Zhou Yu followed Jin Shenghuo out of the Su family's gate.
He looked up and found a cold-faced beauty waiting under a tree not far away.
Upon seeing the woman's appearance, his lips twitched slightly.
The beauty, who looked as if someone owed her millions, was none other than the War Goddess Leng Xue!
Zhou Yu hadn't expected that Jin Shenghuo would call him out of the Su family's residence only to have Leng Xue waiting for him outside!
This was somewhat strange.
He knew that Jin Shenghuo and the Jin family were entirely controlled by Yun Yanlan.
Could there be a connection between Yun Yanlan and Leng Xue?
Zhou Yu didn't believe these two women knew each other privately.
A moment later.
Zhou Yu and Jin Shenghuo walked up to Leng Xue.
"Young Master Zhou, my visit this time is not entirely on my own behalf," Jin Shenghuo spoke first.
Seeing that neither Zhou Yu nor Leng Xue were speaking, he became the balancing point between them.
"The Jin family and the Leng family of the Imperial Capital should not have much interaction. You bringing me here and then suddenly seeing her startled me," Zhou Yu snorted.
His previous encounter with Leng Xue at a private club had left him somewhat unhappy.
The woman acted as if he was the one pestering her, which truly annoyed Zhou Yu.
"Zhou Yu, I don't know what your relationship is with the Yunhai Jin family, nor do I wish to know. However, I am here today to discuss a very important matter, and I hope you will cooperate!" Leng Xue's delicate brows furrowed slightly.
Zhou Yu's attitude also displeased her.
She was the dignified War Goddess of the Dragon Kingdom. Which of her acquaintances, upon seeing her, wasn't respectful?
Yet, this man in front of her had spoken disrespectfully to her multiple times!
Could it be that it was simply because she had broken off their engagement?
If that were the case, it could only be said that he, as a man, was quite petty.
Moreover, hadn't she apologized at the club last time?
"Whether I cooperate with you or not is my own decision. You haven't even explained what's going on and you're asking me to cooperate. Who do you think you are?" Zhou Yu sneered.
This woman really thought of herself as important!
She was just a War Goddess, what was so great about that?
She wasn't his wife!
Uh... To be fair, Zhou Yu hadn't really thought much about Leng Xue's broken engagement.
The reason he was unhappy was entirely due to this woman's attitude!
Arrogant beyond measure, looking down on everyone!
This was the War Goddess Leng Xue!
Others treated her like a deity, wishing they could be humble and subservient. But he, Zhou Yu, was not that kind of person!
"I am no one special, I am merely safeguarding the hundreds of millions of citizens of the Dragon Kingdom!"
Leng Xue glared at Zhou Yu. Seemingly realizing she had acted somewhat impulsively, she quickly lowered her voice, "Yunhai may not be peaceful recently. There is evidence that the Shadow Organization's 'Shadow' has arrived in Yunhai. We haven't yet figured out his objective. And you, you must have encountered trouble by now, haven't you?"
Her coming here with the pride of the Jin family was no coincidence.
In fact, it was the Jin family that had proactively contacted Leng Xue.
Initially, the War Goddess was also taken aback.
She hadn't expected the Jin family, Yunhai's foremost family, to be involved with Zhou Yu.
Did the man whose engagement she had broken off have some other background she was unaware of?
Leng Xue found it incredible.
Before she had gone to the Desolate Sea Heavy Prison last time, she had reviewed all of Zhou Yu's publicly available information. However, those documents did not record any dealings between Zhou Yu and the Yunhai Jin family.
Just as Leng Xue was pondering the specific connection between Zhou Yu and the Jin family, Jin Shenghuo revealed even more shocking news—Su Xingyang of the Su family had disappeared.
And this incident was likely related to the Shadow Organization.
Therefore, this was the fundamental reason Leng Xue had come to see Zhou Yu.
Of course, it was only until recently that she learned Zhou Yu had already gotten his marriage certificate with Su Yuyan of the Su family, becoming a legitimate husband and wife!
And Su Yuyan was likely one of Zhou Yu's fiancées as well!
That female doctor named Zhao Ruyue was also likely one!
Although there was no direct evidence to prove that Zhao Ruyue, like Su Yuyan, had once been Zhou Yu's fiancée, based on the current information, it was almost confirmed!
This man certainly had a lot of romantic entanglements!
"Did you tell her?"
Zhou Yu looked at Jin Shenghuo, his gaze unfriendly.
It was clear that Leng Xue already knew about Su Xingyang's disappearance.
And the reason she had come to find Zhou Yu with Jin Shenghuo was likely because of this!
With the capabilities of Yun Yanlan's intelligence network, it wasn't surprising that Su Xingyang's disappearance could be discovered in such a short time.
But the question was, why would she inform Leng Xue of this news?
And even have Jin Shenghuo accompany her to the Su family to find him.
Zhou Yu couldn't quite understand the intention behind Yun Yanlan's actions.
"Young Master Zhou, don't be angry. This wasn't my idea. I was just following my father's instructions," Jin Shenghuo explained.
His attitude towards Zhou Yu was not overly respectful.
This was the result of his father's strict instructions before they came here.
His father's intention was to treat Zhou Yu kindly, but not to be too deliberate about it.
Jin Shenghuo wasn't stupid; he had already thought of a possibility.
And not long ago, the Young Miss had asked their Jin family to proactively build a bridge of cooperation with Qian Fuhua…
And Yunhai's richest man was connected to Zhou Yu…
From this, it could be seen that the Young Miss had an unusual regard for this Zhou Yu!
"Then did your father tell you that I was her fiancé?"
Zhou Yu pointed at the War Goddess Leng Xue, his words astonishing and shocking.
His statement made Jin Shenghuo's mouth gape open.
He looked as if he could swallow a whole rotten egg.
The War Goddess and Zhou Yu had been engaged?
Jin Shenghuo was stunned.
He had never imagined that the Dragon Kingdom's War Goddess, a figure as ethereal as an immortal, would be engaged to another man!
But if it was this young man in front of him, then everything seemed to make sense.
After all, Zhou Yu was the man the Young Miss treated specially!
Without a doubt, Yun Yanlan held extraordinary significance for Jin Shenghuo.
No.
It should be said that Yun Yanlan's existence was exceptionally different for the entire younger generation of the Jin family.
The Young Miss was such a person of peerless grace and elegance, a being that all the men of the Jin family had to look up to and respect.
Yet, the Young Miss, who showed no favor to any man, was particularly concerned about Zhou Yu!
Jin Shenghuo envied Zhou Yu immensely!
But he never expected that, in addition to being favored by the Young Miss, this man had also been the fiancé of the War Goddess Leng Xue!
Why?
Why did all the good things in the world fall to Zhou Yu?
Jin Shenghuo even felt like crying.
Of course, as a son of the Jin family, he would never do anything to betray the Young Miss.
"Zhou Yu, why are you bringing this up!"
Leng Xue's lips trembled with anger.
She could never have imagined that Zhou Yu would suddenly reveal the matter of their engagement to Jin Shenghuo.
