generous gift?"

"There's a saying that one must not receive benefits without contributing, how can I accept this?"

Chen Da sneered and said, "Even if you don't accept it, you have to."

"Qin Tian, although it's our first meeting, we are well aware of your actions since you and your people arrived in Silklake."

"You manipulated the Yang and Ma families, causing them to suffer losses and setbacks. Do you think they will let you go?"

"Don't think that just because they can't do anything to you at the moment, you can rest easy."

"These two families have combined assets of four to five trillion. As long as they are willing to spare no expense to oppose you, do you think you can escape?"

"As long as they are willing to spend money, how many professional assassins can they buy?"

"Can your family and your wife's company survive?"

Qin Tian's face turned cold. What he detested the most was when someone brought up his family.

"From what you're saying, the Chen and Jiang Families can protect me?"

"But, even if you have the ability, what do you want from me?"

The Blind Old Man suddenly muttered, "The lousy weather in the south, it's only spring, and there are already so many flies. It's really annoying."

As he spoke, his hand seemed to casually flick.

Two cold glimmers flashed and two light sounds came from the air.

Tong Chuan hurriedly went over to take a look and couldn't help but widen his eyes in astonishment.

He saw two flies, nailed to a stone pillar about three zhang away by two thin silver needles.

From such a distance, these two hair-thin silver needles not only pierced through the flies but also penetrated the stone pillar.

What kind of technique was this?

It wasn't just Tong Chuan; Ma Hongtao and the others beside him were also shocked. They admitted they couldn't do such a thing.

Qin Tian's eyes flickered, and he sneered, "So the old man is a high-level cultivator. My apologies."

The Blind Old Man chuckled softly, "Just a small trick, but it should be enough to protect Mr. Qin."

"On this point, Mr. Qin can rest assured, right?"

Qin Tian pondered for a moment and said, "What do you want from me?"

"No need to beat around the bush. I heard that An Guo from South Province and Zhao Tianpeng from Flitz obey your every command."

In nine days, there will be a congress to elect the head of the South Seven Provinces' Commercial Alliance. They each have one vote."

"We hope that at that time, Mr. Qin can persuade them to vote for the Jiang Family."

"If you accept this small gift, we can consider it an alliance."

It had to be said that this blind old man didn't leak a single word in hisspeech, much stronger than last night's Bai Sha.

He straightforwardly asked Qin Tian to help secure those two votes.

Seeing Qin Tian's silence, Chen Er sneered, "Bastard, do you still have a choice?"

"Our two family heads have taken the initiative to extend an olive branch. If you miss this opportunity, you'll have nowhere to hide. Don't regret it."

Qin Tian's expression became solemn, as if he had made a major decision.

"Alright, I agree!"

"I accept the gift, and I will do my best to persuade An Guo and Zhao Ye to support you."

"But in the end, I can't guarantee whether they will agree to my proposal since the voting power is in their hands."

"On this matter, I ask you to go back and explain it to your family heads."

The blind old man smiled and said, "It seems that Mr. Qin is a person who knows the current situation."

"Remember, those two votes are your talisman."

"With the votes, our two family heads will protect you. Without the votes, you'll have to face the crazy retaliation of the Yang and Ma families alone."

"Farewell."

Qin Tian sneered, "No need to see them off."

As he watched the blind old man, escorted by the Chen brothers' bodyguards, board the business car and disappear into the night, a hint of doubt appeared in Qin Tian's eyes.

"Boss, what are you worried about?" Ma Hongtao asked in a low voice.

Qin Tian smiled bitterly, "I have a feeling that a familiar plot is about to unfold."

"Do you think they might be intercepted halfway by someone named 'Qin Tian' just like last night's Bai Sha?"

Ma Hongtao's face turned serious as he replied in a low voice, "If that fake Qin Tian can intercept them, then the problem is serious."

"Especially that blind old man, he's definitely a high-level cultivator."

"Boss, they want to frame us. Shouldn't we do something?"

"No need."

"Like I said before, no one is allowed to leave the hotel."

"We'll just sit here and see how long the bullets can fly."

...

The Three-Eyed Yama and the blind old man completed their mission and left the hotel. Just like Bai Sha last night, they couldn't wait to report the good news to Chen Teng.

Chen Teng was with Jiang Shao, waiting for this news.

He couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Jiang Brother, you're truly brilliant. Originally, I was still worried about how to deal with Qin Tian, a tough nut to crack."

"But now, you've done it. With a single move, you've completely destroyed the alliance between the Yang Family and Qin Tian."

"Looking at the entire South Seven Provinces, Qin Tian can only turn to us for self-preservation!"

"Once we capture him, it's like capturing An Guo and Zhao Tianpeng's two votes. Now, our victory is assured!"

According to their previous calculations, combined with An Guo and Zhao Tianpeng's votes, Jiang Shao had enough votes to secure the position of the alliance leader.

In other words, his position as the alliance leader was only a matter of time.
