Supreme Heir Son-in-law

Chapter 16: Chapter 16: Dark Tides Surge

"If you dare to take another step, I’ll make sure you can’t handle the consequences. The Lu Family isn’t someone to mess with." Lu Chi looked at Xu Ke, who was approaching step by step, and used both hands and feet to retreat backward, only realizing what he had done when he hit the cold wall.

How could he do something so humiliating in front of Xu Ke, a wimp? This was nothing short of disgrace, and Lu Chi regretted it deeply.

"The Lu Family? If you hadn’t mentioned it, I might have almost forgotten about them. Thanks to your blessing, there will no longer be a Lu Family in Luo City in the future," Xu Ke said in a calm tone.

"Who do you think you are, thinking you can erase the Lu Family from Luo City with just a word? Your brain must have been jammed in a door." Lu Chi leaned against the wall to stand up, speaking with a pale face.

"Then you can lie on your hospital bed and see if what I said will come true." Once Xu Ke finished speaking, a spinning kick hit Lu Chi’s head, knocking him to the ground.

Lu Chi felt terrible now; his ears were ringing, and he couldn’t hear a thing. His vision was hazy, and people appeared with double images. He struggled to stand up but lost his balance and fell back to the ground.

Watching Lu Chi wriggling on the floor like a grub, Xu Ke felt a sense of disgust. His gaze swept over Lu Chi’s hands on the ground, reminding him of what he saw earlier. Just as he planned to leave, he turned around.

"Aaaah!"

Although the soundproofing of Xuan Zhi Wei was quite good, it wasn’t perfect. At that moment, a waiter passing by Lu Chi’s private room was startled by the sound coming from inside, nearly dropping the guest’s Peach Blossom Drunk on the floor. Luckily, the waiter steadied it at the last moment, avoiding a scolding from the manager.

The commotion Lu Chi caused was too big. While the waiter debated whether to enter, the door opened from inside. A man with a striking presence in casual clothes emerged, carrying a woman whose face was obscured. The waiter, initially by the door, immediately stepped aside to make way for Xu Ke and abandoned the idea of entering the room, instead turning to the next room.

Xu Ke crushed each of Lu Chi’s fingers underfoot before carrying Lin Mengyao out from inside. Logically, having rescued Lin Mengyao should have made him happy, but his heart was not at ease. He didn’t know what Lu Chi had given Lin Mengyao, rendering her unresponsive even to Lu Chi’s mocking voice.
