Long Aotian looked at the displeased Iron Tuo Wang.
I taught you so much, and you still can't get it right. What the hell do you have to be angry about?
Long Aotian gritted his teeth. "You've got the wrong person!"
Lu Chengwen quickly said, "Mr. Tie, I don't like wasting words. If it's going to delay things, let's skip it. Can we sign the contract today or not? Give me a straight answer."
"Yes!" Iron Tuo Wang immediately said. "Yes, yes, yes! Signing and transferring the funds, all in one go. I'm efficient when I handle things."
Long Aotian was about to explode. "What do you mean, yes? Do you even understand what's going on?"
Iron Tuo Wang flew into a rage. "Get the hell out of my face! I've put up with you for a long time!"
Long Aotian's eyes widened. He could hardly believe it. Iron Tuo Wang, the mere head of a northern branch, actually dared speak to him like that!
"What did you say? Say that again."
Iron Tuo Wang was furious too, though he was clearly doing his best to suppress his anger.
Iron Tuo Wang grabbed Long Aotian by the collar and lowered his voice. "You little bastard, I came here today with a mission. If I didn't have to cooperate with our Young Master putting on airs and pretend to be civilized businessmen, I'd have dragged you outside and beaten you up for thirty minutes already!"
"You motherf—"
"I'm warning you, our Young Master is a heaven-sent genius and a peerless hero. Look at him!"
Iron Tuo Wang pinched Long Aotian's chin and turned his face toward Lu Chengwen.
"Our Young Master is suave and dashing, a master at stealing hearts, handsome as jade, and extraordinarily imposing. He's surrounded by beauties and enjoys the blessings of having them all. Now look at you!"
Iron Tuo Wang said indignantly, "You look like you were dug out by wolves and raised by dogs. Every inch of you reeks of a poor loser, yet you're the Vice President of Qianfeng Group? The big CEO over there is cuddling up in our Young Master's arms, acting cute and fawning over him. How many guts do you have, to keep going against our Young Master?"
"I—"
"If you know what's good for you, then obediently carry shoes for our Young Master and be his lackey. Maybe you'll still be of some use. Keep showing off in front of me, and I'll kick you to death!"
Long Aotian trembled all over with rage.
"Hey, you—"
Iron Tuo Wang shouted loudly, "GET THE HELL OUT!"
Long Aotian finally couldn't take it anymore and roared, "Open your fucking dog eyes and take a good look! Damn it, I'm your Young Master!"
Iron Tuo Wang froze and glanced at Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen was panicking like hell inside, but outwardly he looked completely unconcerned, reclining in his chair with his eyes closed.
Leng Qingqiu kneaded Lu Chengwen's thigh, giving him a massage, while Xu Xuejiao plucked a grape from the fruit platter and fed it into his mouth. Lu Chengwen could not even be bothered to open his eyes.
Iron Tuo Wang laughed. "Kid, if you want to impersonate an Important Figure, at least take a piss and look at your reflection. Look at the state of you. You're my Young Master?"
He pointed at Lu Chengwen. "See that? That's what a Young Master looks like! Holding one beauty on each side, putting on airs without even trying—that's the true nature of a Young Master! You? Go home and eat shit!"
Long Aotian clutched his chest. "You... I fucking... Can't you tell he doesn't know martial arts?"
"That's our Young Master's method! He's deliberately pretending to be weak. If he were willing to make a move, he could turn you into powder in minutes. Powder, understand?"
"The way he looks, he's obviously a spoiled rich brat, a useless second-generation rich who never learned a damn thing..."
"That's all just our Young Master's disguise! A useless dimwit like you obviously wouldn't understand! Putting on airs is an art—a profound field of study. The more capable a person is, the more they must act unconventional and unrestrained; the more they must appear cynical and fickle. Now look at you. You're panicking over this trivial matter like you've been holding in two tons of piss in your bladder. And you think you're worthy of impersonating our Young Master?"
"Hey, you—"
The two of them had begun openly revealing their identities, laying all their cards on the table.
Meanwhile, Leng Qingqiu had completely seen through Long Aotian's true nature.
Heh. Long Aotian really went to great lengths to swallow up the Leng Family. He lied to Dad, saying he could bring in a financial group to invest and would charge only one percent interest on five billion.
Anyone who has ever invested knows that with such a huge sum, one percent interest is practically taking a loss!
It would be the same as handing five billion to someone else so they could make a fortune while he only got to drink the soup.
Would there be such an idiot in the world?
Dad actually believed someone like him. He really was clutching at straws in desperation and had completely lost his bearings.
