Chapter 508: You Are Truly Hypocritical

"What do you mean, Chen Yu? Does my business have anything to do with you? I advise you not to be a busybody." Zhang Qiang was furious; Chen Yu's words were truly heart-piercing.

"I really don't want to be a busybody; I just can't stand that hypocritical look of yours. That group of thugs just now was brought here by you, right?" Chen Yu sneered. "Giving Xueqing a hard time, and then you come out to play the hero saving the beauty? To turn around the image you have in her heart?"

"Zhang Qiang, is this true?" He Xueqing's expression changed. If this were true, then the other party was simply too disgusting.

"You're spouting nonsense! Xueqing, don't listen to his gibberish. How could I be that kind of person?" Zhang Qiang panicked slightly. "I just happened to be passing by here."

"Is that so? 'Happened to be passing by here'?" Chen Yu laughed. "This is the West Third Ring. Your home is in the East District. What are you doing running dozens of kilometers over here? Taking a stroll?"

"Besides, someone like you who thinks so highly of yourself in your bones, how could you possibly come to a place like this that isn't particular about anything to eat? How about it? Do you want me to call that thug back right now and ask clearly?"

"I know him; I'll have him come back immediately," Chen Biao said, taking out his phone to call Gou Ge back.

"Chen Yu, people who are busybodies don't live long." Zhang Qiang's expression changed drastically. Chen Yu was right; that person was indeed brought here by him.

But Chen Yu had easily seen through his ruse. Now, if Gou Zi were really called back, his cover would be blown.

"I'm not being a busybody; I just can't stand this hypocritical look of yours," Chen Yu said coldly. "Zhang Qiang, I don't understand where that sense of superiority coming from your bones comes from, but I really want to tell you: in my eyes, you aren't even worth a fart."

"You..." Zhang Qiang was furious.

"Zhang Qiang, you really are disgusting." He Xueqing finally understood what was going on. She said coldly, "I'll warn you one more time: stay away from me in the future."

"Xueqing, I didn't mean it. I just like you too much; I wanted to use this method to win you back," Zhang Qiang argued.

"Enough. We never even started, so don't talk about winning anything back. Thank you for taking care of my mother at the hospital, but please don't disturb my life again." He Xueqing left this cold sentence behind and turned to leave.

"Xueqing, don't go! I was really wrong. Please give me one more chance." Zhang Qiang was anxious, but no matter how he shouted, He Xueqing never looked back once.

"Save your energy. This girl isn't the kind of person you think she is," Chen Yu said, looking at Zhang Qiang with some sympathy.

Originally, this guy's conditions were not bad: high education, a Ning City household registration, and a house of his own. He could show off his high-and-mighty sense of superiority just like most people from Ning City.

But he treated He Xueqing like those worldly girls; he could only blame himself for being blind. This girl had shining qualities that those ordinary people couldn't compare to.

"Chen Yu, why do you have to be a busybody?" Zhang Qiang turned his head and looked at Chen Yu angrily.

"I'm being a busybody, so what?" Chen Yu laughed.

"Fine, you just wait. Sooner or later, you will regret this." Zhang Qiang gave Chen Yu a hateful look and left, gritting his teeth.

"Kid, is your skin itching?" Chen Biao, who was to the side, couldn't stand it anymore. He stepped forward to take action, but was stopped by Chen Yu.

"That's enough. He's just a small fry; he can't stir up much trouble," Chen Yu said. "You pay more attention lately. Any plans can wait until you've recovered."

"Understood, President Chen." Chen Biao nodded.

The next day, Chen Yu arrived at the hotel early in the morning. He Lingyun and Mu Xi were already prepared to head out.

"Xiao Yu, you're here?" He Lingyun's mood improved suddenly when she saw Chen Yu. "Today I'm going to the Yalong Group to see Zhou Jihai. Come with me."

"Alright." Chen Yu had exactly that intention, so he got into the car with He Lingyun.

"Sister, I used my informants below to check, and the Corpse Controlling Clan has been in contact with some people in Shengjing." In the stretched luxury car, Mu Xi poured a cup of coffee and handed it to He Lingyun.

"What kind of people in Shengjing?" He Lingyun took the coffee and asked.

"It hasn't been fully clarified yet, but it's almost certain that it's the work of the He Family," Mu Xi said.

"Hmm, the He Family..." He Lingyun's expression was complex. She sighed slightly. "Should I relinquish my power?"

"If you relinquish your power, the He Family members will only become more unscrupulous," Mu Xi sighed and said. "As long as you hold the reins of the He Family and interact frequently with the higher-ups, the direct descendants of the He Family will have some reservations; at the very least, they won't dare to make a move openly."

"If you truly relinquish your power, even if you don't intend to take a single thread or needle from the He Family, they will still fear your comeback. When that time comes, without that layer of protection from above, what do you think the consequences will be?"

"Then what should I do?" He Lingyun fell into silence. "Must this path be walked until death?"

Mu Xi said nothing. He Lingyun now held a high position, managing the He Group, and her brothers and sisters from her maiden family were all eyeing her position covetously.

They had even used every means possible to force her to abdicate and give up her power, but if she really gave it up, even greater dangers would await her.

Chen Yu glanced at He Lingyun. His expression was complex. The He Family was an Aristocratic Family, and He Lingyun managing the He Group seemed to be nothing more than superficial glory.

The dangers she suffered in secret were not something an ordinary person could imagine.

Chen Yu had already secretly made up his mind: later, if he clarified his relationship with her, regardless of whether she was his relative or not, he would protect her safety.

"Alright, let's go see Zhou Jihai first. I just want to find out where my child went back then. Even if he really died... his remains should at least have a place to rest." He Lingyun closed her eyes, looking somewhat exhausted.

Yalong Group, President's Office.

Zhou Jihai was in his forties. As the head of a listed company ranked in the top ten in Ning City, Zhou Jihai gave people the impression of being a refined and courteous person.

He received He Lingyun and her party warmly and expressed a strong intention to cooperate with the He Group.

"Ms. He, when my father was alive, he often mentioned his old superior, who is your father, Mr. He," Zhou Jihai smiled. "He always said that Elder He was the number one person in Huaxia's genetic research."

"It's a pity that Elder He passed away too early. If he could have lived until now, our genetic technology would definitely be leading the world."

"President Zhou, I feel deep regret that I couldn't see Elder Zhou this time. When Elder Zhou worked in Shengjing, he took very good care of my father. It's truly a pity that I couldn't see him one last time," He Lingyun sighed.

"President He, my father often said that the He Family's kindness to our Zhou Family is as heavy as a mountain," Zhou Jihai sighed and said. "Without the inspiration and help of Elder He, our Zhou Clan Group's Yalong Group could never have reached this point today."

"And he also often used President He to educate me, saying that President He supporting the entire He Group with her own strength is truly an example I should learn from."

"Elder Zhou is really too kind. That the Yalong Group can reach where it is today is the result of the joint efforts of Elder Zhou and President Zhou," He Lingyun smiled. "Actually, I still have some things I'd like to ask President Zhou about today."
