Lu Chengwen's villa, small lounge area.
Lu Chengwen, Long Aotian, and Zhao Ritian sat in a triangle again, looking at each other.
Lu Chengwen gave them each a cigar and lit one for himself.
"I need to go to the provincial capital, it will probably take a few days. During this time, you two are not allowed to fight, ok?"
Long Aotian instantly became alert: "What are you going to the provincial capital for?"
Lu Chengwen was stunned: "Senior Apprentice-Brother, I'm a businessman, I have a company in the provincial capital. Of course I'm going to the provincial capital for work!"
Long Aotian nodded: "Coincidentally, I also need to go to the provincial capital recently."
Lu Chengwen narrowed his eyes: "What are you going to the provincial capital for?"
Long Aotian thought for a moment: "Tourism, to relax."
"Haha!" Zhao Ritian said: "I'm going to the provincial capital too!"
The two looked at him together. Lu Chengwen had a very bad premonition.
"What are you going to the provincial capital for?"
"I have a fiancée in the provincial capital, I want to go on a blind date."
The three of them each harbored their own secrets.
Lu Chengwen narrowed his eyes and raised his chin: "You two, are you really going for tourism and a blind date?"
Long Aotian also narrowed his eyes, looking at the two guys opposite him: "I'm going for tourism anyway, I don't know about you guys!"
Zhao Ritian laughed loudly: "A real man doesn't change his name whether sitting or standing, I am going on a blind date!"
Lu Chengwen said: "The three of us are actually all big shots. Of course, I can't compare with you two. One is the founding disciple of the Yan Zhao Sect, and the other is a hero of the martial world with high martial arts skills and three stunningly beautiful masters."
Long Aotian and Zhao Ritian were both very proud.
"Since we are big shots, we must have the character and arrogance of big shots."
Lu Chengwen said: "That is to say what you mean, no need to hide anything, right?"
Long Aotian said: "What am I hiding? I'm going to the provincial capital just for tourism. Many things haven't gone well for me recently, I want to go out and relax, you suspect this too?"
Zhao Ritian also said: "I'm really going on a blind date. It's too difficult to pursue Xu Xuejiao in Snow City, I'll switch to an easier target first. If I lie, may I be struck by lightning!"
The two looked at Lu Chengwen.
"Are you... really going... to talk business?"
Lu Chengwen smiled: "Is there anything fake about this? Why would I lie to you about talking business?"
Lu Chengwen raised his right hand and pressed his left hand over his heart: "I, Lu Chengwen, solemnly declare here that I am going to the provincial capital to talk business. I guarantee it with my personality!"
Long Aotian also raised his right hand and pressed his left hand over his heart: "I, Long Aotian, guarantee with my future that I am going to the provincial capital for tourism!"
Zhao Ritian also raised his right hand and pressed his left hand over his heart: "I, Zhao Ritian, guarantee with the family jewels of you two..."
The other two roared together: "Use your own!"
Zhao Ritian was a little dissatisfied: "Fine. I, Zhao Ritian, guarantee with my own family jewels that I am going on a blind date, absolutely no lying."
Lu Chengwen laughed: "Actually, it's good for us all to go out and relax. What's the point of gathering in Snow City? Anyway, I'm definitely going to talk business. There's no need to lie about such a trivial matter. I'm not born to lie! I'm not that kind of person!"
Long Aotian also said: "Exactly, exactly. As for me, I really feel tired and want to go out to relax, play around, and change my mood. If I have to lie even about this, wouldn't I be exhausted? I care very much about my future. Since I guaranteed it with my future, I absolutely won't lie to deceive people."
Zhao Ritian also said: "Between brothers, what is the most important thing? Sincerity! Honesty! Coincidentally, I am an honest person, I really have an engagement! I wish Brother Chengwen success in your work, and wish Brother Long a pleasant trip!"
Lu Chengwen and Long Aotian also cupped their fists together: "We also wish Brother a successful blind date!"
All three made guarantees and started laughing while looking at each other.
"Hahaha, two brothers?" Lu Chengwen said with a smile: "Then... safe travels?"
Long Aotian stood up and said with a smile: "No need to see us off, see you when we return from the provincial capital."
Zhao Ritian also learned to be cunning. He thought for a moment and laughed: "Good, good, good. Maybe when we come back from the provincial capital, with a change of mood, our relationship will also ease up a bit!"
"Hahahaha..."
The three shook hands with each other and laughed loudly.
"Farewell!"
"Take care!"
...
After sending off the two plagues, Lu Chengwen came to a guest room.
Zhang Shen'er was sleeping soundly.
As soon as Lu Chengwen entered, she seemed to sense something and woke up.
"Hmm? How did I get here?"
"Oh, seeing a few people grabbing you into a car, I... stopped them and saved you."
Zhang Shen'er quickly sat up nervously, pulling the blanket to cover her body.
"You're wearing clothes, what are you nervous about? If I wanted to bully you, I would have done it already."
Zhang Shen'er lowered her head: "Thank you."
"You're welcome. I'll ask Meishao to make some food later. After you eat, let Zhao Gang take you home."
Zhang Shen'er looked out the window: "No need, I can go back by myself."
Lu Chengwen nodded: "Okay, then help yourself, I'm going to get busy."
"Hey!"
Zhang Shen'er called out to Lu Chengwen, but then realized she didn't seem to know what to say.
"What is it?"
