Gaining a tiny bit of weight every day, my weight is a billion tons.

Shen Hongyuan delivered a passionate speech,

It shattered the worldviews of everyone present.

They forcibly arrested men and extorted money from them.

So fresh and refined,

Such a noble and righteous spirit.

Su Ming stood to the side.

His eyes gleamed with fanaticism.

He mentally cheered wildly.

Wow, that's brilliant!

That's brilliant!

Compared to this old fox, I...

On the broad road of shamelessness

He's practically a greenhorn.

This future father-in-law,

He is the true patriarch!

Lu Beiyuan was speechless for a long time after hearing these words.

In the end, he could only vent his anger on his younger brother.

He roared angrily at Lu Beichen:

"Hurry up and thank Mr. Shen for his guidance!"

Lu Beichen's teeth were almost ground to powder.

But we can only swallow it down.

He struggled to get up.

He bent over at a ninety-degree angle in front of Shen Hongyuan.

The voice trembled:

"Thank you so much, Mr. Shen, for your guidance!"

Bei Chen was extremely grateful; the Lu family… he would never forget them!

Those four words, "unforgettable",

He practically spat out each word through clenched teeth.

Shen Hongyuan didn't care at all.

He received 16 million in cash plus priceless gifts.

Not only has illegal detention been turned into compulsory education,

She also conveniently created a persona for herself as someone who "cares about the younger generation".

"Go back and teach your ancestors to repeat what they said."

Do not embellish or exaggerate, or distort the truth.

"Young people are all well with me."

Eat well and sleep soundly!

The work wasn't done efficiently enough.

We'll need to come back for a few more days to consolidate the results.

After he finished speaking, he waved his hand.

Like shooing away flies.

"Alright, let's go, let's go!"

Lu Beiyuan felt as if he had been granted a pardon.

Lifting up the distraught Lu Beichen,

They boarded the silver-white aircraft as if fleeing.

The hatch closed.

The aircraft slowly ascended into the air.

It soared into the sky.

Su Ming watched the aircraft disappear into the horizon.

Then he looked at Shen Hongyuan with an expression of admiration!

I have never seen such a shameless person!

I need to work harder at my studies!

……

The aircraft cut through the clouds.

It steadily climbed to a cruising altitude of 3,000 meters.

The cabin features luxurious leather sofas and a constant temperature system.

Finally, Lu Beichen regained a sliver of the dignity befitting a young master from a wealthy family.

He changed out of his tattered apron, which was stained with engine oil.

Wearing an expensive custom-made suit again,

Looking out the porthole at the rapidly receding clouds,

His eyes were filled with resentment.

His cheeks were swollen high.

Make him look like an angry pig's head.

"Brother, I refuse to accept this!"

A ragpicker,

Why are you so arrogant? Once we get back to the capital...

I must use my family connections.

Shut down his dilapidated factory.

Make him kneel down and beg me!

He gritted his teeth and plotted.

Not noticing at all

Lu Beiyuan's face behind him was so cold it could have been scraped off with frost.

Lu Beiyuan walked over in silence.

Lu Beichen thought his brother was coming to comfort him.

But what awaited him was...

It was yet another powerful slap in the face!

"Smack!!!"

This slap was even harder than the one at the entrance of the scrap yard.

He pulled Lu Beichen off the sofa and knocked him over.

He fell heavily to the floor.

"Brother, what are you doing!"

Lu Beichen covered his other cheek.

I was completely stunned.

"Still thinking about revenge?"

Lu Beiyuan looked down at him.

Do you know,

You almost didn't make it back?

Lu Beichen's face flushed red.

Arguing with a stiff neck:

"Isn't that just a notorious scrap yard owner?"

Why should our Lu family be afraid of him?

Lu Beiyuan sneered.

Sit down opposite him.

He pushed up his frameless glasses.

"You know what I sent out."

How much is it worth?

"What do you mean?"

