Chapter 125 - Received the News!

Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.

They act pretty quickly.

It seems that this time, the Lin Family from the provincial city has indeed been provoked.

“What’s the specific situation?”

“The specifics are still unclear, but given that the Lin Family from the provincial city is such a powerful force, they tend to be extremely impactful once they make a move.

They will surely send top masters to Yancheng.”

“Why don’t you take the Lin Family out of town to hide for a while?

I can take care of the Lin Corporation; there won’t be any problems.”

Zhou Yu smiled faintly at these words.

If the Lin Family from the provincial city was just sending top masters, then he truly wasn’t afraid.

What he feared was them using some methods he couldn’t understand, like the previous incident when Huang Zongsheng attempted to buy the shares of the Lin Family.

If Guanghai Investment hadn’t appeared, he would have had a tough time dealing with it.

“Old Zhao, thank you for your kind intentions, but when the soldiers come, the generals will resist, and when the water comes, the soil will cover.

If they wish to seek death, let them come.”

Zhao Jianfeng, well aware of Zhou Yu’s character, had guessed Zhou Yu would respond like this even before making the call.

Indeed, Zhou Yu’s answer did not surprise him.

He sighed.

“Alright then.”

“In the next few days, I will keep a close eye on the Lin Family’s movements and inform you if there are any updates.

Take care of yourself.”

“Thank you, Old Zhao.”

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Heng and Zhao Fei’er, who were beside Zhao Jianfeng, looked at him anxiously.

“Grandpa, what did he say?”

“Zhou Yu, that boy, is too confident.

Ordinary forces, he indeed can afford to ignore.

But this time it’s the Lin Family from the provincial city; they’re not to be taken lightly.

If things go poorly, there could be serious consequences.”

Zhao Fei’er immediately said nervously,

“Grandpa, then we must find a way to help him.”

Zhao Heng chimed in as well,

“Yes, father, Zhou Yu has done a great favor for our family.”

Zhao Jianfeng replied with a wry smile,

“Why are you two so anxious?

Did I say I wouldn’t help?

This matter, even if it means offending the Lin Family from the provincial city, we must help.

However, the urgent task at hand is to figure out their next move.”

“Heng’er, I’ll leave this matter to you.”

“Alright, father, I will immediately have people look into the Lin Family’s actions.”

Bencao Tang.

After Zhou Yu hung up the phone,

Li De’an immediately asked,

“Zhou Yu, what’s the matter?

Has something happened?”

Zhou Yu replied with a smile,

“Nothing much, just that the Lin Family from the provincial city might be seeking revenge.”

“I won’t be having dinner, perhaps some other time.”

Upon hearing this, Li De’an’s expression changed.

“Zhou Yu, why not leave town for a while?

The Lin Family from the provincial city is no joke.”

Zhou Yu, however, shook his head and said,

“If they want to come, let them come.

I don’t care.”

At that moment, Hou Baoguo hurriedly said,

“How about this, Young Friend Zhou, if you don’t mind, I’ll go back with you.

If the Lin Family from the provincial city gets tough, I can still fend them off.”

Zhou Yu had already gotten a rough idea of Hou Baoguo’s strength.

With the retaliation from the Lin Family being uncertain, if they happen to come when he’s not at home, that would be troublesome.

With Hou Baoguo being in the Innate Realm, having his protection would indeed put Zhou Yu’s mind at ease.

Thinking of this, Zhou Yu nodded,

“That would be nice, I’ll trouble you then, Old Hou.”

Hou Baoguo hurriedly waved his hand.

“Young Friend Zhou, please don’t be so formal; I should be the one thanking you.”

Zhou Yu said with a smile,

“Then let’s not thank each other.

Old Hou, just call me Zhou Yu from now on.”

“Besides, there’s no rush with this matter.

Old Hou and Old Li, you haven’t seen each other in a long time.

Have a good catch-up tonight, and I will head back first.

Tomorrow, I’ll invite Old Hou to the Lin Family.”

“That works.”

After leaving Bencao Tang, Zhou Yu immediately took a taxi back to the Lin Family villa.

By then, it was already late at night, and Lin Luoluo’s bedroom was completely dark.

Zhou Yu didn’t want to disturb Lin Luoluo, so he didn’t go home but instead headed to the bamboo forest next to the villa.

He sat down cross-legged and began to cultivate.

However, unknown to Zhou Yu, although the lights were off in Lin Luoluo’s bedroom, she had not fallen asleep.

She knew Zhou Yu had gone to Bencao Tang, and she was waiting for him to return.

Even she hadn’t noticed that, somehow, when Zhou Yu wasn’t around, she couldn’t sleep well.

Yet, she waited until dawn and still, Zhou Yu did not return.

Lin Luoluo, annoyed, got up from bed and went to the balcony to look around.

“This guy!

He’s getting more and more presumptuous, not coming home at night.”

Lin Luoluo turned her head and saw the cushion Zhou Yu used for meditation at night.

She kicked it away angrily, then gave it a couple more kicks.

After doing all this and still feeling unsatisfied, Lin Luoluo picked up the cushion and threw it out.

Afterwards, she felt somewhat better.

Lin Luoluo went back to bed, took out her phone, and sent a message to her best friend Ye Ling.

“Ling’er, are you asleep?”

Unexpectedly, Ye Ling replied quickly.

“Just about to sleep, what’s up?

My lady, why aren’t you sleeping at this hour?”

“Can’t sleep.

That guy ran out again and hasn’t come back yet—it’s so infuriating.”

“Wow, wow, Luoluo, there’s something off about your tone.

You couldn’t possibly have really fallen for him, could you?”

Seeing this message, a ripple passed through Lin Luoluo’s eyes.

Normally, she would have denied it immediately, but this time, she hesitated.

Lin Luoluo did not respond but shifted the conversation.

“Ling’er, how have you been lately?

Have you started dating anyone?”

“Haha, don’t mention it, lately a rich young man has been chasing me, but I haven’t agreed yet.

I plan to observe him a bit longer!”

“Ling’er, make sure you keep your eyes peeled and don’t get fooled, okay?”

“Rest assured, I’m way shrewder than you.”

“Alright then, get some sleep.

We’ll talk another time, good night!”

“Good night!”

Lin Luoluo glanced out the window, turned off her phone in a huff, and closed her eyes to sleep.

The next morning, after finishing his cultivation, Zhou Yu felt refreshed and stepped out of the bamboo forest.

Suddenly, he paused.

Zhou Yu spotted something hanging on a tree branch not far away.

“Huh!”

“This thing looks very familiar.”
