Volume 4: Hidden Struggles, Chapter 222: The Joy of Reunion

After listening to Jin Yujie’s translation of the confession, Chu Tianyu initially thought it was a simple matter—perhaps a family or corporate internal conflict within Yujie’s family. But the outcome turned out to be far more complicated, involving numerous intricate connections, even drawing in Chu Tianyu’s own Chu family. Especially since this happened during a time when his elder brother Tiancheng and cousin Tianao were in fierce competition, it became even more intriguing!
“Is it my elder brother? Or my cousin?” These questions kept swirling in Chu Tianyu’s mind. And why such entanglements? If it were just a normal business partnership, it would be fine, but if external factors were involved in this competition, it would be terrifying. After all, Chu Tianyu knew well the capabilities of these people, and they were all assassins—his mind couldn’t even imagine how powerful their backers might be!
Chu Tianyu’s doubts didn’t stem from fear of some formidable force, but rather from the fact that both sides were relatives. If it were a fair competition, it didn’t matter who won or lost. In that case, Chu Tianyu would undoubtedly side with his elder brother and secretly help him overcome any obstacles. But if it were his elder brother…
He hardly dared to think about that…
Fortunately, it was all just speculation. Maybe things weren’t that complicated after all. Perhaps, whether it was his elder brother or cousin, they were simply involved in business dealings with South Korea. Hosting those assassins was just part of normal business interactions, and they didn’t know the full details.
With these thoughts, Chu Tianyu calmed himself down. Noticing everyone’s concerned expressions, he smiled and said, “Everyone, let’s take a break first. Zi Yi, Fei Fei, and Rou Rou, take good care of Yujie. Sister Yujie, there’s no need to worry for now. Just because you can’t reach your family doesn’t mean anything serious. They must have had a hunch and were probably prepared. Stay here for now until we hear more news. The situation is still unclear, so I’ll arrange things tonight, hoping to uncover the truth as soon as possible! There’s also some mess here that needs to be dealt with.” Clearly, he was referring to the corpses and the three survivors.
In response to Chu Tianyu’s words, Jin Yujie nodded firmly, needing no words. Her passionate and devoted gaze already conveyed her decision!

The others also nodded in agreement, knowing that Chu Tianyu was determined to investigate this matter thoroughly. After giving a few instructions, he took Jin Yujie back to her room and left Chu Tianyu alone. Judging from their coordinated actions, it seemed they wouldn’t be able to sleep either, so they would gather together to chat. With them around, Chu Tianyu felt relieved, knowing that at least Jin Yujie wouldn’t experience any emotional fluctuations. Thus, he proceeded to use satellites to contact people from the Xuanji Sect’s Qianfeng and Wutang factions…

Soon, the Wutang agents arrived. Chu Tianyu gave them brief instructions to handle the corpses properly. As for the captives, they were naturally handed over to the Wutang agents for further interrogation and temporary detention, in case they might be useful as evidence in the future.

The Qianfeng agents also took action that night, expanding their investigation network around this incident and the Chu family. Meanwhile, aside from waiting for news, Chu Tianyu fell into deep thought, sensing as if a storm was approaching. These matters clearly weren’t simple!

Regardless of their complexity, even if it had nothing to do with the Chu family, just for Jin Yujie’s sake, Chu Tianyu decided to get involved in this “unrelated matter”…

Just as Chu Tianyu was deep in thought, he suddenly felt a surge within him. As if guided by intuition, his figure blurred and he disappeared from the room. Upon appearing outside, he shouted, “Who are you, scoundrel? Take this punch!”

With that, Chu Tianyu unleashed a punch into the air with all his strength. Clearly, he sensed the formidable presence of his opponent—unprecedented in strength—and this power even made him feel deep apprehension.

So, he used every ounce of his strength. The sound of his punch cutting through the air was deafening, accompanied by an invisible energy radiating around his fist, seemingly capable of destroying everything. His movement speed was lightning-fast, matching the speed of his punch.

A low rumbling sound was heard—normally, the collision of such immense energies would be earth-shattering, but only a series of muffled noises came from the scene. This surprised Chu Tianyu greatly. He had deliberately suppressed the sound of his power to avoid alerting those inside the room. Yet, the shadow he had targeted could also fully control such formidable energy and, just like him, seemed to be deliberately suppressing the noise of their fight.

But Chu Tianyu didn’t have time to think carefully about this issue, as the black shadow’s attacks came like a storm, leaving him with no chance to focus on anything else. Punches and palm strikes flew at lightning speed, one after another, appearing and disappearing as swiftly as antelopes vanishing into thin air. For a moment, Chu Tianyu could only defend himself without any chance to counterattack!

His horror grew even more. Since he began his career, no enemy had ever forced him into such a passive position. Unable to hold back, he silently roared in anger, and two forces erupted from within and without his body. His punches and movements changed instantly, turning him into a tiny boat adrift in the storm of attacks, using the swirling momentum to unleash his combat techniques in succession.

The situation immediately took a sharp turn—the black shadow was forced to retreat repeatedly, struggling to defend against the onslaught, showing signs of being overwhelmed…

Chu Tianyu didn’t let up. Seizing the advantage, he pursued relentlessly. His movements were as slippery as those of a loach, yet he stayed close at hand, fully utilizing the essence of his combat techniques. Using every part of his body and every change in his posture, along with all his strength, he launched attacks from his fists, shoulders, and elbows at incredible angles. In just a short while, the man in black could no longer withstand it!

“Enough, enough! Haha, Tianyu, I never expected your skills to have improved so much. Your combat techniques have truly broadened my horizons!”
