C398 Ten Years ago
Xuan Wuqi smiled, and then sighed: "Indeed! "Now that the power in Mr. Qin's hands is in such a huge river, other than someone like Elder Jin, who else would be able to do it?"
"Humph!"
Qin Tian snorted and looked at him coldly. "How do you know who I guessed?"
"Is there anyone else other than Elder Jin that can make Mr. Qin stop talking?" Xuan Wuqi asked.
Qin Tian stared at him indifferently and did not reply.
"I know. Even though Mr. Qin has already guessed it, it's not that easy for him to completely suspect Elder Jin." Xuan Wuqi smiled and said, "That's why I invited Mr. Qin to come here today. I'm going to tell him a story."
"A story that goes back ten years."
Hearing that, Qin Tian had a thought.
Ten years ago?
Qin Tian was very clear that when Elder Jin was exiled, it was ten years ago. At that time, Elder Jin should have just arrived at Songjiang River.
"Ten years ago, I had just become the Patriarch of the Xuan Family not long ago, and then I received news that an important character from Yanjing had arrived at Songjiang, and not long after, that important character had organized a banquet, inviting important members of the various forces of Songjiang to participate. I was also one of those people."
"Mr. Qin, do you know who that big shot is?"
Xuan Wuqi smiled. Without waiting for Qin Tian's reply, he continued, "He is Elder Jin from ten years ago."
Qin Tian's eyes flashed. He keenly noticed that Xuan Wuqi called Elder Jin, who was a big shot ten years ago, by his title.
However, what Qin Tian knew was that ten years ago, Elder Jin came to Songjiang City as an exile. Even though the other party was originally the Patriarch of Jin Family, was it worth for the exiled Patriarch of Jin Family to be called a great character by the forces in Songjiang back then?
In the past, Elder Jin was exiled to Songjiang, but in a short span of half a year, he unified the Eastern City, and in addition, created a Hanghai Group. With a change of circumstances, he quickly established a foothold in Songjiang, and even stepped on the heads of many people.
Xuan Wuqi added with a sigh as if he saw through Qin Tian's doubt.
"Isn't Mr. Qin curious about what happened at that banquet ten years ago?"
Xuan Wuqi asked.
"Qin Tian didn't comment, he kept his gaze on Ye Zichen."
Xuan Wuqi smiled and said, "On the night of the banquet, Elder Jin told a group of people at the top-level of the Songjiang River to stay behind. The family elders, myself, and the tyrants of the North, West, and North, South, and West had a secret discussion."
Ten years ago in Songjiang, Jiang Huatian, Murong Wuji, and Xiong Bing still hadn't been established. At that time, the older brothers of the Northern and Western Tripartite Society were all from the older generation, and only after these people had all retired did Jiang Huatian and the others have the chance to obtain the opportunity to challenge them. However, the three tyrants mentioned by Xuan Wuqi were obviously not talking about Jiang Huatian and the others.
"What is it?" Qin Tian's eyes lit up and he asked subconsciously.
"As I expected, Mr. Qin is interested in this matter." Xuan Wuqi smiled, but still shook his head lightly: "Unfortunately, at that time, even though I was the Patriarch of Xuan Family, I still didn't have the authority to stay behind to participate in the secret meeting. After the secret meeting is over and we return to Xuan Family, the Great Elder of our Xuan Family, which is my father, did not mention too much about this matter.
Hearing this, Qin Tian frowned and a trace of dissatisfaction appeared in his eyes.
Ye Zichen didn't say anything in the middle of his sentence, so why did Xuan Wuqi come to find him?
"Don't be impatient, Mr. Qin. Just wait for me to finish." Xuan Wuqi smiled bitterly and signaled Qin Tian not to be angry. "I know. Maybe Mr. Qin thinks that I'm playing with you, but I don't mean it."
Hearing this, Qin Tian's face turned slightly better and slightly calmed down.
Xuan Wuqi continued, "Although I don't remember all of my father's words, I did not forget the crucial point. According to my father, if the secret that Elder Jin invited them to discuss with each other was successful, then it might be a tremendous change for the Xuan Family and the large power structure of Songjiang."
"If you want to complete that plan, Hanghai Group is one of the key steps."
With that, Qin Tian raised his eyebrows.
Faintly, Qin Tian felt a conspiracy.
If it was as Xuan Wuqi had said, Hanghai Group was an important part of Elder Jin's secret plan. Why did Elder Jin give him the Hanghai Group back then at Songjiang?
However, due to the relationship between him and Elder Jin being a teacher and a friend, as well as the fact that Elder Jin wanted his Yanjing back, Qin Tian didn't think too much about it and thought that Elder Jin probably just wanted to find a reliable person to entrust his Hanghai Group to.
But now it would seem that the matter was not that simple.
According to Xuan Wuqi, Elder Jin was plotting ten years ago, but there was still no progress after ten years. Not even a trace of news was spread out. It was not because of Elder Jin's excellent method of keeping secrets, perhaps something had happened and was temporarily placed on hold.
As for the possibility that Qin Tian could think of, it was that there was power that was obstructing him, and among the power that was obstructing him, one was the various shareholders in Hanghai Group, and the other should be Yanjing.
When Elder Jin was on the throne, perhaps they had their own thoughts, but due to Elder Jin's prestige, even if they wanted to, they could only suppress their thoughts and not show it. This way, even if Elder Jin had the heart to kick out the people on the board of directors, it would be impossible for him to remain unknown.
If Elder Jin were to directly start a plan, it would be discovered by the Jin Family, which would cause a certain amount of trouble. In addition, in order to keep it confidential, Elder Jin would not personally make a move against the Yanjing, and reveal anything to the outside world.
This way, his appearance would seem logical.
First, after he controlled the Hanghai Group, the shareholders who originally had evil intentions and had no courage lost the suppression of Elder Jin, and would no longer be able to endure the loneliness and started to push down Qin Tian. And in Elder Jin's opinion, just based on the fact that the group of shareholders in the company wanted to compete with Qin Tian, it was equivalent to seeking death. In fact, Qin Tian did not disappoint Elder Jin, and after a series of provocations from the shareholders, he finally chased all of them out of the Hanghai Group.
On the other hand, Elder Jin secretly controlled the conflict between him and Jin Family, so that he could gradually form enmity with Jin Family and ultimately eliminate them.
Thus, Elder Jin was able to resolve two of the obstacles that affected his plan the most without risking his life.
And Qin Tian, from beginning to end, had only been used as a tool to control Hanghai Group!
