Chapter 159: Zhou Huaming's Compromise

Zhou Tanxiong said, "There's no movement on my side at the moment. Don't worry, Big Brother. There won't be any problems." He had made sure he wouldn't leave behind any trails.

Zhou Huaming sighed lightly and said, "That's good. Be careful." After putting down the phone, he took another puff of his cigarette. The smoke lingered in front of him, making his eyes a little misty.

"Since we can't get her from behind, then we'll attack her from the front!" He smashed the cigarette butt against the ashtray.

...

"Miss Xiao, our boss wants to see you!" They finally got the chance to accost Xiao Lingyu. They were at the entrance of Number One High School. Xiao Lingyu was waiting for her brother.

Xiao Lingyu saw the two people blocking her way and frowned. Then she asked coldly, "Are they sent by the Zhou Family?"

The expressions of these two people instantly stiffened. They nodded and replied, "Yes!"

"Who is your boss? Why are you looking for me?" Xiao Lingyu asked. "The last time someone said they wanted to see me, it was Zhou Hongwei from the Zhou Family. That man is very impolite. I don't like him." She was reminding these two men not to treat her like a fool.

The two men calmed down. They smiled and said, "Don't worry, Miss Xiao. Our boss really wants to invite you and your brother for a meal. You can choose the location!" This was to let Xiao Lingyu feel at ease, and it also showed the sincerity of the Zhou family.

Xiao Lingyu raised her eyebrows. The two men had no idea what Xiao Lingyu meant. They looked a little anxious and asked, "Miss Xiao, what do you think?"

Xiao Lingyu smiled, and her eyes sparkled. Then, she directly replied, "I'm not going!"

"Miss Xiao," the two of them were anxious.

Xiao Lingyu chuckled, "Until now, I still don't know who your boss is. I won't make the same mistake twice." She was not going to play their games.

"Miss Xiao, let's not beat around the bush," One of them, Zhao Hu, said, "Our boss is Zhou Huaming. He really wants to treat you and your brother to a meal..."

"Stop!" Xiao Lingyu raised her hand to make the man stop. Her expression was serious as she said in a sharp tone, "Tell your boss to stay away from my brother. Or there will be consequences."

'The whole Zhou Family is the same. Do they think I'm so easily bullied? They have threatened me with Ye 'Er twice already.'

They said they were sincerely inviting them to dinner, but in fact, the man was warning her that if she didn't cooperate, he would harm her family. They were testing Xiao Lingyu's bottom line.

Zhao Hu's brows were tightly knitted. He opened his mouth to explain, but he did not know what to say. In the end, he sighed, "Miss Xiao, don't misunderstand. Our boss did not mean that."

Xiao Lingyu sneered, "Then, what does he mean? In any case, I'm not going to waste any more time with you." She thought for a while and said, "Go back to tell your Boss Zhou that I agree to his dinner invitation. It'll be at the Gu Family Hotel three days later. I'll be there waiting. If he doesn't come, then I can't help him."

Zhao Long's face was a little ugly as he said, "You're ridiculous! You know that our Boss Zhou and the Gu family hotel are sworn enemies! How can you ask our boss to go to his sworn empty's place? This is a direct insult!"

"I don't feel safe going anywhere else. In fact, I don't feel safe sitting at the same table with the Zhou Family. So I have to find a place where I can be more at ease." Xiao Lingyu said firmly, "I've already stated the conditions. It's your boss' choice whether to agree or not."

Zhao Hu and Zhao Long's faces were stiff.

Zhao Long was about to say something to Xiao Lingyu when Zhao Hu pulled on his sleeves. Zhao Hu said, "Alright, we'll convey Miss Xiao's intentions to Boss Zhou truthfully." The two left.

Zhao Long immediately complained, "Brother, the bitch is too much. You should have let me scold her."

Zhao Hu's expression froze as he said very seriously, "Zhao Long, use your brain. Even if Boss Zhou came in person, he had to be polite to Xiao Lingyu. The Zhou Family needs her. Besides..." Zhao Hu narrowed his eyes, "We're just lackeys. Boss Zhou is the one making the decision. So, why should we risk our future to offend the woman? No wonder Zhou Huaming called us idiots. You've dragged our overall intelligence down."

Zhao Long rubbed his head and said in a silly voice, "Brother, you're right!"

Zhao Hu, "..."

After Zhou Huaming heard Zhao Long and Zhao Hu's report, his face turned green and then white. He was incensed.

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Xiao Lingyu, you've really gone too far!"

The Gu Family and the Zhou Family were rivals. How could she ask him to treat her at the Gu Family Hotel? This was a slap to his face.

"Did she say anything else?" Zhou Huaming asked again.

"She said she wants the Zhou family to stay away from her younger brother. Otherwise, there will be consequences." Zhao Hu replied truthfully.

How could Xiao Lingyu, an ordinary person, be a threat to the powerful Zhou Family? It was because Zhou Hongwei was too dumb. In his criminal case, Xiao Lingyu was the key witness. She also requested protection from the police.

Once something happened to her, the Zhou family would be the primary target of suspicion.

Because of this, the Zhou family had to be careful. They couldn't take risks unless it were absolutely necessary.

Zhou Huaming took a few deep breaths and tried his best to calm himself down.

Then, he gritted his teeth and said, "Alright, I'll go meet her!"

After Zhou Hongwei's matter was settled, and Xiao Lingyu lost the police's protection, they would take serious revenge!
