Chapter 129: Lending a Helping Hand

Zhao Huang, who had a fearsome reputation throughout the capital, had been completely subdued by Lu Ming, to the point of spending ten million to enlist his help. What kind of person was this Mr. Lu, really?

Observing the shocked expressions of those around him, Lu Ming smiled and said, "Everyone, there is no need for surprise. As I said, from now on, wherever Jiamei is, we will not bow to any faction."

Hearing these words again, the crowd felt a surge of confidence, developing an unprecedented sense of trust in Jiamei.

Qin Yuanjiu muttered, "Mr. Lu, I never expected you to be such a formidable expert. We have certainly learned something today."

Lu Ming smiled and replied, "I told you, I am very strong."

"Mm." This time, Aduo nodded firmly, acknowledging his words.

The two watched television for a while longer, and as he watched, Lu Ming fell asleep on the sofa. Seeing this, Aduo found a blanket to cover him, then curled her feet up beside him and continued watching. Before long, drowsiness overcame her as well, and she drifted off to sleep right there.

The next morning, Lu Ming awoke and opened his sleepy eyes to discover a highly awkward situation.

Aduo had somehow fallen asleep resting her head on his thigh, and his "brother" was standing tall and proud, pressed right against her cheek. At that moment, Lu Ming didn't dare move a muscle, fearing he would wake her and let
