Shen Xuwen hugged him tightly and said softly, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side."
Lu Qing burst into tears: "I'm going back to Chuncheng after the New Year. How can you stay by my side forever? Your family would never agree to that."
As she spoke, she cried even more bitterly. Shen Xuwen felt a pang of sadness in his heart, and a surge of anger welled up in his throat, which he couldn't vent.
Then he suddenly remembered that Lu Yang had only told him not to target the appliance stores, so he wouldn't target those three or four appliance stores; he could target the restaurants instead.
Lu Yang owns three restaurants in the provincial capital. He's going to find someone to cause trouble for them tomorrow, making sure they go bankrupt and can never reopen.
He didn't tell Lu Qing any of this because Lu Qing's emotions were unstable at the moment, and he was afraid that Lu Qing might do something irrational.
Let him do this himself. They didn't go back to their original hotel, but went to stay at another hotel nearby.
Lu Yang was sitting at home watching TV when he suddenly remembered Shen Xuwen looking for him.
He thought for a moment and then called Brother Chen. Brother Chen answered quickly and said with a laugh, "You finally remembered to call me, you're back."
"I just got home today. When are you free so we can get together?"
Lu Yang naturally wanted to maintain the relationship when he had time, since such relationships need to be maintained constantly, otherwise they will fade over time.
Brother Chen smiled and said, "I'm free now, come over."
Lu Yang glanced at the sky. It was fine to go over now. He could go out for a drink and be back before ten o'clock.
With that in mind, he agreed and arranged to meet Brother Chen at a restaurant near the Perfume Bar.
Lu Yang also specially invited Cheng Lin. When the two arrived, Brother Chen and his two underlings had already arrived as well.
The five men sat in the restaurant, chatting and laughing. Just as they were getting into a lively conversation, one of the waiters suddenly ran up and whispered a few words to Brother Chen.
Chen Ge's expression turned somewhat strange, and he asked doubtfully, "Are you sure?"
The young man nodded: "It's confirmed. The police have already started the interrogation. It won't be long before Zhao Liuzi and his gang are implicated."
Brother Chen waved his hand and said, "Ignore them. They brought this on themselves."
"They quickly sold these things as soon as they got their hands on them, hiding them in a small hotel with lots of people coming and going, as if they were afraid that others wouldn't be able to find them."
"If Zhao Liuzi and his gang come for help, just say I'm not here."
The young man turned and ran away.
Lu Yang was somewhat surprised upon hearing this and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"
Brother Chen took a sip of his drink, sighed, and said, "The people who used to leave from here were idle all day long, always thinking about making money without putting in any effort. They would go into the old forest to hunt wild animals to exchange for money."
“Many of them were sold overseas, so I knew they weren’t going to brag.”
Lu Yang didn't have a good impression of this kind of person either, so he nodded immediately and continued drinking with Brother Chen and the others.
They were having a great time drinking, completely unaware that a bloody battle was raging outside.
Poachers are usually desperate criminals who will do anything for money.
At this point, Zhao Laoliu and his gang all wanted to find someone to take the blame, as no one wanted to go to jail.
Naturally, a dispute arose among these people. Seeing that Brother Chen was ignoring them, they immediately rallied together and began to shift blame.
After drinking for a while, Lu Yang suddenly remembered something. Around this time, a fierce battle had taken place in the provincial capital.
Two ordinary people were caught up in the shootout, resulting in two deaths and injuries.
Both of them were scholars, and their passing is a loss to the academic community.
Thinking this, Lu Yang immediately put down his wine glass and carefully recalled where the fight had taken place.
After thinking for a long time, he finally remembered Songjiang Road, that was the place.
There's a post office nearby, and the incident happened very suddenly right next to it, involving many passersby.
"What are you thinking about? You suddenly spaced out."
Chen looked at him and asked with a puzzled expression.
Lu Yang shook his head. He didn't say anything about it, since it hadn't happened, and even if he did, Brother Chen might not believe him.
He only knew the location, but forgot the exact time when it happened.
After thinking for a moment, he said, "It's nothing, I'm just a little tired from sitting on the train for two days. I'll be fine after I get back and rest."
Brother Chen was skeptical, but he could tell that Lu Yang was just giving him the runaround, so he didn't say anything more. Everyone has secrets.
The group drank until midnight, and Lu Yang and Cheng Jin staggered back home.
There were too many people staying at Lu Yang's house, so after some discussion, it was decided that Lu Yang, Cheng Lin, Lu Xing, and the Xu family's son would stay at Cheng Lin's house.
The others stayed at Lu Yang's house, only going there for meals, as they were busy with business matters on weekdays.
Lu Yang suspected a shootout was going to happen, and having no better option, he could only anonymously report it to the police and then have many people stake out the area along Songjiang Road.
If something really happens, at least he can still act bravely and prevent the tragedy from happening again.
He wasn't sure if he could really prevent the tragedy, so he could only do his best.
After finishing his business at the restaurant, he immediately headed towards Songjiang Road.
This is a relatively bustling street, especially around the time of the Lunar New Year. People come and go, and most of them have a festive smile on their face.
No one realized that a terrible incident might occur here.
About half an hour after Lu Yang finished making the call, he saw several people walking against the flow of traffic.
Judging from their gait, those men were former soldiers. They casually looked around, but clearly didn't see anything amiss.
Lu Yang hid in a corner, waiting quietly. He also hoped that because of the butterfly effect of his rebirth, this terrible incident would not happen.
But better safe than sorry, he decided to observe further.
After waiting for two days, just when Lu Yang was about to lose patience, he unexpectedly saw people arguing on the road.
The group was almost entirely men, with only one tall man among them. The woman seemed to be of a high status and was arguing fiercely with them.
However, Lu Yang was a bit far away from them, and he didn't deliberately lower his voice, so he couldn't hear what they were arguing about.
But his gut feeling told him that this group was the same one that had been involved in the shootout.
He rushed to call the police, then ran back to keep an eye on the group.
Just then, the group of people who had been arguing suddenly started fighting. Everyone around was stunned, and Lu Yang quickly shouted, "Get out of the way!"
The passersby finally came to their senses, but not many people walked away.
Chinese people love to watch a good show, and now that there's something exciting to see, they'll definitely want to join in.
Lu Yang was speechless. If he hadn't had his past life experiences, he probably would have watched too.
But he now knows that two people died in this fight in his previous life.
