Big Shot’s Reincarnation Sweeps the World - Chapter 406

Chapter 406: Identity Exposed

The camera was omnidirectional. At this moment, the staff member adjusted the angle.

Clang!

Lan Guang shuddered and fell off the chair.

“Help me up!” he said to the staff hurriedly.

The staff member could not figure out what was going on. They helped him up first. He stood up and immediately ran out.

The staff was stunned.

Mr. Lan had been swift and decisive all these years. He always walked with gusto. This was the first time the staff member saw him lose his composure like this.

Everything that happened after Lan Guang walked out of the door made people’s jaws drop.

He took two steps up the stairs, stumbled, and lost all his poise. Even so, he still ran forward recklessly, very unlike his usual mature and steady self.

At this moment, Lan Xiao was still blocking Sheng Yang with a frown. “Can’t I apologize to you?”

He just wanted to have a good talk because he had too many questions for this girl.

“You can’t.”

Lan Xiao was a stubborn guy and was triggered by this. “Yun Kai Bookstore belongs to my family. If you’re so impolite, then I don’t have to be courteous anymore either!”

“Your bookstore?” Sheng Yang was surprised. It was her fault for not investigating clearly when she went out. Even if she had the ability, who would find out everything about a shop before going there to buy things?

“Talking about being polite? I’d like to hear you explain how one should be polite.” A graceful woman in a beret walked over with a fan.

When Lan Xiao saw who it was, he immediately cowered. “Auntie Wu?”

Wu Jiaoyue was a well-known figure in the industry. Putting aside her husband’s identity, she was also a top diplomat who was fluent in six languages.

Her language skills were extremely advanced, so she could easily enter Yun Kai Bookstore, which had an entry requirement of an IQ above 140.

Lan Xiao did not expect Wu Jiaoyue to overhear their conversation. This was someone even his uncle and the Lan family had to give way to.

As soon as Wu Jiaoyue came over, she held Sheng Yang’s hand affectionately and said in a pitiful tone, “Yangyang, you’ve suffered.”

Sheng Yang was confused.

Lan Xiao didn’t know how Sheng Yang got to know Auntie Wu and how she shared such a good relationship with her. At that moment, his face was filled with awkwardness. “Auntie Wu, it’s not what you think.”

“I don’t care what the truth is! I just know that I saw Yangyang suffering.” Wu Jiao Yue’s eyes were sharp. “I’ll make you pay.”

As soon as she finished speaking, a person quickly ran over. He was dressed in formal attire and was drenched in sweat. His hair was messy, and it was almost impossible to recognize him.

Let alone Wu Jiaoyue, even Lan Xiao nearly failed to recognize him. “Uncle…”

“Pah!” Lan Guang gave Lan Xiao a slap. “I’m not your uncle!”

Lan Guang was furious. His shoulders were twitching.

Wu Jiaoyue opened her mouth and then said in an intimidating tone, “Don’t think that we’ll let this go.”

“Of course not.” Lan Guang’s gaze was cold. “Lan Xiao, I announce that from today onward, you’ll be blacklisted by the S-grade laboratory and will never be able to enter again.”

Lan Xiao covered his face but felt as if his heart was the one that was torn apart instead. “Uncle…”

Wu Jiaoyue was slightly startled. Didn’t Lan Guang always love his nephew? He seemed strict, but he had high expectations for him.

He was actually willing to blacklist his nephew from the S-grade laboratory?

She did not say anything. It was the boy’s actions that caused this.

Since the other party had already been slapped, Wu Jiaoyue could not say anything more. “I’ll let you off just this but make sure it doesn’t happen again. Otherwise, your life in the capital will not be easy, Lan Xiao.”

After Wu Jiaoyue left with Sheng Yang, Lan Guang asked someone to pack up all the books that Sheng Yang had chosen. They would be sent to her place later.

Lan Xiao, a grown man, could not help but shed tears. He was in too much despair and heartache. “Uncle, even if Auntie Wu knew her, she wouldn’t go that far.”

Lan Guang seemed to be smiling but was actually not. He seemed to be crying but was actually not. “Heh, if I didn’t do that, do you think you would’ve faced a better outcome?”

“Auntie Wu wouldn’t…”

“It has nothing to do with Wu Jiaoyue at all!”

Lan Xiao was dumbstruck. He mumbled, “That is…”

Lan Guang looked in the direction where they left. “That’s the girl Young Master Yi brought that day.”

“…” Lan Xiao’s mind seemed to be torn apart at this moment.

Then, he suddenly thought of something. He seemed to realize something, then it was as if he had gone mad. He laughed loudly as though he had completely thought things through.

He didn’t have to look for the girl to find an answer anymore. He had figured it out.

“What are you laughing at?” Lan Guang looked at him in confusion. Was he crazy?

“I finally know why she’s so powerful. She’s so beautiful, yet she’s so powerful. It’s all because of one reason. It’s all because of a particular someone’s help, and that person is that master. It finally makes sense…”

Slap! This time, Lan Guang caused blood to flow out from the corner of Lan Xiao’s mouth. However, he didn’t manage to vent his anger and continued punching and kicking.

This was all his fault. He was the one who influenced his nephew and led him down a crooked path.

Everything he said, even those that he said unknowingly, were all picked up by Lan Xiao. Furthermore, he became even more deranged.

There were other people in the bookstore who were hiding far away, but they kept casting doubtful gazes over.

After that, Lan Guang also looked at all the surveillance cameras. He was completely exasperated at Lan Xiao’s failure to live up to expectations. “She’s right. You really don’t have brains!”
