Leng Qingqiu suddenly felt someone grab his wrist, and in an instant, Li Shengtao's face changed, a wave of anger rising within him.
With his status and family background, no one in LA City had ever dared to lay hands on him like this before. At this moment, he raised his eyebrows, sizing up the man holding his wrist.
The man was wearing casual attire on his upper body and a pair of worn-out jeans on his lower body. His rugged face carried expressions of some weariness and firmness. Although he looked very familiar, he couldn't recall where he had seen him.
His outfit screamed of an ordinary passerby who would blend into a crowd. Seeing this, Li Shengtao sneered, saying, "Where did this bumpkin come from, daring to talk to me like this? Let go of my hand!"
This person was none other than Lu Yu.
At this moment, Lu Yu heard Li Shengtao's words, but rather than letting go, he tightened his grip and said to Li Shengtao, "I am the security manager of Victory Group. Your recent actions towards our president were very unfriendly. I'm politely telling you now: wise up and leave immediately, or don't blame me for being impolite!"
Leng Qing signed an agreement with Lu Yu yesterday, intending to have Lu Yu block people like Li Shengtao.
"You're quite arrogant for a small-time security manager. Do you even know who I am? Telling me to beat it? You're not qualified!" Li Shengtao sneered coldly, "Being impolite to me? Look at your own status. With a single word from me, you could disappear silently from LA City."
Li Shengtao was exceedingly confident at the moment, threatening Lu Yu. With his Li Family's influence, he wouldn't be afraid even if the police chief came. He then tried to shake off Lu Yu's grip violently, but Lu Yu's grip felt like iron pliers, making it impossible for Li Shengtao to break free.
"My patience has limits."
Upon hearing Li Shengtao's threat, Lu Yu showed no reaction. He smiled coldly, saying, "This is your last chance. Leave or not?"
"Go to hell!"
Angered by Lu Yu's words, Li Shengtao immediately threw a punch directly aimed at Lu Yu's face.
Li Shengtao often frequents gyms and has a pretty good physique, appearing much stronger than Lu Yu. A punch like this carried a lot of power, one that even a robust man couldn't withstand.
Seeing Li Shengtao make a move, Lu Yu shook his head and said calmly, "Li Shengtao, five years have passed, and you're still this useless!"
After saying this, Lu Yu easily dodged Li Shengtao's punch and then backhanded a slap right on Li Shengtao's cheek!
Smack!
A loud sound echoed as everyone around turned to see a bright red handprint on Li Shengtao's face, contrasting sharply with his pale complexion!
Witnessing this, the surrounding onlookers were also taken aback. The well-known eldest son of the Li Family in LA City was actually slapped across the face by someone who seemed utterly ordinary!
Instantly, everyone's worldview was deeply challenged. Logically, Li Shengtao should have knocked down this passerby with a punch and walked confidently over to Leng Qing again, but the scene was the richest and most handsome in LA City, being slapped by an unknown passerby, surprising everyone present, including Leng Qing.
Getting slapped in public, Li Shengtao's eyes turned red. From childhood, he was always the one hitting others, no one dared make a move on him like this, making him incredibly angry!
"Leave or not!"
This time Lu Yu gazed at Li Shengtao and said, his expression a mixture of a smile and an unreadable look.
After saying this, Li Shengtao was about to threaten again but stopped because Lu Yu's expression was uncannily like how he was five years ago, a playboy.
The familiar face and expression instantly revealed Lu Yu's identity to Li Shengtao.
"Lu Yu! You're Lu Yu!"
At this moment, Li Shengtao looked as if he'd seen a ghost, shouting loudly. His gentlemanly demeanor shattered!
Five years ago, Li Shengtao and Lu Yu were acquainted and quite close, but in this time, Lu Yu had survived on a deserted island battling beasts, transforming all his excess fat into lean muscle, changing his whole aura, which made Li Shengtao fail to recognize him initially.
At this moment, Li Shengtao was filled with panic. Wasn't Lu Yu supposed to have died in a shipwreck five years ago? How is he alive and standing here today?
"Li Shengtao, five years ago, I beat you to a pulp, and now you're out here harassing my fiancée, you really should be dead!" Lu Yu said with a smile, reminiscing about the past as he spoke.
As Li Shengtao's words echoed, everyone was stunned. No one expected, the Lu Yu reported dead in a sea accident five years ago, would now reappear before everyone, not only that, but slap Li Shengtao in the face in front of Victory Group!
Watching Lu Yu closely, filled with rage, Li Shengtao had never imagined he'd get slapped in public, particularly by his old rival, Lu Yu!
Seeing Li Shengtao's red eyes, Lu Yu smiled slightly and asked, "I ask again, leave or not!"
After saying this, Li Shengtao was momentarily stunned, then looked at Lu Yu with a trace of resentment, and said, "Leave! I'll leave!"
At this moment, Li Shengtao spoke to Lu Yu full of malice, having initially come to court Leng Qingqiu, without his usual bodyguards, now forced to concede in front of Victory Group's door due to Lu Yu's pressure.
"Good you know to leave," Lu Yu said to Li Shengtao, "Take your roses and leave, if I see you harass my fiancée again, I'll beat you so bad even your mother won't recognize you!"
Lu Yu's words carried some humor but also slowly revealed an underlying threat, pressing towards Li Shengtao, making him shiver as if thrown into an ice cellar.