Lu Beichen was somewhat stunned.

Lu Beiyuan held up eight fingers.

Lu Beichen was taken aback.

He then grinned.

Although it hurts to spend the money

But there was a hint of relief in his tone, as if he had survived a disaster:

Eighty million?

It was a bit much, but it was to save me.

"This amount of money is still a burden for the family..."

"Add two more zeros."

Lu Beiyuan's voice was devoid of any emotion.

"What?"

I said, add two more zeros.

Eight billion!

Lu Beiyuan spoke slowly and deliberately.

The sound was not loud.

But it was like a thunderclap in Lu Beichen's ears.

"Those two things,

Meteorite from the starry sky and the core of the seventh-generation source energy matrix,

Total value on the black market,

Over eight billion federal dollars!

That's our family's entire year's research budget!

It's all gone down the drain!

The air inside the cabin felt as if it had been sucked out.

Lu Beichen's mind went blank for a full three seconds.

Then he jumped up from the sofa with a "whoosh".

The body's primordial magnetic energy instantly leaked out of control!

"Beep! Beep! Beep beep beep!"

The spacecraft's energy fluctuation alarms went off incessantly.

All the emergency lights on the roof switched to red flashing.

AI driving system automatically announces:

"Abnormal energy fluctuations detected inside the cabin. Forced suppression protocol to be activated shortly..."

"Contain your energy!"

Lu Beiyuan roared.

Lu Beichen felt as if he were being choked.

He desperately tried to force the surging source energy back into his body.

The alarm gradually subsided.

The red light has returned to normal.

He slumped back onto the sofa, dumbfounded.

His lips trembled.

He couldn't utter a single word.

Eight billion...

To save him...

Eight billion was spent?

His eyes welled up with tears.

His voice choked with emotion.

Filled with immense self-reproach.

"Brother...the family did this to save me."

"Paying such a high price..."

He sniffed, his eyes reddening.

"I will definitely turn over a new leaf in the future..."

Cultivate diligently...

"Serve the family..."

He was halfway through his sentence when

He noticed Lu Beiyuan's expression.

That's the look you give someone who's mentally challenged.

No emotion.

Only pity.

What are you moved by?

"You think Great-Grandpa spent eight billion?"

Was it to save you?

Lu Beichen's mouth gaped open, stunned.

"Who do you think you are!"

When these five words came out of Lu Beiyuan's mouth

Lu Beichen's self-satisfaction shattered into pieces.

Lu Beiyuan leaned back in his chair.

He rubbed his temples wearily.

"This eight billion is not just a ransom, but money to buy lives."

"What we're buying is the life of the entire Lu family!"

Lu Beiyuan's voice scraped away at his younger brother's last shred of dignity.

My great-grandfather went into seclusion for twenty years.

He made his decision within half an hour of receiving the news!

It's not because I feel sorry for you.

It's because of that ragpicker you look down on—Shen Hongyuan.

Lu Beichen's pupils contracted sharply.

"In his presence, let alone you..."

Lu Beiyuan pointed at Lu Beichen's nose.

He said it word by word.

"At the critical moment,"

Me, my father, anyone in the Lu family,

They can all be sacrificed! Do you understand?!

The color drained completely from Lu Beichen's face.

He recalled his arrogant demeanor at the scrap yard.

I remember yelling at Shen Hongyuan, "Do you know who my dad is?"

He recalled his threat to have the Lu family's Silver Wing Mech Squad raze this dilapidated factory to the ground.

My spine feels numb in waves.

"Our Lu family can act arrogantly and domineeringly in front of ordinary people."

But in the eyes of someone like Mr. Shen,

With an ant that you could crush at any moment,

There is no difference.

Lu Beiyuan's tone was filled with deep exhaustion and lingering fear.

Lu Beichen was utterly desperate.

He finally realized what a terrifying being he had messed with!

But he was not willing to give up.

All the humiliation and injustice churned within him!

