Wilderness Romance!

As Luo Sanpao's confidant, Jin Guisheng naturally knew Dafei's strength.

Now that Dafei is guarding the door, it's almost impossible for him to slip out easily.

Although he had made some preparations before coming, those preparations were all aimed at Lu Pingchuan.

Dafei's appearance today means that this matter may be related to Master Zhao. If that's the case, then his preparations seem inadequate.

After briefly analyzing the current situation, Jin Guisheng pulled out a chair in front of him and sat down with a thud.

His gaze swept over Dafei at the door without making a sound, a trace of apprehension and solemnity flashing in his eyes, before he slowly raised his eyes and looked at Lu Pingchuan, who was sitting in the main seat.

This scene deepened his doubts.

Everyone in Qingshui County knows that Dafei is Master Zhao's most capable henchman.

Logically speaking, this seat should rightfully be his, not a young man in his twenties.

But the situation is completely different now.

The decisive and renowned Dafei willingly stood aside with his hands at his sides, respectfully and modestly guarding the side, looking every bit like a personal bodyguard.

This seemingly ordinary young man sat calmly in the main seat of the private room, his expression indifferent, exuding a composed aura of control over the entire situation.

Could this young man be of a higher status than Dafei? Jin Guisheng was secretly surprised.

He picked up his teacup, took a sip, and feigned composure: "Young man, it seems I was mistaken."

"I thought you were just a tomb raider. I never expected you to be one of Fourth Master's men. For someone your age to become a favorite of Fourth Master is truly impressive."

"Tell me, what's the matter that you went to such lengths to lure me here?"

Lu Pingchuan took out a cigarette, lit one, and then threw the cigarette pack in front of Jin Guisheng: "Boss Jin, I think you've misunderstood. I'm not one of Fourth Master's men."

"No?" Jin Guisheng clearly didn't believe Lu Pingchuan's words. His gaze swept towards Dafei at the door, and he sneered, "Alright, is it really necessary to keep hiding things at a time like this?"

Who is Dafei? In the entire Qingshui County, besides Master Zhao, who can command Dafei?

Lu Pingchuan didn't bother to explain. He curled the corners of his mouth and chuckled, "I actually just wanted to invite you to a casual meal, but since you are of such high status, I had no choice but to resort to this. I hope Boss Jin won't take offense."

Jin Guisheng let out a cold snort. Anyone with a brain would know that Lu Pingchuan had gone to great lengths to lure him here; it couldn't possibly be just for a meal.

At this moment, all he wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible.

"Alright, enough nonsense, what exactly do you want? Just say it."

Lu Pingchuan stubbed out his cigarette heavily in the ashtray: "Alright, I like straightforward people like Boss Jin. Then I'll get straight to the point."

"As far as I know, Boss Jin has been in charge of Luo Sanpao's loan business. He must have made quite a bit of money over the years, right?"

"I invited Boss Jin here today because I wanted to make some money. I don't need much, ten million will do."

Upon hearing the words "ten million," Jin Guisheng's heart skipped a beat, and a bad premonition welled up inside him.

At that moment, he happened to have ten million in illicit money in his hand. How did the other party know that?

Jin Guisheng forcibly suppressed the panic in his eyes, and a look of anger appeared on his face.

"You, surnamed Lu, have quite the nerve, actually setting your sights on me, Jin Guisheng."

"Do you think I came here unprepared? Let me tell you the truth, the people outside are all my brothers. With just one order, none of you will leave here alive."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two men Jin Guisheng brought immediately got into a fighting stance, looking ready to make a move.

In contrast, Lu Pingchuan and his companions sat motionless with relaxed smiles on their faces, completely ignoring Jin Guisheng's words.

"Boss Jin, are you referring to those dozen or so people in the lobby?"

"Dafei, open the door and let Boss Jin take a look."

Dafei raised his hand and flung open the door to the private room with a "whoosh".

Inside the hall, a dozen or so men stood densely packed together. In front of them were a dozen or so men that Jin Guisheng had arranged in advance. These men were already unconscious and were tied up and thrown on the ground.

It turned out that after leaving Hengsheng Recycling in the afternoon, Lu Pingchuan guessed that Jin Guisheng would not come alone, so he asked Dafei to come to Yuelai Hotel in advance to make arrangements.

The diners at Yuelai Restaurant were all familiar faces from the surrounding area; almost no strangers came to eat there. When Lu Pingchuan saw so many unfamiliar faces today, he concluded that these people must have been sent by Jin Guisheng.

So he had Dafei find the owner of the Yuelai Hotel and add something to the drinks of these people. After they were unconscious, he took them all into custody.

Upon seeing the scene in the hall, Jin Guisheng's expression instantly changed.

"Bang!" He slammed his hand on the table and stood up, his face full of anger: "You guys surnamed Lu, Dafei, don't push your luck!"

Dafei stepped forward and shoved Jin Guisheng into a chair.

Lu Pingchuan still wore that relaxed yet eerie smile: "Boss Jin, don't be so nervous. I just want to make some money to spend, that's all."

Jin Guisheng had a stern face and was breathing heavily.

"Hey Lu, I'm in charge of Brother Pao's loan business, but I've worked diligently all these years and haven't taken a single penny that I shouldn't have. Where would I get ten million for you?"

"Don't tell me I don't have money. Even if I did, why should I give it to you?"

"Don't forget, I'm one of Brother Pao's men. If you dare to lay a finger on me, Brother Pao won't let you get away with it."

"Jin Guisheng, as far as I know, Luo Sanpao only gives you 100,000 a month. If you haven't taken a single penny of illicit money, over the years you've only earned a few million at most."

As he spoke, Lu Pingchuan stretched out his hand, and one of his men immediately stuffed a stack of documents into it. He threw the documents in front of Jin Guisheng and continued.

"According to our investigation, you own more than a dozen properties in Qingshui County alone, and three properties in Jinghai City. All of these are worth a total of 40 million yuan."

"You also have six mistresses. The expenses for these mistresses alone amount to no less than a million yuan every month. Where did you get this money?"

"Oh, and there's Hengsheng Recycling. In just this week, they've bought gold and various luxury goods worth a full three million. You're telling me they didn't take a single penny of money they shouldn't have? Do you think I'd believe that?"

Clear and detailed transaction records, property registration documents, and luxury goods transaction records were scattered on the table. The evidence, written in black and white, was irrefutable. Every single entry precisely exposed Jin Guisheng's clean facade that he had maintained for so many years.

Jin Guisheng's pupils suddenly contracted, and his face turned ashen white in an instant. The composure and confidence he had just maintained collapsed completely.

He stared intently at the documents on the table, his fingertips trembling slightly uncontrollably, his eyes filled with disbelief and terror.

These are the secrets he kept the deepest and most tightly guarded.

He embezzled money from loan companies, laundered it through antiques and luxury goods, purchased multiple hidden properties, and supported his mistress in a life of extravagance. He did everything extremely discreetly, never leaving the slightest trace.

He never dreamed that the shady secrets he had carefully hidden for so many years would be completely exposed by this seemingly young and gentle man in front of him.
