After leaving the banquet hall, Lu Yu pulled Leng Qingqiu directly back to the car. At this mont, Leng Qingqiu sat in the passenger seat, looking at Lu Yu beside her. After a mont of reflection, she said, "Lu Yu, you didn't need to do that just now."
Looking at Lu Yu in the driver's seat, Leng Qingqiu spoke lightly, with a faint glow flickering in her eyes. Her face, already stunningly beautiful, appeared even more captivating in that mont.
"Really?"
Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu started the car and replied, his speech full of deep aning, "Should I have let him continue speaking?"
Within his words, Lu Yu's voice was low, revealing a trace of maturity and ease, giving an inexplicable sense of reliability.
"The business world is like a battlefield, there are many scoundrels in the realm of comrce, I've seen too many. Zhou Jiming, that kind of rogue, is best ignored directly."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu spoke lightly, "You standing up for just now will make Zhou Jiming hold a grudge against you, and he'll retaliate."
Leng Qingqiu had been in charge of the Victory Group for quite so years now; she's no longer the naive girl just entering the business world. Leng Qingqiu had already transford into a decisive and assertive female CEO.
With her current experience, she was accustod to the scoundrel tactics in the business world, and Zhou Jiming's words earlier naturally fit within that scope.
"Little girl."
Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu shook his head. After starting the Rolls-Royce Phantom, he looked at the Leng Qingqiu in front of him and spoke, "I don't know how you handle situations like that in the business world, but I only know one thing."
As he spoke, Lu Yu turned his head, his eyes fixed on Leng Qingqiu beside him, speaking quite seriously, "At least according to the contract, you are my fiancée, and no man can tolerate his fiancée being called a nuisance by another man!"
In his speech, Lu Yu's words carried a trace of steadiness, no longer having the frivolous vibe of five years ago, "Moreover, you were the one who stood up and helped earlier. If I sit by idly then, can I still call myself a man?"
"Though you're right."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu spoke softly, "But..."
"Alright, no more buts."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu spoke with a smile, "The matter has already passed. You don't need to worry about that much, and even if Zhou Jiming holds a grudge against and seeks revenge, do you think I care?"
Within his words, Lu Yu appeared extrely calm, as if it didn't matter at all.
At heart, whether five years ago or now, Lu Yu was never soone who backs down, even if he's powerless, he would still speak up to defend Leng Qingqiu.
After all, as a man, you can lose, but you must never be a coward!
What's more, Lu Yu and the Zhou Family already had a deep-seated vendetta, ford five years ago, so Lu Yu couldn't care less if Zhou Jiming hates him. After all, Lu Yu deeply hates the Zhou Family and those who hard the Lu Family back then!
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu nodded, then she looked at Lu Yu in front of her and spoke earnestly, "Lu Yu, thank you."
This statent was from the bottom of Leng Qingqiu's heart.
Since childhood, Leng Qingqiu had been an extrely outstanding girl, coupled with her natural beauty and a wealthy family, she didn't have many friends growing up.
Even though she was surrounded by pursuers since childhood, the majority were drawn by her beauty and family wealth, and those truly sincere to her were few and far between.
This also resulted in Leng Qingqiu being cold and aloof, keeping people at a distance since childhood.
But just now, when Lu Yu spoke up for her, she felt for the first ti a sense of protection, a warm feeling that made her feel very comfortable inside.
"Alright, let's not talk about thanks or not."
Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "It's only natural for a man to protect a woman, especially when I am nominally your fiancé."
Within his words, Lu Yu's voice was calm, but conveyed a sense of reliability.
"Hmm."
Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu nodded quietly, responding with a sound without saying much more.
"Alright, it's getting late now, let take you back."
At the mont, seeing Leng Qingqiu in this manner, Lu Yu spoke with threads of calmness within his words.
"Okay."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu spoke lightly.
Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly, then pressed the accelerator, driving directly towards the Leng Family Manor.
...
After sending Leng Qingqiu back to the Leng Family Manor, Lu Yu wandered the brightly lit streets of LA City. Now, his face had shed its usual playful expression, replaced by a look of tranquility and indifference.
"It seems that the Zhou Family truly can't sit still!"
Looking at the crowded street ahead, Lu Yu slowly spoke, his tone rather indifferent, "Just as I suspected, Zhou Jiming ca undoubtedly to investigate the cause of death of Zhou Huchen and Zhou Xingyun..."
Within his speech, Lu Yu pondered quietly in his heart, sharp flashes in his eyes, appearing exceptionally wise.
If sothing is abnormal, there's bound to be a hidden motive; Zhou Jiming's series of behaviors at the banquet clearly showed his intention to use the occasion to investigate sothing. Otherwise, Zhou Jiming wouldn't have tested without reason!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu slowly raised his head, gazing at the dark night sky. After pondering for a mont, he slowly exhaled and spoke, "Since the Zhou Family is already stirring, then the Jin Family cannot be spared."
The strength of the Zhou Family's Martial Arts Hall far exceeds that of the Jin Family and Gu Family, so now that the Zhou Family is stirring, the Jin Family cannot be spared.
This matter must be settled before the Zhou Family takes action; otherwise, once the Zhou Family and Jin Family join forces, it will beco much more troubleso!
"Jin Family..."
Thinking of this, Lu Yu's eyes shone with sharpness, bursting with a piercing sense of murder, "They absolutely cannot be spared any longer!"
Thinking of this, Lu Yu directly took out his phone, found Marcus's number, pondered for a mont, and then pressed the call button.
"Sir!"
Monts later, the call connected, and Marcus's voice ca through.
"Marcus."
Upon hearing Marcus's voice, Lu Yu spoke with a low tone, "There is sothing I need you to help with..."
