After spending half a day enjoying the scenery from the Six Mansions Observation Tower, Lu Yu felt much more relaxed. At this moment, he took a deep look at the distant sky and slowly turned around, ready to leave.

However, just then, a figure suddenly rushed towards him, colliding headfirst into Lu Yu's arms.

Startled by this figure, Lu Yu looked down and discovered that it was a beautiful woman, dressed in white clothes, who had bumped into him.

The woman had a graceful posture and lovely features. Although her white clothing was quite ordinary, it gave off a distinctly unique aura.

Witnessing this scene, Lu Yu raised an eyebrow. Then, after helping the girl stand steady, he prepared to turn and leave.

For most people, an encounter like this would likely result in greeting the beautiful woman or finding a way to get her phone number, but Lu Yu had no such thoughts now.

Having roamed the dark side of the world for years, the frivolous tendencies in Lu Yu had completely faded. Even when faced with a beautiful woman, under unfamiliar circumstances, Lu Yu would never flirt or ask for her number.

"Help me!"

Just as Lu Yu was about to turn away, the girl grabbed Lu Yu's wrist and, in a sweet voice, pleaded: "Please, help me…"

In her words, and the look in her eyes, there was a hint of pleas, with traces of panic showing on her rather pretty face.

Hearing the girl's words, Lu Yu slightly raised an eyebrow, ready to say something, when a few men dressed in black walked straight over.

These men, clad in black, were robust and moved with steady steps, exuding an intimidating aura that made an ordinary person instinctively fearful.

Upon seeing the men, the girl's expression grew more anxious and frightened, clearly terrified of them.

"Miss, stop causing trouble. Your behavior is worrying the master,"

Upon seeing the girl, a man with a lean face and a gloomy expression stepped out, speaking as he walked: "Come back with us now, stop making the master worry."

His words were sincere, and he appeared quite trustworthy.

"You're lying, I'm not going with you!"

The girl, upon hearing the man's words, shouted loudly and then turned her gaze to Lu Yu beside her, pleading: "Please, help me; I really don't know them, please."

Her words were filled with terror and fear, making her seem quite desperate.

The moment she spoke, the surrounding men turned their heads, fixating their gaze on Lu Yu, each with a glint in their eyes, hinting at intimidation.

"Excuse me, sir,"

Noticing Lu Yu, the man smiled slightly, speaking to Lu Yu with a laugh: "This is our young miss; she's too headstrong. Our master specially sent us to bring her back, really sorry for the trouble."

As an international metropolis, Lin'an City had numerous wealthy families, and the man's polite and courteous mannerisms didn't suggest any malice. To outsiders, the situation appeared as if they were merely fetching a rebellious young heiress.

While such a scene might seem normal to ordinary people, Lu Yu thought otherwise.

Judging by the girl's demeanor alone, Lu Yu could tell that her panic and fear weren't feigned.

Moreover, even though the lean-faced man was polite and well-mannered, Lu Yu detected a hint of malice in the way he looked at the girl.

From these observations alone, Lu Yu concluded that the situation wasn't as simple as the man claimed.

After speaking, the man smiled at Lu Yu, then moved to grab the girl, whose large, beautiful eyes filled with fear as he reached out.

"Wait."

Seeing the scene unfold, Lu Yu calmly asked: "You say she's your young miss. May I ask which family in Lin'an City you belong to?"

"Su Family,"

Upon hearing Lu Yu's question, the man was momentarily stunned, then quickly replied, with a hint of unease in his words.

"Su Family?"

Hearing the man's response, a smile appeared on Lu Yu's face. He shook his head and said: "I've lived in Lin'an City for twenty years, and I've never heard of a Su Family here!"

Being a native of Lin'an City, Lu Yu was well acquainted with its wealthy families, and in his memory, there had never been a Su Family in Lin'an City!

"You might have remembered wrong, young man,"

Despite Lu Yu's words, the lean-faced man didn't seem angry. Approaching Lu Yu slowly, he smiled and said: "Perhaps, if you think it over, you might recall?"

As he spoke, Lu Yu felt something pressing against his abdomen. Looking down, he saw a black gun pointed at him, with the lean-faced man smirking coldly.

Clearly, the man was threatening him!

"Kid, let me give you a piece of advice,"

At this moment, the man's smile grew wider, with a hint of ridicule in his tone as he looked at Lu Yu and whispered: "Life is short. Stick to what you can handle. Meddle too much, and you might not see the next sunrise!"

In his words, there was already a hint of killing intent, making it clear that this man was someone with blood on his hands.

Having said that, the man's smile became even brighter. He then locked his eyes on Lu Yu and asked: "Now, sir, do you remember?"

Though his smile seemed sincere, there was a clear undercurrent of menace!

Now, in his eyes, if Lu Yu dared utter even half a word of disagreement, he would not hesitate to pull the trigger!

"I'm really sorry,"

Hearing the man's words, Lu Yu's smile grew even wider. He shook his head and said: "I still can't recall any Su Family in Lin'an City!"

These words echoed loudly across the vast top floor of the Six Mansions Observation Tower, sounding exceedingly clear.
