Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 19: Chapter 19 You Coward [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]

”Chat privately? No need, let’s just talk here,” Lu Xiaobu yawned. ”I’m sleepy, Xiaohuzi, if there’s nothing else, kneel and be gone.”

”Sure, let’s go.”

Fu Hu responded subconsciously, never thinking that Lu Xiaobu would dare to refuse.

”Pfft! Hahahaha! Xiaohuzi, you better kneel properly! Make sure your posture is right.”

Zhou Jingyuan burst into laughter upon hearing this, slapping the table as she cackled wildly.

”Damn it! Lu Xiaobu, you’re courting death!”

Hearing Zhou Jingyuan’s laughter, Fu Hu finally realized what was going on.

He was so furious that he clenched his fists and raised them violently.

What the hell do you mean, ”kneel and be gone”?

Did I actually agree like a fucking idiot?!

”Come on, hit me. Aim for my body,” Lu Xiaobu stared at Zhou Jingyuan, his voice cool and composed. ”You better hope that one punch kills me, then see if the Lu family won’t go all out against you.”

With those words, Fu Hu suddenly froze as if a spell had been cast, his raised fist stuck in mid-air.

The anger in Fu Hu’s heart lessened a bit.

Right, with Lu Xiaobu’s physique, my punch could kill or severely injure him!

I know how crazily doting the Lu family is on Lu Xiaobu!

Go all out?!

That’s putting it lightly!

I can guarantee, if anything happens to Lu Xiaobu, the Lu family won’t hesitate to spend any amount to take me down, even my father’s life!

Despite my father’s control over the Underworld, there’s no shortage of people willing to kill for money in this world!

Hiring a few Assassins would be all too easy.

”Xiaohuzi, you coward, do it!” Zhou Jingyuan, ever the troublemaker, egged him on from the side. ”Don’t worry, your passing will be peaceful, with a smile on your face. The sun will shine brightly that day, the fire will burn fiercely, the ashes will be scorching, and your family will be strong without shedding tears, playing mahjong instead. I’ll even send you off with the song ’Liàng Liàng’.”

”Motherfucker!” Fu Hu completely lost his cool.

”Who are you cursing?”

Zhou Jingyuan’s face darkened as she jumped off the table, glaring at Fu Hu.

”Fu Hu.” Liu Changlong realized he had to intervene: ”If you’re cursing Lu Xiaobu, just say it. Otherwise, people might get the wrong idea.”

Hearing Liu Changlong speak, Fu Hu realized his mistake as well, gritting his teeth: ”Yeah, I’m cursing Lu Xiaobu.”

Both acted as if Lu Xiaobu was nothing to them, arrogantly cursing Lu Xiaobu by name without any consideration for his feelings.

Their message was clear—Lu Xiaobu, just take it. Not only do you have to hold your tongue, but you also need to cough up the money.

”Lu Xiaobu, stop the crap and hurry up! Do what you need to do! Don’t force us, or it’ll be embarrassing for everyone,” Liu Changlong said sternly, looking at Lu Xiaobu with a fierce scowl.

”Force you? Your mother’s a whore!” Lu Xiaobu scoffed and cursed. Bullying him? Who the hell did they think they were?!

”Good! Very good! You asked for it! Today I’ll make you regret it!” Liu Changlong was furious.

Today, Lu Xiaobu had really angered him!

Daring to mock Fu Hu and defy him!

He pulled out a stack of photos from his chest and flung them out, his tone menacing: ”Let’s all take a look! This is the little bird of our prodigal son, not even as big as my pinkie!”

The photos fluttered around the classroom, and everyone saw them.

Immediately, the room filled with low snickers.

”Wow, is this little thing? Even smaller than my little brother’s.”

”Poor guy, he’s hopeless for life!”

”Yeah, if that were my dick, I would’ve killed myself already.”

”What’s this? When you have money but nowhere to spend it, now Lu Xiaobu has really lost face.”

”...”

Lu Xiaobu’s eyes narrowed slightly—so that’s what it was! My ex really had it in for me, getting something like this caught on camera! No wonder you were so obedient to Liu Changlong and his cronies!

