The game's heroine has come true? The aloof school beauty is in tears.

Lu Yuan sighed deeply.

This sigh contained a deep sense of helplessness.

"I truly swore I would never get involved with the Five Lakes Gang again."

"It's okay, you can just grill the takoyaki here."

Huang Zhiyu feels that he has really changed a lot.

Love is not about control.

So she stopped asking whether Lu Yuan had left or not.

Love is not about taking.

Faced with difficulties, she will no longer always turn to Lu Yuan for help.

People can grow up in an instant.

"I can handle things with the Five Lakes Gang, don't worry."

Huang Zhiyu signaled to Lu Yuan to put his mind at ease.

But Lu Yuan clearly had something to say:

"What kind of genius is this? Who came up with the idea of ​​holding the dragon head ceremony three days later?"

"I...I just wanted to force Huang Feiyang to show himself. You can't guard against thieves every day."

"If I don't die, will Huang Feiyang appear?" Lu Yuan tapped the table and said very seriously, "Tell me, who is the person in this world who is most knowledgeable about faking death?"

"Huang Feiyang".

"Do you think he's afraid I'll play dead and trick him?"

"Afraid."

"Then why are you in such a hurry to hold the dragon head ceremony? The more anxious you are, the more he'll be afraid I'll scheme against him."

Huang Zhiyu's expression changed; she had never thought of this at all.

"But we just passively waited for him."

"Can't we find him unless he shows up?"

Lu Yuan pointed to the colorful signs of the betel nut shops in the distance.

He said, "Who usually controls these high-profit, fast-moving consumer goods that are paired with softcore pornography?"

"It's a gang, but the situation in the northern region is special. The Five Lakes Gang has never taken over this business since its inception because Huang Feiyang said that some big shots from outside have intervened."

"No matter how big a figure is, Huang Feiyang would have to find a way to help him get started, because the profits are too huge." Lu Yuan crossed his legs, took a sip of cola, and grinned. "But Huang Feiyang has never gotten involved in this industry, and he hasn't even thought about it."

"You mean... Huang Feiyang is the mastermind behind all these betel nut shops?"

"A cunning rabbit has three burrows, but this old man has at least five."

Lu Yuan already knew.

A person like Huang Feiyang would never be without a backup plan.

So he harassed the betel nut beauties every day.

Hearing "brother" is just a way to try something new.

If you harass someone every day, the whole thing will lose its charm.

This betel nut beauty has such a good temper.

If she had told Lu Yuan to get lost earlier, he would have stopped harassing her long ago.

The store manager's actions also meant that he had recognized Lu Yuan long ago.

Why didn't you come out and negotiate sooner?

You must know this is the Crown Prince.

Betel nut beauties are essentially in the softcore pornography industry, and have absolutely nothing to do with respectable women.

If the prince takes a fancy to the betel nut beauty in your shop, instead of just offering yourself up, you should at least talk to her and say, "This is the prince, watch your words," right?

The store manager, however, refused to say anything.

It's obvious that she doesn't want to have much interaction with the Crown Prince.

But Lu Yuan's outburst forced him to come out, because if Lu Yuan got beaten up today...

Five minutes later, the Five Lakes Gang arrived with knives. If this commotion started, the matter would never end.

"He was afraid that I would target him and dig up their past."

"Understood, I'll have someone investigate right away."

Huang Zhiyu immediately understood and prepared to make the call.

But Lu Yuan whispered something:

"Don't rush to alert them; investigate all leads together."

"Any more clues?"

"I've been to a lot of places these past few days. Did Ah-Jie send someone to protect me?"

"right."

"Didn't you ask him if he noticed anything unusual?"

Huang Zhiyu nodded; she didn't even need to make the arrangements.

Ah Jie will send someone to do it.

So she didn't really ask about it.

Lu Yuan slammed his hand on the table, saying speechlessly, "Ah Jie is an idiot too."

He continued:

"Besides Ah Jie's people, who else is watching me all the time?"

"Huang...Huang Feiyang?"

"I myself have seen many familiar faces in different scenic spots."

"It's normal for them to stare at you."

"But it's abnormal that they can keep an eye on me." Lu Yuan tilted his head and said softly, "First of all, my whereabouts are extremely unpredictable. I don't even know where I'm going next. I just go wherever I see an interesting video while scrolling through my phone. Secondly, I have people protecting me, and someone is always scouting my surroundings to see if I'm being followed."

"So how did he get his eye on you?"

Huang Zhiyu simply stopped guessing and listened to what Lu Yuan said.

"Ticketing information for the scenic area."

"Huang Feiyang also has businesses in tourist attractions?"

Huang Zhiyi gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine the more he thought about it.

"So, when you released Huang Feiyang, it wasn't just to help me overcome my inner demons?"

"Are you taking this as a cultivation novel?"

Lu Yuan's decision to let Huang Feiyang go was indeed partly to solidify Huang Zhiyu's position.

But the deeper reason comes from the words Huang Feiyang said when he begged for mercy.

"If you kill me, you won't get any of my property or assets."

If the industry were just a group from all over the country, then Lu Yuan could have obtained it with the flick of his finger.

What else is unattainable?

If we expand our thinking from this point, we can realize a very serious problem.

The Five Lakes Gang must have accumulated a great deal of wealth over the past forty years.

But why were those old traditionalists almost starving to death when Lu Yuan first arrived?

Huang Feiyang himself had considered abandoning the gang and going out of business to clean up his act.

Did he personally accumulate a large amount of wealth?

"Killing Huang Feiyang is not important at all; what's important is to uncover his assets and then kill him."

In the short time it took Lu Yuan to speak, he had almost finished a bottle of iced cola.

But in the blink of an eye, someone else replaced it for him.

She was a betel nut beauty who came to apologize.

The woman looked at Lu Yuan with a flustered expression, bowing and apologizing repeatedly.

The more arrogant she was before, the lower her neckline will be now.

"Your Highness, I'm off work now. Would you do me the honor of having dinner with me? I apologize to you."

Eating is a minor matter.

But what do you do after eating dinner in the middle of the night?

"I still prefer your rebellious side."

"Brother, you are so magnanimous."

A betel nut beauty serves countless customers a day; taking advantage of a situation to get away with something is almost muscle memory for her.

Bending over and sitting on Lu Yuan's lap is also muscle memory.

But just as she was about to sit down...

Another voice suddenly appeared:

"Let's go home tonight, okay?"

"I knew you'd come out and cause trouble."

Lu Yuan pushed the betel nut beauty aside, grabbed his iced cola, and turned to leave.

He spends every day at internet cafes with his buddies.

I don't have time to go home.

But Huang Zhiyu quickly caught up with him and reached out to take his arm.

She said, "Does not relying on my brother mean I've grown up?"

"Wait...what did you call me?"

"elder brother."

The sweet, coquettish voice came from the mouth of a mature woman, and the most amazing thing was that it didn't feel out of place at all.

"You've definitely not grown up yet."

Lu Yuan forced himself to turn his head away.

Until he heard that sweet, coquettish voice again:

"So, if I don't grow up, can I always rely on my older brother?"
