Wilderness Romance!

"You..." Lin Jianguo gritted his teeth, wishing he could slap the other person to death.

But he was, after all, a member of the Public Security Bureau, and he had no evidence. Even if he hated the other party, he couldn't do anything out of line.

He shoved Luo Sanpao aside, gritted his teeth, and said viciously.

"Listen to me, Luo Sanpao, you'd better behave yourself. If you dare to misbehave again, I, Lin Jianguo, will make sure you spend the rest of your life in jail. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."

"And you too." Lin Jianguo pointed at Lao Hei, Lao Bai, and Li Hu: "I will have people watching you. None of you will escape."

After saying this, Lin Jianguo turned and left the ward.

Watching Lin Jianguo's retreating figure, Luo Sanpao's smile vanished instantly. He could tell that Lin Jianguo was not joking this time.

However, there was one thing he couldn't understand: why was Lin Jianguo protecting Lu Pingchuan, who was just a peasant, so much?

Li Hu stepped forward cautiously and said, "Brother Pao, I heard that Lu Pingchuan saved Lin Jianguo's life before. With Lin Jianguo protecting him, Lu Pingchuan might not be easy to mess with."

Upon hearing this, Luo Sanpao suddenly realized why Lin Jianguo reacted so strongly; it turned out there was such a relationship between them.

"If you're not comfortable with that, let's try something else." Luo Sanpao's lips curled into a strange smile. "Lu Pingchuan, aren't you very concerned about Nie Xiaoyu? Well, I'll start with her."

Luo Sanpao beckoned to Li Hu with his finger and whispered something in his ear.

No one knows what Luo Sanpao said, but Li Hu's lips curled into a sly smile, and he couldn't help but give Luo Sanpao a thumbs up.

"Brother Pao, that move of yours was even more painful than killing Lu Pingchuan."

"Enough talk, get on with it."

Meanwhile, in Qingshui County... Old Town... Master Zhao's Mansion.

As Master Zhao was pacing back and forth in the hall, Afu strode in.

"Fourth Master, Fourth Master, there's news from Red Flag Village."

Master Zhao's expression tightened, and he quickly returned to his armchair and sat down: "A-Fu, what's the situation in Hongqi Village?"

"Fourth Master, that Lu Pingchuan is indeed formidable." Afu revealed an excited look and vividly recounted the events that had occurred in Hongqi Village to Fourth Master Zhao.

"Fourth Master, even twenty or thirty men can't do anything to Lu Pingchuan. With his help, even without weakening Luo Sanpao's power, we have a good chance to take him down."

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

Master Zhao laughed loudly, revealing a satisfied expression: "Not bad, this kid really didn't disappoint me. I not only want him to kill Luo Sanpao for me, but I also want him to become one of my men."

"Afu, the time is almost right. Immediately send Dafei to Hongqi Village and bring Lu Pingchuan here."

On the other side, Lu Pingchuan went to the supermarket at the village entrance and bought more than ten kilograms of beef bones. As soon as he turned into the alley in front of his house, he saw a car parked in front of the door, and a man standing next to the car.

His expression hardened, and he immediately quickened his pace.

Upon seeing the man's face clearly, Lu Pingchuan instantly breathed a sigh of relief.

The visitor was none other than Dafei, a capable henchman of Master Zhao.

"Mr. Lu." Da Fei quickly stepped forward and bowed slightly: "My fourth master invites you."

They arrived at just the right time. There had been no news for so many days, and Li Daniu and the others had just left when Master Zhao sent someone. It seems that he still didn't completely trust me before.

But none of that matters anymore. Since he sent Dafei over, he must have completely trusted him. As long as the other party can provide information on Luo Sanpao's confidants and lend him people, that's enough.

"Hold on."

Lu Pingchuan strode back into the courtyard and handed the beef bones to Nie Xiaoyu: "Sister Xiaoyu, thank you for stewing these beef bones. We'll give Heifeng and Huzi a treat today."

"By the way, where's my phone?"

Nie Xiaoyu took out her phone and handed it over, glancing towards the door: "Pingchuan, are you going out again?"

"Okay." Lu Pingchuan took the phone. "I have some business to attend to in the county. Just make sure you've prepared the meal; don't wait for me."

"If anything happens at home, be sure to call me immediately."

"Okay." Nie Xiaoyu nodded: "Pingchuan, those people will definitely not let this go. Be careful out there."

"It's alright, Sister Xiaoyu, I'm leaving now."

"Black Wind, Tiger, watch the house."

"Woof woof... woof woof..."

"Woof woof... woof woof..."

Twenty minutes later, Lu Pingchuan followed Dafei to Master Zhao's residence.

Inside the hall, Master Zhao sat upright in a grand chair, his brows furrowed and his face stern.

Upon seeing this, Lu Pingchuan's smile instantly froze. He sat opposite Master Zhao and said cautiously.

"Fourth Brother, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Master Zhao remained silent, his dark, murky eyes fixed on Lu Pingchuan, his gaze heavy and filled with barely suppressed anger and reproach, devoid of any of the gentleness he usually showed him.

The huge living room was eerily quiet. Dafei and Afu, who were standing to the side, both had their heads down and were subconsciously holding their breath.

Lu Pingchuan felt extremely uncomfortable under that cold, hard gaze. His relaxed body, which had been relaxed when he entered the room, instantly tensed up, and the slight smile on his face completely disappeared.

He leaned forward slightly and asked cautiously, "Fourth Brother, what's wrong?"

Zhao Siye's gaze made Lu Pingchuan's heart tremble. He had thought that the other party had invited him over to give him information on Luo Sanpao's confidants, but now it seemed that things were not so simple.

"Don't call me Fourth Brother." Master Zhao grunted, finally speaking: "Lu Pingchuan, don't you have anything to say to me? Or rather, is there anything you're hiding from me?"

"ha?"

Lu Pingchuan was slightly taken aback, completely unaware of what Master Zhao meant.

"Fourth Brother, you..."

"I told you, don't call me Fourth Brother." Master Zhao's voice rose half an octave.

"Okay, okay." Lu Pingchuan showed a helpless expression, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

"You said you wouldn't call me that before, but you insisted I do. Now that I've called you, you won't let me. I can understand women being fickle, but why are you so fickle too?"

"Fourth Master, I really don't understand what you mean."

"Just say what you want to say. I don't like beating around the bush."

Master Zhao suddenly raised his hand and slammed it heavily on the table in front of him.

"Bang."

The solid wood table trembled violently, and the teacups on it shook violently, making a clattering sound. Most of the tea spilled out, soaking Zhao Siye's sleeves. The sharp sound was particularly jarring in the deathly silent hall.

Dafei and Afu, who were standing to the side, trembled violently, lowered their heads even further, and didn't dare to breathe. The atmosphere in the entire mansion hall instantly became extremely oppressive.

Master Zhao's eyes were bloodshot, his anger almost bursting from his chest: "Lu Pingchuan, don't you know what you've done? Do I need to remind you?"

"I'm asking you, after you saved Hongying that night, where did you go? What did you do?"
