It was already two o'clock in the morning, and Lu Shanmin sent Ruan Yu back to her rental house.

This is a single room of only four to five square meters, just enough for a bed.

The landlord abruptly divided a one-bedroom and one-living room suite into four or five single rooms.

The surrounding walls were made of wooden boards and there was no soundproofing at all. The clear sounds of men and women breathing could be heard from next door.

After a night of fright, Ruan Yu fell asleep.

Lu Shanmin sat aside and watched over her quietly, just like Ruan Yu watched over him quietly when he was hospitalized for the first time.

Ruan Yu slept very uneasily. She didn't know what she was dreaming about. She kept frowning, biting her lip with her teeth, and clutching the quilt tightly with both hands.

The words Ruan Yu asked tonight couldn't help but ring in my ears, 'Brother Shanmin, you have been in Donghai for a year, haven't you discovered that this world is cruel?'

Lu Shanmin frowned. He was a mountain villager. He had been making dumplings since he was a child. He had fought with wild beasts in the mountains and spent nights in the primitive deep forests. He did not have a deep understanding of hardship.

But Sister Ruan is just a girl, and girls shouldn't have such a hard life. All the men in the mountains know this.

Looking at Ruan Yu who was still restless in his sleep, Lu Shanmin felt pain in his heart.

Do you blame Hai Donglai? Do you blame Hai Dongqing? Do you blame Li Lei? Or who should be blamed?

When she first met Ruan Yu, she was still a girl who only knew how to cry when she was wronged. Now, she dared to grit her teeth and kick Li Lei in the crotch.

When she first brought her food, the smile on Ruan Yu's face was so sweet and clean. Now, her smile is full of hatred and cruelty.

Who turned her into what she is today.

Lu Shanmin stood up and walked out of the room, closing the door gently.

He patted Qin Feng who was standing at the door. "Let's go. Let's talk to Zhou Tong tomorrow and rent another apartment near where we live, and then take her over."

"Eh".

It was after three o'clock in the morning that Zhigang Avenue finally got a moment of silence. The road was empty and deserted.

"Brother Shanmin, who is this girl?"

"My sister".

"Oh, I just heard you call her Sister Ruan. She doesn't have the same surname as you"?

Lu Shanmin smiled lightly and said, "It's not important."

"I also have a sister." When talking about his sister, Qin Feng's chest was very straight and he looked proud.

"oh".

"My sister is the most beautiful girl in Qinjia Village."

"oh".

"The smartest girl".

"oh".

"The gentlest girl".

Seeing Qin Feng's serious and proud look, Lu Shanmin grinned.

"You came to Shilixiang just for your sister, right?"

Qin Feng smirked and nodded, "I came to Donghai just to earn tuition and living expenses for my sister."

"You are a good brother".

Qin Feng chuckled and said, "Same for you."

The next day, as soon as Lu Shanmin finished his regular morning practice, Zhou Tong knocked on the door. Tang Fei and Shan Mao also came with him.

Lu Shanmin tidied away the books on the sofa.

"Sit wherever you want."

Tang Fei looked angry, while Zhou Tong lowered his head and said nothing.

The mountain cat rolled its eyes and said with a smile: "Brother Shanmin, we heard about what happened last night."

Lu Shanmin looked at the three of them, smiled and patted Tang Fei and Zhou Tong on the shoulders.

"It's a small thing, don't you think I'm fine now?"

Tang Fei said displeasedly: "Mountain people, how could you not notify me of such a fight?"

Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Now is not the time for a full-scale falling out. If there are too many people, it will not end well."

Tang Fei sighed, "Mountain people, I'm not talking about you. You are not alone now. A whole family will eat with you. You should do less risky things like this in the future."

"By the way, are Ruan Yu okay?"

"It's okay, I plan to take her to work here."

Tang Fei nodded and looked at Zhou Tong again, "Zhou Tong, you are a steady person, and you don't stop the mountain people from being impulsive."

Zhou Tong was a little embarrassed. He was actually near Yunsheng Bar at the time. After discovering Ruan Yu, he notified Lu Shanmin immediately and saw Lu Shanmin entering Yunsheng Bar. "Brother Shanmin, I,,".

Lu Shanmin waved his hand, "You did the right thing, and you thought very carefully. You know that this is not the time for a complete falling out, not to mention that you are our top detective and it is not appropriate to show your face."

Zhou Tong nodded, "Actually, I thought if you and Qin Feng didn't come out, I would rush in."

Lu Shanmin smiled and said, "Fortunately you didn't rush in, otherwise you would have been exposed."

Lu Shanmin then asked: "When you and Hu Ming went to Shengshi Bar for the first time, would anyone recognize you?"

Zhou Tong shook his head, "No, the lights in the bar were dim and flickering. When Hu Ming and the other three pretended to hit me, they deliberately blocked their view, so no one noticed my appearance."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "You promote a person to be responsible for security on North and South No. 3. Tang Fei usually pays more attention to North and South No. 3. From now on, you completely hide yourself and lead your investigation team to inquire and follow Chang Zan's people.

”.

