An hour later, Zhou Yu returned to the Martial Pavilion with the yellow jade.

The people at the Martial Pavilion were thrilled when they saw that Zhou Yu had so straightforwardly captured Huang Yu, the leader of the Black Dragon Society.

However, Lin Yinfly, Jia Guang, Niu Biao, and even Tong Qiang all showed signs of concern.

Zhou Yu's actions had been too high-profile.

As a result, many factions would inevitably learn about this matter immediately.

If not handled well, it could plunge the Martial Pavilion into an unfavorable whirlpool of public opinion, perhaps even provoking attacks from various forces.

The few exchanged glances, each recognizing the worry in the other's eyes.

Lin Yinfly took a deep breath and stepped forward:

"Minister, isn't your behavior too high-profile? After all, Huang Yu is the leader of the Black Dragon Society. Bringing him back like this, we might find it difficult to get away with it."

Jia Guang, Niu Biao, and the others also voiced their advice.

"Yes, Minister."

"Although the Black Dragon Society is annoying and has consistently opposed us, they are still officially recognized as a legal organization. Doing this, isn't it..."

Upon hearing everyone's advice, Zhou Yu said calmly:

"If I tell you that Huang Yu was involved in the assassination of the previous minister, would you still think that way?"

As these words fell, Lin Yinfly and the others were all stunned.

A second later, their faces revealed expressions of fury.

"What???"

"Minister, is what you said true??" Lin Yinfly asked urgently.

Zhou Yu nodded slightly:

"Almost certainly."

With this, Lin Yinfly and the others' reactions completely changed.

Their features no longer showed worry but instead manifested anger and a desire to retaliate.

The old minister had nurtured deep feelings with them, and he personally cultivated and promoted them.

Over the years, due to Hu City Martial Pavilion's weakness, the investigation into the old minister's death had stalled, without any progress, leaving them filled with rage.

Now, hearing about the appearance of the culprit behind the old minister's murder, their fury was beyond compare.

At this moment, Tong Qiang, who had been silent, suddenly rushed forward.

Thud!

Tong Qiang actually kneeled directly in front of Zhou Yu.

Disregarding his image, his eyes welled with tears as he looked at Zhou Yu.

"To me, the old minister was like a rebirthed parent."

"The greatest desire of my life is to find the killer who took his life."

"Minister, please allow me to participate in investigating this matter."

Tong Qiang's emotions and actions touched Zhou Yu deeply.

Zhou Yu looked at him intently and then said:

"Alright,"

"If you can truly uncover everything this person knows, I may consider reinstating you to your position at Hu City Martial Pavilion."

Hearing Zhou Yu's words, Tong Qiang was beyond thrilled.

"Thank you, Minister. I will spare no effort and not let you down."

Zhou Yu nodded.

"Good, I'll hand him over to you now."

"Additionally, Lin Yinfly, Jia Guang, Niu Biao, you will fully assist Tong Qiang in the examination, quickly uncovering the details of the old minister's attack."

"Yes!"

Lin Yinfly and the others shouted in unison.

...

Zhou Yu's bold move to capture Huang Yu, the leader of the Black Dragon Society, and publicly announce the investigation into the old minister's cause of death rapidly spread in a short time.

Suddenly, many major powers within Hu City were shaken.

Tianyu Commerce Chamber.

First Vice President Wang Hongshan convened an emergency meeting with all the chamber's senior officials.

Soon, most of the senior officials had arrived.

Wang Hongshan sat at the head table, his gaze coldly sweeping over those present, then focusing on Fan Tianlei.

"Vice President Fan, you've probably heard about Minister Zhou Yu from the Martial Pavilion capturing Huang Yu."

Sitting by his side, Fan Tianlei looked extremely troubled.

Of course, he couldn't be unaware of such a significant event.

At this moment, he felt apprehensive and ill at ease.

Because he had been among those who participated in the assault on the previous minister of the Martial Pavilion.

Precisely due to this matter, he rose among the ranks of vice presidents; if Wang Hongshan had not gotten Zhou Yu's support to make Feihong break through to become the Feihong King, then the position of the first vice president of Tianyu Commerce Chamber would have been his.

But now, it was too late.

He not only lost the first vice president position but now Zhou Yu wanted to investigate the reason behind the old minister's death, having captured Huang Yu.

He knew his own exposure would be inevitable eventually.

Moreover, judging from the last time when the president appointed Wang Hongshan as the first vice president, the president seemed inclined to align with Zhou Yu.

Therefore, his heart was filled with fear at this moment.

He looked desperately pale as he turned to Wang Hongshan.

"Vice President Wang, given your good relations with Minister Zhou, could you help me out in this matter...?"

Fan Tianlei's sudden plea for help genuinely surprised Wang Hongshan.

However, a moment's reflection made everything clear.

Yet, he had no intentions of using this matter to suppress Fan Tianlei, considering he had already become the first vice president and now looked at them from a different perspective entirely.

After pondering for a moment, Wang Hongshan said:

"This matter cannot be hidden; instead of waiting for Mr. Zhou to uncover it and come knocking, it's better to confess proactively."

"Confess proactively?" Fan Tianlei's face changed dramatically.

"Wouldn't that be sending me to my death?"

Wang Hongshan coldly responded:

"From what I know about Mr. Zhou, this is your only chance."

"You can refuse, but then the subsequent matters will be yours alone to handle."

Upon hearing this, Fan Tianlei fell silent, and after a long pause, he said weakly:

"Just do it according to Vice President Wang's advice."

"Please arrange an introduction from Vice President Wang."

"No problem," Wang Hongshan agreed.
