Chapter 343 - I pity you!

After transferring ten billion yuan to Shui Tianyue’s account, Bei Yong suppressed his anger and asked,

“Can we leave now?”

Zhou Yu replied indifferently,

“Don’t rush, there’s still one question you need to answer.”

Bei Yong was taken aback.

“What?”

“Why did your Tianhu Business Alliance want to snatch the project of Metro Line 10 in the provincial capital?”

Bei Yong’s corner of the eye twitched unnaturally.

He clearly had not expected that Zhou Yu would ask this question.

“It’s nothing, the Tianhu Business Alliance has its own real estate development company, controlling the metro means controlling the house prices.”

“Is it that simple?”

Zhou Yu had cultivated Divine Touch and was very sensitive to changes in the surrounding aura.

Although Bei Yong was hiding it well, Zhou Yu still noticed the changes in his breathing and heartbeat.

“Of course,” Bei Yong asserted firmly.

Zhou Yu said lightly,

“I have a needle technique that can make people speak the truth, do you want to try?”

At these words, Bei Yong’s complexion changed drastically.

“You…”

He roared,

“What exactly do you want to do?”

Zhou Yu said indifferently,

“I’m giving you one last chance, answer my question truthfully.”

Feeling the terrifying pressure from Zhou Yu, Bei Yong lowered his head, he was silent for a long time as if weighing his options.

Zhou Yu was not in a hurry.

After a long while, he finally spoke,

“Someone instructed us to do it.”

“But if I expose them, our Tian Family is doomed.”

“If you don’t talk, you’re doomed right now.”

Bei Yong took a deep breath.

“It’s the Shenwu Hall.”

“The Shenwu Hall?”

Zhou Yu was taken aback.

What kind of power was this that he had not heard of?

“I’m not very clear about the origins of the Shenwu Hall, I only know that the Head of the Shenwu Hall is an absolutely dangerous person who rarely shows his face.

Usually, it’s the four elders who handle matters.”

“Our Tianhu Business Alliance only followed the orders of the elders’ council.”

“It was they who asked us to compete against the Lin Family for this project.”

This time, Bei Yong did not lie.

“What about the Letian Association?”

“Does the Letian Association have anything to do with this?”

Bei Yong shook his head.

“I don’t know about that; I only know that the higher-ups of the Letian Association and Shenwu Hall are also connected.”

A light flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.

Unexpectedly, these two mysterious forces were both connected to the Lin Family of Yancheng; there must be a big secret involved.

However, Bei Yong was just following orders, and he was not aware of the details behind it.

To understand the hidden details, he would probably need to find the true core figures of the Shenwu Hall or Letian Association.

Zhou Yu did not make it difficult for Bei Yong any further and let him and his son leave.

Only after Bei Yong and his son had left did Hu Zilong recover from his shock.

He looked at Zhou Yu with complex emotions.

Since he knew that his father, Hu Pingchang, had submitted to Zhou Yu to protect him, his heart had been filled with indignation.

He thought that one day, he would make Zhou Yu pay the price.

But, after the scene just now, that thought had completely vanished.

Zhou Yu was too powerful, so powerful that he couldn’t muster the thought of resisting.

“Mr…

Mr.

Zhou.”

“Will you be in the provincial capital recently?”

Hu Zilong asked cautiously.

Zhou Yu nodded.

“Yes, why?”

“Recently, I’ve noticed something strange at home, my Dad and the others seem to have become secretive.

If you have time, could you visit the Hu Family?”

Zhou Yu nodded.

“Alright, I will when I have the time.”

Hu Zilong nodded and then took his leave.

Tang Long also politely greeted Zhou Yu and then took his leave with his people.

“Let’s go,”

Zhou Yu said to Zhao Fei’er.

The two walked side by side towards the hotel.

On the way, Zhou Yu reminded,

“That girlfriend of yours named Xiaxia, don’t associate with her anymore; that woman has a lot of scheming inside her.

Be careful or one day you’ll be sold and still be counting money for others.”

“Hmph, am I that stupid?”

Zhao Fei’er said defiantly.

“Not stupid?

If you’re not stupid, why did you go drink with her?”

“I have you, don’t I?

You definitely wouldn’t stand by and watch me get bullied.”

Zhao Fei’er suddenly said with a playful smile.

