Chapter 885: Chapter 885: Fighting for Power and Profit!

The girl hesitated for a moment and said:

"Mr. Qu has said, ’Li Changming rarely plays the lackey for anyone, and if he does, it must be for someone exceptionally powerful.’"

"So, he figured you must be such a powerful figure, and that’s why... he sent me to you..."

Zhou Yu was stunned.

He hadn’t expected this to be the reason.

It seemed that, without realizing it, he had become entangled in a power struggle between two general managers.

This was truly a case of trouble coming from the sky while sitting at home.

Eh?

But that’s not right!

This can’t exactly be called trouble, at least, the girl Qu Hao found is indeed outstanding.

Zhou Yu looked at the girl and said:

"Now, let’s talk about you."

"What’s your name?"

"Why do you let Qu Hao manipulate you?"

The girl’s voice trembled as she said:

"My name is Jiang Lai."

"My parents are employees of this hotel. Qu Hao created a school under the guise of helping the poor, taking many daughters of the hotel’s staff to study there. Ostensibly, it was for training purposes, but in reality, it was for filtering."

"Those he was satisfied with were kept for special grooming and later assigned special tasks."

"If we refused, our parents would be tormented to death!"

"I had a friend who was tortured to death in front of her parents because she didn’t do as Mr. Qu commanded..."

At this moment, Zhou Yu understood everything.

Anger flashed through his eyes.

What a vicious man Qu Hao was.

Any family with such a beautiful daughter, subjected to such torment, the parents must feel so heartbroken and desperate.

Zhou Yu couldn’t help but exclaim angrily:

"Isn’t there anyone who manages him?"

Fear appeared in Jiang Lai’s eyes.

"The Qu Family has absolute power in Kun City, they can do anything without consequence."

"So, Brother, please I beg you, take me with you."

"Otherwise, if I fail the task, my fate will be very grim..."

As Jiang Lai spoke, she again moved closer to Zhou Yu.

This ’Brother’ almost made Zhou Yu’s blood boil again.

He quickly moved to one side, forcibly calming himself down.

"Jiang Lai, I order you to go sit over there."

Zhou Yu pointed to a sofa nearby.

Jiang Lai looked at Zhou Yu with big eyes, timidly asking.

"Brother, do you find me dirty?"

"I assure you, I am pure. Although Mr. Qu has seen and touched my body, he didn’t do more. He said keeping my purity would be more useful in the future, once tainted, I would be worthless."

Zhou Yu made a speechless face.

He didn’t know how many times he had been left speechless tonight.

"It’s not that I find you dirty."

"I know you are pure."

"Ah? How do you know?" Jiang Lai asked curiously.

"..."

Zhou Yu was speechless again.

"Well, now that I know the situation, you should go back. Tomorrow, call your Mr. Qu here, I want to talk to him in person."

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Lai immediately panicked.

She knelt on the ground with a ’plop’.

"Brother, please don’t send me away."

"If I leave your place tonight, my fate will be grim, and my parents may not survive either."

Seeing Jiang Lai so frightened, Zhou Yu couldn’t imagine what kind of threats and lessons she had received before.

He frowned.

"Alright then, go find a bedroom to sleep in."

"Tomorrow, I will take you to see Mr. Qu and get this matter cleared up, ensuring that neither you nor your parents will come to harm."

With Zhou Yu’s assurance, Jiang Lai then hugged her blanket, looking back three steps at a time as she walked into the bedroom.

Zhou Yu then went out to the balcony, took out his phone, and made a call to Li Changming.

The call connected.

"Mr. Zhou, what do you need me to do?"

"Brother Li, you have a general manager named Qu Hao, right?"

Li Changming was taken aback.

He hadn’t expected Zhou Yu to inquire about Qu Hao.

He hurriedly nodded and said:

"Yes, there is such a person."

"Mr. Zhou, how did you come to know about him?"

Zhou Yu didn’t want to elaborate on this matter, he simply said:

"Brother Li, invite him over for dinner tomorrow, I would like to meet this person."

Upon hearing this, Li Changming’s heart began to flutter uneasily.

Qu Hao was his arch-nemesis.

In their power struggle, Li Changming had always been at a disadvantage.

In fact, his current situation at the hotel was already precarious.

The reason he was attending to Zhou Yu so diligently now was that he learned through Yang Changrong about Zhou Yu’s significant background, hoping to win Zhou Yu’s favor, enhance his connections, and secure his position.

Thus, from the beginning when he went to receive Zhou Yu, he was wary of Qu Hao.

But he didn’t expect Zhou Yu would suddenly take the initiative to meet Qu Hao.

For a moment, Li Changming’s mind was in turmoil.

Could it be that Zhou Yu knew of the Qu Family’s strong influence and wanted to make connections on his own initiative?

If that were the case, wouldn’t all his efforts be in vain?

With this in mind, Li Changming suddenly became hesitant.

"Uh, Mr. Zhou, is it because I did something wrong in hosting you, or..."

"Brother Li, your hosting is very good; I just want to see this Qu Hao."

"What? Is it difficult?"

Zhou Yu countered.

Li Changming hurriedly shook his head.

"Not at all, not at all."

"Alright then, I’ll inform him now, but he might not pay any attention to me..."

Li Changming was actually playing a trick; it was now the wee hours of the morning, and based on what he knew of Qu Hao, he would certainly be sprawled on top of a woman by now.

So, calling him, Qu Hao might not even answer.

If Qu Hao didn’t answer, then Li Changming couldn’t be blamed.

Zhou Yu smiled and said:

"Brother Li, just make sure to notify him."

"Alright then."

Li Changming hung up the call and immediately dialed Qu Hao.
