243: Chapter 243 Evil Eye Talisman!
“Is there someone else?” Xu Zongnian’s face darkened.
Zhou, can you find out who’s behind him?”
Zhou Yu thought for a moment.
“Judging by the aura on his body, he should be with that person often.”
“Could it be his wife?” Xu Zongnian speculated.
“That’s one possibility, of course, it could also be someone else.”
“Whoever it is, I’ll know once I meet them.”
Xu Zongnian pleaded urgently:
Zhou, no matter what, you must help me uncover the person behind him.”
“The Xu Family will be eternally grateful.”
Soon, Hou Junshan returned, and everyone continued their meal.
While they were eating, a lean man entered from outside.
This man said respectfully:
“Boss Hou, the company just called and said there’s a problem that you need to go back to handle urgently.”
Upon seeing this man, a flicker of insight crossed Zhou Yu’s eyes.
“He’s my secretary, Xiao Wu.”
“Okay, Xiao Wu, I got it.
Start the car, I’ll come out soon.”
Xiao Wu nodded and left.
Hou Junshan stood up and said:
“Big brother, I’m truly sorry, something has come up at the company, and I need to go back.
I’ll treat you all another day.”
Xu Zongnian forcefully suppressed the anger in his heart and looked towards Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu began to speak.
“Uncle Xu, didn’t we just say we wanted to go out?
It’ll be convenient to catch a ride with Uncle Hou.”
“I’m sure Uncle Hou won’t mind.”
Xu Zongnian was slightly stunned but quickly caught on.
“Right, right, Hou, I was just about to head out too; let’s go together.”
Hou Junshan looked puzzled.
“What about your car?”
Xu Zongnian smiled and said:
“This is because I wanted to have more time to talk with you on the way.
Don’t worry, I won’t delay your business.”
Hou Junshan, unsuspecting, nodded:
Saying this, the three of them walked outside.
Xu Qingqing caught up with them.
Xu Zongnian hesitated for a moment, then looked at Zhou Yu.
“Then, let’s go together.”
Xu Zongnian, Zhou Yu, and Xu Qingqing all got into Hou Junshan’s car.
The car quickly left the villa area.
On the way, Xu Zongnian was chatting with Hou Junshan, but his gaze kept flickering towards Zhou Yu, trying to guess his intentions.
However, Zhou Yu’s face betrayed nothing.
As the car reached a quiet stretch of road, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke up.
“Uncle Hou, there’s something I want to ask you about.”
Hou Junshan laughed heartily:
“I want to know why you keep saying that you watched Qingqing grow up and wouldn’t allow others to harm her, yet why did you harm her?”
A sound of an abrupt stop.
The speeding car came to a sudden halt.
Everyone was startled, except for Zhou Yu, who remained composed.
Hou Junshan turned to Zhou Yu with an icy voice.
“What do you mean by that?”
“Exactly what I said!”
Hou Junshan’s expression changed.
He seemed to be infuriated and about to teach Zhou Yu a lesson when Xu Zongnian shouted sternly.
“Hou Junshan, isn’t it time to stop lying?”
“If you dare to make a move, don’t blame me for being rude.”
A powerful aura burst from Xu Zongnian, locking down Hou Junshan.
In an instant, the atmosphere in the car became incredibly tense.
Hou Junshan took a deep breath.
“Big brother, Zhou Yu is falsely accusing me, and you believe him over me?”
“Fine, you say that the evil art in Qingqing is related to me, where’s the evidence?
Just going to take his word for it?”
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
“Hou Junshan, did I mention evil arts just now?
How do you know Qingqing is cursed?”
Hou Junshan’s face changed again, realizing his slip of the tongue.
“I guessed, because I’ve also felt that something’s been off with Qingqing recently.”
“But just based on that, you want to splash dirt on me, that’s really laughable.”
“As I said, unless, you can present the evidence.”
“The evidence is on you.”
As he spoke, Zhou Yu swiftly reached out towards Hou Junshan.
Hou Junshan instinctively defended, but his elbow was touched by Zhou Yu’s finger and immediately froze as if immobilized.
Zhou Yu grabbed at the collar and tore off a peculiarly shaped pendant.
This isn’t ordinary.”
“With your skills, you can’t make such a sinister item.”
Zhou Yu looked impressed.
Then, in front of everyone, he crushed the pendant.
In an instant, a surge of black energy burst forth.
This black energy formed a ghastly eye in midair, which was quite terrifying.
Once the ghost eye took shape, it shot towards Zhou Yu’s own eyes.
Zhou Yu snorted coldly.
He struck with his palm.
The potent Nether Fire True Qi directly dispersed the ghost eye.
This act made everything quite clear to everyone present.
Xu Zongnian and Xu Qingqing were filled with disbelief and anger in their eyes.
At that moment, Hou Junshan returned to normal.
Now, his face was terribly unsightly as he stared coldly at Zhou Yu.
“Hou Junshan, are you still trying to weasel your way out now?”
“You heartless beast, how could you bring yourself to harm Qingqing.”
Hou Junshan’s face turned extremely unnatural, and a struggle flashed in his eyes.
“Hou Junshan, I’ll ask you one more time, why did you do this?” Xu Zongnian’s eyes burned with rage.
Facing the furious Xu Zongnian, Hou Junshan was conflicted.
Just then, his secretary suddenly made a move, aiming a punch at Hou Junshan’s head.
At such close range and with the surprise attack, Xu Zongnian and the others couldn’t react in time.
But Zhou Yu seemed to have anticipated it.
“Planning to silence with murder?”
