Chapter 259 - Returning the Product

Secretary Cheng’s pupils abruptly contracted, her complexion changing wildly.

Zhou Yu could actually find the Gu worms inside his body, which was too unbelievable.

While Secretary Cheng was still in shock, Zhou Yu had already picked out the other Gu worms one by one.

At that moment, Zhou Yu said with a faint smile.

“Your plan was very comprehensive.”

“First you shield Divine Sense, then use mist to obscure the senses, and finally, ambush with Gu worms.”

“This whole setup almost had me fooled.”

“I suppose quite a few Innate experts must have died here.”

“However, walk the night road enough, and you’re bound to run into ghosts.

This time, you’re out of luck.”

Secretary Cheng snapped back to reality.

Without another word, she turned and ran, leaping towards the window, trying to escape through it.

Zhou Yu let out a cold laugh.

“Stay.”

He flicked his finger, and the silver needle in his hand shot out instantly.

It went straight into the back of Secretary Cheng’s head.

Secretary Cheng screamed, falling from the air, landing on the floor, her body arching like a shrimp, her eyes rolling back.

Although Secretary Cheng was adept at witchcraft and Gu techniques, in a face-to-face fight, she didn’t even have the level of a Peak Acquired expert.

In front of Zhou Yu, she wasn’t much stronger than an ant.

Now, she struggled violently, her screams pitiable, while giving Zhou Yu a pleading look.

Zhou Yu said indifferently, “I asked you just now, and you said there was no need for mercy.

So, this was your own choice.”

Secretary Cheng struggled for a while, then blood flowed from her seven orifices, and she gradually stopped breathing, dying a terrible death.

By this time, Lian Huasheng beside her was full of horror, scared out of his wits and sitting on the chair with a thud.

Zhou Yu walked over to the table, picked up the teapot, and calmly poured another cup of tea for Lian Huasheng.

“Continue drinking your tea.”

“Aren’t you quite the connoisseur?”

Lian Huasheng’s face was ashen.

He trembled as he said,

“Zhou Yu, what do you want?”

“Isn’t that the question I should be asking you?”

“Stopping the supply of sand to the Lin Family Corporation was your order, wasn’t it?”

Lian Huasheng’s complexion turned incredibly ugly.

“Zhou Yu, this matter is very complicated.

There are ‘big shots’ who want the Lin Family Corporation dead.

It’s better for you not to get involved.”

“Big shots?”

Zhou Yu’s eyebrows rose.

“Are you talking about Lu Gong from the provincial city?”

Lian Huasheng shook his head:

“I can’t say.”

“Zhou Yu, I advise you to take this as a warning and stop while you’re ahead.

I’ve taken a loss this time.

Whatever it is you want, just draw the line.”

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.

“It seems you still don’t understand your current situation.”

“Let me tell you, the only thing you can do now is answer my questions honestly.

Otherwise, that cup of tea you just drank will be the last cup of tea you drink in your life.”

Hearing this, Lian Huasheng’s face changed.

“You dare to kill me?

Let me tell you, once I’m dead, your troubles will become serious.

I guarantee, you and the Lin Family Corporation won’t last long.”

Zhou Yu scoffed.

“Such a load of nonsense.”

“It seems I’ve been too polite to you.”

Said that, Zhou Yu stretched out a finger, pinching a silver needle between his two fingers.

“What…

what are you going to do?”

Lian Huasheng had a bad premonition.

“Guess!”

Zhou Yu’s fingers moved like lightning as he stabbed towards Lian Huasheng.

Lian Huasheng had no chance to react; the silver needle instantly pierced his forehead.

The next moment, Lian Huasheng’s eyes rolled back, and he lost consciousness.

Zhou Yu started to question him.

After the inquiry, he found out.

The power behind Lian Huasheng was indeed complicated.

He had connections with nearly half of the seven major families of the provincial city, especially close ties with Lu Gong.

However, a few years ago, a ‘big shot’ got in touch with him, and Lian Huasheng gradually gravitated towards this ‘big shot’.

And it was this ‘big shot’ who had Lian Huasheng target the Lin Family, cutting off their sand supply.

As for this ‘big shot’, Lian Huasheng knew almost nothing, only that he was from Wu City and wielded immense power.

Immensely powerful?

It did sound impressive!

Originally, Zhou Yu thought Lian Huasheng was targeting him under Lu Gong’s orders, but now it seemed that his ultimate target was actually the Lin Family.

Why would such a person target the Lin Family, which was relatively small?

Zhou Yu’s eyes sparkled with a sharp light.

He was now more certain than ever that the old man’s reason for sending him to the Lin Family wasn’t as simple as seeking a wife.

To clarify all this, it seemed a trip to Wu City was in order.

With this in mind, Zhou Yu made up his mind.

He went over to Chu Dafu, took out a silver needle, and pricked him a few times.

The unconscious Chu Dafu groaned a few times and then slowly opened his eyes.

After a brief moment of confusion, he suddenly remembered what had just happened, hastily got up to check, and then his jaw dropped in disbelief.

He saw Secretary Cheng bleeding from every orifice, lying by the window.

Lian Huasheng sat on the chair with a vacant look in his eyes, like an idiot at the village entrance.

And Zhou Yu was sitting on Lian Huasheng’s desk, watching him.

“Zhou…

Mr.

Zhou, what happened?”
