Jiang Mengxin looked at Lu Ming with pleading eyes, her throat choked as she said, "Lu Ming, please, can you just kneel down? No matter how much trouble you caused before, I could indulge you. But today is different! The one sitting in the main seat now is the Sleeping Dragon of Fog City, the most powerful man in Fog City, a direct disciple of the Dragon Warlord! If you make such a scene, not only will you die, but I will also be implicated, and even the entire Jiang family far away in Jinling will suffer because of it. Lu Ming, don't be so stubborn, can you see reality more clearly?"
This was Jiang Mengxin's last plea.
So humble, so pitiable.
Even Su Wanran frowned, her opinion of Lu Ming changing somewhat.
Before, Su Wanran thought Lu Ming had great courage and a powerful background, a man worth recruiting. But seeing Lu Ming's performance at this moment, Su Wanran regretted it a little.
No matter what background Lu Ming had, it couldn't be stronger than the Sleeping Dragon of Fog City!
No matter how capable you are, Lu Ming, can you be stronger than Han Shichong?
In this situation, you dare to stand up and confront Han Shichong head-on, aren't you risking your own life and the lives of your friends and relatives?
Fortunately, Su Wanran wasn't Lu Ming's girlfriend, otherwise, it wouldn't be Jiang Mengxin crying now, but Su Wanran.
The more she thought about it, the more scared she became.
Su Wanran decided to give up on recruiting Lu Ming.
Of course, it's possible that after tonight, Lu Ming will be seen no more, as he will be beaten to death by Han Shichong.
The atmosphere of the entire banquet was solemn.
After a long while.
Lu Ming looked up at Han Shichong and said, "Seeing is believing. You are the War God's disciple, the Sleeping Dragon of Fog City, Han Shichong? You have quite the presence."
Everyone laughed.
Presence, of course, he had it! Han Shichong had the capital for it, didn't he?
However, to everyone's surprise, Han Shichong actually lowered his head and sat there without saying a word, as if he was contemplating something.
"What's wrong with Lord Sleeping Dragon? Is he asleep?"
"I don't know, something feels strange."
Lu Ming continued, "You still want my fiancée to drink with you; you still want to sit in the Su family's main seat and dictate the position of the Su family head; you still want to be the emperor of Fog City? Han Shichong, what gives you the right?"
Hiss!!!
Everyone gasped, this Lu Ming was crazy!
He dared to speak to the Sleeping Dragon of Fog City like this, he must have thrown his life to the winds.
Han Yun, Su Fei'ang, Shen Dianlan, and others also remained silent, quietly watching Lu Ming's madness, waiting to see how he would die.
But they never expected.
Not only was Han Shichong not angry, but he stood up like a primary school student, silently lowering his head, listening to Lu Ming's reprimand.
It felt like a primary school student who had made a mistake being criticized by a teacher in front of everyone.
Very strange!
Everyone's eyes were filled with confusion, not understanding why the situation had become like this.
Lu Ming continued, "Han Shichong, don't you find your deceptive behavior shameful?"
Finally, someone couldn't stand it anymore.
Han Yun slapped the table and stood up, yelling, "Lu Ming, how dare you! How can you insult the Sleeping Dragon of Fog City? Someone, take him down and beat him to death on the spot!"
The thugs were already prepared, and upon hearing the order, they immediately got ready to move.
Unexpectedly.
Han Shichong roared, "All of you t...
Indeed, Han Shichong had done the same when he first arrived.
But why, after Lu Ming's appearance, did Han Shichong act so out of character and become a coward?
Where exactly did things go wrong?
Lu Ming chuckled and asked with extreme "arrogance," "Where is your mistake?"
A mere live-in son-in-law dared to question the Sleeping Dragon of Fog City with such a tone, yet the Sleeping Dragon dared not resist. This scene stunned everyone.
Even more shocking things were yet to come.
Han Shichong walked down from the main seat, stood in front of everyone, and said loudly, "I have three sins. Sin one, I was expelled from the War God's tutelage long ago, yet I still claim to be a direct disciple of the War God, which is utterly rebellious. Sin two, I was punished by the War God to repent in Fog City for being a deserter back then, but instead, I became a local emperor, not only not repenting but living a life of luxury and comfort. I am truly unworthy of being human. Sin three, I used the War God's name to deceive and harm the people of Fog City, and now I'm even meddling in the Su family's head position. My sins are beyond enumeration."
"I, Han Shichong, am ungrateful for China's nurturing grace, ungrateful for the War God's cultivation, and ungrateful for the expectations of the people of Fog City. I am worse than a pig or a dog!"
"I am a sinner!!!"
Saying this, Han Shichong knelt directly before everyone and kowtowed heavily, his head even breaking open.
The scene was silent, a deathly stillness.
Pairs of eyes stared at Han Shichong, watching this once arrogant Sleeping Dragon of Fog City kowtow like a dog before them all.
The atmosphere was extremely bizarre.
