Prodigal System in the Flourishing City-Chapter 1353 - 1355: Begging to Live Is Courting Death

Chapter 1353: Chapter 1355: Begging to Live Is Courting Death

Shen Yu stood up immediately upon hearing the sound, respectfully waiting for the person’s arrival.

He noticed Lu Xiaobu remained still and even gave him a look to signal him to stand.

However, it was evidently ineffective.

He suddenly felt anxious, even breaking out in a cold sweat.

Oh well, he had just been reminded, all for nothing!

If a conflict arose with this person, he would definitely be implicated.

Honestly, in this moment, he somewhat regretted meddling in Lu Xiaobu’s affairs!

At this time, a man who didn’t appear very tall and seemed about the same age as Lu Xiaobu pushed the door and walked in.

Upon seeing this man, Shen Yu immediately covered his face with a smile: "Brother Li, long time no see! Let me introduce you, this is..."

Shen Yu was just about to continue speaking.

He suddenly saw this man standing in a daze as if he had crashed.

Then, the man pushed Shen Yu aside, took two steps forward, approaching Lu Xiaobu.

Shen Yu was immediately panicked.

No way, he remembered this man’s temper wasn’t this aggressive!

Could it be irredeemable?!

However, at that moment.

"Thud!"

Shen Yu was shocked, even terrified, seeing that the man actually knelt down directly?!

Yes! He hadn’t misspoken; you weren’t seeing things!

The man directly knelt down?!

No way!

Shen Yu felt his head buzzing as an ominous feeling spread through him!

What was going on?!

He knew that man; he was the only one in the Chinese community who dared to directly oppose that organization!

And now, without a word, he knelt down to this young man?!

Oh, correction, he spoke now.

"Young Master, I deserve to die!"

This was the man’s first sentence!

"Li Qiang, are you the one claiming to be my relative?" Lu Xiaobu faced the man before him with amusement.

Li Qiang, does this name still ring a bell?

The bootlicker he picked up in high school.

After going to university, this Li Qiang went abroad, and they lost touch.

Unexpectedly, this guy ended up in South Africa?

And became someone worthy of admiration?

"Yes! Young Master, I deserve to die!" Li Qiang lowered his head, looking submissive.

"Alright, stand up." Lu Xiaobu patted Li Qiang’s shoulder: "You’re one of mine, claiming kinship is no big deal, but I’m curious how you ended up in South Africa?"

Li Qiang responded with a bitter smile: "Young Master, I studied mining engineering back then and never planned to go abroad, just wanted to return to Shimen after graduating."

"But later, I followed my mentor on a business trip to South Africa."

"Unfortunately, we got robbed that very day. My phone, ID, passport, money, all gone!"

"With not a penny to my name, I wanted to make some money first and then reach out to someone."

"Unfamiliar with the place, our first choice was naturally Chinatown, but no one wanted someone who couldn’t do heavy work. Later I claimed to be your relative to get a foothold."

"As a result, the claim worked, and I made some money! However, trouble naturally followed; getting out became difficult!"

"In the end, I had no choice but to become the leader, albeit confusedly!"

Li Qiang spoke with a bitter smile.

Honestly, reaching this point felt surreal even to him!

It had a kind of ancient emperor feel, where at certain points, things weren’t up for avoidance.

"Alright, alright." Lu Xiaobu listened to this story more fantastic than fiction, smiling instantly.

His name wasn’t something just anyone could borrow; using it has benefits but also more troubles.

To avoid getting entangled, you have to strengthen yourself.

"Then why didn’t you contact someone back home?" Lu Xiaobu continued to ask.

"I... I didn’t dare." Li Qiang hung his head again: "You have so much going on, I feared contacting you would disrupt things."

"Young Master had offended many forces, even national ones."

"These forces are just looking for a reason to trouble you, and my shady situation here would only create issues."

"Never thought of opposing?" Lu Xiaobu chuckled, half-jokingly half-seriously: "You have men, guns, territory; without saying capturing me, couldn’t you at least stand as equals?"

"Young Master! Don’t scare me!" Li Qiang knelt again: "I’ve never had such thoughts! I swear to the heavens!"

Oppose? He had never considered...well, had the thought once but quickly killed it in the cradle.

Having men and guns, can it compare to a country?

Even Japan couldn’t deal with the Young Master, let alone him!

"Alright, just joking, no need to take it seriously." Lu Xiaobu let Li Qiang stand again: "You’re going to help me out this time."

"Young Master, don’t trouble yourself over me! I am your subordinate after all! Just order me! If you still don’t trust me, I’ll die right here!" Hearing this, Li Qiang drew a gun, turning it on himself.

Yet, Lu Xiaobu remained silent, merely watching Li Qiang calmly.

No intention to stop him.

Li Qiang’s hand started to tremble.

Did the Young Master really want me dead?!

By the side, Shen Yu was utterly terrified!

Crazy! What on earth is happening?!

Why is Li Qiang so afraid of this young man?!

Who on earth is this young man?!

With just a few words, Li Qiang is frightened enough to prove his loyalty through death?!

"Young Master, please take care of my parents!" Li Qiang gritted his teeth, stomping, pulling the trigger!

If the Young Master wanted him dead, he’d oblige!

This life was worth it!

"Click."

Trigger pulled!

"Bang!"

The bullet discharged!

"Pop!"

The bullet hit the wall nearby.

Li Qiang was unharmed.

Zhang Meng intervened, knocking Li Qiang’s hand at the last moment.

Lu Xiaobu stood over the collapsed Li Qiang, calmly speaking: "You made the right choice, I thought you forgot I don’t like being lied to."

Never thought of opposing?

Who are you kidding?

If it were you, with men, guns, and territory, would you still willingly submit to someone unseen for years?

And unable to reach home, fearing trouble?

Do you believe that?

And without even a few words, deciding for death to prove loyalty?!

If not guilty, would you do so?

It’s not just about living quietly here as a local emperor.

The shot was a test!

Seeking life is courting death!

Seeking death is finding life!
