Since having his own independent office, Lu Tonghe has always been accustomed to putting a revolver full of six bullets in the desk drawer. This is not for self-defense. In the past ten years of casino work, Lu Tonghe has never encountered a situation where he needs to use a gun to protect himself. But Lu Yao has the same habit. Lu Tonghe, who regards Lu Yao as his idol, naturally imitates everything about Lu Yao.

The pistol, which was originally filled with bullets, suddenly disappeared, which only means that the man had entered the casino before. Thinking of this, Lu Tonghe couldn't help but feel creepy. There was only one gate in this casino that could enter and exit, and the door was clearly locked when he left. Moreover, when he returned, the iron lock on the door was nothing unusual.

How did that person come into the casino?

Lu Tonghe thought about it for a long time but couldn't understand it.

The confusion after the fright made Lu Tonghe forget to wait a little longer so that his brothers could arrange the casino business that day when they arrived. In a daze, Lu Tonghe left the casino and even forgot to lock the door, so he returned to Lu Yao's home.

"Sir, they are here. Before I arrive at the casino, I enter the casino and wait for me." Lu Tonghe's thinking was already influenced by fear and confusion. When he saw Lu Yao, he forgot to talk about important things first, but first said the things he was most afraid of and ignorant of the most.

Lu Yao frowned slightly and asked, "What did the people coming have told you?"

Lu Tonghe was stunned for a moment before he reacted and responded: "He asked me to take you to the No. 4 Warehouse at Pier 4 at 10 o'clock tonight. You must not be late or bring a third person, otherwise you will kill Brother Bao."

Lu Yao sneered, "They were so loud! Humph, let's go, let's go there. Don't pay attention to them. Do whatever you should do. When it's almost time, just take a brother over and tell them that if you want to see me, Lu Yao, I have to determine the time and place."

Lu Tonghe said in surprise: "But..."

Lu Yao interrupted Lu Tonghe's hesitation with a calm face and said, "What? Are you afraid?"

Lu Tonghe returned to his senses and said, "I'm not afraid, I'm worried that they will be unfavorable to Brother Bao."

Lu Yao sneered: "Since they ask me for help, they will never hurt Tongbao before they talk. Moreover, the more cautious they are, the more they dare not act easily. You should rest assured, just go boldly and say boldly."

Lu Tonghe, who said he was not afraid, was actually afraid. The person who went to the casino to pass the message was obviously just a minion among these mysterious people. The minion could already do such a strange thing. So you can imagine what kind of skills and ability his leader would have.

This is Lu Tonghe's shortcomings. Although he has been with Lu Yao in the world for nearly ten years, under the dual protection of Lu Yao and An Liangtang, Lu Tonghe has not seen many winds and rains like a little, and his experience is nothing more than dealing with the conflicts between brothers and dealing with the drunken and troubles of the slightly prominent figures in the world. Just as the flowers raised in the flower room are ashamed of wind and frost, Lu Tonghe will inevitably feel fear when he encounters real trouble.

But for the sake of face, Lu Tonghe buried this fear deeply in his heart. According to Lu Yao's instructions, he stayed in the casino until 8 o'clock in the evening, and then called a taxi and rushed to Pier 4.

When the situation was still unclear, Geng Han naturally did not dare to show up easily. Not only did Geng Han dare not show up, but even Liu Jin hid in the dark. On the surface, they only arranged two brothers to guard the No. 4 Warehouse at Pier 4, so that if the situation changes, their losses could be controlled to the minimum range.

At one minute, Lu Tonghe brought a brother to the vicinity of Warehouse No. 4 at Pier No. 4. His whereabouts were already under the surveillance of Liu Jin and others. Liu Jin was not angry at Lu Yao's failure to show up. On the contrary, he felt a little relieved. This only shows that Lu Yao was disgusted with his side's excessive invitation method to a certain extent. For the sake of face, he even put the safety of his brothers aside.

This is in line with the principles of a person in the martial arts world.

Those who are in the world, especially those who are single-leading sect leaders, will inevitably regard their face as more than their own lives. The meeting method proposed by Liu Jin obviously means to force him to submit, which is normal to cause Lu Yao's rebound. On the contrary, if Lu Yao obediently follows it, it can only mean that Lu Yao has a ghost in his heart.

Lu Tonghe stepped into the gate of Warehouse No. 4 with a nervous mood. The warehouse was dark and silent. There was no trace of anyone in the sight. Lu Tonghe coughed lightly and shouted: "Is anyone here?"

