“If Luo Wuji were still the number one person in Huaxia, we would not even dare come to compete for this Imperial Hall.”
“And we probably would not even dare come to this Kaiyue International!” Li Tianyou sneered with cold mockery.
“But now, hehe!”
“Old Yu, by saying this, where do you place Immortal Qingmang?” Lan Feihu also pretended to rebuke from the side.
“My fault, my fault.” Yu Xinghe defended himself hypocritically.
“Yu Xinghe, do not forget who saved you back then?” Lan Beier was instantly enraged at the sight of Yu Xinghe’s behaviour.
“But how did you repay that kindness?”
“Smearing Luo Chen online, jumping out to bite the hand that fed you?”
“Do you still have any conscience?”
“Do you still have any sense of shame?” Lan Beier accused.
“And Lu Jianguo, do not hide at the back. I see you.”
“Your Lu family repeatedly begged Luo Chen to join Baiyue Company back then. How fawning you were. Now you have not only withdrawn your shares, but are also spreading rumours among the shareholders!”
“Hmph, joining Baiyue, we signed an unequal treaty. Why should we?”
“Just because he is the number one person in Huaxia?” Lu Jianguo stopped hiding and stepped out directly, sneering.
“Now that we have withdrawn our shares, we have directly lost several hundred billion RMB.”
“Why should we?” Lan Beier sneered coldly.
“Just because the three words Luo Wuji sheltered over a hundred lives of your Lu family!”
“Do you really think Luo Chen does not know the true reason your Lu family joined Baiyue?”
“If Luo Chen had not agreed to let your Lu family join Baiyue, your Lu family would have been wiped out long ago, would it not?” Lan Beier accused once more.
Back then, the Lu family had offended a lineage of cultivators from Qinghai. They had intended to annihilate the entire Lu family. It was precisely because Luo Chen had agreed to let the Lu family join Baiyue, which was under Luo Chen’s name, that the cultivators from Qinghai, deterred by Luo Chen’s might, had spared the Lu family.
Luo Chen definitely knew about this matter, and had never paid it any mind.
“And remember this clearly. Back then, it was your Lu family who begged to join Baiyue. Now it is your Lu family who has breached the contract first!” Lan Beier remembered these matters equally clearly.
“Hmph, words are useless. Luo Wuji is nearly finished now. Should I drag the entire Lu family down with him?” Lu Jianguo quibbled.
“Yes, the wise man submits to circumstances!” Yu Xinghe also spoke up from the side.
“Two words for you both: ingratitude!” Lan Beier snorted coldly.
“So what if we are ungrateful?”
“Do you think the three words Luo Wuji will still exist in this world after today?” The head of the Hong family said with a flushed face.
Although Lan Beier had not directly named him, he was actually in a similar situation to Lu Jianguo.
The heads of several great families had all come. Even outside the door, there were numerous big shots and powerful people!
Over a hundred people in total. All who should come had come!
At least half of them were people Luo Chen had met before.
Because these people had once gone to the Luo family in Longdu with various gifts to fawn and flatter!
“As the saying goes, when a wall is about to collapse, everyone pushes it. Look at the people behind you?”
“Even if we are ungrateful, so what?”
“What is called the tide has turned? This is called the tide has turned!” Yu Xinghe sneered.
“Everyone truly has great courage!” Luo Chen looked at the hundred or so people outside the door.
“Anyone else?”
“Yes!” Tang Jing parted the crowd and slowly walked out.
“I warned you long ago to leave, but you simply would not listen. What a pity!” Tang Jing sighed.
“Anyone else?”
“Those who are still here can all step forward now!” Luo Chen remained very calm.
“Hmph, there is no need for us to step forward at all. Do you not find it strange?”
“How could we be so bold today as to come find you, Luo Wuji, and openly challenge you here?” Li Tianyou sneered.
“I do not find it strange. Your brains are all damaged. This is very normal.” Luo Chen did not even glance at Li Tianyou.
“Hmph, sharp tongue!”
“You had better go online and see what is happening!”
“Luo Wuji, you have fallen for the trap!” Yu Xinghe and Li Tianyou almost simultaneously jeered.
“Did you really think Immortal Qingmang still needs a few more days to emerge from seclusion?”
“You probably could not even dream that Immortal Qingmang has already trapped you here, could you?”
Sure enough, Lan Beier took out her phone, tapped it open, and her expression instantly changed.
The internet was already in an uproar at this moment.
“Qingmang emerged from seclusion early, using a ruse to trap Luo Wuji inside the Kaiyue International Hotel.”
“The streets near the Kaiyue International Hotel have already been cleared.”
“Latest development: their people have already gone in first.”
“Luo Wuji has nowhere to escape. This battle ultimately cannot be avoided.”
“Immortal Qingmang firmly sits as the number one person in Huaxia, forcing Luo Wuji to fight!”
And at the entrance of Kaiyue International, someone was actually live-streaming in real time.
“Dear viewers, we cannot get in now, but we can see that several extremely important figures have already gone in.”
“Luo Wuji has been avoiding battle and refusing to emerge, but today he definitely cannot escape.”
“Let us look forward to this battle together!”
The nation was boiling over.
The internet was also in an uproar.
In front of the television.
Su Lingchu suddenly jumped up.
“What are they doing?”
“At this critical juncture, why are they provoking Luo Chen so blatantly?” Su Lingchu could not help but swear.
Previously, the fuss was merely a matter between Luo Chen and Qingmang.
But now, so many wealthy families have actually been dragged into it. This is absolutely going to cause a major incident!
And it just so happened to be when the Wolf King’s captain of the guard arrived here.
Su Lingchu immediately called Li Yuanhua at the Security Bureau.
After all, this was Longdu. For special situations like this, security matters were the responsibility of the Security Bureau.
“Li Yuanhua, what exactly do you mean?”
“Just letting the situation develop like this?” Su Lingchu was of course referring to the matter of so many wealthy families trapping Luo Chen inside Kaiyue International.
The Security Bureau had not taken any action at all. For such a major incident, with the streets already cleared, they had not even gone to stop it.
“Hehe, Su Lingchu, now you know to panic?”
“Unfortunately, it is too late.” Li Yuanhua sneered.
He wished for nothing more than for Luo Chen to have an accident. How could he go to stop it?
“Back then, if you had spoken to me nicely, I might have…”
“Li Yuanhua!”
“Do you clearly understand what you are doing?”
“Do you clearly understand that if you do not control the situation, the consequences that appear in the end are something you cannot bear!” Su Lingchu directly interrupted Li Yuanhua’s words, roaring into the phone.
“Hmph, consequences?”
“The consequence is that Luo Wuji falls today, that is all. What else?”
“Alright, Li Yuanhua, I am putting my words here. I have already called to remind you. Do not call me begging for help later!”
“Whatever happens, you bear it yourself!” Su Lingchu was so angry his liver hurt. Was Luo Chen someone easy to provoke?
With live streaming, heated online discussion, and so many wealthy families bringing people to corner him?
That was Luo Wuji! Longdu was definitely going to have a major incident today!
“Would I call you begging for help?”
“Su Lingchu, get this straight. It is Luo Wuji who is nearly finished now!”
“Beep beep beep!” Su Lingchu directly hung up the phone.
Luo Wuji nearly finished?
Were this group of people not awake?
Inside the Imperial Hall of the Kaiyue International Hotel.
Luo Chen looked at these people, then lit a cigarette, and stood up very casually.
“I have always been very curious. On what basis do you all believe that Qingmang can definitely kill me?”
