You all chase after the innocent school beauty, then I'll choose the rebellious female school b

After leaving the restroom, the two leaned against the trash can, smoking and chatting.

Lu Yuan spoke first: "Kang, your friends are really amazing, they're all talented."

Ah Kang chuckled and exhaled a puff of smoke: "Their skill isn't just limited to these江湖 (jianghu) tricks, but also..."

Just as he was about to say it, someone walked by and went into the restroom, so he swallowed the rest of his words.

Patting Lu Yuan on the shoulder, A Kang lowered his voice and said, "Brother Yuan, I know you don't think they're good people. Let me be frank, they really aren't good people, including me. But don't worry, you and Brother Zhe are brothers who are willing to share a bite with me, so I won't implicate you no matter what I do. The people who are with me will treat you like brothers, just like I do."

Lu Yuan frowned, and after confirming that no one was around, he asked, "Kang, how much have you earned over the years?"

Pineapple Bro counted on his fingers, shook his head and smiled: "There are probably around a thousand. Many are deposited in foreign banks and can't be transferred back to China."

As he spoke, he raised an eyebrow at Lu Yuan: "Brother Yuan, are you short of money? I might not be able to give you a few million, but if you need seven or eight hundred thousand, I'll definitely do it without hesitation."

Lu Yuan waved his hand to indicate that he didn't need it, and then said earnestly, "Since you've made so much money, why don't you just quit? Come back and start a small business, get married and settle down, or bring your family abroad and start a new life."

Pineapple Bro fell silent upon hearing this.

He took a deep drag on his cigarette and said slowly, "Brother Yuan, you're more capable than me. You can make money honestly, but I can't. I've already made ten million, how could I possibly stop? Even if I wanted to, would anyone let me?"

Being unable to control his own destiny is only one aspect. If he truly wanted to stop, he could certainly use his brain.

The problem is that he himself simply doesn't want to accept it.

Sometimes, making money too quickly and too easily can be addictive. If one day you could easily earn millions, and continue to earn them in the future, would you be willing to stop?

You've made ten million, don't you want to make twenty million? You've made twenty million, don't you want to make fifty million? You've already made fifty million, why don't you try making a hundred million?

Greed is like a boulder rolling down a mountain; once it starts, it cannot be stopped unless it falls to the bottom of the valley, and once it reaches the bottom, it can never climb back up.

Lu Yuan's expression was solemn.

Li Weikang is a very loyal and righteous person. In his previous life, when Lu Yuan was short of money for his business, Li Weikang gave him the money without hesitation, transferring hundreds of thousands of yuan directly without even issuing an IOU.

Therefore, in this life, Lu Yuan wants to protect him, at least to prevent him from going to jail.

He was sentenced to more than 20 years in prison. When he got out, the world had changed, and his life was over.

Pineapple Bro patted Lu Yuan on the shoulder and said with a relaxed expression, "Brother Yuan, don't worry about me. What I did wasn't as scary as you think, it was just risky. Of course, I definitely won't implicate my family and friends. And I don't think Uncle Hat will catch me in my lifetime."

"Why?" Lu Yuan didn't understand where his confidence came from.

Are they unaware of the power of the government and blindly confident?

"Because the superior of my superior's superior, that is, the person who stands at the highest point and oversees the overall situation, is not an ordinary person."

"What? How much power does the other side have? Could they be the president of America?" Lu Yuan joked.

No one can go against those who are in charge of the Heavenly Palace. Not even someone who is reborn with cheat codes.

Even if they flee abroad, there are ways to bring them back.

Pineapple Bro smiled mysteriously and whispered in Lu Yuan's ear, "I can't reveal too much, but I can tell you, this guy is incredibly powerful. His influence spans the globe; he's involved in both legitimate and illegitimate businesses. Because his influence is so vast, he gave himself a very impressive name... Caesar. It's the name of the Julius Caesar we learned about in our history books. Tell me, isn't Caesar incredibly powerful?"

"Caesar!"

Those two words pierced Lu Yuan's skull like a bullet, causing him to blurt out, "You mean... Mr. Caesar?"

"What's wrong, Brother Yuan? You know Mr. Caesar too?" Pineapple Brother was very surprised.

Lu Yuan nodded, then shook his head: "I've only heard of him, I don't know him well. Isn't he an entrepreneur? I heard he has a very good reputation in Europe."

"Hey, just kidding." Pineapple Bro waved his hand and gave a meaningful smile. "Many famous and wealthy businessmen have unspeakable secrets behind their backs. Once those secrets are made public, the whole world will tremble."

"Mr. Caesar is ostensibly a great businessman and philanthropist, but in reality, he's a cunning and ruthless manipulator. Do you know what a Pixiu is? In short, he'll eat anything and do anything as long as it makes money."

Lu Yuan wasn't surprised by this secret, but he never expected to be so close to the unassuming Mr. Caesar.

Designer Rosso has connections with Caesar.

Pineapple Brother Li Weikang is also related to him.

Or perhaps, he had indirect contact with this Mr. Caesar in his past life, and the clue to this contact was none other than Brother Pineapple, Li Weikang.

Before returning to the booth to continue drinking and having fun, Pineapple Bro told Lu Yuan a lot about what he knew about Mr. Caesar.

