Chapter 753: Chapter 753: Ambush at the Meal!

The Presidential Suite at the Douglas Hotel.

Li Zerui awoke from his coma to find himself lying in bed, his body covered in ointments.

Then, that piercing pain struck, contorting his face into a gruesome grimace.

"Zhou Yu!!!!"

"I will never let him off."

"Where is he?"

Li Zerui roared.

Gu Hongcai said in silence,

"We were supposed to take him down, but Hou Guangshou, the Deputy Minister of the Haizhou Martial Hall, intervened, and it was inconvenient for us to take action by force."

"Deputy Minister of the Haizhou Martial Hall? Of what should we be afraid?"

"Gu, just kill him, whatever happens, I will take responsibility."

Li Zerui was livid with rage, throwing caution to the wind, he wanted Zhou Yu dead.

At this moment, Jin Yidao spoke up,

"Our most important task this time is to find the Bai Family people."

"We cannot be delayed by other matters."

Jin Yidao’s words obviously carried an oppressive force, causing Li Zerui to not dare to rebut rashly.

Li Zerui said resentfully,

"Master Jin, Zhou Yu wouldn’t show up here for no reason; it’s possible he’s also here for the Bai Family."

"After all, his fiancée Lin Luoluo, is the niece of Bai Yutang."

"If he meddles and causes trouble, wouldn’t that spoil our plans?"

Jin Yidao said calmly,

"There’s no need to worry, according to the information I’ve obtained, even if we don’t act, someone else will take care of him."

Li Zerui was stunned,

"Who?"

"Xiang Yinglong!"

"Xiang Yinglong? The Minister of the Haizhou Martial Hall?" Li Zerui said in surprise.

"Correct!"

Jin Yidao nodded his head.

"Therefore, next, we need to focus all our attention on the Bai Family’s old patriarch."

"The old patriarch holds at least half of the Bai Family’s assets in his hands; if we can control him, our chamber of commerce will see a great increase in strength, even leaping to become the number one in Shanghai City. This opportunity cannot be missed."

Although Li Zerui was the young master of the Tianyu Chamber of Commerce, both Jin Yidao and Gu Hongcai were among Tianyu’s eighteen generals, especially Jin Yidao, who was among the top five. Their strength and status were not the slightest bit inferior to Li Zerui’s.

In fact, to some extent, they were irreplaceable, while Li Zerui was not.

Hence, Li Zerui did not dare to refute Master Jin’s words.

"Master Jin, I understand."

But no one noticed the vengeful malice that flashed in his eyes.

Li Zerui had suffered such a big loss at the hands of Zhou Yu, how could he just let it go?

Li Zerui suddenly said,

"Gu, could you trouble someone to check which forces have come near this Nanwutai area?"

"Knowing both our enemies and ourselves will allow us to be better prepared."

Gu Hongcai nodded.

"That’s a good suggestion, I’ll send someone to investigate immediately."

Gu Hongcai immediately gave the order, and soon, reports came in.

Gu Hongcai said to Li Zerui and Jin Yidao,

"So far, the large forces that have shown up around Nanwutai Mountain include the Haizhou Martial Hall, the Zhu Family from Shanghai City, our Tianyu Chamber of Commerce, the Luo Family from Shanghai City, and additionally, I’ve heard that someone from Capital City has also arrived, but we haven’t found out who it is yet."

"Those are the large forces; there are also some medium and small forces around, but they do not pose a threat and can be ignored."

A thought struck Li Zerui.

"Gu, who from the Zhu Family is here?"

"It seems to be Zhu Hongsheng, with two from the Zhu Family’s ten major attendants."

A gleam flashed through Li Zerui’s eyes.

"Good, Gu, I got it."

"Gu, Master Jin, I would like to rest for a while; might you leave first..."

Gu Hongcai said with a smile,

"Alright, then we’ll step out. Call us if you need anything."

"Okay."

As Gu Hongcai and Jin Yidao left the room, Li Zerui immediately took out his phone and dialed a number.

A moment later, the call connected and Li Zerui said with a smile,

"Brother Zhu, haha, I heard you’ve also come to Nanwutai Mountain?"

"..."

"I would like to make a deal with you. I have information on the old patriarch of the Bai Family’s granddaughter, whom the old man greatly values. I will tell you for free, but in exchange, you have to help me take care of someone..."

...

Time flew by, and before long, it was evening.

Lin Luoluo and Ye Ling, the sisters, were both hungry from their chat.

Ye Ling clamored to go downstairs for a meal.

"I came across a particularly delicious restaurant the other day. They specialize in local delicacies here, and the taste is incredibly good. I’ll take you there."

Ye Ling said excitedly.

Lin Luoluo immediately agreed with a nod.

"Great."

Then, she looked at Zhou Yu.

"Are you coming?"

Zhou Yu shrugged, "Of course, I have to go. Otherwise, if you two go out, I won’t feel at ease."

Lin Luoluo rolled her eyes at Zhou Yu but did not say anything further.

The three of them got dressed and went downstairs. Hearing that the place was a bit far, Zhou Yu also called Chen Feihu to drive them there.

The four of them drove along the mountain road towards the east. Just as they were about to leave the scenic area, they finally saw a farmhouse by the roadside.

"That’s the place; just park at the door."

Lin Luoluo cheerfully pointed at the farmhouse.

"Alright!"

Chen Feihu acknowledged and turned around to park the car at the entrance.

They got out of the car and went in.

Zhou Yu’s face was initially smiling, but as he stepped into the courtyard, his expression suddenly darkened.

At this moment, Ye Ling was still excitedly calling out,

"Boss, where’s the boss?"

"Customers are here!"

Yet no one came out to greet them, and as Ye Ling was wondering, a flurry of footsteps came from the back yard.

Then, a large group of people came out.

Leading them was a young man, accompanied by an old man, with a bunch of burly men in thug attire following them.

Even a fool would know these people were up to no good, given such a lineup.

Ye Ling turned pale with fright, hastily backed away, and hid behind Zhou Yu.

Seeing this, Chen Feihu immediately stepped forward and shouted,

"Who are you?"
