Chapter 35: Chapter 35: Then Be Even More Ruthless [Please Favorite, Please Recommend]"Alright, Young Master. I’m already on it," Qianmin replied.

    Hearing Xiaobu’s words, Liang Lan calmly nodded. Each to their own expertise; she had already started handling it.

    She had spent some time at the Zhang Family’s place and was well-acquainted with their information.

    Now, with the cyber force that Young Master had formed, the Lu Family army—this terrifying cyber power—

    And adding her own capabilities as Tian Jilan, opposing other families might be a challenge, but the Zhang Family?

    Heh...

    Hadn’t there been someone online smearing the Lu Family, trying to trap them in a trust crisis?

    Well, now let them see the true methods of these tactics from those lurking in the shadows!

    "Take on the Zhang Family? Hahahaha! Xiaobu, don’t engage in such wishful thinking. Not just you, but the entirety of the Lu Family—all combined—would still need to weigh your chances! Even with Liang Lan, you wouldn’t be able to make a single hair fall from the Zhang Family’s head!"

    Zhang Wenliang laughed uproariously as if he had heard the joke of the century, clutching his belly: "Li Fucheng, what do you think? Ridiculous, isn’t it?"

    The surrounding distributors revealed awkward smiles, helplessly chiming in: "Yes, yes."

    That’s it—now they’ve truly offended the Lu Family!

    Nevertheless, there was some truth in what Zhang Wenliang said!

    Indeed, the Lu Family was no match for the Zhang Family.

    However...

    "Ding-dong!"

    Suddenly, a multitude of notification sounds echoed throughout the exhibition.

    The distributors didn’t dare to look at their phones, but many others in the audience took theirs out.

    "Holy shit!"

    An outcry emerged from the crowd.

    "How is this possible?"

    "No way, is this for real? That’s terrifying!"

    "Yeah, if this is true, I wouldn’t dare go to the Zhang Family’s bar anymore."

    "Whether it’s true or not, it’s better to just avoid it!"

    "..."

    "What are you all talking about?"

    Zhang Wenliang was stunned—how had it come around to his family’s bar?

    "Young Master Zhang, check the news now! There’s trouble at the Zhang Family’s place!"

    Li Fucheng hurriedly advised him while holding his phone.

    "What!?"

    Zhang Wenliang quickly accessed the news. He didn’t even have to search—the top story was about the Zhang Family!

    "The Den of Evil: Are the Zhang Family’s Bars Just Drinking Establishments, or Havens for Sin?"

    Zhang Wenliang clicked on the news article; after a quick skim, everything went dark before his eyes...

    "Ptui!"

    He spat out a mouthful of blood!

    This article, several thousand words long, depicted the Zhang Family’s bar as a breeding ground for evils!

    Fistfights, the underworld reign, ladies everywhere, consumer fraud, fake liquor, and so on—all clearly laid out!

    These things were commonplace in bars, an industry inherently gray in nature!

    But the article wrote them in excruciating detail, magnifying these issues countless times, even specifying a few individuals.

    The way these people were written about was just brilliant!

    Never mind others, if it weren’t his own family’s bar, even Zhang Wenliang himself would want to shed tears and curse out the unscrupulous establishment!

    "Damn it, who did this?! I’ll kill his whole family!"

    Seeing the hundreds of thousands of shares, likes, and comments cursing them, Zhang Wenliang bellowed in fury, smashing his phone!

    With things as they were, there was no need for crisis management; it’s already a disaster set in stone!

    "Right, post this too." Liang Lan nodded: "The Zhang Family’s son, publicly threatening the whistleblower’s safety in broad daylight, vows to slaughter the entire family!"

    And then, in less than a minute...

    "Zhang Family Scion Threatens Whistleblower’s Safety in Public, Boasts of Killing an Entire Family!"

    "Could the Zhang Family Really Be the Mafia?"

    "Calls for the Authorities to Investigate the Zhang Family"

    "Pfft!"

