Chapter 96

It's normal for a man to be attracted to a beautiful woman.

It's also normal to have a bit of unrealistic fantasy in one's mind.

However, if these thoughts are heard by a girl, that's not normal.

Zhang Shen'er had just started to develop a slight good impression of Lu Chengwen, but it instantly vanished.

Her expression turned cold: "Mr. Lu, do you have to go through a series of disgusting thoughts every time you see a beautiful woman?"

Lu Chengwen was taken aback:

【Wow! Can this girl read minds?】

He laughed and said: "No, no, I'm not that kind of person. I'm the kind who is noble, great, refined, and moral..."

"Alright, let's talk about the case. Leng Tianhao doesn't admit to being kidnapped. What do you think about that?"

Lu Chengwen smiled: "He's probably afraid of stock price fluctuations. I can understand that."

Zhang Shen'er said: "Mr. Lu, you just acquired twelve percent of Qianfeng Group's shares today. That's impressive."

Lu Chengwen continued to smile: "It's a small deal."

Zhang Shen'er looked at Leng Qingqiu: "I'm a bit confused. Leng Qingqiu has always hated you, but now she hangs out with you every day. Leng Qingqiu was just dismissed as the president of Qianfeng Group, and Leng Tianhao was kidnapped. Now, both you and Leng Qingqiu hold a large number of Qianfeng shares and are celebrating together. I have a script in my head, but I don't know if it's true."

"It's definitely not true," Leng Qingqiu said. "Actually, I just made up my mind and hope that Chengwen will take over Qianfeng. He doesn't need to kidnap my father. If he did, he wouldn't have called the police, and he certainly wouldn't have released my father without getting his shares."

Zhang Shen'er thought about it and agreed: "We will continue to investigate. As for you, Lu Chengwen, you'd better follow the law, or I won't let you off."

Zhang Shen'er left, fuming.

Lu Chengwen is really nothing but rich.

To even have such fantasies about me, it's disgusting!

...

Lu Chengwen was a bit troubled, his mind even more chaotic.

Many character relationships were already messed up.

The main female characters had changed direction and were now getting along well with him.

This would undoubtedly trigger Long Aotian's fierce retaliation. As long as this issue wasn't resolved, Long Aotian would keep targeting him.

But it's no longer just about competing for women with the main male character; it's about who will have the final say in the future of Xuecheng.

If Long Aotian teams up with Huo Wengdong and takes over the four major families, regardless of what happens to his own family, he would most likely not touch the shantytown project, and it might even become another abandoned project.

He needed to act quickly.

He needed to make the project a fait accompli. Even if Long Aotian kills him in the future, he can't blow up the buildings, right?

Tietuo Wang was very capable.

If this guy hadn't been tricked into being crippled by him, he would probably already be a top enforcer under Long Aotian.

He did a great job protecting Leng Qingqiu and was very dedicated.

Tongtuo Wang must stay by his side and not be allowed to contact the outside world, so Jiang Shihan could control them.

They must be provided with food and drink, and the city's nightlife must thoroughly immerse them. It must be done this way.

...

Long Aotian lay in bed, and Luo Shiyin was feeding him medicine.

High-quality, efficient medicinal pills are very rare. Luo Shiyin didn't expect that the pills for saving lives would be used so soon after coming to Xuecheng.

Long Aotian recovered a lot after taking the pills.

At this moment, Hua Xueying returned, her face pale.

Luo Shiyin looked at Hua Xueying: "Are you injured?"

"It's nothing," Hua Xueying said, looking at Long Aotian with deep concern and guilt.

"Who injured the Young Master so badly?"

Luo Shiyin shook her head: "A mysterious person."

"A mysterious person?"

"Yes, extremely cruel. The Young Master's major acupoints were injured by sword qi, and the opponent kept twisting the blade to increase the pain, making recovery more difficult."

Hua Xueying was stunned: "What? Let me see!"

Luo Shiyin stopped her: "You're injured too. Go treat your injuries first. I'll take care of the Young Master."

Hua Xueying gritted her teeth: "Thank you."

"Sure. Is Lu Chengwen hard to deal with?" Luo Shiyin suddenly asked.

Hua Xueying looked up at Luo Shiyin, gritting her teeth: "I will kill him, sooner or later!"

Luo Shiyin shook her head: "This person is a bit strange, different from the opponents we've faced before. He always does things beyond our expectations. Anything involving him always develops in ways we didn't anticipate..."

"He's just lucky."

Luo Shiyin frowned: "Lucky once or twice, maybe, but always lucky? That can't just be luck."

Hua Xueying said: "Anyway, I will kill him."

Luo Shiyin shook her head: "Wait a bit. Let's wait for the Young Master to wake up and plan the next move."

Luo Shiyin sighed: "It seems I'll have to deal with Lu Chengwen myself."

Hua Xueying said: "Are you going to use that move?"

Luo Shiyin smiled: "No need. The big move is for important people. The higher the level of my technique, the more stringent the conditions to trigger it, and the greater the backlash on my body. Of course, the effect is also better."

"Lu Chengwen..." Luo Shiyin thought for a moment: "I might need to put in more effort to deal with him."

Hua Xueying said: "I'll go treat my injuries. I'll protect the Young Master here for a few days. You go deal with Lu Chengwen, and signal when it's done."

"Alright."

A little while later, Long Aotian woke up.

"Young Master," Luo Shiyin said, tears in her eyes, touching Long Aotian's face with a pained expression.

