A golden light flashed in Gu Yuebai's eyes, and fragments of time from this minor leader surfaced in Gu Yuebai's mind.

"Xiao Wei, should we bring a few more men? Just in case something difficult comes up, it'll be easier to handle."

"Third Master, he's just a security guard, four people are enough."

Opposite the minor leader, a short, stout middle-aged man with a large belly, holding two iron balls in his hand, walked over and opened a wooden box.

Xiao Wei glanced inside and was startled to see that it was full of guns and ammunition.

"Third Master, isn't this a bit much? This whole setup..."

Wei Laosan grabbed a pistol and looked at it with greedy eyes, as if admiring a woman.

"Let's test his skills first. That guy isn't as simple as he seems. Isn't he known as a miracle doctor? I want to see if he can save his own life."

Gu Yuebai felt a slight stinging sensation in her eyes and quickly closed them, her body swaying slightly.

Memories of time are not fragments, but a very important timeline.

No wonder he felt overwhelmed.

However, he made a new discovery. As his spiritual power increased, his time reversal skill was no longer fragments of time, but segments of images.

Gu Yuebai gave a cold snort. He pointed at Xiao Wei, the small leader, and said, "Go back and tell Wei Laosan to wait for me in the underground casino. I will come to find him."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Wei looked horrified and pointed at Gu Yuebai, "How did you know Third Master was in the underground casino?"

"You talk too much. If you don't leave, I'll snap your neck."

Xiao Wei shuddered, scrambled to his feet, pulled his two accomplices away, scooped up his accomplice from the water, and rowed away.

After those few thugs caused such a commotion, neither of them wanted to continue sightseeing. Song Lan's mind was in turmoil. Everything had started because of her. If it weren't for Hu Zhiwei, how could Gu Yuebai have been targeted by an underground gang like the Black Dragon Hall?

She looked around, pale-faced, at the chaotic state of the ship, which filled her with unease. She grabbed Gu Yuebai's arm, anxiously urging him, "Yuebai, let's go, let's leave Yuncheng. I'll go with you to the ends of the earth. The underworld is no joke. What will I do if something happens to you?"

Gu Yuebai hugged Song Lan tightly, watching the departing sail indifferently, and said firmly, "You heard it too, Wei Laosan won't let us go. This time their operation failed, next time they will send more people, they will use guns to ambush us."

He frowned, a plan already forming in his mind. "In this world, you can't be a thief for a thousand days without being on guard. Since Hu Zhiwei thinks he can use his underworld connections to kill me, then I'll show him whether his so-called underworld connections can actually kill me!"

Standing behind Gu Yuebai, Song Lan listened to his words and felt even more uneasy.

Perhaps, this is already an invisible barrier, with Hu Zhiwei standing between Gu Yuebai and Song Lan.

She secretly resented Hu Zhiwei for being a persistent ghost.

The two returned to Xishan Villa by car. That night, the air seemed slightly cool, and the hot wind blew in through the window. The two, who were tightly embracing each other, had different thoughts.

Gu Yuebai was planning her trip for tomorrow, while Song Lan was worried that Gu Yuebai might get hurt.

In Gu Yuebai's heart, he would never forget that scene in the grove, the things Hu Zhiwei and Li Siyi did in front of him.

He was not only furious at Li Siyi's heartlessness, but also at Hu Zhiwei's act of stealing his wife.

Regardless of whether Li Siyi threw herself at him or he seduced her, he would hold Hu Zhiwei responsible for this grudge.

Since Hu Zhiwei wants to use organized crime to target him, then he should take down that organized crime!

But Song Lan's heart belonged only to Gu Yuebai. This feeling gradually intensified as she spent time with him. Since Gu Yuebai left last time, she had realized that she couldn't live without him and missed him every day.

She was afraid of losing Gu Yuebai.

Or perhaps this is largely related to her ten-year unhappy marriage.

She turned around, buried her head in Gu Yuebai's chest, snuggled closer to him, and hugged him tightly, as if only in this way could she feel more at ease.

Sensing the unease in the woman's arms, Gu Yuebai gently stroked Song Lan's smooth and beautiful back. "Don't worry, everything will be fine tomorrow."

His right hand caressed Song Lan's delicate cheek and gently pecked her lips.

"Go to sleep."

Song Lan nodded gently and closed her eyes.

As the sky began to lighten and the first rays of sunlight touched the earth, Song Lan woke up. She touched the pillow beside her, but Gu Yuebai was nowhere to be seen.

She quickly got up and searched several rooms, but Gu Yuebai was nowhere to be found.

"Gu Yuebai! Where did you go? Waaah... You have to come back safely..."

Song Lan squatted on the ground, covering her face and crying.

Around 10 a.m., Gu Yuebai drove to Lanting Villa again. Wu Yueming was already waiting at the entrance, and Wang Baichuan was standing next to him.

He saw Gu Yuebai's license plate: Yun A01937, and knew he had arrived.

As soon as Gu Yuebai's car pulled up, Wang Baichuan rushed over to open the door for her, his face beaming with a smile. "Dr. Gu, it's been a long time."

"Hey, Director Wang, long time no see. Looks like you're doing pretty well these days, huh?"

"Thanks to you, Mr. Wu gave me a chance. Otherwise, who knows, I might be sweeping the streets in front of your house one day," Wang Baichuan said with a smile.

"Alright, alright, I don't even have a house yet, why would you sweep the floor for me?"

Wu Yueming pulled Gu Yuebai along, "Come on, brother, let's go upstairs. Let's have a few more drinks today. I have some good news to tell you."

The three of them went upstairs together and entered a private room. Wang Baichuan spoke to the waiter: "Bring up the best wine and food one after another."

As soon as they sat down, Wu Yueming sat next to Gu Yuebai, beaming, and said, "Wang Baichuan just received news that Hu Zhiwei has been captured at the border of Ruian City."

"He's been arrested?" Gu Yuebai was overjoyed.

Wang Baichuan sat opposite him and nodded.

Wu Yueming laughed: "Not only was he arrested, but all his money has been frozen. That kid not only evaded taxes, but he was also involved in smuggling. I heard the amount was quite substantial."

No wonder Hu Zhiwei fled. Logically speaking, after being caught evading taxes, one can still pay back the taxes and fines and be done with it. But smuggling furs is not as simple as just paying a fine.

Moreover, and most importantly, in the past, when Hu Zhiwei generated revenue for Yuncheng, some people in the Yuncheng government turned a blind eye.

But now, he has offended someone and is being relentlessly pursued by Wang Baichuan. In addition, he has Wu Yueming backing him up behind the scenes. With Wu Yueming's influence, those people in the Yuncheng government will probably have to reconsider their careers.

It's not a good thing to jeopardize your future for Hu Zhiwei.

Now that Hu Zhiwei has been arrested, everyone is kicking him while he's down. His past misdeeds have been dug up and will be investigated later.

Hu Zhiwei is doomed.