Zhou Yu looked helpless.

“I can’t be by your side every day.”

“Then I’ll follow you every day, how about that?”

Zhou Yu’s expression changed.

If she followed him every day, what would Lin Luoluo think?

“Tsk!”

“You’re seriously considering it?

I still have to go to school, who would want to follow you?”

Zhou Yu raised his hands in surrender.

After returning to the hotel, Zhao Fei’er quickly fell asleep, while Zhou Yu continued to cultivate.

Ever since he acquired the Dark Yin Method, his Primordial Spirit had been improving daily.

Although the improvements were not very significant, over a month, his Primordial Spirit had consolidated quite a bit.

Now, if only he could consolidate the Yang Spirit, he would be able to transcend into the realm of Transcending the Ordinary.

The next morning.

After Zhao Fei’er woke up, she asked,

“Didn’t you sleep last night?”

Zhou Yu replied irritably, “There’s only one bed, and I gave it to you.

How could I have slept?”

Zhao Fei’er exclaimed,

“Wow, a person who can easily extort 10 billion is living so miserably.”

“Hey, what do you mean ‘extort’?

That was all for you.”

Zhao Fei’er hooked her arms around Zhou Yu’s neck.

“Seeing how much you’ve done for me, I’ll be generous and let you stay at my place for a few days.

It’s much more spacious than this.”

“No need…”

Zhou Yu was about to refuse, but Zhao Fei’er threw a pillow at him.

“Turn around, I’m getting dressed.”

Zhou Yu felt helpless.

This lady really is a little devil.

He had no choice but to turn around.

But, having a Primordial Spirit, what difference did turning around make?

“Tsk tsk…

This girl even wears lace underwear…”

After getting dressed, Zhao Fei’er grabbed Zhou Yu, and they took a cab to her villa.

And really.

Upon arriving, Zhou Yu felt completely relaxed.

The location here was really good, very suitable for cultivation.

Zhou Yu didn’t refuse and settled in for now.

After settling Zhou Yu, Zhao Fei’er went to school.

Zhou Yu didn’t stay in the room for long, he went out for a stroll nearby, looking for the best place to cultivate.

While walking, suddenly, a girl approached him, her face lighting up with joy upon seeing him.

“Mr.

Zhou!”

“Miss Hou?”

This girl was none other than Hou Baoguo’s granddaughter, Hou Lanyue, from Hou Family in the provincial city.

Lin Yuntian had injured Li He who was then killed by Zhou Yu, Zhou Yu got the Fire Spirit Grass from Li De’an to treat Li He, encountering Hou Baoguo’s granddaughter also wanting Fire Spirit Grass.

Zhou Yu cured Hou Baoguo.

Hou Baoguo then protected the Lin Family for a while.

But considering Hou Baoguo was the head of the provincial city’s Hou Family and couldn’t stay at the Lin Family forever, Zhou Yu asked Lu Wuya to replace Hou Baoguo, and Hou Baoguo returned to the provincial city with Hou Lanyue.

Unexpectedly, he met Hou Lanyue again today.

“What are you doing here?”

Hou Lanyue laughed,

“My grandfather and I live here.”

“Right, ever since my grandfather left Yancheng and the Lin Family two months ago, he’s been talking about you.”

“He’s home right now, why don’t you come with me to see him?”

Hou Lanyue invited warmly.

Zhou Yu did not refuse.

“Alright.”

Under Hou Lanyue’s lead, the two arrived at Hou Baoguo’s villa.

Just as they reached the door, Zhou Yu suddenly frowned.

“Something seems off at home.”

“What’s wrong?” Hou Lanyue asked, puzzled.

Just then, the Hou family’s butler hurried out.

Seeing Hou Lanyue, he urgently said,

“Miss, the old master, he…

he’s in trouble!!!”

Hou Lanyue’s face changed, and she rushed inside.

What she saw was Hou Baoguo severely injured, covered in blood, his breath weak, and he could pass away at any moment!

“Grandfather!!!”

Hou Lanyue was distraught, crying as she ran over, kneeling on the ground, and holding Hou Baoguo.

“Grandfather, what happened to you?”

Seeing no response from Hou Baoguo.

She quickly turned her head towards Zhou Yu.

“Zhou Yu, please, save my grandfather…”
