Chapter 897: Chapter 897: Zhou Yu’s Method!

Zhou Yu smiled and said.

"Naturally, I’d like the Martial Pavilion to step in."

"This Qu Hao has been using violence, oppression, and even enslaving ordinary people. This has already seriously violated the rules of the Martial Pavilion."

Hearing this, both Qu Hao and Xing Nong were stunned.

Especially Qu Hao, who let out a slight sigh of relief before sneering with disdain.

Smack!

Without even glancing at Qu Hao, Zhou Yu slapped him across the air.

"Ah—"

Qu Hao let out a miserable scream and then directly passed out.

Zhou Yu acted as if it were a trivial matter, then continued to smile and said.

"Mr. Xing, what’s wrong? Don’t you think my method is a good one?"

Xing Nong’s expression became complicated as he looked at Zhou Yu.

"Mr. Zhou, you may not understand the situation here."

"I can tell you clearly, the Martial Pavilion cannot control the Qu Family."

Zhou Yu was not surprised because Jia Tianqi had already informed him of this before he came.

However, Zhou Yu simply smiled and said:

"Mr. Xing, I don’t believe the Martial Pavilion cannot suppress the Qu Family."

"How about this, why don’t you contact the Martial Pavilion for me and have their people come over immediately?"

"This..."

Xing Nong thought Zhou Yu didn’t believe what he said, so he quickly added:

"Mr. Zhou, what I’m saying is true. Moreover, it’s something everyone in Kun City knows. If you don’t believe me, you can ask others..."

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and interrupted Xing Nong.

"Mr. Xing, I believe what you said."

"But I don’t believe the Martial Pavilion would allow itself to be this spineless. Just help me contact someone from the Martial Pavilion to come over."

Zhou Yu’s purpose on this trip was to deal with the Blood Gu Clan, but Yun State’s situation was even more complicated than he had anticipated. Therefore, Zhou Yu needed someone to assist him.

The Martial Pavilion was obviously the best choice.

To get the Martial Pavilion’s help, one naturally needed to demonstrate their worth.

This was precisely why Zhou Yu insisted on taking this approach.

Of course, there was no need to explain all this to Xing Nong.

Seeing Zhou Yu so resolute, Xing Nong sighed. He didn’t know how to persuade him further, so he could only follow Zhou Yu’s request and call the Martial Pavilion.

...

Meanwhile, on the other side.

The Qu Family.

The family head of the Qu Family, and Qu Hao’s father, Qu Xinyuan, was working in his study.

Suddenly, three old men rushed in anxiously.

"Family Head, it’s bad. Young Master Qu has been detained at the Sunlight International Hotel, and his legs have been broken!"

Qu Xinyuan abruptly stood up, his eyes brimming with terrifying anger.

"What did you say?"

"What happened exactly?"

The three old men quickly explained the afternoon’s events, from Qu Hao’s legs being broken to him leading retaliation and failing.

"Family Head, that’s the situation."

"That young man has already made it clear—if the Qu Family doesn’t give him a satisfactory explanation, Young Master Qu will definitely die."

Bam!

Qu Xinyuan slammed his hand on the desk, sending books, ink, and pens flying everywhere.

"For how many years, no one has dared to touch a member of the Qu Family in Kun City!"

"That boy must be courting death."

Qu Xinyuan’s fury left the three old men silent with fear, trembling and not daring to speak.

However, Qu Xinyuan suddenly thought of something.

"Did you just say that boy came from the Capital City?"

"Yes, Family Head."

"Young Master Qu said so personally. He mentioned that this man was personally picked up by Li Changming from the Sunlight International Hotel."

"And Li Changming is someone connected to the Governor!"

As he heard this, Qu Xinyuan frowned, a contemplative look appearing in his eyes.

After a moment, his face darkened further, and he said.

"Regardless of his background, he dared to harm my son; he must pay the price."

"Otherwise, everyone in Kun City will start challenging the Qu Family’s authority."

"You all go now. I’ll handle this matter personally."

Hearing this, the three old men quickly left.

Qu Xinyuan picked up his cellphone and dialed a number.

...

Meanwhile, elsewhere.

Since leaving the Sunlight International Hotel at noon, Li Changming had gone straight to the Governor’s office.

However, it wasn’t until nightfall that he finally met with Governor Wang Zhongguo.

Entering the office, Li Changming found Wang Zhongguo’s face frighteningly grim.

Li Changming braced himself and said, "Governor, things at the hotel have gotten out of control. This afternoon, Qu Hao went looking for trouble again. With his personality, this matter won’t end without someone losing their life."

"Governor, could you think of a way to calm things down?"

Wang Zhongguo snorted angrily.

"You want me to calm things down?"

"How am I supposed to do that?"

"Do you know Qu Hao’s hands and legs have been broken by that boy, and he’s being held at the hotel?"

"And he’s even demanding the Qu Family give him a satisfactory explanation!"

"That boy is clearly courting death. After offending the Qu Family like that, how do you expect me to mediate?"

Hearing this, Li Changming was dumbfounded.

"What???"

Zhou Yu actually broke Qu Hao’s hands and legs?

And even openly challenged the Qu Family?

This series of actions left Li Changming completely stunned.

For a moment, he couldn’t even process what was happening.

Zhou Yu... is he deliberately pushing the Qu Family to the brink of complete hostility?

"Li Changming, I’ve told you before. Yun State, especially the situation in Kun City, is very delicate right now. Maintaining balance is beneficial for everyone."

"But what did you do?"

"I trusted you and put you at the hotel. And now look. If I hadn’t stepped in, would you have gone along with that boy to challenge the Qu Family?"

"And now you’re here asking me to mediate. What are you even thinking?"

"Hmm?"

Wang Zhongguo’s face was full of rage.

"Do you realize that once the state government gets embroiled in a conflict with the Qu Family, how many deaths would occur across Kun City and Yun State? How many innocent civilians would suffer?"

Li Changming’s face turned deathly pale.

He knew Wang Zhongguo wasn’t exaggerating one bit.

When Wang Zhongguo had just been reassigned to Yun State, he had tried to suppress the Qu Family’s arrogance, only to provoke their wrath. In just half a month, Kun City had been plagued by violent clashes and rampant fires, leading to the deaths of more than ten of Wang Zhongguo’s trusted aides under mysterious circumstances.

This event remained a scar in Wang Zhongguo’s heart to this day.

After that, he changed strategies, working to stabilize the Qu Family while looking for the right opportunity.

This was why he was so furious at Li Changming now.

Li Changming was also stricken with regret at this moment. Bowing deeply, he said:

"Governor, I’m sorry. I didn’t think things through."

"Rest assured, I... I won’t get involved in this anymore."

But Wang Zhongguo said gravely:

"It’s not about stepping back; it’s about maintaining full awareness."

"This boy’s audacious challenge to the Qu Family suggests he might have some kind of plan."

"If he can truly stand up to the Qu Family, the opportunity I’ve been waiting for may finally have arrived..."

Hearing this, Li Changming raised his head sharply, his eyes brightening as he looked at Wang Zhongguo.