Brother Chengwen knows everything. If not for Brother Chengwen, I probably would never have known that Long Aotian was this sinister.
Xu Xuejiao was muttering to herself inwardly as well.
This man is so sinister! He's clearly someone from his own organization, yet he insists on pretending to be some big boss investing just because of his connections.
Right, that's the only way he could gain the Leng Family's trust. On the surface, it's an investment in a business, but in reality, he's coveting the Leng Family's hundreds of billions in assets.
He would invest five billion, seize management control of the Leng Family's Qianfeng Group, and then there would be plenty he could manipulate. He could slowly erode it bit by bit, or even swallow the entire Leng Family business whole.
This guy is sinister and has powerful backing. Brother Chengwen's caution is justified. We have to be extremely careful.
Lu Chengwen did not want to drag things out any longer. He needed to wrap this up quickly.
"Mr. Tie, are you done yet? How long are you going to chat with him? Did I bring you here to talk to an idiot?"
Iron Tuo Wang hurriedly said, "Sorry, CEO Lu. We'll sign the contract immediately."
Lu Chengwen stood up. "Tomorrow morning, go to Great Sage Group yourself and sign the contract with my general manager. Stop fucking wasting my time."
Lu Chengwen got up and prepared to leave.
Iron Tuo Wang hurriedly said, "All right, all right, sorry for taking up your time. Take it easy, CEO Lu. Take it easy..."

Long Aotian thought, Good thing they didn't have a contract ready. Otherwise... those five billion would've gone down the drain.
Long Aotian pointed at him. "You've got guts. You're impressive!"
Iron Tuo Wang looked at Long Aotian. "You, surnamed Long, are on my list now. I guarantee you won't live past the end of this month. Just wait and see."
The moment Lu Chengwen got into the car, he urged the driver, "Quick, quick, quick! Drive, drive, drive!"
The car sped away.
Lu Chengwen let out a sigh of relief and kept looking back to see whether they were chasing after them.
Xu Xuejiao smiled. "Brother Chengwen, did you enjoy yourself just now? Two gorgeous women serving you—you must've been in heaven, huh?"
Lu Chengwen looked at her. "Do you even have a heart? Couldn't you tell how dangerous that was? That Long Aotian is a dangerous man, and Iron Tuo Wang and those four big guys are all cold-blooded killers. Enjoy myself? Enjoy my ass!"
Leng Qingqiu said gravely, "Lu Chengwen, even if it was an act, weren't you and Xu Xuejiao taking things too far? Did you really have to go that far? Tell me honestly—were you secretly enjoying it?"
Lu Chengwen stared at Leng Qingqiu in shock. "That's what you're concerned about!?"
At that moment, Xu Xuejiao's petite body crawled into the front row and plugged something resembling a USB drive into the USB port.
As she crawled over the center console, still wearing her JK uniform and short school skirt, her round, firm little butt—and even her white panties—were plainly visible...
Lu Chengwen stared fixedly at the view beneath Xu Xuejiao's skirt, utterly entranced. He mechanically muttered, "I was handling serious business. How could I have had the mind for that? It was all just acting for the occasion. I didn't take any of it to heart..."
Leng Qingqiu grabbed Lu Chengwen by the chin and turned his face toward her. "What are you looking at?!"
"Huh?!" Lu Chengwen snapped back to his senses. "Nothing. I wasn't peeking at Xu Xuejiao's white panties."
Xu Xuejiao had already crawled back and told the driver, "Turn on the multimedia audio."
Then she glared at Lu Chengwen with a flushed face. Lu Chengwen was mortified and hurriedly explained, "I didn't see anything... I only saw a tiny bit. I didn't mean to... it was just the angle at the time..."
"Enough. Listen."
At that moment, Long Aotian and Hua Xuening's conversation came through the multimedia speakers.
"That idiot!" Long Aotian's furious voice rang out. "He can't even tell who his master is, and he dared to curse at me!"
Hua Xuening calmly said, "This subordinate can get rid of him and vent Young Master's anger."
"What fucking use would getting rid of him be? I need the money in his hands! I need those five billion in funds!"
Hua Xuening said, "This subordinate will go take it back for Young Master!"
Long Aotian was deeply frustrated. "If I were going to take it by force, would I need to go through all this trouble? I need him to cooperate willingly, so I can show off in front of Leng Tianhao! Only then can I replace Leng Qingqiu as president of Qianfeng Group and go on to swallow all of the Leng Family's assets!"
Hua Xuening said, "It is only a Leng Family. Why go to such great lengths? We only need to use a few methods, and we can..."
