Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

The battle on Lu Xiaobu’s side ended quite quickly.
However, on the other side, it was much more difficult!
Actually, it wasn’t exactly difficult! To be precise, the process was complicated!
Liang Lan and her group arrived at the bamboo art competition venue.
Today was the finals!
As soon as they came in, they heard the host speaking arrogantly.
"When it comes to bamboo art, it’s still our master from Japan! Look at the people from the Heavenly Dynasty! We kindly invited them to come, but they missed the first day, not humble at all!"
The host stood triumphantly on stage, doing his best to mock the bamboo art of the Heavenly Dynasty.
In fact, every time he introduced a piece of bamboo art from Japan, he would throw in a jab at the Heavenly Dynasty!
It seemed he couldn’t find satisfaction without doing so!
"I demand you apologize!"
Suddenly, a girl stood up angrily and said to the host, "I demand you apologize to the Heavenly Dynasty!"
She was a foreign student!
Clearly, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart!
However!
The host merely sneered, glanced sideways at the student, and continued, "The bamboo art level of the Heavenly Dynasty has long been behind! I heard they once took a bamboo sedan chair as the highest representation of their national art level! It’s really laughable!"
"You!" The student was furious, but many security guards around had already eyed her, making it clear that if she acted impulsively, the situation would escalate!
Outnumbered and outpowered! Outnumbered and outpowered indeed!
"Do you want me to step in?" Li Jin squinted his eyes and asked Liang Lan.
He knew his own strengths and weaknesses; strategic matters had to be left to Liang Lan!
"Yes! Smack him!"
Liang Lan nodded.
Subsequently, Li Jin pushed aside the onlookers and walked up to the host.
"What are you doing?!"
The host was stunned.
"Smack!"
Li Jin slapped him across the face without a word!
The host fell heavily to the ground.
"Why did you hit people?!"
Instantly, all the judges stood up, clamoring.
The surrounding security guards also rushed over!
But, as you might expect, without exception, they all went down with one move!
The whole venue was buzzing with whispers!
"Who is this?"
"What’s going on here?!"
"Why did they suddenly start hitting people?!"
"This person is really powerful!"
"How is he so strong?!"
"..."
This was an official occasion after all, so Li Jin wasn’t heavy-handed, just enough to make a point.
As a result, those who were knocked down all held their aching parts, slowly stood up, and looked at Li Jin in terror.
"Click-clack!"
The sound of high heels could be heard.
Following the sound, Liang Lan gracefully walked onto the stage.
At that moment, all the cameras in the city and all eyes in the venue turned to this stunningly beautiful lady.
Liang Lan walked up on stage, stood beside Li Jin, and looked at the photographers: "Is this a live broadcast?"
The photographers instinctively nodded.
"Very well, then I, as the head of the competition delegation, the head of the Lu Group, and a person from the Heavenly Dynasty—Liang Lan, solemnly request you to apologize!"
Liang Lan spoke with utmost elegance, yet her words were incredibly sharp: "Otherwise, the Lu Group will never let this go!"
As soon as she said this, everyone present was first shocked, then they all began to laugh.
"Ha-ha-ha, I thought so, turns out she’s from the Heavenly Dynasty! No wonder she’s so impulsive!"
"What did she say?! Never let it go?! Is that supposed to make me laugh?! What era do they think this is?!"
"Really interesting!"
"Just a mere group, yet they dare speak like this! Who do they think they are?!"
"Exactly! This is Japan! And they say ’never let it go’?!"
"..."
Especially the organizers, who were almost laughing their heads off!
"Is this woman crazy?! Hitting people and still daring to make bold claims?! Asking us to apologize?! What a joke! Isn’t that right, Master Takamatsu Shinya?"
The head of the organizing committee looked at the nearby bamboo art master with a mocking expression.
"Yes, yes!" Takamatsu Shinya nodded, agreeing!
"As expected, the master thinks the same as I do!" The organizer laughed, "I’ve already notified the police, they’ll be here soon!"
He laughed happily, yet he didn’t notice that the so-called Master Takamatsu Shinya was already breaking out in cold sweat and his expression had frozen!
Takamatsu Shinya was the mastermind of all this, and the one who contacted Ishimoto Kappu to target those students!
He aimed to step up by trampling on the Heavenly Dynasty!
However, what he hadn’t expected was for Lu Xiaobu to strike so quickly!
Upon hearing Lu Xiaobu was coming, he was so scared he couldn’t sleep the entire night, especially when he heard about Ishimoto Kappu’s death, he had a full-blown nervous breakdown!
But fortunately, it seemed Lu Xiaobu was directing his vengeance towards the Daochuan Society next.
This gave him a sense of false security.
However, today it still happened anyway!
No worries! No worries! They don’t know anything about what I did! Just get through this, and it’ll all be fine! At that point, when Lu Xiaobu seeks revenge, it’ll be against these organizers who don’t even know about the Lu Group, not me!
Takamatsu Shinya thus comforted himself!
However, not everyone is a fool!
"Lu Group?!" an old man with grey hair shuddered upon hearing the name!
"Master Yi Dong? What’s wrong?!" The people beside him immediately asked.
This was a famous economics master in Japan, someone highly respected!
"Don’t mind me! Did she just say Lu Group?!" Master Yi Dong urgently asked, "What’s her name?! Liang Lan?!"
"Yes, that’s what she said, Lu Group, Liang Lan!" The person beside him thought for a moment, confirmed it, and then curiously asked, "What’s wrong? Master, is this group very famous? Isn’t it just a group company from the Heavenly Dynasty?!"
"Shut up!" Master Yi Dong quickly scolded, then straightened his clothes and walked onto the stage.
Afterwards, he respectfully said to Liang Lan, "Hello, Miss Liang, I apologize to you on behalf of myself! I hope you can consider the bigger picture!"
His heart was trembling!
Others might not know about the Lu Group, but he did!
This group might not have very much financial power, but they are definitely crazy enough, and surely qualified to say these things!
Liang Lan glanced at this old man indifferently, not speaking.
She didn’t know who he was and wouldn’t make any promises to someone without an official position.
She didn’t recognize him, but the people in Japan certainly did!
"Why did Master Yi Dong go up?!"
"Yes! And he even apologized?!"
"Why?! Master Yi Dong is such a highly respected person?!"
"Could it be! Is this Lu Group really that powerful?!"
"No way! From the name, it’s just a family business! How could a family business be powerful?!"
"That’s true! Let’s see what Master Yi Dong says!"
