Chapter 69

While Lu Chengwen was subduing Iron Lump King, Long Aotian was not idle either.

"Strategist, what kind of thing did you send me? Huh!? Damn, he kept mistaking people, and beat me to death... Let's not mention that, he couldn't do anything to me, but the 50 billion in cash, he gave it to Lu Chengwen for charity!"

"Is there something wrong here? Iron Lump King has always been quite reliable in his work!"

"Of course there's something wrong! He mistook the people and the accounts!" Long Aotian was furious: "I don't care, the loss of this money is on you. Send someone over quickly with 50 billion, I don't have much time left. Whether I can take down the Leng family depends on these few days!"

"Alright, but 50 billion is not a small amount. Can we... slightly reduce it?"

"Is the amount big or small my concern?" Long Aotian said angrily: "That 50 billion was wasted by your people, and I think Iron Lump King is about to jump ship."

"He wouldn't dare."

"He wouldn't dare? Does he have any other choice now? You need to clean up your ranks quickly. This little matter shouldn't require my intervention, right? I can't make a big fuss now, I need to maintain my image as an elite expert and take down the major families!"

"Understood, I will get Copper Lump King over there as soon as possible. First, to raise a new fund for the minority, and second, to clean up the ranks. Do we need to directly eliminate Lu Chengwen?"

Long Aotian was almost exasperated: "Why would we eliminate Lu Chengwen? He can't die now! He will die eventually, but it has to be by my hand, not now! Don't always do things that are counterproductive. My goal is the Leng family! The Leng family's hundred billion assets! Lu Chengwen is a secondary matter!"

"Understood, Young Master, please calm down. I will get things in order as soon as possible."

"Calm down, calm down... " Long Aotian hung up the phone, still fuming: "In the end, the money went into Lu Chengwen's account, and a group of people followed him. Not only did I get beaten up, but I also fell off a cliff. Ha, I thought I had met a great master and could learn some rare skills, but in the end, he and Lu Chengwen became sworn brothers! Now, I can't even kill him myself! I'm so angry! I'm absolutely furious!"

Hua Xuening also said resentfully: "He even kissed me twice! Although it was to save me, and it felt quite nice, I still can't forgive him!"

Long Aotian looked at her and said gloomily: "Your little matter is nothing! 50 billion! This bastard cost me 50 billion! If this gets out, I'll be utterly humiliated!"

"However, now that Young Master and he are from the same master, why not consider pulling him over and incorporating him into your ranks?" Hua Xuening suggested.

Long Aotian was taken aback: "That can be considered."

He paced back and forth: "Lu Chengwen... although he has no skills, he has a certain aura of evil. For some reason, whenever I encounter him, things don't go smoothly. If he could work for me, the situation would change greatly!"

At that moment, there were light footsteps at the door. Although very light, Long Aotian's hearing was sharp enough to detect them.

"Who's there?"

"It's your subordinate, Luo Shiyin, paying respects to Young Master."

Long Aotian laughed: "Shiyin is here! Come in!"

The door opened, and Luo Shiyin entered gracefully with a gentle smile: "I could hear Young Master's temper from a few miles away."

Long Aotian walked over and excitedly grabbed Luo Shiyin's hands: "Shiyin, I missed you so much, why did you take so long to get here?"

Luo Shiyin tapped Long Aotian's nose with a smile: "There were some things on the way that delayed me. What's wrong? Did Young Master encounter a difficult situation?"

"Exactly."

Long Aotian said: "I had a rough start, many girls were taken by Lu Chengwen, Iron Lump King beat me up and gave the money to Lu Chengwen, I fell off a cliff, and thought I would have a great adventure, but Lu Chengwen also followed down. We were forced to become sworn brothers by an old lunatic. Now, I have no money, no girls, and don't know how to handle the Leng family. I'm really..."

Luo Shiyin's lips twitched, thinking, what's wrong with our Young Master?

This disjointed talk, who can understand?

"Young Master, please take your time. Who is this Lu Chengwen?"

Hua Xuening gritted her teeth: "A scumbag! Lecherous, arrogant, bizarre, and perverted. He kissed me twice and even touched my chest!"

"Is that the point?" Long Aotian said: "He is the eldest son of the Lu family, the head of Dashing Group, and has repeatedly ruined my plans. Without him, I would have taken down Leng Qingqiu long ago. In short, help me deal with Lu Chengwen!"

Luo Shiyin smiled and asked: "Dead or alive?"

"Alive, I can't let Lu Chengwen die before I deal with the other three families. If he dies, the Lu family's assets will shrink, with serious consequences."

"How do you want me to handle it, Young Master?"

"Use your charm and illusion techniques to make him fall for you, then get him to cooperate with me."

Luo Shiyin said: "No man in the world can resist my charm, Young Master, rest assured. Once I control his mind, everything will be yours."

"Good!"

Luo Shiyin sighed: "Alas! I can get any man in the world, but I have no effect on you, Young Master. But, I like you, Young Master."

