Chapter 49

The car door was pulled open again, and Lu Chengwen lifted his head, looking at the fuming Xu Xuejiao: "What now?"

Xu Xuejiao shouted: "This is my car!"

...

Lu Chengwen walked aimlessly through the streets of Xuecheng, dispirited.

He didn't call Zhao Gang to pick him up; he needed to calm down.

He hadn't smoked in a long time, but now, facing a certain death, he didn't care anymore. He bought a pack of cigarettes and walked aimlessly while smoking.

A car suddenly stopped beside him. Hua Xueni got out and, before Lu Chengwen could say a word, knocked him unconscious and dragged him into the car.

When Lu Chengwen woke up, he found himself tied to a chair.

A spotlight shone on him, blinding him, and he could barely make out the silhouette of a man.

"Lu Chengwen, you really are a tough one."

"Long Aotian?" Lu Chengwen felt a sudden sense of despair.

Falling into his hands, would he have any good outcome?

"I couldn't do anything!" Lu Chengwen quickly explained: "He wanted to flirt with Xu Xuejiao as soon as they met. You weren't there, and I couldn't beat him. I couldn't let him bully Xu Xuejiao, right? Xu Xuejiao is part of your harem, isn't she? So I was protecting her for you!"

"Then why did you pretend to be me in the café and get him to invest fifty billion in your project?"

"Bro! In that situation, could I tell the truth? I slapped him four times to protect Xu Xuejiao. If he found out I lied, he would definitely kill me! Would you speak up for me?"

"Haha, absolutely not."

"So I had no choice!"

"Hmm, then don't blame me. I have no choice either."

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, I won't take your life."

Long Aotian said gloomily: "I didn't expect that for a mere fifty billion, I would have to use the Shape-Shifting Technique."

"What... what are you talking about?"

Long Aotian pushed away the spotlight and patted Lu Chengwen's face.

"To get that fifty billion as soon as possible, I don't have time to waste. I'll borrow your face for a while to get that fool to transfer the money. After that..."

Long Aotian gritted his teeth: "I've already swallowed up three major families, and now it's your turn, the Lu family! Xue Ni, prepare."

"Hey, hey, hey, what are you going to do! Stop! We can talk this out, I'll give you fifty billion, I'll give you..."

Hua Xueni walked up: "Shut up. I won't take your life, just temporarily swap your face with the Young Master's. It won't hurt or itch, but within twelve hours, you won't be yourself anymore."

"Damn! You bunch of lunatics! How can you know all these bizarre tricks! This is unfair! I'm just a villain with money, and you keep sending experts and magical items. Do you think I'll let you show off? I look down on you! I look down on you!"

Long Aotian and Hua Xueni ignored Lu Chengwen.

"Young Master, the Shape-Shifting Technique, with your current injuries, might not last long, and once used, your strength might decline further in the near future."

"No matter." Long Aotian was determined: "Strength isn't very useful now. The world isn't just about fighting; it's about human relationships. If I can't handle this, unifying the four major families of Xuecheng will be impossible. Besides, it's just a few hours, no problem."

...

At the same time.

Tie Tuowang stood in front of a hotel's floor-to-ceiling window, head bowed: "Yes, yes, I was wrong, I... I'm sorry, Strategist, I didn't expect it."

The Strategist was furious: "You didn't expect it? You can even recognize your own master, but you can be so wrong?"

"But when I came, I had no name, no number, not even a secret code..."

"The Young Master is no ordinary person! He can't be associated with our organization. Do you think he would use a secret code like you?"

"No, no, that's not what I meant. The key is that Lu Chengwen is too bad. He's really... charming, seductive, surrounded by beauties, and extremely arrogant!"

"I don't care what your pig brain is thinking! You are responsible for this mess!"

"Yes, yes, I will find the Young Master and admit my mistake."

"If you don't handle this well, bring your head back to me!"

The Strategist hung up the phone in anger.

Tie Tuowang closed his eyes and raised his head.

"I've disgraced myself."

"Tie Wang, could it be... that Long Aotian is the Young Master?"

Tie Tuowang clenched his phone so hard it broke.

He gritted his teeth: "Lu Chengwen! This bastard! How dare he treat me like a monkey!"

Tie Tuowang turned and grabbed his subordinate by the collar, teeth bared: "He slapped me four times in public and called me an idiot! It's... too much!"

The subordinate said: "Calm down, Tie Wang. We'll find him and take care of him."

Tie Tuowang pushed him away: "Of course, we'll take care of him."

He took a deep breath: "But not now. We can't disrupt the Young Master's plans in Xuecheng. I can't kill him, but I can't let him walk around freely either. I've been in the underworld for so long, and I've never been humiliated like this! In my entire career as a hitman, I've never experienced such a disgrace!"

"We'll set out now, break his legs, and make him use a wheelchair!"

"No! I'll do it myself! I won't rest until I deal with that Lu!"

...

After a long time, Lu Chengwen woke up.

He felt no discomfort, but being in a dark, unknown place still made him uneasy.

What to do? He needed to think of a way and couldn't just wait to die.

Right! The Flash Card!

Lu Chengwen summoned the homework system and chose the Flash Card with his mind.

Flash!

