Chapter 386: I Can Wait!
Since childhood, Gu Yunfeng had always been treated like the moon surrounded by stars. Whatever he said, no one dared to disobey him. It was precisely for this reason that he developed such an arrogant and hypocritical demeanor.
In Gu Yunfeng's eyes, he was naturally superior to others, and this notion had been ingrained in his mind for over twenty years without the slightest change!
However, today, this notion was shattered to pieces by Lu Yu!
Lu Yu's expression just now must have left a profound impression on Gu Yunfeng; first, there was his disdain, followed by that ice-cold gaze. All of this left a deep mark on Gu Yunfeng!
"Uncle Yan!"
After seeing Lu Yu leave, Gu Yunfeng spoke coldly: "Investigate this kid's background thoroughly. I want to see who exactly has the audacity to treat me, Gu Yunfeng, like this!"
As he spoke, a hint of coldness flashed in Gu Yunfeng's eyes, and he continued, "Once you find out, let me know immediately. Today's matter between this kid and me is far from over!"
With that, Gu Yunfeng turned around and left in grand fashion.
...
Exiting the underground fight club, Lu Yu got into the car parked nearby. Meng Yue, sitting beside him and staring intently, slightly smiled and said, "If you have any questions, just ask. Keeping them inside is not good."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Meng Yue was slightly taken aback. She glanced at Lu Yu sitting in the driver's seat, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Lu Yu, who exactly are you?"
Seeing Lu Yu's formidable skills in the ring and his indifference when cutting off Brother Hei's hands, Meng Yue was filled with suspicions about Lu Yu's identity.
Although it was known that five years ago, Lu Yu was a notorious playboy in LA City, from his recent actions, he showed no trace of such a persona.
On the contrary, Lu Yu seemed more like a killer who licked blood off a knife's edge, with the kind of indifference when cutting off someone else's hands that not everyone could possess!
"Me?"
Hearing Meng Yue's question, Lu Yu shook his head slightly and responded, "I'm just me, your tenant."
"I know that."
Listening to Lu Yu, Meng Yue spoke earnestly, "I mean, do you have any other identity? Your skills aren't something just anyone can possess!"
A seasoned fighter on the underground ring was knocked down by Lu Yu in one punch, along with that indifference. Such emotions are not casually accessible to anyone!
As the captain of the LA City's criminal brigade, Meng Yue had encountered many fierce criminals, but compared to Lu Yu's demeanor just now, those criminals were truly insignificant!
Even a fugitive with multiple murders cannot appear as indifferent and casual as Lu Yu did when severing someone's hands!
Based on her extensive investigative experience, Meng Yue believed that Lu Yu, who had disappeared for five years, must have had many undisclosed past experiences.
It was precisely this thought that prompted Meng Yue to question Lu Yu like this.
"Other identities..."
Upon hearing Meng Yue's words, Lu Yu couldn't help but raise his head, gently sighing, and replied, "Indeed, there are some!"
As he spoke, dark and bloody memories flashed through Lu Yu's mind, and a hint of world-weariness emerged in his eyes.
Seeing this hint of world-weariness, Meng Yue couldn't help but be surprised.
Such a weary expression usually appears on older men with extraordinary experiences, and Meng Yue had seen such an expression on an undercover agent with a decade of service.
The weariness in that agent's eyes was nowhere near as profound as Lu Yu's!
"What is it?"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Meng Yue asked, her tone filled with curiosity.
She never imagined that Lu Yu, her neighbor, had an identity entirely unknown to her!
"I can't say."
Lu Yu shook his head at Meng Yue's question and replied, "Or rather, revealing it would only bring danger to you."
Revealing it would bring danger!?
Meng Yue was shocked by this statement, and looking at Lu Yu in the driver's seat, she realized that she understood even less about the man living next door than she had thought.
Until now, Meng Yue realized that Lu Yu seemed to be hiding too many secrets, and that moment of world-weariness had already indicated a lot!
After all, eyes are the windows to the soul, and such world-weariness is something that cannot be easily faked by anyone!
This seemingly twenty-something Lu Yu, what on earth did he go through during those five missing years?
"Then..."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Meng Yue hesitated slightly, then asked, "Is your other identity a good person?"
"No."
Without any hesitation, Lu Yu replied to Meng Yue's question.
Those darkest and bloodiest memories really made it hard for him to associate himself with the word 'good.'
Meng Yue was taken aback by this response, preparing to say something.
At that moment, Lu Yu's voice sounded again, "Though I'm not a good person, I can assure you, that identity is by no means a bad person either!"
This statement instantly brought a sense of joy to Meng Yue. She didn't know why, but upon hearing Lu Yu say he wasn't a bad person, she felt a wave of relief.
"If the opportunity arises, I will tell you everything."
Seeing the expression on Meng Yue's face, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "But right now, it's not yet the time!"
"It's okay."
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Meng Yue nodded slightly and replied, "I can wait..."
Upon saying this, a blush involuntarily spread across Meng Yue's face. She didn't know why she had spontaneously said that.
Seeing Meng Yue's words, Lu Yu was slightly taken aback and felt a warm current in his heart. He smiled gently at Meng Yue and said, "It's getting late, we should head back."
After this, Meng Yue nodded. Once Meng Yue nodded, Lu Yu started the car and drove towards his residence.