"N-nothing." Zhang Shen'er seemed to be in a very bad mood: "Can you... talk with me for a bit?"
"I'm very busy."
Zhang Shen'er smiled awkwardly: "Oh, then... then it's fine."
...
The work here was almost all presided over by Leng Qingqiu. Xu Xuejiao was currently focusing on the construction of the new laboratory of Houde Group.
Chen Mengyun was in the provincial capital, so he could drop by to see her on the way.
Taking Hua Xuening and Qi Meishao, they flew directly to the provincial capital by helicopter.
Then driving the car sent by Chen Mengyun's people, the five of them drove towards the suburbs.
The location of the Zhang family was unique. It was said to be the provincial capital, but in fact, it was at the junction of a city and the provincial capital.
It was a suburb within a suburb, almost beyond the boundary of the provincial capital.
The concrete road was very narrow, and they had to be very careful when passing big trucks in many places.
Lu Chengwen sat in the back row with his arm around Qi Meishao. Hua Xuening sat in the passenger seat, and Zhao Gang drove.
Little Monkey sat in the third row, very well-behaved.
Lu Chengwen said: "When we get to the villa, Zhao Gang, you are responsible for taking care of Little Monkey. There is a resort nearby, take her to play. As soon as you receive a message, pick me up immediately, and we will leave here quickly."
"Yes, CEO Lu."
"Xuening, did Shiyin send you a message?"
"No."
Lu Chengwen was suspicious:
[Could Senior Apprentice-Brother really be going to the provincial capital for tourism? Am I overthinking it?]
[No wonder, things haven't been going well for him lately, and Zhao Ritian has a foul mouth, picking fights every day.]
[It's reasonable to want to come out and hide, to change his mood.]
[Besides, he guaranteed it with his future, he definitely wouldn't lie, right? He doesn't care about other things, but he cares very much about his future.]
Ahead, a car blocked the way horizontally. Zhao Gang's car couldn't pass.
Zhao Gang honked the horn for a long time, and a person got out of the other car.
Dressed in a black suit, keeping a straight face, looking very serious.
Zhao Gang lost his temper: "Damn it, a bunch of bastards who don't know how to drive! CEO Lu, you guys sit tight, I'll handle him."
But when Little Monkey in the last row saw that person, her brows furrowed tightly, her eyes fierce.
Zhao Gang picked up a baseball bat and pointed at that person: "Do you fucking know how to drive? Such a narrow road and you block the middle with your car, do you want to die!? Move it quickly! Scram! Or I won't be polite!"
That person reached out a hand and knocked Zhao Gang out with one move.
The few people in the car were very surprised and quickly pushed the doors open to get out.
Lu Chengwen walked up to him: "Friend, what does this mean?"
The man in black pointed at Little Monkey in the car: "Hand her over, and we'll give you a way to live."
Lu Chengwen was startled. He looked back and saw that Little Monkey was obviously very scared, extremely scared.
Lu Chengwen frowned tightly: "You know her?"
"Sort of."
Lu Chengwen smiled: "She is my sister."
"Nonsense."
"Whether you believe it or not, she is my sister now. How about this, you tell me about her, I'll analyze it. If I think it's reasonable, I'll let you take her away."
Lu Chengwen was fishing for information, wanting to know Little Monkey's background from him.
If the information revealed by this person was useful, he would most likely know Little Monkey's origin, her family, her background, and why she ended up as a beggar and suffered such severe mental trauma.
However, the man in black simply said calmly: "You are not worthy to ask. Hand over the person, and you can scram."
Lu Chengwen narrowed his eyes and glanced inside the car.
The driver didn't get out, and there seemed to be a man sitting in the back row.
Lu Chengwen smiled: "If I guessed correctly, the person in the car is the one who calls the shots, right? Let him come down, I don't negotiate with lackeys."
The man in black said: "Last chance. Hand over the person, scram. Otherwise, die."
Lu Chengwen said: "Brother, do you know who you are talking to right now? Maybe you don't know, my surname is Lu, my name is..."
"Lu Chengwen, President of the Great Sage Group in Snow City." The man in black said: "I know you, you don't know me. Hand over that girl, and the few of you can live."
Lu Chengwen felt very bad in his heart.
This group of guys came prepared. They knew his identity. It seemed they had been investigating him for some time before choosing to strike here.
In this case, the situation was dangerous.
Lu Chengwen laughed: "Hahaha! So that's how it is. Good, good, good, it doesn't matter, we can talk slowly if there's something. How about this, you tell me, what are you taking my sister away for, okay? After getting along for so long, there will be feelings! You won't hurt her, will you?"
Lu Chengwen looked back and gave Qi Meishao a look, signaling her to go back and drive Little Monkey away first.
Qi Meishao slowly retreated, but that man suddenly rushed past Lu Chengwen.
Lu Chengwen wanted to stop him, but couldn't, not even touching the opponent's clothes.
Hua Xuening blocked the man for an instant, but was directly sent flying with one move.
The man instantly grabbed Qi Meishao and sealed her acupuncture points.
Turning around, he looked at Lu Chengwen: "Playing tricks is useless."
Lu Chengwen didn't expect that his two great combat guards would be defeated by one person in an instant.
Strength... is the disparity this great?
At this moment, the rear door of that car opened.
A pair of exquisite leather shoes stepped out first, and a tall and thin man in a suit stood out.
Keeping a straight face: "Grab Little Monkey, take her back to bleed her."
