254: Chapter 254: A Phone Call!
In the private room, Qiao Bufan saw his men rushing in and he was visibly displeased.
He was about to scold them when a loud bang resounded.
The door to the private room was kicked open.
A young man walked in.
Seeing this person, Tao Tao’s eyes were filled with disbelief.
It really was Zhou Yu.
She hurriedly called out:
Qiao Bufan paused for a moment before revealing a cold smile.
“So, you are that Mr.
“I was just about to look for you, but you’ve unexpectedly come to me of your own accord.”
“Ah Hu, cripple him for me.”
Qiao Bufan ordered the bodyguard.
The bodyguard’s face was extremely unpleasant.
“Young Master Qiao, this guy is also a Martial Artist; Ah Long has already been killed by him.”
Qiao Bufan’s eyes narrowed.
“No wonder he’s so arrogant, it turns out he’s also a Martial Artist.”
“Kid, do you know who I am?
I’m the young master of the Qiao Family from the provincial city, don’t think that just because you know a bit of martial arts, you can act so boldly in front of me.”
“My Qiao Family has an Innate master backing us.
If you don’t want to die, kneel down immediately.”
Facing Qiao Bufan’s threat, Zhou Yu appeared indifferent as he casually said:
“I’ll give you three seconds to release Miss Tao.”
Qiao Bufan’s eyes widened, he said coldly.
“Three seconds have passed.” Zhou Yu said casually.
Then, he vanished like a phantom, disappearing in an instant.
Qiao Bufan suffered a heavy blow to the chest, spat out a large mouthful of blood, and was sent flying backwards.
Zhou Yu then appeared where Qiao Bufan had been standing.
This scene dumbfounded everyone.
Everyone doubted if they were seeing things.
Was this a human or a ghost?
Zhou Yu then looked towards Tao Tao.
“Tao Tao, are you alright?”
At this moment, all the tension in Tao Tao’s body immediately relaxed, and she threw herself into Zhou Yu’s arms, crying out loud.
Zhou Yu quickly comforted her.
After a little while, when Tao Tao had somewhat calmed down, Zhou Yu then asked.
“What exactly happened?
Why did you come here?”
Tao Tao, with red eyes, said:
“After looking for you, I went straight to the job interview, which I had scheduled beforehand.”
“When I arrived, I met Qiao Bufan.”
“He said that everything about me was fine, that I could get the job after a re-interview.”
“I agreed, but to my surprise, his idea of a re-interview was bringing me to a bar, demanding that I become his lover.
I refused, and he began to coerce and force me…”
“If it wasn’t for you arriving in time, I might have been…”
Tao Tao was shaking with fear, tears streaming down uncontrollably again.
Zhou Yu was taken aback.
“You don’t have a job right now?”
“I had one, but after the boss of my former company found out I had offended Han Chufeng, afraid of trouble, he fired me.”
Sometimes it was —if you didn’t have a strong background, being too attractive could be a sin.
It was the case for Tao Tao.
“What did you major in?”
A thought struck Zhou Yu.
He remembered that the Lin Corporation was currently in need of a Finance Director.
Just then, Qiao Bufan finally stood up from the ground.
His face contorted with pain, the fury in his eyes seemed about to erupt.
“Kid, you dare hit me; you’re dead meat.
I will tear you apart.”
“And you, you wretch.
This isn’t over between us.”
Facing Qiao Bufan’s threat, Tao Tao turned pale with fright.
She obviously saw that Qiao Bufan was someone of significant influence.
Fear filled Tao Tao’s eyes.
Zhou, you should go first, I…I’ll stay behind, you don’t need to worry about me.
She didn’t want to drag Zhou Yu down with her.
Seeing her reaction, Zhou Yu gently patted Tao Tao’s shoulder, then turned to Qiao Bufan and said indifferently.
“Quite arrogant, aren’t you?”
“What, the Qiao Family is so influential?”
Qiao Bufan’s face was filled with resentment.
Zhou Yu smiled faintly, took out his phone, and dialed Zhao Jianlong’s number.
Zhao Jianlong’s hearty laughter could be heard.
“Zhou Yu, what’s up with you calling me?”
Zhou Yu asked with a smile: “Zhao Lao, may I inquire about someone, do you know Qiao Bufan?”
“Is it the kid from the Qiao Family?
“What kind of power does the Qiao Family hold?”
They have been growing quite rapidly in the last two years, apparently with the support of the Gao Family.”
“Right, what made you suddenly ask about this?”
Zhou Yu briefly explained the situation with Qiao Bufan.
After hearing the story, Zhao Jianlong snorted coldly.
“A mere Qiao Family has dared to be so presumptuous.”
“Zhou Yu, I’ll handle it.
Don’t worry, I won’t leave any trouble for your friend.”
Zhou Yu smiled slightly, appreciating that Zhao Jianlong, as an old hand, understood exactly what he meant without further explanation.
After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu looked towards Tao Tao.
“Don’t worry, it’s taken care of.
The Qiao Family will not dare trouble you again.”
Tao Tao looked incredulous.
“Is this… really true?”
Before Zhou Yu could reply, Qiao Bufan laughed mockingly:
“Ha ha ha, what a fool!
Is this how you show off in front of women?”
“My Qiao Family is powerful; you think you can resolve this with a phone call?
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than his own phone began to ring.
“Dad, I was just about to call you…”
“You ingrate, shut up.
Zhou immediately; otherwise, I’ll come to Yancheng overnight and split you in half myself, you beast.”
