Urban Supreme Evil Young Master

After hearing Marcus’s words, Lu Yu instructed some specific details and then got up and walked directly into the elevator of Victory Group, heading straight to Leng Qingqiu’s office on the top floor.

This time he was going to Jinling City to handle matters concerning the Zhou Family, which would definitely take more than one or two days.

So, now he needed to ask Leng Qingqiu for leave.

Taking the elevator to the top floor of Victory Group, Lu Yu went directly to Leng Qingqiu’s office.

At this moment, Leng Qingqiu was staring at the computer screen in front of her, deep in thought. Her beautiful face reflected a focused elegance.

Seeing Leng Qingqiu like this, Lu Yu smiled slightly and tapped the office door with his finger, then said, ”What are you thinking about?”

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu’s body shivered slightly. She turned her beautiful eyes towards Lu Yu and said, ”Nothing, just some matters regarding the group’s operations.”

Saying this, Leng Qingqiu’s gaze shifted to Lu Yu, and she asked, ”So, do you have something to discuss?”

Her tone was straightforward—because her office was quite far from Lu Yu’s security department, and they seldom chatted, Lu Yu must have something important this time.

”So smart.”

Hearing her, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, ”I’m here to ask for a week’s leave.”

Lu Yu’s words were very natural, with a hint of lightness.

”Leave?”

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu’s brow furrowed slightly, and she asked, ”Why do you need leave? Is there something going on?”

Every time Lu Yu asked for leave, something would happen, so now when Lu Yu asked for leave, Leng Qingqiu instinctively probed.

”I have some private matters to attend to, and I need some time.”

Hearing Leng Qingqiu’s inquiry, Lu Yu responded, his words exceptionally straight-forward, giving an impression of simple indifference.

Private matters?

Upon hearing this, a touch of suspicion flowed through Leng Qingqiu’s heart. She raised an eyebrow and asked, ”Is it similar to the situation with Song Qiguang in Beigang City?”

The last time Lu Yu took leave to go to Beigang City, the high-ranking assistant chief of police, Song Qiguang, was killed by a shark. Now that Lu Yu was asking for leave again, Leng Qingqiu’s thoughts couldn’t help but lean in that direction.

”Pretty much.”

Hearing this, Lu Yu replied calmly.

Since Leng Qingqiu already knew part of his affairs, Lu Yu didn’t need to hide much in his words.

”Alright then.”

Hearing Lu Yu’s words, Leng Qingqiu shook her head and said, ”Thank you for your honesty.”

Her words carried a trace of helplessness.

”Oh?”

Hearing this, Lu Yu raised an eyebrow and asked, ”Does that mean you are agreeing to my leave?”

Unconsciously, Lu Yu’s words carried a hint of playfulness.

For some reason, Leng Qingqiu appeared much more adorable in Lu Yu’s eyes than before; at the very least, she wasn’t sporting her usual icy demeanor towards him.

”Does it matter if I agree or not?”

Leng Qingqiu shrugged and said, ”Even if I don’t approve, you’re still going.”

Her words were bland but without the usual coldness, almost self-deprecating.

Hearing this, Lu Yu couldn’t help but smile.

Leng Qingqiu’s words hit the nail on the head. He was asking for leave out of respect for her, but even if she didn’t approve, he would still go to Jinling City.

After all, opportunities are not to be missed, and this chance is rare. Missing it would make dealing with the Zhou Family incredibly difficult!

So, whether or not Leng Qingqiu approved, Lu Yu was still going.

Thinking of this, Lu Yu shook his head and said, ”I didn’t expect you’d understand me so well.”

”Just used to it.”

Hearing Lu Yu’s words, Leng Qingqiu shook her head. Her beautiful eyes turned to Lu Yu, and she asked, ”By the way, which city are you going to this time?”

Lu Yu asking for leave meant that he would absolutely not be in Lin’an City, so instinctively Leng Qingqiu asked about his destination.

”Jinling City.”

Hearing Leng Qingqiu’s question, Lu Yu answered lightly, sounding extraordinarily natural.

Jinling City?

Upon hearing this, Leng Qingqiu was momentarily stunned, with a hint of confusion in her eyes. She did not understand why Lu Yu was going to Jinling City this time.

But even though puzzled, Leng Qingqiu didn’t ask because she knew that even if she did, she wouldn’t get an answer.

And based on previous experience, if Lu Yu’s trip to Jinling City was similar to the Beigang City situation, she would soon see details in the news reports.

”Alright, I got it. Take care of yourself.”

Thinking this, Leng Qingqiu responded instinctively.

”Oh?”

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu’s voice stretched out slightly, and he asked, ”Are you worried about me?”

His tone had a playful note, knowing that the former ice-cold Leng Qingqiu would never have expressed such concern.

However, today Leng Qingqiu spoke such words, indeed surprising Lu Yu.

”Just a casual comment.”

With Lu Yu’s question, Leng Qingqiu’s snow-white cheeks blushed slightly. She didn’t know why she instinctively expressed such concern.

”Alright, I got it.”

Hearing Leng Qingqiu’s response, Lu Yu smiled.

Then, he turned slightly, looked at Leng Qingqiu, and said, ”By the way, I must say, today you look much cuter than usual.”

With that, Lu Yu walked out of Leng Qingqiu’s office, his steps steady and exceptionally graceful.

Hearing Lu Yu’s words and watching him leave, a blush unwittingly appeared on Leng Qingqiu’s beautiful face. It was her first time being called cute.

Since she was young, Leng Qingqiu had always been called beautiful, an ice beauty, but this was the first time anyone had complimented her on her cuteness directly.

After hearing this, Leng Qingqiu’s delicate face turned red, and a slight warmth flowed through her heart—a warmth that made her feel particularly comfortable now.
