Chapter 534: Identity

~7 min read 1,369 words

"This... I don't know, but recently they seem to have been up to something; they are building something inside a mountain cave, and there are Fusang people appearing," the bodyguard said, bowing his body.

"What did you say? Fusang people?" Li Meng raised his head, a strange glint flashing in his eyes: "What is the identity of these Fusang people?"

"It is said to be a famous technology company, Shenyuan," the bodyguard said: "I only know this much; the rest hasn't been investigated clearly yet."

"Hmm, continue to investigate." Li Meng nodded, then he said bitterly: "Thirty percent... they really dare to ask for it. I just suspended the status of one of their Witch Clan Outer Sect Disciples, and they dare to open their mouths like a lion?"

"Manager Meng, Wuming is not an ordinary person," one bodyguard cautiously reminded him.

"Go prepare the money and take it to him," Li Meng's face changed repeatedly, but in the end, he said helplessly.

There was no help for it; complaining was one thing, but he was, after all, still relying on the Witch Clan to survive. Since he had chosen this path back then, he now had to accept the other party's rules; this was a principle that would never change.

In a high-end club private room.

Zhou Jimin was surrounded by women, his private room was full of beauties and a group of drinking buddies, and bottles of red wine costing ten thousand a bottle were piled all over the floor.

Although Zhou Jimin was getting on in years, in this club, he was still the legendary king of nightlife, and his annual spending at this club exceeded ten million.

He was generous and spent money readily, so the girls in the club all liked to lean on him.

"Tonight's expenses are on Boss Zhou," someone in the private room shouted, and a burst of cheers immediately followed.

A group of people surrounded Zhou Jimin, flattering him, when at this moment, the door of the private room opened and Chen Yu walked in.

He walked forward, turned off the music in the private room, and turned on the indoor lights.

"Who turned on the lights? What are you doing?" A group of disheveled men and women huddled together were startled; they hurriedly let go of each other, stood up, and straightened their clothes.

"Everyone, get out," Chen Yu said indifferently: "Zhou Jimin stays."

"Where the hell did you come from, you bastard? You dare to address my Brother Zhou by his name?" A troublemaker grabbed a wine bottle and walked toward Chen Yu.

But with a tightening of his hand, the wine bottle in his hand fell into Chen Yu's hand.

Chen Yu gripped the wine bottle in his hand and methodically pried the bottle apart with his hand, bit by bit.

Snap, snap, the wine bottle was broken into pieces of glass of uniform size. Chen Yu flicked his hand, and with several whistling sounds, more than ten glass shards flew into the wall on the side, burying themselves entirely into the wall.

That troublemaker instantly lost his nerve; he stood in front of Chen Yu, both legs trembling.

Chen Yu said indifferently: "Zhou Jimin stays, everyone else out."

At this, no one dared to voice any opposition anymore; the men and women in the room all stood up, disheveled, and ran out in a single file.

These people were fine for drinking and having fun, but when they really encountered something, they ran faster than anyone; so-called fair-weather friends were nothing more than this.

"It's you?" Zhou Jimin was startled when he saw Chen Yu, and he stood up abruptly.

But Chen Yu pushed him back onto the sofa. Chen Yu smiled: "Meeting the savior of your daughter, isn't it a bit inappropriate to be in such a hurry to run? Won't you invite me for a drink?"

"You..." Zhou Jimin's expression changed; her daughter was a classmate of Li Bei's daughter, and the two had a good relationship.

Last time, because they played a spirit-summoning game together, they provoked an evil spirit, and it was Chen Yu who stepped in to resolve it; how could he not recognize Chen Yu?

"Don't be in such a hurry to put on that playboy act of yours. Your brother is Zhou Jihai, the chairman of Yalong Group, and you hold a portion of Yalong Group's shares."

Chen Yu said: "Your usual eating, drinking, and playing are all an act. In fact, your emotional intelligence is very high, and your overseas assets are enough for you to live a carefree life."

"Last time, Wang Yiyun was your mistress, and her daughter is your daughter. You claim to the outside world that you are a proponent of non-marriage, never marrying or having children in your life, but privately you have an illegitimate daughter, and you have never publicized it."

"What is so strange about this? My brother is the president of Yalong Group; his younger brother having an illegitimate daughter is, after all, not something that can see the light of day." Zhou Jimin steadied himself; it seemed Chen Yu's investigation into him was very detailed, and denying it would be useless.

He did not understand what Chen Yu meant, but since the other party had come, he could only take the challenge.

"Is that so? Are you afraid of smearing your brother's reputation, or are you afraid that if Zhou Jihai found out you had a daughter, you wouldn't even be able to protect this last remaining bloodline?" Chen Yu said grimly.

"Who exactly are you? What exactly do you want to do?" Zhou Jimin's eyes turned red, and a suppressed roar came from his throat.

"Let me introduce myself. My name is Chen Yu, a person who was abandoned days after birth. Just a few days ago, I found my biological mother," Chen Yu said indifferently.

"Then congratulations." Zhou Jimin looked at Chen Yu, puzzled, not understanding what he was trying to do.

"My mother is He Lingyun, the daughter of your father Zhou Cheng'en's old leader, the late Shengjing biological genetic research scholar He Tiansheng," Chen Yu said.

"You are He Lingyun's son?" Zhou Jimin understood instantly; Chen Yu did not need to continue, he already knew Chen Yu's intention.

"When my father passed away, he didn't leave behind anything about those years. It's useless for you to look for me." The expression on Zhou Jimin's face was uncertain.

"I didn't come to you for that matter." Chen Yu smiled: "You bought a plane ticket and transferred your assets, planning to go abroad?"

Chen Yu's words made Zhou Jimin's face turn pale: "Why did you investigate me?"

"I didn't investigate you, I just took note of you. You are clearly a very capable person; why do you pretend to be ignorant and incompetent in front of your elder brother Zhou Jihai?"

"He controls Yalong Group and is in a high position with great power. I must act this way so he won't notice me," Zhou Jimin said grimly.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple." Chen Yu stared at Zhou Jimin and said: "Your recent movements have been very frequent; it's clear you are planning to run away. What are you afraid of?"

"Chen Yu, my affairs have nothing to do with you." Zhou Jimin's face turned even paler.

"It does. You know your brother has a problem," Chen Yu said: "I have seen him twice. Although he is not yet fifty, the feeling he gives me is that of a twilight-aged old man of at least eighty."

"You, how did you know that?" Zhou Jimin looked at Chen Yu in disbelief.

"I am a Yisheng, a practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine, and I also have secrets of my own. I understand the Heaven, Earth, and Five Elements, and I can measure Life and observe Appearance. The strength I displayed when saving your daughter that day was merely the tip of the iceberg," Chen Yu said grimly: "Tell me everything about your brother Zhou Jihai, everything."

Zhou Jimin fell silent. His lips moved several times, wanting to say something, but in the end, he still did not speak.
