641: Chapter 641: Luring the Trouble Eastward!
Yu Kaiping was startled.
“So, what’s up?”
Zhou Yu smiled and said,
“I need to understand the current situation of the Mi Family.”
“Uncle Yu, if you know anything, please help organize so information.”
“Zhou Yu, may I ask if you need this because you want to do sothing to the Mi Family?”
Zhou Yu didn’t hide anything and briefly explained Mi Lan’s situation.
Hearing that Zhou Yu planned to deal with the Mi Family, Yu Kaiping imdiately patted his chest.
“Leave this matter to .”
“Additionally!”
Yu Kaiping took a deep breath, hesitated for a mont, and then said,
“Zhou Yu, there’s also another matter for which I’d like to seek your help; I don’t know if it’s convenient for you?”
“Oh?
What’s the matter?”
“I want to ask you to treat soone for .”
“Who is it?” Zhou Yu asked curiously.
Yu Kaiping apologetically said,
“He is a very good friend of mine, but his identity is special, and I can’t tell you directly for now.
I need to ask for his permission first.”
“Zhou Yu, please don’t mind speaking like this; it’s impolite, I know.
I wouldn’t be so bold as to ask this if you hadn’t healed my son.”
Zhou Yu smiled, showing understanding.
“Just let know after you’ve contacted him.”
“Yes, yes, yes.”
…
anwhile, elsewhere.
After sneaking away from Yu Kaiping’s banquet, Mi Zongqiang headed straight for the Mi Family.
In the Mi Family’s council hall,
the current Family Head, Mi Youfu, and his younger brother, Mi Yourong.
Mi Youfu frowned and said,
“Zongqiang, weren’t you at the Yu Family’s banquet?
Why did you rush back here?
Did sothing happen over there?”
Mi Zongqiang replied in a hurry,
“Father, sothing did happen.
Our plan to use Gongsun Lu to annex Yu Kaiping’s assets is likely to fail…”
“Hmm?”
Mi Youfu’s expression darkened.
“What happened?”
“Haven’t you been in charge of this matter for years?
Hasn’t it been going smoothly?”
Mi Zongqiang hastily explained,
“Father, Uncle, it’s not my fault.
At Yu Kaiping’s banquet today, a man nad Zhou Yu suddenly appeared…”
Mi Zongqiang recounted the banquet, Qi Dingjiang, and Zhou Yu’s subsequent treatnt of Yu Chenglong.
After hearing everything, both Mi Youfu and Mi Yourong’s faces darkened.
“This Zhou Yu again?”
Mi Zongqiang was taken aback.
“Father, Uncle, do you know this person?”
Mi Youfu’s expression was grim,
“Your elder brother went to Qin State to bring Mi Lan back a few days ago, and it was this Zhou Yu who interfered and left your elder brother seriously injured.
He’s still in the hospital.”
“What??”
Mi Zongqiang was shocked.
“Who on earth is this kid?”
Mi Youfu said in a grave voice,
“Your elder brother had him investigated.”
“This kid is from Yancheng in Qin State, and there was no news of him before, but he suddenly appeared about half a year ago and rose quickly.
Now he’s like the midday sun in Qin State.”
Mi Zongqiang’s face was filled with anger,
“This kid’s strength is very strange; even Qi Dingjiang is no match for him.”
“Looking at it now, our family seems to have no way to deal with him!”
Mi Youfu sneered coldly.
“Qi Dingjiang is nothing but trash propped up by Spiritual dicine.
Defeating him is no big deal.”
“Besides, at this point, our family’s alliance with the He Family has been set in stone.”
“When the ti cos, we can fully utilize the He Family’s influence to deal with this brat and incidentally take over Yu Kaiping’s assets.”
Mi Zongqiang paused for a mont, then his face lit up with excitent.
“Father, that’s a brilliant strategy to ‘shoot two hawks with one arrow’.”
Just then, a servant from the Mi Family ran in.
“Clan Leader, soone from the He Family is here.”
“They are at the doorstep already.”
Mi Youfu was taken aback.
“Why would the He Family send soone over so late?”
Mi Youlu shook his head:
“I don’t know.”
“Let’s go, we should go out and welco them.”
Mi Youfu got up, and the people of the Mi Family followed him out.
Inside the Mi Family’s reception hall, a man and a woman accompanied by several bodyguards were already waiting.
Mi Youfu recognized the two people at a glance.
The man was the son of the current Family Head of the He Family, He Tianyu, nad He Liang, and the woman was the daughter of the forr Family Head, He Tianhua, nad He Xu.
The sight of these two coming together greatly shocked Mi Youfu.
A short while ago, He Xu’s father, He Tianhua, was suddenly stripped of his position as Family Head, replaced by He Liang’s father, He Tianyu.
This had caused quite a stir in Hǎizhōu, but the He Family had always appeared calm on the outside, so the matter had soon subsided.
Every transfer of power is fraught with difficulty, so Mi Youfu was convinced that the He Family would definitely run into chaos.
However, seeing He Xu and He Liang coming side by side today made him doubt his previous guess—had he been wrong?
Despite his doubts, Mi Youfu still maintained a joyful expression on his face.
“Young Master Liang and Miss Xu’s visit is truly an honor that graces our Mi Family.”
He Xu smiled sweetly.
At that mont, nearly everyone in the Mi Family lost their souls, even Mi Youfu himself was sowhat overwheld.
“Uncle Mi, I’m sorry for the disturbance so late at night.”
Mi Youfu took a subtle deep breath to calm his inner turmoil.
He wasn’t too concerned about He Liang; after all, he was just a second-generation successor.
But that He Xu was no ordinary person.
He Xu’s na was well known throughout Hǎizhōu for her cunning sches.
Currently, almost half of the He Family’s assets were under her control.
What’s more impressive was that she was incredibly beautiful but not just any beauty—she seed to possess a naturally seductive quality that captivated both young and old.
Mi Youfu said with a smile:
“It’s no trouble at all.
Now that our families have ford an alliance, we should indeed frequently interact.”
“However, I’m curious to know why you two have co at such a late hour.
Is there sothing you need?”
He Xu glanced at her brother He Liang, then smiled and said:
“Since the alliance is set, my brother couldn’t wait to et Miss Mi Lan.”
“Where is she?”
Upon hearing this, the faces of the Mi Family mbers turned sowhat awkward.
Mi Youfu apologized:
“I’m sorry, Miss Xu, there’s been a little problem with Mi Lan.”
“Hmm?”
He Liang’s expression darkened.
“What kind of problem?”
Mi Youfu sighed:
“Miss Mi Lan is a token of betrothal for Young Master Liang.
However, an unknown young man suddenly took her away.
I specifically sent my son Mi Zongwei to bring her back, and he inford that young man that Miss Mi Lan had already been promised to you, Young Master Liang.”
“But, that young man was incredibly arrogant.
He questioned what status the He Family had to compete with him for a woman.
Not only did he disregard the He Family, but he also left my son seriously injured, and he is now in the hospital.”
As they listened to Mi Youfu’s words, the Mi Family mbers felt a sense of admiration in their hearts.
True to his title as the Family Head.
In a few words, he had diverted the disaster elsewhere.
Sure enough, He Liang’s rage imdiately flared.
“Damn it, where is that bastard who dares to cross paths with my He Family?
He’s asking for death.”
