Chapter 1020: Chapter 1020: Investigation!

On the other side.

Capital City, Xu Family.

Old Master Xu was sitting by the lake fishing.

Beside him, a middle-aged man who resembled Xu Pingchang somewhat was speaking.

This man was Xu Pingchang’s father, Xu Xiangdong.

"Father, the situation in Yun State is like this now."

"Li Defu is already dead."

"Pingchang has been locked up by the Yunzhou Martial Pavilion."

Xu Xiangdong looked anxious, however, Old Master Xu remained expressionless and said indifferently.

"I know."

He didn’t even lift his eyelids.

Seeing this, Xu Xiangdong looked tense, hesitated for a moment, then mustered the courage to say:

"Father, although the incident in Nan County was Pingchang’s responsibility, no one expected that Zhou Yu’s strength would be this formidable. Actually, Pingchang is a victim too."

"Father, I beg you... find a way to rescue Pingchang?"

"Rescue him?" The Old Master suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Xiangdong.

A gleam seemed to flash in his tranquil eyes.

"Do you really think... he should be rescued?"

Though the Old Master’s words were calm, Xu Xiangdong inexplicably shuddered.

Xu Xiangdong knew the Old Master’s temperament very well and realized that his words must have angered the Old Master.

However, for the sake of his son, he couldn’t afford to be concerned with much else.

"Father, Pingchang is your own grandson after all. Leaving him there, he’ll be finished."

The Old Master frowned.

"Foolish."

"Now, him staying there is the safest option."

"What, do you think the people from the Martial Pavilion would actually eat him alive?"

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangdong was stunned.

"Father, you mean?"

The Old Master coldly replied:

"Idiot."

"If we rescue him now, and the old man from the Ye Family comes looking for trouble, will you deal or not?"

Xu Xiangdong hesitated for a moment.

"But if Pingchang remains imprisoned at the Yunzhou Martial Pavilion, wouldn’t it make things easier for the Ye Family?"

The Old Master coldly said:

"And so what?"

"At worst, he’ll suffer some physical pain. Do you think they’d dare kill Pingchang?"

Hearing this, Xu Xiangdong shivered all over, then quickly bowed and said:

"Father, I understand now."

"Actually, you’re protecting Pingchang."

"I’m sorry, I was too impatient just now."

The Old Master snorted coldly.

"Let that kid suffer more, it’s not a bad thing."

"Otherwise, he might think that just because he’s under the Xu Family name, everyone in the world would fear him."

"If everything in this world could be solved with a name, that would be great."

"Father, your teachings are right," Xu Xiangdong quickly agreed.

"And you."

The Old Master suddenly stared at Xu Xiangdong.

"The burden of the family now depends on you all, and you can’t even understand such a trivial matter. Can the future of the Xu Family be entrusted to you?"

"For all these years, I haven’t seen any progress in you."

"If you continue to be so rash, just leave the Capital City."

Upon hearing this, Xu Xiangdong trembled all over and said with a face full of fear:

"Father, I promise not to make the same mistake again."

The Old Master impatiently waved him off.

"Go."

"Also, investigate the matters in Nan County thoroughly. I want to know what Zhou Yu is all about."

"Yes, Father, I’ll arrange for someone to investigate immediately."

Xu Xiangdong bowed, then hurriedly left.

...

Nan County, Qi Family.

After three days, with the dedicated support of Nan Tangmu and others, the Qi Family’s assets were quickly returned under Yun Feifei’s name.

After taking care of the Qi Family’s matters, Yun Feifei hosted a family dinner at the Qi Family to thank everyone, especially Zhou Yu.

Nan Tangmu, Ye Mengyun, Azha, Sun Hachi, and others were all present.

The atmosphere during the banquet was extremely cheerful.

They had gone through three rounds of drinks, five courses of dishes.

Zhou Yu looked at everyone and smiled, saying:

"I am very pleased to have met you all this time in Yun State."

"I have finished my business here, and plan to leave for Shanghai tomorrow."

"If any of you need anything in the future, feel free to call me anytime."

Upon hearing this, everyone except Ye Mengyun showed surprise.

Especially Yun Feifei and Azha.

When the two women heard that Zhou Yu was leaving, their original smiles froze instantly.

Azha, being the impatient type, said reluctantly.

"Brother Zhou Yu, you’re going to Shanghai?"

"Why are you leaving so soon?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said:

"I have no choice."

"Now, I am sort of working for someone else, I can’t control my own time."

When he said this, Zhou Yu especially gave Ye Mengyun a look.

Ye Mengyun rolled her eyes at him, looking like she didn’t want to bother with him.

Hearing this, Azha said reluctantly:

"Alright then."

"Brother Zhou Yu, can I come visit you in Shanghai in the future?"

Zhou Yu smiled and said:

"Of course you can."

"Just give me a call before you come."

Hearing Zhou Yu’s agreement, Azha immediately became happy again.

However, Yun Feifei didn’t say a word the entire time.

After everyone finished eating, it was already late at night.

Zhou Yu just returned to his room, getting ready to rest a bit.

But, suddenly there was a knock on the door.

Zhou Yu was taken aback, then his eyes revealed a tint of surprise.

He walked over and opened the door.

Only to see Yun Feifei standing at the door.

"Sister Yun, why are you here?"

Yun Feifei bit her red lips, her face slightly flushed, and said:

"Didn’t you say you would check my health before leaving?"

Zhou Yu smiled wryly and said:

"Right, I was going to find you tomorrow morning before leaving."

Yun Feifei walked right in.

"No worries, let’s do it now."

"What do you need me to do?"
