Chapter 49: The Technique of Changing Faces

The car door was pulled open again, and Lu Chengwen raised his head, looking at the sulking Xu Xuejiao. "What's wrong again?"

Xu Xuejiao yelled, "This is my car!"

...

Lu Chengwen wandered on the streets of Snow City, feeling lost.

He didn't call Zhao Gang to pick him up; he needed to calm down.

It had been a long time since he smoked. Facing a desperate situation now, he didn't care anymore. He bought a pack of cigarettes and wandered while smoking.

Suddenly, a car stopped beside him. Hua Xuening pushed the door open and got out. Before Lu Chengwen could say a word, she knocked him unconscious and dragged him into the car.

When Lu Chengwen woke up, he found himself tied to a chair.

A spotlight shone on him, making it hard for him to open his eyes. He could barely make out the silhouette of a man.

"Lu Chengwen, you are troublesome."

"Long Autian?" Lu Chengwen felt despair in his heart instantly.

With himself in Long Autian's hands, what would his fate be?

"I had no choice!" Lu Chengwen hurriedly explained, "He was about to harass Xu Xuejiao when you weren't there. I couldn't beat him, and I couldn't let him bully Xu Xuejiao, right? Xu Xuejiao is a member of your reserved harem group, isn't she? So, I was protecting Xu Xuejiao for you!"

"Then why did you impersonate me in the café? Letting him invest fifty billion in your project?"

"Big brother! In that situation, could I tell the truth? I slapped him four times to protect Xu Xuejiao. If he knew I lied to him, he would kill me! Would you speak up for me?"

"Haha, absolutely not."

"So, I had no choice!"

"Well, then don't blame me. I have no choice now either."

"What are you going to do?"

"Don't worry, I don't want your life."

Long Autian said with annoyance, "I didn't expect that, for a mere fifty billion, I would have to use the Face Changing Technique."

"What... what are you saying?"

Long Autian pushed aside the spotlight and patted Lu Chengwen's cheek.

"To get that fifty billion quickly, I don't have time to waste with you. I'll borrow your face first, let that fool transfer the money. After that..."

Long Autian gritted his teeth, "I've swallowed three major families. It's your turn, the Lu family!"

"Hey hey hey, what are you going to do? Stop it! Let's talk, I'll give you fifty billion, I'll give you..."

Hua Xuening walked up and said, "Shut up, we don't want your life, just a temporary switch of faces with the young master. It doesn't hurt, it doesn't itch, but within twelve hours, your identity will no longer be yours."

"Damn it! You guys are crazy! How come you know all these weird techniques?? This isn't fair! Besides being a rich villain, I have nothing! You guys have one expert after another, one magic tool after another. Do you feel proud of yourselves? I look down on you! I look down on you!"

Long Autian and the others completely ignored Lu Chengwen.

"Young Master, with your current injuries, you may not be able to sustain the Face Changing Technique for long, and once you use it, your strength may decline again soon."

"It doesn't matter." Long Autian had made up his mind, "Strength is not of much use now. The martial world isn't just about fighting; it's about social skills. If we can't handle this matter, there's no point in talking about uniting the four major families of Snow City. Besides, it will only take a dozen hours at most, no problem."

...

Meanwhile.

Tietuo Wang stood in front of a French window in a hotel, bowing his head. "Yes, yes, I was wrong, I... I'm sorry, Military Advisor, I didn't expect..."

The Military Advisor was furious, "You didn't expect? Even your own master can admit his mistakes, can you be more off-base?"

"But, when I came, I had no name or number, not even a secret code..."

"What kind of person is the young master Do you want him to have any connection with our organization? Do you want him to have a secret code like you do?"

"No, no, no, that's not what I meant. The key is that Lu Chengwen is too bad, he really... is charming and cunning, surrounded by beautiful women, and extremely pretentious!"

"I don't give a damn about what's going on in your pig brain! With things turning out like this, you're responsible for everything!"

"Yes, yes, I'll go find the young master and admit my mistake to him."

"If you mess up this matter, you'll come back to see me with your head!"

After the Military Advisor finished speaking, he angrily hung up the phone.

Tietuo Wang closed his eyes and looked up.

"Shameful."

"Boss Tie, could it be... that Long Autian is the young master?"

Tietuo Wang clenched the phone so hard that it broke.

He gritted his teeth, "Lu Chengwen! This bastard! How dare he treat me like a monkey!"

Tietuo Wang turned around, grabbed his subordinate by the collar, and gnashed his teeth, "He even slapped me four times in public and called me a fool! It's simply... too much!"

The man said, "Boss Tie, calm down. Let's go find him and kill him."

Tietuo Wang pushed him away, "Of course, we'll kill him."

He sighed, "But not now. We can't kill him now, we can't disrupt the young master's layout in Snow City. But I can't kill him, and I can't watch him roam freely. I've been in the martial arts world for so many years, and I've never been humiliated like this! Throughout my career as an assassin, I've never suffered such humiliation!"

"We'll go now, break his legs, and let him walk with a wheelchair in the future!"

"No! I'll go myself! If I don't personally deal with that surnamed Lu, I won't die in peace!"

...

After a long time, Lu Chengwen woke up.

There was no discomfort, but being in a dark and unknown place still made him feel creepy.

What to do? He had to figure out a way, he couldn't just wait here to die.

Right! Flash Card!

Lu Chengwen summoned the operating system and chose the Flash Card in his mind.

Flash for me!

Lu Chengwen flashed downwards because although flashing out could free him from the bindings, he would still be trapped in this room. It seemed like this was some building, flashing down should get him to another floor, where he could escape.

With a bang, Lu Chengwen fell directly into a large bathtub.

