Chapter 44

That slap was too loud.

Everyone in the restaurant was stunned.

Iron Lump Wang was shocked in place, his mind completely blank, thoroughly dazed.

Lu Chengwen, after delivering that slap, was also scared stiff. He put his hand behind his back, but it was already trembling slightly.

Lu Chengwen stared with wide eyes: "Tell me, why did you come to the North?"

Iron Lump Wang thought, "It's over, completely over. I really deserve to die!"

This is clearly the Young Master!

I damn well had to go and flirt with the Young Master's woman!

I'm such an idiot! This girl is so beautiful and charming; the Young Master wouldn't let her go!

How could I... How could I offend the Young Master on my first day in the North and even flirt with his woman? What should I do? Will the Young Master stew me?

Lu Chengwen thought, "You better admit your mistake quickly! I'm about to be scared to death!"

Iron Lump Wang didn't react, so Lu Chengwen couldn't let the scene go cold.

Lu Chengwen gritted his teeth and slapped him again: "Speak! Why did you come to the North?"

Iron Lump Wang quickly knelt on one knee: "To assist the Young Master in unifying..."

Lu Chengwen slapped him again: "You really dare to say that?"

Iron Lump Wang was almost in tears: "Young Master, please calm down, your subordinate..."

Lu Chengwen grabbed his neck, gritted his teeth, and said fiercely: "Call me Mr. Lu! You damn fool!"

"Yes, Mr. Lu, your subordinate... I was wrong..."

As soon as Iron Lump Wang knelt, the four people behind him also knelt.

They said in unison: "Please have mercy, Mr. Lu!"

Lu Chengwen said angrily: "You few, pack your things and get out of here! You're going to ruin my big plans!"

Iron Lump Wang quickly pleaded: "Mr. Lu, we know we were wrong! Please give us another chance!"

The four people behind him said in unison: "Please have mercy, Mr. Lu, give us another chance!"

Lu Chengwen pretended to suppress his anger: "Damn it, in Snow City, you must be civilized, polite, humble, and listen to others, or I'll tear your bones out and feed them to the dogs! Understand?"

"Yes! Your subordinate... we understand!"

Lu Chengwen pretended to want to slap him again, but his hand hurt, and he was afraid of overacting.

He said fiercely: "Be more alert in the future!"

Xu Xuejiao thought Lu Chengwen was going to hit them again and came up to hug his arm: "Chengwen, don't hit them anymore. I just wanted them to apologize. It's a small matter, no need to make them kneel!"

Lu Chengwen thought, "Sister, you finally said something reasonable."

If you had calmed things down earlier, would I have had to walk through the gates of hell today?

Lu Chengwen pointed at Xu Xuejiao: "Apologize."

Iron Lump Wang and his four subordinates quickly apologized, making Xu Xuejiao feel embarrassed.

"Alright, alright, forget it. In public places, you should maintain order and have the decency to queue!"

"Yes, yes, we understand."

"Be more polite to girls; men should have some class!"

"Yes, yes, we were wrong."

"And you, big guy, Iron... whatever Wang, don't bully girls, or you'll suffer the consequences."

Lu Chengwen said, "How about I make them kowtow to you a hundred times?"

"No, no."

Xu Xuejiao now wanted to settle things peacefully.

Five big guys kneeling in a row is too embarrassing! She couldn't stand it.

She pushed Lu Chengwen: "Alright, Chengwen, calm down, calm down. Let's go, ignore them. Come on, come on. If it comes to it, I'll wear a JK uniform for you when we get home."

"Are you serious?"

"Of course, let's go!"

Zhao Gang started the car, driving while shaking his head in admiration: "Mr. Lu, I really admire you! You're so bold! I just tested those guys, and two of them are as strong as me... Such a handsome and powerful figure, kneeling before you to apologize, I can't think of any other words to describe your greatness and majesty! Mr. Lu, I really suspect you're a god, just wandering around on earth..."

While Zhao Gang was still praising, Lu Chengwen was already trembling.

Xu Xuejiao looked at Lu Chengwen: "Chengwen, what's wrong? Why are you sweating so much and trembling?"

Lu Chengwen thought, "Did you know I almost died there? Iron Lump Wang! One of the Four Heavenly Kings of the North, a ruthless and brutal character."

He was just acting, putting on a show of being the prince.

If that guy had any brains, I would have been dead.

Xu Xuejiao, seeing Lu Chengwen was not right, quickly took his wrist to check his pulse.

Lu Chengwen pulled his hand back, exhausted: "I'm fine."

