After Han Mingjie finished the call, Zhou Yu kicked him aside and turned to approach Li Shuangshuang.
"Shuangshuang, don’t worry, Grandpa Li will be back soon."
During the fight between Zhou Yu and Lian Zheng, Li Shuangshuang was tense, not even daring to breathe heavily, with her fingernails digging into her flesh without realizing it.
Now, hearing Zhou Yu’s words, she could no longer hold back.
Li Shuangshuang plunged directly into Zhou Yu’s arms, trembling and sobbing uncontrollably.
Zhou Yu could feel the fear and fright deep within Li Shuangshuang’s heart.
He gently held Li Shuangshuang, slowly patting her back, and soothed her,
"Shuangshuang, don’t worry, it’s okay."
Li Shuangshuang, unable to speak through her sobs, said,
"Zhou Yu, I am so glad you’re here."
"Otherwise, I wouldn’t know what to do."
"Zhou Yu, can my grandpa really come back safe and sound?"
"If even one hair on Grandpa Li is missing, I’ll make them pay a heavy price."
Zhou Yu’s gaze flickered towards Han Mingjie.
At that moment, Han Mingjie’s heart was full of rage, already plotting how to take revenge on Zhou Yu after leaving here.
But feeling Zhou Yu’s sudden glance, he shivered all over, quickly lowering his head, not daring to meet Zhou Yu’s eyes.
Half an hour later, a Cadillac SUV stopped at the door.
Immediately after, the doors opened, and two men brought down an old man covered in blood and unconscious from the car.
This old man was Li De’an.
Li Shuangshuang felt everything go dark, nearly fainting, but still, she staggered toward him.
A cold light suddenly flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
He swiftly scanned Li De’an’s body with his Divine Sense.
He then let out a slight sigh of relief.
Thankfully, Li De’an had only suffered some superficial wounds and lost some blood; the problem wasn’t too serious.
But this was still enough to infuriate Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu’s expression was grim as he strode toward Han Mingjie.
Han Mingjie backed away in fright.
"What... what do you want to do?"
"He’s fine... he just shed some blood."
Zhou Yu exuded a chilling anger.
"You should remember what I said just now."
"If one hair on Grandpa Li’s head is harmed, I’ll seek twice the retribution on you."
Han Mingjie tried to explain, but Zhou Yu simply extended a finger and made a slicing motion through the air.
A streak of Flame True Qi burst out in an instant.
Han Mingjie’s left arm was severed on the spot.
Han Mingjie was stunned for a moment, then let out a piercing scream, covering the stump with his other hand, and writhed in agony on the ground.
Amidst the extreme pain, he roared,
"You... killing me is useless; I was acting on orders..."
"The Han Family’s power... is beyond your imagination; you can’t stop what they intend to do..."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu said coldly,
"I don’t care how mighty the Han Family is, if they dare touch Shuangshuang, even if it takes me a lifetime, to the ends of the earth, I will ensure the Han Family is ruined."
"This message, you take back to the Han Family exactly as I said it."
Han Mingjie looked at Zhou Yu as if he were insane.
"You’ve got guts; I’ll bring your words back to my family."
After saying that, he called his men over to help him up, ready to leave.
But Zhou Yu snorted coldly,
"You think you can leave just like that?"
Han Mingjie’s face changed,
"What? You... want to go back on your word?"
"Bencao Tang ruined by your actions. You think you can just walk away?"
Zhou Yu looked at Han Mingjie with cold eyes.
Losing so much blood, his face extremely pale, Han Mingjie clenched his teeth tightly and growled,
"Just say it, what do you want?"
"When the money is in the account, then you can get lost."
"What??? Three billion???"
Han Mingjie’s face was a mixture of shock and fury.
Han Mingjie, never humiliated before in his life, wished to tear Zhou Yu into pieces, but he was not foolish; at this moment, he was at Zhou Yu’s mercy, so he had no choice but to comply with Zhou Yu’s demand.
Han Mingjie said through gritted teeth.
After all, he was from the Han Family, and they had money to spare.
Enduring the pain, Han Mingjie made a call to his father.
"Dad, transfer three billion to my account quickly, I need it urgently."
On the other end of the phone, a perplexed voice came,
"Mingjie, what’s wrong?"
"Weren’t you sent to Yancheng to handle business, why do you suddenly need money?"
In front of Zhou Yu, Han Mingjie dared not complain; he could only suppress the raging fury and pain inside him,
"Dad, it’s urgent, I’ll explain later."
Han Mingjie’s father, Han Xide, didn’t ask further.
After hanging up the phone, in less than ten minutes, three billion arrived in the account.
Following Zhou Yu’s request, once the transfer was complete, Han Mingjie nearly passed out from shock.
"Can I... can I leave now?"
Han Mingjie mustered the last of his energy to roar.
Immediately, Han Mingjie’s subordinates helped him up and, together with Lian Zheng, left in a sorry state.
As Han Mingjie got into the car, Zhou Yu flicked his finger, shooting a cold light into Han Mingjie’s lower back.
After Han Mingjie and others left, Li Shuangshuang, tearful and distressed, ran over.
"Zhou Yu, please save my grandfather, I can’t wake him up no matter what."
Zhou Yu hurriedly reassured her,
"Shuangshuang, don’t panic, Grandpa Li will be alright."
"I promise, he will definitely wake up within half an hour."
Li Shuangshuang, with tear-stained eyes, clutched Zhou Yu’s hand and nodded vigorously.
Zhou Yu went over to Li De’an, and started treating him.
