Reborn in 1990: My Family Store Leads to the Future

As the two men were binding the unconscious Zhang Meng tightly, two people slowly walked down from upstairs.

One of them was bald, with a huge wave tattooed on his neck. He looked fierce and menacing, and was clearly not someone to be trifled with.

The remaining one was a tall, thin man with a horse-like face. Both of them stared down in astonishment, seemingly doubting whether they were seeing things.

Lu Yuan had an awkward smile on his face. He hadn't expected to run into outsiders while looking for someone here.

"I'm telling you, you've worked with him so many times, yet you don't even know how many friends he actually has."

"I really didn't know that. If I had known he was like that before, I definitely would have minded."

Qi Qiang looked at those people, seemingly lost in thought, and spoke with a flustered air.

If he had known about these people earlier, he definitely wouldn't have continued to cooperate with Zhang Meng.

The bald man stared at Zhang Meng lying on the ground, paused for a moment, and then asked.

"Old Ma, who are these two?"

"I know the one in the suit, he seems to be the fat sheep Zhang Meng mentioned. I don't really remember the other one, he looks like an outsider."

The horse-faced man paused for a moment, his gaze falling on Zhang Meng.

The main reason was that he didn't expect Zhang Meng to be taken down here. He thought the guy had drunk too much while drinking with friends, but he realized what was going on after seeing him tied up.

"Good heavens, these two are after Zhang Meng, but it looks like they're after us too."

Upon witnessing this scene, he dared not delay any longer and prepared to attack the person in front of him without any hesitation.

The two men were clearly the ones who could fight, and they immediately prepared to take action.

Qi Qiang decided without hesitation that it was best to run away first, as he did not think he could be a match for these two.

But Lu Yuan had no intention of leaving at all, and said with a smile.

"Who are you to him? Is it wrong for you to want revenge for him?"

His unpredictable actions stunned the two men who were about to make a move, mainly because they hadn't expected Lu Yuan to react this way.

Given the current situation, it would be quite surprising if people who live far away didn't travel there.

The bald man, who had originally planned to take action directly, was a little suspicious that the person in front of him might be having a mental breakdown, so he looked at Lu Yuan and asked him a question.

"Aren't you going to run!"

"Run my ass!"

Lu Yuan turned around and cursed.

Qi Qiang looked at the person in front of him with a strange expression. There was no need to doubt anything at all; the person in front of him had simply cursed him as well.

The bald man had seen many wealthy people, but he had never seen anyone as calm as Lu Yuan, who didn't even seem to have any intention of leaving.

"You've got some nerve, thinking I'd let you off the hook like this."

The bald man pulled a switchblade from his pocket; it looked like a military-grade knife, and no one knew where he got it from.

Although there is supposed to be control over knives and guns these days, the enforcement is still not strict enough. If the bald man were so inclined, he might even be able to get his hands on a hunting rifle.

Lu Yuan pointed to Zhang Meng at his feet and said, "It's not easy for anyone when you're away from home. You think I'm awful, but I don't really think much of you either. But there's no need for things to get so tense."

"Do you think this is a business discussion?"

The horse-faced man clearly hadn't expected that Lu Yuan would not only not leave, but would even choose to stay, seemingly wanting to have a serious talk with them.

This made him feel very uncomfortable, and he looked at the person in front of him with a very strange expression.

Lu Yuan looked at the person in front of him, smiled, and then spoke.

"I have a personal grudge against Zhang Meng, and I'm just trying to settle it. I don't mean to offend you. If you'd like to give me some face, I'll just take this money."

As Lu Yuan spoke, he pushed the open money box back to him.

There was a full 500,000 inside.

Qi Qiang was stunned for a moment, looking at the person in front of him with an annoyance, and was about to speak.

Lu Yuan looked at him and said.

"Shut up!"

I finally managed to fool two more people, so just don't cause me any more trouble.

The bald man, who was originally planning to take action, was stunned when he saw Lu Yuan offer money.

The horse-faced man standing nearby had his eyes gleaming and instinctively tried to put the money in his pocket, but the bald man slapped his hand away, and he finally had no choice but to let go.

Lu Yuan looked at the person in front of him and said in an annoyed tone.

"I know you think I'm exaggerating, but there are some things you can definitely bear with for now."

"Is this little money enough to save his life?"

"It works!"

A glint of greed flashed in the bald man's eyes. They had only come together for profit, and now that one less person was needed to share the money, he was naturally more than willing.

As for Zhang Meng's life or death, nothing is as important as getting this extra money.

"But Zhang Meng is also considered my brother. If you say one word, I'll have to hand him over to you, making it impossible for me to survive in the underworld."

"If you don't want to, just leave the money there."

Seeing this, Qi Qiang chimed in.

As soon as he finished speaking, the bald man's expression turned grim.

To his surprise, he was met with a kick from Lu Yuan, which made the bald man's expression improve.

"Qi Qiang, are you out of your mind? Big Brother doesn't mean he's unwilling; he wants more money!"

Lu Yuan smiled and said, "Am I right?"

"That's right, the money you're giving him isn't enough to save his life. If you want to take him away, you'll have to come up with more money."

"Sure, but I didn't bring that much money with me this time. If you trust me, why don't you let me go back and get the money?"

Faced with the bald man's request, Lu Yuan agreed without hesitation, then looked at the man in front of him, waiting for him to release the man.

The bald man sighed helplessly.

"I thought you were a smart man, but how come you're so dense? Zhang Meng is my brother. If this money isn't enough, you'll pay with your life!"

As he spoke, the horse-faced man next to him raised his hand and pressed Qi Qiang down, saying with a smile.

"You saw it in the movie, right? You think you can just take this money and expect me to let you go? If you call the police, I'll never have a peaceful life again."

Seeing this, Lu Yuan put on an "I knew it" look and looked at the bald man with a helpless expression.

"How come you're just like him? Do you even know why he collapsed? It was because he talked too much."

"Kid, stop trying to pull any tricks."

The bald man's face darkened, and he looked at the person in front of him, about to speak.

Suddenly, the villa's gate was kicked open, and more than a dozen police officers rushed in.

The bald man, who was about to get up, was pressed to the ground, while the horse-faced man was kicked down and before he could get up, a dark gun barrel was pointed at him.
