The witch could attribute her relationship with the old man to that of a creditor and a debtor.
This meant the old man must have done something that led to the current situation.
Yun Yanlan had openly infiltrated the intelligence network into the Desolate Sea Heavy Prison. If it were anyone else, they would have likely been discovered and had their limbs crippled long ago.
Don't ever think the old man was an easy-going person.
When Zhou Yu went on missions abroad with him in the past, he was ruthless in killing!
Even if they were beautiful, hot-bodied foreign women, when they came on to him, the old man wouldn't even bat an eye as he dealt with them.
Looking at it this way, the harm caused to the witch by that incident must have been considerable.
If it weren't for that, the old man wouldn't have been willing to let Yun Yanlan control so much of the intelligence from the Desolate Sea Heavy Prison.
The Desolate Sea Heavy Prison had many inmates serving life sentences.
But even while imprisoned, these individuals could still keep abreast of the outside world's every ripple.
One could even say the Desolate Sea Heavy Prison was a melting pot of intelligence and information.
That place was undoubtedly a treasure trove for those involved in intelligence!
Fatty Qian also wanted to do the same, to place intelligence personnel inside, but how would he dare to ask the old man?
Apart from Zhou Yu, who didn't fear the old man, everyone who had spent time in the Desolate Sea Heavy Prison feared him.
"You want to know that badly?"
Yun Yanlan stared at the man on the screen, a hint of amusement in her eyes.
The topic she had brought up had indeed been picked up by Zhou Yu.
At this moment, she was like a patient angler holding a fishing rod, and he was the big fish she had been longing for.
But she hadn't caught this fish to eat it, but to do something else interesting.
"If Sister Yanlan is willing to say, I'm willing to listen, but if you don't want to tell me for free, I won't agree to any conditions in exchange for this information," Zhou Yu said calmly.
Heh heh!
Didn't he know what the witch was up to?
She was intentionally piquing his curiosity to make an exorbitant demand!
He had fallen for this trick many times before.
This young master wasn't going to be fooled by you!
As the saying goes, learn from your mistakes. He had suffered many losses at the witch's hands in the past.
"Effort and reward are equal. You want to know but don't want to pay the price, so who would be willing to tell you?"
Yun Yanlan chuckled.
Then, she looked down at her freshly done nails.
She wasn't in a hurry.
The fact that Zhou Yu initiated this video call meant he couldn't escape her grasp!
No, that was wrong.
From the very beginning, she had held absolute control.
If it weren't for the agreement between Zhou Yu's master and her...
"I want to understand, but I don't want to pay any price. If you're not willing to tell me, I'll pretend I never asked."
Zhou Yu pouted, then asked another question.
This question was about him and his seven betrothed fiancées.
This time, Yun Yanlan answered readily, without any hesitation.
"I didn't know about those childhood engagements you made, and your master didn't intend to tell me. However, on one occasion, I accidentally saw those seven marriage contracts."
"I was stunned back then! To think that you, a mere kid, would have seven engagements, it was simply unbelievable!"
"You know, women are very curious. Even if I didn't want to remember those seven names, I had to."
"It wasn't until you came to Yunhai a while ago that I understood what you were planning to do."
"However, your intention to go and break off the engagements one by one is also the outcome I wanted to see. But..."
At this point, Yun Yanlan showed a rare trace of sadness on her face.
It seemed that Zhou Yu's actions had caused her great pain.
Seeing this.
Zhou Yu immediately asked, "But what?"
"But you didn't break off the engagement with Su Yuyan of the Su family. Instead, you got a marriage certificate with her!" Yun Yanlan snorted.
She had calculated everything, but she never expected Zhou Yu and Su Yuyan to go to the Civil Affairs Bureau and register their marriage.
When she received the news, Yun Yanlan almost fainted from anger!
She had already regarded Zhou Yu as her man. Even though this man wouldn't be solely devoted to her, she didn't care. But she was determined to secure the most important place in his heart!
And now that Su Yuyan was Zhou Yu's legal wife, would she occupy that most important place in his heart?
Yun Yanlan couldn't get an answer to this question.
Although she had spent more time with him and known him earlier than Su Yuyan, Zhao Ruyue, and Leng Xue,
Yun Yanlan still found it difficult to fathom some of Zhou Yu's thoughts and actions.
In this regard, she didn't have much of an advantage compared to other women.
Yun Yanlan often couldn't see through Zhou Yu's master.
And Zhou Yu seemed to have inherited his master's true teachings.
As she grew older, Yun Yanlan found it increasingly difficult to discern any pattern in Zhou Yu's behavior.
Of course, this might not be a bad thing.
For someone who was destined to achieve great things, their style of action naturally had to be unpredictable and varied.
Because once an opponent could see through them, they would easily reveal their weaknesses and be exploited.
Yun Yanlan was one of the few who knew about Zhou Yu's background, and she was well aware that one day, Zhou Yu would have a complete break with the Zhou family in Jiangnan.
And before that, her young man needed more tempering.
True, Zhou Yu had been on many missions with his master, facing mortal danger countless times.
But weren't all the top families in Dragon Country survivors of storms?
It was not easy to confront a super-class family.
"Sister Yanlan, since you saw those seven marriage contracts long ago, you must also know that with my personality, I would eventually go to them, right? Then why didn't you make any move?" Zhou Yu was puzzled.
Hypothetically, if Yun Yanlan truly had feelings for him.
Then she would have done something after knowing this!
But Zhou Yu had been in Yunhai for quite some time.
During this period, Yun Yanlan had many opportunities to act, but she didn't!
Zhou Yu couldn't understand.
He believed that the witch must have concealed some things!
Perhaps these things were related to the old man!
But for the moment, Zhou Yu couldn't figure it out.
At this moment, Yun Yanlan explained, "Little Yu, you will surely become a man standing at the pinnacle of the world. Sister never doubts that! I know that at that time, you will have many confidantes. If, at this moment, I cannot even tolerate your fiancées, how can I stand behind you?"
"Sister Yanlan, the way you say that makes it sound like I'm a playboy..."
Zhou Yu was extremely dejected.
He was clearly still a novice, yet Yun Yanlan treated him like a seasoned playboy who had seen many women and remained untouched.
Who could he reason with about this?
