I was the leader of the righteous path in high school.

Ignoring the receptionist's disapproving look, as if he were a mentally ill person, Gu Yun swaggered into the billiards hall, glancing around.

He thought about it for a moment. The other person even needed Chen Zhizhi to treat them to KTV, which showed that they didn't have many friends. So, they definitely wouldn't go to high-end places like KTV or foot massage parlors by themselves.

Staying home and playing on his phone doesn't fit the typical characteristics of a young man with a strong sense of purpose. Apart from wandering around the streets in the autumn when the weather is getting colder, which is an option he can't really do, there are only two other options left.

One was a billiards hall, where I played billiards with other young men I'd only met once.

One is an internet cafe, where I go to play games with my close friends.

Based on our last meeting, the other person should also live nearby.

And these are the only two internet cafes and billiard halls that allow minors to enter.

Between the two possibilities, Gu Yunxian chose the one with the higher probability.

Sure enough, in a corner of the billiard hall, he spotted a bright yellow blob at a glance.

Beside him were three brothers with blue, pink, and red hair, gathered around the pool table, watching the blond-haired guy play.

I must say, these four people definitely look like musicians.

The fields are cool, the waves rise, sorrow abounds, and there is a rainbow in winter.

When it comes to ending domestic bands, they are more than capable; their famous catchphrase is "We're here to end Country Love."

Gu Yun found a nearby table and set up a pool table, while simultaneously listening intently to the conversation of the four people.

These four legendary figures of solitary rock never expected that such spirited young men of their caliber would be eavesdropped on, so they spoke without any attempt to hide their conversations.

"Can I borrow a cigarette?" Red Hair held out his hand.

The three of them patted their pockets almost simultaneously: "That's all!"

"Damn it, if I don't smoke soon my mouth will taste like jelly!"

The four of them scraped together the money to play pool for two hours at the billiards hall, not to mention cigarettes; they couldn't even afford Hongtashan cigarettes.

If I stop smoking, my body will probably become immune to the temptation of nicotine and I'll be able to quit smoking.

It could be said that the reason for quitting smoking was simply because of poverty.

Red Hair cursed a few times, then looked at Yellow Hair, who was playing billiards, and said in an unfriendly tone, "Didn't you say you had a big deal coming up? Don't just think about yourself and forget about your brothers."

"I?"

The blond-haired man pointed at himself, looking somewhat bewildered.

Then, a look of displeasure crossed his face, and he slammed the white ball on the table into the hole: "Hey, don't even mention it."

"Damn it, I ran into a tough nut... Luckily, I'm quick-witted, so I escaped unscathed."

"But the money is gone, not a single penny left."

"Tch, what 'clever and quick-witted'? I was the one who put the medicine on you today." The pink-haired girl chimed in, indignant. "I bet you got beaten up and shouldn't get involved in this."

"You! How dare you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"

Upon hearing this, the blond-haired man's face flushed crimson, making him look like a boiled shrimp: "I wasn't beaten at all, I fell down on my own!"

Then the blond guy started saying things like, "You'll get fist marks if you hit your face against the wall," and "You'll get bruises if you bump your legs on the railing," and the whole table was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.

Seeing that the time was ripe, Gu Yun stepped forward and walked to their side, saying, "Hey guys, why do you guys look so familiar?"

"Who are you...?"

His feigned thoughtfulness startled the four of them. They looked at each other, wondering why his reputation had spread so far in this billiard hall.

Thinking about it carefully, it makes sense. They are the "Ding Junhui" and "O'Sullivan" of Los Angeles. Anyone who plays billiards has definitely heard of their skills.

Gu Yun couldn't recall their names either. After pretending to be nonchalant, he slapped his forehead and said, "Look at my memory, I've completely forgotten your reputations."

"How about this, these two hours are on me, and you can also use my pool table to play another game, okay?"

"Great!" came the unanimous exclamation from the four overjoyed individuals.

None of the four of them expected that they would get such a big bargain today.

I don't have much money in my pocket, so 50 yuan for two hours is really crucial.

Gu Yun merely revealed a hint of cunning, and said with a touch of deception, "However, I'm a little curious about what you were talking about earlier."

"I think I've heard about this before. Where did this happen?"

"Hey, let me tell you about this."

With flattery and substantial interest, they had already lured the four people into a trap.

Anyone with experience knows that 20 yuan is enough to get a young man to risk his life for you.

So Huang Mao shared, "Actually, it's nothing much. A girl told me to go and teach a lesson to the mistress who seduced her father."

"You know, there are too many disharmonious families in this society nowadays. After all, you gave me money and face, so I definitely have to resolve it."

"Did you go?" Gu Yun asked.

"I've gone."

When this was mentioned, Huang Mao became dejected: "I saw his father, and I also saw his mistress."

"That mistress is indeed quite attractive. Even a tough guy like me thinks she's beautiful, like a celebrity."

"Who the hell would have thought..."

Upon hearing this, Huang Mao could no longer suppress his anger and said angrily, "That mistress is out of her mind. Besides hooking up with that good-for-nothing man, she's also hooking up with a local guy who's all talk and no action."

"I have no choice, I really can't afford to offend Brother Zhuo, so..."

At this point, he realized that saying too much would lead to mistakes, so he covered his mouth to indicate that he would stop talking.

Gu Yun has finished collecting the information.

Brother Zhuo, local knives, guns, and cannons.

Is it possible that the sky over this county town could really fall?

He inquired, "Brother Zhuo? What does he do?"

"Isn't this a campaign to crack down on organized crime? How could there be such a person?"

"Oh my, you shouldn't say that."

Huang Mao quickly made a shushing gesture, and even the three Lone Rock members next to him looked conflicted and terrified.

This immediately piqued Gu Yun's curiosity even more: "So what does it do?"

"Construction. Zhuo is in charge of the new project in Los Angeles. You're probably new to this industry, so it's normal that you don't know Zhuo."

"Our boss always said that we should always bow down to Brother Zhuo and never mess with him, otherwise even he can't protect us!"

Huang Mao's words were alarmist, but Gu Yun just listened to them for fun.

However, the information inside was indeed very important, leaving Gu Yun unsure of where to begin.

Those who manage civil engineering are generally quite capable.

Moreover, judging from this, Brother Zhuo is quite powerful in the shadows, the kind of person who can handle anything.

Gu Yun found it strange that a woman of this kind of person would go to Chen Zhizhi's father.

Could it be...?

Is this the master's task?
