“Who?” Lu Heshan was barely maintaining his composure at this moment, but in reality, his heart was already in a panic.
After all, the person they had offended was Qin Guohao. With a mere wave of his hand, let alone a mere Lu family, the entire Longhu Mountain could be flattened by him.
If there was truly someone who could save the Lu family right now, he would be willing to pay any enormous price.
In fact, the Lu family had already paid a heavy price. They had sent generous gifts to many people, but those people were helpless. Moreover, even for the person on the other end of the phone, Lu Heshan knew that this person owed the Lu family a favour, and this time, it was repaid.
If this favour had been utilised properly, the Lu family could have climbed several steps in the future, repaying this favour with a single word. The Lu family had truly suffered a massive loss this time.
“Who?” The person on the other end of the phone sneered mockingly.
“Your Lu family is truly foolish, and you deserve this misfortune!”
“That person is right there in your Lu family!”
“If anyone has the face to save your Lu family right now, it is only!”
“Luo!”
“Wu!”
“Ji!”
The person on the other end of the phone said word by word. In their eyes, the Lu family was laughably stupid. They had a great Buddha right beside them but did not worship him, instead running around begging for help everywhere.
“But is it him?”
“Believe it or not, that is all. I have repaid the favour your Lu family owed me. Do not call again in the future.” After saying this, the person on the other end hung up the phone directly.
After Lu Heshan stood there in a daze for a long while, he finally called Lu Chuan over.
“Is Mr Luo also with Shuixian and the others?” Lu Heshan asked.
“Father, at a time like this, do you still have the time to care about him?” Lu Chuan said dissatisfiedly. The Lu family had reached a critical moment of life and death, yet Lu Heshan was still asking about Luo Chen.
“Right now, only he can save our Lu family!” Lu Heshan said seriously.
“He save our Lu family?” Lu Chuan was stunned at first, then showed an expression of astonishment and confusion.
“Father, are you sure you are not joking?”
“Let alone the fact that Luo Wuji is now just a cripple, even if he were still at his peak, he would not have the capability to save our Lu family, would he?”
“After all, the person we offended is…”
“What do you know?” Lu Heshan scolded.
“Do not just stay in the Lu family all day. That Luo Wuji is a Heavenly General of the Heavenly Court, and he has a close relationship with the military big shot, General Su!” Lu Heshan said again.
“But Father, he is a cripple now. Will they still give him face?” Lu Chuan asked again.
If Luo Wuji were still the number one person in Huaxia right now, with these connections, he might actually be able to persuade Su Lingchu to plead for the Lu family.
But since Luo Wuji was now a cripple, who would still give him face?
In fact, Lu Heshan was also doubtful or rather disbelieving in his heart.
After all, what Lu Chuan said was the truth.
But right now, the Lu family had truly mobilised all kinds of connections and relationships. And the result?
That was to say, let alone pleading for mercy in front of Qin Guohao, no one even dared to do such a thing!
Now, they could only treat a dead horse as if it were alive.
“Call Mr Luo.” Lu Heshan waved his hand.
But Lu Chuan showed a troubled expression.
“What is wrong?” Seeing Lu Chuan’s expression, Lu Heshan became somewhat anxious and angry.
“I previously asked Shen Yuelan to call Luo Chen, and then told him to go cool off somewhere.” Lu Chuan said hesitantly.
“Sigh, you, the Lu family will sooner or later be ruined in your hands!” Lu Heshan scolded, pointing at Lu Chuan in anger.
“What are you standing there for? Tell Shuixian and Zihao to hurry up and apologise to him, and beg him to act!”
“You and I will go to apologise to Madam Shen, and then ask Madam Shen to arrange for Mr Luo to step forward!” Lu Heshan roared.
Although unwilling, Lu Chuan still dialled Lu Shuixian’s number.
At this moment, Lu Shuixian was truly terrified and completely lost her senses.
Because she had just spoken to Lu Chuan on the phone, and Lu Chuan had made it very clear that the Lu family did not dare to send anyone over, because whoever went would have to pay with their life today! Moreover, the entire Lu family was mobilising their connections to plead for mercy, to plead for mercy!
The severity of this matter had completely involved the life and death survival of the Lu family. Lu Shuixian’s heart was truly filled with regret at this moment. If she had not acted so domineeringly and had not indulged Lu Hao in bullying others with his power, how could she have provoked such a monstrous disaster?
Lu Shuixian slumped into her chair, her entire back already soaked in cold sweat.
The phone rang, and Lu Shuixian hurriedly answered it.
“Shuixian, is Luo Chen still with you?” Lu Chuan asked.
“He is in the private room upstairs!”
“Go find him and ask him for help!” Lu Chuan said. Lu Heshan had instructed very clearly that Lu Shuixian and Lu Zihao were to beg Luo Chen for help.
But in Lu Chuan’s mouth, it became just asking Luo Chen for help. Lu Shuixian also frowned.
“Ask him?”
“What help can a cripple possibly provide?”
“I do not know either. Your grandfather arranged this personally. You and Zihao go first.” Lu Chuan hung up the phone.
Lu Shuixian hesitated for a moment, then finally waved at Lu Zihao.
At this moment, Qin Guohao and his men had already sat down, seemingly catching up, and no longer paid any attention to the three siblings.
Lu Zihao looked at Lu Shuixian in confusion, just about to ask.
“Do not speak, go upstairs.” Lu Shuixian said in a deep voice. The two siblings went upstairs quickly.
Pushing open the door to the private room, Lu Shuixian was almost driven to anger. The Lu family had reached a moment of life and death, but what about Luo Chen? At this moment, he was actually sitting leisurely on the sofa, drinking tea and chatting cheerfully with Feilong.
Seeing this, Lu Zihao immediately became furious as well. Just as he was about to lose his temper, Lu Shuixian reached out and stopped him.
“Luo Chen, regarding that matter downstairs, can you please help?” Lu Shuixian said, deliberately lowering her stance.
“No.” Luo Chen said without even turning his head.
“Luo Wuji, do not forget that you are also a member of our Lu family. You need the protection of our Lu family. If our Lu family is gone, no one will be able to protect you either!” Lu Zihao mocked.
Before Luo Chen could speak, Feilong, who was standing nearby, could not hold back.
“Oh, what is this? Was your Lu family not arrogant?”
“Can you not handle a mere trivial matter?”
“Was there anyone your Lu family was afraid of back then?”
“Are you not very formidable, Lu Zihao?”
“Are you not a cultivator?”
“When you were just slapped in the face by a mundane person and beaten like a dog, how come we did not see you being so arrogant then?” Feilong mocked in a continuous string.
Lu Zihao’s face instantly turned red with anger!
“When you were bullying a high school student just now, how did you not think about the life and death survival of your Lu family?” Feilong sneered.
“Luo Chen, I admit that I was inconsiderate in this matter and should not have acted this way, but right now, please help us.” Lu Shuixian said, holding back her anger.
“I will not help!”
