"Spirit Sparrow King, that Lu Yang openly said you are not his match, this is challenging your authority. I think you should come now and defeat this kid directly, let him know that the Spirit Sparrow King cannot be insulted, and those who insult will surely die!"
Xiao Wuji said coldly into the phone.
"His mouth is on him, let him say what he wants, I don't care!"
Cheng Wanyun said coldly.
"This..."
Hearing this, Xiao Wuji was instantly speechless. He thought Cheng Wanyun would be angry and rush over immediately, surround the entire Guoxing Grand Hotel, and personally break Lu Yang's limbs, making Lu Yang a cripple for the rest of his life. This was the price of insulting the Spirit Sparrow King. But what Xiao Wuji never expected was that Cheng Wanyun wasn't angry at all, and instead said something nonchalantly, which left Xiao Wuji in a difficult position.
"The Spirit Sparrow King says she's busy today, and she'll definitely kill you when she has time!"
"Let's go!"
Xiao Wuji uttered a fierce remark and left the Guoxing Grand Hotel with his men.
Lu Yang sneered. He knew that Cheng Wanyun might not necessarily compete with him. After all, Cheng Wanyun had just received the inheritance and probably needed to hone her skills. Moreover, Cheng Wanyun didn't know how high his strength was, nor did she think Lu Yang was that powerful, so she wouldn't initiate a fight.
After resolving this risk, Lu Yang handed over the consolidation of the five major steel companies entirely to Wang Zhigang. The other steel magnates also had no objections, as Wang Zhigang was the first to stand up and support Lu Yang. If they dared to object, their fate would likely be no different from that of the big man Lu Yang had subdued.
At this moment, Huang Heiniu walked in and respectfully approached Lu Yang, smiling and saying, "Director Lu, the meal is ready. Please stay for dinner before you go!"
"Mhm!"
Lu Yang considered it and decided to give Huang Heiniu face.
Hearing Lu Yang agree, Huang Heiniu was incredibly excited and took out the Maotai he had been saving for over ten years.
Meanwhile, at Tang Shimin's villa, because Song Xiaoyun's master, Jaguar King, died at Lu Yang's hands, the entire Dark Alliance was shaken. They immediately recalled all their personnel in China, including the now crippled Song Xiaoyun.
After they left, Tang Shimin's villa was finally empty, and the family of three eagerly moved in.
"Shimin, you've confirmed Lu Yang's identity now. He is the chairman of Haitian Group, so no matter what, you must win him over. Only by holding onto Lu Yang will our family be worry-free for the rest of our lives. You'll also be able to realize your ideals and ambitions, and develop the Tang Corporation. Otherwise, Lu Yang will eventually marry another woman. Think about it, will they still care about the Tang Corporation then? They'd wish for the Tang Corporation to go bankrupt!"
"Therefore, only by being with Lu Yang can you protect our entire family and the Tang Corporation!"
Li Xiumei said earnestly to Tang Shimin.
"Mom, but I'm already divorced from Lu Yang, how can I win him back?"
Tang Shimin said helplessly.
Even if she regretted it deeply now, it was useless. Tang Shimin had divorced Lu Yang back then to curry favor with the chairman of Haitian Group. She never expected Lu Yang to be the chairman of Haitian Group. She had essentially lost the watermelon to pick up a sesame seed.
"Shimin, you must know that even though you treated Lu Yang like that, that good-for-nothing Lu Yang still has you in his heart. To be precise, he likes the you from three years ago. As long as you cooperate and put on a show, stage a car accident, and then revert to your intelligence level of a six or seven-year-old child from three years ago, Lu Yang won't abandon you. This is the only way to keep Lu Yang!"
Li Xiumei continued to say to Tang Shimin.
"Intelligence level of a six or seven-year-old child?"
"But I don't know how to act. If Lu Yang finds out, it will all be over!"
Tang Shimin had no idea how she would interact with Lu Yang with the intelligence of a six or seven-year-old.
"You might not know this, but Mom does! Mom will tell you now. Back then, you depended on Lu Yang for everything. You liked spicy strips and steamed dumplings, and Lu Yang would buy them for you on time. Whatever you liked, he would help you with it without hesitation. Every night before sleeping, you needed Lu Yang to hold you and coax you to sleep before he would go to bed..."
As Li Xiumei spoke, Tang Shimin realized how good Lu Yang had been to her back then, and how happy she was at that time. She just didn't expect that now she could no longer feel any of Lu Yang's kindness. For the sake of survival and the Tang Corporation, she had become a mercenary woman.
Although Tang Shimin regretted it deeply, such were the ways of the world, and she had no way back. Her goal was to make the Tang Corporation flourish, and she needed money. Even if Lu Yang was incredibly good to her, if Lu Yang were a penniless bum, Tang Shimin would still choose to leave. But now that she discovered Lu Yang was the chairman of Haitian Group, Tang Shimin would spare no effort to win Lu Yang back.
"These are basically all of them. Have you remembered everything? When you act, be sure not to reveal any flaws, otherwise all our efforts will be in vain!"
Li Xiumei said to Tang Shimin.
"Don't worry, Mom, I will definitely bring back that six or seven-year-old version of myself!"
Tang Shimin nodded forcefully and then walked out of the villa with Li Xiumei.
...
On the other side, Lu Yang was eating with Huang Heiniu. While they were halfway through the meal, Lu Yang's phone suddenly rang. It was Li Xiumei.
Lu Yang directly hung up, not intending to answer. But Li Xiumei kept calling, three times in a row. Finally, Lu Yang answered.
"Lu Yang, it's bad! Shimin... she had a car accident. Come quickly, or she'll die if you're any later!"
Li Xiumei shouted into the phone.
"What?"
Hearing this, Lu Yang's first reaction was that the Death Killer Organization had deliberately staged this car accident to lure him out. But he never expected the target of the car accident this time to be Tang Shimin again, which made Lu Yang feel incredibly upset.
"Where is it?"
Lu Yang asked directly.
"At the intersection of North Street and South Ring Road, come quickly!"
After hearing the address, Lu Yang directly hung up.
"Director Lu, what happened?"
Seeing Lu Yang's expression was off, Huang Heiniu quickly asked.
"Tang Shimin had a car accident, I have to go."
Lu Yang said directly.
"I'll find someone to take you!"
Huang Heiniu knew Lu Yang had drunk quite a bit, so he couldn't drive. He quickly said.
"Mhm!"
Lu Yang nodded, got into the car arranged by Huang Heiniu, and headed towards the scene of the accident.
