The next day, Lu Yu bought a deep black suit locally in Beigang City. He hailed a car and headed straight to a deserted hillside in Beigang City.

This hillside is far away from the city center of Beigang City. Standing on the hillside, one can overlook the entire scenery of Beigang City. It is definitely a place with a very excellent view.

At this moment, Lu Yu stood on the hillside, and before him was an unnamed mound covered in flowers and grass, giving an impression of vibrant vitality.

This mound is where Lu Yu's three companions rested. Two years ago, after Lu Yu killed those twenty-three members of the Flying Tiger Team, he buried the bodies of his three companions here, hoping they could overlook Beigang City and gain true freedom.

"Song Qiguang is dead"

Looking at the mound ahead, Lu Yu paused for a few seconds before speaking softly. His words were filled with a subdued calmness, as if he were informing old friends he hadn't seen in a long time: "Fed to the sharks by me alive, no remains left…"

In his words, Lu Yu's eyes were downcast, recalling the scenes on Paradise Island with these three companions, revealing a slight resigned bitter smile.

Sometimes life is like this; when you're helpless, you meet the most important people of your life, yet when you're extraordinarily capable, you can't find anyone important anymore.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head, took out a pack of cigarettes, lit one slowly and took a deep inhale, then placed it in front of the mound. This was repeated until three cigarettes were placed, showing a trace of depth on Lu Yu's face: "Marlboro, your favorite brand…"

When faced with the knowledge that death renders everything null, Lu Yu still liked to use this method to express his sorrow because with the death of a person, besides using this method to express his grief, Lu Yu couldn't find any other way.

In this way, while smoking, Lu Yu sat beside the mound, his expression calmly serene as he exhaled a mouthful of white smoke.

At this moment, on Lu Yu's young face, there appeared a rare trace of relaxation, as if he were sitting with a few friends chatting, infinitely comfortable…

...

Meanwhile, at Lin'an City International Airport.

A private plane from Jinling City slowly landed, and moments later a tall and well-built young man in a black suit stepped off the plane.

This young man had a handsome appearance, with a faint smile on his face and a strong confidence between his brows, appearing very outstanding.

This person was one of the sons of Zhou Fengming, the Zhou Family Patriarch, and the successor to the Dongdao Group CEO position, Zhou Jiming.

The Zhou Family in Jinling City was vast, and Zhou Fengming was not young. He had changed wives many times, resulting in a large number of offspring.

Zhou Fengming had eight sons. Except for three who died early due to old age and Zhou Xingyun who died in Lin'an City recently, only four remain.

And Zhou Jiming was undoubtedly among the more capable ones!

After Zhou Xingyun and Zhou Huchen both died in Lin'an City not long ago, the actions of Dongdao Group drew significant attention from the Zhou Family.

Under these circumstances, to investigate the reasons behind the deaths of Zhou Huchen and Zhou Xingyun, Zhou Fengming dispatched Zhou Jiming to uncover the truth while also taking over the position of Dongdao Group CEO.

At this moment, Zhou Jiming descended from the plane, gazing at the towering buildings in Lin'an City, a smile emerging in his eyes as he spoke: "So this is Lin'an City, truly an international metropolis. The level of prosperity here is truly incomparable to Jinling City!"

In his words, Zhou Jiming's voice rose, giving a sense of subtle excitement, clearly showing a yearning for Lin'an City.

Although Jinling City had rich cultural heritage, its prosperity ultimately could not rival Lin'an City.

"Young Master Jiming, though Lin'an City is more prosperous than Jinling City, it's also a place filled with hidden talents. The deaths of Zhou Huchen and Young Master Xingyun in Lin'an City here are the best proof!"

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a black Zhongshan suit spoke, holding a silver suitcase, giving a sense of weight and restraint.

"Uncle Tong, you're overthinking it"

Upon hearing the man's words, Zhou Jiming showed a hint of disdain, then spoke: "Though Zhou Xingyun had a good mind, he inherently disliked force, which led to his weak appearance, unable to even truss a chicken!"

"No matter how the world changes, strength always remains the unchanging truth. Without strength, even with a brilliant mind, you're just a waste, ending up dead in Lin'an City!"

In his words, Zhou Jiming spoke coldly without a trace of emotion, as if talking about a stranger, devoid of sibling affection.

Due to Zhou Fengming's numerous marriages, many of his children were half-siblings, naturally not getting along, often fighting amongst each other. Although Zhou Jiming and Zhou Xingyun were brothers, they were not born of the same mother.

Therefore, Zhou Xingyun died in Lin'an City, and now Zhou Jiming felt no sadness, but rather a tinge of schadenfreude!

"Young Master Jiming is right"

Upon hearing Zhou Jiming's words, the man referred to as 'Uncle Tong' spoke: "But now Young Master Jiming is also assuming the role of Dongdao Group CEO. I wonder how you plan to showcase your skills?"

In his words, Uncle Tong's tone was low, giving a sense of depth.

"No rush to showcase skills"

Upon hearing, Zhou Jiming smiled slightly, then responded: "Uncle Tong, as the saying goes, pay respects to the mountain when you see it and to the water when you come across it. Now that we're in Lin'an City's region, naturally we should send out invitations widely and host a grand banquet to meet these so-called business magnates. Perhaps, the person who killed Zhou Xingyun is among Lin'an City's business circle?"

Although feeling some schadenfreude toward Zhou Xingyun's death, investigating the cause was something Zhou Fengming personally arranged. Hence, Zhou Jiming dared not to slack off and had to find out diligently to avoid being blamed by Zhou Fengming!

Upon hearing Zhou Jiming's words, Uncle Tong's expression slightly shifted, then he spoke: "Young Master is right. I will immediately arrange for invitations to be created and distributed among various enterprises in Lin'an City."

"Hmm"

Upon hearing, Zhou Jiming nodded slightly, then said: "After all, this task was arranged by my father personally, and it must be completed well. Simultaneously through this, I want my father to know that I'm far more formidable than my three brothers!"

In his words, Zhou Jiming's eyes sparkled with an exceptionally dangerous aura.
