When they heard about 5 billion, everyone's expression changed. Those who were originally thinking about unity were now terrified and only knew the importance of self-preservation.

Filip came prepared; no one doubted that he had such a large sum of money—50 billion—and it seemed he had his eye on Song Yi.

If he only had a few billion, everyone could have worked together and gotten through it. But he had five billion, and the situation was too big for them to handle. Because of one wrong move, they were finished before Filippo could even acquire them.

At this point, everyone fell silent. Filip gave a haughty snort. He had roamed various countries for so many years; how could these people compare to him?

Phil turned around and his gaze fell back on Song Yi and Lu Xiao.

"May this gentleman leave now?"

Lu Xiao leaned against Song Yi with his arms crossed, and once again brazenly sized up Philite. This guy was really arrogant. Even when Lu Qingyu bet 200 billion with someone, he wasn't this arrogant.

Esso: "Security, please ask this gentleman to leave."

Song Yi didn't move. He wasn't worried at all because he saw Lu Xiao's father.

Lu Xiao sighed and called out to the back of the crowd:

"Dad, they kicked me out, not because I was lazy and didn't come in your place."

Hearing Lu Xiao call out "Dad," everyone looked in the direction he was looking. The person in that direction was also curious about who Lu Xiao was calling, so they automatically made way for him.

Lu Qingyu hadn't even taken off his trench coat yet when he removed his glasses, and everyone gasped.

Both Phil and Esso wore serious expressions. How could it be him?

Even though Philet had never dealt with Lu Qingyu, he knew she was a difficult person to handle.

A gambling spree abroad wiped out the people of the film and television giant, Hua Na.

People who live more successful lives than those with systems, even without them.

Lu Qingyu entered the entertainment industry at the age of seventeen. Her first goal was to buy the company she was signed with, and within five years she had risen to sixth place on the Forbes list.

Lu Qingyu is now thirty-seven years old, and he is no longer on the Forbes list because his assets cannot be calculated.

No one expected that Lu Xiao would be Lu Qingyu's son. Lu Qingyu had never been married, so where did her son come from?

Moreover, if you said the two of them were brothers, it would be more believable, but what if they were father and son?

What a joke!

But only a very few people know that Lu Xiao was brought back by Lu Qingyu from the ruins of war.

Lu Qingyu: "That's perfect. Let's go together. If we buy this place tomorrow and hold our own banquet, no one will kick us out."

Esso immediately tensed up upon hearing this. Others might have thought it was boasting, but Lu Qingyu's words terrified him.

This hotel is his best property. Lu Qingyu has partnered with a leading international hotel company to open many hotels, which are of a higher standard than his own. If Lu Qingyu gets serious, he will suffer a great loss.

He was the one who sent Lu Qingyu the invitation, but he didn't expect Lu Qingyu to actually come.

Esso: "Mr. Lu, it's all a misunderstanding. I didn't know this was your son."

Lu Qingyu looked at Lu Xiao, who looked like a wronged puppy:

"Dad, I'd better focus on my experiments from now on. The outside world is too complicated."

Lu Qingyu's eyes suddenly narrowed. He was angry. His son's lab had exploded once, but luckily he survived. He had finally managed to persuade his son to do something else, but if these people tried to take him back, Lu Qingyu would blow them up.

Esso: "Hehe, that's a joke. Young Master Lu, please make yourself at home here and do whatever you want."

Lu Xiao blurted out, "Then you dance."

Lu Qingyu: ······

Esso: ......

After Lu Qingyu arrived, the previously demoralized people seemed to suddenly have a powerful backer.

Lu Xiao: "Dad, this is Song Yi, the friend I told you about."

"Song Yi, this is my father."

Song Yi didn't say anything. Lu Xiao turned around and saw Song Yi staring at his father. Lu Xiao immediately smacked Song Yi with a stick and said, "Damn it, what are you doing, sneaking off?"

Song Yi felt a moment of panic, something she hadn't experienced in a long time. Seriously, Lu Xiao's dad was just too handsome.

His voice was hoarse when he spoke.

"Uncle, hello."

Lu Qingyu: "Hmm~ Hello."

As soon as Lu Qingyu uttered that "hmm~", Lu Xiao's eyes flew over immediately. The father and son looked at each other without saying anything, but it felt like they had exchanged more than one sentence.

Lu Qingyu: The first time I've met my son's friend in such a grand way was actually a boy.

Lu Xiao: Lu Qingyu, you'd better be serious.

Lu Qingyu: My dad is open-minded. He's so handsome, I like him a lot.

Lu Xiao exclaimed in alarm: "Don't do anything rash!"

Lu Qingyu: Watch me.

Lu Qingyu: "I heard someone wants to acquire your company?"

Before Song Yi could speak, Philette said:

"Does Mr. Lu have to get involved in this kind of thing?"

Philette was wary of Lu Qingyu, but not to the point of being afraid.

Lu Qingyu: "This child is my son's friend."

The implication is that it definitely needs to be addressed.

Philette was getting anxious. He had only just arrived in China and had already set his sights on something. Even Lu Qingyu couldn't stop him. Moreover, this time his resolve was even stronger. Otherwise, if word got back to his own country, he would be scared off by Lu Qingyu.

He cannot let that happen.

Filip revealed his hand directly:

"I'm determined to get KD Financial. I've brought 5 billion, and nobody can stop me."

Everyone in the banquet hall was watching Lu Qingyu, eager to know how she would resolve the situation.

Lu Qingyu: "The 5 billion you mentioned, you don't mean Lauren's 15 billion, Kaiwei's 50 billion, Roger's 20 billion, and your own company's 10 million, do you?"

Philette's expression changed drastically, because Lu Qingyu's words were absolutely accurate.

Filippo: "How did you know?"

Lu Qingyu casually sat down on the sofa and then took the wine that Lu Xiao handed her.

"Because they bet against me and lost."

Lu Qingyu's favorite game, without a doubt, is gambling.

Foreigners also love gambling because no one has ever beaten them, but after Lu Qingyu won, why are they still willing to gamble with him again?

Because I always fall for it, but every time it's different.

Lu Qingyu: "It's normal that you don't know the news. It only ended 15 hours ago. My people went to these companies to settle the bets 2 hours ago. I estimate that your investors will withdraw their funds in a little while."

As expected of someone who has weathered many storms, even though Lu Qingyu said that, he quickly calmed down.

Filip: "This is nothing. Everyone knows my strength. Even without the financial support of these companies, other companies will join. Besides, with my own company, coming up with 3 billion is not a problem."

Lu Qingyu: "Oh, by the way, your company's two directors also participated in the betting agreement."

Phil's heart skipped a beat; Lu Qingyu's next words completely shattered his confidence.

"Their stake is your company's shares."

"So, I am now the largest shareholder of your company."
