MTLNOVEL Chapter 240: So That's How It Is
Upon hearing Ma Jie's words, Lu Yu couldn't help but be taken aback; three days later, there would indeed only be three days left until the time Marcus mentioned.
"So that's it."
Thinking of this, Lu Yu immediately pieced together the cause and effect and then revealed a slight smile.
If what Ma Jie said is accurate, then this Luo Tong must be the Jin Family's contact person in LA City. He manages and collects the monthly income from the Jin Family's properties in LA City and oversees the status of each enterprise manager!
Previously, according to Marcus's words, this Luo Tong has also disappeared many times but has always returned, which should be the same reason!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but laugh. Now, he had sorted out all the clues at his current position clearly, his mind was clearer, and he was quite certain about capturing this Luo Tong!
If Luo Tong is the Jin Family's contact person in LA City, he must stay here and fulfill his duties!
Thus, Lu Yu had numerous opportunities to capture this Luo Tong!
Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but reveal a cold smile at the corner of his mouth. His gaze glanced down at Ma Jie, then he spoke: "Ma Jie, your performance is quite good today, so let's end things here."
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Ma Jie's initially tense expression slowly relaxed, as if he had just received a great amnesty, feeling a sense of having narrowly escaped disaster.
"But!"
Just as Ma Jie started to relax, Lu Yu's voice suddenly came again: "Ma Jie, there's something that's not suitable to say too explicitly. I want to ask you, how do you plan to handle today's events?"
In his speech, Lu Yu looked at Ma Jie with a gaze full of amusement, which also carried a hint of threat.
Today's events absolutely cannot be leaked. Otherwise, if we startle the snake, it will be even harder to catch Luo Tong. Moreover, even the currently known Fengbo Manor Bar might be quickly sold off, and by then, the Jin Family would definitely vanish from his sight.
So Lu Yu absolutely wouldn't allow such a thing to happen!
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Ma Jie immediately caught on. As the person in charge of this bar, Ma Jie wasn't foolish; he understood the underlying meaning behind Lu Yu's words and swiftly put on a smiling face, saying: "Rest assured, you can count on me. Nothing happened here today, and I will definitely keep the staff in check to prevent them from talking randomly!"
At this moment, Ma Jie thoroughly understood that the person in front of him was probably after the Jin Family and Luo Tong. Although he was a subordinate of the Jin Family, he was merely an obscure bar manager. If he stubbornly refused to cooperate with Lu Yu now, that would definitely be courting death!
"Very good."
Upon hearing Ma Jie's words, Lu Yu nodded, showing a cold smile: "Ma Jie, you're perceptive, but I still need to give you a reminder here."
Stopping slightly, Lu Yu moved closer to Ma Jie's ear and said: "If today's events leak out and Luo Tong finds out, I think the outcome doesn't need me to explain further, right?"
"Understood! Understood!"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Ma Jie nodded frantically, his speech full of panic: "Rest assured, it was just two drunk troublemakers, and they've been dealt with. It has nothing to do with you two!"
Ma Jie kept nodding in agreement, not daring to offend Lu Yu at all. Just from Lu Yu's terrifying skills and the murderous aura he exuded earlier, Ma Jie knew Lu Yu's words were serious.
Upon hearing Ma Jie's assurance, Lu Yu nodded, patting Ma Jie on the shoulder, then slowly walked out of Fengbo Manor Bar with Yunting.
"Boss, that kid was too arrogant earlier; should we call the police?"
Just after Lu Yu and Yunting left, one of the subordinates came up to Ma Jie, speaking with a tone full of slavish flattery.
"Call the damn police!"
Upon hearing the subordinate's words, Ma Jie angrily slapped the subordinate's face, saying: "I tell you, regard today's event as unseen, and if anyone is foolish enough to leak it, they better prepare for my wrath!"
Damn it, I finally sent this man off, and now one of my clueless subordinates is suggesting calling the police; Ma Jie felt like exploding with rage.
Originally, Ma Jie was furious after being beaten by Lu Yu earlier, with no outlet for his anger; now, encountering this blind subordinate, Ma Jie used him as a punching bag.
...
After leaving Fengbo Manor Bar, Lu Yu took out his phone and immediately called Marcus, saying: "Marcus, have someone keep a close watch over the next two days. If Luo Tong appears at your shooting range, inform me immediately, got it?"
"Sir, based on past situations, Luo Tong is likely to return in three days; should I move in to detain him then?"
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Marcus spoke respectfully.
"No need! Just inform me immediately; don't act rashly, you're not his match!"
Responding, Lu Yu hurriedly said.
He had witnessed some of Luo Tong's skills before; even after being pursued relentlessly, Luo Tong managed to escape, indicating his impressive skills. Thus, Marcus acting hastily would only startle the snake, counteracting the plan!
"Understood, sir. As soon as Luo Tong appears, I'll inform you immediately."
Marcus replied at once.
"Very good."
After hearing Marcus's reply, Lu Yu nodded and hung up the phone, revealing a cold smile: "Luo Tong? If you have the guts, stay hidden; once you show yourself, you'll find there's no escape!"
