Looking at Zhou Xingyun who had fallen lifeless in front of him, Lu Yu's eyes were heavy, the sinister look gradually faded, replaced by a deep and silent expression.

Every word Zhou Xingyun had said just now was etched in his mind. At the same time, a trace of seriousness appeared in his gaze.

Through Zhou Xingyun's words earlier, Lu Yu began to realize a serious issue, one where the strength of the Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall had greatly exceeded his expectations!

Zhou Huchen's prowess, by today's standards, is undoubtedly formidable, a true master beyond dispute. If he hadn't advanced his skills by twenty-five percent beforehand, increasing his power significantly, he definitely wouldn't be a match for Zhou Huchen!

And yet, such a master like Zhou Huchen was merely one of the resident masters of the eighteen martial halls of the Zhou Family, with strength rated just above average within the Martial Arts Hall!

Such information left Lu Yu utterly shocked!

If Zhou Huchen possessed such strength, then just how powerful were the four elite forces of the Martial Arts Hall? How powerful could Zhou Fengming, the Hall Master and Patriarch of the Zhou Family, possibly be!?

All these things had truly gone far beyond Lu Yu's expectations. Even Lu Yu never imagined that the Zhou Family, hidden behind the Dongdao Group, held such formidable strength!

Sigh!

Thinking about this, Lu Yu suddenly let out a soft breath, shook his head at this moment, and showed a hint of deep and determined look on his face.

"No matter how strong your Zhou Family Martial Arts Hall is, as long as I'm alive, the blood feud of the Lu Family, I will seek justice from your family!"

Speaking slowly, Lu Yu's eyes gleamed with resolve: "The Zhou Family's strength is formidable, it will take time to exact revenge, but the Gu Family and Jin Family cannot be spared any longer!"

As Qin Ge said earlier, two fists cannot contend against four hands, and a good tiger struggles against a pack of wolves. After returning, I've been exceedingly assertive, and indeed, I've made too many enemies!

The Jin Family, Gu Family, Shadow Martial Alliance, and Paradise Island, each of these forces possess considerable power. If they are left unchecked, they will inevitably cause unnecessary trouble and result in many unexpected changes!

So now Lu Yu has decided that before striking against the Zhou Family, he will eliminate all these forces, with the Gu Family and Jin Family being the first to go!

As the saying goes, pick the weak ones to squeeze!

Among these forces, Lu Yu has already clashed with the Gu Family and Jin Family several times, and since the Gu Family and Jin Family are contending with each other, they have mutually diminished each other's strength. It is the moment when the Gu Family and Jin Family are weakest, and taking action against them now would provide a great opportunity to eliminate them!

Especially the Gu Family, their expert Gu Yanzhou is already dead by my hand, and now, with my strength alone, I can vanquish Gu Shengzhe, thereby leading the entire Gu Family to its end!

The reason Lu Yu hadn't acted against the Gu Family before was to let them and the Jin Family fight each other and drain each other's strength to the maximum extent, then suddenly strike to capture them all in one net!

But now, having learned that both the Shadow Martial Alliance and Paradise Island are brewing plans against him, and with the understanding of the Zhou Family's strength, he has completely changed his mind!

There is no more delaying it!

The Zhou Family's strength is formidable, and since I've made many enemies, if things continue like this, I'm bound to be at a disadvantage eventually. Hence, in such circumstances, Lu Yu decided to first neutralize the forces watching him intently, before striking against the Zhou Family!

As the saying goes, external attacks must be subordinated to internal stability; only when things are stable on my side, can I strike outward!

These forces that are eyeing me are a great hidden danger; if they are not cleared, and I rashly attack the Zhou Family, I will surely be attacked from both sides and suffer great losses!

Thinking about this, Lu Yu smiled, then his lips curved into a faint smile, and he stepped out of the Dongdao Group's parking lot, hailed another car, and disappeared into the rainy night of Lin'an City.

...

A moment later, with plans of attacking the Gu Family and Jin Family brewing in his mind, Lu Yu returned directly to his residence.

As soon as he opened the door, a waft of aroma hit his nose. Looking up, he saw Meng Yue sitting leisurely on his sofa, watching a movie with a variety of snacks and barbecues laid out in front of her, looking quite tempting.

Seeing this scene, Lu Yu couldn't help but shake his head, appearing quite helpless; at this moment, he looked at Meng Yue and chuckled, "Beautiful, you're too relaxed; although I don't mind you coming in and out of my room as a landlord, you should consider my feelings, alright."

Originally, Lu Yu intended to carefully think about his matters after returning, but now, with Meng Yue here eating snacks and watching movies, it was impossible for him to concentrate.

"Alright, there are so many things, just sit down and join me."

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Meng Yue smiled slightly, her face showing a hint of amusement, her words were filled with calmness.

Hearing Meng Yue's words, Lu Yu helplessly shook his head, sat next to Meng Yue, opened a snack, then looked at the clock on the wall and noticed it was nearly midnight.

Seeing this, Lu Yu looked at Meng Yue and said, "Beautiful, it's past midnight. Don't you have work tomorrow?"

"Nope."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Meng Yue replied mildly, "This morning, several people in formal attire came to our precinct to take over all the cases I was handling, considering that I was recently attacked. The office gave me a ten-day long vacation."

Speaking with calmness, Meng Yue continued watching her movie while snacking.

After hearing this, Lu Yu chuckled twice with helplessness. The group that took over Meng Yue's cases this morning, Lu Yu could easily deduce with his heel that it was Qin Ge's Shadow Sword.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu said nothing more; he took a bite of his snack, looked at Meng Yue watching the movie, and his lips couldn't help but reveal a slight smile.

Since thinking things through tonight was impossible, he might as well embrace reality, take the opportunity to relax; after all, he has most of his plans in place, and specific matters can be addressed tomorrow!

With this decision, Lu Yu's eyes showed a hint of amusement, he relaxed, eating snacks while watching the movie with Meng Yue.
