Chapter 145: Great Honor

He had made too many concessions today and felt very unhappy, but the moment he saw Zhang Yuru, the anger in his heart instantly dissipated, and he took the initiative to strike up a conversation with her.

Lin Yu looked at Zhang Yuru curiously, not understanding how they had come to know each other.

However, he was in a hurry to leave now, worried that some accident might happen in Miao Street, because Gongsan Pingbalang's compromise had been too sudden, which made one suspicious.

Lin Yu had a premonition that Miao Street would not be peaceful tonight.

Sure enough, starting from the evening, the Public Security Bureau received multiple emergency reports regarding Miao Street, including murder cases, brawls, robbery-homicides, and even fires.

Yang Yuhua led the public security team to start patrolling early, and during this time, he also discovered that people from the Rong Sect were patrolling the night as well.

Clearly, a major event was about to occur here.

At the same time, several Black-Clad Men in the dark corners of Miao Street were quietly withdrawing. After getting into a van waiting outside, the leading Black-Clad Man dialed a phone number.

At the banquet, Gongsan Pingbalang received the call, politely apologized to Zhang Yuru, and walked to the window to answer it, a cold sneer appearing in his eyes: "You have done well; you may leave."

After hanging up the phone, Gongsan Pingbalang stared at Miao Street in the night.

Just then, Lin Yu suddenly felt a strange fluctuation emanating from Gongsan Pingbalang, followed by a crisp snapping of fingers, and a golden pillar of light instantly shot into the sky, illuminating the entire Huacheng.

Lin Yu's heart tightened: "Not good."

Gongsan Pingbalang frowned, staring at the dazzling golden pillar of light, and muttered to himself: "What on earth is going on?"

At this very moment, the entire Huacheng was as bright as day. Through the large glass windows of the banquet hall, everyone witnessed this strange sight: a golden pillar of light piercing the clouds had appeared out of thin air.

Meanwhile, in Maiyi Lane of Miao Street, Liu Jinyong was having dinner with a beautiful woman.

The sudden anomaly caused his expression to change drastically. The stunningly beautiful woman opposite him looked askance at the sky and said coldly: "This is the Seven Luminaries Fusang. Lin Zhongyou actually dares to cast a spell array near Miao Street; he is truly daring and reckless."

Liu Jinyong snorted coldly: "He hasn't even mastered the 'Severing the Connection Between Heaven and Earth,' yet he wants to show off with just some disorganized spells."

Hearing this, the beautiful woman chuckled: "Fortunately, Master Feng and the Six Ren Star Official have set up a great array outside, otherwise this Seven Luminaries Fusang would likely wreak havoc within Miao Street."

Having said that, Liu Jinyong put down his chopsticks and formed a seal with one hand, pointing toward the sky.

With a loud boom, a bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, striking the golden pillar of light, and the night was instantly restored.

However, as the thunder sounded, Liu Jinyong's body swayed, and a mouthful of fresh blood sprayed onto the table.

"What a pity for the meal Erniang carefully prepared." Liu Jinyong wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

This beautiful woman was none other than the only female member of the Six Thieves of Xuanmen, the Ghost Chef Feng Erniang.

"By doing this, you are effectively leaking heavenly secrets and inviting a heavenly tribulation. Although you can injure the enemy, you yourself have also suffered heavy damage. If it weren't for the protection of Maiyi Lane, you would likely be hanging by a thread right now."

Unexpectedly, Liu Jinyong waved his hand dismissively, grabbed Feng Erniang's hand, and said: "How could it be as powerful as your Six Ren Talisman, Erniang? You are over a hundred years old, yet still as beautiful as a young girl."

Feng Erniang pushed his hand away and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth with a pained expression: "You, you're already like this and still won't behave."

At this time, in the banquet hall of the Jiutian Building, everyone was full of praise for the strange sight before them.

Suddenly, rolling thunder came from the sky, as if giant boulders were falling from above.

