He got out of the car, looked around to make sure no one was around, and then went into the bar.

Lu Xingzhou followed closely behind and went inside.

As soon as he entered the bar, a pungent smell made Lu Xingzhou frown slightly.

This is the taste of D-grade!

He had the opportunity to learn some relevant knowledge while he was abroad.

The bar was in a very hidden location; if he hadn't followed Shen, he would never have been able to find it.

Therefore, this place is probably a gathering place for many drug addicts.

What is Chenlai doing here?

Could he have been poisoned as well?

As soon as the idea came out, Lu Xingzhou immediately cut it off.

He couldn't imagine that possibility.

He couldn't imagine that his lover, who once stood in the sunlight, had become a stinking rat in the gutter.

So, after Shen was led into the private room by several men, she ordered a few drinks by herself, casually opened a booth, and sat down alone.

He wanted to wait until he sank out, but he couldn't attract attention.

This is the simplest and most direct method.

As usual, the bar owner came out to inspect the area. Seeing that Lu Xingzhou was alone, he immediately approached him with a cheerful smile and tried to sell him something: "Young man, I've never seen you before. Is this your first time here? Would you like me to recommend a few dishes to you..."

"No need, I'm waiting for my friend."

The boss persisted: "Young man, everyone here is the same. Don't be shy, and don't make excuses. Your friend is..."

"The Boat of Contemplation".

Upon hearing the name, the boss's pupils dilated involuntarily.

It was as if a lowly seventh-rank official had accidentally bumped into the emperor; he instantly fell silent, not daring to utter another word.

"Oh, so you're Brother Chen's friend. Then I won't bother you any longer. Please make yourself at home. I'll bring you two more fruit platters."

With that, she walked away and quietly instructed the waiter to take good care of Lu Xingzhou.

However, the more enthusiastic the waiter was, the colder Lu Xingzhou's heart became.

How long has this been going on? His authority here is so great that even mentioning his name is frightening.

Lu Xingzhou was afraid that something might have been mixed into the wine or fruit platter, so he just waited without eating or drinking.

Two hours later, Shen Cai emerged surrounded by a crowd.

The three or four thugs following behind him were all filled with admiration, praising his achievements.

"That's why you have to go to Brother Chen to do business. Look, our new high-quality goods sold for a high price. It was worth all the hard work of the brothers!"

"Yes, Brother Shen is really amazing. I'll treat Brother Shen to a drink."

"Where are you so great? You guys are just too stupid," Shen replied jokingly.

The familiar tone sounded strangely unfamiliar to Lu Xingzhou.

It felt as if someone had put me in an ice cellar; I was freezing cold all over.

Finally, he stepped out and stood in front of Shen Lu as he passed the bar.

When I saw this person's face again, my eyes turned red.

After hesitating for a long time, she didn't call his name again.

The grievance and confusion in his eyes were like a deadly blade, impossible to ignore.

The thug on Shen's left was the first to speak: "Brother Shen, is this your friend?"

Chen: "No, I don't know him. He might be under the influence of drugs and have mistaken me for someone else. Don't get involved with him, it'll only cause trouble."

The man's expression remained unchanged, making him seem like a complete stranger. He walked past Lu Xingzhou and headed straight to the side.

But the thug still noticed something was wrong.

They're in a dangerous business, and they can't afford to make any mistakes.

He stopped in his tracks, took a white paper package out of his pocket, and handed it to Lu Xingzhou: "Young man, you look unfamiliar. Are you new here? This is for you."

"Our new research is amazing; you can't buy it with money right now. Want to take a puff?"

Lu Xingzhou lowered his eyes, staring at the white paper package in front of him, a hint of murderous intent hard to conceal appearing in his eyes.

A hand slowly reached behind the tuxedo, seemingly to grab a gun.

He could tell that the thug was testing him, but he would never touch that disgusting thing.

If we're exposed today, there might really be a bloody battle.

Well, he's had his gun license for three years now, and the gun hasn't been used in a long time.

However, just as his hand was about to touch the gun, Shen suddenly took the paper package from the thug's hand.

He coldly rebuked, "The boss worked so hard to develop this new product, and you're just giving it to a stranger like this? Be careful, or I'll tell on you."
