Become a Knight Across the World

Chapter 249 Returning to the Zhou Family

Everyone had a happy New Year. Watching the group setting off fireworks downstairs, Lin Mu felt extremely happy, but the message on his phone made him unable to feel joy at all.

After the New Year, the Knights Association's winter training was about to begin. After careful consideration, Lin Mu made a suggestion to Yun Yi: let him go to the training base in City C to participate in the training.

“Great! I want to go to training!” Yun Xiling chimed in, “Your brother-in-law is right. Going to the C City training base will not only allow you to learn more professional knowledge, but also exchange ideas with other outstanding knights. This is a rare opportunity.”

Yun Yi happily packed his luggage, ready to embark on this journey full of challenges and opportunities. Seeing this, Lin Mu arranged for Yun Xiling to lead Yun Yi to the training base.

When they arrived at the station, Lin Mu saw the siblings off, then turned to Lin Yue and said with a serious expression, "Sister, the Zhou family is causing trouble again."

Lin Yue frowned, her face showing worry, and asked, "What happened to them again?" Lin Mu silently handed her his phone, the screen displaying a message from Zhou's fourth son.

The message essentially said that their biological father, the fourth son of the Zhou family, conveyed the message from the head of the family, their biological grandmother, that the old lady missed them and hoped they could come home to visit.

Lin Yue snorted disdainfully, "I've never seen these people think of me before. I wonder what kind of bad ideas they're up to now. They probably have ill intentions."

Lin Mu frowned: "I heard that the Zhou family's company seems to have encountered some trouble recently, and has lost a lot of money in business. They have fallen from their position as the number one family. In order to make up for their losses, they are talking to a company for cooperation. And the sincerity of the cooperation seems to be to send a junior member of the Zhou family to be their secretary."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yue's face instantly turned ugly: "I understand, at times like this, they think of me, the abandoned illegitimate daughter! They call me a secretary, but isn't that just being a plaything for the boss? The Zhou family used to be the most prestigious family, how come they're now selling even their juniors?"

These scumbags! Every time they come to her, it's nothing good. She already knows they wanted her heart after she became a vegetable last time, and now they're targeting her again. Don't they have any younger members in their family? They really want both.

Lin Mu nodded gravely: "I'm afraid that's the case. They probably think that sending you there will solve the cooperation problem and get rid of us, this troublesome person. Don't worry, little sister, with your brother here, we don't need to pay attention to them."

“Go, why wouldn’t I go?” Lin Yue sneered. “I want to see what tricks they can pull.” A hint of mockery flashed in Lin Yue’s eyes. “Brother, don’t forget, we’re not like we used to be.” Lin Mu hesitated for a moment, then finally nodded: “Alright, as long as you know what you’re doing, I’ll go with you.”

Seeing that his sister insisted on going, Lin Mu had no choice but to agree. Although he knew his sister was capable, he still decided to go with Lin Yue.

Inside a luxuriously decorated courtyard with a retro Chinese style, a group of people stood ready for action.

Grandma Zhou was resting with her eyes closed, while her sons and grandsons sat below her according to their seniority.

On the other side, a bald, overweight man with a large belly sat leisurely on the sofa. One arm was tightly around the woman beside him, while the other hand roamed and groped her body without restraint. The woman seemed quite disgusted by the caresses, but still occasionally let out soft, panting breaths, which sounded particularly clear and jarring in the otherwise quiet courtyard.

The old lady of the Zhou family has four sons. The eldest son has a son and a daughter, Zhou Jie and Zhou Yao. The second son also has a son and a daughter, Zhou Weiming and Zhou Mianmian. The third son's son, Zhou Baquan, is currently in the hospital. The fourth son has two sons, Zhou Sha and Zhou Zhenglong.

At this moment, the old lady's grandsons were all gathered in the yard, but her two granddaughters were nowhere to be found, obviously afraid of being targeted by the pot-bellied bald man.

