Body Shifting Face Changing Technique

The car door was pulled open again. Lu Chengwen looked up at the fuming Xu Xuejiao. "What now?"

Xu Xuejiao shouted, "This is my car!"

Lu Chengwen wandered the streets of Xue City like a lost soul.

He hadn't called Zhao Gang to pick him up. He needed to calm down.

He hadn't smoked in a long time, but now that he was facing certain death, he didn't care anymore. He bought a pack of cigarettes and wandered aimlessly as he smoked.

A car suddenly pulled up beside him. Hua Xuening got out, and before Lu Chengwen could even say a word, she knocked him unconscious and dragged him into the car.

When Lu Chengwen woke up, he found himself tied to a chair.

A spotlight shone directly at him. Lu Chengwen couldn't open his eyes and could only barely make out the silhouette of a man.

"Lu Chengwen, you really are troublesome."

"Long Aotian?" Despair instantly welled up in Lu Chengwen's heart.

Would anything good happen to him after falling into this man's hands?

"I had no choice!" Lu Chengwen hurriedly explained. "The moment he saw Xu Xuejiao, he started harassing her. You weren't there, and I couldn't beat him. I couldn't just let him bully Xu Xuejiao, could I? Xu Xuejiao is one of the members of your planned harem, right? So I was protecting Xu Xuejiao for you!"

"Then why the hell did you impersonate me at the coffee shop and make him invest five billion in your project?"

"Big Brother! In that situation, did I dare tell the truth? I slapped him four times while protecting Xu Xuejiao. If he found out I'd tricked him, he definitely would've beaten me to death! Would you have spoken up for me?"

"Haha, absolutely not."

"So I had no choice!"

"Mm. Then don't blame me. I have no choice now either."

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry. I'm not taking your life."

Long Aotian said gloomily, "Who would've thought that, for a mere five billion, I'd have to use the Body Shifting Face Changing Technique?"

"Y-You... what are you talking about?"

Long Aotian moved the spotlight aside and patted Lu Chengwen's cheek.

"To get those five billion as quickly as possible, I don't have time to waste with you people. I'll borrow your face for now and have that idiot transfer the money first. After that..."

Long Aotian gritted his teeth. "Once I've swallowed up the three major families, it'll be your Lu Family's turn! Xuening, get ready."

"Hey, hey, hey! What are you doing? Stop! We can talk this out! I'll give you five billion, I'll give you—"

Hua Xuening walked over. "Shut up. We're not taking your life. We're only temporarily swapping your face with the Young Master's. It won't hurt or itch, but for the next twelve hours, your identity will no longer be your own."

"Damn it! You lunatics! How do you know all these bizarre techniques?! This isn't fair! This Villain is nothing but rich, while you people pull out an Expert one moment and a magic treasure the next. Do you really feel proud beating me like this? I look down on you! I look down on you!"

Long Aotian and Hua Xuening ignored Lu Chengwen completely.

"Young Master, with your current injuries, I'm afraid the Body Shifting Face Changing Technique won't last very long. And once you use it, your strength may decline again in the near future."

"It doesn't matter." Long Aotian had already made up his mind. "Strength isn't very useful right now. The world isn't about fighting and killing; it's about connections and social maneuvering. If I can't settle this matter, there'll be no way to unite the Four Great Families of Xue City. Besides, it'll only take a dozen hours at most. It'll be fine."

Meanwhile.

Iron Tuo Wang stood before the floor-to-ceiling window of a hotel room, his head lowered. "Yes, yes, yes, I was wrong. I... I'm sorry, Strategist. I never expected—"

The Strategist flew into a rage. "You never expected it? You couldn't even recognize your own master. Could you possibly screw up any worse?"

"But when I came here, there was neither a name nor a number, not even a contact password..."

"What kind of person is the Young Master? He can't let anyone know he has any connection with our Great Organization! Did you expect him to use some contact password like you people?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. The key is that Lu Chengwen is too rotten. He really is... suave and dashing, a thief of jade and fragrance, surrounded by Beauties, with an extremely high pretentiousness index!"