In the classroom, the boys laughed unabashedly, while the girls, some shy, still sneaked peeks and let out quiet chuckles.

”Tsks tsks tsks, it really is tiny,” Zhou Jingyuan said as she unabashedly picked up a photo to examine closely: ”Lu Xiaobu, now I see why you’re so afraid of Liu Changlong. Turns out you’ve got a little weakness he’s got a grip on!”

Everyone watched Lu Xiaobu with a spectator’s interest, curious to see how he would embarrass himself.

Liu Changlong watched Lu Xiaobu and let out a cold laugh—Dare to defy me? The real killers are never the ones with the flashing knives!

He could already imagine Lu Xiaobu losing face all the way home, crying his eyes out!

Fu Hu also sneered, looking down at Lu Xiaobu: ”Dare to make a fool of me? Today you’ll learn what ’dead’ means.”

But to everyone’s surprise, Lu Xiaobu didn’t show the slightest hint of shame or annoyance under all the watchful eyes.

Angry?

The more pissed you get, the happier these two idiots will be!

Dare to catch a little weakness of the young master?

Mock the young master’s size?

The young master will whip you to death!

So instead of showing any anger, Lu Xiaobu looked at Zhou Jingyuan with great interest: ”It’s quite big, should be just right for you! After all, one key fits one lock, doesn’t it? How big is yours?”

”You! Mine’s huge, enough to crush you to death!” Zhou Jingyuan fumed.

Under these circumstances, this Lu Xiaobu still had the nerve to tease her?

The rest of the class was stunned.

”Has Lu Xiaobu lost his mind? Why isn’t he reacting at all?”

”Right! Could there be some mistake?”

”Yes!”

”...”

Liu Changlong’s face turned green with frustration. He felt like he had thrown his full power into a punch, only to hit air—the feeling was exasperating!

”Lu Xiaobu, look closely! This is your photo!”

Fu Hu, refusing to give up, picked up a photo and slapped it in front of Lu Xiaobu, roaring with fury.

”Is this it?” Lu Xiaobu glanced at the photo and sneered: ”I can find a hundred of these online, all with your name, Fu Hu, on them. You come to shame yourself with this little trick?”

He thought to himself with an inward sneer—Ever heard of ’money makes the world go round’? Just wait, I’ll teach you a good lesson today!

With that said, everyone started to catch on.

”Yeah, there’s no identifier on this, who says it’s Lu Xiaobu’s?”

”Exactly, especially Lu Xiaobu’s expression, it’s not like him at all.”

”If I was ridiculed with this kind of thing, I would have crawled into a hole by now, but look at Lu Xiaobu, he’s totally fine.”

”...”

Listening to the surrounding whispers, Liu Changlong’s face turned thunderous, and he snapped: ”Shut up! Would I, Liu Changlong, use something like this to deceive you? You might dodge the monk, but you can’t dodge the temple, just wait and see when Lu Xiaobu goes to the bathroom!”

With his words, there was a sudden realization among the crowd.

”Right, we just need to see it for ourselves.”

”Lu Xiaobu can’t avoid going to the bathroom forever.”

”Besides, if he won’t let us see, then it must be true.”

”...”

”Trying to fight me?” Liu Changlong glared at Lu Xiaobu with a malicious smile: ”I’ll show you the difference between us.”

”No need, I’m ready to go to the bathroom right now for all of you to see,” Lu Xiaobu said as he twisted his neck: ”But Liu Changlong, if this isn’t mine, should I sue you for slander or libel?”

”Sue me? No need, let’s keep it simple.” Liu Changlong sneered and pulled out a bunch of keys and slammed them on the table: ”If it isn’t your bird in the photo, then this million-dollar Liema X5 is yours.”

”Fine, I’ll bear witness.” Zhou Jingyuan continued to stir the pot, snatching the keys from Liu Changlong’s hand: ”No one gets to back out!”

”No problem!” Lu Xiaobu said with a grin: ”You’d better take a close look too, see if you can actually crush it!”

”Get lost!” Zhou Jingyuan cursed, fuming.
