After much deliberation, Lin Fanpeng finally mustered the courage to visit.
He dared not digress nor deceive the Sect Leader.
He could lie to everyone in the world, but he dared not lie to Dongfang Yu at all.
So, Lin Fanpeng frankly told Dongfang Yu about the matter.
Dongfang Yu’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as he asked, "Are you asking me to save your granddaughter?"
Lin Fanpeng quickly nodded.
He knew that it was impossible to save his granddaughter through legitimate means at this moment.
Moreover, he knew that although Lin Qinghuan had undergone special training,
under certain circumstances, there were many things she might not be able to withstand.
If she were to disclose everything, although Lin Qinghuan did not know who the Chief was behind the scenes, it would still be a massive blow to their organization.
Lin Qinghuan was also a key member.
Furthermore, no matter what, she was his granddaughter.
He definitely had to save her if there was a way.
If she really could not be saved, he might even send someone to silence her.
But now, with the Sect Leader, he felt a glimmer of hope.
Given the Sect Leader’s capabilities, he could easily rescue Lin Qinghuan.
Thus, he continued to explain, "Sect Leader, I know that you look down on what I am doing at the moment, but if this gets done, I can help you obtain something you are interested in."
"Something I’m interested in?"
Dongfang Yu raised an eyebrow, leaning lazily on a white leather sofa.
Dressed in a black turtleneck sweater, his eyes slightly narrowed, he looked both noble and dangerous.
He indifferently asked, "What do you have that I might be interested in?"
"The Mysterious Dragon Box of the Gu Family."
"The Mysterious Dragon Box?"
He seemed to have heard of this Mysterious Dragon Box before, but it must have been a long time ago.
Was there a secret inside?
He did not recall hearing about it.
Dongfang Yu glanced at Lin Fanpeng and asked coolly, "What secret does it contain?"
"I heard from my ancestors that inside the Mysterious Dragon Box lies an earth-shattering secret, and it is said that the holder of the Mysterious Dragon Box will conquer the world," Lin Fanpeng’s eyes sparkled.
It’s not just this alone from the Gu Family.
Dongfang Yu coldly smiled, "Lin Fanpeng, you’re not getting senile as you age, are you? Already past seventy, yet you still harbor such grand ambitions. What era is it now that ’the holder of the Mysterious Dragon Box will conquer the world’? Even if you get it, how many years can you enjoy it?"
What significance is there in conquering the world?
He was not interested in it at all.
If he were interested, he would have acted many years ago.
And he would not have waited until now.
Moreover, the current system was different from the past.
Do not assume he understood nothing.
Dongfang Yu’s eyes carried a hint of disdain.
That was just his nature.
Having been alone for too long, he had become increasingly cold and indifferent.
Lin Fanpeng gritted his teeth, realizing that this grand matter of his might truly be insignificant in Dongfang Yu’s eyes.
After all, a reclusive master like Dongfang Yu was unique in this era, perhaps the only one.
Therefore, he scoffed at the thought of acquiring the world.
But Lin Fanpeng was different.
Although he no longer desired to conquer the world, he wanted to control all its wealth in his hands.
This was his lifelong dream.
And the Gu Family, being as rich as a nation, represented a tantalizing piece of fat that was hard to resist.
After planning for decades, his goal was now within reach, and he could not afford to fail at the last moment.
