Chapter 84

Looking at Xu Xuejiao, who was still pretending to be injured: "Stop crying, I'm going to see that person. Are you coming?"

Xuejiao instantly stopped crying: "Well... it depends on your performance."

Lu Chengwen said irritably: "If you want to come, follow me."

With that, he strode off.

The people around them were still scolding: "What kind of person is this! Who does he think he is? Simply despicable!"

"Exactly! This condescending attitude, what a jerk!"

Xuejiao quickly parted the crowd, took off her white coat, and handed it to them: "Take care of the young miss of the Leng family."

Then she ran off to catch up with Lu Chengwen.

Lu Chengwen walked to the entrance, and a petite figure suddenly bounced out, holding onto his arm and laughing uncontrollably.

Lu Chengwen glanced at her; Xuejiao had already changed into her own clothes, a stylish short skirt and white thigh-high stockings.

Lu Chengwen said: "Do you find it very satisfying to always trick me?"

"Who made you dump me!"

"I never even dated you, how could I dump you?"

"So, if you want to dump me, you have to date me first!"

Lu Chengwen was at a loss with Xuejiao's logic.

"Hey, why are you suddenly taking me along? Have you finally realized how great this goddess is?"

Lu Chengwen smiled: "Because the person I'm going to see is very tricky. Having a sexy little doctor here is safer."

"Oh? Do you think I'm sexy?"

"Sexy." Lu Chengwen said emotionlessly: "I wish I could take you right here on the street."

"Ha ha ha! You know your stuff!"

The car arrived at the Junli Grand Hotel. Lu Chengwen casually threw the car keys to the valet and walked in with Xuejiao.

In the lobby, the manager was already waiting: "Welcome, Mr. Lu, to the Junli Grand Hotel. One of your friends said..."

"I know, just contact my assistant for the payment."

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

The manager thought to himself, the young masters of powerful families are really something!

This guy has a top-notch beauty warming his bed, yet he still brings another beauty along. Is he planning a threesome... or something?

Rich people really play their games.

"Mr. Lu, we have themed rooms here. Although they are not as large as the presidential suite, they have more equipment and are more entertaining. You can fully display your talents there..."

Lu Chengwen looked at him: "I'm here to talk business."

"Oh? Oh! Sorry, sorry, I misunderstood. This way, please."

"I can go up by myself, you stay back."

"Yes, sir."

As Lu Chengwen walked away, the manager spat: "What a jerk! Just because he has money! Humph!"

Entering the elevator, there were already three people inside.

Lu Chengwen and Xuejiao walked in, and Xuejiao immediately linked her arm with his.

Lu Chengwen didn't bother to struggle; whatever, more fleas, less fear; a dead pig isn't afraid of boiling water.

However, the three people in the elevator made Lu Chengwen feel very uncomfortable.

The leader was tall, wearing cheap suits and inferior shoes, pretending to be professional, but in the eyes of the rich, it was obvious that his entire outfit wasn't worth much.

The other two were even worse, as if they had never worn suits before. Wearing suits on them was a waste of material.

Although their appearance was lacking, these three people gave off a strong sense of oppression.

One of them asked the tall man in the middle: "Copper King, when we meet Iron King and his group, are we really going to kill them all?"

Copper King had a stern face: "Nonsense! Those who betray the organization cannot live. They must die. If they don't die, we will."

"Ah, I really don't want to kill our own."

Copper King gave him a cold look: "Remember, this is the world of the underworld."

Lu Chengwen immediately became nervous.

[Damn! So soon!]

[Just dealt with Iron King, and Copper King is already here!? This guy is even stronger than Iron King. If they find out I'm Lu Chengwen, I won't even be able to get out of the elevator!]

[I need to think of a way.]

Xuejiao heard Lu Chengwen's thoughts and was also startled.

She observed the three people in the reflection of the elevator and lightly pinched Lu Chengwen's arm.

Lu Chengwen glanced at her, knowing that this girl also understood the gravity of the situation. He gently patted her hand, signaling her not to be nervous.

The man continued: "It's said that the young master is exceptionally talented and blessed. How could Iron King think...?"

"Cough, cough!" Copper King coughed: "Don't talk nonsense."

Then he gestured, indicating that there were others in the elevator, and they should talk quietly.

Ding!

The elevator door opened, and Xuejiao pulled Lu Chengwen's arm: "Brother Aotian, this way!"

Lu Chengwen was taken aback but quickly reacted: "Okay."

Lu Chengwen inwardly praised:

[Good girl! Quick thinking! And smart!]

[These people seem to have just arrived in Snow City and haven't met Long Aotian yet. Pretending to be in the same building should keep us safe for now.]

[Xuejiao is amazing! I could kiss you for six hours straight!]

