After a moment, Lu Yu drove his Bentley Mulsanne and took Leng Qingqiu directly back to the Leng Family Manor.

Because Leng Qingqiu had been attacked by the powerful sound waves of a noise grenade, her central nervous system hadn't recovered yet. So, after parking the car, Lu Yu simply carried Leng Qingqiu off the car in a princess carry and walked toward Leng Qingqiu's bedroom.

Being held in Lu Yu's arms, Leng Qingqiu felt quite uncomfortable. It must be known that, except for her parents, Lu Yu was the first person to hold her like this.

Although she felt uneasy, Leng Qingqiu was also quite helpless at the moment. Due to the stimulation of her central nervous system, she temporarily lost her sense of balance. Now, besides being carried into the room by Lu Yu, she had no other choice.

After Lu Yu carried Leng Qingqiu into her bedroom, he slowly stepped forward, gently placed her on the bed, and then said, "Alright, just lie here and rest quietly. The noise grenade doesn't harm the human body, and by tomorrow, you'll be back to normal."

As he spoke, Lu Yu spoke softly, his tone extremely calm.

Lu Yu was very knowledgeable about the effects of noise grenades.

Although a noise grenade can make someone instantly lose consciousness and cause a temporary loss of balance,

the effect doesn't great harm the human body. A good night's sleep is enough for the body to heal itself, so there's no need for him to treat Leng Qingqiu's current condition.

"I understand, thank you."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu nodded and replied softly, with a trace of shyness in her tone.

Now Leng Qingqiu was sure that today was the day she had felt shy the most since she was born!

"In that case, I should be going back."

Taking a glance around Leng Qingqiu's room, Lu Yu spoke softly, because, after all, this was Leng Qingqiu's room, and although he and Leng Qingqiu were betrothed, it was just nominally.

Besides, lingering in a girl's room as a man wasn't appropriate, so Lu Yu decided to leave directly.

"Okay."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu nodded, merely saying "okay," appearing quite indifferent.

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled faintly, turned around, and left Leng Qingqiu's room.

As Lu Yu was leaving Leng Qingqiu's room, she watched his departing figure, with a deep expression in her eyes.

Although Lu Yu had roughly explained his experiences on Paradise Island to her,

Leng Qingqiu still felt sure that Lu Yu hadn't told her everything.

Among them, Lu Yu must have hidden some unknown details.

For example, how exactly did Lu Yu escape from the organization on Paradise Island?

Though filled with questions, Leng Qingqiu didn't ask further. She was a smart woman who, through previous interactions, could confirm this time Lu Yu would only tell her this much. Even if she asked more, Lu Yu might not answer.

Moreover, Leng Qingqiu wasn't planning to pursue it further because she had a premonition that Lu Yu's experiences would reveal themselves one by one very soon!

...

After leaving the Leng Family Manor, as Lu Yu recalled his experiences on Paradise Island, he couldn't help but feel irritable.

After all, until now, he wasn't willing to recollect those dark and bloody past events.

In his frustration, Lu Yu drove directly to the wetland park in LA City. Entranced by the beautiful scenery of the wetland park, he stayed there until nightfall before driving back to his apartment building.

Entering the elevator, Lu Yu pressed the button for his floor. As the elevator doors slowly closed, he couldn't help but chuckle lightly, a nostalgic look in his eyes.

The things he told Leng Qingqiu during the day were indeed his real experiences, but Lu Yu had withheld the most crucial piece of information.

That is, how Lu Yu left Paradise Island two years ago!

Two years ago, escaping from Paradise Island was another turning point in his life, and it was only after his escape that his life underwent another transformation!

Joining the Assassin Alliance, blinding Sebastian's right eye with a single stroke in Beigang City…

All these events happened after Lu Yu left Paradise Island!

Ding!

As Lu Yu thought of this, a crisp sound in the elevator instantly interrupted his memories.

With this crisp sound, the elevator doors slowly opened, and his floor had arrived.

Seeing the scene before him, Lu Yu smiled faintly. He shook his head, stepped out of the elevator, walked to his residence's door, took out his keys, unlocked the door, and stepped inside.

Since it was already late at night, Lu Yu's home was pitch black, with streetlight casting a strange atmosphere through the window.

Seeing the dark room before him, Lu Yu was about to reach out to turn on the light.

At that moment, his body froze as if sensing something, and he spoke coldly, "Someone sitting silently in my room at this hour is probably not here for a friendly visit, right?"

As he spoke, a chilling light flashed in Lu Yu's eyes. He clenched his fists, a sense of vigilance rising within him!

"Heh heh heh."

As Lu Yu spoke, a deep laugh followed by a thick voice drifted in majestically, "You're worthy of being the Eldest Young Master of the Lu Family, sensing my presence in an instant. I, Gu Yanzhou, am impressed!"

With those words, the speaker made no effort to conceal his identity, directly revealing his name!

As these words were spoken, Gu Yanzhou, dressed in black, slowly rose and said to Lu Yu. His face was icy cold in the dim light from the window, exuding an air of murderous intent!

This aura was like a restless sword hidden in a sheath, ready to strike at any moment.

"Gu Yanzhou?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu narrowed his eyes and spoke coldly, "The Gu Family again!?"

As he spoke, a trace of chill was revealed in Lu Yu's words. He clenched his fists, secretly gathering strength.

Based on the murderous intent in Gu Yanzhou's remarks alone, Lu Yu could judge that this opponent was exceptionally formidable!

This Gu Yanzhou was definitely much more powerful than any opponent he had faced before!

"Indeed!"

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Gu Yanzhou spoke slowly, "This time, I have come under the orders of our master, Gu Shengzhe, to invite you, Eldest Young Master Lu, to our Gu Family for a chat!"

As he spoke, a sharp glint flashed in Gu Yanzhou's eyes, and he coldly stared at Lu Yu, revealing a thread of murderous intent!

"What if I refuse?"

Upon hearing Gu Yanzhou's words, Lu Yu squinted his eyes and asked coldly.

"Refuse?"

At these words, Gu Yanzhou sneered and said, "That's out of your hands!"

With those words, Gu Yanzhou's body abruptly moved, and with a fast flicker, he charged straight at Lu Yu!
