It must be said that as the governor, Zhang Zheng’s ability to mobilize resources is absolutely top-notch.
The seven types of Spiritual Medicine listed by Zhou Yu were all delivered one after another in less than half an hour.
Zhou Yu immediately began preparing the medicinal bath.
For injuries like the recovery of meridians, Zhou Yu was already quite skilled.
He added the medicinal materials one by one and then let Liu Bo enter the medicinal bath barrel. As soon as Liu Bo got in, Zhou Yu immediately stimulated his Nether Fire True Qi to start the healing process.
Two hours later, Liu Bo had completely recovered.
When he came out of the bath barrel, he was glowing, his complexion rosy, and his spirit almost at its peak.
Liu Bo, feeling the strength flowing freely in his body without a trace of hidden injury, could no longer contain the excitement in his heart.
The feeling of plummeting to the bottom of a valley and then soaring to the clouds made Liu Bo’s exhilaration beyond words.
He bowed to Zhou Yu respectfully and said:
"Mr. Zhou, thank you for saving my life."
Zhou Yu quickly helped him up.
"Liu Bo, please don’t do this, I can’t accept it."
"It was just a small effort on my part."
Liu Bo shook his head and said:
"To you, it may be a small effort, but to me, it is a life-saving grace."
"If it weren’t for you, my path in martial arts would have come to an end in this lifetime."
Zhang Zheng laughed heartily, looking very pleased.
"All right, we’re all family here, let’s not thank each other back and forth."
Only then did Liu Bo stand up.
"Liu Bo, the person who injured you, is he called the Bald Judge?"
"Yes." Liu Bo nodded with a complex expression.
"On the surface, he was targeting old Liu, but in fact, he was targeting me," Zhang Zheng said in a grave voice.
"The Yan Family, a deeply rooted family power, has gradually become a cancer in Haizhou over hundreds of years of development. They disregard the law, act with ruthless and sinister methods, and have increasingly stopped taking me seriously. This kind of cancer must be removed."
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.
"Liu Bo, what do you know about this Bald Judge?"
Feeling the chill in Zhou Yu’s tone, Liu Bo was startled.
"Mr. Zhou, do you have some grievance with him?"
"It was he who captured Mi Lan. If I hadn’t arrived in time, who knows what might have happened to her."
In front of a group of important figures, Mi Lan had always been afraid to speak up.
Now, seeing that everyone’s gaze was on her, Mi Lan quickly nodded her head.
"Yes, it was that bald guy who captured me."
Liu Bo’s eyes flickered with cold light as he spoke:
"This man’s origins are very mysterious. I only know that he is from Hucheng, and there must be a significant power behind him, but I don’t know which one it is."
"Liu Bo, do you know where he is now?" Zhou Yu pressed on.
Liu Bo’s face showed surprise.
"Mr. Zhou, you aren’t thinking of going to find him, are you?"
"Please don’t act rashly."
"The Bald Judge is an extraordinary individual, having reached at least the Mid-Holy Realm. You are still young. A gentleman can seek revenge, even after ten years."
In Liu Bo’s view, Zhou Yu had a bright future, and he didn’t want to see Zhou Yu act impulsively and ruin his prospects.
Zhou Yu, however, shook his head.
The fact that the Yan Family could employ the Bald Judge to target Zhang Zheng and Mi Lan meant he would inevitably target Zhou Yu as well.
This man must be eradicated, or he would always be a threat.
"Liu Bo, if you know anything, please tell me."
"This person must be dealt with."
Liu Bo was visibly anxious.
Why doesn’t Zhou Yu listen to advice?
You’re only in the Innate Realm now.
Just then, Secretary Mao suddenly remembered something, and he hurriedly approached, saying:
"Governor, Lord Liu, you may have underestimated Mr. Zhou’s strength."
"Mr. Zhou, at Wanhua Tower, crippled Qu Yaowu."
Zhang Zheng and Liu Bo, both showed shocked expressions.
"Secretary Mao, what did you say? Say it again." Zhang Zheng couldn’t believe his own ears.
Secretary Mao quickly repeated what he had seen, and then he took out the surveillance video.
"Governor, that’s how it happened."
Zhang Zheng and Liu Bo looked at Zhou Yu with faces full of astonishment.
Qu Yaowu’s reputation was well-known in Haizhou.
Although he was only in the Early Holy Realm, his understanding of fist intents had reached the ’Heaven-piercing’ level, and his actual combat strength should be about the same as the Bald Judge’s.
It was unexpected that Zhou Yu had actually crippled Qu Yaowu.
No wonder he was not afraid of the Bald Judge.
Zhou Yu touched his nose and smiled, saying:
"Uncle Zhang, this Qu Yaowu is the deputy director of the Haizhou Martial Arts Council. I’ve crippled him, that should cause quite some trouble, right?"
After the brief shock, a sharp light suddenly flashed in Zhang Zheng’s eyes, and he immediately said:
"No worry, even without evidence, with my protection, the Martial Arts Council wouldn’t dare to do anything to you."
"Besides, we now have the surveillance video as evidence."
"Now, I can actually demand an explanation from the Martial Arts Council."
"Zhou Yu, I have a plan that needs your help."
Zhou Yu was startled and asked:
"Uncle Zhang, go ahead."
"It’s quite simple. It’s to use this incident, where the Martial Arts Council and Yan Family conspired to frame you, to make things difficult for the Martial Arts Council. In doing so, the Martial Arts Council will surely have to trouble the Yan Family."
"This is the first step in dealing with the Yan Family."
Zhou Yu, hearing this plan, couldn’t help but admire it.
It was a move worthy of a governor, using others to eliminate one’s enemy, a strategy out in the open. Even if the Martial Arts Council knew Zhang Zheng’s intention, they would still have to find fault with the Yan Family.
Zhou Yu had come to Haizhou specifically for the Yan Family, and now having the opportunity to join hands with Zhang Zheng against them was naturally too good to miss.
Of course, he wouldn’t refuse.
Zhang Zheng suddenly looked at Zhou Yu, speaking earnestly:
"Zhou Yu, don’t rush to confront the Bald Judge. Because behind the Yan Family, there’s the support of a major power from Shanghai."
"If I’m not mistaken, that major power from Shanghai is the Tianyu Commerce Chamber."
"And this Bald Judge is likely sent by the Tianyu Commerce Chamber."
Tianyu Commerce Chamber?
Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.
Not long ago, the one he had slain, Wang Tianfeng, belonged to the Tianyu Commerce Chamber.
He hadn’t expected to encounter them again.
Truly, enemies often cross each other’s paths.
However, Zhou Yu did not tell Zhang Zheng about Wang Tianfeng’s incident; he simply nodded.
"Okay, Uncle Zhang, I understand."
After that, Zhang Zheng prepared a meal, and Zhou Yu, Mi Lan, and the others enjoyed a harmonious dinner, during which they also discussed many things about the situation in Haizhou.
After dinner, Zhou Yu and Mi Lan said goodbye.
The two drove back to the hotel.
When they returned to the hotel, it was already past eleven at night.
In the hotel parking lot, Mi Lan parked the car. Just as they got out, suddenly, a black shadow swooped in.
