Chapter 644: Chapter 644: Great Opportunity!

Upon hearing these words, Mi Youfu and the others’ expressions changed instantly.

"This is a matter of the Mi Family, what does it have to do with an outsider like you?"

Mi Youfu said angrily.

Zhou Yu spoke indifferently:

"I might be an outsider, but Mi Lan certainly is not."

"You’re not here to give me an explanation, but to give Mi Lan one."

With the support of Zhou Yu, Mi Lan also mustered the courage and asked angrily:

"What happened to my parents’ graves? Where are their bones?"

Mi Youfu’s face became somewhat unsightly.

He kept glancing at Zhou Yu, clearly fearing him.

"Mi Lan, the situation with your parents can’t be explained in a moment... How about this—"

"Give us three days, we’ll bring back their bones first, then I’ll tell you everything."

Upon hearing this, Mi Lan showed a hesitant look.

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed.

"Still trying to pull tricks, huh? Seems like you won’t cooperate unless forced."

As soon as he heard this, Mi Youfu quickly said:

"You... don’t push it too far."

"Mi Lan, this is the Mi Family’s affair. If you insist on involving an outsider, we would rather die than bow our heads."

Mi Youfu looked as if he were prepared to fight to the death.

Mi Lan’s eyes clearly fluctuated with emotion.

After a moment, she turned to Zhou Yu.

"Zhou Yu, why don’t we wait for their three days?"

Zhou Yu sighed.

In the end, Mi Lan was still soft-hearted, still holding on to kinship and not wanting to reach a point of no return.

Zhou Yu could understand, and he nodded:

"Fine, I respect your decision."

Gratitude filled Mi Lan’s eyes.

"Thank you."

...

Elsewhere.

He Xu arranged for He Liang and an elderly man surnamed Chen to be taken to the hospital, while she herself returned home.

However, shortly after she returned to her room,

Bang!

He Xu’s door was kicked open.

He Tianyu burst in, furious.

"He Xu, my son He Liang got his legs broken, and you let that person leave?"

"You have lost all face for the He Family."

He Xu responded expressionlessly:

"Second Uncle, that man is extremely capable, and even Uncle Chen was no match for him. If I hadn’t begged for mercy, you probably wouldn’t see your son by now."

He Tianyu scolded:

"Bullshit!"

"I’ve already asked my son, and he said that man is related to the Family Head’s death, very likely an accomplice to the murderer. My son, risking his life for revenge, didn’t care about dying, but you groveled before the enemy, losing all sense of decency. You’re not fit to be a part of the He Family."

"I’m going to report today’s events to the elders. Tomorrow morning, just wait obediently for the elders’ judgment."

"And the incident with your brother He Lun apologizing on his knees in front of the whole school, turning the He Family into a laughingstock, hasn’t been settled yet. We’ll settle that score at the same time."

"Your branch of the family must be properly held accountable."

Hearing this, He Xu’s face showed scorn.

"Is your son avenging Grandfather? He’s clearly thinking with his lower half."

"You don’t need to put on airs. Ever since my father stepped down as Family Head, I have been a thorn in your side. Congratulations, today you’ve finally found your chance."

"After all this talk, aren’t you just after the assets in my hands?"

He Xu’s face was full of contempt.

"You want it, take it."

However, He Tianyu didn’t care about He Xu’s mockery at all, his eyes squinting slightly.

"So, you agree to hand over the assets you hold?"

He Xu, with an expressionless face, took out a pile of seals and share transfer contracts from the safe, and without hesitation, signed her name on them.

"With the ability of you and your father, these assets, once in your hands, will sooner or later be squandered away."

A flash of excitement passed through the depths of He Tianhua’s eyes.

"You needn’t worry about that."

He Xu, holding the items in her hand, shook them slightly and then said coldly:

"I can give you what you want, but you have to promise that you will no longer trouble our branch of the family."

He Tianhua nodded and smiled.

"Of course, after all, we are one family, aren’t we?"

"In the future, your branch will just enjoy your lives."

For He Tianhua, taking back the assets from He Xu meant that he would completely control the lifeline of the He Family. It also signified that his elder brother He Tianhua’s branch would have no chance to turn the tables. The He Family would from then on be under his command. That was what he wanted.

As for losing face for the family, it didn’t matter.

How much is face worth?

He Xu knew all too well the mentality of her second uncle. She scoffed and handed over everything to He Tianhua.

He Tianhua left with excitement, taking the items with him.

Not long after He Tianhua left, there was a knock at the door, followed shortly by He Tianhua’s entrance.

Compared to his visit to Haizhou Provincial City University half a month ago, He Tianhua seemed to have aged more than a decade.

"Dad."

He Xu quickly stood up.

He Tianhua looked at his daughter with guilt in his eyes.

"The assets into which you’ve poured your heart and soul over the years, have you handed them over?"

A smile appeared on the corners of He Xu’s mouth, showing not sorrow but rather some excitement.

"Dad, that’s not important. I have something to tell you."

"Oh? What is it?" He Tianhua was taken aback.

"The man who killed Grandfather has appeared. His name is Zhou Yu, and he is now in Haizhou."

"Zhou Yu!!"

He Tianhua’s face tensed up.

"Was it really him who killed Grandfather?"

He Xu nodded.

"Yes, he confessed it in front of me tonight."

"And, he defeated Uncle Chen in one move."

He Tianhua frowned deeply.

He had confronted Zhou Yu at the Qinzhou Provincial City University.

Although he hadn’t seen Zhou Yu make a move, how could someone who had Wei Wuya to watch over him be ordinary?

"This young man’s strength is unfathomable. His visit to Haizhou, I wonder what he intends to do?"

If outsiders were present, they would be surprised to find that both He Xu and her father, He Tianhua, bore no hatred when discussing the murderer of the old Family Head.

A profound smile appeared in He Xu’s eyes.

"Dad, that’s not important. What’s important is that there aren’t many people in Haizhou who know how formidable he is right now."

"This is our opportunity."

He Tianhua’s face showed surprise.

"Opportunity? What opportunity?"

"Of course, it’s the opportunity for you to become the Family Head again."

"My second uncle has obtained the assets in my hand. He’s now at the height of his success, and he will surely seek trouble with Zhou Yu to avenge his son."

A sharp light flashed in He Tianhua’s eyes.

"This... indeed is a good opportunity."
