Chapter 445

He looked up, startled. Before him stood a tall and imposing figure. It was an extremely handsome young man, dressed in a simple black suit paired with a white shirt. He wasn’t wearing a tie, and the top two buttons of his shirt were undone, revealing a hint of his firm collarbone.

He stood casually in front of Zhou Yuming, exuding a powerful and mysterious aura. This aura made the two middle-aged men, who had been speaking to Zhou Yuming, instinctively fall silent and retreat slightly in surprise.

Although Zhou Yuming was reluctant to admit it, he had to acknowledge that this man in front of him was by far the most perfect male figure he had ever seen in his life.

Whether it was his physique, appearance, or the imposing air he carried … He brought a suffocating sense of overwhelming pressure to Zhou Yuming.

“Who are you?” Zhou Yuming instinctively tightened his grip on the two beauties by his side, looking nervously at Lu Sheng.

Lu Sheng’s gaze lightly swept over the silver-haired young man in front of him, before finally landing on the flashy silver supercar behind him. He walked over, slowly running his hand across the hood of the car.

“Is this your car?” Lu Sheng asked casually.

“So what if it is?” Zhou Yuming was a bit puzzled.

“It’s really cool, really nice.” Lu Sheng looked at the car with a slightly envious gaze and asked, “How much did it cost?”

Zhou Yuming blinked, finally understanding what was happening. It seemed the man was attracted by his new car.

Zhou Yuming couldn’t help but laugh, speaking with confidence, “Of course, it cost over 80 million. There’s only one of these in the entire Dragon Kingdom.”

“Over 80 million …” Lu Sheng clicked his tongue, seemingly a bit surprised.

He turned his head and, with a calm expression, looked at Zhou Yuming and said, “I’m jealous.”

“Ah???” Zhou Yuming was momentarily confused.

In the next second, Lu Sheng lightly placed his hand on the hood of the car.

Screech—

The hood of the supercar quickly caved in, emitting a sound that made everyone’s teeth ache.

The impact soon spread to the entire car. Within just a few seconds, the front half of the car was pressed firmly to the ground, with most of the front part crushed into a flat disc.

Boom!

A small spark exploded from the car, causing a crackling sound as flames began to burn.

The firelight reflected off Zhou Yuming’s face, now frozen in shock. Everyone around was stunned. He Ling Su, who had just walked over and was about to approach, also froze in her tracks, her steps halted in place.

Lu Sheng patted his hands, glanced at Zhou Yuming, and relaxedly said, “Much better now.”

The two beauties beside Zhou Yuming stared wide-eyed at Lu Sheng, their expressions as if they had just seen a ghost.

Zhou Yuming’s body trembled slightly, his face twitching uncontrollably. His expression changed several times before he finally took a deep breath, stared at Lu Sheng, and asked in a low voice, “Brother, what do you mean by this?”

“Who’s your brother?”

Lu Sheng walked up to Zhou Yuming with a smile, the cold aura radiating from his body causing Zhou Yuming’s face to turn pale as he retreated in panic.

“My name is Lu Sheng, a friend of He Ling Su from the Chen family. If you’re upset, feel free to come find me anytime …” As Lu Sheng spoke, he pointed to He Ling Su, who was standing nearby in a daze.

“See, that’s He Ling Su.”

He Ling Su: “???”

“Chen family’s He Ling Su, huh …” Zhou Yuming glared deeply at He Ling Su, gritting his teeth.

“Lu Sheng, is it? I’ll remember that.”

He Ling Su: ???, Why are you remembering me? What does this have to do with me?

She was just about to go over and explain when Lu Sheng, who had returned, casually wrapped his arm around her shoulders and forcibly dragged her toward the manor.

“Let’s go.”

There were still quite a few people at the entrance of the manor, either welcoming guests or getting out of cars.

Zhou Yuming’s flashy arrival had already attracted a lot of attention. Now, the news that his car had been destroyed in front of everyone caused even more of a stir. The news that the second young master of the Zhou family, Zhou Yuming, had his car smashed spread quickly.

Many people also noted the names “Lu Sheng” and “He Ling Su,” secretly inquiring about who they were.

Who would dare provoke the second young master of the Zhou family like that, almost stepping on Zhou Yuming’s head … It was truly … impressive beyond words!

…

“What exactly are you trying to do?” He Ling Su, dragged into the manor by Lu Sheng, still felt completely dazed, wondering if she was dreaming.

Lu Sheng had just inexplicably smashed the car of the second young master of the Zhou family. If Zhou Yuming had provoked Lu Sheng first, that would be one thing. But the key was, Zhou Yuming hadn’t done anything!

Moreover … After smashing the car and humiliating Zhou Yuming, Lu Sheng had even reported his own name.

This … wasn’t he trying to drag her down with him? Thinking of the potential consequences, He Ling Su felt her head was about to explode.

“Nothing much, just wanted to stand up for you.” Lu Sheng’s demeanor was calm and casual, as if nothing had happened.

After entering the banquet hall, he even started nonchalantly eating from the buffet.

“Stand up for me? What did he do to me that you needed to stand up for me? At least give me a reason, right?”

He Ling Su was about to lose it.

“Reason?” Lu Sheng casually stuffed a piece of cake into his mouth, thought for a moment, and said seriously, “That guy looks like bad news, a playboy through and through. You’re dressed so beautifully today; he could very well notice you and develop wicked intentions, then do whatever it takes to get you … That’s how it’s written in novels. I’m just taking precautions, nipping the danger in the bud.”

“You …” He Ling Su was so angry she laughed, unsure of what to say, and could only give Lu Sheng a thumbs-up.

Lu Sheng remained unfazed.

By this time, the people who had been outside the entrance had also started coming in, including the gloomy-faced Zhou Yuming. Their eyes were almost all fixed on Lu Sheng and He Ling Su. After blending into the crowd, they began whispering among themselves. More and more gazes swept over the two of them.

He Ling Su felt like she was sitting on pins and needles, her expression growing stiff. It was clear that Lu Sheng’s bold move at the entrance was already making waves among the guests at the banquet. Sure enough, before long, someone quickly approached the two of them. It was the handsome man in the white suit who had brought He Ling Su earlier.

His face was slightly grim at this point, and he didn’t look pleased.

“Ling Su!”

The man in the white suit stood before them, his gaze sweeping over Lu Sheng before settling on He Ling Su.

“Cousin Yi.” He Ling Su hurriedly greeted him.

The man in the white suit looked at He Ling Su and said coldly, “Aren’t you going to introduce me to your friend? He’s already managed to provoke the second young master of the Zhou family, deliberately picking a fight, smashing his car, and even using the name of our Chen family. He truly is … remarkable.”

As he spoke, his gaze shifted to Lu Sheng, and his last sentence was delivered with icy sarcasm, like a sharp blade.

Lu Sheng paused his eating, his eyes lighting up bit by bit.

He casually placed his fork on the table, looked at the man in the white suit, and smiled as he spoke, “If I’m not mistaken … You seem to be … insulting me?”
