Hearing Lu Yu's words, Meng Yue was suddenly shocked, and a trace of astonishment flashed through her beautiful eyes. She couldn't help but blurt out, "How do you know?"

"Beauty, although my reputation isn't too great, my parents' reputation is definitely not undeserved," Lu Yu replied, "I noticed that your spirit and complexion both seemed off, combined with your reactions these past few days, so I guessed you might have this kind of problem."

Lu Yu's parents were once well-known pharmaceutical researchers, and this was something known to everyone in LA City. Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Meng Yue's heart was stirred, and she asked, "Do you have any good methods to treat insomnia?"

As the captain of the LA City criminal police unit, staying up late and working overtime was routine for Meng Yue. This symptom had been occurring for several months. She had seen doctors and taken medicine, but the situation hadn't improved. Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, she asked eagerly.

"Of course I do."

Upon hearing Meng Yue's words, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "Your issue is due to stagnation of heart fire, coupled with an irregular lifestyle, so medicine won't work. You just need to relax your whole body and rest well to improve this situation. After work, I'll find you and teach you a few moves. You'll be able to sleep well tonight, barring any surprises."

"Does it really work?"

At this moment, looking at the confident Lu Yu in front of her, Meng Yue asked skeptically.

"It must work; I use this method often, and it's very effective. If you don't sleep well tonight after learning it, feel free to come and settle the score with me," Lu Yu replied with a relaxed smile in his words.

"Alright, if that's the case, I'll come find you tonight," Meng Yue said after hesitating for a moment, looking at the confident Lu Yu.

"Can I leave now?" Seeing Meng Yue nod, Lu Yu asked with a smile.

"You can leave now. If you remember any details, make sure to notify us."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Meng Yue cleared her throat and spoke seriously, her tone quite solemn.

"Alright, beauty, I'll wait for you tonight," Lu Yu said with a laugh, glancing at Meng Yue. Then he got up slowly, hailed a cab, and went straight back to his residence.

In his room, sitting on the sofa, Lu Yu recalled everything that had happened in the warehouse earlier. A hint of coldness flashed in his eyes, and his once carefree smile gradually turned somber.

What happened earlier was definitely not a random incident. First, someone kidnapped him to ask about his parents, and after he captured a few thugs, someone killed to silence them. This series of actions indicated one thing: from the moment he returned, someone had their eyes on him!

Thinking about the questions the thugs asked him, Lu Yu's mind moved slightly. He rummaged through his luggage and found an instrument resembling a watch.

He slowly put it on his wrist. Instantly, the instrument vibrated slightly and displayed a clear line of text: 15%, First Stage.

This instrument was given to him by his parents along with that mysterious liquid on his birthday. Before drinking the liquid, the instrument only showed the normal time. But once Lu Yu drank the liquid and wore the instrument, it displayed such a value.

Initially, after drinking the mysterious liquid, the instrument showed a value of only 5%. However, after five years of fighting and surviving, the value had surged to 15%.

What the 15% and the First Stage specifically represented, Lu Yu didn't know. He only knew that with every 1% increase in this instrument's value, his body's functions, including muscle strength, speed, and nerve response, became stronger.

Although Lu Yu could easily kill some large wild animals now, this level, if divided on a percentage scale, would only be considered a relatively low value.

Deep down, Lu Yu didn't understand what the mysterious liquid he drank was. But it couldn't be denied that he did become very powerful after drinking it!

Even just 15% allowed Lu Yu to easily kill some large beasts. If he reached 100%, what would he be capable of?

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement.

Although he was now free from the brutal and harsh environment of the deserted island, today's incident was enough to show that everything was just beginning.

And as a man, who wouldn't want to become stronger?

Whoosh!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu exhaled slowly and said to himself, "Forget it, if enemies come, I'll deal with them. Since they've already set their sights on me, they'll definitely come again. Waiting it out like this, the truth will eventually come to light!"

After saying this, Lu Yu slowly stood up, placed two fingers on the ground, and with a gentle push of his body, he instantly stood on his head. There wasn't a single wobble, appearing visually striking.

LA City was unlike a deserted island, without lots of beasts to hunt. So now Lu Yu used methods like this to continue honing himself.

Lu Yu stood on his head on the floor, slowly immersing himself. At this moment, he stood in the living room, unmoving like a statue.

Bam, bam, bam!

After some time, suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hearing this, Lu Yu's eyes opened like a hawk's, and he swiftly stood up, packed everything at lightning speed, and his face resumed its carefree expression.

"Who is it?"

After making sure everything was tidied up, Lu Yu asked.

"It's me, Meng Yue!"

In an instant, a familiar voice came from outside the door.

Hearing this, Lu Yu was slightly taken aback. He turned his head, glanced out the window, and realized it was already evening. Unknowingly, he had been practicing for a long time.

"Okay, coming!"

In disbelief, Lu Yu quickly got up and opened the door.

As he opened the door, he couldn't help but be stunned.
