If anyone were to ask Zhou Yu.
If he had anyone to fear besides his master.
Zhou Yu would surely say: "Of course, there are two. One is a girl under twenty, and the other is a mature older woman in her early thirties."
If someone were to ask again.
Between the girl under twenty and the older woman in her early thirties, who is more terrifying?
Zhou Yu would answer without hesitation: "The older woman is more terrifying!"
Yes.
The person currently on the phone with Zhou Yu was that mature older woman in her early thirties.
But by seniority, he still had to call her Aunt Yun.
Yun Yanlan, a female friend of the old man.
Her identity was extremely mysterious.
Even now, Zhou Yu only knew that Yun Yanlan was very, very rich, richer than many Forbes billionaires on the global list!
Fatty Qian's assets were like a fish tank compared to hers.
Zhou Yu wasn't clear about exactly how rich Yun Yanlan was, but he estimated that compared to Qian Fuhua, the difference was as described above.
Didn't expect that.
The new richest man in Yunhai City, in Yun Yanlan's eyes, was merely poor.
"Xiao Yu, I told you not to call me Aunt Yun. Are you pretending to be confused again? Call me that one more time, and I'll come straight to Yunlan Tiangong to find you tonight."
From the other end of the phone, a soft yet very commanding older woman's voice came through.
It was hard to imagine such a voice coming from a woman in her thirties.
"Sister Yanlan, please don't! I just moved in not long ago. If you come, I'll..."
Zhou Yu stopped himself in time.
If he continued.
The older woman on the other end of the phone would get angry.
"You'll what? You think you can run away when you see me? Wuwuwu... You heartless wretch... Sister doted on you for nothing when you were little!"
As Yun Yanlan spoke, her voice even carried a hint of tears.
If one didn't know, they would think Zhou Yu had done something heinous to her.
Fortunately, Zhou Yu had long been immune.
This woman just loved to act and tease him.
And the childhood matters Yun Yanlan mentioned were even more non-existent!
Because ever since Zhou Yu met Yun Yanlan, he had been bullied by her.
Including but not limited to: pinching his face whenever she felt like it, slipping Sichuan peppercorns into his bowl when no one was looking during meals, and throwing small stones at his backside while he was training with his master...
It could be said that Yun Yanlan was a demoness!
Yet Zhou Yu couldn't do anything to her.
Given her relationship with the old man, if Zhou Yu had any malicious thoughts, he would definitely be picked up and beaten by the old man.
"If those actions of yours count as doting on me, then I'd rather no one dote on me my entire life."
Hearing Yun Yanlan say she doted on him, Zhou Yu felt a toothache.
Her words, every single one, couldn't be trusted!
"How can no one dote on you? Sister dotes on you the most. Otherwise, why would I give you the Yunlan Tiangong villa, which I bought with half my fortune? Xiao Yu, don't you forget how good Sister has been to you."
Yun Yanlan's voice was enough to make one's bones go soft.
Every word she spoke sounded like she was flirting with Zhou Yu.
This made Zhou Yu extremely uncomfortable.
But he couldn't hang up the phone himself.
No choice, he really didn't dare.
"Sister Yanlan, half your fortune could probably buy dozens of small islands. That villa is worth at most two or three hundred million. Don't try to trick me." Zhou Yu exposed her.
Hearing this, Yun Yanlan burst into giggles.
Meanwhile, the driver and bodyguard in Zhou Yu's car stared wide-eyed at each other in disbelief.
What kind of person, with half their fortune, could be worth dozens of small islands?
The two were utterly shocked.
Who was the person talking to the big shot on the phone?
They naturally wouldn't think Zhou Yu was bragging excessively.
Because there was no need for that at all!
Therefore, the person whose half fortune was worth dozens of small islands, as mentioned by the big shot, was real!
The driver and bodyguard were shocked to their very core at this moment.
No wonder Zhou Yu had specifically instructed them earlier to forget every word they were about to hear.
It turned out the special existence on the other end of the phone had too formidable a background!
Compared to her, the big boss Qian Fuhua was like a world of difference.
At the same time.
Yun Yanlan said to Zhou Yu in a voice full of seductive charm, "Little brother Yu, if you're willing to come chat with me tonight, let alone half my fortune, I'll be all yours."
"..." Zhou Yu dared not respond further.
Whether he went to find Yun Yanlan, or Yun Yanlan came to find him.
It would be a disaster!
"What? Little brother Yu has stopped talking?"
Zhou Yu remained silent.
"Stinky brother, Sister dotes on you so much, yet you won't even say a word to Sister. Truly heartless!"
Zhou Yu was still silent.
"Hmph! Men are really all good-for-nothings!"
Zhou Yu had broken out in a cold sweat throughout the conversation.
Her last sentence seemed to be scolding his master, and also scolding him.
But Zhou Yu didn't dare to respond a single word.
He could never guess what was going on in Yun Yanlan's head!
This woman was one of the few special individuals Zhou Yu couldn't see through.
That was why he was so afraid of Yun Yanlan.
"Sister Yanlan, are you angry?"
After a long while, Zhou Yu asked softly.
He knew that Yun Yanlan calling at this time meant something.
The corpses of the Zhang family's thugs were likely her doing.
As for how it was done, Zhou Yu had no interest in knowing.
Anyway, he just needed to remember that Yun Yanlan had helped him with a small favor from the shadows.
It was indeed only a small favor.
But this debt made Zhou Yu feel he had to remember it for a lifetime.
"You know Sister gets angry? Traveling all the way from the Desolate Sea's Heavy Prison to Yunhai City without even telling Sister, and... you even got a marriage certificate with that little girl from the Su family!"
Yun Yanlan's mention of the marriage certificate clearly carried a trace of anger.
Zhou Yu said awkwardly, "Uh... I have seven marriage contracts, you know that. Even if I didn't get the certificate with Su Yuyan, I would have had to get it with someone else."
"Then why couldn't it be with me?"
"..." Zhou Yu was speechless again.
After a moment, Yun Yanlan finally sighed, "Alright, Xiao Yu, Sister won't tease you anymore. Just remember one thing, no matter where you are, if you have any needs, Sister will rush to help you."
Phew.
Zhou Yu took a deep breath. "Sister Yanlan, I understand."
There was nothing this woman did for him that he could refuse.
The next second.
Yun Yanlan on the other end of the phone switched back to a playful and teasing tone.
"Since you understand Sister so well, how about I come to Yunlan Tiangong to find you tonight?"
"No!"
"No means no! Hmph!"
Dudududu—
The call was hung up by the woman on the other end.
Zhou Yu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
If this woman had really come to Yunlan Tiangong...
Then tonight he would have to run away carrying a train!
When he was fifteen or sixteen, Zhou Yu heard someone say that Yun Yanlan had once pursued his master.