Long Aotian was so angry he laughed. "Xuening, you're a swordsmanship genius. But things here aren't that simple. Not everything is like martial arts, where brute strength can crush all opposition."
"What I want is a complete, well-run Qianfeng Group. I want the entire Leng Family to submit to me wholeheartedly and willingly become my financial group. Then later, I can leave them alone while they diligently make money for me from the rear and serve as my financial backing. Taking it by force wouldn't be a problem, but afterward, would you run Qianfeng Group, or would I?"
"And Leng Qingqiu is mine! She has to be mine! A peerless beauty like her absolutely cannot fall into someone else's hands! As long as Leng Qingqiu becomes my woman and loves me wholeheartedly, controlling Leng Qingqiu alone will be the same as controlling all of Qianfeng Group."
Hua Xuening sighed. "This subordinate does not understand such matters. If there is anything this subordinate can do, Young Master need only give the order."
Long Aotian said gloomily, "I have a plan that can turn the tide!"
Screech—!
A burst of static suddenly came from the speakers, followed by a shrill whine.
Xu Xuejiao said in frustration, "They found it."
Lu Chengwen looked at Xu Xuejiao. "You can eavesdrop too?"
"Mhm." Xu Xuejiao said proudly, "I heard Zhao Gang trying to persuade you in the car to suppress the news about the counterfeit medicine."
Lu Chengwen suddenly understood. "Oh! So you knew I was definitely going to destroy it, and you deliberately said you supported me continuing to sell counterfeit medicine?"
Xu Xuejiao smiled.
He and Zhao Gang had never said anything in the car about destroying it, but she could only admit it, because otherwise she had no way to explain why she had been so certain that Lu Chengwen would never sell counterfeit medicine.
She couldn't exactly tell him, I can hear every one of your inner thoughts crystal clear, can I? That would scare him. He would run away.
"Yes, yes," Xu Xuejiao said. "So I knew that while you may look lecherous, act frivolously, be a little dim-witted, and be lustful by nature, when it comes to matters of right and wrong, you're actually quite decent."
Leng Qingqiu also smiled in relief. "I watched that press conference too. I think you did the right thing."
Isn't this just great? They heard that whole conversation. They probably won't fall in love with Long Aotian no matter what now. How am I supposed to wrap this up?
The key is that they both think I'm a good person. I'm not that good!
Lu Chengwen was extremely frustrated. "Anyway, this will be exposed soon enough. When that happens, even if Long Aotian doesn't come settle the score with me, Iron Tuo Wang won't spare me. You should all leave."
This chapter isn't over yet. Please click the next page to continue reading!
Leng Qingqiu said, "We can join forces and deal with Long Aotian, as well as that Iron Tuo Wang."
Xu Xuejiao glanced at Leng Qingqiu and, for the sake of the bigger picture, agreed. "That's right. Judging from the situation, his target isn't just the Leng Family. Our Xu Family, and even the Chen Family, are all within his sights. Once the Leng Family falls, he'll make a move against either the Xu Family or the Chen Family."
Lu Chengwen felt like crying, but no tears came.
No matter what his goals and order were, I was basically doomed either way. If you stuck around me, you'd only end up unlucky too, ladies.
Lu Chengwen sighed. "Anyway, it'd be better for me if you stayed away from me. Get out of the car and go do whatever you need to do."
Leng Qingqiu was about to speak, but Lu Chengwen said impatiently, "Get out of the car!"
"Then we—"
"What do you mean, 'we'?" Lu Chengwen shouted. "I'm me, and you're you! You jinx, haven't you caused me enough trouble already?"
Even though Leng Qingqiu knew Lu Chengwen was deliberately trying to drive her away, she still couldn't bear being cursed at like that.
She pushed open the door and got out. "Lu Chengwen, you just don't trust me!"
The car door shut, and Xu Xuejiao laughed. "You should've left ages ago. Did you think Brother Chengwen would keep simping for you forever? Stupid woman."
"You get out too."
"Huh?"
"I said, you get out too! Stop hanging around in front of me from now on!"
"What right do you have to yell at me?!"
"Because I feel like it!" Lu Chengwen widened his eyes. "Got a problem with that!?"
Tears welled up in Xu Xuejiao's eyes. "You're lying! You're deceiving me! You obviously like me!"
"The sight of you is annoying enough—I don't need anyone else! Go!"
Xu Xuejiao burst into tears and pushed open the door to get out.
Lu Chengwen sighed, hanging his head as he rubbed his temples.
Now I'm definitely doomed.
