NOVEL NEXT Chapter 162: 16%!
After returning to the Junhao Hotel, Lu Yu saw several police cars parked in front of the hotel. At this moment, one by one, the faces of the wealthy elites inside turned pale as they walked out, each with an expression of shock. They had clearly seen the body of Lu Jingchuan, who had been shot in the head!
Seeing the scene in front of him, Lu Yu couldn't help but sigh, then slowly stepped forward, heading towards the Junhao Hotel amid the crowd of people constantly coming out, with a trace of helplessness on his face.
Due to his urgency in chasing the sniper earlier, he simply didn't have time to deal with the body, which alarmed the police.
Upon returning to the banquet hall of the Junhao Hotel, Leng Qingqiu was standing there, and Qin Ge, the president of Oran Technology Group, was standing by, being questioned by the police.
"Honey, what happened?"
At this point, Lu Yu looked at Leng Qingqiu and asked, as if he truly didn't know what had happened.
"President Qin's assistant died in the rooftop terrace, shot in the head from a distance. The scene is very gruesome..." Leng Qingqiu's stunning face had a touch of coldness on it, indicating her displeasure with such events.
After all, tonight was the five-year anniversary party for the cooperation between Victory Group and Oran Technology Group. Everyone was originally very happy, but encountering such an event was really disappointing.
"Assistant? Shot in the head?"
At this moment, Lu Yu tried his best to act surprised and asked, "How could something like this happen?"
"I don't know either"
Leng Qingqiu shook her head, then looked at Lu Yu and said, "Wait here for me for a moment."
Hearing this, Lu Yu nodded to show agreement.
Seeing Lu Yu nod, Leng Qingqiu walked over to Qin Ge and said, "President Qin, it's really unfortunate that this happened. I hope you don't take it too hard. Now we can only hope that the police solve the case quickly and severely punish the murderer."
Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Qin Ge couldn't help but nod. He sighed and said, "That's all we can hope for at the moment. But tonight's good party was completely ruined by this incident. I hope President Leng doesn't mind too much."
"President Qin, this is not something you wished to happen. Besides, the party is just a formality. The continued smooth cooperation between our two companies is what truly matters,"
Leng Qingqiu said, maintaining her cold demeanor in her speech.
"Hearing President Leng say that is the greatest comfort tonight,"
Qin Ge nodded, appearing very grateful.
"President Qin, if there's nothing else, I'll be leaving now,"
Leng Qingqiu continued, as this was the scene of a murder case. Although she was the president of Victory Group, she was also a woman who wasn't very comfortable with such a scene.
"Alright, take care, President Leng,"
Qin Ge said hurriedly, showing complete understanding of Leng Qingqiu's departure.
Hearing this, Leng Qingqiu nodded, then turned and walked over to Lu Yu, saying, "Let's go, take me home."
With that, Lu Yu didn't say much and slowly walked out of Junhao Hotel with Leng Qingqiu, then drove towards Leng Family Manor.
A moment later, Lu Yu slowly parked the car at the entrance of Leng Family Manor, then said, "Alright, you're home. Now you can go back."
"Are you sure you don't want to come in for a while? After all, my father and your father were friends back in the day. I'm sure he'd be happy to see you," Leng Qingqiu looked at Lu Yu and inquired.
"Maybe next time,"
Hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Lu Yu shook his head and said, "After all, it's quite late now."
He was so close to finding out which family orchestrated the killing of his parents, and everything was ruined by that sniper. As a result, Lu Yu wasn't in the mood right now.
Upon saying this, Leng Qingqiu nodded and said, "Alright, if that's the case, you can take my car back."
"Thank you,"
Lu Yu nodded, saying it with a sense of calmness.
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Leng Qingqiu gave him a deep look, then opened the car door and walked towards Leng Family Manor.
At this moment, Lu Yu looked at the familiar Leng Family Manor, then shook his head, started the car, and drove straight to his place.
...
Back at his place, Lu Yu turned on the lights and found a pink insulated lunch box on the table, filled with chicken soup rice noodles. Upon touching it, it was still warm, evidently made by Meng Yue for him.
Seeing this, Lu Yu felt a small warmth in his heart. He slowly went to his bedroom, took off his suit, revealing a physique carved like a sculpture.
"Dad, Mom, what exactly were you researching?"
Looking at himself in the mirror, Lu Yu said softly, his words tinged with curiosity.
A large part of why he had become like this was due to that mysterious liquid his parents had developed.
From what Lu Jingchuan said, Lu Yu also learned that the reason for his parents' death was related to that potion!
As he thought about it, Lu Yu felt even more puzzled. What exactly had his parents developed?
Bending forward slowly, Lu Yu retrieved an instrument resembling an electronic watch and put it on his wrist.
Beep!
With a soft sound, Lu Yu glanced at the display screen of the instrument and then froze.
Because he suddenly noticed the number on the instrument had changed from fifteen percent to sixteen percent!
Although he didn't know what this value represented, Lu Yu knew perfectly well that each one percent increase in the value made him more powerful.
The value increasing from fifteen to sixteen percent indicated that his body had become even stronger!
Seeing this, Lu Yu was momentarily stunned. He finally understood why, during his chase earlier, he had managed to close the distance with the sniper significantly.
It turned out that in his fury, his body had become significantly stronger!
Thinking this, a gleam flashed across Lu Yu's eyes. With his intensified strength, if he encountered that sniper again, he was confident he could capture him without letting him escape!