A woman in the bathtub immediately screamed and jumped up.

Lu Chengwen fell in and floated to the surface, only to see... Leng Qingqiu.

Cold Qingqiu grabbed a towel at this moment, covering her chest and retreating to the corner in panic, saying, "Long Autian! What are you going to do!?"

Lu Chengwen quickly said, "It's me, I'm Lu Chengwen!"

"What nonsense are you talking about!? Get out quickly, or I'll call someone!"

"Don't! Don't shout, I am Lu Chengwen, Long Autian changed my face!"

Cold Qingqiu's pair of long legs were tightly closed together, just emerged from the water, a pair of extraordinarily beautiful long legs that dazzled the eyes.

The water flowed continuously down the thighs, even more tempting.

"You... Qingqiu, you should cover yourself down there first."

"Ah!" Leng Qingqiu screamed and hurriedly used the towel to cover herself down there.

Now Leng Qingqiu was both frightened and flustered, taking care of the downstairs but neglecting the upstairs. Her ample chest could only be tightly pressed down with her small arms, making the round balls deform.

Lu Chengwen quickly grabbed the towel beside him and handed it to her.

Leng Qingqiu reached out to take it, suddenly realizing that she was exposed, and hurriedly covered herself again. "You... get out!"

Lu Chengwen didn't care about that much, walked to her side, and covered her body with the towel. 

"Qingqiu, listen to me, I am Lu Chengwen! I confessed to you at a Mid-Autumn Festival party three years ago. You splashed red wine on my face and told me to get lost; your birthday is at the beginning of month x, besides economics, you also like music and art. If it weren't for the necessity of doing business, you would be a painter. Your proficient instruments are piano and cello. You like Sichuan cuisine, but it's too spicy for you to eat more. Your former betrayer is called Wan Xiaoling. And for three years, I have consistently sent you lilies because they are your favorite flowers... I am Lu Chengwen."

Leng Qingqiu was stunned.

These were things Long Autian would not know, only the ultimate lapdog would spout such things.

"Are you... really... Lu Chengwen?"

Leng Qingqiu boldly tried, "Alright, if you're Lu Chengwen, say Uncle Lu's phone number. There's a landline here, dial it immediately and ask him to arrange our engagement as soon as possible."

Lu Chengwen didn't know what Leng Qingqiu was up to, his brows twisted into twists.

"Engagement? We've already said we're not suitable! If I call him like this, won't he beat me to death with a broomstick later?"

"Think of something silently in your heart."

"What?"

"I don't care, just silently think of something in your heart right away."

"This..."

"Hurry up! Or I'll call the police!"

Lu Chengwen had no choice but to think:

[You stubborn girl, I'm thinking! I'll tear off your towel and spank you on the massage bed!]

Leng Qingqiu heard the familiar inner thoughts and finally dared to confirm that this person should be Lu Chengwen.

"Is it you?"

"Effective!?"

"How... did you... turn into Long Autian's appearance?"

"It's hard to say in a word. This grandson knows some kind of face-changing technique, and he wants to use my face to deceive Iron Lump Wang into transferring money to him quickly."

"There's such a spell!? Who are you guys anyway?!"

"I don't know anything! Only he knows these weird and mysterious skills. Hurry up and get dressed, I won't look at you."

Lu Chengwen turned around as he spoke.

Leng Qingqiu quickly put on her bathrobe, occasionally glancing at Lu Chengwen.

[Actually, it's okay to take a few glances, right? Why am I so polite?]

[In this situation, if I don't bring it up myself, she should be able to accept it.]

[Damn it, why am I still thinking about nonsense at this time! Let's think about how to save my life first!]

Leng Qingqiu smiled, confirming Lu Chengwen's identity.

At this time, someone knocked on the door outside.

Han Yue said, "President Leng, Mr. Lu is here, saying he wants to discuss investment projects with you."

"I got it."

"President Leng, are you okay?"

"I'm fine."

"Okay?"

Leng Qingqiu rolled her eyes, "Really fine!"

"But I just heard your voice..."

Lu Chengwen got angry, "She said she's fine!"

Han Yue was stunned. Why was there a man's voice inside!?

Leng Qingqiu slapped Lu Chengwen and walked over to open the door with a crack. "Han Yue."

"President Leng, you..."

"Ah, it's nothing."

Seeing that Leng Qingqiu was fine, Han Yue felt relieved.

Boss... is also human, hiding away treasures in a golden house... understandable.

Leng Qingqiu saw through her subordinates' thoughts and smiled, "It's Lu Chengwen."

"Oh!" Han Yue breathed a sigh of relief and patted her chest. She would worry if it were someone else, but if it were Lu Chengwen, there was no need to worry at all.

Firstly, the engagement between the two of them was no longer a secret.

Secondly, who in the world would harm President Leng, except Lu Chengwen, who would rather lose his head than let President Leng suffer?

Leng Qingqiu also felt that this matter was embarrassing, blushing, "I don't know how he sneaked into my room. You stabilize the situation outside, I'll come out soon."

Han Yue smiled, "I understand, it's okay, I'll go out first, not in a hurry, you guys... can continue."

Without waiting for Leng Qingqiu to explain, Han Yue had already left.

Leng Qingqiu turned her head and glared at Lu Chengwen.

Han Yue thought it was getting interesting. This pair of enemies had been making trouble for three whole years. It could be said that it was widely known and made everyone embarrassed, including both families because of their affairs.

But... after tossing for so long, it seemed that they finally ended up together.

Han Yue breathed a sigh of relief and walked out to the conference room, suddenly freezing in place, dumbfounded.

Right!

There's still another Lu Chengwen outside!

Who's inside then!?

Is President Leng having an affair inside!?
