Chapter 742: Chapter 742: Eat Breakfast!

It was past ten at night when Zhou Yu and Chen Feihu arrived at Fengtai County, near the southern Mount Wutai.

Southern Mount Wutai is a very famous natural scenic area in Haizhou, attracting millions of visitors every year.

On the way, Chen Feihu had already booked the largest suite at the largest hotel in the area—the Dague Hotel.

After getting out of the car, Zhou Yu surveyed the surrounding environment.

Looking around, he only saw mountains rising steeply, shrouded in mist, giving one a sense of being embraced by nature.

Moreover, the air here was much fresher than in the city.

"What a wonderful place!"

Zhou Yu exclaimed.

You couldn’t deny it, hidden here, it would be quite difficult for the average person to find.

Chen Feihu hastily said,

"Mr. Zhou, this place is indeed nice, I’ve already arranged a tour guide to take us around tomorrow."

Zhou Yu chuckled.

"No need, I’m not here for a vacation."

Chen Feihu’s expression froze.

Not here for vacation?

Then why come here?

However, he smartly did not ask further.

"Mr. Zhou, shall we go to our room to rest then?"

"Mm," Zhou Yu nodded.

...

Meanwhile, on the other hand, Mi Zongwu tried to contact Gui Chi several times without success, his expression growing grim, guessing that Gui Chi might have failed.

"Damn Zhou Yu!"

"I really underestimated you. But do you think this is all I am capable of?"

He finished speaking and dialed a number.

"Minister Xiang, hello there."

The Minister Xiang in Mi Zongwu’s words was the minister of Haizhou’s Military Cabinet, Xiang Yinglong.

Xiang Yinglong had not expected to receive a call from Mi Zongwu at this time.

A shadow flitted across his eyes.

"Mi Zongwu, what do you want?"

Mi Zongwu sneered.

"Minister Xiang, such a cold tone."

"Seems like you’re very unwilling to take my call?"

"Don’t forget, we’re grasshoppers on the same string, people in the same boat."

"You..."

Xiang Yinglong’s expression turned extremely ugly.

He naturally knew what Mi Zongwu was referring to.

He took a deep breath, suppressing the anger in his heart, and said,

"Mi Zongwu, you better keep quiet. Zhang Zheng is now secretly investigating that explosion incident involving the Mi family over twenty years ago. If they discover something, your Mi family will be completely obliterated."

Mi Zongwu laughed, utterly unfazed.

"I’m not currently in the country, so, this matter will need more of your attention, Minister Xiang."

"Don’t forget, you were also involved in that incident back then."

Xiang Yinglong immediately fumed.

"Mi Zongwu, what do you mean by that?"

Mi Zongwu smiled faintly,

"No particular meaning, just a reminder to you, Minister Xiang."

"Of course, if you are unwilling, you can completely refuse to act. Worst comes to worst, if we get exposed, we’ll die together. For a small fry like me to drag down a big minister like you, it would also be my honor."

Xiang Yinglong’s fists clenched, veins bulging on his forehead, his eyes filled with dark fury, yet he was powerless.

"If you have something to say, speak directly."

"Quickly."

"I need your help to deal with someone."

"Who?"

"Zhou Yu!"

Xiang Yinglong’s expression stalled.

"You mean, the Zhou Yu who came from Qinzhou, who has recently risen to prominence in Haizhou?"

"Yes, that’s right."

"He’s now in Haizhou, and has relationships with several major powers here. It’s difficult to move against him."

"That’s your problem now."

"As Minister Xiang, you must be able to manage this small matter."

"I await your good news."

Mi Zongwu chortled and hung up the phone.

Bang!

Xiang Yinglong slammed his phone onto the table, his eyes nearly spitting fire with rage.

After a long while, he calmed down, then picked up the phone again.

"Find out Zhou Yu’s whereabouts!"

...

After Zhou Yu and Chen Feihu checked in, the night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Chen Feihu came knocking on Zhou Yu’s door.

"Mr. Zhou, let’s go have some breakfast."

Zhou Yu replied, then got ready and went downstairs to eat with Chen Feihu.

Because they were staying in a luxury suite, they enjoyed the highest level of treatment available at the Dague Hotel.

The dining area was located on the hotel’s luxurious rooftop restaurant.

There were quite a few other guests dining there as well.

Just as Zhou Yu sat down, he overheard people nearby discussing,

"Did you hear that someone jumped from a building last night?"

"Such a big event, everyone’s heard about it."

"But the one who jumped was a beautiful woman, and she didn’t die—someone saved her."

"Why would a beautiful woman suddenly think to jump off a building?"

"I heard a wealthy young man proposed to her and was turned down. Enraged, he decided to force himself on her, and then..."

"Sigh, I thought this was something fresh. Such incidents are all too common."

"In my opinion, that man isn’t anything good, and the woman isn’t much better."

"Exactly..."

Seeing Zhou Yu so absorbed, Chen Feihu cautiously asked,

"Mr. Zhou, if you’re interested, I could go find out more."

Zhou Yu snapped back to reality, shook his head with a smile,

"No need."

"Not interested."

"Let’s eat."

Just as he was about to start eating, suddenly, his phone rang.

Zhou Yu pulled out his phone and saw that it was Lin Luoluo calling.

Since arriving in Haizhou, Lin Luoluo, seemingly in a huff, had not contacted him until now.

Zhou Yu pressed the answer button.

"Zhou Yu, one of my best friends had an accident in Haizhou. You’re still in Haizhou, right? Do you have time to help out?"