Lu Chengwen flashed downward because flashing out would free him from the bindings but still keep him in the room, where he would be trapped.

It seemed to be in a building, so flashing downward should take him to another floor, allowing him to escape.

With a thud, Lu Chengwen fell into a large bathtub.

A woman in the bathtub immediately screamed and jumped up.

Lu Chengwen fell in, surfaced, and saw... Leng Qingqiu.

Leng Qingqiu grabbed a towel, covering her chest and retreating to a corner, terrified: "Long Aotian! What are you doing!?"

Lu Chengwen quickly said: "It's me, I'm Lu Chengwen!"

"You're lying! Get out, or I'll call for help!"

"No! Don't call, I really am Lu Chengwen. Long Aotian gave me his face!"

Leng Qingqiu's long legs, just out of the water, were truly stunning.

Water flowed down her legs, making them even more alluring.

"You... Qingqiu, you should cover your lower part first."

"Ahh!" Leng Qingqiu screamed and quickly used the towel to cover her lower part.

Now, Leng Qingqiu was both scared and flustered, covering her lower part but neglecting her upper part, pressing her full chest with her forearm, deforming the round shapes.

Lu Chengwen quickly grabbed a towel and gave it to her.

Leng Qingqiu reached out, suddenly realizing she was exposed, and quickly covered herself: "You... get out!"

Lu Chengwen couldn't afford to be picky, walked to her, and covered her body with the towel.

"Qingqiu, listen to me, I'm Lu Chengwen! I confessed to you at a Mid-Autumn Festival party three years ago, and you splashed red wine on my face and told me to get lost. Your birthday is in early x, and besides economics, you also like music and art. If you didn't have to do business, you would become a painter. Your favorite instruments are the piano and cello. You like Sichuan cuisine, but it's too spicy, so you don't eat much. Your former best friend who betrayed you is Wan Xiaoling. And for the past three years, I've been sending you lilies, your favorite flower... I really am Lu Chengwen."

Leng Qingqiu was stunned.

Long Aotian wouldn't know these things; only a devoted admirer would.

"You... really... are... Lu Chengwen?"

Leng Qingqiu decided to test him: "Okay, if you're Lu Chengwen, tell me Uncle Lu's phone number. There's a landline here. Call him immediately and have him arrange our engagement."

Lu Chengwen, not knowing what Leng Qingqiu was up to, frowned.

"Engagement? I already said we're not suitable! If I call him, he'll beat me to death with a broom!"

"Think of something in your mind."

"What?"

"I don't care, just think of something in your mind right now."

"This..."

"Think fast! Or I'll call the police!"

Lu Chengwen had no choice but to think:

[You brat, I'm thinking! I'll rip off your towel, pin you down on the massage bed, and spank you!]

Leng Qingqiu heard the familiar thoughts and finally confirmed it was Lu Chengwen.

"Really is you?"

"Really works?"

"How... did you become Long Aotian's appearance?"

"It's a long story. This guy knows some Shape-Shifting Technique to use my face to trick Tie Tuowang into transferring money."

"Such a technique exists!?"

"Who knows! Only he knows these bizarre tricks. Hurry up and get dressed, I won't look."

Lu Chengwen turned around.

Leng Qingqiu quickly put on a bathrobe, occasionally glancing at Lu Chengwen.

[Actually, a few glances wouldn't hurt, right? Why am I being so gentlemanly?]

[In this situation, if I don't bring it up, she should accept it.]

[Damn, why am I still thinking about this! Think about how to survive first!]

Leng Qingqiu laughed, confirming Lu Chengwen's identity.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door.

Han Yue said: "President Leng, President Lu is here to discuss the investment project."

"Got it."

"President Leng, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Really?"

Leng Qingqiu rolled her eyes: "Really fine!"

"But I just heard your voice..."

Lu Chengwen was angry: "She said she's fine!"

Han Yue was stunned, hearing a man's voice inside!

Leng Qingqiu hit Lu Chengwen and opened the door slightly: "Han Yue."

"President Leng, you..."

"It's fine."

Seeing Leng Qingqiu was fine, Han Yue was relieved.

The boss... is human, after all. Keeping a beauty in a golden house... is understandable.

Leng Qingqiu saw through her subordinate's thoughts and smiled: "It's Lu Chengwen."

"Oh!" Han Yue sighed in relief, patting her chest. If it were anyone else, she would be worried, but with Lu Chengwen, there was no need to worry.

First, their engagement was no longer a secret.

Second, anyone in the world could harm President Leng, except Lu Chengwen, who would rather die than let her suffer.

Leng Qingqiu, feeling embarrassed, said with a red face: "I don't know how he got into my room. Go stabilize the outside, I'll come out soon."

Han Yue smiled: "I understand, no problem, I'll go out first. Take your time, you two... can continue."

Before Leng Qingqiu could explain, Han Yue had already left.

Leng Qingqiu turned and glared at Lu Chengwen.

Han Yue found it increasingly amusing. This pair had been at odds for three years, causing chaos and embarrassment for everyone.

But... after all this, it seems they are finally together.

Han Yue sighed in relief, walked out to the meeting room, and was stunned.

Right!

There's another Lu Chengwen outside!

Who's inside!?

Is President Leng cheating!?

Han Yue was lost in thought, and the story continued.
