Experience of living in a chaotic world of demons
#573 - Private appointment
At the back door of the shop, everyone was puzzled by the closed doors and windows.
"No, they are too cautious, aren't they? They just bought something, but all the doors and windows were closed?"
After saying that, Lan Yao turned and looked at Gu Sheng.
"What should I do? It seems I can't see it anymore."
When everyone's eyes fell on Gu Sheng's face, he thought for a moment and said, "Don't worry, you guys stay here and watch, I'll go over and take a look."
After leaving these words, Gu Sheng didn't wait for their response. He just pointed his toes and sped away immediately.
Bai Yu seemed to want to say something, but as soon as he opened his hand, Gu Sheng's figure disappeared.
At the back door of the shop, Gu Sheng stood steadily on the tree.
He turned his wrist and a leaf flew out of his hand, cutting a hole in the oil paper on the window.
Gu Sheng adjusted his movements so that his eyes could just see inside through the opening.
A breath of air slowly flew out from his hand and gently stuck to the window.
Soon, their voices fell into Gu Sheng's ears.
At this time, the purple jade dagger was placed on the table. Gu Sheng took a look at it and heard Luo Qin's words.
"I want a heavily crafted dagger, and your dagger only has a few gems on it, which is far from what I want! That's how you fooled me!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo Qin hit the shopkeeper hard with the whip in his hand.
The shopkeeper was caught off guard and immediately let out a scream, then rolled to the ground.
However, Luo Qin was still not satisfied. He looked at the shopkeeper grimly and said, "You know clearly that I will use this thing at the recruitment meeting, and you still dare to treat me perfunctorily. I think you are tired of living!"
His voice suddenly became louder, and the whip in his hand fell fiercely again!
The sound of whips cracking mixed with the shopkeeper's screams made people's scalps numb.
Gu Sheng saw it and his eyes turned colder.
After a long time, Luo Qin finally stopped, but he did not take the purple jade dagger.
"Within three days, find a way to make this dagger meet my requirements, or I'll bring your head to me!"
After saying that, Luo Qin flicked his sleeves fiercely and turned away with his men.
Seeing his men scattering, Gu Sheng immediately jumped down from the tree and left first.
When Luo Qin showed up, Gu Sheng had disappeared.
In the dark, they saw Luo Qin leading his men away, but Gu Sheng was still nowhere to be seen, and Bai Yu and others became a little panicked.
"Luo Qin has left, why hasn't Gu Sheng shown up yet? Could something have happened?"
As soon as Bai Yu said this, everyone panicked.
"Is Gu Sheng really in trouble? Otherwise, you guys wait here and I'll go look for him."
Having said that, Hongmei planned to leave alone.
Seeing this, Lan Yao quickly stopped her.
"No, you can't go. Luo Qin's people haven't gone far. You can't take the risk. Otherwise, if something happens to you, Gu Sheng will definitely not let us go."
"Yes, yes, you can't go. If anyone wants to go, we have to go. There are so many of us. We can't let you two girls go. You wait here. I'll go."
After saying that, Lan Yao raised his leg and was about to leave.
At this moment, a figure fell from the sky and landed directly in front of them.
Everyone was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.
After seeing that the person coming was Gu Sheng, everyone's eyes lit up and they quickly stepped forward.
"Gu Sheng, you're back. Luo Qin's people left and haven't seen you yet. We were so worried."
Shi Lou took a step forward and looked at Gu Sheng's entire body as he spoke, fearing that he might be injured.
Gu Sheng smiled and turned in front of him.
"Don't worry, I'm not hurt. Let's talk when we get back."
Knowing that he was afraid that the walls might have ears, everyone nodded hurriedly.
Lanhua led the way in front, and everyone followed, quickly returning to Lanhua's shop.
After everyone was seated, Lanhua served tea to everyone.
"Gu Sheng, what's the situation over there? Is Luo Qin using that thing at the conference?"
"Yes, it was used in the recruitment meeting, but Luo Qin was not satisfied with this purple jade dagger. He even beat up the shopkeeper because of it."
"Ah? He even beat up the shopkeeper? Isn't that too domineering?"
After Lan Yao finished speaking, Luo Chuan nodded.
