"Oh?" Lu Chengwen asked innocently, "Is there any hope for Huan'er?"

"Sigh, it's difficult, but anything is possible. I mean... I'm wondering... will there be any... unforeseen changes on Tianzhu's side?"

“Oh, no problem over there.” Lu Chengwen said seriously, “My brother is more capable than me, but the key thing is, he has no sense of morality.”

"Huh? Really?"

"Yes, they only care about money, not people."

"My God."

Lu Chengwen covered his mouth with one hand: "He caused millions of people to lose their jobs, and his pockets bulged. He reaped more than 100 billion dollars in one go! More than 100 billion dollars! In US dollars! My little bit of money is just a drop in the ocean in his eyes. He doesn't care how others die, he only cares about whether he makes money or not."

"That kind of person?"

"Exactly! I've tried to reason with him, but he won't listen. He even said that's how business is, and no one in that position can be a philanthropist. Listen to that! Is that what a good person would say?"

"Well... it's not entirely his fault. That's just how things are. If he didn't do it, someone else would."

"He keeps trying to cooperate with me to establish a financial channel. I'm about to lose my life, why would I cooperate with him? By the way, I need to tell him right away that I'm not getting involved in that matter anymore, so he can find another partner as soon as possible."

Jiang Yuanzheng grabbed Lu Chengwen's wrist: "We have to cooperate! It's a matter of life and death, your fourth uncle will think of a way for you."

"But Fourth Uncle, I owe you so much."

Jiang Yuanzheng looked at him with a mixture of doting and reproach: "Who told me to owe you! Who told us to get along so well, father and son! I'd rather lend you a hand than just watch you make a fool of yourself."

"But...Grandpa Jiang is furious!"

"Grandpa! You've had your fun with your daughter, and now you're having fun with your granddaughter. Anyone would be furious in that situation. But after a while, calm down, accept reality, and it'll be fine. You already have your own child. Even if he doesn't look at you or Yuan Shu, he'll still have to look at this little one!"

"But... Uncle must hate me to death too."

"You saved the monkey's life! Without you, his daughter would have died long ago! Others might get angry, but he did? Who helped him out of this mess today? If it weren't for you, wouldn't he have lost face? Would he have been able to smoothly take over the Jiang family's power? You don't need to worry about this, I'll argue with him!"

"But... it seems that my second uncle has also developed murderous intent again."

“Your grudges with him are settled! Jiang Yuanshu is my father’s daughter, and Little Monkey is my older brother’s daughter. They have nothing to do with him! Unless he has a daughter, and you go and sleep with her, then I won’t stop him from killing you.”

"He also has a daughter?"

"Hey Lu Chengwen, can't you leave a good girl for the Jiang family?"

"No, no, no, it was just a blurt out. I wouldn't dare, I absolutely wouldn't dare."

Lu Chengwen said, "Fourth Uncle, about this matter..."

Jiang Yuanzheng sighed, "You should stay away from the old man for now, don't wander around under his nose. I'm going to stretch my legs. The main event today isn't really about you. This rat is up to no good; he's here to humiliate the Jiang family. The old man is getting on in years, and there are plenty of eyes watching him. If he doesn't keep a good mindset, he might not be able to handle this dead rat. I need to deal with this first."

Jiang Yuanzheng turned and took two steps, then turned back and said, "We'll talk about your brother's matter in detail later! Remember that!"

Lu Chengwen looked at the rats in the distance, then at the group of important figures at the main table.

Lu Chengwen held his wine glass, his mind elsewhere.

Did they use a rat to directly kill Jiang Shang?

No, no, no, how could such a wicked thought come to mind? It must be because of my senior brother.

With Jiang Shang dead, the Jiang family... it seems like Jiang Bozheng could take over directly, even if it's just Baimenya, Jiang Bozheng would definitely be fine too.

No, no, no, this is still the mindset of a protagonist who defies expectations.

Lu Chengwen thought for a moment, then stood at the edge of the platform: "Senior Rat Head, how's the wine?"

The rat sat upright on the ground in the middle of the empty courtyard, all alone. It must be said that this made him appear quite courageous and daring.

The rat-headed man chuckled, "Mr. Lu, congratulations! You've made it through today. However, the Jiang family values ​​their reputation. As long as I defeat the Jiang family head, I can leave unscathed. But for you, Mr. Lu, after today, your death is imminent. Mr. Lu, why don't you come back to Skynet with me? With your talent and ability, combined with my ideals and ambitions, we can shock the world! We can change the world!"

Lu Chengwen laughed heartily: "Bring on the wine! Senior Rat Head and I will have a good drink!"

Jiang Yuanshan roared, "Lu Chengwen! What nonsense are you spouting?! That's the enemy! You...you dare to disgrace the Jiang family, I'll kill you!"

Lu Chengwen smiled and said, "Second Uncle, it's just a drink, it won't kill anyone."

Jiang Yuanshan looked at Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang's eyes turned black whenever she looked at Lu Chengwen; she wished she could tear him to shreds on the spot.

But at the same time, I feel that someone like Lu Chengwen wouldn't do anything unnecessary without a purpose.

Is he going to conspire with the Rat Leader for some kind of scheme, or is he trying to help the Jiang family? Or... ha, he probably wishes the Rat Leader could kill me, so he could be safe.

Jiang Yuanzheng was also taken aback. After hesitating for a moment, he smiled and leaned closer to Jiang Shang: "Have a drink, it's no big deal."

Jiang Shang decided to trust Lu Chengwen.

"Okay, you're the star of the show today. If you want to treat us, I won't stop you."

With two bottles of wine in his left hand and two cups in his right, Lu Chengwen strode down the platform and headed towards the rat's head.

Two of Jiang's subordinates followed behind, carrying two trays, while two others prepared cushions and small tables.

Jiang Yuanshu took two steps after him: "Cheng Wen! Be careful!"

Lu Chengwen turned around and smiled at her.

Upon reaching the rat's head, his subordinates placed a small table and set out dishes. Lu Chengwen sat on a futon, arranged two wine glasses, and began pouring wine.

"Senior Rat Head, you are a guest since you have come."

"Whether you intend to wreak havoc or meet your end later, this toast is on me, Lu Chengwen. Please!"

"Hahaha! Heroes emerge from among the young!"

The rat-headed man laughed loudly: "The Jiang family is stingy, but they've got a generous son-in-law. Eh? I wonder, is President Lu the son-in-law of the Jiang family head, or the son-in-law of that Jiang Bozheng from earlier?"

Lu Chengwen said, "Senior, I kindly invited you to drink, why are you joking with me? Forgive my bluntness, but you can't leave today."

The rat-headed man laughed and said, "I come and go as I please. If you have the guts to come, you have the means to leave. You should worry about yourself instead of me, you brat."

"Let's not talk about others."

Lu Chengwen smiled as he poured the wine, but his smile carried a hint of pride and confidence, even a touch of provocation: "Five old men, four of them have come today! And the Ming and Di Sha are lurking in the shadows. The heads of the four great families have all sent their elites. Senior... this junior... is worried for you."

Lu Chengwen smiled and handed the wine glass to the rat head.

Rat Head took the wine cup: "I regard the Five Old Men as withered bones in a tomb, the Four Great Families as clay chickens and earthen dogs, and as for the Ming Earth Fiend, he is nothing but a dissolute scoundrel who sells his head for sale. If he messes up once, he will be doomed forever!"