Long Aotian laughed: "Shiyin, I am the son of destiny, endowed with the aura of a king. Your little tricks have no effect on me. But Lu Chengwen is definitely a lecher. Controlling him will be a great achievement. However, you will eventually be mine, don't worry. Once I break through to the upper four gates, I will give you, Xuening, and others a proper status."

"Your subordinate looks forward to that day."

"Alright."

...

Lu Chengwen opened the door, and Xu Xuejiao stood at the entrance: "The hotel manager said you booked a room here. I thought you were with a girl, but it's a bunch of men? Why is the floor so messy?"

Lu Chengwen said to Iron Lump King and the others: "You stay here for tonight, we'll discuss the rest tomorrow."

Then he pulled Xu Xuejiao out and sighed, rubbing his face.

"What's wrong with you?"

Lu Chengwen said: "I almost died."

"So serious?"

"Yeah. How did you find me here?"

"I missed you, so I came to find you."

Lu Chengwen shook his head: "No, besides Zhao Gang, Jiang Shihan, and a few drivers and assistants, no one knows I'm here."

Xu Xuejiao laughed.

Lu Chengwen understood and gritted his teeth: "Zhao Gang! Are you trying to die? How dare you leak my whereabouts?"

"Don't scold him, I forced him."

Zhao Gang was very aggrieved: "Mr. Lu, you didn't come back all night, and Ms. Xu kept asking about your whereabouts. She said she is your fiancée and will be the future madam of the Lu family. I didn't listen to her, but she kept badmouthing me to you. I... I didn't dare offend her."

Xu Xuejiao said: "Zhao Gang, you're dismissed. Lu Chengwen, come with me!"

"What for?"

"To talk!"

"About what...?"

In Xu Xuejiao's car, she crossed her legs and smiled at Lu Chengwen.

"What do you want?"

"To be your girlfriend!"

Lu Chengwen looked at her for a few seconds: "Are you serious? Are you crazy? We haven't been in touch for years, and we've only been hanging out for a few days. Why suddenly want to be a couple?"

"We destroyed several hundred million worth of substandard drugs together, invested in a slum renovation project, worked together to thwart Long Aotian's plans, and even got beaten by that Iron something... We also drank until the early morning and had breakfast with uncles and aunts together..."

Lu Chengwen interrupted: "I didn't have breakfast! You and the others were eating, and I was kneeling on the side watching you act! My dad beat me with three brooms!"

"Ha ha ha, yes, yes, yes, why are you so petty! You still remember such a small matter!"

Lu Chengwen opened his eyes wide: "Is this a small matter? This is a matter of principle! If you lie and cheat now, what will you do in the future? You'll end up a fraud!"

"My family is rich, why would I need to be a fraud? Being a doctor is more profitable than being a fraud, don't you know?"

"I warn you, Xu Xuejiao, don't push me too far! Your little tricks won't work forever. My parents are wise and intelligent, and they will soon see through you. Once they understand, you won't be able to act anymore."

"So, I advise you to stop now before it gets too ugly!"

Lu Chengwen leaned back in his seat: "Don't say I didn't warn you. We Lu family members hate liars the most! And we are the best at spotting liars! Do you know why? Because we are smart! My parents are the smartest of the smart!"

While Lu Chengwen was laying it all out, Xu Xuejiao's phone rang.

Xu Xuejiao answered: "Auntie, I'm so happy to hear from you! Yes, yes, yes, I'm glad you like it. I thought about it a lot and wanted to give you and Uncle something, but you two don't need anything, it was a headache for me. I'm so glad you like it!"

"Yes, yes, yes, Lu Chengwen... he... don't be angry, please. Actually, Lu Chengwen is... quite good to me... No, no, no, he hasn't scolded or hit me. He... rarely hits me these days."

Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao: "You... what are you doing?"

Lu Chengwen grabbed Xu Xuejiao and gritted his teeth: "Speak properly! I'll kill you!"

But then he saw the phone screen, and Xu Xuejiao had turned on the speaker.

Lu Chengwen's mother's scream came through: "Lu Chengwen! You really are a dog that can't change its ways! Xu Xuejiao is so filial to us and good to you, how can you bear to bully her? You want to kill her? Come back here, I want to see how you kill her. You might as well kill me first!"

Lu Chengwen cried as he answered the phone: "Mom, it's not like that, you've all been fooled by her. She's a liar, and I have nothing with her..."

"Nothing, and you get her drunk in the middle of the night? Nothing, and you've been with her for over a year? Nothing, and you insist on examining her? Nothing, and you wear her underwear around your neck? How could I have given birth to such a beast of a son! Come back! Right now, immediately! If you don't come home in twenty minutes, I'll go to your company and beat you!"

The call ended.

Lu Chengwen was stunned.

Xu Xuejiao curled up in her seat, smiling.

"Brother Chengwen, my mother-in-law is so nice to me. You shouldn't bully me anymore, or my father-in-law and mother-in-law will beat you!"

Lu Chengwen was on the verge of tears: "I can't go on like this!"
