At the back door of the shop, everyone looked at the closed doors and windows and felt troubled.

"No, are they too cautious? They are just buying something, and all the doors and windows are closed?"

After saying that, Lan Yao turned to look at Gu Sheng.

"What should I do? It seems I can't see it."

When everyone's eyes fell on Gu Sheng's face, he pondered for a moment and said, "Don't worry, just keep an eye on me here, I'll go over and take a look."

After leaving these words, Gu Sheng tiptoed and flew away immediately without waiting for their response.

Bai Yu seemed to want to say something, but as soon as he opened his hand, Gu Sheng's figure had disappeared.

At the back door of the shop, Gu Sheng stood firmly on the tree.

He turned his wrist, and a leaf flew out of his hand, directly cutting a hole in the oil paper on the window.

Gu Sheng adjusted his movements so that he could see inside through the opening.

A breath slowly flew out from his hand and touched the window gently.

Soon, their voices fell on Gu Sheng's ears.

At this time, Purple Jade Dagger was placed on the table. Gu Sheng took a look, and the words of Luo Qin spread to his ears.

"What I want is a dagger made by heavy industry. There are only a few gems on your dagger, which is far from what I asked for! That's how you fooled me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the whip in Luo Qin's hand hit the shopkeeper hard.

The shopkeeper was caught off guard, and he let out a scream and rolled to the ground.

However, Luo Qin was still not satisfied. He looked at the shopkeeper gloomily and said, "You know that this thing of mine is going to be used on Recruitment Convention, but you still dare to deal with me like this. I think you are getting impatient!"

His voice suddenly became louder, and the whip in his hand came down hard again!

The sound of cracking whips mixed with the screams of the shopkeeper sounded, making people feel numb.

Gu Sheng looked at it, his eyes became cold and cold.

After a long time, Luo Qin finally stopped, but he did not go to get Purple Jade Dagger.

"Within three days, find a way to make this dagger meet my requirements, otherwise I will come to see you with your head!"

After saying that, Luo Qin flicked his sleeves and turned around to leave with his men.

Seeing his people scattering in all directions, Gu Sheng immediately jumped down from the tree and left first.

When Luo Qin showed up, Gu Sheng had disappeared.

In the dark, I saw Luo Qin leading people away, but Gu Sheng was still missing. Bai Yu and others were a little panicked.

"Luo Qin is gone, why hasn't Gu Sheng shown up yet? Could it be that something happened?"

Bai Yu As soon as these words were spoken, everyone panicked.

"Gu Sheng Is something really going to happen? Otherwise, you just wait here while I look for it."

With that said, Hong Mei planned to leave alone.

Seeing this, Lan Yao quickly stopped her.

"No, you can't go. Luo Qin's people haven't gone far yet. 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 you want to go, we have to go. There are so many of us, so we can't let you two girls go. You wait here while I go."

After saying that, Lan Yao raised his legs and started to leave.

At this time, a figure fell from the sky and landed directly in front of them.

Everyone was startled and subconsciously took two steps back.

After seeing clearly that the person coming was Gu Sheng, everyone's eyes lit up and they quickly took a step forward.

"Gu Sheng, you are back. Everyone in Luo Qin has left and I haven't seen you yet, but you have made us worried."

Shi Lou took a step forward and looked at Gu Sheng's whole body as he spoke, fearing that he would be injured.

Gu Sheng smiled and turned around in front of his eyes.

"Don't worry, I'm not hurt. Let's go back and talk."

Knowing that he was afraid that the walls had ears, everyone nodded hurriedly.

Orchid led the way, and everyone followed, quickly returning to Orchid's shop.

After sitting firmly, Orchid served tea to everyone.

"Gu Sheng, how is the situation over there? Luo Qin Is that thing used at the conference?"

"Yes, it was used on Recruitment Convention, but Luo Qin was not satisfied with the Purple Jade Dagger. He even beat the shopkeeper because of this."

"Ah? He even beat up the shopkeeper? Isn't this too domineering?"

After Lan Yao finished speaking, Luo Chuan nodded aside.

