The next morning, early in the morning.
Gu Chenan walked out of the room and came to the main hall on the first floor for breakfast.
Since he had accepted Su Qianmo's feelings yesterday, he had already decided to make a move on Lin Yu.
Now that he was determined not to muddle through, this dangerous factor named Lin Yu had to be eliminated.
But Lin Yu was the protagonist of the novel after all. If Gu Chenan directly sent someone to kill Lin Yu, it would definitely not succeed.
Even if the people he sent were all about as strong as Ma Bing, it still wouldn't work.
These web novel protagonists all had maxed out luck values. No matter what danger they encountered, they could turn peril into safety, and even gain benefits from these events.
So sending assassins was obviously unrealistic.
But Gu Chenan could not take action against Lin Yu directly either, since Lin Yu was protected by the Way of Heaven.
Even if Gu Chenan's current strength was a hundred times that of Lin Yu, he would still be affected by the Way of Heaven when he was about to kill Lin Yu.
For example, if Gu Chenan now grabbed Lin Yu and tied him up tightly, then took out a dagger and stabbed towards Lin Yu's chest.
This seemingly hopeless situation still had a lot of room for maneuver.
For instance, just as Gu Chenan was about to stab Lin Yu, the ropes around Lin Yu suddenly broke, and Lin Yu took the opportunity to escape.
That would be the best case scenario. Who knows, maybe just as Gu Chenan was about to kill Lin Yu, the chandelier above their heads would suddenly fall down and crush Gu Chenan, leaving him half-dead.
There was also the most outrageous possibility that a bolt of lightning would shoot down from the sky without warning and strike Gu Chenan dead.
The point was, wanting to compete with Lin Yu was absolutely impossible through these kinds of means.
The only thing Gu Chenan could do was, like before, little by little poach the connections and resources that were supposed to belong to Lin Yu.
Eventually, completely eliminate any possibility of Lin Yu growing stronger.
However, Gu Chenan was rather puzzled by Lin Yu's current circumstances.
In the original plot, after Lin Yu won the championship in the Ye family's ancient martial arts competition, he became the focus of courting by several families in Donghai.
Plus, after Lin Yu had surprised everyone at Old Master Liu's birthday banquet, he thoroughly became a well-known figure in Donghai.
Later, after more interactions with the Black Owls, he provided much convenience for their operations in Donghai.
But now, Lin Yu was nothing. He was neither a champion nor was he being competed over by several families.
So what was he doing now?
Gu Chenan was very confused.
Thinking of this, he called over Ma Bing.
"Young Master Gu." Ma Bing came over quickly.
Gu Chenan swallowed a fried dough stick and said, "Do you still remember Lin Yu?"
Ma Bing nodded: "I remember, he's the idiot who fought with Young Master over Miss Su."
After speaking, Ma Bing's eyebrows twisted together, his eyes filled with killing intent, "Does Young Master want me to kill him?"
Ma Bing was extremely loyal to Gu Chenan. He would accomplish any order Gu Chenan gave him, even killing someone without batting an eye.
In the previous kidnapping Su Qianmo plotline, if Gu Chenan hadn't stopped him, Ma Bing would have definitely beaten Lin Yu to death.
"No."
Gu Chenan shook his head: "Help me investigate what he's been up to recently, the more detailed the better."
Ma Bing was a bit puzzled. A small fry like Lin Yu couldn't stir up any big waves. Why investigate him?
But he didn't ask much more. Anyway, whatever Gu Chenan said, he would do it without any objections.
"Yes, Young Master."
After Ma Bing left, Gu Chenan ate breakfast alone.
While eating, his thoughts drifted far away again.
Since Lin Yu was able to make Hoshino Kannon become Qianmo's personal bodyguard, it showed that he still had designs on Qianmo.
So he must certainly be doing something right now!
The plot had already collapsed long ago. Gu Chenan also couldn't deduce what was happening based on the original story. But he knew protagonists of Dragon King novels all had one thing in common.
—Patience!
If he was hiding and waiting until his strength became powerful before making a move against him, then Gu Chenan would have to accelerate his own actions!
But before that, he still had to get through the plotline.
The next segment of the plot was about Su Qianmo's father, Su Tianming, falling ill and lapsing into a coma.
After going to the hospital and being told everything looked normal from the tests, the Su family started consulting folk doctors everywhere, but to no avail.
