NOVEL NEXT Chapter 132: Shooting Arrows with Both Hands
"It's Mr. Lu."
"Mr. Lu actually came so early tonight, but those two can't make a fuss now, can they? Mr. Lu is here representing the He Family, who here wouldn't give Mr. Lu some face?"
The onlookers quietly discussed, and both Wang Ye and Su Wanqing were somewhat surprised the moment they saw Mr. Lu.
I hadn't expected Mr. Lu to be here.
Even if Wang Ye and Su Wanqing did not know in advance the reason for Mr. Lu's visit, they also knew that he must be representing the He Family from Yun City.
The man saw Mr. Lu coming and knew what he represented; a trace of dread suddenly sprang up in his heart at the sight of Mr. Lu.
After all, Mr. Lu represented the He Family of Yun City.
And the He Family was one of the four great families in Yun City.
If I provoke Mr. Lu's displeasure, then I'm finished.
"Mr. Lu."
The man bowed his head and spoke respectfully, "Mr. Lu, these two are newcomers who just arrived here. I was explaining the rules to them, but it seems like they're not quite satisfied with the rules here. They not only wouldn't listen but also said that the rules here are all bullshit."
While extricating himself from the situation, the man also doused Wang Ye and Su Wanqing with cold water.
Mr. Lu looked at Wang Ye and Su Wanqing, feeling a sense of familiarity when he saw them.
An impression of déjà vu.
"Have I seen you two before?" Mr. Lu inquired.
Upon hearing Mr. Lu's words, the man's heart skipped a beat.
If Mr. Lu recognized Wang Ye and Su Wanqing, then what I just said wouldn't have extricated me but would have been akin to lifting a rock only to drop it on my own foot.
"Mr. Lu."
Wang Ye looked at Mr. Lu and took off the face mask he was wearing, "Long time no see. I didn't expect Mr. Lu to have such a profound memory of me. Even with the masks on, you recognized both Wanqing and me."
Wang Ye said this,
While taking off his face mask.
When Mr. Lu heard the familiar voice of Wang Ye, he was shocked, and once Wang Ye removed his mask, Mr. Lu's expression completely changed.
He knew the two people in front of him were very familiar.
But he had never imagined that the two people before him were the very people he and He Lei wanted to deal with no matter what, Wang Ye.
The man, as well as the onlookers around, all had their expressions change when they saw Wang Ye remove his mask.
Before Wang Ye took off the mask, they could never imagine that the two people who entered were Wang Ye and Su Wanqing.
"Wang Ye and Su Wanqing, it's actually them. I can't believe they've come to Xi County as well."
"Wang Ye seems to be a descendant of the Wang family. I heard that Wang Ye has been looking for the true cause of the Wang family's disappearance. Now that Wang Ye has also come to Xi County, things are going to get interesting."
"I wonder how Mr. Lu will deal with this given that Wang Ye and the He Family don't get along."
The onlookers, although not saying it aloud, watched the scene with a sense of schadenfreude, especially those who had little or negative relations with the He Family.
How will Mr. Lu respond next?
Everyone present knew that Wang Ye and the He Family didn't get along.
Moreover, people knew that the He Family had repeatedly attempted to deal with Wang Ye using various means but had failed every time.
Wang Ye had that kind of capability.
But Mr. Lu alone would certainly be no match for Wang Ye.
However, if Mr. Lu were to back down, he'd be representing the He Family.
Once Mr. Lu conceded, when he returned to the He Family, he would surely be severely reprimanded.
While Mr. Lu's facial expression had already changed upon seeing Wang Ye, his heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Even without hearing the words spoken by the people around him, without seeing the expressions in their eyes, Mr. Lu knew what kind of thoughts they were harboring at that moment.
Mr. Lu pondered his counterstrategy.
After a moment of contemplation.
Smack!
Mr. Lu turned around, and with a slap, forcefully struck the man.
Taken completely by surprise, the man's body was sent flying by Mr. Lu's slap.
Mr. Lu truly hated this man.
Therefore, when he struck, he held nothing back.
Mr. Lu knew, had it not been for this man, he wouldn't have had to deal with this affair and now to find out about Wang Ye's identity and be made a laughing stock by so many people.
After sending the man flying with a slap, Mr. Lu berated him, "Damn it, Wang Ye, do you know who he is? He's a big shot in Yun City, Director Xia's little junior brother!"
"Even you, Wang Ye, don't dare to provoke him, yet you presume to lecture him on the rules, have you ever considered if you're worthy?"
The man, struck to the ground by Mr. Lu's slap, knew Mr. Lu was using him as a shield as well as venting his anger.
But he dared not say anything in response.
All he could do was keep nodding and bowing, saying, "Yes, yes, yes, I know my mistake. Big shots like Wang Ye are not someone a lowly person like me can afford to offend, I know my mistake, I will slap myself now."
As the man spoke these words.
Smack!
A slap landed heavily on his own face.
Smack!
Another slap, harshly delivered to his own face.
Smack!
Smack!
Alternating left and right!
One slap after another, the man hit his own face without any hesitation, as if the person being struck was not himself at all.
Only then did Mr. Lu turn to Wang Ye and politely said, "Master Wang, do you find this outcome to your satisfaction?"
Wang Ye glanced at the man whose face was nearly swollen from his own slaps, and although he knew Mr. Lu was using the man as a scapegoat, he said nothing.
With such a display by Mr. Lu, it was already proven that upon seeing him, Mr. Lu had shown submission.
That was sufficient.
Wang Ye gave a slight nod, "Fine, let's leave it at that. Now, where should I sit?"
"Please take a seat at the front, I will find a place for you, come, Master Wang."
As he spoke, Mr. Lu led Wang Ye toward the front.
The seats at the front were generally reserved for representatives of powerful forces and prominent families.
After bringing Wang Ye to the front, just as Mr. Lu was about to find him a seat, Wang Ye directly took a seat in the most central position.
When Mr. Lu saw Wang Ye sit down like that, his facial expression underwent a violent change.
The onlookers who were enjoying the spectacle, upon seeing Wang Ye take the center seat, had the smiles from enjoying the commotion turn into fear.
Every face was tinged with unease.
Wang Ye had actually taken that seat.
It must be understood that that seat was prepared for families from the provincial government.
