Prodigal System in the Flourishing City

"Don't make a fuss anymore." Lu Xiaobu quickly came out and said, "Besides, what chicken early in the morning!"

"This... this... there really isn't much with which to entertain you," the old lady said feeling somewhat helpless.

"Really, it's not necessary."

Lu Xiaobu sighed.

People here are too simple, and sometimes it makes things difficult.

Finally, thanks to Lu Xiaobu's persistence, the old lady spared that skinny old hen.

During breakfast, through subtle probing, Lu Xiaobu learned about their living conditions.

Ling'er's parents both work outside and only return home a few times a year, and the money they send home each year is just a few thousand yuan.

Moreover, with Ling'er's schooling expenses, the family always lives under tight financial pressures.

"Isn't there a poverty alleviation policy?"

Lu Hongbin asked, puzzled.

This isn't the old society; how could the state possibly neglect them?

"Hey."

The old lady sighed deeply without saying much.

"It's all been snatched away."

Ling'er said bitterly.

"Ling'er, don't spout nonsense."

The old lady quickly scolded.

She realized that these three brothers, although casually dressed, were definitely not ordinary people.

Better mind less business!

"Oh!"

Ling'er pouted and stopped talking, bowing her head to eat.

The three Lu brothers shared a look—their suspicions were raised!

After the meal, the three brothers huddled together.

"Letting Ling'er, this little girl, bitterly speak of being robbed, this matter is definitely not simple!" Lu Wenhuo was the first to speak.

Lu Xiaobu nodded in agreement, then looked at Lu Hongbin: "How about it, big brother, shall we settle this matter later on our way back?"

"If we've encountered it, of course we should solve the problem; a day or half a day won't make a difference."

Lu Hongbin immediately responded.

"Alright then, I'll go ask Ling'er what exactly happened," Lu Xiaobu quickly said.

Then, while the old lady was distracted, he found Ling'er.

Lu Xiaobu, looking at the working Ling'er, asked, "Ling'er, tell me in detail, what do you mean by being robbed?"

"It was none other than the village tyrant—Zhao Liu. Every time items for poverty alleviation arrive, he snatches them all. I heard he has even bought houses in the county," Ling'er said hatefully.

"Doesn't anyone take care of him?"

Lu Xiaobu frowned.

"Who dares to manage him? He is a village chief himself!"

Ling'er said helplessly.

"Local emperor? Interesting."

Lu Xiaobu's eyes narrowed: "Tell me, where does his family live? I'll go pay him a visit."

"Big brother, better not! That guy has a lot of dogs at home!"

Ling'er hastily advised, not wanting to see this well-intentioned big brother get hurt.

Lu Xiaobu: "No worries, I want to see just how formidable this guy is!"

"Well, okay then."

Ling'er finally told Lu Xiaobu.

...

After knowing the location, the three brothers headed straight to the destination.

Actually, the location Ling'er provided wasn't very accurate, but they didn't walk far before they locked onto the target.

After all, in this tiny village, a mansion was very conspicuous!

They hadn't arrived yet when they heard a fierce barking of dogs!

"Sure enough, he keeps a lot of dogs. Judging by the noise, no other household in the village has as many as he does!"

Lu Xiaobu rolled his eyes as he spoke.

"Who is at my door? Want to die? Get lost!"

A domineering voice suddenly came out from the mansion!

Then, the iron gate opened.

A middle-aged man in a trench coat walked out, looking exactly like Zhao Liu!

His gaze towards Lu Xiaobu and the others was full of disdain: "Who are you? You're not from this village, are you? Here to play hero? I advise you to mind your own business!"

It must be said, being able to become a local tyrant, this guy does have some brains.

He actually guessed right.

As he spoke, three more people walked out of his house.

Among them, two were leading a dozen fierce dogs, and the remaining one stood behind Zhao Liu.

Lu Xiaobu was just about to speak.

However, he suddenly paused.

Because he saw a miraculous scene appear before his eyes.

He saw Zhao Liu's shoulders tremble, and the trench coat immediately fell off him, but he didn't even glance at it.

The person who was standing behind him caught the coat in an instant.

Then, Zhao Liu stretched out two fingers on his right hand and raised them behind him!

Immediately, the kid who caught the coat held up a lit, carrot-thick cigar and placed it between Zhao Liu's fingers.

Zhao Liu took a couple of puffs from it and lazily eyed Lu Xiaobu and the others: "Get lost, or I'll set the dogs on you!"

After saying this, Zhao Liu raised his hand again, and then that same kid quickly took the cigar, tapped off the ash, and put it back!

"Wow! Impressive!"

Lu Xiaobu watched this well-rehearsed flow, completely speechless!

Damn, this guy's status isn't high, but he surely doesn't lack style!

Such a sequence, he had never seen even with Lin Feng!

This local tyrant even had more style than Lin Feng!

"Hmph, good that you know what's powerful! Hurry up, go back to wherever you came from! I won't chase after you this time!"

Zhao Liu sneered coldly, his face full of arrogance.

"No way, I need to capture this moment and show it to Lin Feng!"

Lu Xiaobu chuckled, finding something fun.

"Kid, what are you muttering to yourself?!"

Zhao Liu frowned and chastised: "I'll say it one last time, if you old hick don't back off, I'm releasing the dogs!"

"Pfft!"

The moment he spoke, the three brothers couldn't help but laugh.

They were actually called old hicks by this guy?!

"Ridiculous! Release the dogs!"

Zhao Liu, seeing these three old hicks dare to mock him, was instantly furious!

Immediately, the two guys with the dogs let go of the leashes!

In an instant, the dozen fierce dogs pounced towards Lu Xiaobu and the others!

"Dumbass, go!"

Lu Xiaobu kicked the lazily approaching dumbass on the butt.

Dumbass was brought by Zhang Meng.

Zhang Meng had been watching Lu Xiaobu's actions in real-time; seeing the fierce dogs emerge, he had already started heading this way!

...

Then!

"Clang!"

"Clang!"

"Crash!"

A series of noises later, the previously arrogant Zhao Liu was thrown into the corner.

As for those fierce dogs...

Dumbass was training them to stand on their heads!

Yep, this guy was definitely taking out all his grudge from being kicked by Lu Xiaobu on these dogs!

"Quick, come here!"

Lu Xiaobu waved to Zhao Liu in the corner, excitedly saying: "Perform it again, that classy act you did just now! I'm going to record it!"
