Just as Lu Yu had previously thought, the events of that year are truly like a bottomless whirlpool, seemingly unremarkable on the surface but hiding a world of secrets.

The more he sought the truth of that year, the more elusive the matter became!

"Forget it, when the time comes, everything will fall into place!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head, exhaled a deep breath, and said, "The events of that year have already happened, and besides continuing to pursue the investigation, I have no other way. No matter what, I want those enemies to pay their blood debts!"

In his words, Lu Yu's voice was low, carrying a hint of determination.

Even though the matter is becoming increasingly confusing, I must continue to investigate!

After all, the blood feud of his parents has not yet been avenged. Sooner or later, he would demolish those enemies from that year, leaving them desolate and paying a heavy price!

At this thought, Lu Yu's gaze shifted slightly, as he looked at the lifeless Gu Yanzhou in front of him, a hint of coldness at the corner of his mouth.

"Gu Yunfeng and Gu Yunqi have both died by my hand, and now adding Gu Yanzhou, the Gu Family should be badly wounded!"

He spoke softly, his words carrying a cold tone.

Both sons of Patriarch Gu, Gu Shengzhe, have been killed by me, and now an expert like Gu Yanzhou has also died by my hand.

Furthermore, I previously used Gu Yunqi's death to incite conflict between the Gu Family and the Jin Family, so now the Gu Family is truly beset by internal and external troubles!

If I were to make a move against the Gu Family now, I could easily wipe them out!

Although making a move now could easily eliminate the Gu Family, Lu Yu did not intend to do so.

Because the Gu Family is not his only enemy!

Apart from the Gu Family, there is also the Jin Family, and many more unknown families!

The other families have not been deeply investigated yet, and Lu Yu temporarily cannot judge the situation.

But so far, besides the Gu Family, there is also the existence of the Jin Family!

The Jin Family's strength is also quite terrifying, as evidenced by the several attacks on me earlier. Plus, the old master of the Jin Family, Jin Qingyun, is crafty and experienced, so Lu Yu cannot hastily move against the Gu Family and let the Jin Family take advantage!

"Since the Gu Family and the Jin Family are still fighting, I'll just watch them fight for now!"

Thinking of this, Lu Yu's mouth curved into a sinister smile: "Anyway, I can easily destroy the Gu Family now, so I'll let them play their remaining role, deplete Jin Qingyun's strength, and when they're both worn out, I'll strike suddenly and reap the benefits."

His words carried a hint of a sinister smile in his eyes: "For now, I will start investigating the Dongdao Group, and also take measures following the recent failed kidnapping of Leng Qingqiu by Paradise Island's people…"

"There are still many things I need to prepare!"

In his words, Lu Yu's voice carried a hint of melancholy as he slowly walked towards his residence.

Now, everything is becoming increasingly complex, various forces and organizations are beginning to stir, with an impending storm looming, so Lu Yu must respond calmly to everything, not acting recklessly or impulsively!

...

Meanwhile, in Yunzhong City, at the Gu Family.

Gu Shengzhe was sitting in his study, in front of him was a computer showing the profit and loss of the various industries belonging to the Gu Family on the screen.

His brows were furrowed tightly, appearing quite severe.

After a round of business battles with the Jin Family, the Gu Family's business had lost about four percent in just a few days, and this situation filled Gu Shengzhe with an unprecedented sense of crisis!

The deaths of Gu Yunfeng and Gu Yunqi seemed like the beginning of the Gu Family's decline. Now, looking at the feedback on the computer screen, it made him extremely angry and helpless.

"Father."

Just as Gu Shengzhe was frowning tightly, Gu Yunfei slowly walked in from outside and, upon seeing Gu Shengzhe, said, "There is also news from the Jin Family."

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengzhe's heart skipped a beat, and he immediately asked, "What is the situation on the Jin Family's side now?"

Since they were in a commercial battle, the Gu Family naturally needed to know the Jin Family's information to understand their opponent and engage with confidence!

"Father, the Jin Family is comparable in strength to us; in this competition, they haven't gained any advantage either."

Hearing Gu Shengzhe's words, Gu Yunfei said, "Within a few days, the Jin Family's losses are about five percent, and we are slightly better off in business!"

Speaking softly, Gu Yunfei's words were full of respect.

"Slightly better off, that's good."

Upon hearing this, Gu Shengzhe nodded and said, "In this state, we can still fight the Jin Family a bit longer, and when your Uncle Zhou captures Lu Yu, our Gu Family can reverse the situation, completely suppressing the Jin Family and several other families underfoot!"

In his words, Gu Shengzhe's eyes gleamed with expectation!

Now, he was placing all his bets on Lu Yu. As long as Gu Yanzhou could capture Lu Yu and extract his blood for research, the rise of the Gu Family would just be a matter of time!

"But…"

Seeing Gu Shengzhe's hopeful expression, Gu Yunfei hesitantly said, "Father, can Uncle Zhou really capture Lu Yu?"

Gu Yunfei was worried, after all, if Gu Yanzhou failed or died, the Gu Family's power would be greatly diminished!

"Don't worry."

Upon hearing Gu Yunfei's words, Gu Shengzhe picked up the purple clay teapot next to him, intending to take a sip of water to moisten his throat: "Your Uncle Zhou's strength is much greater than mine, with him making a move this time, it's foolproof!"

As he said this, Gu Shengzhe was just about to drink water, but at that moment, the purple clay teapot in his hand unexpectedly cracked, causing the tea to pour out from the crack, spilling everywhere!

"Father, this…"

Seeing this scene, Gu Yunfei's heart skipped a beat. With his experience in the business world, he naturally understood that a teapot cracking at this moment was not a good omen!

"It's nothing, just used for too long, get someone to replace it!"

Looking at the cracked teapot in front of him, Gu Shengzhe said, speaking with such calmness.

"Yes!"

Hearing this, Gu Yunfei agreed and slowly retreated out.

Watching Gu Yunfei leave, Gu Shengzhe's eyes were fixed on the cracked teapot, revealing a deep, thoughtful look.
