In the deep night, An City was completely immersed in a curtain of rain, which had been brewing for an entire morning. This rain was exceptionally persistent, lasting from midday to late night without any sign of stopping.

In the midst of the rain, the radiant night scenery of An City appeared particularly vague and enchanting. It created an unusual, charming feeling, seeming incredibly ambiguous.

At this moment, in the underground parking lot of the Dongdao Group, Zhou Xingyun donned a tailored suit, his rather fair face revealing traces of worry.

His steps were hurried, and his expression quite anxious, as if someone were chasing him, making him appear extraordinarily fearful and uneasy.

In fact, ever since he heard Lu Yu's words on the phone last night, Zhou Xingyun's heart had been filled with terror. So much so that since last night until now, he had been on pins and needles, unable to eat or sleep peacefully!

The words from Lu Yu on the phone were chillingly exceptional, as if Death whispered in his ear, leaving him feeling waves of fear and unease throughout his entire body!

Especially last night on the phone, when Lu Yu suggested they 'meet and have a good chat', it truly felt like a thorn in his side, sending chills down his spine!

A man capable of taking down Zhou Huchen threatening him made Zhou Xingyun feel utterly anxious and uneasy to this point!

If it weren't for him being a director of the Dongdao Group, needing to oversee the company's major affairs in Zhou Huchen's absence, he wouldn't have stepped out of his residence at all!

Rushing to his car, Zhou Xingyun opened the car door speedily and got into the driver's seat. After confirming there was nothing unusual inside the car, he locked all the doors and slowly exhaled, looking incredibly relieved.

At this moment, this enclosed environment gave his anxious heart a faint sense of calmness!

"Just bear it a little longer, just a little longer, until the masters from the family arrive, then I won't need to be so cautious!"

Now inserting the key into the car, Zhou Xingyun spoke while he started the car, preparing to leave this parking lot. His residence was the only place where he felt safe now.

Thinking of this, as Zhou Xingyun was about to drive out of the parking lot, he instinctively glanced at the rear-view mirror.

Looking there wasn't a good choice, because upon seeing it, Zhou Xingyun was stunned to find a man with indistinct features sitting motionless in the rear seat of his car, appearing particularly eerie and horrifying!

Buzz!

Upon seeing the image in the rear-view mirror, Zhou Xingyun's scalp tingled, goosebumps covered his entire body, and his flesh trembled violently!

It was the deep night; the dim, cramped underground parking lot suddenly showed a man's silhouette in his rear seat. Such a scene truly frightened him into a full-body shiver, extremely terrified!

He had only seen such a scene in horror movies before!

Now, witnessing such a scene in front of him truly made him tremble all over, scared out of his mind!

"G-Ghost…ghost!"

After trembling for a moment, Zhou Xingyun's body shook, and he screamed at the top of his lungs.

At the same time, his hand clumsily unlocked the car door in an instant, intending to open the door and get out.

But now, just as Zhou Xingyun was about to open the door, the person behind suddenly lunged forward, grabbing Zhou Xingyun's hair and spoke: "Good evening, Young Master Zhou, we just talked on the phone last night, and now within less than twenty-four hours, we meet. I wonder what thoughts are running through your mind now?"

Saying this, the man slowly raised his head, and his features appeared in the rear-view mirror—it was Lu Yu!

Being grabbed by the hair by Lu Yu, Zhou Xingyun was as shaken as a sieve, looking utterly terrified.

Now he could clearly identify, through Lu Yu's words and familiar voice, that the man pulling his hair was indeed the man he spoke with last night!

"W-What do you want!?"

After gasping for a moment, Zhou Xingyun spoke: "I warn you, your actions are illegal!"

"Illegal!?"

Upon hearing Zhou Xingyun's words, Lu Yu's voice carried a cold smile. At this moment, he pulled Zhou Xingyun's hair with his fingers and said, "You think you can discuss law with me?!"

"If my actions are illegal, then how is it legal that you sent Zhou Huchen to catch me last night?"

Lu Yu's words carried a sharp chill, like an ice dagger, making everyone shiver upon hearing it!

"You…you are Lu Yu!?"

Zhou Xingyun gritted his teeth in pain as Lu Yu pulled his hair. Amidst the agony, upon hearing Lu Yu's words, he instantly realized the situation!

The one pulling his hair was indeed Lu Yu, the one Zhou Huchen casually mentioned could be easily dealt with over the phone yesterday!

Now, Zhou Xingyun never expected that the Lu Yu, easily dealt with as mentioned by Zhou Huchen yesterday, had not only taken care of Zhou Huchen but also found him!

"M-Mr. Lu, I admit that my actions last night were wrong. I apologize to you, and if you spare me, I can give you a large sum of money and pretend nothing happened tonight!"

In his words, Zhou Xingyun's voice was urgent, quickly begging for mercy, his tone full of fear.

Understand that a master capable of taking down Zhou Huchen could kill him as easily as killing a chicken!

"Young Master Zhou Xingyun!"

Upon hearing his words, Lu Yu smiled slightly, looking at Zhou Xingyun in terror and said: "I believe I made things very clear on the phone last night!"

"The issues between us cannot be resolved with money!"

With that, Lu Yu grabbed Zhou Xingyun's head and slammed it violently onto the steering wheel!

Thud!

With a dull thud, Lu Yu smashed Zhou Xingyun's head onto the steering wheel, producing a muffled sound.

Lu Yu's force was terribly fierce, and with one hit, he left Zhou Xingyun dazed, with blood streaming from his nose due to hitting the steering wheel, appearing extremely desolate!

"It's not convenient to talk here; let's get out and have a proper conversation!"

As soon as Zhou Xingyun's head was smashed onto the steering wheel, Lu Yu opened the car door and stepped out.

Simultaneously, he opened the driver's side door, dragging Zhou Xingyun out like a dead dog, smiling slightly as he said, "Now, we can have a good chat, Young Master Zhou Xingyun!"