    Zhang Wenliang spurted out another mouthful of blood and fell back face up!

    He realized, finally understanding what a terrible decision he had made last night!

    Handing over Tian Jilan to Lu Xiaobu, only for Tian Jilan now to turn their guns on them, bringing the Zhang Family to the brink of disaster!

    "Young Master, based on current estimates, the Zhang Family’s business will shrink by more than one third. Are you satisfied? Have you vented your anger?" Liang Lan asked with a beaming smile.

    "Do I seem cruel?" Lu Xiaobu asked.

    "Not at all," Liang Lan said, chuckling.

    "Then let’s be more cruel!" Lu Xiaobu sneered, "Who let Young Master Zhang’s family be so formidable? Young Master Zhang himself told me money isn’t everything, and that we couldn’t even touch a single hair on their head!"

    "Right, I think so too. The Zhang Family is indeed grand and influential!" Liang Lan immediately nodded in agreement.

    Hearing the conversation between these two, despite the warm weather, a chill quietly descended inside the exhibition center.

    While the general public didn’t feel too much, the dealers were shivering!

    Terrifying!

    That was the only thought in Li Fucheng’s mind!

    Far too terrifying, who said this prodigal son was foolish?

    In a reversal, the Zhang Family lost one third of their assets and even more losses are to come?!

    If they were to target them...

    All the dealers shivered, exchanging glances as they began to shuffle their feet, approaching Lu Xiaobu with sycophantic smiles.

    "Young Master Xiaobu, I must have been out of my mind just now. Please don’t take it to heart. Whatever car you want, just say it, I’ll give you a 50% discount, half price!"

    The Hummer dealer said fawningly — what’s half price, it’s basically him preparing to pay out of pocket!

    "Not only will we give you a 50% discount, but we’ll also throw in a full set of decorations!"

    The Bao Bao dealer rubbed his hands and said with a sycophantic smile — isn’t it just losing money, who can’t do that?

    "About the license plate, I have some connections and can help you get it for free! Of course, I’m not saying Young Master Xiaobu can’t afford it, but to save you the hassle!"

    The Ben She dealer bowed and scraped — better transfer the license plate I bid for to Young Master Xiaobu!

    "Xiao Li, Xiao Mei, what are you spacing out for? Don’t you see the Young Master is a bit tired? Hurry up, and call Little Wang over here to give the Young Master a leg massage!"

    Li Fucheng was the cruelest, almost getting down on his knees, half-squatting in front of Lu Xiaobu with a rag, "Young Master, look at your shoes, they’re dusty. Let me wipe them for you!"

    "..."

    People at the exhibition center gazed as the usually high-and-mighty dealers were now obsequiously serving Lu Xiaobu, sending envious stares. Sёarch* The novёlF~ire.net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

    "That’s too awesome!"

    "Just with those few words, Zhang Wenliang is that angry? And those dealers are all groveling?"

    "He’s a prodigal son? More like a god!"

    "..."

    "Weren’t you all just breaking it down very clearly? What happened now?" Wu Qianmin heckled from the side, "Weren’t you the same people who just now helped Zhang Wenliang slap Xiaobu’s face?"

    Besides feeling exhilarated from letting off steam, she was also incredulous.

    The Zhang Family, that was the Zhang Family, even bigger than the Lu Family.

    And just like that, they were easily suppressed?

    Before, she didn’t have too much of a feeling about it.

    Did that mean, that the so-called online trolls specialized in insulting, that Lu Xiaobu employed, were actually that powerful?

    It was like controlling the wind and calling the rain!

    Wasn’t Lu Xiaobu just using them to mess with that little star named Lan Cai before?

    Furthermore, why was Lu Xiaobu so domineering today?

    However, Lu Xiaobu couldn’t be bothered dealing with that bunch of fair-weather flunkeys, instead, he sneered while looking at Zhang Wenliang on the ground: "Young Master Zhang, how does my slap compare? As good as the one you gave me? Do you want to teach me again?"
