The Bai Family’s secret?
A sharp light flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes.
Ever since Bai Yulou’s visit to Yancheng, Zhou Yu had planned to take Lin Luoluo and Bai Yuzhen with him, but Bai Yulou’s warning forced Bai Yuzhen to abandon the idea of going to Shanghai City.
However, Zhou Yu could tell that Bai Yuzhen still deeply valued her ties with the Bai Family.
Therefore, if there was a chance to help Bai Yuzhen, Zhou Yu was more than willing to do so.
Gui Chi took a deep breath and said,
"Actually, many people outside believe that it was the illness of the Bai Family’s old master that sparked the family power struggle..."
"Isn’t it so?" Wang Bo frowned.
Gui Chi shook his head.
"In fact, what they call the old master’s critical illness is nothing but a ruse; his true condition is that he has suffered severe injuries."
Wang Bo was shocked and said,
"The old master of the Shanghai Bai Family has a highly esteemed cultivation, how could he have sustained severe injuries..."
As he spoke, he suddenly realized something.
"You mean... there is also interference from the Dark Realm in this matter?"
"It was the current Family Head of the Bai Family who sought a master from the Dark Realm to launch a sneak attack on the old master, resulting in his severe injuries."
Again, the Dark Realm!
Unexpectedly, in such a short time, the Dark Realm had committed so many acts in Shanghai City, causing chaos and acting lawlessly.
Moreover, if this message was correct, then there involved a tremendous secret...
Wang Bo’s face turned very ugly.
Yet Zhou Yu did not notice, as he kept his gaze fixed on Gui Chi, continuing to press,
"I heard the old master of the Bai Family and his party have fled to Haizhou. Do you know their location?"
Gui Chi shook his head.
"That, I do not know."
At this moment, Wang Bo suddenly spoke up.
"Young Master Zhou, I see you are quite concerned about the matters of the Bai Family, may I ask what relationship you have with them?"
"The Bai Family is the maternal family of my fiancée."
"I once promised my mother-in-law that if I had the chance, I would lend a hand to the Bai Family."
Hearing this, Wang Bo looked at Jiang Xin.
"Miss, I think Young Master Zhou can be trusted. Right now, we are being watched by many and it is inconvenient to take action. Perhaps we should ask Young Master Zhou to go..."
Wang Bo didn’t finish his sentence, but Jiang Xin clearly understood his meaning.
She fell silent for a moment, then said,
"The old master and his entourage are now like frightened birds, I can’t guarantee they will agree to let him get involved in this matter..."
Hearing the dialogue between the two, Zhou Yu was taken aback.
"You... know the whereabouts of the old master and his party?"
"The old master has a very good relationship with my father. After they fled to Haizhou, they contacted my father."
"Our visit to Haizhou this time is partly to look for clues about the assassination of the martial hall minister of Shanghai City, and partly to see if we can find a way to rescue the Bai Family."
"Currently, due to the uncertain attitudes of Haizhou’s Governor Zhang Zheng and the martial hall, coupled with being under surveillance by many, we thus dare not make any rash moves."
"If you want to find them, I can help you make contact, but whether it works out has to depend on their own decision."
After hearing this, Zhou Yu thought for a moment and said,
"Then help me contact them."
Jiang Xin didn’t say much. She looked at Wang Bo.
Wang Bo immediately nodded his head and then took out a satellite phone and dialed out.
A moment later, the call connected, and a hoarse voice came through from the other end.
Wang Bo nodded and said,
"There’s a young man who says he can help you. I’m calling to inquire about what you think."
The other end of the phone fell into silence.
After a moment, the voice spoke again,
"Uncle Wang, please hand him the phone."
Wang Bo nodded, handing the satellite phone to Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu took the phone.
"I’m Zhou Yu, may I know who this is?"
Zhou Yu didn’t beat around the bush, saying directly,
"If you are in a dire situation, I can come and rescue you, and then take you to Yancheng."
Bai Yulou was silent for a moment, then said,
"That’s possible, but I still need to confirm your identity."
"After we met last time, things ended unpleasantly, and someone ended up losing their life over it."
"I want to know, how did he die?"
Zhou Yu said indifferently,
"His heart meridian was shattered."
The man named Zhou Hongsheng, was personally handled by Zhou Yu.
Of course, only Bai Yulou, Elder Wu, and he himself knew of this affair.
At this, Bai Yulou had no more doubts.
"We are currently in Fengtai County, at the South Wutai mountain."
Zhou Yu asked, confused.
Wang Bo quickly said,
"That’s a small county near the Haizhou Provincial City, about 100 kilometers from here."
Bai Yulou then continued,
"The exact address is..."
He was just about to speak, but Zhou Yu interrupted him.
"No need, just knowing the rough location is enough. I will get there as fast as I can and find you."
Zhou Yu, now in possession of a Saint Realm Primordial Spirit, had an extraordinary range and strength of Divine Sense, so knowing roughly where they were was as good as knowing their exact location.
Zhou Yu didn’t let Bai Yulou give the precise location, thinking of their safety, given that they were being monitored and information could easily leak.
"Alright, I’ll wait for you here," Bai Yulou said after taking a deep breath.
After hanging up, Zhou Yu turned to Wang Bo and Jiang Xin.
"I will handle the matter with the Bai Family as soon as possible."
"Good," Wang Bo and Jiang Xin replied, not staying any longer. They immediately returned to the hotel to report the situation to Jiang Xin’s father.
Zhou Yu made a call to Chen Feihu, asking him to drive over to pick him up.
Then, he called He Xu, ordering her to stay safe over the next few days and to make sure that the He Family’s experts stayed close for protection.
Soon, Chen Feihu’s car arrived.
Zhou Yu got in, and the two hurried toward Fengtai County.
