Hearing Bai Yaochen's words, Bai Haocang couldn't help but be stunned. He never expected that Lu Yu would turn against his Bai Family at this moment!

"Grandpa, what do we do now?"

At this moment, Bai Haocang spoke, his words full of inquiry.

Because after hearing Bai Yaochen's explanation, he quickly understood the situation. Right now, he didn't know what to do either.

"We have to take the blame for this!"

Hearing Bai Haocang's words, Bai Yaochen shook his head, showing a trace of helplessness on his old face: "If we want to develop, we must act against the Li Family and Sun Family, and we have to act fast. Otherwise, those remaining families might seize the opportunity!"

"When that time comes, all our efforts will be in vain, benefiting others instead!"

Now Bai Yaochen spoke, his old face with a hint of bitter smile. He had no way to deal with Lu Yu's actions!

"So, grandpa, are we really going to take the blame?"

Hearing Bai Yaochen's words, Bai Haocang was incredulous. Normally, Bai Yaochen would never compromise, yet he was yielding in this situation!

"What else can we do?"

At his grandson's words, Bai Yaochen's eyelids lifted as he spoke: "Do you think we have a choice?"

Buzz!

As soon as these words were spoken, Bai Haocang was stunned. Finally, he realized that whether or not they took the blame was not up to him!

Last night, he saw with his own eyes Lu Yu's terrifying skills. Not only that, Sun Yaowu and Sun Guangzhi were killed within twenty-four hours. With such power, how could the Bai Family have the right to refuse?

If the Bai Family dared not to take responsibility, Lu Yu's skills could easily wipe them out!

Thinking of the Tang Blade that cut through the trunk and came straight for his neck last night, Bai Haocang felt his heart sink. If Lu Yu wanted to kill him, merely a few centimeters of deviation would have ended him!

At this moment, Bai Haocang realized that this blame wasn't something the Bai Family could choose to take or not, but something they had to bear!

The Bai Family had no choice but to willingly take responsibility!

Seeing the expression on Bai Haocang's face, Bai Yaochen shook his head and spoke: "Understand? We have to take the blame! Because we can't afford to provoke Lu Yu!"

"Understood, grandpa!"

Hearing Bai Yaochen's words, Bai Haocang spoke, his words full of melancholy because he realized a fatal problem.

That is, the Bai Family cannot afford to provoke Lu Yu!

Even Li Zhenxuan, who lived nearly two hundred years, died at Lu Yu's hands, let alone their Bai Family!

"Good that you understand."

Upon hearing his grandson's words, Bai Yaochen nodded and said: "Now go back, apply some herbal wine, rest for the night, and tomorrow join me in annexing the Sun Family and Li Family's assets. You're still too inexperienced and need more training!"

With that, Bai Yaochen slowly turned and walked into the room.

"Yes, grandpa."

Upon hearing Bai Yaochen's words, Bai Haocang nodded, then slowly stood up and, helped by servants, headed out of the small garden.

…

After returning from the Capital around eight in the evening, Lu Yu headed home after bidding farewell to Marcus, pondering his next steps.

After all, the Sun Family, which had been harassing him, had been completely uprooted. When tonight passes, Bai Yaochen will eagerly begin attacking the Sun and Li Families. With the two patriarchs dead, countering them will be extremely simple!

However, Lu Yu wasn't in the mood to dwell on these matters since he had solved the problem. The Sun Family and Li Family were unlikely to trouble him again.

"Next, it's time to capture Luo Tong and interrogate the Jin Family matter!"

Lu Yu sighed lightly, revealing a solemn expression: "There are still two days until Marcus said Luo Tong would return. When he shows up, I'll immediately capture him and press for information about the Jin Family!"

Saying this, his eyes shimmered with a sharp glint, and shaking his head, he stepped toward his home…

Upon returning to his abode, as soon as he opened the door, Lu Yu saw Meng Yue sitting on the couch in his living room, looking resentful. Upon seeing him return, she spoke grumpily: "You still know to come back?!"

Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but be stunned, looking at the pretty Meng Yue, slightly puzzled, he asked: "What's wrong?"

"What's wrong?!"

Meng Yue responded angrily: "I haven't seen you for several days. Where have you been?"

"Me?"

Lu Yu, slightly taken aback, replied: "I've been busy with company matters these days. I've been dealing with these issues."

Lu Yu couldn't tell Meng Yue the truth and tried to brush it off vaguely.

Hearing this, Meng Yue's face showed slight disbelief, and she asked: "Do you have plans for tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow? Seems I don't have anything planned."

Lu Yu thought for a moment and then replied with a playful tone: "Why? Want to ask me out tomorrow?"

"Something like that."

Meng Yue paused for a moment before saying: "Come to the Oroma Restaurant for lunch tomorrow, I'll treat you!"

"Oroma Western Restaurant?"

Lu Yu was slightly surprised, then asked: "What did you do lately to feel guilty? Why are you planning to treat me for no reason?"

He was extremely curious, as Meng Yue usually seemed fierce. What had happened today to make her offer a meal?

Meng Yue rolled her eyes, asking: "Are you coming or not?"

"I'll come! I must come!"

Lu Yu quickly responded: "When a beauty invites, how could I refuse?"

Although unsure of Meng Yue's intentions, Lu Yu knew she wouldn't harm him, so he readily agreed.

"Good you agreed. Remember, if you're late tomorrow, you'll pay for it when you get back!"

Meng Yue warned, then stood, opened the door, and left.

Watching the brisk Meng Yue come and go, Lu Yu felt baffled, shrugging his shoulders, muttering softly: "Women…"
