"Mr. Lu!"
The City Lord of Longdu also got out of the car, simultaneously cupping his fist towards Lu Fan, his eyes filled with respect. He knew very well that if he had arrived a step later today, Young Master Zhao's life would have been forfeit, and the Zhao family would have been annihilated.
"You unfilial son, how could you do such a thing!" the Zhao family head said sternly, "Apologize to Mr. Lu quickly!"
"Father, since when has the Zhao family feared anyone!"
Young Master Zhao said repeatedly, "This kid has offended me, and I'll make him pay today!"
"Don't speak nonsense!" the Zhao family head said coldly, "The City Lord is here, and if you are ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, the City Lord will punish you!"
"City Lord!" Young Master Zhao was startled and immediately paid his respects, not daring to delay.
Within the entire Longdu City, no matter how capable you were, you could not be disrespectful to the City Lord, or it would mean a dead end. Young Master Zhao was very clear about this.
"City Lord, Jiangjing Longting is my private residence. Now that Young Master Zhao has intruded, it's likely to cause inconvenience," Jiang Meili cupped her fist. "Why don't we let this matter rest here and ask Young Master Zhao not to go too far."
"I understand that, of course!" the Longdu City Lord nodded, then looked at Lu Fan, "What are Mr. Lu's thoughts!"
"Trespassing into a private residence in the middle of the night, the nature of this is already very bad!" Lu Fan shrugged. "The City Lord can handle it himself. If it's inconvenient for the City Lord, I can do it on your behalf!"
The Zhao family head stood to the side, his face becoming increasingly grim. He slapped Young Master Zhao across the face and kicked him flying, "You ignorant fool, why haven't you apologized to Mr. Lu yet!"
Young Master Zhao was incredulous. His father had never hit him like this. Now, for an unrelated person, he had struck him so hard, leaving him bewildered.
Jiang Meili stood to the side, also feeling a little curious. After all, Young Master Zhao was the sole direct descendant of the Zhao family, and the Zhao family head did not seem to need to act this way.
"Young Master Zhao, are you not going to admit your mistake?" the Longdu City Lord said coldly, "Do you really want to make things difficult for the Zhao family?"
Young Master Zhao's face was ashen. If the City Lord were not present, he would have probably made a move against Lu Fan long ago, without any hesitation.
"I think it's better to forget it!" Lu Fan waved his hand. "Even if you apologize, it might not be sincere. However, after you go back, you need to discipline him well, otherwise, I'll have to do it myself!"
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Mr. Lu!" the Zhao family head quickly cupped his fist, feeling grateful in his heart.
Young Master Zhao was displeased, and he didn't know what was wrong with his father today. The head of the dignified Zhao family had never been so subservient.
Old Bai beside him was also puzzled. This did not seem like the Zhao family head's usual personality. If there was no hidden reason, it would be hard to explain.
"It's getting late, we won't disturb you any longer!" the Longdu City Lord cupped his fist.
Lu Fan waved his hand, not paying too much attention. He turned and walked towards the courtyard. If it weren't for Lin Ke's contract with the Zhao Group, Lu Fan would not have let it go. He wouldn't mind adding another Xia family.
After leaving Jiangjing Longting, the Zhao family head glared at Young Master Zhao and gave him a kick and a slap, "This little brat is truly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, daring to offend anyone!"
"He's just a stinky brat, Father, you don't have to be like this!" Young Master Zhao said coldly, "If I want to crush him, it's as easy as crushing an ant!"
"Zhao family head, why do you need to put on a show in front of me!"
The Longdu City Lord smiled, "You are all commercial powers in Longdu City. I don't want you to suffer any harm, but you must not provoke Master Lu again, or it will be a dead end. Even I can't protect you. I'm sure you know how the Xia family of Longdu was destroyed!"
"I understand!" the Zhao family head quickly nodded, "Thank you, City Lord, for your care!"
"You don't need to thank me!" the Longdu City Lord waved his hand, "Just take care of your son!"
The Zhao family head quickly nodded and watched the Longdu City Lord leave, feeling immensely grateful in his heart. Without the Longdu City Lord, their Zhao family would have been ruined.
After the Longdu City Lord left, Young Master Zhao asked, "Father, what exactly happened? Why was even the City Lord dispatched?"
"It's all because of the trouble you caused!" the Zhao family head glared, "You're truly audacious. Do you know who that person was today!"
"Isn't he just a poor kid!"
Young Master Zhao shrugged, "Could it be that he has some special identity!"
"The Xia family of Longdu was destroyed, and many prominent families in Longdu were in a state of panic," the Zhao family head said coldly. "And the person who made the move was the one just now."
"The person just now!" Young Master Zhao was confused, "How is that possible? I didn't know!"
"Of course, you didn't know. If you had known, why would you have been so reckless!" Su Dan Novel Network
The Zhao family head's expression instantly turned cold, "With just a thought from him, our Zhao family would be completely devastated. Is that what you want to see!"
"Father, I absolutely didn't mean that!" the Zhao family head quickly said, "I'm sure Father understands!"
"What's the use of me understanding? If you had really done such a thing, do you know how severe the consequences would be!" the Zhao family head said coldly, "If I had been a moment late, today's incident would have been no small matter!"
Old Bai stood to the side, his eyes filled with self-reproach. As an elder strongman, he had failed to realize this, and he felt ashamed.
"Who knew he was Master Lu!" Young Master Zhao pouted, feeling a little resentful in his heart.
"Still dare to talk back!"
The Zhao family head said coldly, "Sooner or later, the Zhao family will be ruined by your hands!"
"Father, don't worry, I won't dare to do it again," Young Master Zhao quickly said, "Today's event can be considered a lesson!"
"It's good that you know the lesson!" the Zhao family head said coldly, "If there's a next time, I won't be lenient!"
Young Master Zhao nodded repeatedly, feeling a little helpless in his heart. As the young master of Longdu, he was forced into such a predicament, and he had unspeakable bitterness.
In the past, in Longdu, no matter who it was, they would retreat when they saw him. But now, things were greatly different. Some things were ultimately beyond their control.
There is always someone better than you, and this saying is always a famous quote, no matter when.
Inside Jiangjing Longting, Lu Fan sat on the sofa, while Jiang Meili kept looking at him, her heart filled with curiosity. The events of today seemed different from reality.
"Why are you always looking at me?" Lu Fan gave her a sideways glance. "If Xiao Ke knew about this, she would be jealous."
"Don't change the subject, who are you!" Jiang Meili said directly, "Why do I always feel like you're not simple, are you hiding something from me and Xiao Ke?"
"What could I possibly be hiding!" Lu Fan shrugged. "I think the one who is truly hiding something is you! You're just an ordinary woman, but today you have such skills, which is very unusual."
"I..."
Jiang Meili was slightly embarrassed, not knowing how to answer.