"I don't give a damn what's going through that pig brain of yours! You bear full responsibility for this mess!"

"Yes, yes, yes. I'll go find the Young Master right away and admit my mistake to him."

"If you can't handle this properly, bring your own head back to see me!"

Having said that, the Strategist furiously hung up the Phone call.

Iron Tuo Wang closed his eyes and tilted his head back.

"How humiliating."

"Iron King, could it be... that Long Aotian is the real Young Master?"

Iron Tuo Wang clenched the phone so hard that he crushed it.

He gritted his teeth. "Lu Chengwen! That bastard! He actually dared to make a fool out of me!"

Iron Tuo Wang turned around and grabbed his subordinate by the collar, gritting his teeth. "He even slapped me four times in public and called me an idiot! This is simply... going too far!"

The man said, "Iron King, calm down. We'll find him right away and kill him."

Iron Tuo Wang shoved him aside. "Of course we'll kill him."

He let out another breath. "But not now. I still can't kill him yet—I can't disrupt the Young Master's plans in Xue City. But even if I can't kill him, I can't just watch him live happily either. I've roamed the martial world for so many years, and I've never been humiliated like this! Looking back on my career as an assassin, I've never suffered such utter disgrace!"

"We'll set out right away, break both his legs, and make him take wheelchair strolls for the rest of his life!"

"No! I'm going myself! If I don't personally deal with that Lu bastard, I won't be able to rest even in death!"

After a long while, Lu Chengwen woke up.

He felt no discomfort, but being in such a dark, unknown place still made his skin crawl.

What should he do? He had to think of a way out. He couldn't just wait here to die.

Right! The Flash Card!

Lu Chengwen summoned the system and selected the Flash Card with his thoughts.

Flash me!

Lu Chengwen flashed directly downward. Flashing out would free him from the restraints, but he would still be in this room and could still end up trapped to death.

Judging by the situation, this was inside some building. Flashing downward should take him to another floor, giving him a chance to escape.

With a bang, Lu Chengwen dropped straight down and landed in a huge bathtub.

A woman in the bathtub immediately screamed and jumped up.

Lu Chengwen fell in, surfaced, and saw... Leng Qingqiu.

Leng Qingqiu grabbed a bath towel, covered her chest, and backed into the corner in terror. "Long Aotian! What are you trying to do?!"

Lu Chengwen hurriedly said, "It's me! I'm Lu Chengwen!"

"What nonsense are you talking about?! Get out right now, or I'll call someone!"

"Don't! Don't shout! I really am Lu Chengwen! It was Long Aotian—Long Aotian changed my face!"

Leng Qingqiu pressed her long legs tightly together. Her pair of impossibly gorgeous legs had just emerged from the water, dazzling enough to make one's eyes blur.

Water streamed continuously down her thighs, making the sight even more alluring.

"Qingqiu... you should probably cover down there first."

"Ah!" Leng Qingqiu screamed and hurriedly moved the towel to cover herself below.

Leng Qingqiu was both frightened and flustered. When she covered below, she neglected above; her ample chest could only be pressed down tightly with one forearm, squashing its curves out of shape.

Lu Chengwen hurriedly grabbed a towel beside him and handed it to her.

Leng Qingqiu reached out to take it, then suddenly realized she was exposed and quickly covered herself again. "You... get out!"

Lu Chengwen couldn't worry about that now. He walked over, draped the bath towel over her body, and covered her up.

"Qingqiu, listen to me. I'm Lu Chengwen! Three years ago, at a Mid-Autumn Festival party, I confessed to you. You splashed a glass of Red Wine in my face and told me to get lost. Your birthday is on the xth day of the xth month. Besides economics, you like music and art. If you didn't have to go into business, you would have become a painter. You're good at the piano and cello. You like Sichuan cuisine, but it's too spicy, so you don't dare eat much of it. The best friend who betrayed you was named Wan Xiaoling. And for the past three years, without fail, I've sent you lilies every day, because they're your favorite flowers... I really am Lu Chengwen."

