Lu Chengwen froze, and Huo Wendong froze too.
Huo Wendong waved a hand, dismissing the people who had chased in. He said nothing and simply looked at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen's expression changed instantly.
"Ran... How did he run away!?"
"That idiot Zhao Ritian failed to watch him and let him escape! Long Aotian went after him and told me to hurry over and let you know."
Hua Xuening was frantic. "Master, he escaped. Does that mean our money is going down the drain?"
"Don't talk nonsense!"
Lu Chengwen hurriedly stood up. "Wendong, let's talk later. Something happened at home. I need to go back and take a look."
"Hey, hey, hey!"
Huo Wendong grabbed Lu Chengwen. "What God of Wealth? What's wrong with you? You haven't even finished your tea! Aren't you going to look at my collection?"
Lu Chengwen looked deeply worried. "No, no, another day. I'm heading back. It's nothing serious—the losses aren't too great."
Hua Xuening looked like she was about to cry. "Master, he ran away. Can we still get the thirty billion?"
Huo Wendong's eyes widened. "Thirty billion? What thirty billion?"
Lu Chengwen snapped, "Shut up! Get out!"
Hua Xuening burst into tears, and Xiao Hua hurriedly comforted her.
Lu Chengwen hastily took his leave. "Xuening was talking nonsense. Wendong, carry on with your work. I'll go check on things. Let's get together another day!"
Lu Chengwen walked out, while Hua Xuening was still crying.

Lu Chengwen asked, "Did he escape on his own, or did Sky Net rescue him?"
"I don't know. I went out to buy buns, and he was gone. That Zhao Ritian has no sense of urgency at all! He's not worried in the slightest!"
