Chapter 637 He Survived
Lu Yu made an important decision. Tomorrow, he would go straight to the Yuan family corporation and destroy them, not giving them a chance.
“First, let’s wait for Zirou’s brother to come over. We have to ask him some questions.” Han Xuefei stated.
The three sat in their chairs and waited quietly.
They could see the bustling city outside through the French windows. Unfortunately, the city’s top dog had changed in just a few days.
There was soon a knock on the door. “Come in,” Yun Zirou spoke up.
A man with unkempt hair and a dirty face walked in after pushing open the door. His body was covered in bloodstains.
He appeared tall, but his body was thin as he trembled.
He pushed his hair aside with his hands. “Zirou, it’s really you,” he said quickly to Yun Zirou. “That’s fantastic. I do have one remaining family member!”
He quickly approached Yun Zirou and took her hand in his. “Let’s go; we’ll leave this city and live elsewhere. We have no chance of surviving here!”
“How did you become like this?” Yun Zirou asked, shaking his hand off. “What have you been up to these days?”
“I went into hiding,” he said, his face showing a terrified look.
“What can I do if I don’t run away? Wouldn’t it be suicide if I stayed somewhere the Yuan family could find me?”
“Please explain what happened first. I’m not leaving the city, as I was raised here. Aside from that, I need to avenge our parents!”
Her brother sighed and sat quietly on a sofa.
“Alright, here’s what happened. It’s nothing complicated. It was our father’s 50th birthday not long ago, and he hosted a birthday party in the villa that the entire family attended.”
“The Yuan family recognized this opportunity and brought people to attack us, and then…”
He began to choke up and lowered his head as he continued.
“How is that possible?” Yun Zirou clenched her fists, gritting her teeth. “The strength of the Yuan family has always been inferior to ours. How can we be annihilated this easily? I’m going to kill them!”
She was enraged. She stood up and rushed out, ready to fight the Yuan family to the death!
Lu Yu rushed up and put his hand on her shoulder. “Don’t be in a rush. We’ve already agreed to do it tomorrow.”
Yun Zirou sat on the sofa, panting in frustration. She held back her rage.
“I’m Lu Yu, your sister’s friend,” Lu Yu introduced himself to Yun Zirou’s older brother.
He extended his hand to shake Lu Yu’s hand but quickly retracted it when he noticed his filthy hand.
“Yun Tao is my name. I’m Yun Zirou’s older brother and the family’s eldest son.”
Lu Yu gave a slight nod. “You are welcome to rest here today. We will deal with the rest tomorrow. Whatever the Yuan family has done, I will hold them accountable.”
“So, tell me what happened that day.”
“All right,” Yun Tao said quickly. “When we were celebrating our father’s birthday, everyone was having a good time when the Yuan family suddenly barged in.”
“My father scolded them harshly, but they showed no mercy. Then both sides began fighting.”
“My father dispatched his bodyguard. He’s the Yun family’s strongest cultivator, and he’s unbeatable in Cloud City!”
“However, a masked man in black from the Yuan family’s team killed our bodyguard in the blink of an eye!”
Yun Zirou immediately stood up and exclaimed, “Impossible! No one in the Yuan family possesses such strength!”
“Continue. What happened after that?” Lu Yu continued to look at Yun Tao.
“My father was tactful after that. He admitted defeat and stated that if they let us go, he would declare the company bankrupt and leave Cloud City with our remaining money.”
“The Yuan family did not agree to that. They summoned more men in black and carried out a brutal and b.l.o.o.d.y ma.s.sacre. I ran away during the chaos and hid for nearly a week before receiving Zirou’s call.”
Lu Yu let out a long sigh. “It looks like they held unreconcilable grudges against your family. Your family has already given up, but they still want to wipe you out.”
“No, it’s the suggestions of those men in black. They requested that we be executed, leaving no one alive.
“Could it be the Truth Department or the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce?” Lu Yu pondered for a moment before saying. “Both are possibilities.”
“It’s most likely the Red Heart Chamber of Commerce,” Yun Zirou guessed as she rose to her feet. “The Truth Department branch in the Freedom Federation is nearly extinct. It has to be the other party!”
“I didn’t think they’d come to you. Don’t worry. I’ll definitely a.s.sist you in exacting your revenge! No matter who it is, they wouldn’t be leaving Cloud City alive tomorrow!”
Lu Yu turned to Yun Tao and said, “Go shower and rest. I’ll take care of this tomorrow.”
Yun Tao nodded and took his room card from Yun Zirou. “I’ll go rest then. By the way, I have another question. Are you going to fight them tomorrow? They’re mighty, and they’re not the same Yuan family as before!”
Yun Tao reminded everyone.
“It doesn’t matter how strong they are,” Lu Yu expressed disapprovingly. “They must pay the price for doing what they did on the territory of the Freedom Federation. There’s no need to care about anything else.”
“You should get some rest. You don’t have to be that concerned,” Yun Zirou added.
Both Yun Zirou and Han Xuefei knew Lu Yu was telling the truth. With his connections, he could quickly summon people to control the entirety of Cloud City!
Yun Tao wasn’t as confident as them, but he nodded helplessly and left the room. He wasn’t much help anyway, so it didn’t matter whether he was present.
After Yun Tao left, Lu Yu looked at Yun Zirou and said, “You should go and rest too. We’ll leave first thing tomorrow morning to deal with their arrogance.”
“Got it. Will the military be arriving tomorrow?” Yun Zirou asked after nodding.
“That’s correct. Xu Yuan is working as fast as he can, making the military’s operations more efficient. They will visit Cloud City tomorrow and enter the ancient ruins via the opened portal.”
“I’m relieved to hear that. I’d be terrified if it were just us fighting them…” Yun Zirou expressed some concern. They were, after all, still young. They were talented but lacked the necessary strength.
“Go and rest,” Lu Yu said, patting her shoulder. “I’ll call w.a.n.g Meng to see if he’s done.”
“All right, we’ll go ahead.”
Yun Zirou and Han Xuefei exited the room in unison.
However, as soon as Yun Zirou stepped out of the room, she noticed Yun Tao standing at the door. He hadn’t gone anywhere.
“Didn’t I give you the key?”
“I have something to tell you,” Yun Tao said after a brief pause. “You should be curious as to why the Yuan family killed our entire family, but how did I escape despite being so weak?”
