111: Unexpected news: Young Master Wu has passed away.
At this moment, Wu Zhengliang and Master Ma were both gathered at the hospital.
"We are very sorry, Commander Wu. We did everything we could!"
Several doctors and nurses in white coats couldn't look up in front of Wu Zhengliang.
"What do you mean? Hurry up and save him!" Wu Zhengliang roared.
The voice echoed through the hallway.
"We are sorry, we have done our best. After five hours of resuscitation, Young Master Wu could not be saved."
The doctors were trembling.
Wu Zhengliang was furious and punched the wall.
The wall plaster fell off in chunks.
"Commander Wu, this matter is inseparable from Zhang Yu. We must take revenge!" Ma Weiguo said, his heart aching upon learning that Wu Yilun had not been saved.
"Sigh, let it be."
Wu Zhengliang sighed helplessly, "Wu Yilun having this tribulation is just his bad fate. Find someone to arrange his funeral."
"No, Commander, are we just going to leave it at that?"
Ma Weiguo's eyes turned red.
"What else can we do? Zhang Yu is no longer someone I can afford to provoke. If I continue to dwell on this, the only thing I'll lose is myself."
Saying this, Wu Zhengliang turned and left the hospital corridor.
"Young Master Wu, I will not let this matter rest," Ma Weiguo thought to himself.
Hearing footsteps, he looked up and saw that Xiao Yuhong of the Xiao Family had arrived.
During the time the Old Master was in Jiangcheng, she was the one who handled all the interactions with many influential figures in the city.
"Is Wu Yilun really dead?" Xiao Yuhong asked, seeing that the atmosphere was wrong.
"Yes, Miss Xiao," the doctor replied.
"Alright then." Xiao Yuhong didn't know what to say and sighed.
She stood silently for a while before turning and leaving.
"I didn't expect him to actually die." Zhang Yu was somewhat surprised to see the "annihilation card successful" notification in the system.
At the time, Wu Yilun had flipped off the mountain and became a vegetable.
He thought that was the maximum effect of the annihilation card.
He hadn't expected that after a few days, he would still die.
There is a big difference between dying on the spot and dying after failed resuscitation.
For a moment, Zhang Yu felt a bit emotional.
It wasn't that he was sighing for Wu Yilun; he just felt that the power of this annihilation card was too great.
Once used, a life vanishes immediately.
This kind of item is playing for keeps.
He was on his way back.
News of Wu Yilun's death spread on some niche websites, especially on the Dark Web.
"Breaking news: Wu Yilun, the second son of Commander Wu of Jiangcheng, has passed away after failed medical treatment!"
"Wasn't it said that he was saved and his vital signs were stable? How did it suddenly take a turn for the worse?"
"Not sure, it feels a bit suspicious. Although it was officially ruled an accident, there are still doubts."
"I think so too. During that race, Zhang Yu, the current owner of Xinyi Group, was competing against him."
"Could it be that something was done behind the scenes?"
"This makes things interesting. If we can really find evidence to prove it was Zhang Yu, we can really make a move."
People on the Dark Web were now all extremely excited.
Just then, someone in the bounty section posted a message seeking Zhang Yu's weaknesses.
The bounty was as high as 100 million!
For a time, Zhang Yu became the person with the highest bounty on the Dark Web.
Of course, the people from Xinyi Group were not idle.
They warned everyone on the Dark Web not to act rashly.
"Our Xinyi Group has the ability to find out the background of every ID. If you don't want to provoke Xinyi Group, abandon all thoughts early."
Facing Xinyi Group's blatant warning, many organizations quickly backed down.
Going against Xinyi Group was clearly a losing business.
That 100 million might be worth earning, but you might not live to spend it.
Most people thought it was better to forget it and not stir up this trouble.
...
"Landlord, you're back."
When Zhang Yu entered the house, Xiong Tingting was wearing an apron and busy in the kitchen.
The appetizing aroma of food drifted into his nostrils.
"Landlord, hurry up and wash your hands for dinner. The dishes are almost ready." Xiong Tingting added.
Due to her busyness, there were fine beads of sweat on her forehead.
A few strands of hair were stuck to her forehead, giving her a special kind of beauty.
Zhang Yu sat down and looked at her, his heart stirred.
So far, if one were to talk about the best experience, it was naturally her.
Because she possessed two special skills that others did not have.
This feeling was easy to get addicted to.
"Come here." Zhang Yu beckoned to her.
"Landlord..." Xiong Tingting realized what he meant.
Although she was mentally prepared, she said, "I'm covered in sweat..."
"It's fine." Zhang Yu smiled.
Looking at his smile, she thought for a moment, then put down the food in her hand.
She had no choice but to serve her country loyally.
(The following 10,000 words are skipped.)
When Xiong Tingting looked at the dining table again, the dishes had long gone cold.
"Landlord, the food is cold, let me heat it up."
"No need, I'm not very hungry." Zhang Yu yawned, "I want to go upstairs and sleep."
"Okay! Then, is there anything you need me to do?" Xiong Tingting asked.
"No need to do anything, just clean up and go to sleep early."
At this moment, Zhang Yu appeared incomparably "calm."
Then he walked towards the second floor.
A notification came from the system: Xiong Tingting's star rating had risen to 9.8.
Zhang Yu thought to himself: I'll fight you, System!
Just as he was feeling somewhat emotional, a message suddenly popped up in the system.
"host upgrade successful, current level LV3!"
"Unlocked a new character slot!"
Holy crap, no way.
Zhang Yu looked at the notification sent by the system, somewhat disbelieving.
It took so long to upgrade to level two.
How could upgrading to level three be so fast?
With doubts, Zhang Yu checked the system's upgrade explanation.
It turned out that the speed of upgrading depended on the prestige points he obtained.
It was the number of people he could actually influence.
A company with hundreds of employees only yielded hundreds of direct prestige points.
A group with tens of thousands of employees only yielded tens of thousands of direct prestige points.
These scopes of influence were relatively limited.
However, having obtained support from the Old Master, these prestige points were massive.
The number of people he could directly influence was at least several million.
The level of influence was not even on the same plane.
It could be said that he held the power of life and death over many people.
Therefore, this upgrade came so quickly.
This upgrade was completely an unexpected surprise.
Zhang Yu suddenly felt energetic, and the sleepiness from before had completely vanished.
He sat up, preparing to unlock the new upgrade rewards.
"host, please select the new character slot you need to unlock!" the system prompted.
Then, several grey character cards appeared before his eyes.
