"No, I"m not going to take this one."
"But Lu Xian Yu!"
"When I said no, it"s a no." The temperature in the room dropped several degrees.
Long Wei could feel the chills run down his spine even if he was just talking to Lu Xian Yu through the phone. He could imagine how deadly he would like if he was there!
"Boss..."
"Oh, you just remembered that I"m your boss?" Lu Xian Yu scoffed. "I do what I want, Long Wei. If you can"t find anyone to do it then decline the offer."
After that Lu Xian Yu ended the call.
"What did he say?" A man asked, crossing his legs.
"He didn"t take the bait."
The man was wearing a neatly pressed suit, the kind you only see on high priced lawyers and gangsters, his face was void of emotions. He appeared to be in his mid-forties. His hair was done very nicely, he had some form of oil mixed in to give a short but noticeable wavy form to the black strands. His eyebrows were impossibly straight, his eyes made of rich mahogany. The most striking feature was the pencil-mustache. It highlighted the frown placed upon his mouth and somehow made him seem more authoritative than his aura already suggested.
"I"m sorry, Mr. Lou. I"ve been trying to track him but he seems to disappear as soon as he gets to finish his mission. If he was in this country, I would be able to easily find him but he seemed to be somewhere else."
Lou Quinan"s eyes narrowed, "If we can"t find him then we"ll let him come to us instead."
"Yes, Mr. Lu, I will take care of it." Shen Juan said from the other line. "He"s been trying to hunt you down for a while now."
"I know. I plan on going back there to handle it." Lu Xian Yu sighed, "Tell me, Shen Juan, how many are the people who still want to kill me there?"
"Excluding Luo Quinan, there are 3 more who are known to have this desire, boss."
Lu Xian Yu ma.s.saged the bridge of his nose, he didn"t want to put his family in danger if he planned on going back to China with them, that was why he was planning to settle his problems there first. "Should I fake my own death?"
"Or maybe you could become the new Wolf king and rule the underground business. If everyone feared you, then there shouldn"t be any problem, right?" Shen Juan suggested.
Lu Xian Yu sighed, "I"ll think about it. I"ll be going back there next week."
Since Qinqing"s birthday was on the same week, they all celebrated his birthday and just like in Mengmeng"s birthday, Lu Xian Yu showed him the video that Xia Sinian prepared for the little boy.
After spending the week with Li Bingbing and her family, he returned to China.
No one knew about his return except for Lu Yifeng and Shen Juan, that was why, when he arrived, he didn"t waste time. He started putting his plan into action.
Since Luo Quinan was after his life and he was using Long Wei as a spy in his group, he decided to put them out first.
Lu Xian Yu wasn"t planning on hiding himself, that was why he attended one of the charity gala that Luo Quinan was attending.
Since the place was filled with Luo Quinan"s men, Lu Xian Yu brought men of his own as well.
"I never expect to see you here, Mr. Lu." Luo Quinan flashed Li Xian Yu a smile.
"Well, what can I say? I am just full of surprises." He offered Luo Quinan a gla.s.s of wine. "Here, have some."
Luo Quinan took a glance on the gla.s.s of wine before he looked back at Lu Xian Yu, "I don"t want to be rude but Mr. Masked Demon is just not known as a dangerous fighter but he specializes in poisoning others."
"My, you sure did your homework, Mr. Luo." He chuckled, "But do not worry. This wine is clean. Where"s the fun if I finished you quickly?" Lu Xian Yu gave a mocking smirk at him.
A dangerous glint flushed in Luo Quinan"s eyes but the smile on his lips remained. He took Lu Xian Yu"s gla.s.s of wine instead.
Lu Xian Yu chuckled, "You don"t trust me, eh?"
"Why should I?" He took a sip on the wine.
Lu Xian Yu shrugged before he took a sip of wine as well, "By the way? Where is that underling of yours? Long Wei?"
Luo Quinan narrowed his eyes at the mention of Long Wei. How did Lu Xian found out that Long Wei was actually working for him?
Just then, a loud scream of a woman, coming from the balcony was heard. The woman screamed because she found the dead body of a man when she entered the balcony.
Luo Quinan became more alert because of the scream, he was about to pull out his gun but he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his chest. The burning sensation spread and that was when he realized that he was poisoned.
"Y-you..." He coughed out blood.
The guests who heard a gunshot panicked and they started screaming and running out of the hall.
How could it be? He saw Lu Xian Yu drink from his own gla.s.s so he was sure there wasn"t any poison in it.
Lu Xian Yu sighed, "I have offered you a drink with no poison in it and yet, you really have to get my drink, eh?"
"Ho... how?" If Lu Xian Yu"s drink was really poisoned, then why wasn"t he affected?
Lu Xian Yu smiled mischievously at him, "You forgot something in your homework, Mr. Luo. Any form of poison doesn"t work on me."
Luo Quinan fell on his knees, he continued on coughing out blood. The men he placed around hurriedly went to his side but they weren"t able to see Lu Xian Yu anymore since he disappeared in the crowd that was rus.h.i.+ng out the place.
