Lin Yu raced wildly in the car for more than ten kilometers before finally returning to the villa halfway up the mountain.
As the car door opened, he stepped out, but at this moment the adrenaline had subsided, and his whole body ached terribly.
He had originally wanted to hurry into the villa, but instead he collapsed headfirst in the villa yard.
Earlier at the hotel, his nose bridge had already been smashed by those from the Ancient Martial World with a small dining table.
Now he had another intimate encounter with the ground, and the pain made Lin Yu cover his nose and grin.
Seeing his sorry state now, Lin Yu hated to skin Gu Chenan alive.
Not only did you oppose me at every turn in Donghai, but you actually chased me to Suhang as well?
Not only did you take away Xiao Yajie, who I was about to obtain, but you also set me up in such a sorry state.
If I, Lin Yu, don't avenge this, then I'm not human!
Just then, Old Dao in the villa saw Lin Yu crawling outside and thought Lin Yu was happily practicing crawling to celebrate dealing with Gu Chenan.
"Mr. Lin, practicing this is useless, isn't it?" Old Dao called out, opening the window.
"I...I'll practice your mother! Hurry...hurry and help me in..."
Lin Yu's mouth opened and closed. He had originally wanted Old Dao to quickly help him in, but his injuries were too severe, and the sounds from his mouth were only audible to himself.
Seeing that Lin Yu didn't speak, Old Dao shouted again, "How is it, Mr. Lin? Have you gotten rid of Gu Chenan?"
Lin Yu paused and gritted his teeth.
"Strange, why isn't Mr. Lin speaking? Is he practicing that attentively?"
Old Dao grew suspicious and finally pushed open the door and walked out.
When he came to Lin Yu, he was shocked to see Lin Yu's face covered in blood stains, his clothes tattered, and his body covered in dust.
"Mr. Lin, what happened, Mr. Lin?"
He quickly helped Lin Yu up and into the villa.
After settling Lin Yu down, Old Dao called for Fang Jie to treat Lin Yu.
After Fang Jie's medical attention, Lin Yu's injuries gradually stabilized.
According to the examination, his nose bridge was shattered, his ribs, forearms, and leg bones all had fractures of varying degrees.
Even with someone of Fang Jie's superb medical skills, it would take a couple months of recuperation to fully recover.
Lin Yu's whole body was wrapped in thick gauze, with only his nose and ears exposed, lying on the bed in the room like a mummy, staring at the ceiling with a gloomy expression.
Through today's events, he finally understood that his plan to develop in Suhang and then turn his spearhead back to conquer Donghai again was unrealistic.
The unrealistic point was this Gu Chenan!
This useless playboy who didn't go after girls actually studied military strategy!
He even knew how to set traps!
Whether it was in Donghai or Suhang, if he wanted to expand his power, the first thing he had to do was get rid of Gu Chenan!
Otherwise, all good things would be ruined by this Gu Chenan!
"Mr. Lin, how do you feel?" At this time, Old Dao walked in and asked with concern.
Lin Yu glanced at him and said indifferently, "Not bad, won't die."
Old Dao nodded, then continued to ask, "Then what should we do next? All the brothers in Suhang didn't come back, and now we are very understaffed."
"The headquarters has been urging us too. If we can't get rid of the Xiao family head, it will be hard to explain to the headquarters."
Earlier, he had advised Lin Yu to make a move on Xiao Jian first, but Lin Yu insisted on getting rid of Gu Chenan first.
Now wasn't this nice, the entire Suhang branch was wiped out!
Lin Yu thought for a moment and said, "Have Ms. Hoshino come to Suhang. With Gu Chenan in Suhang, there is not much point in her staying guard in Qianmo."
Old Dao was surprised. "Mr. Lin, Ms. Hoshino is our superior. It's probably inappropriate for us to ask Ms. Hoshino to carry out tasks for us. Besides, why would Ms. Hoshino listen to us?"
Lin Yu snorted contemptuously, arrogantly saying, "Don't worry, just say I said so. She will definitely help us."
"Understood." Old Dao felt dubious, but still nodded.
...
Donghai, Su City International.
On the twenty-third floor conference room.
Su Qianmo was in a meeting with a group of directors in the conference room, while Hoshino Kannon lay on the corridor outside the conference room, one hand propping up her chin, completely bored.
Just two days after Gu Chenan left Donghai for Suhang, Hoshino Kannon was like someone suffering from lovesickness, with nothing but the scene in Gu Chenan's room at that time occupying her mind.
She was certain Gu Chenan liked her.
But according to her previous plan, once Gu Chenan fell for her, she would kill Gu Chenan.
This was her usual style.
But she didn't know why, she now had absolutely no intention of killing Gu Chenan.
On the contrary, all she could think about was Gu Chenan protecting her.
At this moment, Hoshino Kannon's phone rang.
She picked it up and saw it was a call from Suhang, so she quickly walked into the stairwell to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Ms. Hoshino, this is Old Dao." Old Dao's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"What's the matter?"
"It's like this. Today Mr. Lin took the killers from the Suhang branch to kill Gu Chenan, but unexpectedly fell into Gu Chenan's trap. The entire killing force of the Suhang branch was wiped out."
"Right now we are understaffed, but headquarters has been urging us to kill Xiao Jian. Mr. Lin said..."
When he got to this point, Old Dao hesitated for a moment, then continued, "...that you can help us kill Xiao Jian."
"Hm?" Hoshino Kannon raised her brows.
Lin Yu wants me to help him kill Xiao Jian?
Does he think too highly of himself?
Besides, I'm one of the Twelve Owls, the superior of the Suhang branch. I have no reason to carry out tasks for you.
Have you ever seen someone from your department go straight to the department manager for help completing tasks that you couldn't finish yourself?
Ridiculous!
Hoshino Kannon was about to coldly refuse Old Dao, but at that moment, her beautiful eyes suddenly lit up.
Gu Chenan is in Suhang. If I go to Suhang, won't I be able to see him?
Thinking of this, Hoshino Kannon pursed her lips and said, "I understand, I'll go to Suhang tomorrow."
Hearing this, Old Dao gratefully said, "Thank you Ms. Hoshino, I'm really very grateful."
After hanging up the phone, Old Dao quickly walked from the main hall into Lin Yu's room.
He excitedly said, "Mr. Lin, Ms. Hoshino said she is coming to Suhang tomorrow!"
"I see."
Lin Yu's expression was indifferent as he nodded. He wasn't very excited. He believed Hoshino Kannon would do as he said.
At the same time, Hoshino Kannon walked out of the stairwell.
She stood in the corridor, holding her cheeks with both hands, blushing with an enchanted smile.
"Young Master Gu, I'm coming to find you~”
...
"Achoo!"
Gu Chenan, who had just parked his car in the Gu family manor, suddenly let out a sneeze.
He frowned.
[What's going on, this doesn't feel right. Is something going to happen again?]
