Wilderness Romance!

Upon hearing this, Dafei immediately stood up and called the waiter in from outside.

Seeing this, Li Cheng said no more.

Whether Dafei betrayed Master Zhao or Lu Pingchuan was Master Zhao's man, there's no point in dwelling on these things.

His purpose in coming today was simply to seek medical treatment for his mother.

Next, Li Cheng picked up the menu, ordered a few dishes at random, and then handed the menu to the waiter.

After the waiter left, Li Cheng spoke.

"Mr. Lu, you previously said that you would help treat my mother's illness if your requests were met. What exactly are your requests, Mr. Lu?"

Lu Pingchuan was not one to procrastinate, and seeing that Li Cheng had taken the initiative to ask the question, he no longer tried to beat around the bush.

"Li Cheng, Luo Sanpao killed my elder brother." He spoke calmly, yet each word was firm and resolute.

"I need your cooperation to take down Luo Sanpao. I'll take care of your mother's illness."

Upon hearing this, Li Cheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and a storm raged in his heart.

From the moment he saw Dafei, he was already mentally prepared, but he never expected that Lu Pingchuan and Luo Sanpao would have such a deep-seated hatred.

Moreover, Luo Sanpao is now the undisputed number one in Qingshui County, with top-tier combat power like Lao Hei and Lao Bai by his side. Even if Lu Pingchuan has Zhao Siye's help behind him, he would never be a match for Luo Sanpao.

Moreover, if Luo Sanpao falls, he will be the first to be affected, which is something Li Cheng does not want to see.

"No, absolutely not." He didn't hesitate at all and decisively rejected Lu Pingchuan's conditions.

"Mr. Lu, in the world of martial arts, morality comes first. If it weren't for Brother Pao, I, Li Cheng, wouldn't be where I am today."

"Over the years, I have accumulated tens of millions of dollars by following Brother Pao. As long as you can cure my mother's incurable disease, I will give you all of my wealth without any complaints. But there is absolutely no way I would betray Brother Pao."

To be honest, a net worth of tens of millions is an enormous fortune in a small county like Qingshui, enough for an ordinary person to live a stable and wealthy life for three generations. Such a bargaining chip is extremely tempting.

But Lu Pingchuan was not tempted at all.

In his view, let alone tens of millions of dollars, even a hundred million or a billion dollars would be far less than a fraction of his elder brother's life.

"Money?" Lu Pingchuan shook his head, his tone indifferent: "Li Cheng, no amount of money matters. You can only choose between Luo Sanpao and your mother."

Li Cheng frowned, still not giving up: "Mr. Lu, now that Brother Pao is powerful, let alone you, even if you add Master Zhao, you may not be a match for Brother Pao. Going against Brother Pao will definitely not end well. I advise you to give up this plan."

"But with this ten million, things will be different. This ten million is enough for your family to live a stable, wealthy, and worry-free life for generations. Think about it carefully, I..."

"No need to say more." Lu Pingchuan raised his hand to interrupt him: "Li Cheng, there is no room for discussion on this matter. Since you are unwilling, I am afraid I cannot help with your mother's illness."

"you......"

Li Cheng's face darkened, he gritted his teeth, and stood up abruptly: "Mr. Lu, in that case, I'll take my leave."

Seeing this, Dafei immediately became anxious.

His fists clenched suddenly, and he cast a questioning look at Lu Pingchuan.

Li Cheng was Luo Sanpao's confidant, and he worried that after the other party left, he would go to Luo Sanpao as soon as possible, and then all his efforts would be in vain.

The only safest course of action right now is to take Li Cheng down on the spot and completely block all news from reaching us tonight.

Lu Pingchuan was aware of Dafei's concerns, but he had no intention of taking action.

Although Li Cheng rejected his conditions, the fact that the other party was willing to use the entire Shen family's wealth to treat his mother's illness was enough to show that Master Zhao's information was correct and that the other party was indeed a very filial son.

He was certain that the other party would not tell Luo Sanpao about tonight's events until Li Cheng's mother's illness was cured, since no one but him could cure his mother's illness.

Seeing that Li Cheng had already reached the door of the private room, Lu Pingchuan shouted coldly.

"etc."

Li Cheng paused, a thought flashing through his mind. He mistakenly thought that Lu Pingchuan had relented and compromised, and a hint of joy instantly crossed his eyes.

"Mr. Lu, have you thought it through?" He quickly turned around and asked urgently, "If ten million isn't enough, I can add more. As long as my mother can be cured, I'm willing to pay any price."

"Snap." Lu Pingchuan lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and slowly exhaled the thin smoke, his expression calm and undisturbed.

"Mr. Li, you misunderstand. I just wanted to remind you that your mother's time is running out."

"If your mother does not receive effective treatment within three days, her condition will relapse, and the symptoms will be more dangerous and severe than before."

"If she is not treated within five days, she will develop hemoptysis, become increasingly weak, lose her appetite, and gradually decline."

"If the disease cannot be cured within seven days, your mother will be beyond saving and will eventually reach the end of her life."

Upon hearing this, a hint of worry flashed in Li Cheng's eyes. He wouldn't question Lu Pingchuan's words, but he quickly concealed that worry.

The scene of Lu Pingchuan treating his mother with acupuncture was still vivid in his mind.

In his view, as long as he could find an experienced senior TCM doctor and perform acupuncture according to Lu Pingchuan's original acupoint technique, he might be able to completely cure his mother's stubborn illness, and he didn't necessarily have to rely on Lu Pingchuan.

Thinking of this, Li Cheng's expression returned to complete calm, without a trace of anxiety.

He looked up at Lu Pingchuan, who was sitting calmly at the table, his expression composed and showing no sign of panic.

"Thank you for the reminder, Mr. Lu. Goodbye."

After saying that, he didn't linger any longer, opened the door to the private room, and strode away.

Looking at the tightly closed door, he unconsciously frowned. He turned his head to look at Lu Pingchuan, who was calm and composed, with a heart full of doubt.

"Pingchuan, you... just let him go like that? Why didn't you just arrest him?" Dafei asked, his face full of resentment. "What if he tells Luo Sanpao about this?"

"By then, Luo Sanpao's trusted men will definitely be on high alert, making our plan even more difficult."

Lu Pingchuan held a cigarette between his fingers, the thin smoke rising and blurring his features, but it couldn't hide the knowing smile in his eyes.

"Don't worry, Dafei, he'll come looking for us in a few days."

Li Cheng can refuse him now, but what will happen to this filial son Li Cheng a few days later when his mother is tormented by illness and faces death?
