Late at night, LA City was already subrged in a sea of dazzling neon lights; this prosperous international tropolis showed a unique beauty under the shimring surroundings, evoking myriad thoughts in those who gazed upon it.
Inside a luxury apartnt, Zhou Jiming sat in front of an exquisitely crafted coffee table. His complexion was frighteningly sullen, and one glance was enough to see his eyes filled with a venomous resentnt, calmly exuding a hint of nace.
Beside his hand rested a tumbler, half-filled with crimson liquid. Under the illumination, the liquid appeared vividly red, like fresh blood, revealing a trace of seductive allure.
"Damn Lu Yu!"
At that mont, Zhou Jiming cursed venomously, then grasped the glass in front of him, downing a hefty gulp of alcohol as if trying to vent his inner anger through this act.
Poof!
But no sooner had the drink hit his stomach than he felt a sudden stomach spasm, and the mouthful of alcohol he had just swallowed ca spurting out, resembling a spray of fresh blood—a striking sight!
"Bastard, bastard! Even a glass of wine is against !"
Spitting out the alcohol from his stomach, Zhou Jiming angrily flung the glass to the ground!
Crash!
With a crisp sound, the pretty tumbler shattered into pieces on the ground, and the remaining liquid splashed around, blossoming like an exotic flower.
"Young Master, your abdon has suffered a powerful blow; it's inadvisable to drink. Moreover, too much anger is harmful..."
Witnessing Zhou Jiming's frantic actions, the nearby Uncle Tong spoke with a calm deanor, his words steeped in somberness.
"Uncle Tong!"
Hearing Uncle Tong's words, Zhou Jiming responded coldly, "Even you are lecturing ? You weren't present; you didn't see Lu Yu's arrogant manner. As a Zhou Family scion, he actually forced to grovel and apologize to a woman!"
As Zhou Jiming spoke, his anger mounted, and he punched the wooden coffee table before him!
Bang!
The coffee table trembled violently under the blow, emitting a dull sound.
Recalling the events in the banquet hall earlier, Zhou Jiming felt utterly humiliated. The image of being kicked and sent flying in front of all the attendees, landing disgracefully, each ti he thought about it, his cheeks burned as if he had been slapped.
Especially at the end, after he humbly apologized to Leng Qingqiu, watching the influential figures gradually leave him alone at the banquet filled Zhou Jiming with an overwhelming sense of sha and rage.
As the host of the banquet, he was supposed to stand proudly in front of the crowd, delivering a speech and receiving applause from the influential figures.
But everything was ruined by Lu Yu!
If Lu Yu hadn't kicked him, hadn't forced him to apologize, none of this would have happened!
He had just arrived in LA City, intending to leverage this banquet to make a na for himself, for the influential figures to recognize him.
In this regard, he succeeded; the events of the night ensured that the influential figures recognized his na, albeit as a subject of ridicule!
From tonight onward, whenever his na was ntioned, people's first thought wouldn't be Zhou Jiming as the president of Dongdao Group.
Instead, it would be about his disgrace at his own banquet, being kicked by Lu Yu and forced to apologize!
This disgrace would beco a lifelong humiliation, and every ti he thought about it, Zhou Jiming felt utterly humiliated!
"Calm down, Young Master."
Looking at the enraged Zhou Jiming, Uncle Tong remained composed: "I believe this Lu Yu's identity isn't simple, and investigating him might uncover the cause of Zhou Xingyun's death, perhaps even more!"
"What?"
These words startled Zhou Jiming, who then exclaid: "Uncle Tong, are you serious?"
"Of course."
Uncle Tong nodded: "I've said that he's an expert, carrying a sense of bloodlust. Furthermore, he acts arrogantly and lawlessly, such a person is either a notorious hero or a vengeful avenger!"
"In this world, those who disregard rules have two characteristics: ambition and hatred!"
At this mont, Uncle Tong's eyes flashed with cold sharpness.
"Uncle Tong, are you saying Lu Yu is either an ambitious hero with hidden motives or a vengeful avenger?"
At this mont, Zhou Jiming asked Uncle Tong incredulously.
If Lu Yu truly matched Uncle Tong's description, then proper investigation was indeed warranted!
"Exactly."
Uncle Tong replied: "This Lu Yu, his domineering skills and disregard for rules suggest a troublemaker, yet he resides in LA City. This fact alone is intriguing, and when you ntioned the Lu Family, he reacted violently; I suspect he's most likely an avenger."
"Avenger, Lu Family."
Repeating Uncle Tong's words, Zhou Jiming shuddered and asked, "Are you suggesting he has ties with the Lu Family in LA City?"
Zhou Jiming's words were filled with excitent; if Lu Yu was connected to the Lu Family, eliminating Lu Yu would greatly benefit the Zhou Family!
"Hard to say!"
Uncle Tong replied, "To ascertain this, we need to verify his identity before drawing conclusions!"
"Verify his identity?"
Zhou Jiming was montarily stunned and asked Uncle Tong how he planned to verify Lu Yu's identity.
"It's simple."
Uncle Tong squinted at Zhou Jiming: "As I ntioned, if he has ties with the Lu Family, using Lu Family information to verify should suffice..."
Uncle Tong's eyes glead like those of an experienced hunter.
