Seeing his wife frantically trying to save face, even the most foolish Lu Zhengming understood what had happened.

It's certain that Lu Baofei failed to persuade Lu Yi to attend the banquet, and feeling she couldn't explain herself, she simply hid at the company and resolutely refused to show her face again.

He stole a glance at Lin Hongtao.

Upon discovering that the old man was pursing his lips, but the smile at the corners of his eyebrows was already impossible to hide, he immediately felt ashamed.

He roared at Lu Baozhi in a deep voice, "Why aren't you calling the waiter over to order?"

Qin Fengying, who was trying to persuade Lin Xiaoya, was startled. She realized that her husband was really angry, so she turned her head and looked at him anxiously.

Just then, his hand suddenly went empty.

Lin Hongtao pulled Lin Xiaoya away, and said with a half-smile, "It seems that President Lu and Mrs. Lu have something to do, so they will skip this meal!"

"By the way, Xiaoya and I have discussed it. Whether it was the money borrowed by Lu Yi or Lu Han, it's considered that it's been repaid. The Lin family won't mention this matter again!"

Under the shocked gazes of Lu Zhengming and Qin Fengying, he wore an expression of watching the show, and pulled Lin Xiaoya up, saying, "Come on, Daddy will take you to eat steak!"

Lin Xiaoya nodded proudly, "Okay, Dad!"

That cry of "Dad" was like a heavy punch, making Lu Zhengming's cheek sting.

A woman who is despised and ridiculed by thousands as an "illegitimate child" can openly call her father in any situation.

But Lu Yi, it seems, was forbidden from using any kind of address from the moment he returned to the Lu family.

Not to mention attending family dinners or banquets with outsiders present!

Lu Zhengming felt as if something had stabbed him in the heart. With a dark face, he picked up the menu and pointed randomly at a few items.

"If others aren't eating, we can't let ourselves go hungry... Hey, Baozhi, go call the waiter. It's just the three of us today!"

The once bustling Lu family home became desolate and bleak in just two months, a sight that defies belief.

Qin Fengying shed silent tears.

Lu Baozhi stood there, unsure whether to leave or stay.

If she were to leave like this, leaving only her parents, she, as the eldest child who had to be involved in everything at home, couldn't bear it.

But if she actually sat down, she worried that she wouldn't be able to eat a single bite.

The three of them just sat there awkwardly, not moving an inch...

...

After all that trouble, most of the students who went to register at the school have already received their materials and books and left.

Lu Yi's arrival did not attract much attention.

Only occasionally would a few people cover their mouths and chuckle at Lu Yi, then whisper among themselves.

Lu Yi quickly walked to the classroom and found it empty.

In a corner seat, a student whose gender was indistinguishable lay back, his face covered by a hat.

Lu Yi went straight to his seat, picked up the book on the table, and tucked it under his arm.

As soon as I arrived at the door, I was stopped in my way.

He looked the person up and down and suddenly realized that this was the one sitting in the corner.

"Who are you?"

Lu Yi didn't remember having any androgynous members in his class. He frowned, a question arising in his mind.

She paused in her chewing of gum.

Her slender fingers gripped the brim of her hat, revealing two rows of pearly white teeth to Lu Yi. "I... am a transfer student, I just arrived, my name is..."

Halfway through her sentence, her smile suddenly froze, and she clenched her fist and lunged straight at Lu Yi's face.

Lu Yi only felt a gust of wind beside his ears, and before he could react to what was happening, the tables and chairs behind him were already crashing together with a clatter.

The chewing gum student threw him towards the doorway, his legs, longer than Wu Dalang's, soared high into the air, and his calves sprang out with force.

"Hmph! I've been waiting for you for a long time!"

Her voice was androgynous; if it weren't for the masculine features peeking out from under her long t-shirt, Lu Yi would have definitely thought she was a boy.

Especially when she faced three men, the domineering and fearless demeanor she exuded was so different from the girls around her!

But he didn't have time to think about it.

At that very moment, several figures were slowly approaching from both the front and back of the corridor.

The girl with chewing gum was unarmed and was entangled by three thugs, leaving her no time to fight back.

Glancing at Lu Yi's situation, she was momentarily distracted and was kicked in the leg. She cried out in pain and knelt on one knee, crossing her arms to take the blow off the stick!

"You take care of yourselves, I can manage on my own!"

Lu Yi instantly realized that this was probably the "bodyguard" that Huo Jingxi had arranged for him.

However, this test was a bit too cruel.

The three men were vicious and targeted the girl with chewing gum, almost every move of theirs was fatal.

Even though Lu Yi had received training from Du Guanglong, he couldn't guarantee he would be completely unharmed.

However, he has more opponents on his side.

In total, there are six.

In terms of numbers, he is at a significant disadvantage.

"Second brother thinks too highly of me, doesn't he?"

Lu Yi smiled, placed the books and documents under his arm on the windowsill, slowly rolled up his sleeves, and secretly observed their walking posture.

Seeing this, everyone stopped.

The man by the window slammed it shut, raised his chin, and said, "Go! The boss said to beat them to death, but don't actually kill them!"

Hearing the hidden meaning in those words, Lu Yi's alarm bells went off.

Wasn't this arranged by Huo Jingxi?

Before he could prepare, the moment the man finished speaking, a barrage of punches and kicks came flying from all around him.

Perhaps worried that Lu Yi would escape through the window, the person who gave the order scurried along the wall like a gecko to Lu Yi's side.

Lu Yi had a plan in mind.

Those three skinny guys in the classroom were definitely trained fighters.

Although these six men looked burly and had bulging muscles in their arms, apart from the one who quickly closed in, the others didn't have any real skills.

To determine if they are trained martial artists, look at their legs first.

The few steps they took as they approached had already given them away!

Lu Yi suddenly raised his arm to block the man's attack, and then had a chance to observe the battle situation on the other side of the girl with chewing gum.

Clearly, hearing Lu Yi's words of "comfort" made her much more focused. The three of them split up to deal with her in the middle, but they couldn't hit her vital points again!

The dark-faced man who came along the wall seemed not to have expected Lu Yi's amazing strength. In a moment of hesitation, he took three punches from Lu Yi.

The three punches went from top to bottom: the space between the eyebrows, the bridge of the nose, and the throat...

These are all key factors that can quickly render someone incapable of fighting!

The other five people were stunned when they saw this.

He stared blankly at Lu Yi, his expression a copy-paste of something else, as if he were looking at an "alien from outer space"!

"Damn it, get him!"

The man cried out in pain, clutching his bleeding nose, his face contorted in agony. He staggered back several steps before regaining his senses.

Lu Yi wanted their "shock"!

Only in this way can he gain enough time to create an opportunity for a swift victory.

In the blink of an eye, all five burly men collapsed to the ground, writhing and howling in pain while clutching their legs…
