~7 min read 1,377 words

After listening to Wu Su's words, Lin Yu turned to Zhou Yuanli and said: "Prefect, Wu Su just mentioned that the ones who kidnapped Zhou Min were Neon people."

Zhou Yuanli was furious upon hearing this and confirmed cautiously: "Wu Su isn't joking, are you sure?"

Wu Su explained while supporting himself: "I am very sure, I tore open one person's clothes and saw the 'Prajna Tattoo' unique to Neon country societies, and they were speaking Neon language."

Hearing this, Zhou Yuanli immediately notified Jiang Yicheng, the Prefect of Huacheng, and called the garrison major to demand a full-scale search.

And Wu Su looked at Lin Yu gratefully: "Thank you for saving me, otherwise I would probably have been dead long ago."

Lin Yu asked suspiciously: "Weren't you unconscious?"

Wu Su revealed a confident smile and answered: "I knew in my heart how serious my injury was. But I feel much better now, it must be you who saved me. Thank you."

Lin Yu teased him with a smile: "What are you thanking me for, little black fatty."

Wu Su was stunned, then laughed, and said weakly: "You are Brother Lin."

"Lin Yu, get out here." A roar interrupted their conversation.

Without waiting for Lin Yu to respond, Zhang Yuru had already rushed into the hotel, headed straight for Lin Yu, and gave him a slap.

But Lin Yu quickly grabbed her wrist and asked back: "What have I offended you with again?"

Zhang Yuru broke free, her eyes red, and pointed at him trembling all over: "Shameless bastard, it was you who called the mental hospital and took my parents away."

Lin Yu recalled the incident where Li Xueying and Zhang Yongling caused trouble at Zhongcaotang and were taken away after being mistaken for mental patients, and explained: "This has nothing to do with me, and they are not mental patients, they should be released after explaining the situation."

However, this sentence made Zhang Yuru even more angry: "How can you prove you are not a mental patient? Do you know what my parents have experienced? Electrotherapy, now they don't even recognize me."

At this time, Li Xueying, who had just come downstairs, interjected: "They deserve it, actually daring to bully Master Lin and wanting to take advantage of Master Lin. Such shameless people, if they aren't crazy, what are they?"

Also coming down was Hua Yan, who had come to inquire about the news of Zhou Yuanli's son being kidnapped.

Hua Qianyu also stood up to support Lin Yu: "Brother Lin Yu is a good person and shouldn't be bullied by you. The Zhang family is truly shameless, wanting to get benefits from Lin Yu after the divorce."

Facing the accusations of the crowd, Zhang Yuru was so angry she couldn't speak, just pointing at Lin Yu and saying "You" for a long time.

Finally, Zhou Yuanli came forward to stop it: "Enough, if there is nothing else, please leave. Regarding the demolition of Miao Street, I can tell you clearly that Miao Street is a cultural relic protection unit and can only be renovated, not demolished."

Zhang Yuru felt incomparably frustrated after hearing this; everything was not going smoothly, and her parents had been mistakenly sent to a mental hospital.

In her heart, the root cause of all this trouble was Lin Yu.

Now seeing Chu Yueyun and Hua Qianyu standing beside Lin Yu, the anger in Zhang Yuru's heart was even more intense.

Why could Lin Yu live a prosperous life after the divorce, while she was hitting walls everywhere?

Finally, she stared fiercely at Lin Yu and said: "The account between us hasn't been settled yet, just wait and see."

Lin Yu called out to Zhang Yuru who was about to leave, and reminded: "Zhang Yuru, after all, we were once husband and wife, I must warn you, stop the cooperation with Hanfang Group immediately..."

But Zhang Yuru didn't look back and interrupted him: "I don't need you to worry about my business."

Then she left in anger, only then noticing the police cars all over the street outside.

Learning that a major event had happened in Huacheng, Zhou Yuanli's son had been kidnapped.

After learning this news from everyone's discussion, Zhang Yuru hurriedly called Yuzao Huimei.

"Do you know? Zhou Yuanli's son was kidnapped." Zhang Yuru said urgently after the call was connected.

However, the other party answered calmly: "I know, do you think I did it?"

Zhang Yuru was startled, and it took a long time before she responded: "No, I just think this is an opportunity to find him."

But Huimei interrupted her and said sarcastically: "What if you find him? Expect Zhou Yuanli to agree to the demolition of Miao Street because of gratitude? Don't dream, he won't agree."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Yuru sat in the car and fell into deep thought. She began to understand Lin Yu's previous warning, but she still found it hard to believe that a big company like Hanfang Pharmaceutical would participate in such a thing.

"Don't use people you suspect, don't suspect people you use," she said to herself in a low voice, her eyes drifting toward the police cars speeding past outside the window.

At the same time, in the hotel, Lin Yu watched Wu Su being sent to the ambulance and prepared to say goodbye. He said to Zhou Yuanli: "I can't help much here, I'm leaving."

Zhou Yuanli's attitude toward Lin Yu had changed, and he responded with a smile: "Thank you for saving Wu Su, after the matter is over, I will reward you well."

When walking out of the hotel, Lin Yu saw two cars parked outside the door, Chu Yueyun and Hua Qianyu were poking their heads out from inside the cars, competing to invite him into their cars.

"Brother Lin Yu is mine, you are not allowed to grab him." One said.

"I also like him and want to marry him! If you are my best friend, don't make trouble." The other retorted.

Watching the two arguing, Lin Yu shook his head helplessly: "Today, neither of you is allowed to return to Miao Street."

Chu Yueyun didn't understand the meaning and asked angrily: "You don't want me to live there, you want to drive me away?"

Hua Qianyu suddenly thought of something, jumped out of the car quickly, and handed the key to Lin Yu. She said with lingering fear: "My god, almost forgot, today is the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month."

Chu Yueyun was confused and continued to ask: "What's wrong with the fifteenth day of the seventh lunar month? Is Miao Street haunted?"

Hua Qianyu joked: "If you are not afraid, follow Brother Lin back, but if I go to see you tomorrow, I might have to go to the mental hospital to find you."

The frightened Chu Yueyun didn't dare to ask anymore, and Lin Yu couldn't be bothered to explain, so he got into Hua Qianyu's car and left.

The unwilling Chu Yueyun chased and asked: "You dead girl, what exactly is going on?"

Hua Qianyu smiled playfully and answered: "If you want to know, don't block the door here, come back to the room with me and chat."

With a skeptical attitude, Chu Yueyun got out of the car, and the two returned to the room together.

On the other side, Lin Yu returned to Miao Street, but he didn't park the car in the parking lot of Miao Street, but chose to park two streets away, and then walked back.

"Xuanmen Ghost Market, outsiders keep out." He whispered to himself.

Standing at the intersection, the street in front of him was empty, but as soon as he turned the corner and passed through the archway, it immediately became bustling.

This was the Miao Street Ghost Market, which had a history of four hundred years since the end of the Ming Dynasty.

Because the residents here were mostly mysterious people living in seclusion in the mountains, they were not bound by secular laws, so ordinary people entering here often faced danger.

Although there had been some regulations in recent years, there were still many intruders who were sent to mental hospitals. ===== CHAPTER 91 =====
