Chapter 1575 - 1574: Crashing the Event

A press conference was in full swing at the St. George Hotel, bustling with the sounds of many media personnel crowded inside. They directed their questions at Umarov regarding rumors of financial misconduct, while numerous comments were being posted online, making the event seem incredibly lively.

Although the press conference appeared lively, it was clear to anyone with discernment that it was merely a staged performance.

The questions posed by all the media members present had been pre-arranged, seemingly sharp but actually innocuous. The entire affair was just a show to whitewash the Crescent Group!

"Well, I think we've covered most of your questions."

After the final media 'question,' Umarov flashed a subtle smile, addressing the media personnel before him: "Does anyone have any questions about the alleged financial misconduct?"

With a genteel tone, Umarov spoke with an eloquence that made him appear scholarly, devoid of any bitterness. To outsiders, it seemed as though a refined tycoon was being falsely accused yet remained unperturbed.

"Mr. Umarov."

Upon his words, a man in a suit immediately stood up and said, "We've all heard your explanation and unanimously agreed that the online allegations are false. We will staunchly present the real you to the British public; we cannot let such a gentleman be wrongfully maligned!"

This was all part of a pre-arranged script. Upon hearing this, the other media personnel echoed the sentiment, appearing dramatically impassioned.

Seeing this, a faint smile appeared on Umarov's face; the stage was set for his performance.

With this in mind, Umarov smiled slightly and picked up the microphone, preparing to speak.

But at that moment, a sudden change occurred!

Bang!

Just as Umarov was about to say something, the two old-fashioned doors of the hall suddenly collapsed, with two security guards falling heavily to the ground, writhing in apparent agony.

"What!?"

Witnessing this, Umarov's expression changed drastically, showing shock as his right eyelid started twitching violently, as if something bad was about to happen: "What's going on!?"

"What's going on?"

A lazy voice answered Umarov's question as Lu Yu walked in casually, speaking indifferently: "I saw a ton of people spouting lies online late at night. The weather isn't great today, with the sky overcast, yet here you all are collectively lying through your teeth. Aren't you afraid of getting struck by lightning?!"

With words filled with mockery, Lu Yu leisurely walked further into the hall, followed by Abel in a sharp suit, carrying a briefcase, striding forward behind him.

Lu Yu!

Upon seeing Lu Yu, Umarov's heart skipped a beat, and his right eyelid twitched uncontrollably. He felt a dry sensation at the back of his neck, looking noticeably tense.

After all, it was Lu Yu who had posted the misconduct allegations online, making his arrival here with Abel a complete shock to Umarov.

"Mr. Lu, I don't remember inviting you."

After overcoming his shock, Umarov said, "You know that such an uninvited entrance is very impolite in the United Kingdom!"

Hahahaha!

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu burst into laughter, casually grabbing a champagne glass and an unsealed knife from a nearby tray, appearing both arrogant and audacious!

His laugh made the live broadcast focus instantly on Lu Yu's face, and the image appeared online simultaneously!

"Why are you laughing?!"

Seeing Lu Yu laugh like that, Umarov felt his own presence diminish immediately; he didn't understand why the moment Lu Yu arrived, his aura was suppressed!

"I laugh at your foolishness!"

Hearing Umarov's words, Lu Yu retorted loudly, downing the entire glass before smashing it on the ground: "Have you ever seen someone crash a party politely?"

With his words, Lu Yu's tone sank, and suddenly the hall's cheerful air was replaced by chilling tension, casting an unsettling atmosphere over everyone present.

Crash the party!?

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Umarov's expression changed; looking at Lu Yu with a gaze full of complexity and gloom, he said, "Lu Yu, what exactly do you want? I remind you to watch your words and actions; there are tens of millions of viewers watching this!"

"Tens of millions?"

Hearing this, Lu Yu sneered, speaking aloud: "I certainly know there are tens of millions of viewers watching, which is precisely why I chose this moment to crash the party!"

With his words, Lu Yu stared directly at Umarov with a playful glint throughout his speech!

With preparation!

Upon hearing Lu Yu's words, the four words flashed instantly in Umarov's mind!

Every action and word from Lu Yu indicated he wasn't acting on impulse; he knew about this press conference and its millions of viewers, which meant Lu Yu was here with the intention of targeting him!

Knowing the situation here yet daring to storm in, moreover bringing Abel along, clearly proved one thing — Lu Yu had come thoroughly prepared to crash the event!
