Super Fusion

Chapter 34: An Unexpected Incident

Lin Zhong couldn't possibly be unaware of something amiss. Last night, after making up his mind to use the opportunity of apologizing to approach Xu Yu, Lin Zhong, utilizing the information Lin Dongjie had gathered, sent men to guard Xu Yu's building early in the morning, ready to wait for him.

However, when the men spotted Xu Yu in the morning, they saw him in a hurry and didn't dare to disturb him, only following him from a distance. They discovered that Xu Yu was heading to the Linzhou Economic and Trade Bureau.

This discovery immediately shocked and overjoyed the Lin family.

What? This Mr. Xu actually works there? This was too wonderful! After all, they had been uneasy, unsure how to approach Xu Yu. Thinking about it, what demands could a cultivator like him possibly have on ordinary people?

Without desire, one is invincible!

Therefore, the Lin family had been quite apprehensive, but after discovering that Xu Yu worked in a government agency, their thoughts completely changed. Putting everything else aside, wasn't Xu Yu a civil servant? Was the Lin family's influence within the government small? If the other party is willing, paving the way for Xu Yu can be done effortlessly.

If the other party accepts, the relationship between the two will naturally follow.

Upon learning this news, even the patriarch of the Lin family, Lin Yan, was overjoyed for a long time. He even directly called his eldest son, Lin Zhongze, the current Deputy Secretary of the Huaijiang Provincial Party Committee, demanding that he personally thank and apologize to Xu Yu.

Lin Yan did this out of necessity. If it were anyone else, Xu Yu might not be willing to meet. Only within the government could this have the most direct effect, and the Lin family's greatest influence within the government was undoubtedly Lin Zhongze. Anyone else wouldn't be qualified enough to show respect to Xu Yu.

Receiving his patriarch's call, Lin Zhongze, who was working in the provincial party committee office, was somewhat bewildered. For a dignified Deputy Secretary of the provincial party committee to personally invite an ordinary civil servant, and with such a respectful attitude, was truly absurd.

But his slight hesitation immediately ignited the old man's fury. "What? You think you're no longer Lin Yan's son just because you've become a high-ranking official? Are you trying to rebel? Is it so hard for you to thank your younger brother's savior as the older brother?"

This furious remark jolted Lin Zhongze awake. Yes, although their positions within the organization were vastly different, this matter didn't involve any official business.

That's why he called at the last minute, right after work, intending to thank Xu Yu as an ordinary person. Furthermore, setting aside their worldly status, Lin Zhongze felt a surge of curiosity about Xu Yu. Even though he had devoted his life to his official career and had achieved nothing in cultivation, even knowing nothing about it, he still knew quite a bit about it. Xu Yu, a cultivator? He really wanted to meet him.

Upon hearing Lin Zhongze's words, Xu Yu was stunned again. Even though he had many dealings with the Lin family, he never expected them to possess such terrifying power. Even though he didn't know who Lin Zhongze was, the fact that the other party dared to mention the name Lin Zhongze, the provincial party secretary, was enough to demonstrate the other party's status!

Provincial party secretary? Or deputy secretary?

At this thought, Xu Yu took a deep breath, but only for a brief moment before he suddenly smiled again. How could he still be so easily swayed? Since he had completely adjusted his mindset, he seemed to no longer need to be afraid of anyone.

Even if he was the provincial party secretary, so what? As for the other party's words of thanks and apology, after silently pondering for a moment, Xu Yu smiled again and said, "Alright, thank you for your trouble, Mr. Lin."

He had roughly guessed the other party's meaning; this was the Lin family showing goodwill and demonstrating their strength. Otherwise, it would never have been Lin Zhongze making this call. He didn't mind this show of goodwill.

After arranging a time and place with Lin Zhongze over the phone, Xu Yu put away his phone and headed to the meeting place.

This time, Lin Zhongze clearly didn't want to attract too much attention, so the meeting place wasn't a high-end hotel, but just a medium-sized restaurant located in Chaolan District.

When Xu Yu arrived, they were already waiting. As soon as he stepped into the private room, Xu Yu saw a man in his fifties sitting on the inside.

This man bore a striking resemblance to Lin Zhongze.

"Hehe, Mr. Xu, please." Upon seeing Xu Yu, Lin Zhongze immediately stood up and smiled, inviting Xu Yu to sit down.

Xu Yu nodded calmly, without any formality, but he was also somewhat curious. This kind-looking, unpretentious fellow was Lin Zhongze? The Deputy Secretary of the Huaijiang Provincial Party Committee? A super-powerful figure in charge of all party affairs in the province?

On his way here, he had used his phone to search for the name Lin Zhongze, the Secretary of the Huaijiang Provincial Party Committee.

“My third brother is injured and unable to move around easily, so he couldn’t come to thank Mr. Xu in person. My father wanted to, but he was worried that Mr. Xu might not be pleased, so I had to do it on his behalf…” As Xu Yu sized up Lin Zhongze, Lin Zhongze was also scrutinizing Xu Yu. He hadn’t expected this man to be so young, and even though he was in a powerful organization, he didn’t seem to have any fear of his own identity.

Putting everything else aside, just this demeanor alone made Lin Zhongze nod in approval. This man truly lived up to his legendary reputation as an extraordinary person.

“Hehe, I was a bit late yesterday, but it’s all in the past now. With modern medical technology, Mr. Lin’s arm should be able to recover. I’ve settled the debt of saving his life. As for an apology, there’s no need.” As Lin Zhongze spoke, Xu Yu also spoke up, but he had already withdrawn his curious gaze and sat down opposite Lin Zhongze with a more open and honest demeanor.

Hearing Xu Yu's words, Lin Zhongze paused slightly, then said nothing more. He simply picked up the exquisite tea set on the table, personally poured Xu Yu a cup of tea, and said, "Please, sir."

"Thank you." Xu Yu nodded calmly, accepting the tea. He sensed that Lin Zhongze's attitude towards him was completely different from Lin Zhongzhi's. The other party was only doing this because he had saved Lin Zhongzhi's life. As for the respect Lin Zhongzhi showed him, there was none.

However, this was inevitable.

Seeing Lin Zhongze also raise his cup, Xu Yu smiled and picked up his cup

as well. Just then, a loud bang suddenly came from the private room outside the door. Two burly men in police uniforms barged in, followed by a beautiful young woman.

"It was him, it was him! He molested me outside!" After bursting into the private room and the door closing again, the young woman immediately widened her misty eyes, hiding behind two policemen, and pointed at Xu Yu.

"Heh, you little rascal, you've got some nerve! Daring to act like a hooligan in broad daylight?"

"Why bother talking to him? Cuff him and take him to the station!"

The two policemen, echoing the woman's words, shouted menacingly at Xu Yu, and strode towards the back of the room.