Resentment that has accumulated to an extreme needs an outlet.

Yes, it's him!!

It's all that wild man named Su Ming's fault!

If it weren't for him!

If he hadn't blocked that combat robot,

Now I will be the one accompanying Miss Shen on her training in Yuanyuan!

The Shen family's powerful background,

He should have been my, Lu Beichen's, protector!

He became angrier the more he thought about it.

The resentment that had just been extinguished in his eyes

A fierce flame was rekindled.

"Brother...where's that guy?!"

"Snapped!"

The third big trap has arrived.

Precise and concise.

Lu Beichen's head was slapped to one side.

Blood seeped from the corner of his mouth.

Lu Beiyuan saw through his thoughts:

"You still want to harm that boy?"

"Are you blind?!"

"Just now at the factory,

You didn't notice Mr. Shen and Ms. Shen,

Is there still a spot for that kid named Su Ming?

Lu Beichen was so dizzy from the beating that he subconsciously tried to recall what had happened.

The positions of the three of them

It is a completely undefended, invisible triangle.

When Mr. Shen spoke with his back to Su Ming,

There was no warning whatsoever.

Do you know what this means?

He's already considered that kid one of his own!

"And Shen Qingci!"

You know her personality better than I do.

Rising star on the Prodigy Ranking

Huangfu Jing's student.

From the time I enrolled until now,

The line of suitors on campus stretched all the way to the school gate.

Did she even look at you properly?

She was all shy and bashful when she whispered in that boy's ear!

Use your pig brain to think!

Why is that?!

"Even if we take a step back and assume there's no such relationship at all!"

Lu Beiyuan's tone grew increasingly stern.

"Before I came, I asked around among the people in the Dark Night organization."

On the day of the robot riot,

That kid withstood the rock's attack with his bare body.

Don't you know the level of your [Elemental Magnetic Heart]?

You'll be blown away in the first round!

What makes you think you can beat him?

A series of questions,

Like a series of heavy hammer blows,

It slammed hard into Lu Beichen's heart.

His family background, which he was very proud of,

They are worthless in front of the Shen family.

His prized talent

He was a complete joke in front of Su Ming.

A series of slaps from his older brother, coupled with his intellectual superiority;

Finally, it completely broke down his last psychological defenses.

With a "whoosh",

This young master of the Lu family,

Huddled in his seat,

Holding his face, which was swollen like a pig's head.

She burst into tears.

Lu Beiyuan looked at his pathetic state.

He frowned in disgust.

But in the end, he still sighed.

Why did my great-grandfather insist on breaking through to the eighth rank during his seclusion?

He once said...

The cycle of a major catastrophe is fifty years.

The last time was thirty years ago.

Time is running out for humanity.

"What the Lu family needs is someone who can handle things."

He's not a troublemaker.

"Youth can be wild."

But you absolutely cannot be stupid.

Lu Beiyuan walked up to his younger brother.

The final, iron-fisted order was issued.

"So, Lu Beichen, you better remember this."

"From today onwards,"

Whether at school or not,

It doesn't matter if you're outside.

If you encounter the Shen family again,

And that boy

Put away your spoiled brat attitude!

"Give way where you should."

Those who should hide should hide.

Help those who need it!

Treat me like an ancestor!

"If you dare to do something stupid again..."

He bent down.

The voice was so soft that only two people could hear it.

"No need for Father to lift a finger"

I'll fucking cripple you first.

Lu Beichen's crying gradually turned into suppressed sobs.

He huddled in the corner of the seat.

She curled up into a ball.

He dared not look into Lu Beiyuan's eyes again.

Because he was in a state of extreme confusion.

……

Aren't I the main character?!

Isn't Lao Tzu a prince from a fairy tale?!

Am I not a rich, handsome, and successful man?!

So all that fuss turned out to be...

Am I the world's top-tier, purebred, counterfeit product?!

……
