Chapter 297 - Hell!

Bao Guoqiang had been shocked when he received Zhou Yu’s call.

However, being a prominent figure, he quickly regained his composure.

“Zhou Yu, I can have the special squad from Wu City Police deal with this matter,” he said.

“However, before we proceed, I must remind you of something,” he added.

“Oh?

What is it?”

“Behind Yongle Palace is Xie Lao.”

“I didn’t tell you before because I was worried that you weren’t a match for Xie Lao, but now it seems that your strength is sufficient to wrestle with him, or at least to protect yourself.”

Hearing this, Zhou Yu nodded.

This Bao Guoqiang was a good man.

Zhou Yu smiled and said,

“Mayor Bao, I am already aware of this situation.”

Bao Guoqiang wasn’t too surprised and continued.

“Furthermore, once I deploy the police, whether you like it or not, Xie Lao will consider that both of us are now tied together.”

“Previously, he might not have been concerned about you, but from today onward, he will definitely go all out to target you.”

“He might even transfer all his hatred for me onto you.”

A spark flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

“That’s great news,” he said.

“I was just worrying about finding him.

As long as he targets me, he will inevitably show his flaws.

Once I catch him, he will no longer be able to hide in the shadows.”

A resolute spark flashed through Bao Guoqiang’s eyes as well.

“Good, Zhou Yu, starting today, I will support you with all my strength to completely eliminate the scourge of Wu City.”

“Whenever you need my help, feel free to call me.”

“Okay,” Zhou Yu responded with a smile.

“Also, there’s another matter I should tell you about now,” Bao Guoqiang continued.

“The strongest commercial force in Wu City currently is a company called Dongsheng Group.”

“Based on my understanding, Dongsheng Group is also under Xie Lao’s control, so be careful when dealing with them.”

“Okay, got it,” Zhou Yu nodded.

Not long after hanging up the phone,

outside Yongle Palace, sirens blared loudly as hundreds of special police vehicles swiftly arrived, quickly sealing off the area.

Simultaneously, a large number of media reporters also arrived.

At that moment, standing before Zhou Yu was a middle-aged man in a police uniform.

“Mr.

Zhou, hello, I am the Chief of Wu City Police, Zhang Chao.

Now, we have fully deployed our forces.

The area outside is also filled with reporters.

We need to secure direct evidence of Yongle Palace’s wrongdoing.”

“Are you aware of any specifics regarding this?” he asked.

Zhou Yu nodded and said,

“Yes, follow me.”

Zhou Yu had previously learned from Chang Yuan about the place where they were concealing their detestable activities and directly went with Zhang Chao to a basement behind the halls of Yongle Palace.

Upon arriving, Zhou Yu was also astonished.

This wasn’t just a basement—it was practically a palace!

The basement was luxuriously decorated, glittering and bright everywhere, and all around were valuable furnishings.

In the basement, Zhang Chao and his team quickly found hundreds of women imprisoned by Yongle Palace.

These women ranged from students to housewives, all in terrible mental state, obviously having suffered unimaginable torment over countless days and nights.

Besides, within a hidden room in the basement, a morgue was discovered.

Inside were over a thousand corpses.

Even Zhang Chao, upon seeing this scene, was furiously enraged.

“With this evidence, Yongle Palace will be completely destroyed.

We will not let anyone involved go unpunished,” he declared.

Zhou Yu remained silent.

It was hard to imagine that this millennium-old temple, revered and adored by generations, appeared so transcendent and serene on the surface, yet below lay a scene from hell.

After a long while, Zhou Yu suddenly remembered something and went to another secret room.

Upon opening it, he found a girl inside.

The girl, upon seeing someone enter, paled with fear, huddled her head, and shrank into the corner, trembling.

“Don’t be afraid, I am here to rescue you!” he said.

“Are you Qin Dingbang’s daughter?”

Upon hearing Zhou Yu’s words, she slowly lifted her head.

Zhou Yu paused slightly.

She was a very pretty girl!

Her beauty and demeanor were on par with Lin Luoluo.

At that moment, her disheveled hair, combined with her pale face, added an element of fragile and delicate beauty.

“Save…

save me…”

The girl, feeling that Zhou Yu was not a bad person, immediately tried to stand up and plead for help.

However, as soon as she stood up, she became dizzy and fainted.

With quick reflexes, Zhou Yu caught her by the waist.

After catching the girl, Zhou Yu was shaken.

She was incredibly light.

It was as if she had no weight at all.

Zhou Yu checked her and found she had fainted from hunger after not eating for two days.

Other than that, she didn’t seem to have any other issues.

“Thank goodness, she hasn’t been violated.”

If such a beautiful girl had also been desecrated by those beasts at Yongle Palace, it would have been outrageously abominable.

Zhou Yu carried the girl out.

He just happened to meet Zhang Chao, who was looking for him.

“Mr.

Zhou, I was urgently looking for you, I didn’t expect you to be here…

eh?

Who is she?”

Zhou Yu explained the girl’s identity, and upon hearing that she was the daughter of Qin Dingbang from the provincial capital, Zhang Chao also showed a look of shock.

“You get her settled and send her back to her family,” he said.

“Okay, I’ll arrange for someone to take her immediately,” Zhang Chao replied.

Immediately, Zhang Chao called a female officer, who carried the girl away.

“By the way, Mr.

Zhou, there’s an intern reporter outside who, despite the warnings, insisted on breaking in.

We caught her, and she said…”

“She knows you.”

“Hmm?” Zhou Yu was taken aback.

“Take me to see her,” he said.
