The Bootlicking Antagonist Only Wants to Survive, but the Female Lead Refuses to Follow the Usual Plot

Chapter 147 His Gaze

Lu Chengwen took a dump, washed his face, thought of a solution, and walked out.

He originally wanted to rack his brains and send Hua Xueqing back to Long Aotian.

But when he came out, he didn't see Hua XueqingD but saw a small dart stuck on the door frame.

"What's going on!?"

He was about to reach out to take it off, but Hua Xueqing said coldly: "Don't touch it with your hands."

"Ah?"

Hua Xueqing walked over, put on a pair of deerskin gloves with a straight face, took off the dart, and put it in a small bag.

"You have no street smarts at all."

"What is this thing?"

"I don't know!" Hua Xueqing said impatiently.

He walked into the living room, Lu Chengwen was instantly dumbfounded.

Three men were tied up and kneeling in the sunken lounge area of the living room.

"What happened?"

"They came to kill you, and I took care of them."

Lu Chengwen was surprised: "Kill me?! No way?"

Hua Xueqing said with a straight face and a stiff tone: "What did you do to the Xuecheng branch of the big organization? How could they not hate you?"

"I messed with them?" Lu Chengwen said unconvinced: "Besides seducing their four big kings, making them betray the big organization to be my brothers; conveniently swindling 15 billion from them and using it to live a life of luxury; and also having them each beat up that bastard Long Aotian a few times, what else did I do? Just for those few things, they would want to kill me?"

Hua Xueqing said with a straight face: "Lu Chengwen, you are shameless."

The members of the Hezi Guard were shocked!

They were all gagged, but they could still hear!

The four big kings all defected?!

does our branch have over 10 billion in cash?!

It's all given to Lu Chengwen?!

We were wondering why our salaries weren't paid, and our travel expenses weren't reimbursed. It turns out...

Wait, no! Young Master Long Aotian?!

He was beaten up?

Isn't he...something something, a prodigy with a great reputation? How could he be beaten up by Lu Chengwen, a rich generation?!

Lu Chengwen also felt that what he said was a bit unreasonable.

"Ah, it's... I... um... took some money..."

Hua Xueqing angrily corrected: "It's not a little bit! It's a full 15 billion!"

"Okay, okay, 15 billion. But I only seduced four kings, a strategist, and their seven or eight close brothers. Just these few people, would they want to kill me?!"

The three men were about to go crazy!

Brother, are you speaking human language?

How many people are there in the Red Robe Guard? You emptied their whole home!

You bought up their entire leadership team!

Hua Xueqing also said: "Their Red Robe Guard only has four kings, okay? Why are you so unreasonable? Besides, you beat up our young master!"

Lu Chengwen angrily said: "He deserved to be beaten up by me! I gave him 5 billion, let me beat him up again!"

"Don't talk bad about our young master!"

Lu Chengwen said: "Let's be reasonable, Tie Tuo Wang broke dozens of his bones! The second time, he chased him and beat him down a cliff, almost to death!"

"Tong Tuo Wang beat him up like a pig, and kicked his legs before leaving!"

"And there's Yin Tuo Wang, Yin Tuo Wang beat him so badly that he couldn't take it anymore, he fell from the building and landed on the first floor, suffering a powder fracture all over..."

"But from start to finish, did I panic? Did I get angry? Did I send people to chase after him? No! I didn't! I was calm all along, wasn't I?"

The three men were terrified.

Are you a human being?

How dare you say it in such a tone?

You seduced our people, took our money, beat up our boss... What are you panicking about? What are you angry about? You chased us?!

Hua Xueqing was stunned by Lu Chengwen's aura, her mouth moved:

"Yes, this matter may also be our young master's fault, but..."

The three men were all crying.

Who is this girl? Where did she come from?

Her martial arts are amazing, but what's wrong with her brain?!

Isn't this playing with people?

Falling into her hands, it's frustrating!

