Chapter 175: To Kowtow or Not?
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Ruisheng's face changed rapidly, looking like he wanted to back out and just leave!
But he didn't dare!
Not to mention the thirty or so fierce security guards standing behind Lu Yu, even if he could leave, Yunting would come with people tomorrow to smash his house if he dared to leave today!
Thinking of this, Zhou Ruisheng looked at Lu Yu and swallowed hard before speaking: "Young Master Lu, we were in the wrong here. How about this, I'll offer five million as compensation for my mistake. Can't we let the matter of kneeling slide?"
Zhou Ruisheng spoke cautiously, full of respect in his speech. In his view, he was someone of status in LA City, and to kneel before someone twenty years younger than him in such a public place felt more humiliating than being slapped in the face!
Hearing Zhou Ruisheng's words, Lu Yu coldly shook his head, remarking, "Zhou Ruisheng, do you think I'm lacking money? Or that I care about your five million?"
"Although the Lu Family has fallen, I truly don't think much of your five million!"
At this moment, Lu Yu looked at Zhou Ruisheng and said, "Take back your five million now and honor your words immediately. If you kneel and apologize, I won't make things difficult for you!"
As soon as Lu Yu said this, the respectful look on Zhou Ruisheng's face froze completely. He had never imagined Lu Yu would reject his five million!
Nor did he expect that Lu Yu would insist on making him kneel and confess!
"Young Master Lu!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Ruisheng raised his voice, his teeth gritting as he looked at Lu Yu, "You should always leave some room for maneuver. Don't push everything to the edge!"
"I'm the one pushing it to the edge?"
Lu Yu chuckled lightly at Zhou Ruisheng's words, then quickly wiped the smile off his face and said, "Zhou Ruisheng, are you even qualified to say that!?"
"The reason you're yielding today is because I'm in a strong position!"
Looking at Zhou Ruisheng, Lu Yu continued, "But if there weren't these thirty security guards, or Yunting supporting me, would you have left any room for maneuver for me?"
"I'm guessing you'd beat me to death, wouldn't you?"
Looking at Zhou Ruisheng, Lu Yu spoke coldly, "In this world, power is everything, be it on a deserted island or in a concrete jungle!"
On a deserted island, the strong tremble with beasts; in the city, enemies fear the strong!
Survival of the fittest is an eternal truth!
If I wasn't powerful, Zhou Ruisheng would definitely not let me off today, Lu Yu had realized this long ago!
Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Ruisheng was speechless because he knew Lu Yu was right!
If Lu Yu weren't powerful, Zhou Ruisheng would surely not have let him off!
Seeing Zhou Ruisheng speechless, Lu Yu smiled coldly and said, "Zhou Ruisheng, I'll say it again – kneel and apologize now, and it's not too late!"
Hearing this, a sinister look appeared on Zhou Ruisheng's face as he looked at Lu Yu and said, "Kid, don't push me too far!"
"Stop the nonsense!"
Hearing Zhou Ruisheng's words, Lu Yu said, "A man's word is golden, and it was you who agreed to kneel and apologize. If you don't want to follow through, I'll help you!"
With that, Lu Yu suddenly slapped Zhou Ruisheng's shoulder hard from above!
Bam!
With a muffled sound, Zhou Ruisheng suddenly felt a tremendous force surging down his shoulder!
The force was unfathomably strong, and his frail body couldn't withstand it. He felt the mighty force transmitting into his body through his shoulder, rendering his legs weak and causing him to fall to the ground with a thud!
Watching the scene unfold, the entire Sheng Group lobby became eerily silent!
Everyone present exchanged looks of disbelief, as they never imagined that the previously arrogant Zhou Ruisheng would end up falling to his knees!
"What did you do to me?!"
Zhou Ruisheng, humiliated, shouted, his face flushed with shame and anger, extraordinarily agitated!
Kneeling on the ground, his legs felt numb and uncontrollable, making it impossible for him to stand up!
"Nothing much,"
Lu Yu smiled gently at Zhou Ruisheng's words and said, "Since you wouldn't kneel, I helped you!"
"Now I've helped you kneel,"
Lu Yu's eyes full of cold laughter, he asked, "So will you bow or not?!"
"There's no way I'll bow!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Zhou Ruisheng said decisively, full of determination!
"Such backbone!"
Hearing Zhou Ruisheng's words, Lu Yu sneered, giving a thumbs-up, "Since you won't apologize with a bow, then you can keep kneeling. I'm sure kneeling for a day will have the same effect as apologizing!"
Upon hearing this, Zhou Ruisheng's face turned pale. He never imagined Lu Yu would go to such lengths!
Not to mention kneeling for a day, even kneeling for an hour would attract reporters from television stations!
By then, the humiliation would be more than just a laughing matter!
Seeing the whiteness on Zhou Ruisheng's face, Lu Yu sneered and said, "Wu Song, watch him. If anyone tries to help him up before the end of the day, throw them out!"
"No problem!"
Hearing Lu Yu's words, Wu Song quickly responded, "Don't worry, boss, I'll complete this task and not let anyone help him up!"
"Good,"
Hearing Wu Song's words, Lu Yu nodded and then slowly turned to head towards the security department, exuding an air of calmness as if Zhou Ruisheng were trivial!
"Wait!"
Just as Lu Yu took a couple of steps, Zhou Ruisheng instantly called out loudly, his face full of humiliation.
