Wilderness Romance!

"Father, Mother, I'm leaving."

Nie Xiaoyu picked up the luggage that had been prepared in advance and said her final goodbye to Mr. and Mrs. Lu.

"Xiaoyu." Lu's mother's voice choked with sobs. Although Lu Pingchuan had told her that she couldn't cry now, she still couldn't help but cry.

"I won't see you off, I'm afraid it will make me uncomfortable."

"Xiao Chuan, please... please see Xiao Yu off for me."

Upon leaving the room, Lu Pingchuan immediately took out a thick envelope: "Sister Xiaoyu, I don't have much to give you, so please take this."

After yesterday's events, Nie Xiaoyu's opinion of Lu Pingchuan has changed significantly, and she no longer seems to dislike him as much as before.

"What's this?" Nie Xiaoyu took the envelope and was about to open it to check.

Lu Pingchuan reached out to stop her: "Sister Xiaoyu, don't look at it now."

"Okay." Nie Xiaoyu didn't think much of it and stuffed the envelope into her bag.

Three men stood outside the courtyard gate. The leader was a fat man with a round head like a potato just dug out of the ground. His face was so fleshy that his eyes were squeezed into slits, and the flesh on his neck rolled down in circles, stretching his shirt collar out of shape.

A gold necklace, about the thickness of a little finger, hung around her neck. The pendant was a Pixiu the size of a fist, tucked inside her collar and sandwiched between her flesh, revealing half of its ferocious face.

On her left wrist was a gleaming gold watch, its dial so large it resembled a small alarm clock, so bright it hurt the eyes in the sunlight.

They look like rich people.

Behind him, two burly men stood on his left and right.

The man on the left is in his early thirties, with a buzz cut, wearing a black tight-fitting T-shirt. His chest muscles bulge the shirt, and a dark blue tattoo is visible on his neck.

The man on the right was taller and stronger, over 1.8 meters tall, with shoulders as broad as a door panel. He was wearing a gray work jacket with the zipper undone, revealing a black vest taut over his body, with not an ounce of excess fat on his entire body.

These two are clearly trained martial artists.

Upon seeing Nie Xiaoyu, the leading man immediately plastered a greasy smile on his face. However, when he turned his gaze to Lu Pingchuan, his eyes instantly turned cold and fierce, as if he were looking at an enemy, an obstacle that needed to be eliminated.

Not only him, but the two men behind him were the same, their eyes filled with hostility as they looked at him.

Lu Pingchuan frowned, his mind filled with doubt.

He didn't know these people, so why were they looking at him like that?

Could it be that the other person is a suitor of Nie Xiaoyu and mistakenly believes that he and Nie Xiaoyu have that kind of relationship?

The thought flashed through Lu Pingchuan's mind, but he immediately pulled himself back to reality. In any case, these people were there to pick up Nie Xiaoyu, so they must be people Nie Xiaoyu trusted.

The man in the lead glanced at Lu Pingchuan, then turned his gaze back to Nie Xiaoyu, his greasy smile returning to his face.

"Xiaoyu, are you all packed?"

"Okay." Nie Xiaoyu nodded. "Let's go, Brother Pao."

"Hahahaha..." the man laughed heartily, "Come on, I'll take you home to live a good life."

The burly man on the left immediately opened the back door and gestured for the other driver to proceed.

Upon hearing the name "Pao Ge," Lu Pingchuan's expression hardened, and he stared intently at the man in the lead.

"etc."

"Are you Luo Sanpao?"

The man ignored Lu Pingchuan.

Seeing this, Lu Pingchuan stepped forward and stopped him.

"I'm asking you a question. Are you Luo Sanpao?"

The two burly men reacted quickly, and by the time Lu Pingchuan arrived in front of the man, they were already standing on either side of him.

The man's face darkened, his expression full of displeasure: "Kid, I'm in a good mood today and don't have time to bother with you. Don't worry, I'll come looking for you."

"And shut your mouth. If you dare say another word, I'll make sure your whole family suffers."

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, Lu Pingchuan knew that he was Luo Sanpao.

Therefore, the two men behind him must be the Black and White Impermanence that Li Hu mentioned.

"Pao... Brother Pao." Nie Xiaoyu shifted her body, blocking Lu Pingchuan's path. "Please don't take it to heart. I'll make him apologize to you right now."

"Lu Pingchuan, what are you doing? Apologize to Brother Pao right now!"

Lu Pingchuan stared intently at Luo Sanpao, his expression unchanging, but a layer of unyielding cold mist lingered in his eyes, like ice that had remained frozen for millennia.

"Sister Xiaoyu, you can't go with him."

"Why?" Nie Xiaoyu asked, her face full of confusion.

Upon seeing this, Lao Hei and Lao Bai's expressions tightened, and they made a move to step forward.

Luo Sanpao reached out and stopped the two of them, his face full of contempt.

Lu Pingchuan pointed at Luo Sanpao: "Sister Xiaoyu, my older brother was killed by him."

"What?"

Nie Xiaoyu's voice sounded like someone was choking her, and she froze on the spot.

She stared wide-eyed at Lu Pingchuan, then slowly turned her head to look at Luo Sanpao, her gaze shifting back and forth between the two of them several times.

"Ping...Pingchuan, didn't Pingsheng pass away in an accident? How could this be?"

"An accident?" Lu Pingchuan scoffed. "My brother used to take me fishing in the river since I was little. He's an excellent swimmer. How could he possibly drown?"

"Sister Xiaoyu, I went to the river where my brother drowned before. There was no silt or weeds in the river, and the water was only 1.5 meters deep. Even if someone who can't swim falls in, the chance of drowning is extremely low."

"You probably don't know this, but the real boss of the sand washing plant is Luo Sanpao. This information was personally told to me by Li Hu, the current person in charge of the sand washing plant. How could it be false?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Pingchuan immediately took out his phone and played the previous recording.

In the recording, Li Hu's voice trembled as he spoke.

"This was done by Brother Pao. Brother Pao took a fancy to his fiancée, Nie Xiaoyu. He originally wanted to give him a sum of money to send Nie Xiaoyu to Brother Pao's bed. Once the deed was done, Nie Xiaoyu would naturally be Brother Pao's woman."

"But Lu Pingsheng was completely unyielding. He refused the money Pao Ge offered him and wouldn't agree to be beaten up. In the end, Pao Ge got angry and killed him."

Recording has ended.

Nie Xiaoyu's face had turned deathly pale. She stood there, her lips trembling, tears falling silently down her face. She looked like a tree branch broken by the wind, teetering on the verge of collapse.

"How could this happen? How could this happen?"

"Could it really be that I caused Pingsheng's death?"

She whirled her head, her bloodshot eyes glaring fiercely at Luo Sanpao, and roared angrily, "Luo Sanpao, tell me, is this true? Did you kill Pingsheng?"
