Chapter 319 - Turmoil in the Provincial Capital!

Zhou Yu looked at Li Meng and Zhu Sanlong with a smile.

“Brother Zhu, Sister Li, if you don’t mind, the two of you can take over the Liu Family’s assets.”

Although Li Meng and Zhu Sanlong were also present, they felt inferior to the others around them, so they had remained silent.

But then, Zhou Yu suddenly made this statement, and in an instant, all eyes in the room were on them.

Li Meng and Zhu Sanlong were stunned.

“Us?”

“Yes,” Zhou Yu said with a smile.

“This…”

“That’s not appropriate,” Zhu Sanlong swallowed his saliva.

The Liu Family of Yancheng was indeed the leading family in the city, with assets worth several billion.

Letting them take over?

That was simply fantastical.

Zhou Yu smiled.

“There’s nothing inappropriate about it.”

“In a sense, we can be considered fellow disciples.

I think it’s only fitting for you two to take over,” he added.

At this point, Lv Fang quickly said,

“Right, right, Zhou Yu’s right.”

“Rest assured, both of you.

I will do everything I can to help you take over the Liu Family’s assets.”

He was more than eager to have someone share this burden.

He Qiang also promised,

“My Donglin Gang is also willing to assist with all our might.”

Seeing everyone persuading them, Zhu Sanlong and Li Meng looked at each other, then excitedly said,

“Then we, shall respectfully follow your orders.”

“Good.”

After arranging affairs in Yancheng, Zhou Yu did not delay and directly set off back to Yancheng.

When he had come, he was alone.

But while returning, he was joined by two others.

Shui Tianyue and Qin Lan.

Both were exceptionally beautiful women, but Zhou Yu felt enormous pressure.

All the way, he was figuring out how to explain once back.

After arriving in Yancheng, Zhou Yu did not head straight to the Lin Family, but first found a place to settle the two women.

Zhou Yu thought for a moment and called Elder Zhao Jianfeng.

“Elder Zhao.”

“Haha, Xiaoyu, you’re back?”

“Yes, just got back.”

“I’ve been paying close attention to your trip to Yancheng.

Boy, you really shook things up there.

In just half a month, you turned the city upside down.”

Zhao Jianfeng said with genuine admiration.

Zhou Yu gave a wry smile.

“Elder Zhao, you flatter me.

I have a favor to ask of you now.”

“Oh?

Tell me!”

Zhou Yu briefly explained the situation with Shui Tianyue and Qin Lan.

Zhao Jianfeng laughed heartily.

“You lucky boy.”

“Don’t worry, I can’t promise much else, but I have plenty of houses.

I’ll send someone to deliver the keys to you right away.”

“Thank you, Elder Zhao.”

“No need to be polite.”

“By the way, Elder Zhao, how have things been in Yancheng during the half month I was away?”

“Very good, everything has been very calm.

Although it seems calm in the provincial city, the undercurrents are already turbulent,” he replied.

“Oh?”

“What big event happened?”

“The Old Master of the Dong Family passed away, and now the Dong Family is fighting for power.

I heard that the Dong Family’s Third Elder also died at this critical moment.

It’s said that the Dong Family has internally agreed that whoever avenges the Third Elder can become the next Family Head.”

“No one knows how that Dong Minghao died.

Now, the murderer is in trouble,” added Zhou Yu, shrugging his shoulders.

“Elder Zhao, the murderer you mentioned is me.”

Elder Zhao’s smile suddenly froze.

“What???”

“You killed Dong Minghao?”

Although Zhao Jianfeng had been keeping up with the situation in Yancheng, he really hadn’t heard the news about Dong Minghao capturing Shui Tianyue.

“Yes,” Zhou Yu simply explained the situation at the time.

After listening, Zhao Jianfeng’s expression grew grave.

“Xiaoyu, you must be careful recently.”

“The Dong Family isn’t playing around this time.”

“The Dong Family and the Liu Family are the most formidable of the seven major families in the provincial city.

If they seek revenge, it will definitely be with great force,” he concluded.

Zhou Yu nodded.

“Don’t worry, Elder Zhao, I am aware.”

“Besides the business with the Dong Family, is there anything else?”

Zhao Jianfeng pondered for a moment before replying,

“There’s also the matter with the Liu Family.”

“I’ve heard some murmurs that the Liu Family is ambitious and wants to stir the provincial city into chaos, fishing in troubled waters, and completely reshuffling the power in the city, and even the entire Qin Province.”

“Lately, there have already been signs, I heard that there’s consistent friction between the Liu Family and the Hu Family.”

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.

What Zhao Jianfeng mentioned coincided exactly with what Elder Jie had briefed him on.

It seemed that the Liu Family really was about to make a big move.

A cold light flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

No matter what, Zhou Yu would not sit back and watch the Liu Family swallow up the Hu Family.

After hanging up the phone, the man Zhao Jianfeng sent quickly delivered the keys to Zhou Yu.

Just after settling the two women, Zhou Yu’s phone suddenly rang.

It was a call from Jiang Fengnian.

“Zhou Yu, there’s something I must inform you about.”

“Vice Minister Jiang, please go ahead.”

“The Third Elder of the Dong Family, Dong Minghao, was killed by your hand, right?”

“Correct.”

“The Dong Family is now seeking revenge, and moreover, they’re planning to take action against the Lin Family in Yancheng.”

A chilling light suddenly flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

“They dare!!!”
