Chapter 271: So Who Am I to You
"Mr. Xiao, are you joking?"
Lu Jiutang felt a bit dazed, his facial muscles stiffening.
Lulili is the daughter of him and Leng Meisheng. Usually, the couple struggles to figure out how to care for her, afraid to spoil her or be too harsh.
This girl is quite accustomed to it; she never acts spoiled at home, studies diligently, and is recognized as an excellent student every year. She is currently attending Mingzhu University.
For Lu Jiutang, who comes from a criminal background, knowing that he has made many enemies over the years makes him uneasy whenever Lulili goes to Pearl City for school. He always sends cars and people to accompany her. However, Lulili is very independent and never allows anyone to follow her.
Moreover, every time she goes to Pearl City or returns to Galactic Time during holidays, she has several close classmates with her. Over time, Lu Jiutang has stopped insisting on sending someone to protect her.
He also believes that no matter what, his Wolf Gang has a certain level of power here. Even if someone wants to oppose him, they wouldn't dare harm his daughter. If they were to do something bad, it would likely just be some minor schemes behind the scenes.
Therefore, when he heard Xiao Yun say that something had happened to his daughter, he truly couldn't believe it.
But he also knew that Xiao Yun would never joke about such matters.
Lu Jiutang's expression changed several times as he asked angrily, "Mr. Xiao, is what you said true?"
"Master Lu, do I look like someone who jokes around?" Xiao Yun replied seriously.
Lu Jiutang's heart sank as he asked, "May I ask what happened to my daughter Lulili?"
Xiao Yun said, "As of now, she is fine; you can rest assured. But after tomorrow, things may not be so certain!"
"Where is she now?" Lu Jiutang asked anxiously.
"She's definitely not at Mingzhu University!" Xiao Yun replied.
Lu Jiutang felt like he was about to spit out blood. Can't you be more straightforward? If you keep beating around the bush, I might just jump off a building!
Lu Jiutang was frantic, his face turning pale as he scratched his head in distress, but Xiao Yun remained calm, sitting steadily on the bamboo chair and sipping his tea.
"This is good tea!" Xiao Yun praised.
Despite feeling like his heart was being clawed at, Lu Jiutang had to hold his temper and took a sip of the tea himself. "Good—tea... uh, can you tell me where Lily is?"
"She's in the hands of the Flying Tiger Gang, Hong Qichang," Xiao Yun said.
"What?" Lu Jiutang jumped up. "How did my daughter end up in their hands? How do you know this?"
"Because Hong Qichang kidnapped my mother, and they are holding her in the Northern Suburbs."
"Why did they kidnap your mother?"
"Cheng Hu and Red Sister stole a card from Hong Qichang's Blood Curse Gate, which is basically an ID for someone at Blood Curse Gate. Unable to find Cheng Hu and Red Sister, he went after my mother."
"What is Blood Curse Gate?"
Clearly, Lu Jiutang was unfamiliar with it. He then asked, "What about your mother now?"
"I rescued her! I even destroyed that rundown factory in the Northern Suburbs with one punch!" Xiao Yun said.
One punch destroyed a whole factory? Lu Jiutang felt a chill run down his spine.
To others, this might sound like a myth, but Lu Jiutang believed it.
Last time, when Orchid Daoist suddenly mutated, he sent someone to follow up. His subordinate reported that during the battle at Wohu Mountain, Xiao Yun had destroyed a large area of forest with his fists, and Orchid Daoist was beaten into a pulp.
"What happened next?" Lu Jiutang asked anxiously.
Xiao Yun smiled and said, "Later, I found out that one of the Five Tiger Generals from the Flying Tiger Gang, Lu Shan, was hiding nearby. Knowing he would report the incident to Hong Qichang, I didn't touch him. I first drove my mother home and then quickly returned. In the shadows, I discovered he was with Hong Qichang. I kept an eye on them until Hong Qichang returned to Azure Cloud Group. It was only then that I learned from his conversation with a woman that they had kidnapped your daughter Lulili..."
"My daughter is studying in Mingzhu; how could she fall into their hands?" Lu Jiutang's face turned pale.
Xiao Yun replied, "I don't know the specifics, but as far as I know, they plan to deliver Lulili to someone called Shadow Brother in Pearl City tomorrow."
"Shadow Brother from the Shadow Empire?" Lu Jiutang blurted out.
Xiao Yun frowned and asked, "You know about the Shadow Empire?"
Lu Jiutang sighed, "I don't know much, just that the Shadow Empire is quite formidable. Hong Qichang's strong backing is the Shadow Empire. If my daughter falls into their hands, it will be dire. Mr. Xiao, what should I do?"
"Are you afraid of the Shadow Empire?" Xiao Yun did not directly answer him but asked instead.
Lu Jiutang gritted his teeth and said, "For my daughter, I fear nothing."
"That's good. Before seven tomorrow morning, wait for my call. I'll help you rescue your daughter!" Xiao Yun said as he stood up to leave.
"Mr. Xiao..."
"By the way," Xiao Yun turned around and said, "Don't mention anything about your daughter to anyone; otherwise, it might spread."
Watching Xiao Yun drive away alone, Lu Jiutang felt wronged. How could you be so ungrateful, Xiao Yun? At least give me a ride part of the way; I can't just take a taxi back as the Vice Hall Master of Wolf Gang!
