In the time-traveler chat group, am I the only one on Earth?

His encounter with Deng Sha on the plane was just an accident.

Because before he slept with Deng Sha, he didn't know that Deng Sha was Wang Zhipeng's girlfriend.

He still felt a little guilty about what happened with Deng Sha.

After all, he and Wang Zhipeng used to have a good relationship. Even if they couldn't be friends, he wouldn't go so far as to mess with the other's wife.

But now... the last trace of guilt in Lu Yun's heart has vanished.

Wang Zhipeng's choice to hang out with Li Mingzhi can be attributed to the fact that, as adults, their interests and hobbies differed, making it difficult for them to connect.

But since he hangs out with Xu Ziling and even leaks information about himself to Xu Ziling, there's nothing more to say about that.

"Lu Yun, was that person your friend?"

Murong Die, dressed in a magnificent gown, appeared behind Lu Yun with two glasses of red wine.

One of the cups was the one Lu Yun had just drunk from.

Lu Yun shook his head and took the red wine that Murong Die handed him.

"That was true before, but not anymore."

Murong Die raised her glass: "Want to have a drink?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yun smiled and raised his glass in response.

Ding!

The two wine glasses clinked together gently, producing a crisp sound.

........

Lu Yun didn't experience much emotional distress after breaking ties with Wang Zhipeng.

After all, when it comes to friends, quality is more important than quantity.

Is Lu Yun a snob who only cares about the poor and loves the rich?

of course not.

None of his three roommates in college were particularly wealthy, but he still keeps in touch with the other two.

His best friend, Cao Jin, also didn't have much money at home.

The two don't usually keep in touch, but if they need anything and call each other, they'll definitely be there to help immediately.

So, could it be that Lu Yun has a problem?

Shaking his head to stop thinking about it, Lu Yun began to focus on expanding his network of relationships with the Mu family.

As time went by, the banquet soon came to an end.

Mu Qingshan wanted Lu Yun to rest at the Mu family's manor villa, but Lu Yun politely declined.

Murong Die felt something was amiss, but Lu Yun insisted, so she couldn't say anything more.

The group of eight arrived outside the hotel. In addition to some bodyguards in cars, there were two professional bodyguards standing in front of Murong Die.

"You two, protect Mr. Lu."

Although she knew Lu Yun was very good at fighting, it was always good to have two more pairs of eyes.

The two bodyguards were named Guo Jun and Zhang Ming.

Upon hearing this, he replied with a respectful expression.

"Yes, ma'am."

"I'm leaving. Take care of yourself."

"Ok!"

Lu Yun waved his hand casually, and after the Mu family left, he stretched his neck.

He turned his gaze to the two bodyguards.

"You two wait here for me."

“This… Mr. Lu, President Mu has instructed us to protect you 24 hours a day.”

"He told you to protect me, not to spy on me. Wait here, or go back."

"Yes...yes!"

Mu Qingshan gave instructions that they should listen to Lu Yun completely.

Therefore, upon hearing Lu Yun's words, the two dared not be negligent.

Lu Yun ignored the two and returned to the hotel, taking the elevator to the top floor.

It was nearly 10 p.m. at this time.

The top floor has been cleared out by Xu Ziling; Wang Zhipeng and Li Mingzhi are not here.

As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, two bodyguards were waiting at the elevator entrance.

Led by the two bodyguards, Lu Yun arrived at the rooftop lobby lounge and met Xu Ziling.

The entire hotel lobby was brightly lit.

Xu Ziling sat on the middle sofa, his arms draped over the backrest, legs crossed, looking every bit the rich young master.

Besides him and the two bodyguards who were leading the way, there were two middle-aged men with gloomy faces, dressed in black training clothes.

One was in his forties, and the other was in his fifties.

He stood tall and was full of energy.

"Kid, I didn't expect you'd actually dare to come?"

Xu Ziling was clearly surprised to see Lu Yun appear alone and swaggering in front of him.

He was the son of Xu Hongyuan from Shanghai, while Lu Yun was alone and from out of town.

How could someone like him actually dare to come?

Lu Yun casually sat down opposite Xu Ziling.

"What's there to be afraid of? On the contrary, I think you have more courage than me."

"How to say?"

"Last time, Mu Die stopped you, and I didn't lay a hand on you. This time, you still dare to meet me alone? What else can you call that but commendable courage?"

"Hmph, if it weren't for the Mu family's intervention last time, you would already be in jail. What right do you have to say this to me?"

“So…” Lu Yun smiled knowingly, “You should thank the Mu family.”

Will he go to jail?

Are you kidding me?

Even if Xu Ziling called the police at the time, the police ruled that he had acted in excessive self-defense.

Lu Yun would absolutely never go to jail.

Keep in mind that he had used gene-editing drugs and possessed a facial enhancement device.

Why not just change your appearance to evade the police, find an opportunity to kill Xu Ziling, and live under his identity?

Incidentally, he could also use Xu Ziling's identity to clear his name.

So strictly speaking, the person the Mu family saved wasn't Lu Yun, but Xu Ziling.

"I should thank the Mu family?"

Xu Ziling was taken aback: "What kind of bullshit logic is this??"

"What kind of bullshit logic is this? You'll find out soon enough."

After saying this, Lu Yun glanced around: "Did you call me here to give me a warning? If I don't know what's good for me, will you have your two experts behind you teach me a lesson?"

"So what...so what?"

Although that's what he really thought.

Before Lu Yunlai arrived, he was also very confident in this regard.

But Lu Yun's two sentences revealed everything about him, instantly making him feel uneasy.

"The surveillance cameras on this floor are off, right? I don't think you'd be stupid enough to install listening devices to leave evidence of your crimes. And you're carrying a gun, aren't you?"

Xu Ziling: "......."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ziling was even more dumbfounded.

Is this guy really that direct?

He did want to bring a gun, but this was a five-star hotel.

If Lu Yun dies here, or is shot, they can't possibly do it completely silently.

With the Mu family's influence, they can definitely cooperate with the police to investigate and then eliminate them!

Even if the Mu family wouldn't fight to the death with the Xu family for the sake of the deceased Lu Yun.

So, how many mortal enemies does the Xu family have in business?

If they find out, the Xu family will be in big trouble.

"You didn't bring a gun?"

Seeing that Xu Ziling remained silent, Lu Yun smiled knowingly: "Then what are your chances of winning?"

"Boy, you're so arrogant!"

"I heard you're pretty good at fighting? We, your fellow disciples, will have a go at you."

No sooner had the angry shout fallen than two middle-aged men rushed toward Lu Yun from the left and right.

They were extremely fast and their movements were exceptionally agile.

It's clear that it's beyond the realm of ordinary people.

If we use the ranking system for experts from Xiao Yi's world...

These two are at least second-rate experts at the fifth level of Body Tempering.
