After he hung up the phone, Lu Zheng shook his head helplessly.

He just gave Robert plenty of opportunities.

If he apologizes over the phone, only he, Robert, and a few other people present will know about it.

If he doesn't come over, these people wouldn't dare to gossip or anything. But if he shows up here and apologizes later, the news will definitely leak out.

He has truly lost all face.

Lu Zheng turned to look at Meng Feng, who had a sullen face, and said with a smile, "He's tougher than you, but I don't know how long he can hold out."

Meng Feng did not answer; he didn't want to answer now.

Lu Zheng refused to let him go, and this kid was far more capable than he had imagined. This made Meng Feng feel as if a huge rock was pressing on his heart, making it difficult for him to even breathe.

Considering all these factors, Meng Feng simply kept a dark expression on his face.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "You have a lot of resentment in your heart. Do you think I've cut off all your escape routes?"

Meng Feng remained silent.

Lu Zheng ignored him and turned to Ming Xiang, saying, "Hey, let Mr. Albolds come over. We can call Robert now."

Ming Xiang nodded, then got up and walked towards Albodes.

Upon hearing Lu Zheng's words, Auberdes came over, and his attitude towards Lu Zheng was extremely respectful.

He was all smiles the whole time, showing not a trace of the arrogance one would expect from a mayor.

This made everyone present feel a chill run down their spines.

The hotel manager was even more startled.

Who exactly is Lu Zheng? For the mayor of Aoya Ancient City to treat him with such courtesy is absolutely unprecedented.

But despite their thoughts, none of them dared to say anything.

They have no right to ask any more questions.

Soon, Albolds got through to Robert on the phone.

Robert knew the mayor, and although he was a powerful businessman, he was still too weak compared to the mayor of Oya Ancient City; he could easily crush him.

Robert naturally dared not challenge Albolds.

Before that call came, he was still mocking Lu Zheng with Jiang Li'er.

But upon seeing this phone number, her expression involuntarily tightened.

He then waved to Jiang Li'er, signaling her not to speak.

Jiang Li'er nodded in agreement and shut her mouth.

Robert cleared his throat and answered the phone.

“Mr. Albolds…”

Before Robert could finish speaking, Albold interrupted him, saying, "Mr. Robert, I order you to come to the Oga Hotel immediately. You must sincerely apologize to Mr. Lu. If Mr. Lu forgives you, I will forgive you."

Robert's smile froze instantly, and then he stood up abruptly as if he had been electrocuted.

Jiang Li'er heard it clearly as well, and her expression became much stranger.

She gasped, "What?"

On the phone, Albolds said in a cold voice, "Of course, you can choose not to come, but you will be fully responsible for any consequences that result."

Although Robert's expression was stiff, he clearly knew that he was just a businessman and could not compare to someone like Albolds.

Even though he was extremely unwilling, and even hated Albolds in his heart, he didn't have the courage to refuse.

He reluctantly agreed, and only after the call was disconnected did he turn his gaze to Jiang Li'er: "You're coming with me."

Jiang Li'er was overjoyed when Robert told her that Lu Zheng was definitely having a tough time right now.

She just wanted to see Lu Zheng looking like he was crying out to heaven and earth in vain.

That's why she was so arrogant, so smugly waiting to see Lu Zheng make a fool of himself, when this phone call came in.

It didn't even last ten minutes for her to be happy...

How could her mouth not twitch at this moment?

Now Robert wants her to come along.

What is she going there for? To embarrass herself?

Jiang Li'er couldn't help but want to refuse, but before she could even utter a word, Robert seemed to have already guessed what she was going to say and said, "You have to go."

Jiang Li'er was about to say something, but Robert's words immediately silenced her.

She saw a coldness in Robert's eyes.

Refusal would mean she would pay a considerable price, and Robert is currently very angry.

Submission is her only way out now.

Although she was equally reluctant, she could only manage a forced smile and say, "Mr. Robert, please don't be angry. I didn't say I wouldn't go."

In front of Albolds, Robert didn't even dare to dawdle.

Just half an hour later, Albolds had already brought Jiang Lier to the front of the Oja Hotel.

Lu Zheng and his group did not enter the hotel.

In fact, they could have gone upstairs to rest by now, but their luggage and other belongings were still left at the door.

When Robert and Jiang Lier arrived, they saw Aulbodes with a sullen face, looking up at the time.

Clearly, Albolds is very angry right now.

Jiang Li'er's heart was also trembling.

Although she didn't know the mayor, looking at the crowd gathered around her and seeing Meng Feng, the former president of Datian Group, standing in front of him like a grandson, not daring to utter a word, she had already guessed everything.

Robert turned to look at her and said, "Get out of the car. But Miss Jiang Li'er, be a little softer in your attitude later. It's not wrong to bow your head occasionally."

Although Jiang Li'er was furious and terrified, she had no intention of admitting her mistake to Lu Zheng, not even if it was just an act.

Now that Zhou Mobei is in jail, all she feels for Lu Zheng is endless hatred.

Ask her to apologize? And then force a smile? She really didn't know what to do.

Robert saw through her thoughts at a glance and said with a dark face, "If you don't apologize, we are like ants in front of Albodes, and the same goes for our ocean shipping company. I know that your Jiang Group is going to throw caution to the wind, but I can't."

Responding to Robert's cold words, Jiang Li'er quickly said, "Mr. Robert, you misunderstand, you misunderstand. I'm not, I'm just calming myself down."

"That would be best."

Robert yanked open the car door and got out.

After he got out of the car, Jiang Li'er's expression grew increasingly somber.

Is this how you threaten her? What do you take Jiang Lier for?

Is Jiang Li'er someone who can be easily fooled?

It doesn't matter!

We'll settle this score later.

She'll swallow this anger for now, but she'll make everyone who's offended her pay the price!
