In a dimly lit room, an emaciated old man sat cross-legged, exuding a gray and lifeless aura.

"Has Li Yifei already begun to take control of the company, regaining the support of those shareholders? This guy is decisive, to have discarded years of cultivation just like that..."

The old man muttered to himself, his tone filled with reluctance.

He had meticulously planned for several years to lure the super-rich Li Yifei into a trap, causing him to lose his mental clarity through qigong cultivation.

Logically, a mentally unstable leader would not be supported by the shareholders.

At that time, he could find a way to seize Li Yifei's assets.

However, since Li Yifei returned a month ago, he has regained his mental clarity and made decisive decisions, restoring the shareholders' confidence in him.

The company's power has gradually been reclaimed by him.

The old man secretly investigated and discovered that Li Yifei's years of qigong cultivation had dissipated on its own.

This resolute mindset left him in awe.

In three days, the new CEO election would take place. Originally, he was confident, having planned for so long, taking advantage of the shareholders' disappointment with Li Yifei.

But now, given the current situation, he had almost no chance of winning.

"Have I failed after all this planning?" The old man thought for a long time but could not come up with a way to turn the tide, and finally sighed inwardly.

Knock, knock, knock!

At that moment, the old man suddenly heard a knock on the door, and his disciple's voice rang out: "Master, there's a young man outside who says he's here to see you and has something you need!"

"A young man? Something I need?" The old man was slightly taken aback.

After a moment's thought, if he could find his way here, he must have some ability.

"Please bring him in!" the old man said.

In a short while, a young man walked in, bowed to the old man, and said, "Yan Xiaoyu, greeting you, Senior!"

"What brings you to see me?" The old man asked directly, without any small talk.

"I admire your qigong and have come to seek your guidance. I have brought a gift, something you need right now, which can help you gain a lot of support in the CEO election!" The young man took off his backpack from behind.

...

Holding two knives, he moved swiftly, like a hurricane, with sharp and relentless blade movements, making it impossible for water to penetrate.

Then, the long knives in his hands turned into pistols, and with cool and stylish movements, he fired shots in rapid succession, seemingly without needing to aim.

His weapons kept changing.

Knives, spears, swords, sticks, pistols, rifles, sniper rifles, and even rocket launchers.

After a series of cool and dynamic moves, Qin Moyu stopped.

It had been over a month since his transformation, and he was already very familiar with his abilities.

Qin Moyu could feel that his combat skills had reached a good level.

"Only after experiencing a cycle world can one truly be considered a cycle traveler. The corresponding combat strength improvement in the cycle world will be ranked. With the improvement I achieved in the Hundred Transformations Star Lord, it should be enough to shock the entire Cycle Hall..." After completing his routine training, Qin Moyu muttered to himself.

Qin Moyu could already foresee the commotion that would ensue when he returned to the Cycle Hall.

At that time, he would need to hide his identity well.

"Mr. Qin, the phone!" At that moment, the Filipino maid from the estate came over and called out to Qin Moyu.

Hearing this, Qin Moyu walked back to the estate and picked up the phone.

"Brother Qin, hurry, take Ah Xing and leave quickly..." As soon as he picked up the phone, Li Yifei's voice came through.

"Brother Li, what's wrong?" Qin Moyu's face changed when he heard the voice on the other end, which was completely off.

"Something's wrong. I've lost my company and my life is in danger. Your divination was right; this time, I'm in deep trouble. Don't say more, take Ah Xing and leave Hawaii, go back to the country!"

Beep, beep, beep...

Before Qin Moyu could ask what had happened, the call suddenly disconnected, leaving only a busy signal.

Furrowing his brows, Qin Moyu put down the phone, feeling puzzled.

At first, he thought that Li Yifei, who had not appeared in the original story after severing ties with his son, was likely in grave danger.

So, when Li Yifei asked about the divination, he told him the truth.

Later, combining the clues from the original story, such as Ah Xing's transformation and the implantation of a computer chip, Qin Moyu thought Li Yifei should be fine, and he had been wrong.

But unexpectedly, he received such a call today?

After a moment's thought, Qin Moyu arranged for a helicopter to take him directly to Li Zexing's school.

At that time, Li Zexing was in class.

"Brother Li, why are you here?" Li Zexing asked, looking curiously at Qin Moyu, who had pulled him out of class.

"Ah Xing, what business does your father do, and where is he now? Do you know?" Qin Moyu asked seriously.

"I don't know. I only know that I don't see him for a year or two at a time, and he travels all over the world..." Li Zexing shook his head.

Qin Moyu: "..."

Not knowing what business his father does or where he is?

No wonder Ah Xing in the original story had almost no father-son relationship with Li Yifei.

This was not the time to nitpick. Since Ah Xing didn't know, Qin Moyu found Ah Da and had him take Li Zexing back to the country.

After arranging for Li Zexing to leave Hawaii, Qin Moyu then went to find Professor Jiang Si.

Regardless, he owed Li Yifei a favor for the transformation.

If possible, Qin Moyu would do his best to save him.

Otherwise, knowing that he was in danger and doing nothing would not sit well with him.

Of course, he would try his best. If he could save him, that would be best; if not, it would at least give him some closure.

He just wanted to be able to look at himself in the mirror.

Moreover, this might be a significant hidden quest.

He should try his best to seize the opportunity!

"Do you want to save Mr. Li? His situation is very dire! I advise you not to go..." Professor Jiang Si said after understanding Qin Moyu's intentions.

"Whether to save him or not, we'll see later. First, I need to understand the situation. What exactly happened?" Qin Moyu asked Professor Jiang Si.

Sure enough, Professor Jiang Si knew something.

"Alright, since you want to know, I'll tell you what I know..." After a moment's hesitation, Professor Jiang Si nodded.