Leng Qingqiu was stunned.

There was no way Long Aotian could know these things. Only the ultimate simp could rattle them all off without hesitation.

"You... really... are... Lu Chengwen?"

Leng Qingqiu decided to take a bold chance. "Fine. If you're Lu Chengwen, tell me Uncle Lu's phone number. There's a landline here. Call him right now and have him arrange our engagement as soon as possible."

Lu Chengwen had no idea what Leng Qingqiu was up to. His brows twisted into knots.

"What engagement? I already told you, we're not compatible! If I called him looking like this, wouldn't he beat me to death with a broom?"

"Silently think about something."

"What?"

"I don't care. In any case, immediately, right now, silently think about something."

"This..."

"Think, now! Or I'm calling the police!"

Lu Chengwen had no choice but to think:

Dead girl, I'm thinking! I'll rip off your towel, pin you to a massage bed, and spank you!

Leng Qingqiu heard that familiar inner voice. Only then did she finally dare to confirm that this person really was Lu Chengwen.

"It really is you?"

"So it really works!?"

"How did you... turn into Long Aotian?"

"It's a long story. That bastard knows some Body Shifting Face Changing Technique. He wanted to use my face to fool Iron Tuo Wang into transferring him money as soon as possible."

"There's actually a technique like that!? Who exactly are you people?!"

"I don't know anything! He's the only one who knows all those strange tricks and bizarre arts. Hurry up and get dressed. I'm not looking at you."

As he spoke, Lu Chengwen turned around.

Leng Qingqiu hurriedly put on a bathrobe, occasionally looking up at Lu Chengwen.

It wouldn't hurt to sneak a few glances, would it? Why am I being such a gentleman?

In this situation, even if I don't bring it up myself, she'd probably accept.

Damn it, why am I indulging in wishful thinking at a time like this?! I should be figuring out how to stay alive first!

Leng Qingqiu laughed, confirming Lu Chengwen's identity.

Just then, someone knocked on the door outside.

Han Yue said, "President Leng, CEO Lu is here. He says he wants to discuss the investment project with you."

"Got it."

"President Leng, are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

"Are you really all right?"

Leng Qingqiu rolled her eyes. "I'm really fine!"

"But I just heard your voice..."

Lu Chengwen snapped, "She said she's fine!"

Han Yue froze. Why was there a man's voice inside!?

Leng Qingqiu gave Lu Chengwen a smack, then walked over and opened the door a crack. "Han Yue."

"President Leng, you..."

"Oh, I'm fine."

Seeing that Leng Qingqiu really was unharmed, Han Yue relaxed.

The boss... was human too. Keeping a beauty in a golden house or something... was understandable.

Leng Qingqiu saw through her subordinate's thoughts and said with a smile, "It's Lu Chengwen."

"Oh!" Han Yue let out a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She would have been worried if it were anyone else, but if it was Lu Chengwen, there was absolutely nothing to worry about.

For one thing, their engagement was no longer a secret.

For another, anyone in the world might harm President Leng, except Lu Chengwen. He would rather lose his own head than let his President Leng suffer the slightest grievance.

Leng Qingqiu also felt that the situation was rather improper. Blushing, she said, "I have no idea how he got into my room either. Go stall the people outside. I'll be out in a moment."

Han Yue said with a smile, "I understand. It's fine, I'll head out first. No rush—you two... can continue."

Before Leng Qingqiu could explain, Han Yue had already left.

Leng Qingqiu turned around and shot Lu Chengwen a glare.

The more Han Yue thought about it, the more amusing it seemed. This pair of bitter enemies had been at each other's throats for a full three years. They had caused such a mess that everyone knew about it; the two of them, even their two families, had lost plenty of face over their affairs.

But... after all that turmoil, it seemed they had finally ended up together.

Han Yue breathed a sigh of relief and walked out to the conference room, only to freeze on the spot in confusion.

Right!

There was another Lu Chengwen outside!

Then who was inside!?

Was President Leng cheating on someone in there!?