Finally, the Su family put out the word that whoever could cure Su Tianming would be rewarded with ten million plus a piece of land in the development district.
And from beginning to end, Su Tianming's coma was nothing more than a trap set by the Wang Family of Donghai.
The Su family and the Wang family were both in the real estate business. The two families were currently trying every means possible to take over a massive project of over ten thousand acres in the new city district.
And of course, the person who would end up curing Su Tianming was none other than Lin Yu.
After learning of Su Tianming's coma, Lin Yu went to the Su residence. Relying on the ancient medical techniques from Tang Yunjin's family, he succeeded in curing Su Tianming in front of a group of doctors, shocking everyone.
More importantly, through treating him, Lin Yu discovered that someone had intentionally caused Su Tianming's illness.
Next, Lin Yu sent the Black Owls to investigate and they eventually traced the culprit to the Wang family.
This segment of the plot was the first instance of Lin Yu showing off after rising to prominence.
The shock it gave people was simply mind-blowing.
Not only were the hospital doctors completely helpless about Su Tianming's illness, all the doctors in Donghai were also at a complete loss.
Yet Lin Yu, who was utterly ignorant of medicine, went to take Su Tianming's pulse. All the doctors whispered cold mocking and disdain.
Even Gu Chenan who had brought several doctors along to take a look at Su Tianming was there ridiculing Lin Yu.
Whether it was the Su family servants or the doctors present, no one believed Lin Yu could cure Su Tianming.
But the facts gave everyone a resounding slap in the face!
Not only did Lin Yu cure Su Tianming, he also caught the Wang father and son, the culprits behind it all.
This not only slapped the faces of everyone present, but also once again made Lin Yu's name resound throughout Donghai.
The refreshing sensation of this kind of direct face-slapping was simply suffocating.
That was how the plot went, but the plot had already collapsed long ago now.
It seemed some unhappy things had occurred between that Tang Yunjin girl and Lin Yu.
Whether Lin Yu would come or not was already an issue, without the Tang family's medical techniques.
But even so, Gu Chenan could not let his guard down.
No matter what Lin Yu was up to now, if he wanted to deal with Lin Yu, he absolutely could not let Lin Yu slap everyone's faces according to the original plot.
There was still more than half a month before the plot point. Gu Chenan could take this chance to think of countermeasures.
If Lin Yu didn't come, then he would take Lin Yu's place and expose the Wang father and son. If Lin Yu did come, he also couldn't let Lin Yu accomplish everything smoothly.
Since I'm going to take Lin Yu's position, then I have to cure Su Tianming.
And the only person who could help him cure Su Tianming was Tang Yunjin.
Plus, Gu Chenan was already planning to go find Tang Yunjin to ask about the situation anyway, so it was time to go see little sister Tang.
Thinking of this, Gu Chenan used a napkin to wipe his hands clean.
"Go to the Tang residence!"
......
......
At the same time, at the Liu residence.
Liu Zhenshan stood in the main hall, looking up towards the room on the second floor that belonged to Liu Mingrui, and shook his head helplessly.
Last night after Liu Mingrui returned, she had locked herself in her room. When Liu Zhenshan knocked on the door, he could even hear sobs coming from inside.
Liu Zhenshan was also confused. His daughter had followed him training on the battlefield since she was little, and her will had long been honed to be as tough as steel.
Just what on earth had happened that could make her lock herself in her room and cry?
"Old Master, young miss still isn't opening the door." At this time, a servant holding a tray of food walked down the stairs.
"Sigh." Liu Zhenshan let out a sigh and said, "I see, thank you."
The sunlight outside the window was blocked by the light blocking curtains. With the lights off, the room was pitch black.
Liu Mingrui lay curled up on the bed, hugging her phone while continuously flipping through posts about relationships between men and women.
As she read, her beautiful eyes suddenly glinted.
A sentence in one of the posts caught her attention.
- To win a man's heart, you must first start from his stomach. For just 998 yuan, you can learn how to cook men's 10 favorite dishes.
Seeing this comment (advertisement), Liu Mingrui grabbed onto it like a life-saving straw and clicked in.
She swiftly paid money, downloaded the app, and started learning.
A moment later, Liu Mingrui's door opened instantly.
She walked quickly down the stairs and rushed directly into the kitchen, took out the necessary ingredients and started learning according to the course on her phone.
Liu Zhenshan witnessed this scene and frowned directly.
What is going on here?

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