Xu Xuejiao said, "A hug?"

Lu Chengwen leaned over, and Xu Xuejiao hugged him.

Holding Lu Chengwen, Xu Xuejiao suddenly blushed, patting him: "Good boy, don't be afraid, Big Sister Xuejiao is here..."

Lu Chengwen sighed.

This seems to have gone too far. When Iron Lump Wang realizes I was fooling him and slapped him, he'll definitely come after me.

...

Iron Lump Wang, after being slapped, stood at the restaurant door, watching the luxury car drive away, frowning, and then slapped himself hard.

"Damn it, I offended the Young Master on my first day here. I really didn't see it coming!"

"Iron Wang, is that person really the Young Master?"

"How could it be fake? Look at his charming, free-spirited, and casual demeanor; then look at his fierce and powerful anger; and his arrogant and relentless attitude. Who else in the world could have such a presence besides the Young Master?"

"Doesn't this count as a contribution? After all, we helped the Young Master put on a show."

"Yes." Iron Lump Wang nodded: "These slaps have established a close relationship with the Young Master. I think this is a good start, don't you think?"

...

Lu Chengwen was furious.

Xu Xuejiao, this troublemaker, was pushing him to his limits. Without her, he wouldn't have gotten into such a mess today.

But without her, he might not have known that Iron Lump Wang was already in the North.

Sigh, one step at a time.

Lu Chengwen didn't know that Leng Qingqiu insisted on following him for the slum renovation project, but Long Aotian kept recommending the amusement park project to Leng Tianhao.

However, Lu Chengwen, to help Leng Qingqiu, directly transferred one billion into her personal account. Leng Qingqiu refused to use this one billion, keeping it as personal funds.

The group could mobilize several billion in cash, and they took out another billion in loans, making a total of 4.9 billion, which was quickly signed with Li Meiqin, and the funds were directly transferred to the Great Sage Group's account.

This made Leng Tianhao furious but helpless.

Long Aotian felt he was in trouble.

For some reason, his life had been smooth sailing, but now in Snow City, he was stumbling at every step.

According to his plan, everything should have been smooth sailing, everything should have been easy, and everything should have gone according to his wishes!

But reality was harsh, and his plans were like lightning.

Just a single Leng family, and he couldn't handle it!

Long Aotian had no choice but to send a distress signal to his organization—the "Great" organization.

Why is it called the "Great" organization? Probably because the author likes "Naruto."

In any case, the North branch of the Great organization sent one of the Four Heavenly Kings, Iron Lump Wang, with 5 billion in cash to assist.

Everything revolved around that piece of land.

If that piece of land couldn't be secured, everything else was pointless.

Securing that piece of land, making a profit, would prove his business acumen and management skills to Leng Tianhao and Leng Qingqiu.

Then he could take over the Thousand Peaks Group smoothly.

Money wasn't a problem for Long Aotian. Once he secured the four major families, their money would be his, and he could take as much as he wanted.

Those girls would line up, begging him to use their money. And if he didn't use someone's money, they would worry and fear losing his favor.

Thinking of this, Long Aotian smiled.

He fantasized about his bright future.

Now everything was ready, except for the initial funding from Iron Lump Wang.

...

In Lu Chengwen's private villa.

As he requested, a new villa was bought, fully furnished, with minor modifications.

Money talks, and the construction team worked incredibly fast.

The decoration style was exactly what he liked—artistic and luxurious, yet low-key and simple.

Lying in bed, Lu Chengwen looked at the ceiling, exhausted.

His path seemed to be at an end.

What to do after offending Iron Lump Wang? Not to mention Iron Lump Wang, any of his subordinates could easily take him out, as easily as opening a bottle of drink.

Zhao Gang was clearly scared earlier, right?

This guy thought he was a tough fighter, but he had never experienced such a hidden threat.

The fact that he changed his expression and tried to sneak away shows how terrifying those four killers were.

Lu Chengwen suddenly sat up: "If I leave this city, what can they do? Who can stop me?"

Thinking of this, Lu Chengwen jumped up, but as soon as he landed, the door opened, and a girl walked in.

Xu Xuejiao walked in wearing a JK uniform.

Lu Chengwen was surprised: "What are you doing?"

Xu Xuejiao smiled: "Wearing a uniform for you to see. Aren't you a big pervert who likes to see girls in uniforms?"

Xu Xuejiao even turned around, showing off her figure.

It had to be said, Xu Xuejiao looked really good in a uniform.

Or rather, not just good, but... seductive.
