Return to 88: Starting from Marrying My Sister-in-law

Xiao Jun was still boasting.

They even started to physically grab the arm of Liu Guangnan, who was clearly the leader.

"This must be Engineer Liu, right?"

"I have long admired my name."

"Come with me, don't be shy. My cars are outside too, all Mercedes-Benz S-Class with the 'Tiger Head' logo, brand new. This proves the strength of our Little Prodigy. You will feel right at home working for us. It will be a source of pride for your friends to talk about it later."

As he spoke, the guy gave a smug thumbs-up.

Just as he was about to forcibly pull Liu Guangnan, who looked troubled, to sit in his Mercedes-Benz.

Suddenly a large hand reached out.

Grab him by the back of his collar and lift him up.

"who!?"

"What are you doing... what are you doing..."

Xiao Jun panicked.

He's 1.79 meters tall and a former soldier. How strong must the person behind him be to grab him by the collar and lift him up like that?

Lu Yang's voice came from behind him.

"What did you say you were doing?"

"Trying to steal my business? You've got a death wish, haven't you?"

"Pfft."

Xiao Jun couldn't help but laugh.

They stopped struggling.

He let Lu Yang lift him aside like a wooden stake, and then waited for Lu Yang to release his grip on his collar.

I rubbed my neck.

She turned her head, looking aggrieved, and said, "Brother, I was just joking with you. You're really going too far!"

At the same time, he was secretly amazed by Lu Yang's innate superhuman strength.

He didn't believe it before.

They thought this was a smokescreen deliberately put out by the kid to confuse the bad guys who dared to target him.

Damn, now I have no choice but to believe it.

Lu Yang chuckled and said to him, "Are you joking? Oh, then I'm joking too."

Xiao Jun wore a bitter expression and didn't dare to meet Lu Yang's gaze.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly: "That damn old Mou, what kind of stupid idea did he come up with? He promised to advance and retreat with me, but when it comes down to it, he doesn't even dare to fart."

Although they were thousands of miles away in Pengcheng, they received the news of Lu Yang's big commotion in the capital.

They were especially eager to recruit the team led by Liu Guangnan, the former chief engineer of Lianxiang, and their mouths watered.

This is one of the top research teams in China, which invented the Chinese character card. A small Chinese character card not only saved Lianxiang from bankruptcy, but also broke the perception that computers were exclusive to Western languages, allowing computers to truly understand Chinese for the first time.

The thought that such an awesome talent like Klass had been poached by Lu Yang made them both feel like they were being scratched by a cat.

Yeah, just thinking about it makes me uncomfortable. I'm so jealous, my face turns bright red.

So the two of them put their heads together and came up with a plan to intercept Lu Yang. They planned to steal Liu Guangnan's team before they even got off the plane and officially join Lu Yang's Century Group.

We're good brothers.

right?
When something good happens, you have to share it with everyone, right?
If we divide the people into five groups, it won't hurt anyone's feelings; otherwise...

"Otherwise, what do you want?"

Lu Yang looked at the two with a half-smile, especially emphasizing Xiao Jun, saying, "Getting cocky, aren't you? Your skills have grown, haven't they? And a whole bunch of Mercedes S-Class W14s. I approved you to buy these cars so that you, Xiao Jun, could establish yourself in the domestic private enterprise sector, especially in the tech circle, not so you could use them to show off in front of me and steal my employees. Get your car fleet and get out of here."

Since becoming the CEO of this prodigy company, Xiao Jun has become incredibly manly, speaking loudly and in a high-pitched voice to everyone. However, he can't muster any masculinity in front of Lu Yang.

As soon as Lu Yang told him to get lost, the man didn't utter a sound. He glared at Mu Qizhong, who was smirking beside him, and then, like a woman with bound feet, tiptoed away with his men.

Lu Yang covered his forehead and shook his head.

He turned to reassure Liu Guangnan and the others, "This guy is my good buddy, the president of Little Prodigy Electronics, a subsidiary of the group. He was just joking with you, don't take it seriously."

"Secretary Xu, why don't you hurry up and lead the way for Engineer Liu and our colleagues to get in the car?"

Xu Siqi made a face at Lu Yang.

He quickly jogged forward to lead the way for Liu Guangnan and the others.

Lu Yang then arranged for a car to take his family back to the villa. All these things were done.

Only he and Mu Qizhong remained at the scene.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

We got into a Bentley Turbo R flagship parked on the roadside, arm in arm. It's a top-of-the-line traditional large luxury sedan, the Bentley version of the Rolls-Royce Silver Spirit. There are only a few hundred in existence worldwide, and even fewer in China. There are no verifiable records... sorry, not a single one.

Of course, this couldn't possibly be Lu Yang's car; Lu Yang isn't that flashy.

This is Mu Qizhong's newly purchased car.

After Lu Yang got into the car, he touched the comfortable leather seat under his bottom and looked at Mu with a half-smile, saying, "Brother, you've struck it rich again recently, haven't you? This car must have been expensive, right?"

