Wilderness Romance!

Li Hu wasn't stupid. Even though Luo Sanpao had given him dozens of men before, he hadn't dared to cause trouble for Lu Pingchuan.

Now, he only has five people behind him. These five people were beaten up by Lu Pingchuan when they were washing sand. If they start a conflict now, what difference is there between them and courting death?

"Isn't this Mr. Lu? What are you doing here?"

Li Hu turned around, pretended to look at the room number, and suddenly slapped his forehead: "Look, we went to room 808, how did we end up in room 818?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu, we've come to the wrong place and have disturbed your enjoyment. We'll leave right away."

Li Hu's face was plastered with an extremely obsequious smile, his waist was slightly hunched, and his posture was extremely humble, showing none of the imposing manner he had displayed when he led his men to approach earlier.

The five henchmen behind him all had tense expressions, their heads down and not daring to look up.

The scene of being severely beaten by Lu Pingchuan at the sand washing site was still vivid in their minds. At this moment, they dared not be arrogant in the slightest. They stood frozen in place, not daring to even breathe.

Seeing this, Su Man, Bai Xue, and Huang Tianhua on the ground were completely dumbfounded.

Su Man's pupils contracted slightly, and the astonishment on her face was almost impossible to hide.

She knew Li Hu's reputation well. He had followed Luo Sanpao in Qingshui County for many years. He was ruthless and had a wide network of connections. Even ordinary wealthy merchants and local bullies had to give him some face.

He was always the one being flattered; he had never seen anyone so humble, obsequious, and subservient.

She stared blankly at Li Hu, who was bowing and smiling obsequiously, and then compared him to Lu Pingchuan, who had just been called a peasant and was now mocking her. A huge wave of emotions surged within her.

Previously, she was full of doubts and opposition, thinking that Lu Pingchuan was worthless and a scumbag, but the scene she saw at this moment completely overturned all her perceptions.

For Li Hu to be so wary and yield, Lu Pingchuan's identity and strength are far more complex than they appear.

Bai Xue, standing to the side, also stared wide-eyed, her pretty face filled with disbelief.

She had heard of Li Hu's fearsome reputation and knew he was not someone to be trifled with.

Yet this formidable man was timid and hesitant in front of Lu Pingchuan, not daring to utter a single word.

She secretly raised her eyes and looked at Lu Pingchuan, who was standing calmly beside her. Her eyes were instantly filled with deep doubt and suspicion. Who exactly was he?

What I find most unacceptable is Huang Tianhua lying on the ground.

He had just been brutally beaten by Lu Pingchuan and thrown out of the room, losing all face. He was filled with rage and was waiting for his cousin Li Hu to come and support him so he could get revenge and teach this arrogant country bumpkin a lesson.

In his mind, even if Lu Pingchuan had some skill, it was just the bravery of a brute, and he was no match for Li Hu, who had a powerful background.

The anticipated support and confrontation did not materialize.

His biggest backer was now bowing and scraping to the person who had bullied him, his attitude extremely respectful.

Huang Tianhua stood frozen on the ground, his indignation and anger completely frozen, replaced by utter bewilderment and absurdity.

The wound on my face was still throbbing, but the pain was nothing compared to the shock I was feeling at that moment.

He stared intently at Li Hu, hardly believing his eyes, and for a moment even forgot to get up and question him.

After speaking, Li Hu didn't wait for Lu Pingchuan's response. He quickly raised his hand and winked at his underlings behind him, signaling them to retreat immediately.

The group moved with perfect coordination, tiptoeing backward, their steps extremely light, afraid of making a sound and angering the menacing figure before them.

Just as everyone was about to turn and slip away, Huang Tianhua sprang up and grabbed Li Hu, who was at the very back.

"Cousin, where are you going?"

Huang Tianhua looked completely bewildered, his brows furrowed deeply, utterly unable to comprehend his cousin's act of admitting defeat.

He pointed to the still-swelling red marks on his face, his eyes brimming with intense resentment and unwillingness, and his voice unconsciously rose a fraction.

"This guy surnamed Lu is just a nobody with no background or connections. He humiliated me in public, hit me, and threw me out to embarrass me. There are so many of us here, are we afraid of just one person? Cousin, you must get justice for me today."

Li Hu has some influence in this area and has brothers under his command. If Li Hu is willing to take action, he can definitely make Lu Pingchuan suffer a lot and get back what he has suffered.

But when these words reached Li Hu's ears, they sent a chill down his spine and made his scalp tingle instantly.

Huang Tianhua was completely ignorant of his own limitations and had no idea just how terrifying Lu Pingchuan was.

"Shut up." Li Hu's face turned completely dark. He winked at Huang Tianhua, saying meaningfully, "Tianhua, I said we've gone the wrong way, so we've gone the wrong way. Hurry up and leave."

Huang Tianhua was already blinded by rage and couldn't understand his hints at all.

"Cousin, if we just let this go today, how will I ever be able to hold my head up in this area again?"

"Enough talk, come with me."

Li Hu was too lazy to waste words with him, so he pulled Huang Tianhua away.

Just as everyone was about to turn and slip away, a clear, cold voice suddenly rang out.

"etc."

Lu Pingchuan stubbed out his cigarette in the ashtray, a faint chill settling between his brows and eyes. He glanced contemptuously at Li Hu and his group, a cold smile curving his lips.

"Since you're already here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Lu Pingchuan's casual remark carried an immense sense of pressure, instantly freezing the retreating group in place, their feet seemingly nailed to the floor, unable to move.

Li Hu's heart skipped a beat, and he knew something was wrong. A cold sweat instantly broke out on his back.

He turned around stiffly, his smile becoming increasingly ingratiating, his tone increasingly respectful: "Mr. Lu, is there anything else?"

"Close the door," Lu Pingchuan shouted coldly.

Li Hu's smile froze instantly: "Mr. Lu, we really have gone to the wrong place, we..."

"What?" Lu Pingchuan's face darkened, his tone full of displeasure. "Do I have to say it again?"

Looking into Lu Pingchuan's cold eyes, all of Li Hu's words of explanation instantly stuck in his throat, and he couldn't utter a single word.

Those eyes were too calm, but the calmer they were, the more chillingly indifferent they seemed, as if if he uttered another word of nonsense, his fate would be utterly miserable.

Huang Tianhua, who was still holding back his anger, became furious when he saw Lu Pingchuan being so arrogant.

"Cousin, did you see that? This peasant is so arrogant. If you don't teach him a lesson today, who will respect you, Li Hu, in the future?"

"Shut up." Li Hu glared at Huang Tianhua, then looked at his henchmen behind him: "Close the door."
