Chapter 347: Atonement and Turning the Tide
Fubo Tianwang originally wanted to act cool, but A Hu wasn't up to par!
He could only step forward himself: "Lu Chengwen, I advise you to surrender obediently, return our money to us. Past matters, I can let bygones be bygones."
The moment Lu Chengwen parked the car, he dialed Hua Xueying's number, phone tucked in his pocket.
Standing among them, smiling:
"Return what money?"
A Hu smiled and explained: "It's Your Majesty, you..."
Fubo Tianwang kicked A Hu's butt: "Shut up! Stop talking! Damn it, so many problems caused by you! Still talking about logic, still saying without you it would have been over long ago... it's precisely because you always talk nonsense, interfering with my judgment, that things became like this today!"
A Long said: "Big Brother, can't blame Brother Hu entirely, actually this matter..."
"And you!" Fubo Tianwang said: "Whatever A Hu says, you believe. You two are simply a wondrous pair of weirdos!" (Wo Long Feng Chu - Crouching Dragon, Phoenix Chick, referring to legendary talents, used sarcastically here)
A Yin gritted his teeth: "Big Brother, stop wasting words with him. Lu Chengwen will never surrender obediently. Let's do it!"
Fubo Tianwang nodded: "Lu Chengwen, I'll give you one last chance! You better think clearly before speaking now! Our money, will you return it! Or not!?"
On the distant mountain peak, Jiang Xiaohou sat on a chair, legs crossed, watching the scenery below the mountain with great interest.
Behind her stood an umbrella, a person standing beside it: "Your Highness, should we help Lu Chengwen?"
Jiang Xiaohou smiled: "Let's watch first, should be very interesting."
The man nodded: "The six people opposite are all Shangsimen. Lu Chengwen, a Zhongsimen, definitely won't be their opponent. If we act too late, it might be too late..."
"Then let it be too late. I just want to see what courage this kid has, facing these people alone."
...
Below the mountain.
Fubo Tianwang scolded his brothers all around, then pointed at Lu Chengwen: "Lu Chengwen! State your position!"
At this moment, Hua Xueying descended from the sky, stood horizontally with her sword in front of Lu Chengwen, saying indignantly: "Pei! Traitor!"
Fubo Tianwang's eyes widened: "Hua Xueying! You have the nerve to call others traitors? You yourself are a traitor! I heard from Junshi, you defected from the Young Master's side, followed Lu Chengwen! Because he has money, right?"
"You really are stupid! Following the Young Master, how much money wouldn't you have in the future? Following Lu Chengwen?"
Hua Xueying said angrily: "You dare call me stupid?! I hate people calling me stupid! Besides, what's the use of having money following Tian'er in the future? Following Master now, I have money! Who among us is stupid?"
Fubo Tianwang paused: "Damn?"
Hua Xueying said to Lu Chengwen: "Master, when we fight later, leave this guy to me! He called me stupid! I must kill him!"
Lu Chengwen looked at Hua Xueying: "Xueying, what nonsense are you talking about! I'm a Zhongsimen, these six are all yours."
"Ah? That's difficult, Master."
Lu Chengwen smiled, stepped back.
"Yes."
A Hu thought for a moment: "Xueying, great smarty! You look so beautiful today!"
Hua Xueying paused, then smiled: "You annoying! Troublesome! Later... during the fight, stay far away from me."
"Yes yes yes..."
Fubo Tianwang looked at A Hu, really wanted to kick him to death.
"Lu Chengwen, stop wasting words, give an answer! Otherwise, we'll act immediately!"
"Okay!" Lu Chengwen leaned against the car hood: "Isn't it just money! Problems money can solve are not problems."
The six were all懵 (confused/dumbfounded).
That simple?
Then what were we busy with before!? Just... scare him a bit and he coughs up the money?
Doesn't seem right! Last time he was very tough!
Lu Chengwen, unhurriedly, not rushed at all: "Firstly, the ten billion funds, I will return them to you in full, okay?"
The group looked at each other.
Lu Chengwen further explained: "Meaning, the money in your pockets, count it on my account, consider it my gift to you."
A Hu cupped his fists: "Your Majesty's kindness to this servant is as heavy as a mountain, even if this servant goes through fire and water, it's hard to repay..."
Fubo Tianwang kicked him again: "Shut up! He's not Your Majesty! You're not a servant! That money was originally ours! Ours!"
A Hu walked aside dejectedly.
Fubo Tianwang said: "Lu Chengwen, consider yourself sensible. Hand over the money."
Lu Chengwen smiled: "Big Brother, do you know how much one hundred million is? Stacked up, the volume is bigger than this car! You want ten billion!"
"Give me a card!"
"The card isn't in my pocket either!"
"Where's the card?"
"At the company!"
"Then have someone fetch it, give it to me!"
"Ten billion!"
Lu Chengwen said: "Big Brother! I really have to call you Big Brother! I don't have people around me who can carry my ten billion funds around the streets, and whom I don't worry about running off with the money! I must personally go handle it with finance, have him prepare a card, transfer ten billion funds. Then give it to you, understand?"
Fubo Tianwang looked back at Dang Kou Tianwang: "Big Brother, is this matter so complicated?"
