I wish you peace and love

Not only that, he racked his brains, painstakingly planned and carefully designed a perfect trap to harm Yan Juan, his former friend. He probably wanted to take revenge on Yan Juan for not standing on his side. Another point was that if he eliminated him, it would be easier to defeat Lu Xiche.

The purpose of Lu Xiche's sudden return this time is not difficult to guess.

Everyone knows that there is a deep grudge between him and Lapon, and this time he returns must be to settle old scores with Lapon.

But tonight, they couldn't resist the temptation of money and unexpectedly agreed to join Lapon's camp. This undoubtedly meant that they had been involved in the dispute between the two, causing them to stand on the opposite side of Lu Xiche.

So are they going to be...dead tonight?

"No... It's absolutely impossible... How could he be Lu Xiche... I don't believe it..."

The muscular man who was full of morale and confidence just now, now opened his eyes wide, his face full of disbelief. His originally strong and solid body seemed to have been drained of all its strength, and instantly became like a puddle of mud, collapsing limply to the ground.

The middle-aged man who had fallen into a coma after Knight broke his arm also woke up at this time.

When he heard the discussions of the people around him in a daze and learned that the man in front of him with an amazing appearance was actually the legendary Lu Xiche, his face turned pale as death in an instant.

"This... How is this possible?" His eyes were filled with despair and fear, as if he had seen the end of the world coming. "Didn't Lapon say that Lu Xiche stayed in China because of a woman and would never come back here? Why... Why is he here now?"

"Do you believe such things?" Lu Xiche's sexy lips curled up into a disdainful sneer, like a gust of cold wind blowing through the hearts of everyone present.

Then, he raised his head, his eyes as sharp as a knife, looked around at everyone, and asked: "Have you never thought about why he gathered all of you here today?"

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone suddenly came back to their senses, and their eyes instantly focused on Lu Xiche, their eyes full of curiosity and confusion.

Is there any other reason besides working together?

Facing these curious eyes, Lu Xiche stood up straight, mercilessly, and exposed them word by word: "He is so eager to win over people, and his purpose is nothing more than to make you willingly work for him and become his scapegoat! For this reason, he even fabricated such a lie full of loopholes.

"But what's funny is that you guys were so easily fooled by his sweet words. You were bought off by just a few words and even naively believed that I would never come back?"

After hearing what he said, the faces of the big guys changed suddenly. They looked at Lapon and asked, "Pong! Is what Mr. Lu said true?"

They couldn't believe it. "Is your purpose in winning us over really the same as what Mr. Lu said, just to make us work for you?"

After his lie was exposed, Lapon was furious, but on the surface he pretended to be calm and explained to them, "I didn't lie to you, he was just talking nonsense. I told you that as long as you are willing to believe me, you can get wealth, power and status as you wish. How could I make you a scapegoat? So don't believe him."

"Oh... am I talking nonsense?"

Lu Xiche glanced at him with an extremely cold look, and spoke every word seriously, "You know you can't beat me, but you still want to play tricks on me and hurt my people when I'm not around. What's even more hateful is that for your ambition, you even formed gangs and factions, so-called "brainwashing" them, making big promises, and throwing olive branches. Isn't what you did considered taking advantage of them?"

After hearing what Lu Xiche said, Lapon not only did not show any guilt on his face, but he even showed a frivolous smile.

"The one who hurt you?" He looked at Lu Xiche, acting crazy and stupid without caring about friendship. "Who are you talking about, Mr. Lu? Where is the evidence?"

As he spoke, he suddenly moved his body, which was originally lazily leaning on the back of the sofa, and sat up straight. He stared at Lu Xiche without flinching, and refuted confidently: "Also, what I said is just the truth. How can it be considered brainwashing or empty talk? Moreover, as for what you, Mr. Lu, said about taking advantage of, it was just helping each other! Besides, this kind of thing is a mutually beneficial relationship between you and me, how can it be called taking advantage of me?"

However, in response to Lapon's shameless sophistry, Lu Xiche just snorted coldly. His voice was as calm as water, but the chill contained in it made people shudder: "Lapon, do you think I'm stupid? Do you really think I don't know you? Don't you know what kind of conspiracy you are planning in secret?"

Before he could even open his mouth to say a word, Lu Xiche asked again: "Evidence, right?"

"Then listen carefully, I am the most direct and powerful evidence!"

Then, Lu Xiche took a step forward, staring at the other person with cold eyes, and said sternly: "Back then, Yan Juan resolutely chose to stand by my side, and it was precisely because of this that you held a grudge against him. In order to avenge him, you have ignored the friendship between brothers for so many years, and used a knife to kill someone. Aren't all the bad things you have done to him enough?"

"But he, considering the friendship we once had, simply didn't want to argue with you. However, you didn't know what was good for you. In the few short months that I was away, you not only showed no remorse, but even went even further, even colluding with external hostile forces, carefully planning and laying numerous traps, in an attempt to put him in an irretrievable situation!"

At this point, Lu Xiche paused for a moment, but his deep and extremely cold voice did not stop at all, but continued to ruthlessly impact the eardrums of everyone present: "Also, don't forget those things that you caused back then. Don't be naive to think that you can really do it perfectly and conceal the truth. Let me tell you, as long as I am determined to investigate, no truth can be covered up!"

After hearing this, Lapon's expression changed instantly. His face, which had been pretending to be calm, was now filled with surprise.

"So, you weren't really unable to find evidence back then?"

After hearing this, Lu Xiche lowered his eyes slightly, as if he was lost in some distant memories.

