The strength of the Gu Family and the Jin Family was always comparable, and precisely because of this reason, although the Gu Family and the Jin Family had been hostile to each other for many years, neither could do anything about the other, resulting in a prolonged stalemate.

And now, Lu Yu had somehow managed to wipe out the Gu Family without anyone noticing. This development truly sent chills down Jin Qingyun's spine, filling him with an unspeakable sense of cold despair!

Although the Gu Family had been a rival of his, they were also one of the families that acted against the Lu Family back in the day. Moreover, the strength of the two families was similar, which led to many similarities between the Gu Family and the Jin Family in certain aspects.

Now that the Gu Family had been quietly exterminated by Lu Yu without leaving a single trace of their bloodline, it was enough to demonstrate Lu Yu's ruthless methods this time!

To silently wipe out an entire family without a whisper of news truly instilled terror in Jin Qingyun.

The proverb "when the lips are gone, the teeth are cold" comes to mind. Now that Lu Yu could quietly eliminate the entire Gu Family, his next target would naturally be the Jin Family. After all, the strength gap between the Jin Family and the Gu Family wasn't substantial, and if Lu Yu could vanquish the Gu Family without a sound, the Jin Family's fate wouldn't be much different!

Having thought this through, Jin Qingyun nodded at the servant from the Gu Family, then turned to the butler beside him and said, "Let's go!"

In his words, Jin Qingyun's tone was weak and powerless, his steps reflecting signs of frailty.

At this moment, he truly felt bouts of helplessness and sorrow, coupled with surges of panic and fear!

The demise of the Gu Family served as a mere warning sign. Jin Qingyun, shrewd and calculating, clearly saw Lu Yu's resolve for revenge and formidable capabilities behind this event!

Quietly annihilating a fairly formidable Gu Family, such strength and power were genuinely terrifying!

Now the time had gradually entered the height of summer, yet Jin Qingyun's heart seemed immersed in the dead of winter, filled with a sense of icy coldness throughout his body!

When he returned to his Rolls-Royce Phantom, Jin Qingyun leaned back in the rear seat, took out a bottle of chilled whiskey from the vehicle, and after taking a deep gulp, his previously rapid breathing gradually calmed down.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Seeing Jin Qingyun in this state, the butler spoke up, "Now that the Gu Family has been quietly wiped out by Lu Yu, I'm afraid that Lu Yu's next target will be our Jin Family!"

"Not just afraid!"

Upon hearing the butler's words, Jin Qingyun said, "Back then, our families acted together against the Lu Family. It's obvious that Lu Yu is seeking revenge, and the next primary target is indeed our Jin Family!"

Jin Qingyun had a clear assessment of the situation and said, "Never in my wildest dreams did I think that Lu Yu, who used to be a useless waste, could now become so formidable. He appeared undisturbed on the surface, inciting a struggle between us and the Gu Family, while he silently annihilated the Gu Family. Such a mind and depth are truly terrifying!"

In his words, Jin Qingyun took another swig of vodka, this time with a gleam of determination in his eyes, "Now, with the injuries we sustained in our clash with the Gu Family, I fear we really aren't Lu Yu's match anymore!"

Buzz!

Upon hearing these words, the butler beside him abruptly felt his scalp tingle, and he looked at Jin Qingyun with a hint of panic in his eyes.

He never would've imagined that Jin Qingyun, usually so adept at scheming, would utter such words!

"Then... what should we do now, Master?"

Upon hearing Jin Qingyun's words, the butler was completely flustered as well. He looked at Jin Qingyun with panic and said, "Should we reveal the news about the Genetic Enhancement Potion inside Lu Yu to the Zhou Family in Jinling City and seek their protection?"

"The Zhou Family in Jinling City is huge, and the headmasters of their eighteen Martial Arts Halls are all top experts. If they just send a few headmasters, our Jin Family wouldn't be so passive."

In his panic, the butler suggested this, his words filled with apprehension.

He had heard everything clearly just now. The silent extermination of the Gu Family, even the master Gu Yanzhou, died at Lu Yu's hands. Such might was truly terrifying!

Moreover, many of the Jin Family's experts had already been killed or injured in previous actions against Lu Yu. After the business skirmish between the Jin and Gu Family, the Jin Family was severely weakened. Dealing with Lu Yu, who had enough power to annihilate the Gu Family, was indeed very difficult!

Thus, the butler came up with the idea to seek help from the Zhou Family!

"Foolish!"

Hearing the butler's words, Jin Qingyun said, "Approaching the Zhou Family at this time, and intending to share the news about the Genetic Enhancement Potion inside Lu Yu with them, is undoubtedly seeking skin with a tiger!"

"The Zhou Family is much stronger than us, and their methods are even more ruthless. Zhou Fengming, that old fox, is not to be trifled with. Given his ruthless methods, how do you know he wouldn't send those eighteen headmasters after you if he learned about this information?"

In his speech, Jin Qingyun spoke, his eyes filled with fatigue.

Jin Qingyun was shrewd; of course, he considered the existence of the Zhou Family. But the fact now was that the Zhou Family was far more terrifying than Lu Yu!

If he revealed the existence of the Genetic Enhancement Potion inside Lu Yu to the Zhou Family, he would certainly die before Lu Yu!

Because the Zhou Family's desire for the Genetic Potion was even more fervent than his own!

Once the Zhou Family discovered the Genetic Enhancement Potion inside Lu Yu, and that he had known this information previously but didn't inform the Zhou Family, the outcome for the Jin Family would be even more tragic than that of the Gu Family!

"Then what should we do now?"

In response, the butler panicked, staring at Jin Qingyun before him, his voice filled with anxiety, "Now nothing seems to work, we can't just sit still and await our fate, can we?!"

"Of course, we won't sit and await our fate!"

Hearing the butler's words, Jin Qingyun spoke, and at this moment he said, "Now, I want you to go back and strengthen all the defenses of the family. We absolutely cannot allow Lu Yu any opportunity. Lu Yu's method to eliminate the Gu Family was to strike separately. As long as our Jin Family stays tightly united, Lu Yu will have no means to act against us!"

At this moment, Jin Qingyun spoke with significant solemnity, while a hint of a bitter smile flashed in his heart.

Can binding tightly together really guarantee safety?
