Chapter 46: Stealth and Disguise:
Hengli Group was the name of the enterprise behind Sun Xiuping.
However, this enterprise was unlike others. It was originally established through illegal activities, and the chairman was a woman. A nearly forty-year-old woman who looks like she’s in her mid-twenties.
It's said that this woman was not only very beautiful but also exceptionally intelligent and terrifyingly ruthless.
According to the original story, she got pregnant with Sun Xiuping at eighteen. Just after Sun Xiuping was born, her gangster husband was killed by a few thugs. To prevent other gangs from taking over and to better support her son, she single-handedly, with just a knife, intimidated all the gang leaders of the time.
She then led a group of people to force those gangsters into legitimate businesses, eventually establishing today’s Hengli Group.
Think about it, a nineteen-year-old girl, without a college degree, without relying on a man, managed to reach this point with a newborn in tow. How strong and charismatic must she be?
Even in the original plot, despite Chen Bansheng’s efforts to win her over, he never succeeded, showing how extraordinary she was.
As for Lu Yu? To deal with Chen Bansheng, he must first handle Sun Xiuping. To handle Sun Xiuping, he has to pass through this woman.
Lu Yu actually already has a complete plan to deal with her, but it needs some time.
...
“Wow, Lu Yu, you were so cool just now... so handsome!” Li Xiaorou couldn't help but praise as they returned to continue their meal after dealing with Chen Bansheng and the others. “I understand now why Sister Sisi likes you.”
Standing up to everyone with such confidence was the stuff of heroes in a girl’s mind.
“Hehe, just eat your food,” Lu Yu said, not in the mood for her chatter. He continued eating and sent a text to Zhou Bin.
Seeing that Lu Yu wasn't interested in chatting, Li Xiaorou grumpily tore off a crispy chicken leg and took a big bite.
After sending his message, Lu Yu also started eating heartily.
The food here was indeed excellent; even the simplest ingredients were prepared in a unique way. Like the crispy chicken, it was crispy on the outside and tender inside, full of flavor.
Glancing at Li Xiaorou, Lu Yu couldn't help but smile. He wondered how this girl, looking like a petite doll, could eat so much without gaining weight. Those obsessed with dieting would be envious.
“Brother Yu, my family wants me to go to grad school!” Qin Sisi suddenly said.
“Grad school? That’s fine. Studying more is good for you,” Lu Yu replied casually. Qin Sisi was actually a top student.
“I know, but... if I go to grad school, I’ll have to start studying soon...” Qin Sisi said reluctantly.
Lu Yu understood her concerns. “It’s okay. We have plenty of time in the future. We don’t need to worry about a bit of separation.”
“Besides, it’s just grad school, not like we’ll never see each other.”
“Exactly, Sister Sisi, it’s good for couples to have some distance. Otherwise, if you stick together all the time, you’ll get tired of each other quickly,” Li Xiaorou added.
Qin Sisi clearly didn’t want to part with Lu Yu, but Lu Yu felt that some distance between them would be good. Moreover, his upcoming plans weren’t suitable for her to be involved in. So, he persuaded her, and despite her reluctance, she agreed.
That night’s dinner became a sort of farewell for them for a while.
After eating, Lu Yu had a brief meeting with Tang Wenjiang, then parted ways with Li Xiaorou.
Back home, after a shower, Lu Yu thought about the skills he needed next.
With the 600 points gained from dealing with Chen Bansheng and Sun Xiuping, and another 300 from changing Liu Jianjun’s fate, he had a total of 900 points.

Name: Lu Yu
Age: 23
Height: 175 cm
Weight: 136 lbs
Vitality: 26 (Average adult male: 10)
Mental Strength: 23 (Average adult male: 10)
Destiny Points: 0
Skills: Grand Divination Technique (Master), Combat Techniques (Master), Assassin Skills (Proficient)
If the Grand Divination Technique made Lu Yu a master of geomancy and fortune-telling, and Combat Techniques made him a frontline warrior, then Assassin Skills, as the name suggests, involved stealth, disguise, and one-hit kills.
Upgrading this skill to proficient level, combined with his vitality and combat skills, essentially made him a professional killer.
...
Ding-dong.
A text message notification sounded. Lu Yu checked it. It was from Zhou Bin.
“Young Master, I found the people you asked for.”
“Oh? Tell me more!”
“Wang Ping currently makes a living by taking freelance jobs for an advertising company. Cheng Anjun is indeed working as a security guard at your father’s company’s branch. Their identities and backgrounds match your descriptions.”
“Good job!” Lu Yu praised. “Tomorrow, take four skilled men to see Wang Ping. As for Cheng Anjun, leave him to me.”
“Yes, Young Master!”
