Chapter 11: Ruthless and Taciturn!

Xue Sanqiang and the others turned their heads and saw a person walking in.

It was Zhou Yu.

Hei Gou's face was a mix of shock and anger.

"It's him, the migrant worker."

Xue Sanqiang eyed Zhou Yu coldly.

"Who are you? What is your relationship with the Lin Family?"

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and said,

"Lin Luoluo is my future wife. What do you think our relationship is?"

"But you, why do you keep trying to hurt my wife?"

Xue Sanqiang's eyes narrowed, and he didn't answer, but only sneered,

"Young man, you are very bold. Depending on your skills, you dare to come here alone. Unfortunately, you've come to the wrong place."

"Ah Hu, take him down."

At Xue Sanqiang's command, Ah Hu charged forward.

A true master reveals himself at first strike.

Ah Hu was clearly different from those black-clad thugs who had kidnapped Lin Luoluo; his moves were well-practiced, indicating he was a trained fighter.

Ah Hu moved lightly, his Black Tiger Heart Digging strike quickly closing in on Zhou Yu's chest.

Zhou Yu remained unfazed, and at the moment the fist neared, he kicked out.

Bang!

Ah Hu had no chance to react as he flew backward, blood gushing from his mouth before he passed out.

Xue Sanqiang's most capable fighter was taken down in one move.

Xue Sanqiang's eyes twitched as he shouted,

"Ah Long!"

No further words were needed. The moment Ah Hu was sent flying, Ah Long made his move.

He immediately drew a handgun from his chest, its dark muzzle aimed instantly at Zhou Yu.

However, Zhou Yu casually flipped his hand.

The broken army knife struck like lightning, hitting Ah Long's wrist.

Crack!

"Aah—"

Ah Long screamed, clutching his wrist, falling to the ground in agony.

In less than three seconds, both of Xue Sanqiang's right-hand men were down.

This completely panicked Xue Sanqiang.

"Brother, misunderstandings should be resolved, not complicated. I, Xue Sanqiang, admit defeat this time. I'm willing to compensate! Name your price."

Zhou Yu smiled faintly and approached.

"You still haven't answered my question."

Xue Sanqiang, as a major figure in Yancheng's underworld, was used to others fearing him like a tiger, but today, facing this young man, he felt a chill run through his body for the first time.

Xue Sanqiang took a deep breath and tried to seem calm.

"Brother, have you heard of the Zongsheng Group? Everything I've done was at the behest of Zongsheng Group. They have decided to take on the Lin Corporation, and Lin Corporation won't last long."

"Seeing your capabilities, there's no need to go down with the Lin Corporation. Follow me, and I can give you everything — houses, money, women. You'll have as much as you want."

"Someone like Lin Luoluo, you can have your way with her however you want."

Zhou Yu narrowed his eyes.

"I don't know what crap Zongsheng Group you're talking about, but you shouldn't have touched my wife. You touch her, I deal with you."

Zhou Yu pointed his finger.

Pff!

A muffled grunt was heard, and suddenly, a bloody hole appeared in Xue Sanqiang's chest, blood spewing out.

Xue Sanqiang's eyes were full of shock; he clutched his chest. His mouth opened and closed but no sound came out. Finally, he fell to the ground, dead with his eyes wide open.

Hei Gou was terrified; he had never seen such astonishing methods before.

Panicking, Hei Gou backed behind a table and pressed a button.

Shortly after, a large group of people rushed in, easily numbering over a hundred.

The leader was a young man in his thirties.

The young man was named Li He.

Seeing Li He, Hei Gou saw him as a savior.

"Brother He, Brother He, you've come just in time. This guy killed Third Master. You have to order them to avenge Third Master!"

Li He looked up at Zhou Yu.

At a glance, Li He felt an abrupt twinge in his heart for some reason.

He eyed the scene in the room, fell silent for a moment, and then, grasping a knife, strode towards Zhou Yu.

On seeing this, Zhou Yu revealed a playful expression.

However, upon reaching Zhou Yu, Li He did not stop but instead walked directly past him towards Black Dog.

"Li He, what… what are you doing?"

Black Dog looked both shocked and angry.

Li He did not speak, only let out a cold laugh and swung the knife horizontally.

The blow severed Black Dog's throat.

Clutching his throat, Black Dog's pupils dilated in disbelief as he looked at Li He. His mouth opened and closed as blood gushed out, and he soon fell to the ground, dead.

Afterward, Li He approached the brothers Long and Hu, each receiving an additional stab.

Zhou Yu watched the entire process.

Tsk, tsk!

This Li He was a ruthless man indeed.

Having done all this, Li He approached Zhou Yu and abruptly knelt to the ground with a 'thump'.

"Sir, you are my savior. From today onwards, I, Li He, am willing to follow you."

Having spoken, Li He gestured, and the hundreds of strong men he had brought with him knelt down in unison.

Zhou Yu was taken aback, then showed a playful expression.

"You were so ruthless to your own brothers, and now you want to follow me. If you were me, would you feel safe?"

"Sir, I am not one of Xue Sanqiang's men. My former boss was named…"

It turned out that years ago, Li He had followed a boss who treated him well. Unfortunately, he was later betrayed and killed by Xue Sanqiang.

Li He endured the humiliation and stayed under Xue Sanqiang just to avenge his former boss.

After hearing this, Zhou Yu's look towards Li He changed somewhat.

If this was true, Li He was indeed a man of loyalty and righteousness.

"Now that you have killed Xue Sanqiang, you are my benefactor. I, Li He, am willing to be your loyal servant for life, at your beck and call, never to betray you."

Li He spoke with great determination.

Zhou Yu replied indifferently.

"Is that so? Then I want you to stab your own heart right now."

Upon hearing this, Li He bowed to Zhou Yu and then, without another word, took the knife and stabbed directly at his heart.

Thud!

He held nothing back, the tip of the knife plunging into his chest instantly.

Just then, Zhou Yu flicked his finger.

A silver needle shot out.

Clang!

Accompanied by a crisp sound, the knife in Li He's hand was knocked away.

Li He, holding his chest, looked at Zhou Yu in shock.

Admiration appeared in Zhou Yu's eyes.

This Li He really was a ruthless man.

He saw very clearly — the angle of the stab, the force, and the look in his eyes; that stab was not meant to leave any chance of survival. He had resolved himself to die.

This was enough to prove that Li He's words were sincere.

Zhou Yu spoke.

"I am not part of this line of work, so I will not take you in. However, if you have the ability, you can indeed take over Xue Sanqiang's position."

"Do you have the guts?"

Li He paused, then his face lit up with excitement.

Zhou Yu was offering him a chance to be the boss.

"Sir, I understand your intention."

"Then that's good."

Having said this, Zhou Yu walked out.

"Sir, could you tell me your name?"

"Zhou Yu."

With that, Zhou Yu walked straight out.

Li He watched Zhou Yu's retreating figure, firmly remembering the name.
