Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 584: Young Master Wang Panics... (Sixth Update)

"Call your grandfather and family, you have about five minutes left," Lin Feng shook his head again and turned to leave the room. He felt a twinge of regret in his heart. He shouldn’t have come so abruptly and presumptuously, leading Meng Tian, a very upright and loyal person, to lose his life pointlessly for that mysterious person. But what’s done is done, and all that was left to do was to let Meng Tian handle the rest of the time on his own.

Lin Feng had never considered that Meng Tian would call the mysterious person. All precautions had been taken against it; surely, Meng Tian would have destroyed everything related to that person, especially leaving no call records. Even after he had gone, Meng Tian was smart enough not to call the mysterious person in his final moments. So, it was better to return directly to the Leng Residence. There was no more hope to be found here at Meng Tian’s.

Watching Lin Feng disappear from the room, Meng Tian picked up the cordless phone from his desk and walked to the window. From the 33rd floor, he gazed at the Capital City’s night view and dialed his father’s number.

"Dad, it’s time for me to go. You and Mom don’t have to be too sad. I should have died a long time ago. I have been unfilial, unable to show you proper respect. Please forgive me. Also, I have one last request—I hope to be buried next to Grandpa. I wish to keep him company."

After finishing, Meng Tian hung up the phone. He didn’t dare to continue. His tears were rolling down, making his face look suddenly much older. He hadn’t said a word to Lin Feng, but there was something he couldn’t let go of—his parents...

.....

Meng Tian passed away peacefully, sitting in his office chair, looking as if he were just resting. On the desk in front of him lay a suicide note detailing his final affairs.

At midnight, the security guard noticed that the CEO hadn’t left the building before twelve o’clock as usual, so he came over to check if anything was wrong. However, when he opened the door and saw the CEO’s pale face, he knew trouble had occurred and shivered as he shouted into the intercom.

"Something’s happened to the CEO! Call the police! Call 120!"

The duty security captain was stunned upon hearing this and immediately began to notify the police and call for emergency medical services, at a loss to understand how the CEO could have had an accident in his own office... What on earth had happened...

When the police station heard that the CEO of Jingwei International Trade Company had had an accident, they were shocked. Everyone in Capital City was familiar with the scale of this company. They immediately dispatched their most capable officers to the scene.

...

An hour later, after a site inspection and confirmation from the emergency medical services, it was determined that Meng Tian, the CEO of Jingwei International Trade Company, had died of poison in a suicide. There were no signs of murder at the scene, and security footage didn’t reveal anyone entering Meng Tian’s room. Those present simply couldn’t understand. Meng Tian was a well-known entrepreneur and lived an incredibly simple life. Why would he choose to commit suicide by poison... What on earth had occurred?

The reporters from various media outlets who heard the news surrounded the building of Jingwei International Trade, tightly crowding it and reporting live on the scene.

"Meng Tian, CEO of Jingwei International Trade Company, committed suicide by poison around midnight. We are currently bringing you live coverage from the scene..."

"Tonight, Meng Tian, the famous CEO of Jingwei International Trade Company, died of poison in a suicide. The specific reasons for his death..."

"According to police reports, the CEO of Jingwei International Trade Company committed suicide by poison this morning, effectively ruling out the possibility of homicide..."

...

Meng Tian was a well-known person in the Capital City, and his death immediately attracted the attention of multiple media outlets. His death was even featured in the midnight news reports...

.....

Young Master Wang was sleeping soundly, wrapped between two beautiful women he had just acquired—a pair of twins—which was rather exhilarating. Although he generally didn’t indulge in women, when faced with such exceptional "goods," his heart couldn’t help but flutter. After all, he was a normal man and there was no way he could refuse such a thing.

In the dead of sleep, Young Master Wang’s phone suddenly started ringing, sounding particularly jarring in the eerily quiet bedroom.

"Ding Dong, Ding Dong..."

The ringing woke Young Master Wang, leaving him in a sour mood. However, only a few important people knew his phone number, and even fewer would dare to call him at such an ungodly hour. Aside from a handful of trusted followers who had been with him for years, nobody had the guts to do so. Young Master Wang was puzzled. What on earth could have happened that warranted a call in the middle of the night?

He looked at the caller ID, seeing that it was a call from his top strategist, Xiang Tian. This made him take the situation even more seriously. Xiang Tian was an extremely composed individual and would never call at such an hour unless it was something significant. With that in mind, Young Master Wang answered the call.

