126: Lu Hanxiao was completely flustered.

They were only leading a few pieces of trash, scraping by in the fringe areas.

"If things get really bad, why don't we seek refuge with Master Ma?"

Another lackey said.

"Master Ma is also expanding his influence. We need to cling to a powerful figure to survive."

"Master Ma?"

Brother Shan recalled.

Recently, two forces have emerged in Jiangcheng.

Besides the Xinyi Group, the other faction is Master Ma's.

I heard that these two groups have already clashed several times in secret.

Each side has won and lost.

It's hard to say about the Xinyi Group, but we could certainly go and seek refuge with Master Ma.

"That's easy to say."

Brother Shan spread his hands, "We have nothing to offer. What would we take?"

"Brother Shan, did you forget about Liu Yong's wife and child?" a lackey chuckled.

"If we bring them and offer them to Master Ma, won't that work?"

Anyone who messes around in society knows that Master Ma doesn't touch tobacco or alcohol, but he's only interested in women.

When he sees a beautiful woman, he can't walk straight.

Many who want to join Master Ma have to present such a grand gift before he might take them in.

Although they won't get a high position, at least they won't starve.

Running an underground organization requires money, as everyone needs to eat every day.

Those who can't raise money are naturally swallowed up.

Only those who can raise money will grow larger.

"How could you even think of that? They are the beloved family of my brother-in-arms!"

Brother Shan cursed.

The scolded lackey scratched his head and dared not speak.

"However, what you said is indeed a solution," Brother Shan laughed.

"Liu Yong can't be contacted now, and his wife and child are at home alone—won't they be easy to handle?"

He quickly made a decision.

"We'll move first, and then we'll take care of this matter!"

...Overseas, at the airport.

Lu Hanxiao and the other two have already boarded the flight back home.

According to the schedule, this flight will pass through Jiangcheng but won't stop; it will land in The Northeast.

The next stop is flying toward Mao Xiong.

The flight after the next will finally return to Jiangcheng.

But that would be two days later.

Lu Hanxiao had never felt time pass so slowly.

Only one day had passed since they departed.

And they still had to fly this ultra-long distance for a few more days.

Another reason was that Lu Hanxiao missed Zhang Yu.

Once longing began to surge, it was impossible to suppress.

Her nose stung, and she even felt like crying.

"Lu Hanxiao, you can't let others laugh at you. How cold and detached you used to be."

She admonished herself internally.

It was all Zhang Yu's fault.

It was as if Heaven had sent him to conquer her.

He made her, a dignified Purser, turn into someone like Sister Lin.

She no longer looked like an outstanding employee.

"Sister Xiao, we're about to take off. What are you thinking about?"

Pan Yuyao asked.

"Nothing."

"You're not thinking about the Landlord, are you?" Pan Yuyao giggled.

"Nonsense." Lu Hanxiao shook her head, denying it.

"Don't bother denying it. I heard you talking in your sleep last night."

"What did I say?" Lu Hanxiao was startled.

Last night, they slept in the same hotel room. Did she really accidentally talk in her sleep?

"Hehe. Guess."

Pan Yuyao laughed and turned to go into the cabin.

"Yuyao. You..."

Before Lu Hanxiao could finish her sentence, she felt a bit nauseous and sick.

This is bad.

She quickly opened the restroom door and slipped inside.

Then, she took out a test strip.

When she first felt something was wrong, she secretly bought one at the pharmacy.

"Can a single test strip really decide everything?"

Lu Hanxiao thought for a moment, then began the test.

A few minutes passed.

When she saw two red lines appear on it,

her mind went blank with a crash, feeling like the sky was about to collapse.

No way?

This can happen?

How should she explain this?

As a Purser, Lu Hanxiao had always been calm and collected.

But now, she was actually panicking.

"It's inaccurate, it must be broken! I need to retest once I reach the next city!"

She thought this to herself.

A knock sounded outside.

"Flight Attendant Chief Lu, are you inside? There's a form that needs your signature."

"Oh, coming right out."

Lu Hanxiao threw the item into the trash can. After a moment's thought, she picked it up again and flushed it down the toilet... Zhang Yu and Secretary Yang were on their way back to the company.

He sneezed.

"Mr. Zhang, when we arrive at the company later, are you going up?"

"I won't go up."

Zhang Yu laughed, "I just went earlier, and I saw everything I needed to see."

"Alright then, just drop me off on the side of the road later, and I can walk the rest of the way up."

Secretary Yang said.

"Okay." Zhang Yu nodded.

The car turned a corner and arrived at the office building.

It slowly stopped by the roadside. Secretary Yang opened the door and got out.

Seeing her walk with a slight limp,

Zhang Yu couldn't help but ask, "Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Secretary Yang endured the pain, turned back, and waved.

"Good, then I'll be going now. Contact me anytime if anything comes up."

Zhang Yu said this, then drove away.

Secretary Yang watched the car leave.

In her heart, she recalled the scene in the 2000 square meter office.

The scene of Mr. Zhang composing poetry.

She could only bury this matter deep in her heart.

"Ding!"

Zhang Yu was driving back to Binjiang Mansion.

The system's prompt rang out in his mind.

"host, one Blind Box has now been randomly dropped!"

What the heck?

Hearing the system's prompt, Zhang Yu couldn't help but be amused.

After the system upgrade, it was indeed much more flexible than before.

Now, not only were there fixed daily Blind Box draws,

but there were also randomly dropped Blind Boxes.

"Draw!"

He was eager to know what he would draw this time.

"Congratulations, host! You have drawn—[Max-Level Grappling, Fighting, and Striking]!"

What does that mean?

Zhang Yu was stunned.

Did he finally draw a fighting skill?

"Upon confirming the collection of the Blind Box, the host will acquire Max-Level Grappling, Fighting, and Striking skills!"

"Max-Level means World Grandmaster Level! Agility, stamina, and explosive power will all be greatly enhanced!"

Zhang Yu understood.

The physical enhancement he received before was just a basic strength bonus.

What he received this time was a bonus in technique.

It wasn't just brute force; having established moves meant more versatility.

That meant he was a true martial arts expert.

After confirming the collection,

massive amounts of profound knowledge regarding grappling and fighting flooded into his mind like a tide.

Instantly,

he felt his strength increase, and his blood felt somewhat hot.

Which boy hasn't dreamed since childhood of being a hero, upholding justice, and helping the weak against the strong?

If they found a stick on the road, countless rapeseed flowers would have their heads lopped off.

It's just that most people, facing the burdens of life, stop mentioning it when they grow up.

At this moment, it actually became reality!

He felt a little excited inside.

If he weren't currently in the car, he would genuinely want to get out and try out a few moves immediately.