After a moment, he slowly said, "Have you forgotten who I am? Even if you want to investigate something that is impossible to reach the sky, it is easy for me. I just don't want to pursue it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stopped talking, as if he was immersed in the events that happened that year.

It was unknown how much time had passed, but Lu Xiche finally raised his head and stared straight at Lapon.

There was a trace of anger and disappointment in his eyes, and he continued in a slightly low voice, "But I never thought that it was because of my tolerance and kindness towards you that you took advantage of the opportunity to hurt him!"

Lapon listened and looked at Lu Xiche silently.

After a while, he sighed deeply. After a long silence, he spoke with a hint of regret: "Ah Che, you have been extremely intelligent since you were a child, there is no doubt about that. It's just that you are too timid, and your personality is too stubborn and rigid. If you had listened to me back then, our relationship would not have become like this."

Before Lu Xiche could speak, Lin Yan, who was standing beside him, could no longer suppress his anger and shouted angrily, "Fuck you! You better keep your mouth shut! Who gave you the guts to say that my brother Che is rigid? Let me tell you, my brother is a man of integrity and uprightness! He just disagreed with you, why do you say he is stubborn and cowardly?"

Faced with Lin Yan's fury, Lapon showed no sign of anger. Instead, he showed a playful smile and said slowly, "Yan Yan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. I didn't expect that your hot temper hasn't changed at all. You are still so impulsive and reckless."

"What Yanyan! Lapon, stop being so disgusting!" Lin Yan was so angry that his face turned blue in an instant, and he shouted with his eyes wide open, "Don't call me so intimately, as if we are very familiar with each other! I don't know you, an ugly freak, at all!"

"Not familiar?" Lapon looked at him and recalled, "You weren't like this before. At that time, you always called me Brother Peng affectionately, and even said that you wanted to go back to Tyrande with me to play. How come after just a few years, you said that we are not familiar with each other anymore?"

Hearing this, Lin Yan's heart skipped a beat. He had never expected that Lapon would suddenly bring up this matter.

His face suddenly became stiff, and the expression on his face froze in an instant.

Back then, the relationship between the two of them was indeed very close, as good as brothers, and they had known each other longer than other brothers.

However, if it weren't for what happened later...

Thinking of this, Lin Yan couldn't help but get furious. He clenched his fists tightly and glared at Lapon fiercely, "I remember everything you did back then. Brother Che and I will not have anything to do with someone who only betrays his brothers!"

Faced with Lin Yan's intense reaction, Lapon just snorted coldly, lowered his eyes and took a sip of red wine. Then, he looked at Lin Yan again and asked coldly: "Betrayal? Lin Yan, you are really good at accusing people! Isn't it because we pursue different paths that we parted ways?"

"I bother!"

Lin Yan spat on the ground without any hesitation, his face full of contempt, and angrily scolded: "Don't make specious arguments and confuse right and wrong here! It's obviously you who are narrow-minded. You can't stand the fact that Brother Che is better and more powerful than you, so you get jealous and end up hurting your brothers and betraying them! Shameless people like you are not worthy of being our friends!

"Also, no matter what, what you just said can never be an excuse or reason for you to hurt Yan Juan! It's all because you were too ambitious, stretched your hands too far, lost control, and were blinded by endless desire."

He continued in one breath, "You can be so cruel to your best friend, no wonder your family, friends and even your beloved ex-girlfriend left you. You are simply a heartless and ruthless person!!!"

The few words he said before were like wind on the ears of Lapon, and did not cause any ripples in his heart at all.

However, when he heard the last sentence, his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He has always been most averse to others mentioning such topics in front of him.

Especially that ungrateful woman who was impossible to feed and abandoned him.

He clenched his teeth tightly and roared angrily: "Lin Yan, what did you say!?"

Seeing Lapon's intense reaction, Lin Yan felt a burst of joy in his heart.

It must be that the words I just said touched a deep pain in his heart. Otherwise, how could he, who was usually calm and composed and sociable, become so angry and embarrassed?

But since he couldn't hear clearly, that's fine, he could repeat it again.

Lin Yan stared at him coldly, the friendship of the past long gone from his eyes, and said indifferently, "Didn't you hear what I said clearly enough?"

Seeing Lapon's angry look, Lin Yan said word by word: "I said you are a mad and shameless person. Because you are blinded by endless desires, everyone is alienated from you."

"Alienation?"

Hearing this, a sneer of contempt appeared on Lapon's lips.

Immediately, he skillfully lit a cigarette without any hurry, took a deep breath, slowly blew out a smoke ring, and said leisurely, "So what?"

Obviously, to him, the so-called human warmth and coldness, other people's opinions and attitudes are all irrelevant.

He said, "I don't care. What I really care about and what I strive for is only supreme power."

right?

Hearing these two words, Lu Xiche frowned, and his sharp Adam's apple rolled up and down neatly.

After a moment, he narrowed his eyes slightly, and there was a chilling chill in his eyes.

"In that case, there's nothing more to say."

He spoke coldly, and a cold breath emanated from him, instantly filling the entire space. Even the surrounding air seemed to condense into ice. "Lapon, do you know why I suddenly came back here?"

At this time, Lapon's face was full of confusion and bewilderment, and he had no idea what was going on.

At this moment, the man's cold and murderous words once again reached his ears: "I came back this time specifically to settle accounts with you!"

Lapon raised his eyebrows when he heard this, with a look of surprise on his face. He asked back, "Settling accounts? I wonder which account Mr. Lu is referring to? The previous matter? The matter of repeatedly stealing your clients? Or the matter of Yan Juan?"