Zhou Tong nodded happily. This is equivalent to Lu Shanmin's Jin Yiwei. It is the absolute core. Although it is in the dark, its importance is no less than that of Tang Fei. What's more, he is a scout, and he still prefers to do detective work.

This is his specialty.

"Who does Brother Shanmin want me to follow?"

"Chai Zheng".

"Chai Zheng"?

"Yes, he is one of Jiang Tao's subordinates. I always feel that there is something fishy about this man. Go and follow him, but you must be careful. This man's anti-investigation ability is particularly strong. I was discovered by him during my last tracking."

Zhou Tong nodded firmly, "Don't worry, Brother Shanmin, I will find a way to investigate him."

Zhou Tong continued: "Brother Shanmin, Ruan Yu had better move here as soon as possible to prevent Li Feng from retaliating."

Lu Shanmin frowned and nodded, "Rent her a house nearby as soon as possible."

Tang Fei said at the side: "It may not be such a coincidence to rent a house for a while. I think otherwise, I will move in with Qin Feng first and let Ruan Yu move to my one-bedroom apartment first."

Lu Shanmin patted Tang Fei on the shoulder and said, "Thank you in advance."

Tang Fei smiled and said, "Your sister is my sister. Why are we two brothers so polite?"

The lynx laughed sarcastically on the side and kept looking at Lu Shanmin.

Lu Shanmin smiled. Last time, Shanmao mentioned that it would be best to have a close relationship with the brothers, which would give everyone more confidence.

Lu Shanmin didn't intend to hide Chen Ran's matter, but he didn't know how to say it for a while. Now that he has gradually established a foothold on Zhigang Avenue, he feels it is necessary to tell everyone about this matter.

"I want to tell you something. Are you wondering why we have been able to gain a foothold on Zhigang Avenue so smoothly?"

The three people's eyes lit up, and they all looked straight at Lu Shanmin. Everyone was wondering whether it was because of the news Chen Ran had released that made Chang Zan afraid to act rashly, but whether Lu Shanmin was related to Chen Ran as rumored by the outside world.

, they didn’t know for sure. Lu Shanmin didn’t say anything, and they never asked.

"I don't know what to say specifically, but in short, I have some connection with Chen Ran."

Tang Fei looked at Lu Shanmin excitedly, "Shanmin, you have been on Minsheng West Road, how did you get involved with Chen Ran?"

"It's hard to explain in one sentence, but you only know that Chen Ran is very influential in Parkway District, but do you know who is the person behind him?"

The three of them looked at Lu Shanmin blankly. Now everyone is not a country bumpkin who just came to the East China Sea. Especially since they have been in the bar industry, they naturally know a lot of news. Everyone knows that Chen Ran is a very powerful person, but they have never heard of it.

I told you who else is behind him.

Lu Shanmin said calmly: "Behind him is Hai Dongqing."

"Haidongqing"?

The three of them opened their mouths in surprise. They didn't expect that such a big shot would be related to Parkway District.

Seeing the complicated expressions of shock, confusion, and excitement on the three people's faces, Lu Shanmin said calmly:

"Don't think too much. I am not one of their people, and my relationship with them is not what you think. In short, it is difficult to explain, and there are many things I can't understand."

After a pause, Lu Shanmin said seriously: "I even suspect that Chen Ran put this smoke bomb not to help me, but to force me into a dead end."

The three of them looked at Lu Shanmin in confusion. If it weren't for Chen Ran's smoke bomb, the four bars in the north and south would never have been able to open so easily. Why were they forced into a dead end?

Lu Shanmin continued: "If Chang Zan wants to drive me away, he has many ways, regardless of Luo Xing's factors. If we are easily driven away, at most we can return to Minsheng West Road, and we won't suffer much loss."

Shanmao frowned slightly, "Brother Shanmin means that Chen Ran's purpose is to let us stay on Zhigang Avenue, and then let us gradually establish a foothold, sink deeper and deeper, and finally fight to the death with Chang Zan."

Lu Shanmin nodded, "Yes."

Shanmao's face was full of doubts, "But why? What grudge does Chen Ran have against you, or Hai Dongqing has grudge against you? Why would big shots like them care about you?"

Lu Shanmin shook his head, "I don't know about this, so I want to tell everyone that although Chang praises the rule of thumb, everyone must know in their hearts that Chen Ran will not interfere in anything that happens next. We can't rely on others, we can only

On their own".

Shanmao's eyes were purring, "Why Hai Dongqing and Chen Ran did this is beyond the scope of our investigation. At this moment, we can only break out of the encirclement and seize the time. If I am not wrong, before

The gangsters in the bar caused trouble a few times because Fu Liang was testing him, and the testing will become more and more intense in the future."

Tang Fei slapped his thigh fiercely, "No matter the reason, Xiao Wu's death cannot be in vain. This life-and-death revenge must be avenged. If we don't find out how Xiao Wu died and find out what Chang Zan was doing secretly, we swear

Don’t take a break.”

Shanmao nodded, "Brother Shanmin defeated Li Lei last night. The battle has begun. We have to plan carefully."
