Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

While Wu Defu was questioning the meaning of life, a dilapidated bread truck drove up shortly afterward.

At this moment, Wu Defu's phone screen lit up again; someone was calling.

The phone screen only lit up for a short while before the people in the bread truck noticed them and drove up to Wu Defu.

Wu Defu thought he was blocking someone's way, and his fear of death made him get up and try to move to the side.

Just then, the car window rolled down, and a man whose face was obscured by shadows spoke up: "Dean Wu, get in, I've come to pick you up!"

Wu Defu was slightly taken aback. The voice sounded familiar; it was the voice that had just called to say it was coming to see him.

Wu Defu stepped forward and asked in confusion, "Who are you? I don't think I know you!"

"Get in the car. You've caused such a big mess that you're being watched. Do you want to go in? I'll take you somewhere and you'll see!" The driver's hoarse voice was rather unpleasant to hear.

But Wu Defu didn't care about any of that at this point.

Yes, he doesn't want to go in. How can he go in? No, he can't go in!

Perhaps the driver had figured out Wu Defu's little scheme, because Wu Defu eventually opened the van door and climbed inside.

"Who sent you? Where are we going?" Wu Defu asked after calming down.

He already had a few guesses in his mind: either they were people sent by some leaders, or they were people sent by Old Chen.

Although they had a bit of a falling out at the banquet, now that this incident has happened, they must be even more anxious than he is.

They're in the same boat now; these people won't just stand by and watch him go in.

Wu Defu seemed to have seen through everything; he was probably just telling him to lay low for a while.

Once the hype surrounding this matter cools down, it should be fine, since Old Chen's network of connections is still quite effective here.

The driver casually remarked as he drove, "You'll see soon enough. Just relax and enjoy the ride. You've probably never ridden in a bread van before, have you? Be careful not to get carsick!"

When Wu Defu saw that the other party still cared about him, his doubts immediately dissipated a bit.

He was even more certain that this person was sent by Elder Chen and his group to pick him up and let him lay low for a while.

"Can I go home for a bit? I need to get something!" Wu Defu asked.

The driver remained silent for a moment, his expression blank, before finally speaking, "No need to take it. They probably won't need it there, and besides, you might be watched as soon as you get back!"

Upon hearing this, Wu Defu thought it made sense.

That's true, maybe someone from his family is already staking out the place.

Since they sent someone to pick him up, they must have already arranged everything.

"Then I'll call home!" Wu Defu took out his phone to call his wife.

The driver quickly stopped him: "No need to call. If you call now, and your whereabouts are exposed, are you sure your wife won't betray you?"

Wu Defu instantly recalled some of his wife's usual behaviors and the various rumors that had circulated about him.

Haha, I bet the first person to sell him out was his wife.

Wu Defu finally sighed, leaned back in his chair, and said nothing more.

The road ahead is uncertain, and I'm filled with anxiety!

Good heavens, this really has nothing to do with him. He just framed Li Wenlong.

Retribution shouldn't come this quickly, right?

Exhausted, Wu Defu was lost in thought in the car and paid no attention to the scenery outside.

The vehicle traveled for several tens of minutes in this manner.

Wu Defu glanced out the window, somewhat surprised: "Where are we going? Why are we in such a remote place?"

It was pitch black all around, and there wasn't a soul in sight. He hadn't paid attention to the road he was looking at, and now he couldn't tell which way was which.

But then I thought, if I want to avoid the limelight, I should definitely come to a more rural place like this.

Alas, it's a pity that I'll probably have to suffer for a while.

The driver got out of the car and opened the door for Wu Defu: "We're here, get out!"

The night breeze carried a slight chill, and the temperature here was noticeably lower than in the city.

Wu Defu rubbed his arms and complained, "What kind of place is this? Did you even bring any clothes?!"

"Yes, you go first, I'll turn on the lights for you!" the driver said.

Wu Defu, unsuspecting, continued walking forward.

The driver shook his head, pulled a baseball bat from under the seat, and swung it down without hesitation.

Wu Defu felt a numbness in his neck and shoulders and instantly lost consciousness, collapsing to the ground and unable to get up!

The driver sneered, "Hmph, what do you need clothes for? Go ahead and ask your family to burn them for you in a dream!"

The driver carried Wu Defu and walked towards a cliff not far away, which looked nearly 100 meters high from the outside.

He positioned Wu Defu in a certain position, then lifted him up forcefully, and Wu Defu "committed suicide"!

In the final moments, Wu Defu briefly regained consciousness.

Weren't they supposed to take him to safety? How could this be? No...

"boom--"

Wu Defu never expected that he would end up like this.

However, he has already drawn a period to his life's journey, and all the resentment and answers are destined to remain unknown.

The driver peeked out for a moment, then cleaned up the footprints at the scene before driving away in his minivan...

The next day.

Longjin Residential Area.

Ye Chen continued to practice his boxing early in the morning as if nothing had happened.

Dongzi was quite reliable; the alarm clock successfully woke him up.

Last night, Dongzi and Lin Rongrong stayed in the same villa, which made Dongzi so excited that he barely slept all night.

So Dongzi looked like he was stealing chickens in the middle of the night, with dark circles under his eyes.

Ye Chen exclaimed that he was spineless!

If the two of them were to sleep in the same bed, they'd be locked in a battle until dawn!

Huang Longtian arrived early today and saw Ye Chen and the others practicing their boxing, so he followed behind and started practicing as well.

"Does Ah Long come this early every day? You're so dedicated to your job, what are others supposed to do if you're so lazy?" Dongzi asked in confusion.

Huang Longtian was a little embarrassed to say, "Hehe, since I don't have a girlfriend and can't sleep in anyway, and I always see Brother Ye so early, I might as well come early and wait!"

"Great, great, you're going to take down a whole bunch of people. Being young is great!" Dongzi said, then yawned again, looking like he was suffering from kidney deficiency.

Ye Chen smiled and shook his head without saying anything.

After finishing their boxing practice, Ye Chen still reminded the two to pay attention to breathing and enjoy the fresh air.

Even without understanding the breathing techniques, that brief burst of spiritual energy is still beneficial to the body.

To be honest, Dongzi's dark circles have faded a bit, and he looks more energetic overall.

While the group rested, Lin Rongrong came over and called out, "Come and eat, everyone! I cooked some congee and side dishes!"

"You're up so early too?" Dongzi asked, looking surprised.

It's only a little past 6 a.m. now, what girl gets up this early?

"Your alarm clock went off at 5 a.m. and kept ringing for half an hour. I had no choice but to get up!" Lin Rongrong said, her face full of exasperation.

Dongzi was a little embarrassed: "Uh, hahaha, well, I, I'll turn it down a bit next time!"

"By the way, did you know that Wu Defu from Lucheng committed suicide and it even made the trending topics?" Lin Rongrong asked with a gossipy look on her face.