Thinking of his daughter Lulili, the thought quickly vanished, and his mood became unusually anxious.
Xiao Yun originally planned to invite Lu Jiutang to Phoenix City to discuss Lulili, but unexpectedly, Liu Ziyan and Sister-in-law suddenly proposed leaving the Galaxy. This made his heart feel as if it had been crushed by a stone mill. Moreover, in front of others, he couldn't bring up the matter of Lulili falling into Hong Qichang's hands with Lu Jiutang.
The reason he wanted to bring Lu Jiutang to Azure Breeze Teahouse was simply to have a good talk in this quiet place and see if he could extract some information about the Shadow Empire from him. However, he could tell that Lu Jiutang was unaware of the details.
Only by understanding the roots of the Shadow Empire could he take action against Hong Qichang. After all, Hong Qichang had crossed his bottom line by having his mother kidnapped. Even if he hadn't heard the conversation between him and Bai Man today, he would not let this vicious wolf go.
It seemed that he would have to focus on Bai Man then.
On the way back, Xiao Yun received a call from Hao Meiyun.
Hao Meiyun anxiously asked, "Yun'er, are you okay?"
"Mom, I'm fine," Xiao Yun thought about how much his mother must have been frightened this time, so he added, "Mom, come to my place tonight. Let's have a family gathering."
"Ah, okay. I originally wanted to invite you over, but I didn't expect this to happen..."
"Mom, why are you being so polite with your son? It makes me feel bad. How about this: I'll have Sister Yiran pick you up!"
Before Duan Haoran passed away, An Yiran and Hao Meiyun were both in the hospital room; they were familiar with each other. Later, when Cheng Yuanzhao moved, it was also An Yiran who helped arrange it.
Then, Xiao Yun called An Yiran to inform her about picking up his mother for dinner.
On the street, Xiao Yun bought a large amount of groceries. When he rushed back to the villa, Feng Xia had just gotten off work early and was there to help him with cooking.
Once all the dishes were on the table, An Yiran's car arrived at the door. A group of people got out of the car, and Cheng Yuanzhao was still holding two bottles of wine in his hand.
"Wow, it smells so good!"
Nie Xiaoqian wrinkled her nose and exaggeratedly hugged Hao Meiyun, saying, "Mom, today we are all benefiting from you. Otherwise, how would brother make such a lavish meal?"
An Yiran pulled Hao Meiyun and Cheng Yuanzhao, saying, "Please take your seats!"
"No, that's not right," Cheng Yuanzhao retreated repeatedly. "It would be better for the deity and his mother to sit together. That's the honored position; sitting there would shorten my lifespan!"
As soon as he said this, the three young beauties in the room were taken aback. When did Xiao Yun become a deity?
Seeing the Three Women looking at him in unison, Xiao Yun's face turned red as he said, "Don't listen to his nonsense. What deity?!" He then turned to Cheng Yuanzhao and said, "You sit with my mom."
Cheng Yuanzhao hesitated for a moment: "I'm just an ordinary person; is that okay?"
Xiao Yun was so angry that his stomach almost cramped: "What's wrong with that? Just sit down!"
"Yuan Zhao, if I let you sit, then just sit! Why are you acting like a clown?" Hao Meiyun was also displeased.
"Yes, yes..." Cheng Yuanzhao cautiously sat down next to Hao Meiyun.
Uh-oh, the Three Women felt that something was a bit strange. Feng Xia, with her somewhat clueless demeanor, leaned closer to Xiao Yun and innocently asked, "Brother Xiao, why does he call himself an ordinary person and you a deity? Are you moonlighting as a shaman? I heard that this profession may not be reputable, but it pays more than those fortune-tellers on the street!"
Buzz!
Xiao Yun was stunned by this question; his mind exploded, and he felt like he was going to faint.
What kind of talk is this? Just because he looks so handsome, when did he fall to the level of those fortune-tellers on the street?
Isn't this insulting my character while eating Guoguo?
"Come on, everyone, try the dishes made by Xiao Yun!" An Yiran noticed Xiao Yun's awkward situation and quickly urged everyone to dig in.
"Yes, yes, everyone eat up!" Xiao Meiyun looked at the Three Women, smiling brightly, but she was secretly wondering which of the Three Women would eventually become her daughter-in-law since they all looked like Celestial Beings.
As Hao Meiyun was pondering this, Cheng Yuanzhao raised a glass of wine, stood up, and respectfully said to Xiao Yun, "A great master is indeed a great master, surrounded by beautiful women. Although my mother and I don't know which of these three beauties will be your wife in the future, I admire you. Here’s to you!"
Oh dear, Master Xiao felt utterly defeated. What kind of talk is this? Are you trying to stir up conflict among the Three Women around me?
He wore a face full of despair, unsure of how to respond when unexpectedly, Nie Xiaoqian comforted him, saying, "Brother, don’t be troubled. We are all your lovers!"
One more shocking revelation!
This was simply a rhythm that could pierce through steel!
...
"Xiao Yun, so you have so many lovers. Then who am I to you?"
Outside the door, in the shadows of the bushes stood a young woman, listening to the laughter and chatter inside. Tears welled in her eyes as her delicate body trembled lightly, murmuring to herself. The Pinnacle of Elegance has been updated.
