Chapter 82: Greatly Shocked

Seeing the balance in her bank account, Liao Yanyan excitedly kissed Lin Yu and said gratefully, "Thank you, Brother Lin Yu, I should have come to find you sooner." Lin Yu smiled and told her to go home.

Subsequently, Lin Yu walked to Long Yiqing's car. At this moment, Long Yiqing was so scared he didn't dare to lift his head.

Immediately after, over a dozen luxury cars and police cars drove into Miao Street and stopped in front of Zhongcaotang.

Those who got out were all prominent big shots of Huacheng: Zheng Zemin of Zhenghe Pharmaceutical, the Hu brothers of Tianrun Wanjia, Jiang Yicheng of the Huacheng Capital, and Ma Yuanfeng of the Longcheng Capital, among others.

Even legendary figures like Zhao Taiheng and Long Wanshun appeared.

These big shots all walked toward Lin Yu with slightly awkward smiles on their faces.

At the same time, at the entrance of Miao Street, Liu Zhiming's car had just brushed past this motorcade. He immediately ordered the car to stop and, along with Han Fa, stared dumbfounded in the direction the motorcade had left. They recognized the identities represented by those license plates and were shocked beyond measure.

Just then, a Bentley drove past, and Han Fa was surprised to discover that it was Zhang Yuru's car.

Liu Zhiming asked Han Fa nervously, "These are all top-tier figures; do you dare to go back?"

Han Fa hesitated, as this was a rare opportunity.

Just as he was hesitating, Feng Yuanyuan called, warning him not to approach Miao Street.

Han Fa understood everything in an instant and pressed Feng Yuanyuan on whether she was with Zhang Yuru, but the other party didn't answer, only urging him repeatedly.

"Don't ask too much, just remember not to approach Miao Street under any circumstances."

Feng Yuanyuan had not accompanied Zhang Yuru; the one accompanying her was Li Lin.

Li Lin currently served as the Vice President of the Zhang Corporation, while Feng Yuanyuan was merely Zhang Yuru's private secretary.

She sensed a crisis: having once been one of the core members of the upper management, she was now gradually being excluded from the company's important decisions following Li Lin's arrival.

Feng Yuanyuan realized that not only Zhang Yuru but also other high-level executives of the Zhang Clan were intentionally or unintentionally marginalizing her.

This change made Feng Yuanyuan feel uneasy, so she sent a message to Han Fa: "Is there anyone beside you?"

Han Fa looked at Liu Zhiming beside him and replied, "Go ahead."

After confirming it was safe, Feng Yuanyuan issued instructions over the phone: "Prepare for action; we need to move ahead of schedule."

After the call ended, Han Fa immediately decided, "Evacuate immediately."

Although he didn't know exactly what had happened, the quick-witted Liu Zhiming promptly ordered the driver to drive away.

At the same time, in front of Zhongcaotang, Zheng Zemin hurried to Lin Yu and apologized sincerely, "Master Lin, I am sorry. I failed to educate my son properly. You can deal with him however you wish; I have no complaints."

Having said that, he noticed his son, Zheng Jiawei, rolling on the ground in pain, looking utterly disheveled.

"I really didn't expect to have such a useless son. It's too shameful. Why don't you just go die?"

However, with a look from Lin Yu, Xiao Chengzhou stepped forward to help lift the restriction on Zheng Jiawei.

After the pain vanished, Zheng Jiawei saw his father, and his consciousness became clear, "Dad, why are you here?"

Slap! No sooner had he spoken than Zheng Zemin gave his son a slap, the force of which sent Zheng Jiawei tumbling several meters away.

Zheng Zemin, having taken the Life-Prolonging Pill, not only had his physical condition greatly improved but also looked much younger.

This filled him with gratitude toward Lin Yu. Therefore, upon learning that his son had caused trouble again, Zheng Zemin was furious.

Especially since he had just had a dispute with his son-in-law, Jiang Yicheng, his mood was already poor, and this was like adding fuel to the fire.

Zheng Jiawei knew well that his father shouldn't have known about his mistakes and could only cover his face and endure it silently.

It wasn't until he saw his father bowing and apologizing to Lin Yu that he realized he had provoked someone he shouldn't have.

Lin Yu didn't waste words and pointed directly at the damaged door of Zhongcaotang, "President Zheng, you just need to help me fix the shop."

Zheng Zemin hurriedly agreed, "Master Lin, please rest assured, it will definitely be restored to its original state before dawn." Then he grabbed Zheng Jiawei by the ear and scolded, "Get into the car, see how I deal with you."

At this moment, Jiang Yicheng stepped forward to mediate, "Father-in-law, Jiawei is still young after all, and mistakes are inevitable. Don't be too angry."

These words, however, made Zheng Zemin even more annoyed, "He's nearly thirty, how can you still call him a child? I think his brain isn't clear."

Lin Yu watched this scene, scanned the thugs on the ground, and instructed Xiao Chengzhou, "Old Xiao, have your men take all these guys away."

Subsequently, Lin Yu turned to the crowd and said, "Everyone, please move to my shop to discuss in detail."

A few minutes later, the backyard living room of the doorless Zhongcaotang was filled with the most influential figures in Huacheng. Everyone's eyes were focused on Lin Yu, who was brewing tea.

Zhao Taiheng urged impatiently, "Time is pressing, stop brewing tea."

Lin Yu interrupted him, "Although the location is fixed, people can respond flexibly; although the Feng Shui array is fixed, the methods can be adapted."

As he spoke, he placed a cup of tea in front of everyone and continued, "The Nine Dragons Sailing to Sea Formation was a foundational layout established a hundred years ago by a famous Feng Shui master and a great man.

Nine cities along the southeast coast were chosen as the dragon heads, and Huacheng is the head of the first dragon among these nine. Therefore, all nine dragon head locations, including Huacheng, have a Miao Street.

And the Miao Street of Huacheng was rebuilt from the old Miao Street of the Ming and Qing dynasties."

Several elderly men nearing eighty listened to Lin Yu's explanation and fell into deep thought.

They recalled the excitement they felt when they heard the secret of the Nine Dragon Array in their youth.

Today, the country is prosperous and strong, just as the Nine Dragon Array predicted.

Thus, Zhao Taiheng nodded in agreement, "So, the Miao Street of Huacheng must never be demolished."

Long Wanshun and Zheng Zemin also expressed their agreement, and no one raised any objections.

However, as the leader of Huacheng, Jiang Yicheng felt it was extremely tricky.

Previously, voices opposing the demolition of Miao Street were constant, but now an important figure supported the demolition, putting Jiang Yicheng in a dilemma.

To find a solution, Zheng Zemin invited Elder Zhao and Long Wanshun to participate in this secret talk.

However, Jiang Yicheng felt puzzled as to why this matter had to be discussed with the young Lin Yu at Zhongcaotang.

A group of senior figures finding a young man to discuss such an important matter—what kind of result could they possibly get?

Jiang Yicheng spoke slowly, "Actually, this afternoon, Cabinet Grand Secretary Hong called me, and he agreed to the demolition of Miao Street."

As soon as this was said, the whole room fell silent; clearly, everyone was shocked by this news.

Before this, Jiang Yicheng had never revealed this to anyone.

Looking at the shocked expressions of the people around him, Jiang Yicheng had an idea: if things really didn't go smoothly, he would apply to be transferred to another city to serve.

His gaze fell on Lin Yu, thinking, "You young man, you must be scared out of your wits hearing the name Cabinet Grand Secretary Hong."

Indeed, Lin Yu had a look of surprise and stood there stunned for quite a while.

However, what happened next shocked everyone once again. ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
