Chapter 1956: Return to Hu City
Li Shuangshuang trembled all over, and her tears instantly soaked Zhou Yu’s chest.
She cried out:
"Not good!"
"Not good at all!"
"I miss you so much!"
Hearing this, a complex emotion surged within Zhou Yu.
He couldn’t help but tighten his grip on Li Shuangshuang’s delicate body.
Afterward, neither of them spoke, just embracing under the moonlight.
It was unclear how much time passed before Li Shuangshuang’s emotions finally calmed down significantly.
With a flushed face, she left Zhou Yu’s embrace, wiped her tears, and said with her head down:
"I’m sorry, Zhou Yu."
"I intended to control my emotions, but after seeing you, I just couldn’t hold back."
Looking at the tear-streaked Li Shuangshuang, who was now apologizing with a red face, Zhou Yu’s heart surged with tenderness.
He reached out, cupped Li Shuangshuang’s face, and gently wiped away her tears.
Seeing Zhou Yu’s gentle actions, and the deep emotion in his eyes, Li Shuangshuang suddenly gathered the courage, stood on her toes, and kissed Zhou Yu at the corner of his mouth.
In an instant, the two ignited like fire to dry wood.
Embracing each other passionately, they kissed.
Unknowingly, most of Li Shuangshuang’s clothes had slipped off.
At that moment, Zhou Yu suddenly regained clarity.
He quickly pushed Li Shuangshuang away.
Li Shuangshuang was taken aback, then blushed and hugged her arms to her chest, saying:
"Zhou Yu, you... what’s wrong?"
Zhou Yu cleared his throat.
"Um... Shuangshuang, I actually came to find you because..."
At Zhou Yu’s words, Li Shuangshuang immediately stared at him, her beautiful eyes full of deep expectation.
Seeing Li Shuangshuang’s gaze, Zhou Yu was suddenly at a loss for words.
He couldn’t imagine hurting Li Shuangshuang.
But if he didn’t speak the truth, it would hurt Li Shuangshuang even more.
After a moment of silence, Zhou Yu finally spoke:
"Actually, I’ve come to say goodbye."
"Goodbye?" Li Shuangshuang’s body shook.
"Where are you going?"
A trace of reluctance flashed in Zhou Yu’s eyes, but he still said:
"I have to go to a very distant place."
"I don’t know if I can reach there."
"Also, I don’t know if I can come back!"
Normally, if someone said such things, Li Shuangshuang would have thought they were just putting on airs, pretending to be mysterious.
But the person speaking was Zhou Yu.
She knew Zhou Yu was not an ordinary person.
After all, he could stand in the air just now.
Li Shuangshuang had some understanding of the Martial Arts World.
She knew only top martial artists could walk on air.
Moreover, she could keenly feel the reluctance and determination in Zhou Yu’s words.
She looked into Zhou Yu’s eyes, and they locked eyes.
After a long while, Li Shuangshuang suddenly hugged Zhou Yu again.
"Zhou Yu, I know the place you’re going is somewhere I can never reach in my lifetime."
"I won’t stop you!"
"But before you leave, I want to be reckless just once."
"Only then will I have no regrets in the future!"
After she finished, Li Shuangshuang kissed Zhou Yu’s lips again, without any reservations.
This time, she was even more passionate than before.
It seemed she wanted to fully unleash her emotions pent up for over two years.
...
The night quickly passed.
The next morning, Zhou Yu looked at Li Shuangshuang lying beside him. He placed his hand on Li Shuangshuang’s chest and then infused Yimu True Essence into her body.
Then he took a ring from his Storage Ring and placed it on Li Shuangshuang’s hand.
This ring was a simple Magic Treasure he made.
It only had basic protective functions, enough to keep Li Shuangshuang safe from the elements and evil spirits.
Zhou Yu could only do so much.
Afterward, he took out an ancient text and placed it in front of Li Shuangshuang.
This ancient text was about the Acupuncture Technique.
For both Li Shuangshuang and her grandfather Li De’an, it was a priceless treasure.
After finishing everything, Zhou Yu’s form flashed and disappeared from the backyard.
After Zhou Yu left, a tear slipped from the corner of Li Shuangshuang’s eye.
Then, she slowly opened her eyes.
In fact, she had been awake the whole time, but she didn’t want to face the farewell.
It wasn’t until Zhou Yu left that she sat up, touching the ring Zhou Yu put on her finger, and tears fell uncontrollably, yet her face blossomed with a happy smile.
No matter what, at least, she once had him.
That was enough!
...
Hu City.
As one of the most bustling cities in Dragon Country.
It was bustling and extravagant as always.
In the South Suburb of Hu City, there was a resplendent tall building.
On top of the building, four large characters shone brightly—Huanyu Industry.
This corporate group had risen rapidly in Hu City over the past two years.
In just two short years, this corporate group had established itself in Hu City and, with its powerful manufacturing, swept across all of Dragon Country, making it one of the hottest enterprises in Dragon Country’s business world.
As Huanyu Industry rose swiftly, many began to harbor ill intentions.
After all, who wouldn’t want to control such a nationwide manufacturing enterprise?
However, in the past two years, no matter the level of dignitaries attempting to deal with Huanyu Group, all without exception, failed.
And the consequences of failure were either mysterious disappearance or complete defeat, even implicating the forces behind them, leading to their eradication.
As a result, the existence of Huanyu Industry grew increasingly fearsome.
Who was backing this enterprise?
How could it be so terrifying?
Over two years, people thoroughly investigated Huanyu Industry, but could only find that its current controller was Shui Tianyue.
This Shui Tianyue was once an illegitimate daughter of the elder of the Dong Family in the provincial city of Qinzhou.
The main figures assisting Shui Tianyue in handling Huanyu Industry were He Xu, Mi Lan, and Yu Kaiping.
All three were from small families in Qinzhou without exception.
Yet these four people, who were virtually without background, controlled one of Dragon Country’s largest manufacturing enterprises.
It seemed unbelievable to the outside world.
But as more forces and people targeting Huanyu Industry fell, now no one in Dragon Country’s business scene dared to oppose Huanyu Industry.
Invisibly, Huanyu Industry had become an untouchable forbidden zone.
Speculations arose that as the controller of Huanyu Industry, Shui Tianyue should be riding high.
However, in the topmost luxurious office of this skyscraper, Shui Tianyue was gazing thoughtfully at the bustling scene outside the window.
Though she was already thirty-five, it seemed time had left no traces on her; instead, she appeared increasingly charming both in figure and temperament.
But who could imagine that inside, she felt no joy?
For more than two years, she had barely smiled.
At that moment, a voice came from behind her.
"Sister Yue, long time no see, you still look just as radiant."
