Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

Chapter 141: Chapter 141: Killing One Hundred with One [Request for Favorites, Request for Recommendations]

Wei Yiqing had just arrived, and the Zhou Family was naturally preparing to bring out Zhou Jingyuan.

So as the conversation reached this point, the Zhou family members led Zhou Jingyuan out.

At this moment, Zhou Jingyuan was exquisitely made up, dressed in luxurious garments, like a delicate porcelain doll.

However, her facial expression was like a mix of crying and laughing, resembling a puppet.

Lu Xiaobu expressed his deep doubts and heartache.

Is this still the same fiery chili who would curse at people at the slightest disagreement on ordinary days?

”Xiaobu!”

It was not until Zhou Jingyuan saw Lu Xiaobu that a burst of divine light exploded in her eyes!

He’s still here, still here!

She wished she could rush over to him right now!

Only there would she find her haven!

She was strong-willed. Two years ago, she fought with her life on the line to gain two years of freedom, and her family agreed not to interfere in her life during high school.

But the cost was that once the college entrance examination ended, she had to return and accept the life planned for her.

So although no one dared to provoke her at Shimen,

what those people regarded was her backing from the Zhou Family, and that of the Wei Family.

She had heard the transaction they were discussing just now.

Although it felt suffocating to be treated as a commodity, and one might say it was very selfish.

But she truly hoped that Lu Xiaobu would agree!

This was her last straw for salvation!

”Miss, please don’t make a fuss.”

Wang Ma grabbed Zhou Jingyuan, firmly restraining her in place.

”Zhang Meng, take action! Bring Zhou Jingyuan back for me!”

Lu Xiaobu’s face darkened.

He didn’t want to wait any longer.

Violence is not the best solution to the problem, but it is the most direct solution!

”Yes, Young Master!”

Zhang Meng took a step forward, and a massive pressure instantly swept across the venue.

”Take action? In the Zhou Family’s place? Someone come!”

Zhou Jingya’s face showed anger for the first time.

With an order, the surrounding bodyguards densely surrounded Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng looked at the dense crowd, seeing them as nothing.

Having undergone extremely strict training, and his body’s hidden injuries healed by the Immortal Bean, he was now at his peak condition!

The surrounding guests scrambled to get out of the way.

”Has he gone mad! To take action in the Zhou Family?”

”Does he think this is a novel? One against a hundred?”

”Lu Xiaobu is crazy, and so is his bodyguard!”

”Ah... overestimating oneself!”

”...”

Meanwhile, Wei Yiqing’s face turned alternately pale and flushed.

He was supposed to be the protagonist today!

But damn it, everyone completely ignored him!

Let them fight! It’s better if they all die!

Under everyone’s disapproving gaze, the battle was on the verge of breaking out.

”Hold on! Stop fighting!”

At this moment, an elder walked out from the house and stopped the imminent fight.

”Grandfather?”

Zhou Jingya saw the elder and immediately frowned: ”Why stop it? Even if that person is strong, he can’t possibly fight a hundred alone!”

”Yes, an ordinary person, even a Special Soldier, can’t fight a hundred with bare hands. But those true strong ones can maintain a one-on-one engagement at all times by maneuvering around. In that scenario, especially if they use lethal moves, at least half of the people here would end up dead or crippled!”

The elder looked at Zhang Meng: ”Others might not be able to, but you definitely can, can’t you? Fierce Tiger War God—Zhang Meng!”

”Mr. Zhou.”

Zhang Meng gave a slight bow to the elder, neither affirming nor denying!

That’s right, even Special Soldiers couldn’t fight a hundred, but they could definitely kill dozens with one move!

After all, most bodyguards are trained in grappling techniques aimed at subduing people.

But they have integrated killing skills into their bones.

If a move can defeat an opponent, they won’t use a second, what with groin kicks and eye gouging, these are ordinary moves in military boxing!

This inherent gap is the biggest one between them!

Hearing the conversation between the two.

The people around them gasped in shock.

”Hiss!”

”Is it that terrifying?”

”Aren’t those novels and such all deceptive?”

”Can one person really fight a hundred?”

”Nonsense, could what Old Zhou said possibly be false?”

”You people, don’t you listen to everything? Old Zhou said that fighting a hundred has its conditions.”

”Fierce Tiger War God, just the name sounds formidable! Even Old Zhou knows it.”

”What shocks me more is, why would someone Old Zhou appreciates be with Lu Xiaobu?”

”...”

The bodyguards around them all broke out in cold sweat!

They couldn’t possibly disbelieve Old Zhou’s words!

Does that mean their previously confident battle was actually them walking a round at Ghost Gate?!

”Zhang Meng, I have been looking for you for a long time.” Old Zhou’s face wore a look of appreciation as he sized up Zhang Meng: ”Still so honest, still so strong, truly worthy of being Fierce Tiger War God.”

”Thank you Old Zhou for your high praise, please speak quickly if there’s a matter, I have orders from the Young Master to carry out.”

Zhang Meng spoke neither servilely nor haughtily, his voice calm.

”Young Master?”

Old Zhou looked up at Lu Xiaobu and frowned: ”No way, Zhang Meng, even for such a prodigal son, he is worthy of your loyalty? What say you? Come back! The terms I previously offered are still valid.”

It seems the Zhou family’s coldness is transmitted from generation to generation, from old to young all displaying a business-like face and tone in handling affairs!

”Old Zhou, from the moment you finished talking about the Young Master, our past ties were severed.”

Zhang Meng bowed slightly, then instantly straightened, his gaze as sharp as a knife: ”Come! Fight!”

Old Zhou’s eyes suddenly narrowed, displaying a hint of displeasure and jealousy!

What virtues and abilities does this Lu Xiaobu have, to make Zhang Meng so wholeheartedly loyal?!

”Fight? No.” Old Zhou pondered briefly: ”Jingya, let your little sister go with Lu Xiaobu.”

”Grandpa?”

Zhou Jingya was stunned, she somewhat couldn’t understand her grandfather’s tactics.

Haven’t even secured any benefit yet, and he’s handing over the bargaining chip?

”That’s my granddaughter, since she can find her beloved, I don’t mind fulfilling her, let go.”

Old Zhou’s tone became very gentle, as if the words came from the bottom of his heart.

But his eyes always inadvertently fell on Zhang Meng.

Obviously, his target was still Zhang Meng.

”Alright!”

Zhou Jingya said reluctantly.

Zhou Jingyuan, watching Old Zhou’s expression, inexplicably felt a bone-chilling coldness.

When she was little, she always thought her grandfather was the kindest to her, always smiling at her, very benevolent.

Not dismissive like others.

However, as she grew up, she understood.

That benevolence, that affection, was the kind of affection one has for goods, for playthings!

In his eyes, she was an illegitimate daughter, never a relative, just a piece of goods.

She didn’t understand, really didn’t understand.

She wondered day and night, isn’t the blood of the Zhou family running through her veins?

Why was she treated like this simply because she was an illegitimate daughter?

But, forget it!

She didn’t want to think anymore.

Although the process was complicated, at least she could still leave the indifferent Zhou family.

Only by Lu Xiaobu’s side did her heart feel warm!

She would never come back again!

However...

Just as she had just come to Lu Xiaobu’s side...

”Old Zhou, I think my offer should be higher! How about giving this ’piece of goods’ to me?”

Someone walked in.

The ’goods’ in his mouth were clearly Zhou Jingyuan!

Lu Xiaobu became furious—damn it, have they all not finished yet?!