Hua Xueqing felt she was in the wrong: "Alright, you also have a point, let's say I'm wrong, okay?"

Lu Chengwen grabbed Hua Xueqing's hand: "Xueqing, although you're violent, you like to kill people, and you kill without blinking an eye when doing things for your young master. But, I know you're a good girl."

Hua Xueqing blushed, twisting her waist: "You want me to be good? Don't you often call me stupid?"

"I won't let you talk about yourself like that!"

Lu Chengwen gently pressed a finger on Hua Xueqing's lips: "You're not stupid, you're kind, simple, and compassionate! Besides, your martial arts are so good. How could a girl who can cultivate such good martial arts be stupid?"

Hua Xueqing had a smile in her eyes: "You...you're so smooth-tongued, I don't care about you."

Hua Xueqing shyly wanted to run away, but Lu Chengwen pulled her back: "Hey, big sister, you're leaving, what about these three?"

"How would I know? Aren't you going to interrogate them?"

Lu Chengwen rubbed his chin: "Let Yin Tuo Wang and Tong Tuo Wang come over, they can handle their own people's business."

Hua Xueqing nodded: "Okay."

Yin Tuo Wang and Tong Tuo Wang came over, and the first reaction they had when they saw Hua Xueqing was to almost attack.

Especially Tong Tuo Wang, who almost died in Hua Xueqing's hands when he was trying to get her out.

Although Hua Xueqing's brain wasn't very sharp, her martial arts skills were better than any of the kings.

That wasn't a fight for Tong Tuo Wang, it was a complete escape.

If he hadn't had years of strong skills under his feet, he would have died in Hua Xueqing's hands that day.

Lu Chengwen quickly soothed them: "Hey, don't get excited, now Xueqing is my bodyguard, she's also my maid, everything from before is forgotten."

"Yes."

Lu Chengwen said: "These three are the Heiyifu Guard of your big organization, they came to kill me. You take them away and ask them, tell me what you find out tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Yin Tuo Wang, stay here for a moment."

"Yes."

Everyone left.

Lu Chengwen sat on the open-air balcony, enjoying the breeze, and looking at the urban night scenery.

Yin Tuo Wang stood behind him, feeling restrained.

Lu Chengwen picked up a cigar and was stunned: "Sit down."

"No, Lu Zong is here, how dare I sit?"

Lu Chengwen laughed: "I'll say it again, I'm a businessman, not like your young master who likes to classify people. Sit down, we'll be more comfortable."

"Thank you, Lu Zong."

Lu Chengwen said: "Ask these three people clearly, then let them go back, don't make things difficult for them."

Yin Tuo Wang was stunned: "Young master, the Heiyifu Guard is different from our Red Robe Guard, they will never betray."

"I don't care if they betray, in short, you do this, this, this..."

Yin Tuo Wang looked up at Lu Chengwen: "Lu Zong, I think I understand what you're trying to do."

Yin Tuo Wang left, and Lu Chengwen was preoccupied.

He stood up and stretched, his mood heavy.

Hua Xueqing silently stayed behind him, thinking:

This guy! Did he just trick me again?

The more I think about it, the more I feel something's wrong!

Young Master was mistaken! How could he send me to protect him?

Now I have to take action against the people in the branch!

The branch is also stupid! The young master explicitly said not to kill Lu Chengwen, but they still sent people!

They disregarded the young master's orders!

I have to find a chance to inform the young master about this.

Lu Chengwen didn't know that Hua Xueqing was behind him. With his martial arts skills, he couldn't detect Hua Xueqing's presence.

He held his cigar and paced back and forth.

【This won't do! The branch's hatred level is too high. It seems like they want to fight to the death now.】

【If that's the case, Hua Xueqing really has to stay by my side. If I take those kings around, it will be too conspicuous. They should stay here and act as my black hands, doing some shady deeds.】

【Hua Xueqing is beautiful and capable, and she's very loyal. The key is that she's easy to fool, and I can handle her.】

Hua Xueqing was furious.

