Chapter 89: Surprise
Chapter 89: Surprise
At a corner of Quan City Station, a middle-aged man held a smartphone, but his gaze was not on the screen; instead, he was covertly observing Lu Wu from the corner of his eye.
If Lu Wu noticed this man, he would have recognized him at a glance, as he was one of the 89 people who had caused trouble in Fucheng previously. However, Lu Wu was unsure of his name.
This man was different from Wang Dashan.
Wang Dashan was diligent and always looking for opportunities, while this man was more of a freeloader, not as hardworking, which was why Lu Wu didn't pay much attention to him.
However, while Lu Wu didn't pay him much attention, the man was very interested in Lu Wu.
To be precise, he was interested in Lu Wu's Mini Skeleton.
This middle-aged man and the one who had caused trouble at the Professional Center before were accomplices.
They worked together, one openly drawing attention, while the other operated in the shadows, handling the spoils of their schemes.
This man was the one who had offered the bait that Zhao Kai Ming had taken.
They hadn't managed to take the item with them, not because they didn't want to, but because they couldn't!
After all, this was the Professional Center in Fucheng, and it wasn't easy to steal the bait from them.
They needed a well-thought-out plan and method to succeed. Their plan, in simple terms, was for the more visible partner to attract the attention of Zhao Kai Ming and his team, while the other, unseen, would deal with the Summon Beast without anyone noticing and retrieve the item they wanted.
Then, he hid the item on the Summon Beast using a special method, masking its presence with the beast's aura, successfully smuggling it out.
The Summon Beast he chose for this was the Mini Skeleton, partly because it was an Undead type, making it easier to conceal, and also because it was weak and less likely to be noticed.
In this regard, he was quite skilled and successful.
He had hidden the item so well that even Lu Wu, who had the system, couldn't sense anything on the Mini Skeleton when he examined it.
He had even managed to deceive the three old men, including Zhao Kai Ming.
Although Zhao Kai Ming eventually suspected something, it was only a guess, as he hadn't found any real clues.
To be able to achieve this level of concealment, this man could be considered the best at hiding things.
"The hardest part is over, and the rest will be easy. I just need to find an opportunity to bind this Mini Skeleton and refine it at high temperatures to retrieve the item."
Thinking about getting the item back, the usually unexpressive middle-aged man couldn't help but smile, but there was also a hint of reluctance in his expression: "Little Lu Teacher? What a pity!"
The initial Summon Beast would be burned to ashes, and the backlash Lu Wu would receive would be significant. With Lu Wu's current Mental Energy, it would likely take a year or more to recover.
Even if he did recover, it was uncertain if he would be the same, and there was no guarantee his mind would function as it used to.
Moreover, he didn't intend to give Lu Wu a chance to recover.
If he was going to do this, he would do it thoroughly!
"I've got this item in the bag!
The Mini Skeleton must die, and no one can save it!"
...
Meanwhile, Lu Wu was unaware that someone was secretly watching him from a hidden corner.
Lu Hai Kong, standing next to Lu Wu, gave him a strange look and whispered, pulling him aside: "You good-for-nothing, what have you been up to lately? Did you offend someone? Or did you cheat on someone's daughter?
Hmm, that's the most likely scenario.
You've got Doudou, and you're still not satisfied? You dare to be a scumbag? You're bringing shame to our Lu family, and we've never had a scumbag in our family!"
Lu Hai Kong believed that his son wasn't the type to cause trouble, and the most likely reason for this was that he had used his good looks to become a scumbag.
Lu Wu was startled by his father's sudden accusation, his mind buzzing with confusion. How did he suddenly become a scumbag?
His father, already in his old age, was becoming more and more forgetful.
"How could that be? If you don't trust me, then who do you trust? I'm your son, and I'm definitely as loyal as you are in this regard!"
What could Lu Wu do when his own father suspected him of being a scumbag? He could only quickly flatter him, but the more he tried to explain, the more his father became convinced of his guilt.
Lu Wu patted his father's shoulder, his voice heavy with emotion. "Son, don't think that being a scumbag and having women on both sides is a happy life. Being a scumbag also comes with its own pain."
"I have a friend who became a scumbag. After several decades, he still faces the danger of being chased down and killed with a machete. He often has to endure intense battles in the field of suffering, and his life is filled with unimaginable pain."
"So, you must never be a scumbag. You have to be loyal, understand?"
When his father spoke of the pain of being a scumbag, his expression became quite vivid, as if he could empathize with the experience.
Lu Wu was a bit skeptical.
Could his father be imagining things? But he didn't dare to say or ask.
In the One Six One Nine Book Bar One Look Wu One Correct Version!
"Rest assured, I will definitely learn from you!"
"Also, I really haven't been a scumbag. I've been busy lately and spent over half a month in Fucheng. I just got home yesterday!"
When Lu Wu mentioned learning from him, Lu Hai Kong's face turned slightly unnatural, but he was quickly drawn in by Lu Wu's explanation.
"What were you doing in Fucheng? And you stayed there for so long, did you really go to seduce someone's daughter?"
"No, I went to Fucheng to participate in an event organized by the Fucheng Summoner Breeder Professional Center."
Lu Wu had originally planned to share this news at home, but since Lu Hai Kong asked about it, he decided to tell him everything about Fucheng.
Ten minutes later.
After hearing Lu Wu's explanation, Lu Hai Kong was completely stunned.
"You said you participated in an event organized by the Fucheng Breeder Professional Center?"
"Yes!"
"You said you took on several dozen professional breeders as your disciples in Fucheng Professional Center?"
"Yes!"
"You said the leader of Fucheng Professional Center took notice of you and wants to guarantee your enrollment at Jiangnan University, and even offer you an A-Class Growth Support Benefit?"
"Yes!!!"
As Lu Hai Kong questioned him, Lu Wu's mind went blank. Despite having lived two lives, he couldn't help but feel proud in front of Lu Hai Kong.
It was a pride similar to that of a student showing their perfect score report card to their father.
Lu Hai Kong, on the other hand, was completely skeptical, his gaze filled with doubt as he looked at Lu Wu.
He suspected that Lu Wu was cheating!
In Lu Wu's eyes, however, this suspicion turned into joy, and he was so happy that he couldn't react.
Yes, it must be like this. Which father wouldn't want their son to succeed? At this moment, Lu Wu couldn't help but recall the scene from a few months ago when his father, drunk, held his hand and vowed to support him and build a better future for the family. His nose stung with emotion, and he reached out to hold Lu Hai Kong's hand. "Dad, I've grown up and become successful. You don't have to work so hard anymore. I'll take care of our family!"
As he spoke, Lu Wu was deeply moved by his own words.
Yes, he believed his father was also deeply touched, after all, Lu Hai Kong's grip on his hand was especially firm!
