Ink Pavilion is the largest cultural center in Lin'an City and also the biggest antique appreciation and auction center. Generally speaking, any antique appreciation auction will be held in Ink Pavilion, not only because of the ambiance here, but also because it has the most authoritative antique appraisal experts!

It's exactly half-past eight in the evening. Inside Ink Pavilion, the major industry bigwigs and famous antique collectors of Lin'an City are gathered together, making the scene quite lively.

Among these people, some are here to display and auction their collections, while others are here to buy antiques, but neither of these is the main focus!

Although not explicitly stated, all the bigwigs present are very clear in their hearts that the core purpose of this auction is to see the so-called person in charge of the Dongdao Group!

While the many bigwigs were conversing with each other, a Rolls-Royce Phantom stopped directly in front of Ink Pavilion. Then, the car door slowly opened, and Lu Yu, dressed in a black suit, holding Leng Qingqiu's hand, slowly got out of the car, instantly attracting everyone's attention!

Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu have a contract; in such public occasions, they both appear as an engaged couple. Because of this, Leng Qingqiu and Lu Yu appear so close.

Today, Leng Qingqiu is wearing a light blue long dress. Compared to the Bohemian dress she wore during the day, this one is more supple, gently clinging to her body, accentuating her perfect figure, making her look exquisite and irresistible, breathtaking at a glance.

As usual, Lu Yu is wearing a black suit, looking very ordinary and low-key, seemingly unremarkable.

As the two got out of the car, Leng Qingqiu slowly took Lu Yu's arm, and the two affectionately walked forward, instantly drawing everyone's attention.

Leng Qingqiu is, of course, the president of Victory Group, a renowned beauty in the business circle, naturally attracting countless gazes wherever she goes.

And after everyone's eyes skimmed over Leng Qingqiu, they fell on Lu Yu, showing a hint of astonishment.

To know that Leng Qingqiu, admired by everyone like the moon among the stars, is appearing here with such an ordinary and low-key man, left many people seeing Leng Qingqiu for the first time quite bewildered.

"Hey, that's Leng Qingqiu, but who's that guy beside her? He looks so ordinary; could he be the son of a super family?"

At this moment, a young man wearing Armani looked at Lu Yu and asked his companions around him, filled with curiosity.

"You don't even know him?"

Hearing the young man's question, his companion looked at him like he was a bumpkin and said, "He's none other than Lu Yu, the once-famous young master of the Lu Family in Lin'an City!"

"Lu Family?"

Hearing this, the young man was slightly taken aback, then said, "Didn't the Lu Family collapse five years ago?"

The Lu Family's downfall five years ago was well known in Lin'an City, so this young man was also quite familiar with Lu Yu's past.

"The Lu Family may have fallen, but he's still Leng Qingqiu's fiancé, living well,"

At this moment, the young man's companion said jealously, "Who knows where Lu Yu got such fortune, it's truly enviable!"

"I see, looks like he's nothing much. How about we go tease him a bit, see if he makes a fool of himself?" With these words, a lecherous smile appeared on the young man's face.

Five years ago, when Lu Yu was in the limelight, he made many people envious and jealous. After the Lu Family's fall, many people thought Lu Yu was weak and easy to bully, that they could humiliate him to gain some satisfaction.

Hearing the young man's words, his companions were about to chime in, when suddenly, a discordant voice came through.

"If you're courting death, by all means, go up and tease him."

A middle-aged man spoke, "Earlier, many second-generation rich kids who were just as unaware tried to do the same, only to be beaten severely by Lu Yu. If you want to die, feel free to try teasing him!"

This man held a certain status in the Lin'an City business circle, having attended several previous parties. He was very familiar with Lu Yu's ways.

"Him?"

Hearing the middle-aged man, the young man looked at Lu Yu, but as his gaze fell on Lu Yu, he suddenly froze!

Because he now saw Lu Yu looking at him with a faint smile!

Having reached twenty-five percent, Lu Yu was extremely sensitive to the surrounding sounds and could hear everyone talking, including this young man's voice!

At this moment, Lu Yu looked at the young man with a faint smile, then narrowed his eyes slightly, exuding a hint of killing intent!

This killing intent, hidden and unrevealed, was like a dagger in the dark, flashing coldly, chilling people to the bone!

Thud!

At the moment this cold gleam shot from Lu Yu's eyes, the young man's legs went soft, and he fell directly to his knees, cold sweat dripping from his forehead, eyes full of terror!

Such an expression was as if a rabbit had seen a lion, that sense of dread making the young man feel weak all over, nearly suffocating!

The young man now felt completely drained, wanting to stand up but having no strength at all!

A single glance!

To deal with such oblivious fools, Lu Yu only needed a single glance to make them kneel, unable to stand!

"What did you do?"

Seeing the young man suddenly kneel beside him and looking at the mocking expression in Lu Yu's eyes, Leng Qingqiu asked softly.

"Nothing,"

Hearing Leng Qingqiu, Lu Yu smiled slightly, raising his voice a bit, "I was just giving a little reminder to some people who lack self-awareness that in such a setting, they shouldn't humiliate themselves!"

Don't humiliate themselves!

As soon as he said this, Lu Yu's voice wasn't loud, yet it was heard extremely clearly by everyone present, making some restless individuals become completely compliant!

And those bigwigs who had witnessed Lu Yu's methods at other parties were secretly alarmed by Lu Yu's words!

Too arrogant!

The present Lu Yu, though much steadier and more composed than five years ago, had become even more arrogant at heart!

"This is a public place, I hope you can restrain yourself, don't act the same as before, hitting people on the spot!"

Now Leng Qingqiu understood Lu Yu's style and strength, a person who had fought alongside death row prisoners for a year without losing, wouldn't fear anyone here!

Yet for some reason, thinking of this brought a strange sense of security to Leng Qingqiu's heart.

The current Lu Yu, though arrogant, gave her a hint of safety within his arrogance.