"Who did this to you?"

Long Aotian weakly said: "Xueying... has she come back?"

"She's back. She cried when she saw you. I comforted her and sent her away."

Long Aotian said weakly: "She cried? She dared to come back?"

Luo Shiyin said: "Young Master, Lu Chengwen is too strange. This failed assassination can't be entirely blamed on her."

Long Aotian shook his head: "I'm not blaming her, I'm..."

Long Aotian thought it was hard to say.

How do I say it?

I can't say that the people who beat me up were in several groups.

The first group was my business partner, Bang Dao Mang, who fought me to the point of internal injuries!

The second group was the Xuecheng branch, who were supposed to help me, but instead, they beat me up and broke both my legs before leaving.

The third group was my own guards, who also beat me up!

And the worst was her! I don't know what she was thinking, but she was like a madwoman, gritting her teeth and forcing me to speak with her long sword.

If I could speak, I would have said it already!

Lu Chengwen didn't show up at all.

He lost face. If he told these two women, they would laugh at him in the future.

As the Young Master, I was almost killed by Lu Chengwen, which is too tragic!

I wouldn't admit it, and neither would they!

Long Aotian struggled to prop himself up: "You go out, I need to make a call."

Long Aotian called his strategist.

"Young Master," the strategist's voice was steady and powerful: "Tongtuo Wang has already met you, right?"

"He has."

"Great!" the strategist laughed: "Tongtuo Wang, although not the strongest, is very reliable! He will definitely help you deal with your enemies, and might even beat them up and break their legs before leaving! Ha!"

Long Aotian felt his heart was about to burst, holding his chest: "Can you contact him?"

"Of course!"

Long Aotian nodded: "Give me his number."

"Didn't you already meet him?" the strategist seemed to misunderstand, quickly saying: "Young Master, we're just a branch here. We can send you some people, but the money... we really don't have any. The fifty billion we had was almost all our savings, and the next fifty billion was scraped together. You must use it wisely. When you make money, we hope you can return some to help us ease the pressure..."

Long Aotian couldn't listen anymore: "Your damn Tongtuo Wang is now hanging out with Lu Chengwen! You idiot!"

"What? No way?"

"Contact him yourself!" Long Aotian gritted his teeth: "Make this bastard and his men report to me immediately! Damn it, are your people all brainless? Is it that hard to tell me apart from Lu Chengwen?"

The strategist was sweating.

What's going on!?

To make such a stupid mistake twice!?

It can't be!

"Young Master, is there a misunderstanding here?"

"Of course there's a misunderstanding! Otherwise, he wouldn't be helping Lu Chengwen beat me up!"

"I understand, please wait, I'll contact him immediately!"

"Money! Make him bring the money to me!"

"Yes, you can count on me!"

...

At this moment.

Tongtuo Wang was sitting in a high-end KTV room, hugging two beauties and singing: "Dead! Must love! Not thorough, not happy! Universe destroyed... heart! Still! There!"

The fat and thin men put down the beauties in their arms and clapped: "Great! Big brother's singing is amazing!"

The thin man said: "Big brother's voice is the best in the world!"

The fat man said: "Sometimes deep, sometimes narrow, a skill that ordinary people can't achieve! Great voice!"

Tongtuo Wang was satisfied, putting down the microphone: "Brothers, let's drink!"

The three of them had never been so happy.

In the big organization, they lived in darkness!

They would hide and practice their skills when there was nothing to do, and go out to fight and kill when there was something to do...

The city's prosperity was so distant to them, and the nightlife was like a god's life!

Tongtuo Wang raised his glass: "The first drink! To the Young Master!"

The fat and thin men raised their glasses: "Yes! To the Young Master!"

Tongtuo Wang took a deep breath, wiping away the tears from the corners of his eyes: "Brothers, in the big organization, you know what it was like!"

The fat man bit his lip, holding back tears.

The thin man lowered his head, sighing.

"But! It's all in the past!" Tongtuo Wang waved his hand: "See? In the city, the rich are the masters! How much does this wine cost? This fruit platter costs thousands! These girls, each one costs five hundred to appear! But, we have money!"

"Right! We have money!"

The thin man took out a wad of money and stuffed it into the girls' bras, gritting his teeth: "I have money now!"

The fat man lit a hundred-dollar bill and used it to light a cigarette: "Having money is great! Damn it, in the organization, spending a hundred dollars required a long explanation to the finance department! Now, with the Young Master, money is nothing!"

The three of them raised their glasses, Tongtuo Wang said: "The Young Master has been very kind to us!"

The fat man said: "I'm willing to risk my life for the Young Master!"

The thin man said: "Whoever threatens the Young Master is against my new life!"

The three of them together: "Cheers!"

The thin man drank and said: "Big brother, the strategist probably knows about this now. Will he praise us?"

Tongtuo Wang laughed, hugging a beauty: "Do we need his praise? Are you an idiot? The strategist is nothing now! We are the Young Master's people!"

"Right!" the fat man said: "We don't have to look at the strategist's face anymore! In the past, we lived like dogs in front of the strategist. That life is gone forever! We are the Young Master's dogs!"

The four beauties looked at each other.

They thought these three guys must have just robbed a bank.

...

A few minutes later, the strategist called back the Young Master's number.

"Young Master, I can't contact Tongtuo Wang."

"What do you mean? The money?"

"Uh... I just checked the account, the transfer has been completed."

Long Aotian's mind instantly exploded.

"I didn't receive a single cent, damn it!"
