Wilderness Romance!

The night, like a thin layer of ink, slowly seeped into the streets and alleys of Qingshui County.

The streetlights cast a dim, yellowish glow, while the neon lights of the distant commercial street were dazzling.

Lu Pingchuan changed into a dark outfit and strode toward the neon-lit bar called "Night Fragrance".

He learned that Zhao Siye's daughter, Zhao Hongying, would come here almost every night and stay until late.

The bar's storefront wasn't large, and two of the light bulbs on the sign were broken, so the upper half of the character "香" (fragrant) was dark. From a distance, it looked more like "夜来日" (night comes to the sun).

He pushed open the door and entered. The deafening electronic drumbeats crashed into his ears, and the deep bass surged up the floor, making his chest tremble slightly.

Multicolored spotlights swept back and forth over the heads of the crowded people. The dance floor was bustling with people, screams, laughter, and the clinking of glasses, all mixed together in a chaotic mess.

The air was thick with the pungent smells of cigarettes, alcohol, and strong perfumes. Men and women passing by had to shout into each other's ears to barely make out half a sentence.

This was Lu Pingchuan's first time in a place like this, and he regretted it from the moment he entered.

The place was dimly lit and noisy, and he didn't know Zhao Hongying, so finding her was practically impossible.

But it's too late to say anything now. Since we're already here, we might as well stay and try our luck.

He looked around and finally found a quiet corner to sit down. He ordered a few beers and drank while observing the surroundings.

I had barely sat down when three girls gathered around me.

The leader had dyed his hair pink, his eyeliner was drawn long and black, his lips were painted a shiny purple, and he wore a cropped T-shirt with a silver bead pinned to his navel.

The two behind them, one with green hair and the other with blue hair, both wore heavy makeup. Their legs, slender and white, were visible beneath their short skirts, and they walked with a swaying gait, wearing sky-high heels.

The pink-haired girl sat down directly next to Lu Pingchuan, her collar wide open, revealing her fair skin. She draped her elbow over Lu Pingchuan's shoulder, tilted her head, and smiled, "Brother, all alone?"

Lu Pingchuan glanced at her but didn't say anything.

Pink Hair wasn't embarrassed at all, and gestured with her lips towards her two sisters behind her.

Green Hair immediately sat down on the other side of Lu Pingchuan, her slender hand resting directly on Lu Pingchuan's thigh and caressing it.

"Brother, what's the point of being alone? How about we have a drink with you?"

"But I can't hold my liquor, so you can't take advantage of me when I'm drunk, or I'll scream."

Although the other party did not say it explicitly, the meaning was quite clear.

Lu Pingchuan saw through them at a glance. The three of them were what people often call gold diggers, who used their beauty to lure others and then took the opportunity to steal their money.

Or they may collude with others to commit fraud using a honey trap method.

Just as he was about to refuse, a thought suddenly flashed through his mind.

He was looking for Zhao Hongying, but the bar was dimly lit and noisy. He wandered around aimlessly like a headless fly, and he might not find her even when it was dawn.

These girls often hang out in places like this; they might know Zhao Hongying.

Lu Pingchuan put his arms around their shoulders and said, "It's not impossible for me to treat you to drinks, but you have to answer one question for me."

"Brother, ask away."

Do you know Zhao Hongying?

Upon hearing the name "Zhao Hongying," the pink-haired girl's lips twitched, revealing a strange expression.

"Brother, what do you want with Zhao Hongying? You're not trying to climb the social ladder by relying on her, are you? I advise you to stay away from her and avoid getting into trouble."

"Besides, Zhao Siye's word doesn't count anymore in Qingshui County. Pao Ge's word is the real deal in Qingshui County now."

"Yeah, bro." Green Hair snuggled closer to Lu Pingchuan. "Zhao Hongying is Master Zhao's precious daughter. If you dare to touch her, Master Zhao will chop your genitals off."

"We sisters are different. We're flexible, skilled, and most importantly... safe."

Upon hearing the word "safety," Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but let out a cold laugh.

There were probably no ones more dangerous than them in the entire bar.

"Enough with the nonsense, I'm just asking if you know them or not?"

"I know him, but bro, this wine..." The pink-haired guy hesitated, wanting to say something but stopping himself.

Without further hesitation, Lu Pingchuan immediately raised his hand and called over a bar waiter.

"Brother, can we order a Power Train set?" Pink-haired guy looked at Lu Pingchuan with a questioning gaze.

Lu Pingchuan glanced at the price: 288 yuan for a set of power trains, which wasn't expensive, and nodded.

"Okay, give us a power train."

"Brother," Green Hair shook Lu Pingchuan's leg, "Can we have another bottle of Red Label? I haven't had it in ages, it's not expensive."

Blue Hair squatted down in front of Lu Pingchuan, pouting, "Brother, how about another nut snack and fruit platter? We can't just drink it all, can we?"

Although these items are relatively cheap in bars, they still add up to over a thousand yuan, and Lu Pingchuan couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

But then I thought, what does a thousand yuan matter as long as I can find Zhao Hongying?

So he gritted his teeth and agreed to their request.

Soon, the waiter brought out a set of twenty-four Power Train cigarettes, a bottle of Red Label and four bottles of Sprite, as well as nuts, snacks and a fruit platter.

Upon seeing this, the three women immediately stepped forward, each opened a bottle, and eagerly took a big gulp, revealing expressions of ecstasy.

"Awesome!" the pink-haired girl exclaimed. "It's been three months, and this is the first time I've had such a feast."

"Yeah, those old perverts before only thought about taking advantage, and were reluctant to spend their money. Unlike me, who is so generous."

As he spoke, Green Hair opened a bottle of wine and handed it to Lu Pingchuan: "Brother, after the party, my sisters and I will definitely thank you properly."

Blue Hair looked at the wine and fruit platter on the table: "This is truly a heavenly day. It would be even better if we had some soothing bags to calm our nerves."

"thump."

Lu Pingchuan took out a cigarette and threw it on the table: "Hey you three, I've given you everything you wanted. Now, can you tell me which one is Zhao Hongying?"

Pink Hair immediately picked up a cigarette and handed one to Green Hair and one to Blue Hair. He then lit it, took a deep drag, and once again showed an expression of ecstasy as he exhaled smoke.

"Brother, it's only a little past ten o'clock. Zhao Hongying won't be here until at least eleven. Let's wait a bit longer."

"Damn it!" Lu Pingchuan cursed inwardly, suddenly feeling like he had been tricked.

But since things had come to this, he had nothing more to say and could only continue to wait.

Over the next few hours, Lu Pingchuan and the three women drank together while inquiring about Zhao Hongying. During this time, the three women intentionally or unintentionally displayed their sexy side in front of Lu Pingchuan.

But every time, it was just right, which shows that the three of them are definitely veterans among veterans.

Half an hour later, with most of the wine already gone, Lu Pingchuan was getting restless.

"Hey, are you guys lying to me? It's past eleven o'clock, where's Zhao Hongying?"

"No, bro, we're not lying to you."

Pink-haired girl looked embarrassed and hurriedly explained, "Zhao Hongying comes almost every day, but sometimes she doesn't, maybe..."

Halfway through her sentence, the pink-haired girl's eyes lit up, and she pointed towards the entrance.

"Hey bro, see that red-haired girl by the door? That's Zhao Hongying."
