"Waiting for someone?" Lu Tianxiong was taken aback, followed by a laugh and asked in a derisive tone. "Could it be that you have called for backup?"

He did not hurry as he was displeased.

Just what kind of backup could Ye Lingchen call for?

"A friend of mine. We made an appointment tonight," answered Ye Lingchen calmly.

"Hahaha, friend?" Lu Hao burst out laughing maniacally. "If your friend knew of the situation you're in now, would he still dare come over?"

"Whoever that comes to your aid tonight, it's useless!"

"Oh? The Lu family is really imposing it seems!"

A low voice boomed across from the door, accompanied by the sounds of laid-back footsteps.

Lu Tianxiong's heart skipped a beat upon hearing that voice.

When he saw the figure that reached the door, it sent a shiver across his entire body. His pupils tightened, giving him a shocked look.

Ye Lingchen similarly looked outside.

Lin Shanhe came in person, with others from the Lin family behind him.

That included Lin Ruoyu and Lin Ao.

They strolled in casually as if taking a walk around a park, paying no heed to the bodyguards with machetes.

Lu Tianxiong, who was acting high and mighty just a moment before, put on the biggest smile he could and approached with the intention to brown-nose his new guests.

"Mr. Lin, what brings you here? If I knew that you will be visiting, I would've prepared the best banquet to greet you with. Please forgive me for the lack of preparation."

Lu Hao, on the other hand, kept his body bent and lowered his head, being exceptionally humble.

He may act with impunity, but he was not stupid. As the sole heir of Lu Group, he was well educated, especially on interpersonal skills.

Otherwise, he would still empty his family coffers no matter how big it was.

When evaluating people, he always had a scale in his heart.

Who he could toy with, who to cross, who not to cross, and also who to suck up to. All these factors were clearly laid out in his head.

Lin was one he had to suck up to at all costs, so much so that he dreamt of just following behind Lin Ruoyu, willing to be a bootlicker for life!

All that was due to the Lin having strong backing, too strong for him to compare.

An average person could get rich or even become a star. Above that would be a familial influence especially those with centuries, or even millennia worth of foundations.

However, no matter how influential the family can grow, it was still susceptible to three types of forces.

First of all, political power.

No matter the funding, one cannot fight authority.

Secondly, beyond all power, and that was the color of red!

Red here is referring to the army, representing the fundamental strength of the country.

Although the average person would never come in contact with this power, it was still one that should never be crossed with.
