Boss Lu: A reborn life is destined to be without regrets!-Chapter 311 - 234. Shield announces retirement

"Hello there, Brother Dafei, Luo Yongfei."

Upon hearing this, Luo Yongfei felt his blood rush to his head, freezing his thoughts in place, unable to move.

This person... knows me?

No, wait, that voice...

Damn!

Lu Jincheng had actually come looking for me!

How did he even find me?

Luo Yongfei’s brain crashed for a few seconds before he reacted, his eyes wide open, staring intently at the tall man leading the group, connecting him with the rival he pictured in his mind.

He opened his mouth, about to say something, but hesitated.

Lu Jincheng turned his head, and gave He Ying a look.

He Ying immediately understood and took out a pair of over-the-ear headphones from the backpack behind her, putting them on the woman tied in the corner of the bed and turning the music up to the maximum volume.

She also casually threw a bedsheet over the woman.

Now, the uninvolved couldn’t see or hear anything.

"Bro, you here for something?"

Luo Yongfei was a smart man, good at assessing situations.

Although he knew that the moment he handed over the photo to Guan Yongyi, it meant going against Lu Jincheng.

But he didn’t expect the retaliation to come this fast and furious.

His cheeks, which had just received a slap from each side, began to swell, his mind still racing, thinking of ways out of this mess.

"Not bad, Brother Dafei, you have a knack for live streaming."

Mr. Lu crossed his arms, looking down at Luo Yongfei with a superior gaze.

"Ropes, gag ball, tail, whip, you’ve got it all. But I’d say your fan count is still lacking."

The man took the live streaming phone from He Ying with a smile and fiddled around in the backend of Luo Yongfei’s account.

"Oh? There’s some unseen surprises here! Guess I’m lucky today, huh?"

"...Brother Lu, Brother Lu, let’s talk this out."

Luo Yongfei’s voice began to tremble.

After some thought, he started realizing the gravity of his situation.

If the other party could call out ’Brother Dafei,’ they must have seen his stream.

Although he didn’t know how they pinpointed his exact location, merely using the full video recorded after revealing his mask was already enough to ruin him.

Not to mention, they had his private phone now, filled with too many explosive first-person videos.

"So, what do you say, Brother Dafei? Didn’t think this day would come when you were filming secretly, huh?"

Lu Jincheng crouched down, a smile still across his face, and extended a finger, poking Luo Yongfei’s forehead.

"Brother Lu, I beg you... forgive the mistakes of this lowly one..."

Luo Yongfei instinctively chose to yield, squeezing out a smile on his swollen face.

"I admit my mistakes, I was blind to not recognize the great man before me, that day I just happened to pass by, got a hand itch, plus I truly have feelings for Guan Yongyi..."

Luo Yongfei kept making excuses, but the man clearly lacked the patience to listen.

He casually picked up a hotel slipper and pressed it hard against Luo Yongfei’s face, smothering his ongoing justifications.

"Stop, stop, stop."

"Cut the crap with me, and tell me straight how you plan to solve this."

"Brother Lu, I’m willing to pay for emotional damages, just name your price..."

Smack!

Unlike the crisp sound of a slap, the slipper, turned sideways, struck hard across Luo Yongfei’s right cheek, producing a dull thud.

"Think it over, is this about money between us?"

"You’ve been creating trouble between my two girlfriends, ruining the peace of my family. Just looking at you annoys me now, how do you plan to settle this?"

Lu Jincheng sneered with a frown.

"I’ll go apologize to Guan Yongyi and Zhou Sinin, publicly."

"Apologies solve nothing; what do we need public security for? Seems like you’re not willing to solve the problem. Just prepare yourself mentally, and thanks for the gift. The edited video should be quite a spectacle, we’ll let the whole country see your face."

"No! Brother Lu, no, Mr. Lu, I beg you, spare me!"

Luo Yongfei was completely vulnerable, dropping to his knees.

He was genuinely afraid of Lu Jincheng the madman now.

If these videos got out, not only would he face public humiliation from all sides immediately, but even his father, who worked in a sensitive department, would be implicated.

It wouldn’t be an overstatement to say that the internet is lethal; the always cautious Luo Yongfei was well aware of that.

Even rich kids with powerful backgrounds couldn’t withstand the sharp blade of public opinion, let alone when caught red-handed, any struggle was futile.

Just revealing that "91 Brother Dafei is him" was enough to set the internet on fire.

And with the rest of the content in Lu Jincheng’s hands, it was like a ticking nuclear bomb, making any thoughts of retaliation impossible.

"I’ll get lost, Brother Lu, you find me annoying, I’ll stay away from you!"

Luo Yongfei hung his head, appearing deflated, his gaze much dimmer.

"How exactly will you get lost?"

Lu Jincheng said meaningfully.

"I... I’ll drop out of school, I promise I’ll disappear from your life forever!"

