The original owner's attention was entirely focused on making money.

Lu Chengzhou sighed: "We'll talk about it tonight. I'll have someone take you out for dinner now."

As he spoke, he gave Aisha a wink.

Aisha's hand immediately reached for her waist.

The gleaming pistol made the former manor lord shudder, and his expression became much more respectful.

"No, Mr. Lu, you didn't call me all this way just to kill me, did you?!"

Lu Chengzhou chuckled and patted him on the shoulder: "What are you thinking about? I'm a decent person, I don't do things like murder and robbery."

Looking at his smile, the people present felt a chill run down their spines.

Especially the bald bodyguard behind the former owner of the manor, who almost drew his gun on the spot.

Fortunately, reason prevailed over his physical reaction.

The former owner of the manor swallowed hard.

He wisely didn't ask any questions and simply followed Aisha.

The bodyguard was about to follow, but Lu Chengzhou stopped him.

"You don't need to go, do you? My manor has a very high level of security."

Lu Chengzhou may seem like a weak and unassuming young man, and he doesn't speak with any sharp tongue, but he still inspires fear in people.

The bodyguard gritted his teeth, snorted coldly, and sat back down.

His sensible manner pleased Lu Chengzhou.

"Tea or juice?"

"casual."

……

Reception room.

Aisha pushed open the door and shoved the former owner of the manor inside.

In this huge reception room, there was only one person sitting there, and that was Old Master Shao.

Aisha stood guard at the door, coldly watching the two meet.

For a moment, it was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The former owner of the manor frowned as he looked at the old man sitting in the wheelchair.

He was reminiscing.

Over the years, he had met so many people that he couldn't immediately recall who this elderly man was.

Grandpa Shao also frowned as he looked at him.

He was sizing him up.

He had some doubts about whether the person in front of him really did what happened back then.

Judging by his demeanor alone, the person in front of him was nothing more than a hopeless gambler, exuding an aura of corruption, but not a hint of murderous intent.

After a three-minute period of sizing each other up.

The former owner of the manor took a deep breath and tried to speak, asking, "Have we... met before?"

Do you know Shao Han?

Old Master Shao raised his head and looked at him with a deep gaze.

The hoarse voice, combined with the eerie atmosphere, was quite frightening.

"Shao Han?"

The former owner's brows furrowed even more deeply.

Who is Shao Han?

The name was completely unfamiliar to him.

The old man slammed his hand on the table, making a dull thud.

"Back then, you were the owner of this winery, managing thousands of people. Among them was a young man who always flattered you, calling you his boss and idolizing you. He would follow your lead, take a knife for you, and even kill for you..."

The original owner of the manor was even more confused.

He quickly interrupted the old man.

"Hey, wait a minute... no, you mean someone calls me boss, idolizes me, and goes out of their way for me? I can understand that, but what do you mean by taking a knife for me or killing someone for me? I'm a legitimate businessman, okay?!"

"Heh, legal? You're a gambling addict, and you're talking to me about the law?"

The old man chuckled mockingly and gave him a very disdainful look.

The former owner wiped away a bead of cold sweat: "Ah, I was talking about doing business..."

His guilty expression seemed to confirm the old man's negative impression of him.

The old man clenched his fists.

A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

"In short, this person did a lot of things for you that he should have done and things he shouldn't have done."

"You took advantage of his sincerity, and then you stuffed him into a sack and threw him into the Huangpu River!"

"How could you treat a naive and ignorant young boy like this!"

"Are you a human or an animal?"

"Heh, never mind..."

"Now, I no longer expect you to turn yourself in."

The old man sighed as he finished speaking.

He pulled a gun out of his pocket.

The bullet was chambered and aimed at the former manor lord.

"Forgiving you is Xiaohan's own business. My task is to take you to see Xiaohan!"

Before he could finish speaking, the gun had already fired.

The former manor owner was so frightened that he was completely stunned. If Aisha hadn't pulled him down, he would probably be a corpse by now.

"Holy shit, holy shit... holy shit..."

The former owner, now only able to spout off about traditional Chinese culture, came to his senses and scrambled under the table.

The old man seemed to be in a bloodthirsty rage, firing several more shots in quick succession until he ran out of bullets, at which point he began to wail loudly.

"Minor Cold!"

"Xiao Han, your father can't avenge you!"

"Your dad is useless..."

Aisha calmly walked towards the old man and knocked him unconscious with a karate chop.

Then, he glanced back at the former owner of the manor.

What a spineless man!

A mere few bullets terrified him like this.

"Get up."

"My legs are so weak, I can't get up..."

The former owner of the manor smiled bitterly, leaning on the table to stand up, his legs still trembling.

Aisha lifted him by the arm, like a lame chicken, and carried him out of the messy room.

……

A few minutes later, Lu Chengzhou formally met the former owner of the manor at the dining table.

Having experienced many big events, the former master of the manor had a relatively good recovery ability.

Now they can eat rice with gusto.

Lu Chengzhou smiled as he looked at him.

Incidentally, I learned everything that had just happened from Elsa.

"Oh, he mentioned Shao Han?"

Meng Wanyu, who was sitting across from him at the dining table, put down the steak knife in her hand.

"Shao Han, it seems, disappeared three years ago?"

The former manor owner looked frustrated: "That's the problem, I don't know any Shao Han at all!"

At this moment, his tone was very firm.

After being startled like that, not only did they remember being alive and well three years ago, but they also remembered raiding bird nests when they were kids.

The former owner of the manor was quite certain that he had never seen this person before.

“That’s right.” Meng Wanyu chuckled. “Because your manor has never employed anyone named Shao Han.”

Hearing her say that, Lu Chengzhou also felt confused.

"Since neither of our two successive heads of the manor has any connection with the Shao family, then why did the old man do this?"

Meng Wanyu shrugged and said, "Although this manor has never hired anyone named Shao Han, there was an applicant named Shao Han who came here once."

The former owner hissed.

Can this be blamed on him?

Even if the old man wanted revenge, he should have investigated the matter thoroughly before firing his gun!

"Could it be that this Shao Han made up a story for his father, claiming that he was hired by the winery and got along very well with the owner?" Lu Chengzhou casually speculated.

"Maybe," Meng Wanyu said, unsure.
