The Genius System Without Equal

Xiao Luo did not comment when they spoke about Chu Yue, and thankfully someone changed the subject.

“Xiao Luo, what brings you here?”

It was his former teacher, Zhong Meili, who raised this question. She always had a good impression of Xiao Luo as a student who could discuss monetary concepts in great depth. She, therefore, was extremely disappointed about Xiao Luo’s suspension of school.

“Ms. Zhong, I am just traveling around,” Xiao Luo said, smiling at her.

“Travel? You came here alone?” Zhong Meili asked further, her brows furrowing quizzically.

Xiao Luo nodded. “Yeah.”

Although he wasn’t exactly a student of Huaye University, he still saw Zhong Meili as his teacher and always treated her with respect.

“You gave us all a serious scare earlier. Fortunately, none of us got into big trouble. The people here are not very accommodating, so please be aware of that. Stay away from any potential trouble as much as possible,” Zhong Meili said, striving to persuade Xiao Luo.

“Alright.”

Xiao Luo replied and nodded again to acknowledge her advice.

Suddenly, a local in a blue uniform with two police officers emerged running from the airport exit. He was none other than the chief of the customs, Davis. When he spotted Xiao Luo, he led the two police officers right for them.

“Why are they coming for us? Could it be that they are taking revenge on brother Luo?” Ding Kai cried in alarm.

“Let’s go!”

Zhong Meili could see that another incident was about to happen, so she hurried everyone to leave the location.

However, the two police officers quickly caught up to them, and in the blink of an eye, they withdrew their pistols, ordering the group to stop moving.

Davis was panting heavily as he approached them with a scowl on his face. It was in total contrast from the amiable man he projected himself to be back in the customs hall.

“Mr. Davis, what do you want?” Xiao Luo asked, pretending to look confused as he stared at the police officers with their guns drawn.

“You b*stard, did you think that you can cause a ruckus on my watch and leave as you please?”

Davis looked infuriated, then he glanced at the police officers and yelled, “Cuff him up.” He stared at Xiao Luo with malicious intent and said, “I will teach you a lesson on how to become an obedient Hua national.”

Zhu Xiaofei, Ding Kai, Huang Ruoran, and Wang Ling all cowered in fear. They quickly realized that Zhong Meili had been correct after all, and the people here were troublesome.

Xiao Luo remained calm and looked at the man. “Mr. Davis, I take it that you and your customs department are not afraid of international criticism?” he asked.

“Haha, haha…”

Davis laughed hysterically and said, “You have already deleted the video, so what makes you think that I am still afraid? Didn’t you recognize my actions? There’s a very apt idiom from the Hua nation for this situation, and that is: suffering disgrace and insults to accomplish an aim! You should have thought of the consequences when you were acting all heroic back there in…”

He suddenly stopped, and his face looked aghast.

It was because Xiao Luo had shoved the phone in his face, showing him the same video of the lady inspector insulting the Hua nation.

“You, you, you… didn’t delete it? But, I saw you deleting it with my own eyes. You also told your friend to delete it and not to keep a backup!” Davis stuttered as his face turned pale.

“You might not know that the phones made by the Hua nation come with a recycle bin function, and we can easily recover any recently deleted media. Besides, what I had said to my friend was merely a ploy. Do not misuse the idioms of Hua nation if you do not understand Chinese. What I told my friend was to upload this video to every social media platform in two hours and let the world see how the International Airport of Washington had insulted the people of Hua nation,” Xiao Luo said.

Davis trembled and broke out in a cold sweat. In a shaky voice, he said, “You… You cunning Hua national!”

“I’ll take that. By the way, are you still arresting me? Come, I’ll be compliant,” Xiao Luo said, extending his hands toward the man with a smile.

Davis was utterly at a loss, and he ended up chasing the two police officers away while ordering them to keep their pistols.

He smiled and quickly changed his arrogant demeanor. “This is a misunderstanding, Xiao Luo. I am just joking with you. I came here to send you off, and thank you again for the precious words of advice for our customs officers. You made us realized that we are still far from perfect, and we ought to commit ourselves to a higher standard. We will watch our every word and action from now on, and ensure we treat every international friend of the Mei nation with the utmost enthusiasm and friendliness.”

Oh, my God, this had taken a sudden turn. How did it happen so quickly?

Zhu Xiaofei and Ding Kai stared at each other in utter shock. They saw through the character of Davis, and they realized what a capricious person he was.

Huang Ruoran, Wang Ling, and Zhong Meili did not say a word, feeling a little awkward about the entire episode.

Xiao Luo sighed and said, “Still, despite all your humility, you won’t be able to change my mind about posting the video.”

He then turned around and strode off after those words.

Davis was feeling anxious now, for he would be doomed if that video went viral. It would cause an international backlash, and he would lose everything he had worked for until now.

“Xiao, please wait!”

He caught up with Xiao Luo and kneeled before him without caring about his dignity.

“Mr. Davis, please compose yourself,” Xiao Luo said, pretending to be shocked, and acted as if it troubled him.

“Xiao, please don’t upload that video. I am begging you, my future will be destroyed if you ever upload the video. I might even take my own life on account of this. Please, you can’t do this to me,” Davis pleaded. He was crying like a child who had done something wrong and was asking for forgiveness.

Seeing Davis on his knees amused Xiao Luo somewhat, and he reached out to pat his head. “There, there… Okay, fine, I won’t be uploading it,” he said.

He looked exactly like a dog whisperer, and it stunned Zhu Xiaofei and the rest of his former classmates.

“You promise?” Davis asked, looking pathetically at Xiao Luo.

“I promise.” Xiao Luo answered.

“Then, you must swear to God.”

“F*ck you, don’t you overstep the boundary. I will stick to my word!”

Xiao Luo got quite annoyed and walked away from Davis. Zhu Xiaofei and the rest of them caught up shortly after.

Davis was still kneeling as he glared at Xiao Luo with a vengeful fury and clenched his teeth.

After he stood up, a police officer came up to him. “Chief, do you want him dead?” he asked.

“F*ck off, that man is a cunning fox. He has something on us, and we can’t do anything about it!” Davis was fuming, but he could do nothing about it.

The police officers nodded in agreement. They had heard about the cunningness of the Hua people before and finally saw it first-hand. This Hua man played rings around their chief and even got him to kneel! He was skilled in manipulation and would undoubtedly have ruined their chief’s career if they had not resolved the conflict. Xiao Luo had put him to shame most terribly.

“Remember, whatever just happened will stay right here. Zip your mouths! If anyone ever knows about this, I will skin you two alive!” Davis scowled. Of course, he was referring to them seeing him kneeling.

The police officers were afraid, and they nodded repeatedly.

In a rented vehicle heading toward the University of Washington, there was non-stop laughter. Zhu Xiaofei, Xiao Luo, and Huang Ruoran were in this car. Ding Kai was supposed to have been with them, but just one threatening glare from Huang Ruoran was enough to make him voluntarily give up the seat for her.

“Brother Luo, do you want a disciple? I want to be as outstanding as you are! That dude was trying to seek vengeance but ended up kneeling on the pavement like a stray dog pleading for food. Brother Luo, my good brother Luo, how did you become so outstanding?” Zhu Xiaofei said. He virtually worshipped Xiao Luo from that point on.
