Chapter 4103: Chapter 4122: We Don’t Owe Them Anything
Bai Chenbing squinted his eyes slightly, a sharp radiance flashing through them.
Was that guy really hypnotized?
Just exposed himself directly?
But Bai Chenbing didn’t mind. After all, he sent someone over just to probe, without truly intending to hide himself. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have let that guy know who he was.
"Mr. Lin, such good tactics, revealing me in just a blink of an eye."
Lin Chen calmly said: "If you truly wanted to hide yourself, you wouldn’t have come out personally. There are countless ways to hide oneself."
"Hehe, Mr. Lin is indeed straightforward."
Bai Chenbing laughed heartily: "Mr. Lin called directly, what do you want to tell me?"
Lin Chen’s tone was calm: "I don’t like dealing with people who hide, so I directly ask you, what do you want to do, no need for beating around the bush."
Bai Chenbing spoke steadily: "As my lawyer said, I just want to ask you all for help, set any conditions you like."
"Anything I like?"
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "You say it nicely, but if I truly set conditions, you might complain about me asking for too much."
Bai Chenbing replied: "You won’t know if I’m bluffing unless you try. Maybe I’ll actually follow through?"
Lin Chen asked directly: "Let’s be frank, you and Luo Chenglin are on the same side, right? He’s quiet now, and it’s your turn to step forward?"
Bai Chenbing answered: "That’s right, but also not right."
Lin Chen didn’t speak, waiting for Bai Chenbing’s explanation.
Bai Chenbing began to explain: "The Bai family indeed belongs to the Defensive Faction, this time targeting you is to attack the Tianheng Group. This matter involves the Bai family, I won’t deny it."
"Originally, Luo Chenglin stepping out was just superficial; subduing you or establishing a new cooperation was the real goal. However, you overturned the table directly."
"Luo Chenglin got scared, and dares not confront you anymore. Now, others dare not be the leader, considering that Luo Chenglin’s son returned alive, but what will happen to the next leader is unpredictable."
"I am not the second leader. I was waiting before. If they succeeded, I’d reach out to you logically. But they failed, so I had to come to you personally."
"Although Bai family is a Defensive Faction, my seeking you out isn’t related to dealings with Tianheng Group, it’s personal, even unrelated to Bai family."
Lin Chen nodded: "So, you’re not here to deal with me?"
Bai Chenbing promptly responded: "Certainly not, I said it’s seeking cooperation or help from you, name your price, if I can afford it, everything’s possible."
Lin Chen calmly inquired: "Tell me."
Bai Chenbing was silent for two seconds, then sighed lightly: "I am very old, about to die."
Lin Chen realized: "Cultivators have long lifespans, you want me to extend your life?"
Bai Chenbing replied: "Yes, that’s why you should believe in my sincerity. After all, everything I possess only holds meaning if I’m alive. If I die, what does having more matter?"
Lin Chen asked: "Federation technology is so advanced, with your wealth and power, there isn’t a way?"
Bai Chenbing replied frankly: "I’ve tried all possible methods, reaching the limit; medicine now can’t help me."
Science failed, so seek metaphysics!
Lin Chen said with a laugh: "If I refuse, will the next step be action against me? I heard many seeking immortality are plotting against us."
Bai Chenbing sighed: "Honestly, I did think and plan this way, but eventually, I gave up."
Lin Chen asked: "Why?"
Bai Chenbing’s tone revealed honesty: "I cannot provoke you all, even if I attacked, even figuring out the secret of longevity, if I don’t die of aging, I might die by your hands."
"You all are peak cultivators, surely possessing methods to extend lifespan, thus I ask for help, and name your reward freely."
Lin Chen stayed silent for a few seconds: "Is Bai family powerful?"
Bai Chenbing answered: "Not top-tier powerful, but one of the old forces on Planet 11. If there’s anything you want done, leave it to me, it’s basically no problem."
"Tianheng Group indeed has substantial energy, but it’s ultimately too young, plus it infringed too many local interests, thus faces targeting in various areas, independent of right or wrong but concerning each one’s position."
"I know you’re close with Xu Qingchuan, but in life, making more friends is always beneficial."
"I don’t intend for you to oppose Tianheng Group; it’s just personal help. If you agree, I owe you a life, a favor enough for various aids from me."
Lin Chen thought for a moment: "Come in person, I’ll assess your situation, then decide if I can aid you."
Bai Chenbing’s eyes lit up, immediately asking: "What time is convenient for Mr. Lin?"
"This afternoon."
Bai Chenbing promptly agreed: "Good, I’ll visit at 3 PM."
"Alright!"
Bai Chenbing hung up the phone, revealing uncontrollable excitement in his eyes.
The other party agreed!
This indicates the party isn’t single-mindedly aligning with Tianheng Group, as long as it benefits him without harming Tianheng Group interests, he’ll agree.
This is good.
If not wanting to be enemies, secretly being transaction partners works.
The relationship doesn’t matter, as long as I can live.
...
White Cloud Manor.
Lin Chen closed the pop-up window, turning to look at Chu Jiaxue beside him: "What do you think of this matter?"
Chu Jiaxue said with a laugh: "A person nearing death, to avoid dying, will do anything and pay any cost."
"If he can truly be helped, this matter isn’t impossible, as long as the rhythm is controlled without being bitten back later."
Lin Chen’s lips slightly curled: "Keep a hand, huh? Let’s assess his situation first. I estimate it’s very severe, otherwise, he wouldn’t be rushing to find us. Indeed, many are going to Planet 49 presently, if only seeking ordinary lifespan-extension natural treasures, he wouldn’t miss it."
Chu Jiaxue asked: "Should we mention this to Xu Qingchuan?"
Lin Chen laughed: "I invite the other party over, not avoiding them, they will certainly know."
"They knowing doesn’t matter; after all, I’m just friends with Xu Qingchuan. We owe them nothing, let alone being sold to Tianheng Group..."
