Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After hearing the busy tone coming from the other end of the line, Lu Yu couldn’t help but smile.

This guy Zhou Zhongzheng was now increasingly more wary, but this was not a bad thing.

Being more wary would help reduce the likelihood of Zhou Zhongzheng getting found out and would allow him to better dig for information for Lu Yu.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu picked up his phone and typed out an address before sending it over to Zhou Zhongzheng.

After a while, a vibrating notification came from Lu Yu’s phone, and he received a message which contained only a few short words.

“Message received. See you tonight at 9.”

After reading the entire text message, Lu Yu straightaway selected the text message for deletion and deleted all the call records of himself and Zhou Zhongzheng.

Upon completing all this, Lu Yu put away the phone and he took a long, deep breath.

As soon as he lifted his head, he was in time to catch sight of Giovanna coming in with a plate of cut fruit.

Looking at Lu Yu’s somewhat peculiar expression, Giovanna hurriedly asked with concern, “What is it? Did something happen?”

Faced with Giovanna’s inquiry,          simply smiled and said calmly, “No. What

can possibly happen? Even if something did happen, with your husband’s ability, it would be a piece of cake to settle!”

When Giovanna heard him, she couldn’t resist rolling her eyes at Lu Yu.

“What a shameless old man. It’s good that you’re okay. I just cut up some spirit jade fruits. Here, have some. I’m going out.”

As Giovanna spoke, she put the plate in her hand on Lu Yu’s desk and turned around and walked out of the study.

Thud…

Upon hearing the door to the study close, Lu Yu then heaved a sigh of relief.

It seemed that he was still too worried and did not hide his emotions well. Giovanna nearly found out that he was out of sorts.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu glanced at the plate of spirit jade fruit slices on the desk and inwardly made up his mind.

No matter what happened, he would never allow tragedy to repeat!

After making up his mind, Lu Yu used a fork to pick up a piece of spirit jade fruit and stuffed it into his mouth. He then continued to read through the second volume of the ‘Sky Valley Culinary Method.’

The time passed very quickly and soon it was night time. After having dinner with Giovanna and his son and daughter, Lu Yu changed into an all-black suit.

“Old partner, I have some things that I need to go out to deal with. You guys stay put at home and don’t go out.”

Lu Yu said to Giovanna as he pulled open the door and prepared to go out. ‘You are still going out at such a late hour? You must take care of your safety.”

Seeing Lu Yu opening the door to go out, Giovanna hurriedly reminded him with concern.

“Haha! Don’t worry. What can possibly happen at night?”

Lu Yu gave Giovanna a look of reassurance before turning around. After he exited, he closed the main door.

Looking at Lu Yu’s departing back profile and the tightly closed door of the room, a hint of worry still flashed across Giovanna’s eyes.

After leaving home, Lu Yu soon arrived at the place where he and Zhou Zhongzheng had agreed to meet, which was the Sky Ocean Hotel.

Lu Yu walked into the hotel after deploying his disguise skill. He booked a superior room at the front desk and then messaged Zhou Zhongzheng the room number.

Not long after sending the text message, there was a knock on Lu Yu’s room door.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Hearing the knocking on the room door, Lu Yu walked to the door and peered through the peep hole to ascertain the identity of the visitor before opening the room door.

“Come in. You are a little late today.”

Zhou Zhongzheng, who was fully clad in black, walked into the room, removed the disguise on his body and said in a somewhat annoyed manner, “It’s already quite an achievement for me to be able to slip out. This is the information on the Nie family that you asked for.”

“You better be more cautious these few days. I have received news that the Ying family is beginning to suspect that someone in their ranks had betrayed them!”

“Therefore, for the next few days, it’s best that you don’t contact me. Otherwise, if I’m found out, it’s not just you, but even I will suffer the consequences. ”

As Zhou Zhongzheng spoke, he handed over the document folder in his hand to

Immediately after that, he opened the door and walked out of the hotel without even looking back, leaving the hotel for good.

Standing in front of the window looking at Zhou Zhongzheng’s departing back profile, Lu Yu opened the document folder in his hand and flipped through the information Zhou Zhongzheng had gathered about the Nie family.

As he browsed, the corners of Lu Yu’s mouth curved up slightly, and an icy glint flashed across his eyes.

“The Nie family and the Hu family are really quite interesting. Now that I have this information in hand, it’s a lot easier to deal with them.”

As Lu Yu said this, he began condensing a ball of fiery flames in his hand.

Thereafter, he burned the information he had digested into a pile of ashes.

After that, Lu Yu put on a new disguise and walked out of the hotel.

The moment Lu Yu stepped out of the hotel, a dark figure appeared from an obscure corner not far away.

The figure watched Lu Yu’s back profile disappearing around the corner before retrieving a phone carefully from the folds of his clothes. After typing out a text message, he sent it out.

After sending out the message, the dark figure immediately headed in the direction Lu Yu went in hot pursuit.

However, after the figure rushed off in pursuit, Lu Yu walked out unhurriedly from the corner he had been hiding in earlier.

As he watched the back profile of the dark figure dashing off, Lu Yu muttered to himself, “So it’s Sima Yu’s men. It seems like Yao Xianming’s negotiation with the Hu family has fallen through.”

Lu Yu was not conceited enough to think that Yao Xianming would completely shield Lu Yu from the Hu family for his sake.

In this post-apocalyptic world where a new order had been re-established, Lu Yu believed in himself more than in others.

“Let this storm rage even more violently. I must still settle the score with the Hu family and the Nie family!”

Lu Yu’s figure flashed past and he sprinted back swiftly in the direction of his home.

As soon as he entered his villa, he saw Giovanna sitting on the sofa looking a bit ill at ease.

After seeing Lu Yu returning safely, Giovanna then slowly breathed a sigh of relief and her worried heart which had been held in suspense finally settled down.

Lu Yu, on the other hand, could see at a glance that Giovanna had been sitting there waiting for him ever since he stepped out.

“It’s already so late. Why are you still up?”

“I was worried about you. I was so scared that something would happen to you!”

As Giovanna spoke, she got up and helped her husband remove his coat. She then hung it on the clothes rack behind the door.

When Lu Yu heard her, he immediately wrapped his arms around Giovanna and murmured gently in Giovanna’s ear, “I’ve already told you there’s no need to worry about me. With my current ability, no one can hurt me.”

As soon as Lu Yu said that, Giovanna turned around and wrapped her arms around Lu Yu’s neck. Then, staring fixedly into Lu Yu’s two eyes, she spoke, elucidating each word clearly, “Lu Yu, I don’t care how strong you are now. I just want our family to live in peace and quiet.”

“I don’t wish to see the day when my kids and I suddenly receive news of your death!”

When she said this, Giovanna’s eyes became misty wet, and she leaned her body into Lu Yu’s arms.

“I know.. I promise you that such a day will never come!”