Xuejiao was delighted to hear Lu Chengwen's praise.

"That damn Iron King, betraying Brother Aotian, he has no idea what he's doing. Brother Aotian, what do you plan to do with them?"

Lu Chengwen strode forward: "Definitely skin them and pull out their tendons. This northern country will surely be shaken by me, Long Aotian! The military advisor is a failure; the people he sent are unreliable and can't even recognize their master."

Xuejiao asked: "Should we send people to eliminate the branch?"

Lu Chengwen shook his head: "Not necessary. Iron King is a one-of-a-kind fool. The others in the branch are still useful. I need their strength. If anyone follows me and achieves great things, I will reward them with wealth and status."

"Brother Aotian is too kind. It's just a branch, how could there be any great talent? You always want to give opportunities to the lower ranks, but there are plenty of people who want to work for you. You insist on being low-key and recruiting from a branch."

Lu Chengwen, already a martial artist, could hear clearly even though only they were in the hallway. He knew the three rats had been startled and were now hiding and eavesdropping.

Lu Chengwen turned and looked at Xuejiao seriously: "Xuejiao, remember, to achieve great things, one must be good at using people and spreading kindness. Don't look down on small people. Today's small people, if well-cultivated, can become great heroes and loyal supporters. I was once a small person too. Now, those who once looked down on me are all bowing to me."

"Yes, I understand!"

Xuejiao said: "But Lu Chengwen is too cunning. He often pretends to be the young master, deceiving people. He is bold and cowardly, perverted, and disrespectful to old ladies. He likes group activities and even goes after old sows. He also..."

"Enough!"

Lu Chengwen thought:

[Are you taking this opportunity to get back at me? Can't you stop complaining?]

"Lu Chengwen is very good at acting. If not, Iron King wouldn't have been fooled into challenging me."

Xuejiao nodded: "Iron King originally wanted to do good, but he was deceived by Lu Chengwen. However, this is a critical time for the young master. You shouldn't take risks personally. It's better to use strategy."

Lu Chengwen looked at his palm: "Unfortunately, the battle outside the city has weakened me. Otherwise, I wouldn't need these lackeys to do my bidding. Lu Chengwen has some skills, huff, to pretend to be me so convincingly."

"Still, Iron King is too stupid! He couldn't even recognize his master. Such a person should be killed outright."

Lu Chengwen looked at Xuejiao: "Kill them? I don't want to dirty my hands! The military advisor will send people to handle it. If they can't even clean up their own mess, the branch has no reason to exist."

Lu Chengwen and Xuejiao walked away.

Copper King only exhaled when they were far away.

He patted his chest and shook his head: "Dangerous! We were just in the same elevator as the young master!"

The fat subordinate wiped his sweat: "The young master's presence is so overwhelming, just his voice makes you feel the pressure!"

The thin subordinate pressed his chest: "Did you hear? The young master values knowing people and spreading kindness."

Copper King nodded: "Iron King, that fool, was deceived by Lu Chengwen and offended the young master. The first thing we need to do is to clean up the branch! This is the first step to gain the young master's recognition!"

The fat subordinate said: "But Copper King, I think this is our chance!"

"Exactly!" Copper King was excited, rubbing his hands: "You heard it yourself, right? The young master not only wants to use us but also wants to cultivate us. Being a Red Guard in a large organization means a life of servitude. You earn little money, are controlled like a third-rate citizen, and face constant danger. If you die, no one will even bury you. If you want to leave, you have to leave your life behind. Are you still satisfied with this life?"

The two replied with sorrow and anger: "We've had enough long ago!"

Copper King said: "This is our chance to change our fate! The young master's word can grant us wealth and status. A little bit of his favor can elevate us to great heroes! Then, as the young master's loyal supporters, we will live a life of luxury, drive luxury cars, date celebrities, and play with models... Red Guard?"

Copper King said with gritted teeth: "Only fools are content to be Red Guards for life!"

The two knelt down: "Thank you, Copper King, for giving us this chance to change our fate! We will forever follow Copper King and serve the young master and Copper King loyally!"

"Good." Copper King said with satisfaction: "Get up, we're brothers! If it weren't for your loyalty, I wouldn't have brought you on such a good mission."

The two said together: "Thank you, Copper King, and your ancestors!"

Copper King grabbed them by the neck and pulled them close, their heads together:

"Brothers! No more talk! We've had enough of being Red Guards! The opportunity is right in front of us. Remember the young master's appearance, his voice, and the beauty by his side! If we make the same mistake as Iron King and can't even recognize the young master..."

The two clenched their teeth and said in unison: "Then we'll be super idiotic screw-ups!"

"Smart! Let's go to work!"