"He has been domineering since he was young, and he has always used whatever means to achieve his goals. It is precisely because of his ruthlessness that he and his mother are particularly favored by King Luo. They were also raised according to this standard, so he became like this."
After Luochuan finished speaking, Lanhua looked at him curiously.
"I noticed that you seem to know a lot about Luo Qin. Did you find out all this through your research? I have also investigated Luo Qin, but I don't know him as well as you do. You seem to have a deep understanding of his lifestyle and this person. Can I ask how you found out?"
Looking at Lanhua's curious look, Gu Sheng smiled.
"He not only knows Luo Qin, but also knows Luo Wang very well, because his name is Luo Chuan."
Lanhua was surprised to hear Luochuan's name.
"Luo Chuan? You said his name is Luo Chuan? He has the same name as the son of King Luo?"
Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.
"That's right, so no one knows these people in Luo Wangfu better than him. After all, they have lived together for so many years."
After these words were spoken, Lanhua finally reacted.
"Luo Chuan, you are the son of King Luo! Are you the son who was sent to the mountains for further studies?!"
Hearing this, Luo Chuan was a little confused.
"Send him to the mountains for further study?"
"Yes, the news released by King Luo himself said that he sent his son Luochuan to the mountains for further studies, so he was not involved in the major sects and was not assigned any soldiers."
Upon hearing this, Luochuan sneered.
"He really knows how to flatter himself. He was the one who kicked me out of the house, but he still speaks so righteously. How dare he!"
After learning the truth, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment.
Bai Yu patted Luo Chuan on the shoulder and said, "Ignore them. From now on, you are mine. Just follow me. Why do you care about them? Don't waste your time on them."
"Master, I wasted my time thinking about how to kill him!"
"I know you want to avenge your mother. Don't worry, we will help you."
After Bai Yu finished speaking, Gu Sheng also nodded: "We will definitely do what we promised you, just put your mind at ease."
After hearing what the two said, Luo Chuan finally smiled.
Lanhua said with a sob: "I didn't expect that Prince Luo was so partial. They are both sons, but he treats them so differently!"
"The reason why he treats us differently is that he is only treating our mother differently. People like him will die miserably sooner or later!"
Luo Chuan's words were so fierce that Lan Hua didn't dare to mention it again. She quickly called them and said, "I have asked my men to prepare the rooms. You have been running around for so long, go and have a rest."
After a day of running around, everyone was really tired. Hearing Lanhua's call, they returned to their rooms.
After a night's rest, everyone was awakened by the aroma of food.
When Gu Sheng went out, Lan Yao and others also woke up.
Several people looked at each other, and Shi Lou scratched his head and said, "Why is it so fragrant so early in the morning? Could it be that Lan Hua asked some restaurant to deliver the food?"
When everyone thought about it, it was indeed possible.
Smelling the fragrance as they walked into the room, everyone saw a table full of food at a glance.
"Lanhua, which restaurant is this food from? Why does it look so exquisite?"
Hearing this, Lanhua pursed her lips and smiled.
"This wasn't sent by the restaurant. I made it myself. Come and try it."
"You made all this yourself?"
When asking this question, Shi Lou's eyes widened.
"Well, come and try it."
After getting a positive answer again, Shi Lou muttered, "It seems like we are in for a treat this time."
After everyone sat down, Gu Sheng was the first to pick up his chopsticks.
The meat tastes fat but not greasy, which is indeed a testament to the craftsmanship of the chef.
Looking at him, Lanhua's eyes lit up a little.
"How is it? Is it delicious?"
“It’s delicious, fatty but not greasy, and the cooking is really good.”
“Try this again.”
Lanhua picked up a piece of food for Gu Sheng with her chopsticks and continued to look at him with bright eyes.
Gu Sheng didn’t think too much about it. He took a bite of the fish and felt its sweetness.
“It’s delicious, fresh and sweet, without any fishy smell.”
Lanhua smiled so happily after receiving praise again.
"As long as you like it."
Seeing that Lanhua's eyes were fixed on Gu Sheng, everyone looked at each other and finally their eyes fell on Hongmei's face.
Hongmei was eating with no expression on her face, and it seemed that she didn't take this matter seriously. After seeing her reaction, everyone unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.
Just as breakfast was coming to an end, someone from Orchid hurried in.
