Most people, after finishing their rest, gathered in the main hall.
Jie Shishi, however, stayed in the room with Old Master Jie.
After all, the area around Old Master Jie's room was guarded by the most martial artists.
This way, it would be safer if the Shi family arrived.
Initially, Zhu Ling'er was also supposed to stay in the room.
But unfortunately, Zhu Ling'er was too restless and couldn't stay still for a moment.
So, she had to be temporarily placed in the main hall.
"Old Master, I suspect the Shi family's first target might be you."
"If there's any disturbance later, call us immediately."
Zhou Yu handed the walkie-talkie to Old Master Jie.
Old Master Jie accepted it without being overly polite.
It had to be admitted that Old Master Jie was indeed the weak point of the Jie family.
As long as the Shi family leader managed to hold Old Master Jie hostage, the Zhu and Jie families would collapse without a fight!
Therefore, Old Master Jie knew he couldn't help much and had to be cautious, absolutely not causing any trouble.
After arranging things on this side.
Zhou Yu returned to the main hall.
He saw that Zhou Yu and the others were already entertaining guests!
That's right.
Since today was a celebration banquet, it naturally had to be done properly.
At least, they had to invite people.
Otherwise, if only the Zhu and Jie families were present, no one would believe it wasn't a trap.
But knowing that there was danger tonight.
Jie Yu was reluctant to let her employees get hurt.
After much thought.
Jie Yu invited the shareholders who had previously withdrawn their investments, as well as some media reporters.
Including those who wanted to inquire about the details of the longevity medicine.
Jie Yu felt no guilt whatsoever in using these people as cannon fodder!
Seeing that everyone had arrived by this time.
"President Jie, what a grand occasion, to think you'd invite us."
The middle-aged man who entered first was the one who had led the withdrawal of shares previously.
As soon as he saw them, he said with a forced smile.
Jie Yu didn't get angry. She replied to the man, "I was impulsive in my actions before, and I've been lectured by my grandfather this time."
"Now, I've invited you all here today because I want to discuss the matter of re-investing."
Re-investing?
The man's eyes immediately lit up!
After withdrawing his shares last time, he had regretted it deeply upon learning that the longevity medicine had been successfully developed.
Not to mention the grand scene at the longevity medicine launch event today, which made the middle-aged man dream of buying back shares!
He originally thought there was no hope.
Who knew that Jie Yu would send out invitations for the celebration banquet.
When they received the invitation, they were still unsure of Jie Yu's intentions.
Was it to show off?
Or to humiliate them?
But with a mindset of giving it a try, they all came.
As a result, hearing Jie Yu's words...
"Hahaha, no wonder my father was willing to follow Old Master Jie back then. The Jie family is truly honorable in their dealings!"
The middle-aged man's expression changed immediately, and he praised them.
Then he took his seat leisurely.
Following that, the media reporters and others also arrived.
Jie Yu stood at the door, receiving them one by one.
The entire main hall appeared peaceful, filled with laughter.
At this moment, outside the old Jie family residence.
Several dark figures were emerging around the perimeter.
Those shadowy figures, without exception, were all staring at the scene inside the old Jie family residence.
"It seems they are indeed holding a celebration banquet," the Shi family leader sneered in the darkness.
He had initially thought the Jie family had deliberately leaked false information and set up an ambush here.
He hadn't expected the Jie family to be so foolish.
To actually hold a celebration banquet!
Behind the Shi family leader were over a hundred martial artists of Dark Energy Seventh Level. At this moment, they were all tense, ready to act at any moment.
"Send twenty men to feign an attack on the main hall."
"The rest will follow me over the wall!"
After observing for a while and confirming that no one inside had noticed them, the Shi family leader immediately waved his hand and gave the order.
Twenty Dark Energy martial artists immediately crept towards the main entrance of the old Jie family residence.
Meanwhile, the Shi family leader led the remaining men straight towards the high walls of the old Jie family residence.
Beneath the wall was none other than Old Master Jie's room!
No one in the main hall had sensed the danger.
They were busy eating and drinking.
Suddenly, a muffled thud was heard.
Thud—
The sound was very light, so light that even the people talking didn't notice.
But Jie Yu did!
She exchanged a look with Zhou Yu.
Then, Zhou Yu lifted his foot and walked towards the door.
Zhou Yu had intended to go and investigate the situation.
Who would have thought that a drunken woman, staggering unsteadily, would approach him?
"This... pretty boy?"
"Heeheehee, where's the restroom?"
The woman, with blurry eyes, swayed and circled around Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu twitched his lips and pointed to the distance, saying coldly, "Over there."
Having received directions, the woman didn't leave immediately.
Instead, her hands and feet became a little unruly, reaching out to caress Zhou Yu's face.
Zhou Yu sidestepped, dodged it, and his brow furrowed deeply!
"Oh my, you're shy too. Are you from the Jie family? Or a servant of the Jie family?"
The woman laughed exaggeratedly and continued to approach Zhou Yu.
Zhou Yu glanced towards the door.
He didn't speak, but subtly took a step back.
The woman, intending to lean directly into Zhou Yu's embrace.
Unexpectedly, as Zhou Yu moved, she lost her balance and, unable to control herself, fell towards the door.
Crash!
As the woman fell, the door was violently pushed open.
Immediately after.
A blade filled with a cold glint appeared before the woman.
"Ah!"
The woman let out a short scream, then fell into a pool of blood.
Fortunately, the scream was loud enough.
So loud that everyone in the main hall heard it!
Everyone's gaze snapped towards the sound.
Upon seeing the woman lying on the ground, everyone panicked.
Forgetting about continuing their conversations and drinks, they scrambled to their feet, trying to find places to hide.
"Make way, let me through!"
"Don't crowd, let me leave first!"
"Ahhh, who's blocking the emergency exit!"
The main hall suddenly descended into chaos!
Zhou Yu stepped directly over the woman's corpse and rejoined Jie Yu and the others.
"What's happening outside?" Although Jie Yu's legs were trembling with fear, she still tried to maintain her composure and asked.
Zhou Yu replied calmly, "The Shi family has arrived, and they are killing people."
"You all find a place to hide first, I'll lead my men out to fight!"
After speaking, Zhou Yu picked up his whistle, preparing to blow it.
Who knew.
In this short span of time.
These martial artists from the Shi family had already broken in!
Only then did they see twenty Dark Energy martial artists begin to slaughter the guests present.
Their speed was like harvesting wheat, leaving no survivors in their path!
"Too... too fast!" Jie Yu's voice trembled.
But Zhou Yu, staring at those twenty martial artists, his eyes sharpened: "Something's not right!"
"You all take your people and guard the hall, I'll go check on Old Master!"
The Shi family had far more martial artists than these.
Yet, only twenty had come to attack the main hall!
Therefore, Zhou Yu deduced.
The Shi family leader must have gone towards Old Master Jie's room.