Watching the critical content from his private phone being transferred to the newcomer’s device, Luo Yongfei was heartbroken.

He had no choice but to accept his fate.

"See, this is all voluntary, we’ve got it recorded, no one is forcing you, right?"

Lu Jincheng raised an eyebrow.

"Brother Lu, giving me this opportunity is like giving me a new life; you can rest assured, I won’t betray you."

Luo Yongfei closed his eyes with a look of despair.

...

"Mr. Lu, why did you have him drop out on his own, and just end it there?"

On the way back to the office, Luo Lang had just gotten into the car and couldn’t help voicing his doubts.

"Yeah... I thought you would directly post it online. Isn’t his dad a leader? Just finish it in one fell swoop."

Luo Shaoqin, sitting in the back seat, also looked curious.

"Are you two thinking too simply?"

He Ying, driving steadily, took the initiative to take over the conversation without needing the boss to explain.

Without realizing it, her vision and scope had long surpassed those of a typical graduate.

"Do you know what the most important strategic meaning of possessing nuclear weapons is? It is deterrence, not use."

"Posting the video is not difficult, but can you be sure of handling it well? Are you prepared for a full-scale retaliation from his family?"

"First, our way of obtaining evidence was not completely legal, and Mr. Lu made Luo Yongfei bleed from the mouth; what about that?"

"Secondly, even if the video is edited and released, what if it gets turned into a case of causing trouble with its uncontrollable impact and is suspected of spreading gray propaganda?"

"Getting him to drop out voluntarily was already the best outcome."

"You know, they understand the law; in the end, they don’t even need to go in, they just face social death. If you really push them to desperation and they decide to covertly bite back, then what?"

...

Luo Lang and Luo Shaoqin exchanged glances and silently calmed down.

They indeed hadn’t considered these realistic issues.

Young people value righteousness and are quick to retaliate, but often such individuals are the ones who suffer terribly in the real world.

Truly smart and mature individuals, despite having all the advantages, still will not act rashly and always plan meticulously before acting.

"The two of you should really learn from your senior."

Mr. Lu adjusted his seat to a comfortable reclining position, stretched his legs, and said with a smile.

...

On the other side.

Since the live stream ended, Zhou Sinin and her close friend had been anxiously sitting in the conference room, keenly following the developments.

She sent several private messages to Lu Jincheng, but he was obviously too busy to reply.

Only a while later did she and Guan Yongyi receive a new message in the Ran Dong WeChat group.

[We’re on our way back. Luo Yongfei has voluntarily dropped out, so you don’t have to worry about harassment anymore.]

In the last line of the message, he made sure to mention Guan Yongyi specially.

[Thank you~]

[Smiley_face.jpg]

Guan Yongyi, who was busy replying to a message, didn’t notice her friend stand up and come over with a beaming smile.

"Guan Guan! Luo Yongfei actually agreed to drop out!"

"If he didn’t drop out, what else could he do... wait until Lu Jincheng posts the video online? That’d be tricky to handle."

The short-haired girl pursed her lips, her long lashes flickering as she turned to look at her clearly excited friend.

"Weird, why are you so happy?"

"I’m not happy, it’s just that guy acted so quickly. It’s almost like he can’t wait overnight for revenge; it hasn’t been long since Luo Yongfei crossed him..."

Zhou Sinin lightly pursed her lips, her eyes creased with a smile, as she hooked her arm around Guan Yongyi’s shoulder.

"Just a few days ago, we were still acting, and now it’s good that our shield can retire!"

...

Guan Yongyi paused at her words, falling into subconscious reflection.

Right.

That’s really the case.

With Luo Yongfei dropping out, doesn’t that mean...

The pretense had completely lost its stage.

The clumsy act hidden under their pretense of passionate love between her and Lu Jincheng had ended, and they both shed their roles.

In school, she could no longer publicly display affectionate hugs and kisses with Lu Jincheng, filled with tender love.

It’s time to wake up.

What was supposed to be a secret relationship, in reality, wasn’t much different from being public with Luo Yongfei’s help.

But now, with Luo Yongfei out of the picture, the situation suddenly changed.

"Hmm... he has really been a great help during this time."

Guan Yongyi turned her head, giving her best friend a beaming smile, her expression seemingly celebrating her liberation.

"I do feel a bit guilty."

"Why are you suddenly so formal? I don’t think he minded at all!"

Zhou Sinin giggled, her sweet voice very pleasant to hear.

"I’ll treat him... I’ll treat you guys to a big meal."

Guan Yongyi grabbed her friend’s hand gently.

"We should keep issues separate. Baby, I obviously don’t need to be formal with you, but with him, it’s different."

"I want French food!"

"Alright, alright, whatever you want to eat is fine, I’ll go along with this little request."

Guan Yongyi laughed and stood up, walking to the window.

She opened the curtain, looking down at the evening view of Nanhu Industrial Park, and quietly sighed.