"Xiang Tian, what happened? Why call me in the middle of the night?" Young Master Wang asked with a hint of annoyance. Anyone roused from sleep so abruptly would be in a bad mood. He was full of questions and went straight to the point.

"Young Master Wang, I’m just outside the villa. Let’s talk in person." Dressed in white casual clothes and exuding a scholarly aura, with a handsome and fair-complexioned face that revealed a shrewdness akin to that of Cao Cao, Xiang Tian heard the irritation in Young Master Wang’s voice but really couldn’t afford to cater to that right now. The situation couldn’t be delayed any longer. Being the top strategist, he was very well-versed in Young Master Wang’s affairs. Tonight’s development was too critical to ignore. Hence, upon seeing the news of Meng Tian’s death that night, he had driven straight to Young Master Wang’s villa to discuss the matter...

"Alright, come in and wait for me in the study," said Young Master Wang before hanging up, sensing the urgency in Xiang Tian’s tone. Something that could make Xiang Tian so anxious would be no trivial matter. It was best to discuss it privately in the study.

With that thought, Young Master Wang got up. Amid the drowsy gazes of the twin beauties, he slipped on a robe and left the bedroom, heading straight for the study downstairs.

"Xiang Tian, what exactly happened?" The moment Young Master Wang entered, he saw Xiang Tian pacing back and forth in the study. He had never seen the always serene Xiang Tian this agitated. He quickly asked, curious to know what had happened that could make Xiang Tian so desperate. It must be a grave matter; otherwise, he wouldn’t be acting this way.

"Young Master Wang, did you know? Just a little over an hour ago, Meng Tian died..." Xiang Tian blurted out the shocking news of Meng Tian’s death. Xiang Tian was accustomed to sleeping late in the night, occasionally watching midnight news out of boredom, but he had never expected to see news of Meng Tian committing suicide by poisoning. It was a massive event. Meng Tian was a workaholic, and suicide by poisoning was nearly impossible for him—the only plausible cause must be Lin Feng’s involvement, or else he would never take his own life.

"What? Meng Tian is dead? How did he die?" Upon hearing Xiang Tian’s words, Young Master Wang was utterly shocked. It was inconceivable that Meng Tian was no longer alive. How could this be? He knew Meng Tian all too well; he had saved his life and granted him everything he had. Meng Tian, grateful and devoted, had immersed himself in work. How could he possibly be dead? Was it an accident?

"Meng Tian committed suicide by poisoning, and the police have confirmed that death. They have also ruled out the possibility of murder," Xiang Tian urgently conveyed Meng Tian’s cause of death. They could not take this casually. If it was Lin Feng’s doing, then it meant Young Master Wang was now in real danger! Xiang Tian knew of Lin Feng’s prowess as described by Young Master Wang. The situation was dire!

"What! Meng Tian killed himself by poisoning!" Young Master Wang was utterly stunned upon hearing this. He had warned Meng Tian some time ago to be cautious of Lin Feng seeking him out, but he never imagined that Meng Tian would choose to commit suicide...

If Meng Tian had taken his own life, then there was only one possibility—it meant Lin Feng found him that night, wanting to extract information about Young Master Wang. To keep his secrets, Meng Tian chose suicide, ensuring Lin Feng couldn’t learn anything from him. Meng Tian was buying him time with his life!

It genuinely pained Young Master Wang that Meng Tian had died this way. Meng Tian was a business prodigy; in four years, he had earned Young Master Wang a fortune and had grown Jingwei International Trade Company into what it was today. Young Master Wang had come to regard Meng Tian as a close confidant, not merely a money-making tool. Now, knowing that Meng Tian had died for him, he was deeply distressed, but there was no way to bring back the dead. The deed was done, and it was irrevocable.

Lin Feng, it must have been Lin Feng who found a clue!

Young Master Wang couldn’t understand how Lin Feng had found Meng Tian. After all, the case with Bi Huihuang was closed without a trace left behind, and all the parties involved were dead. How did Lin Feng track down Meng Tian?

One thing Young Master Wang was certain of, though—if Lin Feng managed to locate Meng Tian, he could easily trace the connection to him through Jingwei International Trade Company. That was a certainty; regardless of how Lin Feng would investigate, his abilities would certainly allow him to do so!

And if Lin Feng really did find him, there was no need to think about the outcome...
