Chapter 857: Chapter 857: Comfort!

Upon hearing this, Yu Kaiping and the others immediately showed signs of excitement.

"That’s fantastic."

"If that’s the case, in no more than a month, Huan Yu Industrial will completely replace Guangda Chemical. By then, the business landscape of Hai City will undergo a transformative change."

"It’s unbelievable!!!"

"If someone had told me a month ago that Guangda Chemical, this behemoth, would change hands within a month, I would have thought he was crazy!"

"I didn’t expect all of this to actually happen!"

Yu Kaiping’s face was flushed with excitement.

Mi Lan and He Xu were also beside themselves with excitement.

"This is really something to celebrate, let’s not go home tonight until we’re drunk."

Yu Kaiping immediately started pouring drinks.

The atmosphere in the private room suddenly became heated.

An hour later, Mi Lan and He Xu’s faces were rosily flushed, and their eyes were glazed with drunkenness.

However, as both were Martial Artists, this level of inebriation was nothing to them.

It was Yu Kaiping, instead, who was too overexcited and kept drinking one glass after another; now he was almost passing out.

At that moment, Yu Kaiping and He Xu were in a drinking contest, while Zhou Yu looked over at Mi Lan and gave her a slight smile.

"Mi Lan, shall we take a walk outside?"

Mi Lan was taken aback and then nodded.

The two of them walked shoulder to shoulder into the garden outside.

Zhou Yu took a deep breath and said:

"Mi Lan, there’s something I need to tell you."

"Your brother Mi Zongwu and your uncle Mi Youfu, they’re both dead."

Upon hearing this, Mi Lan’s expression froze, and the drunkenness on her face vanished instantly.

She was silent, gazing at the sky, and after a long time, she said:

"Zhou Yu, thank you."

Zhou Yu waved his hand.

"No need to thank me."

"After all, they were your family. It’s enough for me that you don’t blame me."

Mi Lan let out a bitter laugh.

"Family?"

"Perhaps I considered them family, but they wished nothing more than for my death."

Zhou Yu didn’t know what to say.

He awkwardly tried to comfort her:

"Mi Lan, from now on, you can consider me and the Xu Family, as well as Uncle Yu, as your family."

"Call me anytime you have any trouble."

Mi Lan looked at Zhou Yu, her eyes brimming with tears, and nodded gently.

"Yes!"

"I will!"

After they talked a bit more, He Xu’s voice came over.

"You two, I hope I’m not intruding?"

Zhou Yu turned his head and saw He Xu had also come out.

Seeing He Xu appear, Mi Lan seemed to realize something.

She smiled and said:

"Sister Xu, Zhou Yu was just talking to me about my family affairs, we’ve just finished."

"Oh right, how is Uncle Yu doing?"

"He is completely drunk," shrugged He Xu.

Mi Lan promptly said:

"Then I’ll take him to rest."

"You two talk."

After saying this, Mi Lan nodded at Zhou Yu and quickly walked back inside.

After watching Mi Lan leave, Zhou Yu playfully looked at He Xu.

"Sister Xu, what’s wrong? Aren’t you worried about me and Mi Lan..."

Zhou Yu didn’t finish speaking when He Xu abruptly threw herself at him, her crimson lips pressing against Zhou Yu’s.

Perhaps it was the long absence, or the stimulation of alcohol, but He Xu’s longing for Zhou Yu was uncontrollable and burst forth.

In an instant, Zhou Yu felt enveloped by a flame.

That intense passion caused Zhou Yu to succumb in an instant.

Zhou Yu held He Xu and returned to the room, and the next second, the two were entwined together.

That night, they intertwined countless times.

In the end, He Xu fell into a deep sleep from exhaustion.

And Zhou Yu was soaked in sweat.

He leaned against the headboard, looking at the sleeping He Xu, and couldn’t help but sigh.

"So the old saying in the village, that there’s only dead oxen but no worn-out fields, means this..."

Even he, a Body Refining Saint Realm practitioner, felt like his body was falling apart.

Men really have it tough.

Exhausting as it was, there was still a sense of accomplishment.

Zhou Yu got up, took a shower, and then went out to the balcony, his mind turning to the matters ahead as he stared at the night sky.

He had already paved the way for Guangda Chemical; the rest was up to He Xu and the others to handle.

As for himself, he definitely needed to make a trip to Yun State.

But as of now, he knew nothing about the situation of the Yunzhou Blood Gu Clan, which left Zhou Yu somewhat helpless.

He couldn’t just head there blindly and cluelessly.

"I need to find someone to ask about the situation first," he thought.

Zhou Yu started to ponder.

Should he go to Ye Mengyun? Or should he find Wei Wuya?

Forget it, better to find Wei Wuya. Although the Ye Family might know more, their background is too complicated. Letting them know too much might create unnecessary trouble.

Zhou Yu decided to set off back to Qin State tomorrow.

The night passed in a hurry.

The next morning, as soon as He Xu woke up, she saw Zhou Yu looking at her.

Remembering the madness of the previous night,

He Xu’s face turned red, and she quickly buried her head in Zhou Yu’s chest, cuddling there like a kangaroo.

Seeing this, Zhou Yu couldn’t help but smile.

He reached out to cradle He Xu’s perfect face in his hands.

"Sister Xu, I have something to tell you."

"What?"

He Xu was taken aback.

"The matter with Guangda Chemical, I’ll leave it to you all to handle. If you run into any difficulties, consult with Uncle Zhang and the others. I plan to leave Hai City today..."

The joy on He Xu’s face instantly faded.

"You’re leaving?"

"Where are you going?"

Zhou Yu was just about to reply when his phone suddenly rang.

He picked up the phone and saw that it was Sun Ling giving him a call.

A look of surprise crossed Zhou Yu’s eyes.

Why would she call all of a sudden?

Zhou Yu pressed the answer button.

Immediately after, Sun Ling’s anxious voice came through.

"Mr. Zhou, there’s trouble at Shenwu Hall!!!"

"Hall Master Yang’s life is in danger; please, I beg you to save us..."