However, he himself had never met Mr. Caesar. He only heard these things from his superiors, who in turn heard them from their superiors, and so on, with the information being relayed layer by layer, making it a mix of truth and falsehood.

Lu Yuan couldn't help but wonder, did Pineapple Bro's imprisonment in his previous life affect Mr. Caesar?

It shouldn't have any impact. After all, the storyline involving Pineapple Bro goes through several levels before reaching Mr. Caesar. If something happens to him, the higher-ups will immediately cut off the leads, and Mr. Caesar will remain unharmed.

Lu Yuan is becoming increasingly interested in Mr. Caesar, because he has heard about this man more than once.

It goes without saying how powerful someone is who can control both the legitimate and criminal worlds internationally.

According to information revealed by Yan Weiwei, the hot female assistant of designer Rosso, Mr. Caesar seems to be in Hong Kong Island now.

I don't know if he's left or not. If he hasn't, will I have a chance to meet him?

Why meet?

Of course, it's about expanding your network.

Regardless of what Mr. Caesar actually did, the fact that he could publicly portray himself as a successful entrepreneur and philanthropist was itself a remarkable achievement in terms of connections.

Lu Yuan has always advocated cultivating personal connections.

Returning to the booth with a heavy heart, I found Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu with flushed cheeks, laughing and joking, acting like drunkards, clearly not in a good state.

Lu Yuan's heart tightened, and he quickly went over to ask, "What happened?"

"He's drunk." Gao Zhe said helplessly.

"How long have I been gone? How come you're this drunk?"

"My cocktails are really good, aren't they?" Xiao Zhu said smugly, legs crossed, holding a glass of wine in her hand. "I warned them that my cocktails have a strong aftereffect. You don't feel anything when you drink them, but once the effects kick in, they definitely won't be able to handle it."

Indeed, Lu Yuan himself was feeling a bit dizzy, which was due to the aftereffects of the alcohol.

Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu had hardly ever drunk alcohol, and having indulged in a few drinks earlier, they were naturally the most drunk.

"Lu Yuan, I saw you turn into a sheep and fly in the sky."

Ye Yixian threw herself into Lu Yuan's arms, blushing as she laughed, "So cute, I couldn't even catch you."

Lu Yuan held her and forced a smile.

Suddenly, Ye Yixian kissed him in front of everyone, and Lu Yuan was knocked down onto the sofa.

"Hahaha! Brother Yuan, your girlfriend is amazing!" Pineapple Bro and the others cheered, but for them, this kind of thing was nothing new.

Lu Yuan hugged Ye Yixian, trying to calm her down and say they could talk about it when they got home that night. But Ye Yixian wouldn't let go of him, and even tried to undo his belt.

Lu Yuan was shocked. He thought to himself: Is Ye Yixian really that bad at drinking? He's already like this after just a few drinks?

"Yixian, what's wrong?" Lu Yuan patted her face.

Ye Yixian mumbled, "I can't control myself..."

At the same time, Wang Qingyu was doing the same thing, rubbing herself haphazardly in Gao Zhe's arms, and even trying to take off her clothes in public, but fortunately Gao Zhe stopped her in time.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Zhe, hurry up and take your girlfriends to a hotel, or they'll be bored to death." Xiao Zhu lit a cigarette and said with a wicked smile.

Lu Yuan suddenly realized what was happening, looked down at Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu's wine glasses, and then looked at Xiao Zhuo with a gloomy expression.

Xiao Zhu shrugged, unconcerned: "The girls are too naive. I'll teach them a lesson."

"Snapped!"

Before she could finish speaking, a slap landed on her face, knocking the cigarette out of her mouth.

It was Pineapple Bro who did it.

Pineapple Bro roared, "You bitch, who gave you the right to use that kind of filthy stuff on Brother Yuan and Brother Zhe's women? Believe me or not, I'll cripple you!"

Xiao Zhu covered her face, her eyes reddening, and dared not say a word.

The Nine-Headed Insect and the others who were watching the commotion immediately shut up, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.

"Brother Yuan, Brother Zhe..."

Pineapple Bro looked apologetic. It was obvious that Xiao Zhu had acted on her own initiative; she was jealous that Ye Yixian and Wang Qingyu were still naive female college students, so she secretly added something to their drinks.

Lu Yuan wanted to slap Xiao Zhuo again, but Pineapple Bro stopped him: "Brother Yuan, I'm sorry, please give me some face. You two take your wives away first, and I'll bring Xiao Zhuo to apologize in person later."

With that, he escorted Lu Yuan and the other three out of the bar, hailed two taxis on the roadside, and instructed the drivers to take them to a nearby hotel.

In the car, Ye Yixian kept saying she was hot, and hugged Lu Yuan, kissing and biting him.

The driver saw this in the rearview mirror, shook his head, and sighed. Lu Yuan knew what he was thinking and quickly explained that this was his girlfriend.

Although the driver smiled and said "I understand," his expression clearly showed disbelief.

Ye Yixian was clearly drugged. If they were really a couple, would they need to be drugged?

Lu Yuan was speechless and had no choice but to admit defeat.

Fortunately, both Gao Zhe and I were there. If a girl had gone to a bar alone and encountered something like this, she would have been truly doomed.