Mu Qizhong enjoyed his flattery and waved his hand dismissively, saying, "Hey, it's not cheap at all, it's less than 400 million, and it includes residency and taxes. It's not like you, Brother Lu, can't afford it. Even if you add another zero, for you, Boss Lu, it's about the same as buying a bowl of cold noodles on the street."

This may sound like boasting, but there is definitely an element of boasting involved. 4000 million is not like a bowl of cold noodles on the street. Even Lu Yang cannot treat it like a shard of porcelain and just throw it away. Well, he would have to throw it away a few more times and eat a few more bowls of cold noodles.

Seeing that Mu Qizhong didn't care and hadn't yet grasped his intentions.

Lu Yang chuckled again and said, "This car is nice, but driving it around will probably make people envious, right? Aren't you worried that someone might maliciously report you as a heartless capitalist?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mu Qizhong's laughter disappeared.

Turning his head to stare into Lu Yang's eyes, he saw that Lu Yang had stopped talking and was only giving him a half-smile. He gave a bitter laugh and said with dissatisfaction, "You rascal, you say such unlucky things as soon as you get back. It's unpleasant. Can't you say something nice?"

Lu Yang chuckled and said, "I'm not saying this to bring bad luck, but to remind you, brother, of the tragic example of the little prodigy's family. It's all so close at hand, the blood is still fresh in our minds, isn't it? Shouldn't we keep a low profile when we should? What do you say, brother?"

The Tong family's downfall was both sudden and inevitable.

Even without everyone pushing them and kicking them while they're down, the Tong family's erratic and unrestrained behavior meant they were bound to get into trouble sooner or later. The only difference was the timing and the severity of their fall.

Regarding the downfall of the Tong family, Lu Yang deliberately went out to avoid the limelight, so he did not gain any benefits.

But what about others?
Lu Yangcai didn't believe that no one would be eyeing the Tong family's businesses.

It's possible that the car we're sitting on has the blood of the Tong family on it.

It was someone who took advantage of the Tong family's downfall to make a huge profit, and then couldn't wait to reward himself handsomely.

Seeing Lu Yang remind him to keep a low profile and look at him with that kind of gaze, Mu Qizhong felt a little guilty, but he was afraid that Lu Yang would find out that he was guilty, so he stubbornly said, "The Tong family has done all sorts of bad things, and they deserve to end up like this. I, Mu, have done nothing wrong and have kept every penny clean. Who can do anything to me?"

Lu Yang wanted to laugh when he heard this.

It's like a horse that doesn't know its own face, or Pigsy who complains about a dirty mirror. They've forgotten whether they're black or white. Humph, they don't even know their own worth.

A person should have self-awareness; if one lacks even that, trouble will inevitably come knocking sooner or later.

It's obvious that Mu Qizhong lacks self-awareness.

Lu Yang now has a clear understanding of why this guy couldn't even survive the year 2000, went to prison three times, and eventually became despondent.

That's it.

I'm too lazy to try to persuade them anymore.

After fulfilling his responsibility as a friend, Lu Yang began to jokingly tease Lao Mou about how much he had profited from the downfall of the Tong family, even mentioning a luxurious imported Bentley worth 400 million yuan so casually.

Mu Qizhong didn't hide anything from him, saying that he had already taken over all the hotels and guesthouses owned by the Tong family in Pengcheng, of course, through proper procedures.

This is similar to the message Lu Yang received.

"What else?"

"As far as I know, several nightclubs owned by the Tong family have been shut down..."

Lu Yang said with a half-smile.

Running a nightclub is extremely profitable, but Lu Yang never gets involved in it and hopes that his friends will also avoid it.

When Lao Mou and Xiao Jun wanted to open a high-end nightclub, they invited Lu Yang to join them as partners, but Lu Yang declined.

However, the nightclub was fairly legitimate, as it was clearly run for personal enjoyment. It provided a safe place for the guys to hang out at night, so Lu Yang wasn't too concerned.

However, the Tong family's nightclubs are different. They are located far from the city center, either near urban villages or near the docks, frequented by all sorts of people. No matter who takes over, they will inevitably get some filth on them, the kind that can't be washed off.

Mu Qizhong's eyes darted around nervously as he hurriedly explained, fearing Lu Yang might misunderstand him: "Don't talk nonsense like that. I didn't accept it. It was Xiao Jun and his cronies who did it..."

He swallowed hard and whispered, "These brats are incredibly audacious. I even advised them not to try to make money from just anyone, because of Xiao's sake, but they wouldn't listen. They even tried to give shares to Xiao and me, trying to drag us down with them, but I didn't agree to that."

"Ah."

Lu Yang's expression softened slightly.

"I trust your assurance, brother."

The implication was that they didn't trust Xiao Jun. It wasn't that they didn't trust Xiao Jun's character, but rather that the guy wasn't quite right in the head and might even be counting money for the scammers while being cheated.

To put it bluntly, he insists on being loyal when he shouldn't, just to make himself seem particularly capable. (End of Chapter)