Behind him, the warehouse gate was closed silently, and a loud noise was made when the iron gate closed. Lu Tonghe trembled suddenly in shock, and subconsciously reached into his arms. The gun was touched, but due to the tension, Lu Tonghe failed to open the gun holster for a while, let alone pull out the gun.

In the darkness, a response finally rang out: "Why didn't Mr. Lu come?"

Lu Tonghe forced himself to calm down and said, "My husband said that if you want to see him, he needs to determine the meeting place and time."

A few sneers came from the darkness, and then someone said, "Since that's the case, then wait to collect the body for Ma Tongbao!"

In desperation, Lu Tonghe suddenly felt courageous and shouted loudly: "Let's wait!"

The man hiding in the dark said, "What else do you have to say?"

Lu Tonghedao: "You have made an appointment with my husband. I guess you have asked me for my husband. However, you are so forced to each other and have no sincerity. Who would be wronged and cooperate with you? Who would obey your orders and act according to your instructions? Wake up, my brother Bao is not a person who is afraid of life and death, and I, Lu Tonghe, is not a timid person. As for my husband, he is a hero who treats death as if he is homeless. Want to threaten us with life and death? Be your dream of being your yellow beauty!" When Lu Tonghe said hard words, the fear in his heart actually subsided. At the end of his speech, he was quite proud and pulled his follower's brothers, held his head up and turned around and walked towards the door.

A torch suddenly lit up deep in the warehouse. Under the reflection of the fire, two figures flashed, one of them shouted: "Brother Lu, please stay!"

The heroic spirit and timidity are often in the front line. Lu Tonghe sucked his heroic spirit and no longer had the timidity. When he heard the screams behind him, he just stopped, but did not turn around and replied coldly: "If you want to kill and cut, please listen to the emperor. I will give you a back. Wouldn't it be convenient for you to attack behind your back?"

This was clearly mocking Liu Jin and others for their sneak attack on Ma Lu and the others in the early morning. When the person under the torch heard it, he inevitably felt a little embarrassed. "Well, Brother Lu, we have to do this. If you offend me, brother will apologize to Brother Lu here. As for Brother Ma Tong and BMW, we dare not touch a finger. Now he is in a beautiful place and is happy. After we meet Mr. Lu San, no matter what the negotiation is, we will send Brother Ma back without any damage."

Hearing the other party showing weakness, Lu Tonghe turned around and responded: "Everyone is in charge of making a living by licking blood on the tip of the knife. He has long been indifferent to life and death. Is it interesting to use this thing to threaten the other party?"

The man apologized, "Brother Lu's teachings are right. We misunderstood Master Lu San, otherwise we would never have made such a bad decision. Well, as Mr. Lu San's instructions, time, place, and method, are determined by him, and we have no objection."

Lu Tonghe snorted coldly: "If I had known this, why should I have been there? In view of your sincere attitude, I promised you. When I go back, I will report to my husband immediately. As for the specific arrangements for the meeting, you can come to my casino after noon tomorrow to inquire."

Another brother holding the torch suddenly sneered: "Is your brother fooling us? Then Mr. Lu San sent you here to ask you to argue with us?"

The man had not waited for Lu Tonghe to react and persuaded him first: "You can't say that. After all, Master Lu San is the overlord of the side. We have something to ask for and should obey him."

The man raised the torch and argued with the man before Lu Tonghe. Lu Tonghe was confused and had to watch coldly.

The two of them argued for a while but couldn't tell the difference. The man who raised the torch was so angry that he threw the torch over and hid back to the darkness alone. The man had caught the torch and explained it to Lu Tonghe with embarrassment. In the end, he made up his mind: "At noon tomorrow, my brothers will definitely visit him, and I hope to get the final word from Master Lu San at that time."

Lu Tonghe felt that something was wrong, but for a while, he couldn't figure out the strange thing, so he agreed with the man, and then took his brothers away from the warehouse.

The moon was bright in the sky and the stars were twinkling. Lu Tonghe walked out of the dock, looked up to the sky, and roared in his heart. At that moment, he was extremely happy, feeling that even a person like Cao Bin and Dong Biao was just like this when he encountered his situation.

It was too late and the taxi on the road was very rare. Lu Tonghe and his brothers walked for a long time and finally stopped one. When they returned to Lu Yao's house, it was almost midnight.

"Sir, I've seen them!" When Lu Tonghe met Lu Yao, he wanted to report it carefully. After all, the whole process tonight was quite proud of him.