The entire hall trembled from the thunder, and at the same time, a brilliant bolt of lightning shattered the pillar of light. Standing in front of the glass, Gongsan Pingbalang was trembling with rage, and strange purple light flickered in his eyes.

Using his Heavenly Eye, Lin Yu observed that the purple radiance behind his head was abnormally eerie, and the radiance took the shape of a giant butterfly with its wings spread.

What surprised Lin Yu even more was that amidst the thunder, he saw a giant dragon break through the firmament and pierce straight into the golden pillar of light.

"What exactly just happened?"

"I don't know either."

"Did something explode somewhere?"

"It wouldn't be Miao Street, would it?"

Hearing the whispers of the people around him, Lin Yu's heartbeat could not help but quicken.

At this moment, he finally understood why Gongsan Pingbalang had invited the few remaining households of Miao Street to attend the banquet.

It turned out that the other party had long since laid out a chess game, planning to use extreme measures to completely clear those places!

Without time to think, Lin Yu immediately ordered in a loud voice: "Yanyan, Huzi, hurry and call your parents."

After Liao Yanyan reacted, her eyes instantly turned red.

The disputes over demolition had been making a huge stir these past few days, and she had heard about them. Wang Sufen had once told her: "If one day I am no longer here, you follow Lin Yu. Even if he doesn't accept you, you must hold onto him tightly, do you hear me?"

Therefore, when she heard that an explosion might have occurred in Miao Street, Liao Yanyan worried that her mother had already met with misfortune. However, once the call connected and she heard her mother's voice, she finally felt relieved.

Wu Xiong was the same, and he also called Duan Jing.

After confirming that his family was safe and sound, Lin Yu said to the three ladies beside him in a fit of rage:

"Gu Yuanyuan, Kou Ya, Meng Yang, no matter the cost, you must secure all real estate projects including Shenshe Jie; not a single one can be allowed to fall into the hands of other companies."

The three responded in unison: "As you command, Pavilion Master."

Subsequently, led by Gu Yuanyuan, they walked toward the VIP table. After a conversation with Jiang Yicheng, Jiang Yicheng was deeply attracted by her proposal.

Immediately after, Jiang Yicheng took the initiative to walk onto the stage and announce: "Everyone, there is an important piece of news to announce to you all, regarding the future super-project of the Environmental Industrial Park."

Once these words were spoken, the entire venue quieted down from the previous discussion about the daylight spectacle, and eyes focused on Jiang Yicheng on the stage.

Even Gongsan Pingbalang, who was burning with rage, temporarily suppressed his emotions, wanting to hear what Jiang Yicheng had to say.

Jiang Yicheng was seen smiling as he said: "The Environmental Industrial Park will be a major event that will affect Huacheng for the next few decades, or even a century. Only after communicating with General Manager Gu of the Third Bureau of Huaxia Railway did I realize how shallow my own ideas were."

Before he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the venue suddenly became tense; everyone seemed to smell the scent of a conspiracy.

Yuzao Huimei looked at Gongsan Pingbalang with worry, wanting to use her eyes to signal him to change the subject. But Jiang Yicheng did not give her the chance and continued:

"After in-depth discussions with General Manager Gu of the Third Bureau of Huaxia Railway, we have reached a preliminary intention for cooperation.

The Huacheng Government will join forces with the Third Construction Bureau of Huaxia Railway, the General Bureau of Huaxia New Energy Construction, and the Fourth Branch of the Huaxia Construction Group to jointly establish the Huachuan Construction Group, which will be responsible for the development work of the entire Huacheng Environmental Industrial Park."

These remarks shocked everyone; they thought Jiang Yicheng was bragging.

One must know that these three construction enterprises were top-tier existences globally; being able to cooperate with just one of them was already a great honor, let alone all three joining forces.

With such a powerful alliance, how could ordinary developers compete with them?
