Chapter 905 Who Exactly Is It
"It's just a bit strange. You're not old, yet you've already reached the peak of the Grandmaster realm. I, on the other hand, had one foot in the grave before achieving the peak at the brink of death."
"Are all young people this terrifying now?"
As Zhou Zeyao spoke, a hint of jealousy was evident in his expression.
His words, hard to discern truth from falsehood, actually deceived Wei Zhenru. Wei Zhenru mistook the jealousy in Zhou Zeyao's expression for envy of his talent.
Wei Zhenru shrugged helplessly, "Everyone has their own destiny. I've had extremely high martial arts talent since I was young, reaching the Grandmaster realm very early on. Becoming a peak Grandmaster was only something that happened a few years ago."
"If you really want to talk about being young, the two women in this villa, which one is older than me? Their strength is even greater than mine!"
"I didn't believe it before, but now that I've encountered them, it truly proves the old saying: there's always someone better, and the heavens are beyond the heavens."
While healing, Wei Zhenru had also been pondering the origins of these two women, given their immense strength.
However, if they were from a sect, they would lack the sect's aura.
The masked woman, though giving off an intense oppressive aura like a sect martial artist, felt somehow strange to him.
Zhou Zeyao shook his head helplessly, "Haha, you mustn't underestimate the martial artists in this villa."
"When Zhou Lihao returned, didn't he give you any hints about this matter? Did he tell you not to come here?"
Upon hearing this, Wei Zhenru almost spat out blood. He had been planning to properly question Zhou Lihao when they met again.
Now, with a peak Grandmaster from the Zhou family right before him, he couldn't suppress his inner doubts.
"To be honest, I didn't break in. I was there to facilitate this acquisition, went to that place called the Liu family, and was injured and forcibly brought here."
"At the time, Zhou Lihao only told me to try not to conflict with the martial artists of Yang Yang Yang Company, stating that they had peak Grandmasters among them."
"But when I actually met these martial artists from Yang Yang Yang Company, I realized there must be something wrong here!"
Facing Wei Zhenru's anger, Zhou Zeyao recounted the feud between the Zhou family and Yang Yang Yang Company to him.
When he heard that Yang Yang Yang Company had not fallen despite being attacked by the Zhou family and Xuantian Cave Mansion, Zhou Zeyao's face turned ashen.
Such a terrifying company, and Zhou Lihao only warned him about the presence of peak Grandmasters?
Was he kidding him?
A company with such close ties to several Great War Gods, and capable of attracting so many peak Grandmasters.
This was called having peak Grandmasters?
This was already comparable to some major sects in the cultivation world!
Unless the entire Zhou family mobilized, it would be difficult to annihilate such an entity.
Although the Wei family also had hidden strength, they never participated in such matters.
As the only one operating in the outside world, Wei Zhenru adhered to the principle of not causing conflicts with others.
The more Wei Zhenru thought about it, the more something felt wrong. He felt like he was being used as a pawn by Zhou Lihao!
However, Wei Zhenru didn't rush to ask, as it was clear Zhou Zeyao hadn't finished speaking.
But when Zhou Zeyao mentioned that the Zhou family had to deal with Xuantian Cave Mansion and would not be able to handle Yang Yang Yang Company in Qingzhou anytime soon, Wei Zhenru was completely enraged.
He finally understood what was wrong!
Zhou Lihao, as one of the successors of the Zhou family, would absolutely not be unaware of what the Zhou family patriarch had said.
Could Zhou Lihao possibly not know about such a significant matter?
Yet, despite this, Zhou Lihao directly summoned him back, wanting to entrust this matter to him.
If the matter was resolved, it would be one thing.
But if it couldn't be resolved, he would be caught in the middle with nowhere to turn!
The Zhou family patriarch himself had stated that he would not send anyone to Qingzhou. Even if they were to cause trouble later, that would be a matter for the future.
But now, he, Wei Zhenru, had eagerly rushed to Qingzhou.
He had even mentioned the Zhou family.
Wasn't this stirring up trouble with his own elder?
"Damn it! This Zhou Lihao didn't tell me anything about this matter!"
"Whether to agree or not is my business, but he should have at least explained it clearly to me!"
Wei Zhenru, furious, punched the nearby wall.
"No wonder Yang Yang Yang Company is unwilling to release me now. I'm a handle for the Zhou family. They wouldn't let me go, would they?"
As Wei Zhenru said this, Zhou Zeyao suppressed a smile from within.
Zhou Zeyao hadn't expected Wei Zhenru to harbor so much anger.
"But you don't need to worry. At least your life won't be lost here."
"Zhou Lihao sent you here out of concern, and I cannot let you die for any reason. Since I promised Zhou Lihao, I will naturally protect your life."
"The head of Yang Yang Yang Company's security department is a very powerful peak Grandmaster. Fortunately, he's not in Qingzhou right now. Otherwise, you might have been dealt with before I even arrived."
"Tell me whatever you need. I'll discuss it with them."
Wei Zhenru knew he wouldn't be able to leave here anytime soon and could only nod helplessly.
Zhou Lihao, far away in Modu, was unaware of everything that had happened in Qingzhou.
However, he was currently in a state of extreme distress.
"What did you just say? The shares of Haoneng Construction Group have been acquired? And over forty percent have already been sold?"
Initially, Zhou Lihao hadn't paid much attention to what was happening at Haoneng Construction Group. That was his stronghold, and he never thought anything would go wrong there.
Haoneng Construction Group held a very significant position even within the Zhou family.
It was precisely because he controlled Haoneng Construction Group that he could help his son contend for the position of the next family head.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have the ability to contend for it.
But now, his subordinates were telling him that someone was attacking his base.
And it had reached over forty percent?
Keep in mind that the Zhou family's stake in Haoneng Construction Group was only just over 40%!
Haoneng Construction Group was a colossal entity. Apart from the Zhou family, the rest were minor shareholders.
The Zhou family had made this choice to win over the local power brokers.
With their help, Haoneng Construction Group could remain standing and unshaken.
Otherwise, even with the Zhou family's support from behind, Haoneng Construction Group wouldn't have achieved its current scale.
While a forty-something percent stake didn't represent absolute control, it was more than sufficient for other shareholders who held only one percent, or at most five percent.
Coupled with the fact that all the actual responsible positions in the company were held by Zhou family members,
Zhou Lihao couldn't even begin to imagine who dared to mess with Haoneng Construction Group.
