” Chu Yue Yue, have you forgotten what we said before?!” Xu Jia Lu straight away questioned her once the call got through.
” Huh?!”
Chu Yue Yue didn’t expect Xu Jia Lu to question her the moment she picked up
the call.
She couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.” Lu Lu, did you eat gunpowder? What
kind of question was that?!”
“Hmph!”
” Chu Yue Yue, the four of us agreed that no one was allowed to shamelessly look for Zhao Yu. How dare you go against our agreement?!” Xu Jia Lu snorted coldly.
“… Zhao Yu?”
” You found him?!” Chu Yue Yue’s voice sounded a little strange. Again, she said nervously,” You really found him?!
She never thought that she would hear this name once again.
” Hmph, you contacted Zhao Yu behind our back and helped him defeat the Han Family. Do you think we don’t know?!”
Xu Jia Lu sneered, “Remember who helped you. Imagine what would happen if I
told Fang Yue E about this…”
“Wait a minute!”
Chu Yue Yue quickly responding, “Xu Jia Lu, are you crazy? When did I ever get involved with Zhao Yu?”
“Still pretending?!”
Xu Jia Lu snapped, “Zhao Yu established Zhao Family Fortress, and you dare say you and Peace Town aren’t supporting him?”
“How many people from your Peace Town have disappeared recently?”
“Zhao Family Fortress was established by Zhao Yu?!
She had been busy with important matters lately and hadn’t paid much attention to major events in the wilderness. She only heard that someone surnamed Zhao had established a Zhao Family Fortress.
Normally, she would pay attention to such news, but currently, she was preoccupied with something much more significant for Peace Town. “Still playing dumb, you wretch. Just wait for Fang Yue E to call you!”
Xu Jia Lu hung up the phone in anger.
On the other end, Chu Yue Yue was utterly confused, feeling like she was
wrongly accused.
“What the hell is that crazy woman talking about?!”
With no choice, Chu Yue Yue called Fang Yue E.
She need to relay everything Xu Jia Lu had said.
After a moment, Fang Yue E’s voice came through.
“You mean, Zhao Family Fortress was established by Zhao Yu?!”
“That’s what Xu Jia Lu said…”
“Where did he get the soldiers to defeat the Han family’s troops?!
“Fang, it wasn’t me, I didn’t help him!” Chu Yue Yue said anxiously, “I only
found out about Zhao Yu today from Xu Jia Lu…”
There was a moment of silence on the other end before the voice continued, “Then where did the people who disappeared from your Peace Town go?!” Chu Yue Yue didn’t dare to hide anything, quickly explaining, “Fang, I plan to turn Peace Town into Peace City. Recently, I dispatched three to four thousand people to absorb the surrounding wilderness forces…”
“Is that so?!”
Hearing the implications in Fang Yue E’s voice, Chu Yue Yue became anxious. Without Fang Yue E, Peace Town wouldn’t be as powerful as it is.
She explained repeatedly, detailing her recent actions and plans.
After a while, Fang Yue E seemed to believe her, “I understand. If you’re not lying, and if you can withstand the pressure and really build a city, I will help you…”
Chu Yue Yue let out a sigh of relief and quickly said, “Thank you, Sister Fang. I was planning to call you once everything was arranged properly and ensure nothing went wrong…”
“That’s all.” Fang Yue E said, evidently uninterested in her city-building plans, and hung up the phone.
“Phew!”
Chu Yue Yue exhaled deeply, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
She couldn’t help but curse, “That damn Xu Jia Lu, jumping to conclusions and almost ruining my plans…”
She felt helpless but had no choice.
After all, Xu Jia Lu had a better relationship with Fang Yue E.
“Zhao Yu is still alive…”
However, what she didn’t expect was to hear news about Zhao Yu in her
lifetime.
Though he had disappeared for many years, he had never truly vanished. For instance, she and Xu Jia Lu’s achievements were partly due to their connection with Zhao Yu.
Originally, she, Chu Yue Yue, didn’t know Fang Yue E. Years ago, when Fang Yue E approached her to reveal Zhao Yu’s infidelity, that’s when they got to know each other.
Later, finding out they were both wealthy second-generation daughters, their interactions deepened.
Unbeknownst to her, this relationship with Fang Yue E became their support after the apocalypse.
“Zhao Yu is still alive… I wonder how Fang Yue E will deal with him…”
“Zhao Family Fortress has grown so big…” Luo Bing accompanied by Meng Xian, wandered around Zhao Family Fortress, her eyes filled with astonishment.
“Haha, all thanks to our lord’s foresight in planning from the start…” Meng Xian said proudly, “These days, over a dozen villages around us have wanting to join Zhao Family Fortress…
“Several villages and small towns have also established cooperative relationships with us.”
She was quite proud of this achievement, surpassing her past accomplishments.
At the very least, when she was the head of Meng House Village, she couldn’t achieve this level.
Now, as just the deputy lord, those once-high-and-mighty villages and small towns were extremely cautious around her.
As if they feared upsetting her, and Zhao Family Fortress might attack them. Zhao Yu’s victory over the Han family’s troops seemed like a minor event within Black Rock City..