Sure enough, he thinks I'm stupid!

This Lu Chengwen, none of his words are believable!

Sooner or later...No, later I swore to protect him, to treat him as my master. Sigh, I'm so angry!

Now I can't kill him!

Not only can't I kill him, I can't let others kill him!

Young master, Young master, Xueqing is so conflicted!

Lu Chengwen was still pacing and thinking.

【I can't die, at least not now.】

【I came to this world, I enjoyed luxury and wealth. These two months have been more exciting than the first half of my life. I'm not afraid of death!】

【But the slum project has to be done. At least I can't leave a mess. If something happens to me, the stock price of the entire Saint Group will collapse.】

【If Saint Group falls, it's not just our business. The whole slum project will fall into an abyss, no one will take it over.】

【From the perspective of the four big families, there will be losses. But the most serious thing is the two to three hundred thousand people in the slums. Who knows when they will be able to get their houses? Before I die, I have to give these two to three hundred thousand families a sense of security.】

【Besides, the slum project is squeezing the local finances. If this continues, it won't just be a district's problem, the entire Xuecheng's economic development will be affected. The impact is too great.】

Hua Xueqing tilted her head, looking confused.

This person, he's not thinking about himself? He wants to build houses for so many people.

I don't understand.

But according to his thinking, it seems like it would be very troublesome if he died now. The young master also said that.

Would it reall have such a serious consequence if he died?

Isn't he just a rich guy?

Ugh, so annoying, everything that happens to this guy is very troublesome.

Lu Chengwen sighed and patted the railing with one hand:

【The slum project has to be accelerated!】

【I don't believe I can't defeat Long Aotian and his pack of dogs!】

Hua Xueqing was immediately angry:

He's insulting my young master again!

But Lu Chengwen's next thought completely shocked Hua Xueqing.

【Long Aotian and I, in the end, probably only one of us can survive!】

【He wants to be the only one in heaven and earth! I want to do my best to protect the people around me!】

【Long Aotian! In this matter, I'm not afraid of death, I won't take a single step back!】

【If you want to destroy everyone who stands in your way and become a king, you have to step over my corpse!】

Hua Xueqing was confused.

She looked at Lu Chengwen's profile.

She saw his resolute eyes.

She suddenly felt a stir in her heart.

She felt that she wasn't stupid at that moment. She saw Lu Chengwen's eyes, completely different from the young master's.

The young master always killed gods if they stood in his way, and killed Buddhas if they blocked his path.

He always wanted to destroy heaven, destroy earth, and destroy the air!

What about Lu Chengwen?

He's usually cowardly and timid. When he sees my young master, he smiles and greets him, he has no backbone!

When he sees a beautiful woman, he leans at her and acts like a dog licking her feet.

His...his eyes...why are they so bright?

Lu Chengwen took out his phone and dialed a number.

"Meiqin, are you resting?"

"Lu Zong, is something wrong at this late hour?"

"If the slum project starts construction on all fronts, what will happen?"

The other side hesitated for a moment: "Lu Zong if we start construction on all fronts, this project will be completed two years ahead of schedule. This will be advantageous for us in terms of time. But if we plan and construct it that way, we'll need at least 100,000 workers, and the input cost is too high!"

Li Meiqin said: "The materials

 we need will be massive, the engineering machinery, vehicles, consumables, labor costs, and the cost of re-planning the project will be astronomical!"

"Starting tomorrow, you take the lead and have the team start researching this matter."

"Lu Zong, please reconsider! Our need for time is not that urgent, and the risk of doing this may quickly cause our entire Saint Group's finances to collapse! The hole may be bigger than we can imagine..."

"I need time, no need to say more, start discussing it tomorrow."

Lu Chengwen hung up the phone.

He smiled slightly: "Now everyone will call me crazy."

Hua Xueqing pressed her sword tightly against her chest, her heart beating wildly.

She didn't know that her gaze at Lu Chengwen at this moment was filled with admiration and respect.
