“Miss, you were looking for me…” Luo Bing said respectfully.
In front of her, Xu Jia Lu was applying nail polish on her nails.
“Um…”
She nodded slightly and said, “I have a task for you…”
“Miss, I would go through fire and water for you!”
Luo Bing spoke earnestly. She had managed to become a third-tier enhance due to Xu Jia Lu.
Outsiders thought she had broken through to the third tier on her own, but in reality, her smooth progression was all thanks to the special potion she received from the Re Zhao Corporation.
Tthe difficulty of her breakthrough was significantly reduced.
For Xu Jia Lu, though the special potion given could increase the chances of success, there was still a risk of death. With her status, she naturally didn’t need to use it personally.
Xu Jia Lu smiled, knowing Luo Bing’s character, and took out a crumpled photo from a small package on the table.
It was a torn photo, showing only a boy around fifteen or sixteen years old, smiling brightly.
“Take this photo, go to the wilderness, and check if Zhao Yu from Zhao Family Town is the same person in this photo…”
Zhao Yu?!
Luo Bing was startled, recalling the wealthy client she met in Peace Town.
She looked at the photo and was shocked.
The person in the photo, though young, vaguely resembled Zhao Yu.
“This person…”
Xu Jia Lu noticed the expression of in Luo Bing and asked, “Have you met him?!”
“Miss, I took on a task from a wealthy client in Peace Town, and the client looks similar to this person…”
Luo Bing was uneasy. The photo was obviously torn from a group picture, and from the way Xu Jia Lu had handled it, it seemed to be a photo of her with Zhao Yu.
Then, the relationship between these two…
“Oh?!”
Xu Jia Lu became interested and asked, “Tell me about it!”
Luo Bing recounted in detail the events that had occurred during her visit to Peace Town.
As she mentioned that after parting with Zhao Yu and others, gunshots rang out in the city, attracting a large number of mutants, Xu Jia Lu’s eyes sparkled with interest.
“I remember, you’ve been to Peace Town for about five or six days, right?!”
“Yes…”
Xu Jia Lu quietly calculated and realized that the incident in Peace Town happened before the one in Wild Wolf Town, which meant Zhao Yu had safely returned to Zhao Family Town. This gave her a sigh of relief.
Deep down, she hated Zhao Yu.
That year, she was only thirteen, just starting junior high, at the peak of hormonal changes.
Then, she met a prince charming of her dreams.
Compared to her classmates, Zhao Yu was mature, gentle, considerate, and charming.
It didn’t take long for him to capture her heart.
They quickly became couple, inseparable and deeply in love.
At that time, she considered to spend the rest of her life with Zhao Yu.
Those three years in junior high were indeed the happiest times of her life.
After she started high school, Zhao Yu secretly pursued her best friend, Fang Yue E, and even cheated behind her.
Initially, she was unaware of this and Fang Yue E also kept it a secret, feeling guilty and uneasy.
It wasn’t until near graduation, when Zhao Yu started his own business and needed funds, that involved the Fang family.
Upon investigation, they discovered Zhao Yu was not simple at all; he was dating four girlfriends at the same time, none of them knew about it.
All his girlfriends were wealthy and beautiful. Even the least wealthy among them came from families with assets over a hundred million. Fang Yue E, being the most affluent, was the daughter of the province’s richest family, with connections spanning military, political, and commercial circles.
The Fang family had no reason to cover for Zhao Yu and revealed everything they found to Fang Yue E.
Only then did Fang Yue E realize the man she secretly loved and deceived her best friend for was such a despicable person.
She immediately gathered Zhao Yu’s other three girlfriends, shared the investigation results and confronted him.
In the end, all four women confronted Zhao Yu together and broke up with him.
After that incident, Xu Jia Lu became wary of falling in love easily.
Even if she met a man who seemed perfect, she would wonder if he was like Zhao Yu, approaching her with ulterior motives.
According to Fang Yue E’s investigation, Zhao Yu had meticulously studied their personalities and preferences to win them over.
Although Xu Jia Lu had parted ways with Zhao Yu, she still silently kept tabs on him.
She watched as Zhao Yu climbed from the bottom to amass a fortune of over a hundred million.
Unfortunately, the apocalypse arrived too soon. In a world where military, political, and commercial giants ruled, wealthy businessmen without backgrounds fell the fastest.
On the contrary, those with military backgrounds became the darlings of the new era.
People like Fang Yue E who were only slightly better off than Xu Jia Lu and others, soared with the apocalypse’s arrival.
The Fang family rose to prominence, forming the Fang Group, with businesses spanning two countries.
Most importantly, someone from the Fang family had reached high ranks in the military, and in the fractured global environment. They successfully secured a military base with nuclear weapons.
The Fang family became one of the top global powers, possessing nuclear weapons and the deterrence they bring.
Nowadays, the top families are those with nuclear weapons..
