Mr. Lu's Substitute Can Fight

Lu Minglu hired a little stand-in.

The stand-in was clean-cut, pretty, well-behaved, short on cash, and, most importantly, looked 70 percent like President Lu's one true love.

President Lu was very pleased and generously signed a contract. He paid well and even provided full social insurance and housing fund contributions.

That afternoon, right after the contract was signed, Lu Minglu received word that the little stand-in had jumped off the roof of his villa and was being rushed to the hospital.

Lu Minglu: ...

If the deal's off, there's still no need to burn bridges. You could've just said you didn't want the job. Why do this?

At the hospital, the little stand-in, now with a broken leg, looked at him with a strangely righteous expression and restrained anger. "Are you the chief of this stronghold? Why have you imprisoned me? If you want the secret manual of my sect, I would rather die than hand it over!"

Lu Minglu: ...

What kind of role-play is this?

He said sternly, "Don't act like that. It makes you look less like him."

It wasn't until he discovered that the little stand-in had become incredibly strong, able to punch a sandbag apart and leap across rooftops, while ten security guards couldn't hold him down, that Lu Minglu realized the stand-in was growing bigger and stronger by the day. He was even taller than Lu Minglu now.

The no-longer-so-little stand-in said, "You said before that I was your kept lover. In that case, I should fulfill my obligations."

Lu Minglu watched the stand-in crush a stainless-steel fork into a metal ball. "N-no need, hero..."

The stand-in came over and began stripping off his clothes, righteous as could be. "I don't know how to do it, but I assume I just need to use force."

Lu Minglu: ...

Help! He's going to kill me!