Dang Kou Tianwang nodded: "Our internal fund transfers also follow this process."
Fubo Tianwang said: "Okay! You go now, we'll wait at your house."
Dang Kou Tianwang felt Fubo Tianwang's brain also had problems.
"You can have his finance team come over and deliver the card. If we let him go, didn't we work for nothing?"
"Ah! Right!" Fubo Tianwang said angrily: "Lu Chengwen, you dare play me for a fool?"
Hua Xueying said disdainfully: "Even stupider than me."
Lu Chengwen said: "Okay! First problem solved."
Fubo Tianwang was about to collapse: "There are more problems?"
"Of course! This is ten billion, Big Brother!" Lu Chengwen said: "I need to know who to give this card to, right?"
"Give it to me! What damn nonsense are you talking?"
Lu Chengwen smiled: "Okay! Just give it to you!"
"Uh..." Dang Kou Tianwang said: "Giving it to me is also fine."
Fubo Tianwang turned his head to look at Dang Kou Tianwang: "Big Brother, doesn't it matter which of us gets it?"
Lu Chengwen laughed heartily: "How can it be the same? This card, whoever takes it back gets the credit. You, Fubo Tianwang, if you take back ten billion, think about it, what's this called? Atoning for mistakes with merit!"
"And you! Dang Kou Tianwang, if you take back ten billion! What's this called? Called turning the tide!"
"Whether it's atoning for mistakes or turning the tide, the one who goes back empty-handed will definitely have a not-so-good fate, right?"
Lu Chengwen said: "Atoning for mistakes, or turning the tide, you choose yourselves."
Fubo Tianwang looked at Dang Kou Tianwang: "Big Brother, let's not be fooled by this kid. He's deliberately trying to intensify the conflict between us, make us fight internally!"
Dang Kou Tianwang sneered coldly: "How could I fall for his trick? This level of sowing discord, I learned it when I was three!"
Fubo Tianwang smiled: "Lu Chengwen, heard that?"
Dang Kou Tianwang said: "Lu Chengwen, we choose turning the tide. Hurry up and have someone prepare the card."
Fubo Tianwang turned his head, looking at Dang Kou Tianwang.
Thought, you damn are really something!
Money given to you, didn't the five of us work for nothing? We lost five billion, you just bring back ten billion.
"Brother Dang Kou, our brothers are counting on this money to return to the organization, atone for mistakes with merit!"
Dang Kou Tianwang said: "If I can't turn the tide, I won't have a good outcome returning either!"
Fubo Tianwang said: "Brother Dang Kou! The card, let me hold it. After returning, I will explain to Junshi that we got it back together, is that okay?"
"If I hold it, I can also say we demanded it back together!"
"The trouble on our side is bigger. If we don't bring back money, this group of brothers has no way out. Big Brother, please be considerate, okay?"
"The trouble on my side isn't small either! I even pressed the Young Master into a fish tank at the market and beat him up!"
"Fish tank is bullshit, compared to us, yours is nothing! Since we arrived in Xuecheng, the Young Master's pants have constantly been bloody! How could he not hate us!?"
"Fish tank is bullshit? Fish tank is bullshit? I beat the Young Master until he called himself an idiot, can you imagine that scene?"
"We beat the Young Master like beating a third grandson, and repeatedly! You only hit him once, what's there to fuss about? Anyway, we can't go back to the Young Master's side, is there any point arguing about this?"
"Didn't you bring it up first? If Young Master getting beaten isn't the root of the problem, then the root of the problem is only this money! If I take it back, it's more stable than you! And I won't snatch your credit, what are you anxious about?"
"What am I anxious about!? We made mistakes repeatedly, messed up several times. If I don't bring back the money, don't personally hand it to Junshi, can I pass? What do you want me to do? What about this group of brothers?"
"Junshi called me, clearly told me to get the money back, you all heard it, right?"
"I was also there during the call, what I heard was 'you guys', must get the money back! 'You guys'! Know what 'you guys' means? Need me to explain it to you?"
"No, what do you mean?"
"What do you mean?"
"Relying on having more people?"
"Haha! We do have more people! So what?"
Dang Kou Tianwang's face turned angry: "Fubo, you better not piss me off, otherwise I won't be polite."
"Damn!" Fubo Tianwang said angrily: "You won't be polite? I've reached this point today, already have no retreat! Let me tell you, forget you being some Dang Kou Tianwang, even if you were Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li, this money must be held by me today!"
"Who the hell are you 'mama'-ing?" (Referring to aggressive taunts)
"I'm 'mama'-ing you!"
"Say it again!?"
"You dare point at me!?"
"I damn well point at you!"
"Damn it, I..."
"Stop!"
A Yin stood between the two, pushing them apart: "Calm down! Let Lu Chengwen get two cards, fifty billion each, how about that?"
The two paused for a moment.
"Uh..."
"Mm..."
Fubo Tianwang: "Big Brother, this should be okay?"
Dang Kou Tianwang still reluctantly nodded: "Fine, let's listen to brother A Yin."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Seeing you brothers united, I'm happier than anyone."
The two had just been arguing to the point of tearing faces.
A solution emerged, but they still looked at each other unhappily.
Lu Chengwen smiled: "Next, let's discuss the third problem."
