Chapter 2 A Low-rent House Flower

"I'll be damned...."

The man with the buzz cut was furious. This kid was blatantly humiliating him.

As the primary enforcer for a wealthy family, if he couldn't even kill a silly boy, where was justice, where was the law?

"Three...."

Lu Ning was expressionless.

"Damn it!"

The buzz-cut man spat, and with a loosening of his five fingers, the dagger dropped into his other hand.

Swoosh....

"Ow....."

A flash of cold light and the dagger was already in the buzz-cut man's belly.

What made it fatal was that he had stabbed himself with it.

What happened?

Could it be the fake booze Brother Dong treated him to tonight?

"Two!"

Lu Ning shouted coldly.

"Alright.... I'm leaving, okay!"

The buzz-cut man lost his momentum, sensing that there was something off about this kid.

Without uttering another threat, he turned and ran to his Range Rover. "Brother Dong, I'm hurt, my guts might be spilling out!"

"Hmph, go to the hospital first. Later, we'll settle the score with this kid slowly!"

Lin Zhengdong said with a dark face.

"Ah..."

Only when the tail lights of the Range Rover had vanished did Su Muxue let out a deep sigh.

Given Lin Zhengdong's vindictive nature, the man by her side was probably in big trouble.

"I'll give you some money, leave Wu City!"

Su Muxue touched her tattered blazer, preparing to give Lu Ning some money to flee.

"Hmph, if they dare to provoke me again, the ones leaving Wu City will be them!"

Lu Ning said indifferently, turned around to pick up his bag of trash, walked a few steps, then stopped and said, "Woman, if you ever get into trouble again, come find me, I'll protect you!"

After that, Lu Ning's tall figure disappeared from Su Muxue's sight.

"You protect me.... heh...."

Su Muxue shook her head with a self-deprecating smile.

She told herself silently: Everything tonight was just an accident, your life couldn't possibly intersect with that of a trash picker.

Afterward, Su Muxue also got into her Mercedes, clenched her teeth, and drove out of the alley.

Half an hour later.

In the Old Town District, low-rent housing.

"Big fool, why are you back so late? Did you complete today's task?"

Wang Ying, wearing an apron, scowled at Lu Ning.

For the past three years, Lu Ning had been living in her house.

His daily task was to pick up a bag of trash to help with the household expenses.

"Something came up, I was delayed."

Lu Ning shrugged.

"Hmph, what could possibly come up for you? You don't learn anything good, just becoming lazier, right? Hurry up and get in, take a shower and come out for dinner!"

Wang Ying glared at Lu Ning with disdain. Although she wore only a shirt over her whole body, she didn't find it odd at all.

He was such a big fool that the fact he didn't come home completely naked was already something to be grateful for.

"Oh...."

Lu Ning absent-mindedly scratched his head and carried the bag of garbage into the backyard.

When he came out, Wang Ying was hugging a slender, long-haired girl, both crying their eyes out.

"Yunyun, what happened?"

Lu Ning asked the girl.

Her name was Tang Yun, Wang Ying's daughter, and a renowned beauty of the low-rent housing area.

She had just graduated from college and had been looking for a job recently.

"Brother... I....!"

Tang Yun bit her lip, her eyes tearful, looking pitiful.

But on her fair, beautiful face, there was a swollen slap mark.

"Yunyun, tell me—who bullied you?"

Lu Ning's eyes turned cold. Someone dared to hit Tang Yun; they must be tired of living.

After all, for the past three years, he had always been the "big fool."

But Tang Yun called him "Brother".

Now that his memory had returned, Lu Ning naturally came to regard Tang Yun as his sister.

"It's...."

It turned out that today was Tang Yun's first official day at work. In the evening, the office director sent everyone away, intending to take advantage of her.

When Tang Yun refused, she was slapped and even threatened with being blacklisted, with warnings that no one in the industry would dare employ her ever again.

"Brother, what do we do about our family now?"

Tang Yun's tears became more plentiful.

Her father had been lying in the hospital, unconscious, and the whole family was supported solely by her mother, who ran a barbecue stall at the night market.

But her mother still insisted on her attending university.

She said that knowledge could change fate, and that she was the hope of the entire family, that it was worth it even if it was tiring and hard.

But no one expected that on her first day at work, she would offend the company's leadership and even be blacklisted in the entire industry.

"Yunyun, what's the use of telling all this to the big fool? Aside from picking up junk every day, what other skills does he have? Forget it, Mom will ask someone to find you another job tomorrow."

Wang Ying glared at Lu Ning with resentment and pulled her daughter into the room.

"Ah, if only the Junior Sect Leader hadn't been wiped out. Money, status—I could provide all of that for them in a matter of minutes!"

Lu Ning shook his head and sighed.

After a quick meal, he entered the backyard, secured the doors and windows, and sat cross-legged on the bed.

Before long, a white fog appeared on the left side of his body, and a black fog appeared on the right side.

As the Young Master of the Five Poisons Sect, Lu Ning was very skilled in martial arts and Parasite Poison.

The white fog was True Qi.

The black fog was Parasite Poison.

Lu Ning had been a fool for three years, and his True Qi and Parasite Poison had also been dormant for three years.

Now, Lu Ning had awakened them.

"Thank you for staying with me!"

Lu Ning opened his eyes, and the True Qi and Parasite Poison disappeared, hiding within his body.

The next day.

Lu Ning covertly pulled Tang Yun along, riding out the door on a small electric scooter.

The fat leader had hit Tang Yun and wanted to blacklist her, but Lu Ning was certainly not going to let it go at that.

Around nine o'clock.

Lu Ning and Tang Yun entered the lavish hall of a company, sitting on the sofa, waiting for the fat leader to appear.

A few minutes later.

A fat man with a round face, clutching a briefcase, entered through the revolving glass door.

"Brother, that's him!"

Tang Yun quietly pointed him out.

"Leave it to me!"

Lu Ning stood up and walked straight towards the fat leader.

Bang!

Grabbing the man's shoulder, he delivered a heavy punch to the man's stomach.

"Ah...damn..."

The fat leader, nearly two hundred kilograms heavy, flew out and landed heavily on the floor, as if all his bones were about to fall apart.

"Security... security..."

The front desk secretary, seeing the leader being attacked, called out in panic.

About a dozen brawny security guards dressed in black uniforms, wielding rubber batons, rushed over.

"Ow... catch this kid and bring him to my office!"

The fat leader gave Lu Ning a venomous look, silently vowing to flay him once he got him into the office.

"Yes, Director Cai!"

A group of security guards, ferocious as wolves, brandishing their rubber batons, moved to apprehend Lu Ning.

Ding ding....

"What happened?"

Accompanied by the crisp sound of high heels clicking on the floor.

A tall figure dressed in a white professional attire, hair pinned up high, exuding a goddess-like presence, walked in.

"President Su!"

"President Su!"

In the hall, the secretary, security guards, and even the beaten fat man, all called out respectfully.

Su Muxue took off the sunglasses from her high-bridged nose, her gaze sweeping over everyone.

When her eyes landed on Lu Ning's face, she stiffened slightly.
