Zhang slammed the box shut with a loud thud.

"If it weren't for the fact that you have money in your hands, you wouldn't even be seeing me today!"

"Brother Zhang, what do you mean?"

Qi Qiang was extremely nervous. He was genuinely worried that this matter would be discovered. If the person in front of him found out, he would be finished.

This guy might even kill me.

Seeing that he was still pretending to be stupid, Zhang Meng sneered.

"You really think I can't see what you're planning to do? I'm just reluctant to part with the money in your hands. Considering you've put up so much money, you've got your money for risking your lives."

He snorted coldly at Qi Qiang, who was trying to continue pretending to be stupid.

"I'm not going to waste my breath on you. Don't take me for a fool."

"Not Meng Ge!"

Qi Qiang quickly tried to explain.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Yuan suddenly laughed and asked a question.

"How did you figure that out?"

Lu Yuan felt that his performance should be considered acceptable. There were no unexpected incidents or flaws, and the person in front of him should not recognize him.

Besides, Zhang Meng has already received two million. Under such a huge surprise, he will probably reveal some flaws in his actions.

Zhang Meng pointed at Qi Qiang and said.

"This kid just landed a big deal, he probably thinks he's really something and is eager to celebrate, so why would he have time to introduce his friends again?"

"If you hadn't seen the money in your suitcase, you wouldn't have seen me at all."

Upon hearing this, Qi Qiang's face turned pale instantly. He hadn't expected that the biggest problem and trouble would actually befall him.

Because of this thought, he now has absolutely no idea what to say.

Lu Yuan shook his head helplessly, realizing that he had underestimated them.

According to Lu Yuan's prediction, this should have been the most relaxed time for Zhang Meng, but in fact, it was the opposite.

For Zhang Meng, the most important thing was to leave Shanghai safely.

"I should have known better than to bring this guy."

Lu Yuan looked helpless. In reality, no matter what choice he made, it would eventually be discovered.

Zhang Meng stood up, holding the money, and looked at the person in front of him.

"You're a smart guy, why don't you come work for me? I can't guarantee anything else, but earning a million a year is no problem."

"The money you're holding is what I earned in two months. Do you think I'm as stupid as Qi Qiang to follow you to earn a measly one million, taking such a huge risk?"

Lu Yuan asked a question.

Zhang Meng, carrying 500,000 yuan, looked at the other person nervously and spoke up somewhat anxiously.

"You earned a million?"

He didn't believe it.

Lu Yuan pointed to himself and said, "You've already bought my stuff, don't you believe I can make that much money?"

Zhang Meng looked at the chocolates on the table and suddenly froze. He never expected that Lu Yuan would be the owner of Friendship Supermarket.

It would be a lie to say he wasn't envious of Lu Yuan; he envied Lu Yuan even more for so openly acknowledging his identity and standing confidently before him.

Zhang Meng quickly became emboldened by evil, and a sinister smile appeared on his face.

"Kid, I was originally planning to let you go, but since you've said those words, don't blame me for being ruthless. I'll take you away; I should be able to get some money from you then."

"idiot."

Lu Yuan originally thought this guy was someone important, but he didn't expect that after he revealed his identity, this guy would actually try to kidnap him and said something directly.

Qi Qiang, who was standing to the side, was stunned for a moment and then asked.

"No? Are you crazy?"

"Say it again?"

Zhang Meng had intended to take action, but to his surprise, Lu Yuan was not worried at all and even took the initiative to talk to him.

But the implication was that they looked down on him.

Zhang Meng considered himself a decent person, even if he was involved in the underworld, so he shouldn't be talked about like that.

Lu Yuan calmly looked at the person in front of him and spoke.

"I mean, have you forgotten something? The fact that I dared to come to you with money means I'm not worried at all that you'll take it away."

"Did you call the police?"

After a brief hesitation, the person in front of him finally realized something that he had completely ignored before, and now it was right in front of him.

Even though this guy had other things on his mind, he had no idea how to face Lu Yuan at this moment.

She just looked at him with a grim expression and said through gritted teeth.

"You dare call the police?"

"Now I'm the one who should be saying that."

Lu Yuan looked at the person in front of him and spoke calmly.

Qi Qiang had intended to calm the person in front of him down, but after thinking about what he had done in the past, he hurriedly spoke up, hoping that the person in front of him could calm down.

"Zhang Meng, we've been friends for so many years, at least give me some face, even if you get in..."

"Go to hell!"

Upon hearing this guy still rambling on to him, Zhang Meng slapped Qi Qiang across the face without saying a word.

They made a move to attack Lu Yuan, but Lu Yuan had already made his move first.

As he was smoking Qi Qiang, Lu Yuan grabbed the ashtray on the table and smashed it open on his head!

The cigarette ash fell in abundance, like snowflakes.

After a muffled groan.

Zhang Meng collapsed to the ground.

Qi Qiang looked at the scene before him with lingering fear. Looking at the unconscious Zhang Meng, he turned his head to look at Lu Yuan, as if he were seeing this guy for the first time. His breathing was much more rapid than before.

"No, why did you knock him out?"

"Either he beats you to death, or you get beaten to death by him. You choose."

Lu Yuan's hand holding the ashtray trembled slightly, whether from excitement or a bit of agitation, it was hard to tell.

At this moment, Qi Qiang felt like a greenhorn in front of Lu Yuan, completely at a loss as to what to do.

I have no choice but to listen to Lu Yuan no matter what.

Lu Yuan looked at him and slowly began to speak.

"Don't just stand there. It's best to tie this guy up now, so he won't deny it when he wakes up."

"Shouldn't we notify Officer Wu and the others?"

While helping Lu Yuan, Qi Qiang thought of the others waiting outside and asked them a question with some concern.

Lu Yuan gave him a smile and said with a hint of pride.

"I know what you're worried about. This is called self-defense. We'll just say you were the one who laid the hand on me, you know?"

Why not you?

Qi Qiang was stunned for a moment. The glass ashtray was really heavy, weighing about two pounds. Why would this guy have such a big ashtray for no reason?

Lu Yuan looked at him and remained silent for a moment before speaking.

"That's because I did it, so it's not self-defense."

Qi Qiang was speechless for a moment, not knowing how to refute.

They spotted him immediately, but Lu Yuan had to step in and take him down.