However, Lu Yao did not let Lu Tonghe finish his words, and interrupted Lu Tonghe's words with a long sigh, saying, "They have arrived and just left twenty minutes ago."

It was Liu Jin who came to Lu Yao's house to pay homage to Lu Yao.

This was not Geng Han's original plan, but Liu Jin's sudden whim.

Faced with this forced appointment, regardless of whether the quarrel between Lu Yao and Cao Bin was true or not, since Lu Yao sent Lu Tonghe to meet, his vigilance must be at its weakest moment at this moment. When Liu Jin realized this, he immediately made suggestions to Geng Han.

Geng Han thought for a while and thought that Liu Jin's suggestion was quite reasonable, so Geng Han immediately adjusted his strategy, and on the one hand, he ordered the brothers in the warehouse to try to hold Lu Tonghe as much as possible, and on the other hand, he asked Liu Jin to take two brothers to Lu Yao's home as fast as possible.

Lu Yao did not show any surprise at Liu Jin's sudden visit, but instead showed a look of praise. "You are the individuals who kidnapped my disciple Ma Tongbao, right?"

Liu Jin picked up his fists and bowed, saying, "To be honest, Mr. Lu San, our living space in Kingsoft is extremely limited. We use this method to treat Mr. Lu San's disciples out of helplessness. I hope Mr. Lu San's forgiveness."

Lu Yao sneered, "Forgive me? How do you ask me to forgive me? As the leader of a sect, I cannot protect the safety of my disciples. Instead, I want to forgive you, the murderers who caused the accident. If it is spread, wouldn't it be laughed at by my friends in the martial arts world?"

Liu Jin smiled apologized and said, "We asked Mr. Lu San, but we couldn't tell whether Mr. Lu San was an enemy or a friend for a while, so we had to ask your brother Ma to go with us. Such behavior did offend Mr. Lu San. If Mr. Lu was unwilling to forgive me, I, Liu Jin, would like to punish myself for three swords and six holes according to the rules of your sect to show my apology!"

Lu Yao replied coldly: "No need, I, Lu Yao, have already set up my own business. Three swords and six holes are no longer my rule. As for what you say is an enemy or a friend, it is best not to make a conclusion before you explain your purpose. However, if you can see this gap and dare to come to my house, it means that you are not a mediocre person. Therefore, I have a little expectation of your purpose, and I hope you will not disappoint me."

Liu Jin said: "Mr. Lu San is happy! If you don't do secret things, then I will just say it. I have only one intention to come to you. You and I will join forces to deal with Cao Bin!"

Lu Yao smiled and said, "It's true that I didn't expect. If I guess correctly, you should be the residual element of the Qing Dynasty's Internal Machinery Bureau that was destroyed at the beginning of the year, and your envoy is Geng Han, the former leader of the Internal Machinery Bureau, right?"

Liu Jin quickly thought about it in his mind. If the scam that Lu Yao and Cao Bin had just set up intentionally, then Lu Yao should have pretended to be stupid at this moment, but Lu Yao in front of him revealed their old background without any scruples, which shows that the possibility of Lu Yao joining forces with Cao Bin to set up a situation is not high.

Liu Jin, who had a little more trust, simply admitted it calmly, and smiled faintly, saying, "Mr. Lu San, you are the younger generation who dared not deceive at all. Yes, I am Liu Jin who escaped the trap set by Cao Bin and Dong Biao because of the mission of overturning the train that day. But I am trying to take revenge on Cao Bin, but I am definitely not avenging the Internal Machinery Bureau."

Lu Yao smiled and said, "Of course I know that you have been fighting with An Liangtang for a long time, just for the big smoke? Although I, Lu Yao, did not participate in it, I can't hide these things from me."

Liu Jin said: "That's right, brother, I came because of this. Cao Bin blocked his brother's way of making money, so he had no choice but to target him. Mr. Lu San, isn't the situation you are facing exactly the same as that of my brother?"

Lu Yao shook his head and said, "You are wrong! You are very wrong! Although I, Lu Yao, are full of resentment towards Cao Bin, I have always been a family. I can have a quarrel with Cao Bin or even fight, but that is all about being closed. You, and Geng Han behind you, are outsiders, and there is no reason to turn your elbows out in the world. I, Lu Yao, will never come with you."

Liu Jin smiled and said, "It is said that Master Lu San values ​​feelings and loyalty. When he saw him today, he was indeed like this! But I wonder if Master Lu San has ever considered how he treats you when he talks about his loyalty to Cao Bin again?