Seeing that the bald man was still indulging in pleasure, Zhou Lao Er finally couldn't suppress his dissatisfaction and spoke first: "Boss Wang, let's talk business first." Although his tone was still polite, the urging in his voice was all too obvious.

However, Boss Wang ignored Zhou Lao Er's words and not only did not stop what he was doing, but also looked impatient: "What? You have a problem with that? I'm giving you face by waiting for someone here, and you dare to rush me? Do you really think your Zhou family is still the number one family it used to be?"

After saying that, his movements became more and more unrestrained, as if he was deliberately provoking Zhou Lao Er. The woman in his arms was also stimulated by him and became more and more unable to control herself, and couldn't help but let out louder moans.

Zhou Lao Er clenched his fists. This Boss Wang was a member of the Wang family. Now the Wang family had become the number one family and had acquired many of their businesses.

Zhou Lao Er's face flushed red from the rebuke, but he dared not utter a word of anger. Just as the atmosphere became awkward, Zhou Lao Tai spoke up: "Alright, Lao Er, they are guests, and we must not neglect the proper etiquette for them."

Just then, a figure came running hurriedly from a distance; it was the Zhou family's butler. He jogged along, panting, until he reached the old lady's side, bent down, and whispered a few words in her ear.

Upon hearing this, the old lady's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. She slowly stood up, and seeing this, everyone else hurriedly followed suit.

Just then, Lin Mu and Lin Yue walked into the courtyard at a leisurely pace.

Lin Yue was dressed in a casual outfit, not a designer brand, but it made her look exceptionally capable and efficient, exuding a powerful aura. She glanced disdainfully at everyone present.

When the Zhou family members saw Lin Yue walk in, a flash of greed and calculation crossed their eyes simultaneously. Especially the boss, Mr. Wang, who had been chatting and laughing with his companions, suddenly stopped what he was doing, staring intently at Lin Yue, almost drooling: "This young lady is really pretty! But..."

He abruptly changed the subject, looking at Old Madam Zhou with a mocking expression, and said sarcastically, "Your Zhou family really has no one left, you actually found me a minor! But... hehe, I like this kind of person!"

Grandma Zhou seemed not to hear what Mr. Wang said. With a fake smile on her face, she stepped forward and called out affectionately, "Yueyue, Grandma has missed you so much!"

Lin Yue glanced at her coldly but didn't respond. Grandma Zhou didn't care at all and continued, "This is Mr. Wang from the Wang family. From now on, you'll work hard for Mr. Wang, understand?"

Before Lin Yue could speak, Boss Wang eagerly leaned in and extended his hand: "Little beauty, let's get acquainted." Lin Yue disgustedly refused to extend her hand; she had seen his hands constantly on women when she came in. How disgusting.

At this moment, Lin Mu stepped forward, shielding Lin Yue behind him, and said coldly, "Don't think we'll let you manipulate us. We're here today to see just how shameless you can be!"

Old Mrs. Zhou's face instantly darkened. She glared at Lin Mu and shouted, "Lin Mu, what face do you have to stand here, you illegitimate son? Guards! Throw him out of here!"

Lin Mu's expression changed slightly, but he did not back down. Instead, he straightened up and met Old Madam Zhou's gaze without fear.

Just then, Lin Yue suddenly chuckled softly: "My brother is an illegitimate child, but so am I?" Lin Yue's lips curled up slightly as she looked at Old Madam Zhou with a half-smile, "What, you're only kicking my brother out, but not me, your illegitimate daughter, along with him?"

Old Mrs. Zhou was speechless for a long time after being choked by Lin Yue's words. Her face turned red. This little beast was so arrogant! If it weren't for needing her help, how could an illegitimate daughter be qualified to step into the Zhou family's door?

Seeing this, Boss Wang quickly stepped in to smooth things over: "Alright, alright, let's not hurt each other's feelings. The Zhou family does want to cooperate with me, but when it comes to cooperation, there has to be some sincerity. This young lady seems quite clever, but it's a pity she's still young. I'm afraid she's not good at this job and doesn't have much experience."
