Chapter 697 The Chairman

With a plop, Fang Gang fell to the ground. He lay there unmoving and was gradually frozen solid.

The underlings behind him saw the situation and quickly scattered in all directions.

“You guys are crazy!”

!!

“You’re done for. You won’t be able to walk out of Changlin City!”

“You’re all looking for death!”

The underlings shouted as they ran.

Lu Yu turned back to look at Han Xuefei and said, “You acted too quickly. I still wanted to ask him something.”

“He spoke rudely to you, and I can’t stand it anymore.” Han Xuefei replied unhappily.

“In the future, just cooperate with me. I’ll tell you to do it, and you can do whatever you like.”

“I’ll try my best.” Han Xuefei nodded silently.

Lu Yu looked at the receptionist and said, “Get us a room now,”

The receptionist held her head with both hands and squatted on the ground, her whole body trembling.

“You guys, please leave. We can’t entertain you here. You won’t be alive soon for killing Fang Gang!”

“Get me a room, or die together!”

The lady at the front desk stood up, trembling, and looked at Lu Yu.

“Don’t… please don’t kill me. ”

“What’s this guy’s deal? Why are you so afraid of him?” Xu Yuan asked.

“He… is supported by a big shot from the Stellaris Autonomous Zone. That person often comes to Changlin City, and everyone here knows him. No one dares mess with his men!”

“What big shot? Tell me about it.”

Lu Yu was curious about who in Stellaris could be a bigger deal than Qin Yang.

“I don’t know his true ident.i.ty, but everyone in Changlin City calls him second brother.”

“Second brother? It seems like he has another bigger brother behind him; interesting!” Lu Yu laughed disdainfully.

“That group of underlings will rat us out for sure. I’m sure we will definitely fight this second brother sooner or later.” Xu Yuan stated.

“Let’s fight then. Do you think we’re afraid of him? I’ll treat it as eliminating an evil for the people.”

After saying that, Lu Yu picked up his room card and walked toward the elevator.

Xu Yuan and the others followed closely and also entered the elevator.

“We’ll just stay for one night. Tomorrow morning, we’ll head to Stellaris. If they come here for revenge, we’ll teach them a good lesson; I’ll not find them personally if they chickened out.”

After pressing the elevator b.u.t.ton, Lu Yu continued, “The first thing we need to do now is find w.a.n.g Meng and Qin Yang. We can only think about doing something else after that.”

Xu Yuan nodded slightly. “What’s the next step of our plan after we gather?”

“We’re going back to the ancient ruins. No one else will be allowed to occupy the mines we worked so hard to get!”

“You’re right. Those soldiers currently in the ancient ruins are very suspicious. From what General Lin said, I’m pretty sure they are in cahoots with the Truth Department.”

“Everything will be clear when we get there.”

The elevator door opened, and Lu Yu and the rest walked out. They took their room cards and went to their rooms, respectively.

As night fell, Changlin City was brightly lit. As a tourist city, it was lively even at night.

The nightlife of many people had just begun.

As for Lu Yu, he went to bed early. He needed to set off early the next morning, so he had to rest earlier today.

Lying on the bed, Lu Yu closed his eyes and quickly fell asleep.

Late at night, Lu Yu’s eyelids twitched as he lay on the bed. Soon after, a series of urgent knocks on his door rang out.

Lu Yu sat up straight. It was dark all around him, and the knocking continued.

He picked up his phone and realized it was two in the morning.

“Lu Yu! Open the door; there’s a situation outside!”

After that shouting, the knocks on his door continued.

Lu Yu stood up and walked toward the door after realizing it was Xu Yuan shouting.

He walked over and opened the door.

Xu Yuan was in a panic even after seeing Lu Yu.

“This is bad! There’s a fire downstairs!”

“Fire? It is burning to our floor?”

“Not yet, but this fire was man-made!”

Lu Yu quickly turned back and returned to his room. He went to the window and opened it to look down. He saw that many people had gathered at the hotel’s entrance and were all there to watch the show. Some kind-hearted people had even rushed into the fire to save others.

“Let’s go down and take a look.”

“Lu Yu, do you think the hooligans from earlier did this?”

“If they’re the ones who did it, then they made a mistake. It seems like they think an outsider is no match for them locals!”

Lu Yu put on his clothes and walked out in a hurry!

Han Xuefei and Yun Zirou were leaning against the wall in the corridor, waiting for Lu Yu.

“Let’s go down and take a look.”

Lu Yu entered the emergency exit and quickly arrived on the first floor.

A cloud of thick smoke instantly hit him when he exited the staircase.

The fire was almost extinguished, but the entire first floor was charred. A few burned bodies could also be vaguely seen in the smoke.

“A bunch of lunatics! They’re looking for death!”

Lu Yu walked through the burnt hall and headed for the exit.

After leaving the hotel, Lu Yu looked at the crowd of onlookers and asked loudly, “Stop watching, and tell me who started the fire!”

The group looked at each other and shook their heads slightly, not daring to say anything.

“Fine, they better not let me find them. If I find them, none will be alive any longer!”

Lu Yu roared in anger.

At that moment, a figure walked out of the crowd and came to Lu Yu.

“Bro, the arsonists are from an organization called the Fierce Dragon Gang. They’re mighty, and you can’t afford to offend them. Just forget it.”

“Fierce Dragon Gang? Interesting. I can’t believe people here are playing house by starting a gang. Where are they?”

Lu Yu was intensely irritated.

“Bro, I’m not kidding. Hurry up and leave. Once they target you, you won’t be able to leave.”

He continued to persuade Lu Yu.

“Who is the strongest person in Changlin City? Tell me,”

Lu Yu asked, staring at him.

“Changlin City is the same as most other cities. It has a parliament with members of parliament. The one with the highest rank should be the Chairman…”

Lu Yu turned to Xu Yuan and asked, “Where’s the parliament hall? Check it.”

Xu Yuan immediately lowered his head. He took out his phone and searched for the parliament building on the map.

“Let’s go and meet this Chairman. He’s in charge of this city, and I want to ask why he is a good-for-nothing!”

As he spoke, Lu Yu walked through the crowd and arrived at the main road.

Behind him, black smoke was still billowing from the hotel’s entrance. The fire in the lobby was still flickering, and the fire was still being put out.

Lu Yu stood by the road, and Xu Yuan hailed a taxi.

“This group of gangsters is sure bold, and I’m sure they have someone important backing them. The person we’ll meet later will probably be a big shot too, I presume.” Xu Yuan commented.

“That’s good, then. Let’s go and clean up this bad atmosphere in Changlin City!”

After saying that, Lu Yu got into the taxi and headed toward the parliament hall.

The parliament hall was situated in the city center. Although it was already late at night, the place was still brightly lit, with many people still working there.