"Shopkeeper, Luo Qin has stepped up his crackdown on the owner of the jewelry store. He seems to be unable to bear it anymore and is looking for gems while preparing to retreat."
Hearing this, Lanhua subconsciously looked at Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What escape route has he prepared?"
"He packed up all the valuables in the shop. Half of the items displayed outside are worthless and half are fakes. I guess he wants to run away if he can't find the things he wants and save his life."
Touching his chin, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.
"If he dares to resist Luo Qin, it will be a good thing for us. What kind of person is this shopkeeper? Does he have any intersection with us?"
"Shopkeeper Wang is greedy by nature. He is obsessed with money. There is nothing he dare not do as long as money is paid. Our shopkeeper has some interactions with him, but they are all business-related. We don't have many private interactions."
He said, and Orchid nodded.
"This person is extremely greedy and only cares about money. If we hadn't crossed paths twice, I wouldn't have met him. Everyone on the street knows his character, and very few people are willing to get to know him."
"This is good for us, Lanhua. Can you make a private appointment with the shopkeeper in the name of business? I want to have a face-to-face meeting with him."
Understanding what he meant, Lanhua nodded.
"Sure, I can use some silver to keep him quiet so that Luo Qin won't find out. When do you want to meet?"
"The sooner the better. Luo Qin only gave him three days. We can't delay too long. It will be beneficial for us to deal with him as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll send someone to meet him right away."
Lanhua called her subordinates and said something. Her subordinates took out a small box from the inner room and then hurried away with the box.
When he saw the box, Gu Sheng understood everything.
"Lanhua, have your men do the math. I'll pay for all the money you have to pay for contact with Shopkeeper Wang."
"No, I can still afford this amount of money."
"Even if you can afford it, I won't let you pay. It's not easy for a woman like you to run a shop. There are so many of us. I can't let you pay."
After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Lan Hua wanted to say something, but before she could open her mouth, Lan Yao said with a smile: "Lan Hua, just let Gu Sheng take it. He has so much silver in his pocket that he can't spend it all. If you don't give him a chance to spend the silver, he will be drowned."
When these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help laughing, but they also agreed with Lan Yao's words.
Gu Sheng's net worth is beyond their imagination. This little money is really nothing to him, and it wouldn't matter even if it was more.
Lanhua was a little surprised to hear what everyone said.
She didn't expect that Gu Sheng, a gangster, was so rich, and to an extent she couldn't imagine.
"Okay, I'll listen to you then."
That afternoon, the people from Lanhua sent a message saying that Shopkeeper Wang was willing to meet with them in the evening, but he wanted to meet in their shop.
Knowing why he made his choice, Lanhua naturally had no objection.
Because in her opinion, her shop is indeed the safest.
After both parties finalized the agreement, everyone waited for the evening.
When it got dark, Manager Wang came over.
When he entered the door, he swaggered in, looked around, and then clicked his tongue.
"Boss Lan, your shop is not good. Everything is old. You can't make money by doing business like this. And your tree looks a little yellow, which is a big taboo for doing business. No, your furnishings here are not right either. How about you learn from me and I can teach you?"
Hearing his words, Lanhua just smiled.
"I don't care how much money the shop can make, as long as I can make a living, that's enough. Shopkeeper Wang, let's talk inside."
Lanhua made a gesture of invitation, but Shopkeeper Wang took the opportunity to hold her hand.
"Since Shopkeeper Lan invited me, I won't be polite."
Seeing his sly smile, Lanhua felt sick. She shook his hand off and said sternly, "Manager Wang, I'm here to ask you to talk about serious matters. Please be serious."
"Seriously, Shopkeeper Lan rarely invites me, how can I not be serious? Just tell me what you want to say. As long as you ask, I will do my best to help you. I am also a good person. I don't ask for much. I just want Shopkeeper Lan."
Shopkeeper Wang thought that there were only two of them here, so he spoke without any concern and even made obvious demands, which made Gu Sheng and the others all look unhappy.
Just as they were about to show up, Lanhua suddenly clapped her hands, and several figures suddenly jumped out from the dark and surrounded Shopkeeper Wang.
For a moment, he panicked.
Seeing him like this, Lanhua sneered.
"Manager Wang, I advise you to be more sensible." (End of this chapter)
