Wilderness Romance!

At this moment, Lu Pingchuan was extremely panicked, and his back was already covered in a layer of cold sweat.

After all, Zhao Si was once the king of the underworld in Qingshui County. Anyone who could sit in that position must be ruthless and cunning.

Just now, he actually called Zhao Si a villain in front of him. Anyone would be flustered in that situation.

But he knew that if he still wanted to cooperate with Zhao Si and use Zhao Si to eliminate Luo Sanpao, he absolutely could not back down at this time.

Showing any sign of cowardice will only make the other party look down on you, and any further cooperation will be out of the question.

Am I wrong?

Lu Pingchuan suddenly stood up, his voice rising half an octave: "I saved Hongying, and you not only don't treat me with courtesy, but you also doubt me and even detain me here. Isn't this the behavior of a despicable person?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air in the room instantly became deathly still.

Afu's face was ashen, his fists clenched so tightly they cracked. In Qingshui County, no one dared to utter a single disrespectful word in front of Fourth Master, let alone openly contradict or criticize him.

He turned his gaze to Master Zhao, seemingly waiting for his instructions. As long as Master Zhao gave the order, he would not hesitate to step forward and cripple this arrogant brat.

Master Zhao stared intently at Lu Pingchuan for a good ten seconds before suddenly laughing. But the laugh was icy cold, devoid of any warmth, and sent chills down one's spine.

"Lu Pingchuan, you really have audacity. It's been years since anyone spoke to me like that. Aren't you afraid I'll kill you?"

"I'm afraid, of course I'm afraid."

Lu Pingchuan's chest heaved slightly as he forcefully suppressed the turmoil surging within him. Facing the other party's oppressive aura, he spoke each word clearly.

"But Fourth Master, since arriving here, I've never made any demands of you. What reason do you have to kill me? Just based on your baseless speculation?"

"Ha ha ha ha......"

Master Zhao laughed loudly, turned around and sat down in the armchair, saying confidently, "Lu Pingchuan, I've been wandering the martial world for so many years, I can say I've seen countless people. Do you really think I can't see through you?"

"Although I don't know what your purpose is in getting close to Hongying, I do know that you're not telling the truth."

"I just gave you the villa and the check, and you were clearly tempted, but you didn't accept them. Why? Were you trying to make a good impression so we could continue with our plans?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Pingchuan's heart skipped a beat.

No wonder Zhao Si was able to get this position; it turns out that his little schemes had been completely figured out by the other party.

It seems that experience truly matters.

As he pondered, Zhao Siye's voice rang in his ears again: "Alright, Lu Pingchuan, can you tell the truth now?"

"For the sake of saving Hongying, I promise you, as long as you tell the truth, no matter what your purpose is, I will spare your life."

Lu Pingchuan knew that no matter what he said now, Zhao Si would not easily believe him, so it was better not to say anything at all.

He slowly sat down, picked up the teacup in front of him, took a sip, and said unhurriedly, "Prejudice in people's hearts is a mountain. Since Fourth Master has already concluded that I have other purposes, there's no use in me saying anything more."

"With your abilities, Fourth Master, you should be able to find out my background very quickly. Then, the truth will naturally come out."

Master Zhao tapped the edge of the mahogany table lightly with his fingertips, making a "thump-thump" sound that echoed like a death knell in the silent hall.

"Lu Pingchuan, once I find out the truth, things will be much more difficult to resolve."

Lu Pingchuan chuckled lightly, without saying a word, but his meaning was clear: go ahead and investigate.

In fact, while Lu Pingchuan and his group were still at the hotel, Dafei had already told Master Zhao about his identity. Master Zhao immediately arranged for people to investigate Lu Pingchuan's background, but there are still no results.

The hall fell silent again, and as time went by, the atmosphere became increasingly oppressive.

Just then, Afu's phone rang.

He took out his phone, glanced at it, quickly retreated to a secluded corner, and answered the call.

After hanging up the phone, Afu gave Lu Pingchuan a cold look, then went to Zhao Siye's side, leaned down, and whispered something in Zhao Siye's ear.

Master Zhao's hands were on the armrests of the armchair. At first, they were relaxed, but as Ah Fu spoke, his fingers suddenly tightened and his face gradually darkened.

After finishing his report, Afu stood to the side with his hands at his sides, his eyes filled with ruthlessness and fear.

Master Zhao slowly stood up, staring intently at Lu Pingchuan with a terrifyingly gloomy gaze.

"Lu Pingchuan, a 27-year-old from Hongqi Village, Qingshui County, was a student at the Municipal Medical University. Five years ago, he was imprisoned for five years for causing an accident while driving without a license. He was just released a few days ago. Am I correct?"

"That's right." Lu Pingchuan nodded, then frowned and said, "Now that Fourth Master has investigated my background thoroughly, he must know why I saved Hongying, right?"

"What are you doing here?"

Lu Pingchuan was filled with doubt. He really didn't understand why, after investigating him, Master Zhao not only didn't greet him with a smile as he had expected, but instead seemed even angrier.

"Lu Pingchuan." Master Zhao's lips twitched upwards, but there was no warmth in his eyes.

"You really won't give up until you're completely cornered. I'll give you one more chance since you haven't hurt Hongying yet. Tell me your purpose, or you won't leave here alive today."

As soon as he finished speaking, the men in black at the door immediately entered the house and surrounded Lu Pingchuan.

???

Lu Pingchuan was completely dumbfounded.

What's going on? Isn't the saying "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"? Is this even true?

"Fourth Master," Lu Pingchuan's smile vanished instantly, "I really don't understand what you mean. Could you please explain yourself clearly?"

"Fine, then I'll let you die knowing why."

Master Zhao gritted his teeth and said angrily, "Before you were released from prison, Luo Sanpao had never been to Hongqi Village, but in just a few days after your release, Luo Sanpao went to Hongqi Village twice, and both times he went to your house, Lu Pingchuan's house."

"Immediately afterwards, his men harassed Hongying at the Night Fragrance Bar, and you just happened to show up at that time and rescued Hongying from Luo Sanpao's many henchmen. Tell me, is that right?"

"this......"

Lu Pingchuan was even more bewildered.

Zhao Siye's words were all true. If we look at these things alone, it seems to make sense. But what happened after Luo Sanpao went to Hongqi Village?

Which bastard investigated this? This is practically setting me up for disaster!

Lu Pingchuan mentally cursed the person who investigated the information.

"Fourth Master, Luo Sanpao did indeed go to Hongqi Village, and I did see him, but..."

"Good that you admit it." With a "whoosh," Fourth Master Zhao pulled a pistol from under the cabinet, the dark muzzle pressed directly against Lu Pingchuan's forehead: "Tell me, what exactly is Luo Sanpao's purpose in sending you here?"
