Bai Yutang was already thoroughly terrified, he truly dared not lie.
He trembled as he spoke:
"It’s because... many of the Bai Family’s businesses are still in the hands of the old grandmaster..."
"The current Family Head of the Bai Family must take control of these businesses."
"Otherwise, the position of Family Head is just in name only."
This information was a closely guarded secret of the Bai Family, unknown even to Li Zerui.
Since the old grandmaster of the Bai Family had fled to Haizhou, the Tianyu Business Association, the Haizhou Zhu Family, and those other covetous clans, had all sent the younger generation to Haizhou to search for the whereabouts of the Bai Family’s old grandmaster.
Their goal was to find the old grandmaster of the Bai Family and use his life to negotiate with the current Family Head of the Bai Family for benefits.
Subconsciously, they believed that since the Bai Family’s old grandmaster had fled in such a sorry state, it meant he had completely lost power and, even if there was value, it wasn’t significant.
Therefore, these major families and powers all treated this matter as training for their younger generation and unanimously sent younger people to handle it.
But if they ever found out that the old grandmaster still controlled a large amount of Bai Family assets, the situation would change.
By then, far more powerful forces would get involved, the Bai Family would become perilously endangered, actually facing the danger of being divided up.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Yu more or less understood the situation with the Bai Family.
He pondered for a moment, then looked towards Chen Feihu.
Chen Feihu immediately obeyed, coming over to untie the ropes on Bai Yutang.
After being untied, Bai Yutang cautiously watched Zhou Yu.
"What... what do you want to do?"
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
Bai Yutang thought he had heard wrong.
"You... you are letting me go?"
Zhou Yu raised an eyebrow.
"What, you don’t want to leave now?"
Bai Yutang was unclear about what Zhou Yu really wanted to do.
He said through gritted teeth:
"Aren’t you afraid that after I go back, I’ll bring Bai Family experts to seek revenge on you?"
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
"But, you only have one chance, if the person you bring isn’t my match, then be prepared to lose your little life."
Bai Yutang’s face suddenly turned somewhat unsightly.
He took a deep look at Zhou Yu, then headed outside.
He hadn’t walked more than a few steps when he suddenly remembered something and turned his head.
"Uncle Lu... where is Uncle Lu?"
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
"He, I still have use for him."
"Whether he can return or not will depend on his performance."
Upon hearing this, Bai Yutang’s face changed color.
"How can that be! Without Uncle Lu to protect me, I can hardly move an inch in Haizhou..."
Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.
"That’s none of my concern, if you keep talking nonsense, then just stay here."
Bai Yutang, frightened, shrank his neck and dared not speak further, hastily leaving.
After Bai Yutang left, Chen Feihu hesitated for a moment, then asked:
"Mr. Zhou, are you really just letting him go?"
He had just given Bai Yutang a fierce beating, and if Bai Yutang decided to retaliate, he would surely be dead.
Zhou Yu saw through Chen Feihu’s concerns at a glance.
"Don’t worry, as long as you are still my man, you won’t have any trouble."
"Alright, take me to the other one."
Chen Feihu quickly nodded.
Soon, they arrived at another dungeon.
Upon seeing him, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but laugh and cry.
Chen Feihu, in order to prevent Lu Kun from escaping, had actually used titanium chains to nearly wrap Lu Kun like a zongzi, with only his head exposed.
He approached Lu Kun and found him still unconscious.
Zhou Yu immediately said:
Chen Feihu quickly had someone unchain Lu Kun.
Zhou Yu grabbed Lu Kun’s wrist, checked him, then wrote down a prescription and handed it to Chen Feihu.
"Prepare this prescription immediately."
Chen Feihu quickly nodded, took the prescription, and ran off.
An hour later, the ingredients listed on the prescription were all prepared and brewed, presented to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu grabbed Lu Kun’s wrist, slowly transferring Yi Wood True Qi into his body.
Before long, Lu Kun woke up.
He slowly opened his eyes, his gaze filled with confusion.
This state lasted for a full minute before his eyes gradually became clear.
When he saw Zhou Yu in front of him, Lu Kun immediately showed a furious expression.
"Kid, what did you do to Yutang?"
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
"Old Man Lu, no need to worry, I’ve already let him go. As for where he went, I don’t know."
"Do you think I will believe what you say?" Lu Kun roared.
Zhou Yu said indifferently:
"Believe it or not, that’s up to you. Now, let’s talk about your matter."
"Do you want to live, or do you want to die?"
Lu Kun was full of rage.
"Kid, kill or maim me as you wish, but if you think to get anything from my mouth, let me tell you forthrightly, it’s impossible, there’s no chance."
Zhou Yu laughed and said:
"What I wanted to know, Bai Yutang has already told me everything."
"I don’t wish to beat around the bush with you anymore, if you want to live, you need to agree to do one thing for me."
"If you choose to die, I will grant you that wish."
"But, I will not let you die a dignified death. I have many soul techniques, and I will experiment with each on you until your soul can no longer bear it."
"I think I’ve made myself quite clear."
"Now, it’s your choice."
Hearing Zhou Yu’s words, Lu Kun’s face became extremely grim.
If given a choice, who would choose to die?
However, he couldn’t fathom what Zhou Yu was really plotting.
His heart was full of struggle.
At this moment, Zhou Yu said indifferently:
"My time is very precious; I have no interest in wasting it with you. I’ll give you one more minute to decide."
"If there’s still no decision, then I will assume you’ve chosen the latter."
Lu Kun, infuriated, gritted his teeth and said:
"What do you want me to do?"
