Chapter 427 - 427: Xu Jia Lu (5)



In the wilderness, it was no difference from a huge earthquake.

All minor powers were unusually active these days, frequently collaborating and communicating in private.

They were worried about Zhao Yu’s ambition, fearing he might absorb their forces as well.

At this time, as the deputy lord, Meng Xian naturally became someone people dared not offend.

Meng Xian herself never expected that by abandoning Meng House Village, she would advance further and become a person of immense power and status.

The various wilderness forces around her all had to priority her needs and feeling.

Such a thing would have been unimaginable in the past.

“This dress looks good, wrap it up for me and have it sent to my residence…”

As Meng Xian was browsing, she suddenly spotted a set of lingerie and was intrigued.

Luo Bing, on the other hand, looked at her with a peculiar expression, seemingly deep in thought.

Meng Xian proudly claimed, “Zhao Yu is my man!”

That explains it!

Luo Bing couldn’t help feeling a bit envious.

She had met Meng Xian once in Peace Town before; she was an enhancer who took risks to gather resources.

Luo Bing never imagining she would end up with Zhao Yu and become the deputy lord.

It seemed that Zhao Yu treated his women quite well.

Luo Bing suddenly recognized Xu Jia Lu.

From Xu Jia Lu’s reaction earlier, it seemed she also had some untold secrets with Zhao Yu.

Could it be that the soldiers who fought the Han family were secretly provided by Xu Jia Lu to Zhao Yu?

She speculated but felt something was off, as Xu Jia Lu’s reaction didn’t quite match this theory.

Lost in thought, her phone suddenly rang.

Luo Bing was startled and quickly asked, “Is there a private room? I need to take a call!”

A satellite phone?

Meng Xian paused for a moment, then quickly arranged a private chamber.

“Hello, Miss!”

In the chamber, Luo Bing carefully answered the phone.

“Luo Bing, have you arrived at Zhao Family Fortress?”

“I have…”

Luo Bing sensed something off in Xu Jia Lu’s tone, as if she was suppressing something.

“I want you to give the phone to Zhao Yu. I need to talk to him privately!”

“Ah?!”

Luo Bing quickly explaining that she was wandering around Zhao Family Fortress and would need some time.

“I’ll wait. Hurry up!”

Luo Bing didn’t hesitate and quickly went out to inform Meng Xian of the situation.

Upon hearing that the call was from Xu Jia Lu, the head of the Xu family from Black Rock City, Meng Xian didn’t dare to delay and hurriedly escorted them back.

They were quickly allowed through and soon returned to Zhao Mansion.

This was Zhao Yu’s new residence within the inner fortress, meant for receiving guests or temporary overnight stays.

Zhao Yu usually stayed at the base, so Meng Xian was the one who lived in Zhao Mansion most of the time.

Fortunately, Zhao Yu was still in the mansion, researching about Xu Jia Lu’s letter, and hadn’t gone far.

“Xu Jia Lu’s call?!”

Zhao Yu was astonished upon receiving the news. He hadn’t expected Xu Jia Lu to have Luo Bing and the others bring a phone to him.

Why didn’t she call initially, but now she wanted to talk?

He speculated that perhaps Xu Jia Lu wanted him to understand her status and position first through letter and then discuss further matters.

However, he was still puzzled about what Xu Jia Lu might want to discuss.

“You all can leave for now.”

Zhao Yu took the phone and dismissed Meng Xian and the others.

Meng Xian was curious and asked Luo Bing in a low voice, “Do you know what Xu family’s leader wants from us?”

Luo Bing hesitated, unsure whether to share or not. She whispered, “Zhao Yu seems to be the ex-boyfriend of Xu family’s leader…”

“What?!”

Meng Xian gasped in shock, quickly covering her mouth.

She genuinely didn’t know about this.

Regarding Zhao Yu, she only knew some information from the Xu sisters.

But the Xu sisters had only interacted with Zhao Yu for a year and were not aware of his past.

Now, it seemed Zhao Yu was not a simple man.

However, she soon felt it was reasonable.

Zhao Yu’s ability to build an underground shelter before the apocalypse indicated that he was wealthy and not an ordinary person.

“Xu Jia Lu?”

Zhao Yu probed.

“It’s me!” On the other side, Xu Jia Lu heard the familiar yet unfamiliar voice, and the depression in her chest dissipated by half.

“What’s the matter?” Zhao Yu said uncertainly.

Xu Jia Lu’s suppressed anger surged up again.

She asked sharply, “Zhao Yu, do you still contacted with Chu Yue Yue again?!”

Chu Yue Yue?!

Zhao Yu quickly piecing things together.

He had just read Xu Jia Lu’s letter and refreshed his memory about his predecessor’s past.

Coincidentally, Chu Yue Yue was one of his four ex-girlfriends.

“Me, involved with her?”

Zhao Yu found it inappropriate about Xu Jia Lu’s question.

Hadn’t they been separated for several years?

“You won’t admit it?”

Xu Jia Lu scoffed, “Don’t think I don’t know, the soldiers who defeated the Han family’s army were given to you by that wretch Chu Yue Yue, right?”

“She gave them to me?” Zhao Yu was even more puzzled.

“Heh, lately, three to four thousand soldiers have disappeared from Peace

Town. What else would they be doing if not helping you?!”

Peace Town?!

Zhao Yu seemed to latch onto something crucial and pressed, “Peace Town belongs to Chu Yue Yue?”

“Zhao Yu, you really are shameless. After betraying us back then, you still dare to come find us…”

Xu Jia Lu was furious, not pausing for a moment, barraging Zhao Yu with insults.

Zhao Yu listened with narrowed eyes, picking up a lot of information.

For example, Chu Yue Yue was the leader of Peace Town, and Xu Jia Lu was the head of the first noble family in Black Rock City, the Xu family.

Their achievements were because of their supporter, Fang Yue E.

Fang Yue E… another ex-girlfriend!

Zhao Yu felt uneasy, unsure if his predecessor had left him assets or liabilities.

After venting, Xu Jia Lu hung up the phone abruptly without waiting for Zhao Yu to speak.

Zhao Yu was left speechless, “It’s as if she still thinks she’s my girlfriend…”

Xu Jia Lu’s behavior seemed to Zhao Yu like they were still in a relationship from seven or eight years ago, bickering with each other.

What he didn’t expect was that even after seven or eight years, Xu Jia Lu hadn’t changed, still behaving unreasonably like a princess.

“But what did she mean the several thousand soldiers from Peace Town disappeared?”

Zhao Yu felt there was something to be leveraged in this situation..
