Zhou Yu was speechless.
"Hmph, you still don’t want to?"
Zhou Yu said with a bitter smile,
"But, I have to go to Haizhou tomorrow to take care of some matters. I estimate I’ll be staying there for a while; I won’t have time to go to Hucheng."
"However, rest assured, I will find a way to resolve this matter thoroughly."
"By the way, you just mentioned that they put pressure on your great-grandfather through the state government, right?"
"Then the Zhaos should have some understanding of the Zhu Family."
"Yeah, what about it?" asked Zhao Fei’er.
"After you go back, pass a message to Old Zhao, and ask him to help me gather some information on the Zhu Family. As soon as there’s news, notify me immediately."
Zhao Fei’er stared at Zhou Yu.
"Hmph, changing the subject!"
"If you are unwilling, forget it, I’m not without other options."
Having said that, Zhao Fei’er turned around and left in a huff...
Early the next morning.
After Mi Lan had packed her things, she called Zhou Yu to arrange a time and drove over to pick him up.
After Zhou Yu finished breakfast at the hotel, while waiting in the lobby downstairs, Zhao Jianlong’s call came in.
"Zhou Yu, Fei’er came back yesterday and told me about the incident at the bar."
"The Zhu Family from Hucheng is indeed no ordinary force; can you handle them?"
Zhao Jianlong sounded somewhat worried.
"Old Zhao, don’t worry."
"I had someone look up the Zhu Family’s records overnight. But the Zhu Family’s power is vast, and its internal and external forces are complex. It’s not easy to clarify everything all at once. I had them start by looking up the Zhu Family’s recent activities, and I will send that information to you shortly."
"Zhou Yu, promise me, take good care of yourself and don’t take risks. Even if we suffer a setback now, as long as you are safe and sound, I believe that the future you will definitely make the Zhu Family tremble."
Zhao Jianlong had full confidence in Zhou Yu.
"Old Zhao, don’t praise me too much, or I might start floating away."
After chatting with Zhao Jianlong for a few minutes, Zhou Yu hung up the phone, and soon after, he received the information sent by Zhao Jianlong.
The information showed that the Zhu Family had recently been sending people frequently to Haizhou, including the young master of the Zhu Family, Zhu Hongzhe, who was also planning to go to Haizhou this time. Their goal was to establish an agent in Haizhou.
And their target was the He Family in Haizhou.
Zhou Yu appeared thoughtful.
This was indeed a coincidence.
If he remembered correctly, the Saint Realm elder he had slaughtered before was from the He Family of Haizhou.
Although he didn’t know why the He Family hadn’t responded, it was certain that he had forged a deep enmity with the He Family in Haizhou.
Zhou Yu continued to peruse the information.
The content towards the end related to the Zhu Family’s various business operations and social interactions in Haizhou. As Old Zhao had said, the content was vast and complex, and it was difficult to understand everything at a glance.
However, this information was mostly about the Zhu Family’s recent moves in Haizhou, which was very timely since Zhou Yu was about to go to Haizhou and could make use of it.
After a brief look, Zhou Yu had more or less grasped the situation.
Just then, Mi Lan, driving a white domestic sedan, stopped at the hotel entrance.
Today, Mi Lan wore a simple white T-shirt and tight jeans.
Simple as the outfit was, it perfectly accentuated her slender figure, giving off a very comfortable vibe.
Zhou Yu couldn’t help but take a few extra glances.
Mi Lan evidently noticed Zhou Yu’s gaze and her face blushed slightly, but she pretended not to see.
"Zhou Yu, shall we get going?"
After getting into the car, Mi Lan drove onto the highway, heading straight for Haizhou.
On the way, Zhou Yu asked curiously,
"About your parents’ death, have you found any clues?"
Mi Lan fell silent for a moment, then said,
"Before my parents met with the accident, they had sent me away. When I saw them again, they were already..."
"I’ve been investigating their case all these years. Although I’ve gathered some leads, it’s far from sufficient."
"After returning this time, I... I’m thinking of examining their bodies to look for clues."
Hearing this, Zhou Yu’s eyes flickered.
Mi Lan kept her eyes fixed on the road ahead, a strand of her hair hanging by her ear, making her look somewhat weary.
He couldn’t imagine what it must be like to examine one’s parents’ bodies personally.
But undoubtedly, it was an extremely cruel thing for Mi Lan herself.
Zhou Yu didn’t know what to say.
So he chose to remain silent.
Meanwhile, on the same highway, a Benz was also on its way to Haizhou.
Inside the car sat Zhu Hongzhe, Kang Heng, Si Long, and others.
Zhu Hongzhe and Kang Heng were both bandaged heavily, and Si Long had been unconscious up to now.
Kang Heng’s face was pale, his eyes filled with venomous resentment.
"Young master Zhu, are we just going to leave Qinzhou ?"
"This is too suffocating."
Zhu Hongzhe’s expression was dark, his eyes filled with murderous intent.
"Hmph, that’s impossible!"
"I’ve already sent someone to gather that kid’s information."
"Right now, the family has more important things to take care of in Haizhou. Once I’ve dealt with that matter, I’ll make another trip to Qinzhou."
"By that time, I will make that kid beg for mercy, yet unable to live or die!"
In Hucheng, Zhu Hongzhe was someone significant. He had never suffered such a great loss from his childhood to this day.
This time, no matter what, he wouldn’t just let it go.
