Chapter 457: Chapter 457: You Continue!

Qiao Chuanjiang wailed:

"Stop, stop it now..."

"I was wrong, I truly was!"

Only then did Zhou Yu remove the silver needles from his body.

Lying on the ground like a dead dog, Qiao Chuanjiang was completely soaked in sweat.

"Speak, what’s really going on?"

Qiao Chuanjiang struggled to get up from the ground, his voice hollow as he said:

"I was just following orders, it was the Gao Family who told me to do this."

"Even if you torture me to death, there’s nothing I can do."

Zhou Yu said indifferently:

"I don’t want to listen to your nonsense, just tell me, is the contract for Metro Line 10 still in your hands?"

Qiao Chuanjiang fell silent for a moment before nodding.

"Yes, but I can’t give it to you. If I do, I’ll still die. The Gao Family won’t let me off."

Zhou Yu smiled faintly.

"As long as you keep quiet, who will know?"

"What?" Qiao Chuanjiang was stunned.

"The reason I came to find you late at night was to give you a way out, wasn’t it?"

Qiao Chuanjiang realized what was being suggested.

"You mean... a secret exchange?"

Zhou Yu nodded and said:

"You’re not too stupid."

"But..."

"This can’t stay hidden for long."

Zhou Yu said indifferently:

"I believe you’ll find a way."

Qiao Chuanjiang’s face looked terrible.

"There is a way..."

"But once they find out, I’m sure I won’t survive."

Zhou Yu’s patience was nearly exhausted; he narrowed his eyes, and a chill flashed through them.

"Keep talking nonsense, and you’ll die now."

"Think it over yourself."

Finished speaking, Zhou Yu suddenly flicked his fingers, and three silver needles shot instantly into the body of the beauty on the bed.

The next moment, Zhou Yu snapped his fingers.

"Go, pour me a glass of wine."

The beauty, who had previously fainted, mechanically got up, walked over to the table, poured a glass of wine, and handed it to Zhou Yu.

Afterwards, she stood at the side, motionless.

"She she she... What’s happened to her?"

Qiao Chuanjiang’s face turned pale with fright, his mouth trembling.

Zhou Yu said indifferently:

"It would be easy for me to do the same to you. Don’t push me."

Qiao Chuanjiang shuddered, his eyes filled with fear as he looked at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu actually knew such eerie methods; he didn’t want to end up like that.

"I... I agree."

At this point, he was filled with extreme regret. If only he had known, he would not have gotten involved in this affair.

But now, it was too late for regrets.

Qiao Chuanjiang got up and took out the project contract for Metro Line 10.

Then, he produced a contract for the transfer of the project, which both parties signed.

Zhou Yu, holding the signed contract, nodded in satisfaction.

"Good."

"Many thanks to Family Head Qiao."

"Family Head Qiao, please continue, I won’t disturb your pleasure any longer."

After saying this, Zhou Yu withdrew the silver needles from the beauty’s body, his figure flashed, and he directly disappeared outside the window.

Qiao Chuanjiang collapsed onto the ground, his face the picture of exhaustion.

Just then, the beautiful woman regained consciousness.

After a brief moment of daze, she suddenly seemed to remember something, her face filled with panic as she twisted her head around to look, but found no one.

"Mr. Qiao, where did that man go?"

The woman said, still in fright.

Qiao Chuanjiang, sitting on the floor, suddenly lifted his head and looked at the woman, his gaze turning chilling.

"What did you just say?"

The woman was startled.

"Mr. Qiao, I... I said, someone... someone broke in..."

Qiao Chuanjiang immediately got up, walked over to the woman, threw her onto the bed, and grabbed her by the neck.

"Frickin’ hell, what nonsense are you talking about."

"What man?"

"Get it straight, tonight it’s just the two of us..."

After roaring, Qiao Chuanjiang brutally pounced on her.

...

After leaving the Qiao Family estate, Zhou Yu went straight back to his villa in Half Moon Bay.

When he returned, Tianpeng was there.

"How was she today?"

"She’s okay, right?"

Tianpeng shook his head and said:

"She’s fine."

"She just never came out."

Zhou Yu nodded and went to Lin Luoluo’s bedroom door.

Upon scanning with his Divine Sense, he found that Lin Luoluo seemed to have cried herself to sleep.

Zhou Yu looked at the contract in his hand, thought for a moment, and then turned to go back to his own bedroom.

Originally, he had planned to give this contract to Lin Luoluo; that way, she wouldn’t be so upset.

But on second thought, with the current situation in the capital so tumultuous, and Yang Tianpeng and Zhao Songqing apparently collaborating with so many others, they were clearly aiming to cause him trouble.

At such a critical juncture, if he gave the contract to Lin Luoluo, she would surely stay in the capital to lead the project, which would actually put her in danger.

It would be better for her to go back to Yancheng.

After all, with his arrangements, Yancheng now had many forces protecting the Lin Family; external forces would not find it easy to cause trouble there.

As for the project, Zhou Yu planned to find someone else to handle it and would transfer it to the Lin Corporation when a better opportunity arose.

A night passed without incident.

Early the next morning.

When Zhou Yu got up, he found Lin Luoluo packing her things.

Her eyes were bloodshot and somewhat swollen.

Zhou Yu asked in confusion.

"President Lin, what are you doing?"

"Going back to Yancheng."

"The project is already gone; what’s the point in staying here?"

Lin Luoluo said expressionlessly.

Zhou Yu nodded.

"That’s probably for the best."

"You go back first; I have some matters to take care of here, and then I’ll come back."

Lin Luoluo’s brow furrowed, seemingly wanting to ask something, but she ultimately didn’t.

"Whatever you say."

Soon, Lin Luoluo finished packing and left.

Zhou Yu had Tianpeng follow Lin Luoluo back, instructing him to protect her along the way.

After Lin Luoluo and the others had left, Zhou Yu picked up his phone and made a call to Lv Fang.

Lv Fang’s Eastern Group specialized in construction, and there was no one more fitting than Lv Fang to take on this project.

However, Lv Fang’s phone was unreachable.

Zhou Yu’s brow furrowed; he immediately left the house, went to Lv Fang’s villa in the city, but found it completely empty.

Zhou Yu immediately had a bad feeling.

He called Qin Dingbang.

"Uncle Qin, can you quickly check on Lv Ge’s whereabouts for me? See where he is now?"
