Late at night, in Yunzhong City, within a rather luxurious manor.
This manor occupies a vast area, appearing extrely spacious at a glance, and the buildings within are exceedingly opulent, clearly not a typical wealthy family estate.
In Yunzhong City, where land is incredibly expensive, even an ordinary residence can be priced sky-high. Besides the Gu Family, no other family could possess such a luxurious manor!
At this mont, in the garden of the Gu Family Manor, a profound middle-aged man sat on a rocking chair, holding an ancient-looking book in his hands, reading it attentively.
This man was none other than the patriarch of the Gu Family and Gu Yunfeng's father, Gu Shengzhe!
"Master, Young Master Yunfeng has returned from Lin'an."
At this mont, a man dressed in black attire slowly approached Gu Shengzhe, speaking with a bowed posture, exhibiting great respect.
"Oh? Yunfeng is back?"
Hearing the man's words, a trace of a smile appeared in Gu Shengzhe's eyes: "Didn't I just have him expand the Gu Family's business in Lin'an for a few days? This kid hurried back already, could it be he encountered so trouble over there?"
With these words, there was a hint of amusent in Gu Shengzhe's tone, giving off a gentle and refined impression.
"He seems to have encountered so trouble."
Upon hearing Gu Shengzhe's words, the man spoke softly: "Young Master Yunfeng's bodyguard, Uncle Yan, has his right hand wrapped in bandages, it appears to be a serious injury!"
The mont the man spoke, Gu Shengzhe's eyes slightly twitched, then a faint and nearly imperceptible gleam flashed: "Oh? Ah Yan got injured?"
With these words, Gu Shengzhe's voice rose a bit, and there was a hint of playfulness, as he was well aware of Uncle Yan's skills, having followed him for over a decade. His sudden injury clearly indicated trouble!
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Gu Shengzhe's words, the man responded: "Uncle Yan's hand is bandaged and suspended in front of his chest, it seems soone shook the bones in his hand!"
Shaken the bones in his hand!?
Upon hearing this, Gu Shengzhe imdiately closed his book, his gaze shifted towards the man in front of him, and he asked: "You've been with not long, what do you think about Uncle Yan's injury this ti?"
His tone was exceptionally slow, but his eyes glimred, clearly pondering sothing.
"Master"
Upon being questioned by Gu Shengzhe, the man slightly bowed, then said: "Recently, the Jin Family has been frequently sending people to LA City, but none have returned. The timing of Uncle Yan's injury closely matches the Jin Family's last visit to LA City, so I suspect..."
"So you suspect that Uncle Yan's injury is related to the Jin Family's frequent visits to LA City?"
Upon hearing the man's words, Gu Shengzhe responded lightly, with a playful smile on his face, appearing calm but full of subtle intent.
"Yes!"
The man replied with utmost respect.
"Indeed"
Upon the man's admission, Gu Shengzhe nodded, then said: "You're thinking along the sa lines as ."
"The fact that the Jin Family has made several unsuccessful trips to LA City indicates that there's sothing there attracting them. If this is the case, I should investigate thoroughly!"
With that, Gu Shengzhe slightly shifted, stood up, glanced at the man before him, exhaled softly, and said: "In that case, I should go see Yunfeng to understand what exactly he encountered in LA City!"
Having said this, Gu Shengzhe turned and walked towards the living room.
...
anwhile, in the Gu Family living room, Gu Yunfeng sat formally on the sofa in a neatly tailored suit, looking vastly different from his previously shaless and arrogant deanor at the underground boxing ring.
Beside him was Uncle Yan, who had his right hand injured by a single punch from Lu Yu. Uncle Yan's hand had been given ergent treatnt, hanging awkwardly on his chest.
At this mont, Gu Yunfeng and Uncle Yan sat in silence, making the originally quiet living room feel even more oppressive.
"Yunfeng"
Just then, Gu Shengzhe strolled into the living room and, upon seeing Gu Yunfeng, said: "Didn't I assign you to handle the underground boxing arena in LA City? Why have you returned, isn't the arena business in need of attention?"
In his words, there was a hint of reproach!
"Father!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Yunfeng quickly stood up, displaying utmost propriety.
"Master"
Upon seeing Gu Shengzhe, Uncle Yan promptly paid his respects.
"Alright, let's sit and talk about whatever is going on."
Gu Shengzhe glanced briefly at Uncle Yan's hand and then said: "What's the matter this ti?"
His words were calm, but his gaze was fixed keenly on his son, full of inquiry.
"Father"
Hearing Gu Shengzhe's words, Gu Yunfeng replied: "Our underground boxing ring in LA City was smashed..."
"Smashed?"
Upon hearing Gu Yunfeng's words, Gu Shengzhe's brow furrowed slightly, then he said: "Yunfeng, you're over twenty years old now, can't you handle such a minor issue?"
With these words, there was already a tinge of reproach. Although he had ford his own judgnt about the matter, he also wanted to use this opportunity to educate his son.
Hearing this, Gu Yunfeng's body shivered briefly, he quickly lowered his head, then said: "Father, if it were a normal disturbance, I could have handled it, but this ti the person was too formidable. Even Uncle Yan was injured by a single punch, I investigated his background from various sources and only ca to report to you after confirming the findings!"
"Oh?"
Hearing this, Gu Shengzhe's eyes revealed a trace of amusent; he tapped his fingers on the armrest, and said: "So, tell , who was this person?"
His tone was calm, but there was a hint of anticipation, eager to hear what na his son would reveal.
"It was Lu Yu from the Lu Family in LA City!"
Upon hearing his father's question, Gu Yunfeng spoke respectfully.
