Chapter 619: Chapter 619 Mi Lan’s Request!

Hearing these words, a lethal intent flashed through Zhou Yu’s eyes.

If it were just normal business competition, there would be nothing to blame, but they had resorted to such despicable means right from the start.

The Yan Family, this is a death wish.

Although this was Jiang Shao’s speculation, Zhou Yu would rather believe it than not.

The Huan Yu Corporation was built by Zhou Yu to protect the Lin Family, and he wouldn’t allow anyone to target Huan Yu Corporation with such underhanded tactics.

This matter had to be completely resolved.

Having made up his mind, Zhou Yu looked at Jiang Shao and, without another word, raised his hand and struck down!

Bang!

Jiang Shao’s pupils contracted suddenly, and then he heavily fell to the ground.

Blood slowly seeped out of his eyes.

Zhang Tianlei was scared out of his wits.

He hadn’t expected Zhou Yu to actually kill Jiang Shao just like that.

Thump!

He knelt on the ground, his eyes filled with fear and begging for mercy.

"Mr. Zhou..."

Zhou Yu turned to look at Zhang Tianlei and said indifferently,

"Seeing as you’ve cooperated well, I won’t kill you."

Zhou Yu took out his phone and called Wu Yue, asking him to come and take the man.

Wu Yue was leading Unit Eight to capture those involved in the prison break, and upon hearing that Zhou Yu had captured someone, he immediately brought people over.

Zhou Yu handed Zhang Tianlei over to Wu Yue.

After busying himself with all this, it was already the afternoon.

Just as Zhou Yu walked out of the hotel, his phone rang.

"Zhou Yu, do you have time right now?"

"I’ve already reserved a restaurant."

It was the girl from Unit Eight.

Zhou Yu replied,

"I do."

"Send me the address."

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Yu quickly received a text message.

The restaurant the girl had chosen was right in the city center, not far from here. Zhou Yu walked for about ten minutes and arrived.

This was a mid-range restaurant, and at mealtime, there were many city workers coming and going.

As soon as Zhou Yu entered, he saw the girl waving to him from a booth by the window.

Zhou Yu walked over.

The girl was both happy and nervous.

"Zhou Yu, please have a seat."

"Sorry, I don’t make much money, so I can’t afford to treat you to those high-class places. I come to this restaurant often, their dishes are really good."

As she spoke, she hurriedly poured a cup of tea for Zhou Yu.

"This place is quite nice."

Zhou Yu smiled and sat down.

"By the way, I still don’t know your name."

The girl’s expression froze and she quickly apologized.

"Sorry, I thought you knew."

"My name is Mi Lan, Lan as in the color blue."

"Mi Lan, that’s a nice name,"

Zhou Yu complimented.

"By the way, you said you needed my help with something. Tell me, what is it?"

He picked up the teacup, inhaled the aroma, and took a sip.

Mi Lan took a deep breath and said,

"Zhou Yu, I... I want to ask you... to pretend to be my boyfriend."

Splash!

The tea Zhou Yu had just sipped spurted out.

"What?"

Mi Lan got sprayed in the face.

The scalding tea made her burn with pain.

But she ignored the pain, quickly stood up, and bowed to apologize.

"So sorry... so so sorry."

"I didn’t mean it."

"If I was too abrupt, I apologize to you."

Mi Lan’s actions immediately drew the attention of many people around.

Seeing such a beautiful girl splashed in the face with tea and scared to such an extent,

some people immediately shot angry glances at Zhou Yu.

Zhou Yu quickly wiped his mouth and stood up, approaching Mi Lan.

"Your face, is it okay?"

"I’m fine!"

Mi Lan was a bit evasive.

But Zhou Yu forcefully grabbed her, placing his hand on her face.

Mi Lan’s face turned red "in an instant."

However, the next moment, she was stunned.

She felt that Zhou Yu’s hand, like a piece of warm jade, brought her a soothing coolness.

The area of her face that had been scalded by the tea quickly returned to normal.

Shock filled Mi Lan’s eyes.

After doing all this, Zhou Yu returned to his own seat and sat down.

"That, sorry, I lost my composure just now."

"It’s just... I only just found out your name, how could you ask me to... well... do something so important?"

"I..."

She seemed to have something difficult to express.

Zhou Yu didn’t rush her, waiting patiently for her to speak.

After a moment, Mi Lan took a deep breath and said,

"Zhou Yu, there’s something I must apologize to you for first."

"I used the authority of the Martial Cabinet to investigate your identity."

"I know you’re an Innate Martial Artist, and not even figures like the Letian Association Chairman or Capital City’s Zhao Zhinian can match you."

"You also have medical skills, even Sun, one of the three Saint Physicians, speaks highly of you."

"And you also have connections with the Governor, Minister Wei and others..."

Zhou Yu’s expression remained calm as he quietly watched Mi Lan.

As Mi Lan spoke, a deep sorrow filled her eyes.

"So, I want to ask you to pretend to be my boyfriend to accompany me home to investigate the cause of my parents’ death..."

"Investigate the cause of your parents’ death?"

Zhou Yu was slightly taken aback.

"Aren’t you a member of the Martial Cabinet? Can’t the Martial Cabinet help you?"

Mi Lan said helplessly,

"I’m not from Qin State; my home is in Hai State, and the Qin State Martial Cabinet doesn’t have jurisdiction there."

"Moreover, the Mi Family holds a considerable power in Hai State, and ever since my parents faced ostracism within the family, no one in the family supports me now that they are gone."

"Outside the family, I don’t have many friends, let alone anyone who could help me."

As she said this, Mi Lan mustered her courage and looked into Zhou Yu’s eyes.

"You are the person I know who has the most impressive background and strength."

"That’s why I want to ask for your help."

She paused, bit her lip, and continued,

"I have nothing to offer you in return but myself."

"If you are willing to help me, I... I am willing to be your lover, or your object of venting. Whatever you want to do to me is fine. And if one day you get tired of me or annoyed, just say the word, and I will disappear from your world immediately, never to burden you in any way."