"He has been domineering since he was a child, and he has always used any means to achieve his goals. It is precisely because of his ruthlessness that he and his mother are particularly liked by King Luo. They were also raised according to this standard, so he will become like this."

After Luo Chuan finished speaking, Orchid looked at him curiously.

"I found that you seem to know a lot about Luo Qin. Did you find out all this? I have also investigated Luo Qin, but I don't know it as well as you do. You seem to have a deep understanding of his living habits and this person. Can I ask how you found out?"

Seeing Orchid's curious look, Gu Sheng smiled at the side.

"He not only knows Luo Qin, he also knows King Luo very well, because his name is Luo Chuan."

Orchid was surprised when he heard Luo Chuan's name.

"Luo Chuan? You said his name is Luo Chuan? He has the same name as King Luo's son?"

Seeing that she hadn't reacted yet, Gu Sheng smiled and nodded.

"That's right, so no one knows these people in the King Luo mansion better than him. After all, they have lived together for so many years."

As soon as these words came out, Orchid finally reacted.

"Luo Chuan, you are the son of King Luo! Are you the son who was sent to the mountains for further study?!"

Hearing this, Luo Chuan was a little confused.

"Sent to the mountains for further study?"

"Yes, King Luo personally released the news, saying that he sent his son Luo Chuan to the mountains for further study, so he did not participate in the various sects and was not assigned soldiers."

Knowing this, Luo Chuan sneered again and again.

"He really knows how to put gold on his face. It's obvious that he kicked me out of the house, and he said it so grandly, so he has the nerve!"

After learning the truth of the matter, everyone looked at each other.

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, all I wasted was 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 keep our promise to you, so just keep it in your heart."

After hearing what the two said, Luo Chuan finally showed a smile on his face.

Orchid said coquettishly on the side, "I didn't expect King Luo to be so partial. He is also his son, but he treats him so differently!"

"The reason why he treats us differently is because he treats our mothers differently. People like him will die sooner or later!"

Luo Chuan said this harshly, and Orchid did not dare to mention this matter again. He quickly greeted them and said, "I have asked my men to prepare the room. Everyone has been running around for so long, so go and take a rest."

After running around for a day, everyone was really tired. When they heard Orchid's call, they went back to their rooms.

After a night's rest, everyone was woken up by the aroma of food.

When Gu Sheng went out, Lan Yao and others also woke up.

Several people looked at each other, Shi Lou scratched his head and said, "Why does it smell so good so early in the morning? Could it be that Orchid asked some restaurant to deliver the food?"

When everyone thought about it, it was really possible.

Walking into the room smelling the fragrance, everyone saw a table full of food at a glance.

"Orchid, which restaurant's food is this? Why does it look so exquisite?"

Hearing this, Orchid pursed his lips and smiled.

"This is not sent from the restaurant, I made it myself. Come and try it."

"Did you make all of these yourself?"

When asked this question, Shi Lou's eyes widened.

"Well, come and try it."

After getting the affirmative answer again, Shi Lou muttered, "It seems we are in good luck this time."

After everyone sat down, Gu Sheng was the first to use his chopsticks.

The meat is fat but not greasy in your mouth. It is indeed a good craftsmanship.

Looking at him, Orchid's eyes were a little bright.

"How's it going? Is it delicious?"

"It's delicious, fat but not greasy, and the craftsmanship is really good."

"Try this again."

Orchid took a piece of food to Gu Sheng and continued to look at him with bright eyes.

Gu Sheng didn't think too much. After eating one bite of fish, I just felt that it was full of freshness and sweetness.

"It's delicious, fresh and sweet in the mouth, without any fishy smell."

Being praised again, Orchid smiled and rolled his eyes.

"As long as you like it."

Seeing that Orchid's eyes have been staring at Gu Sheng, everyone looked at me and I looked at you, and finally their eyes fell on Hong Mei's face.

Hong Mei was eating vegetables without much expression on her face. She seemed not to take this matter seriously. After seeing her reaction, everyone breathed a sigh of relief unconsciously.

Just as the breakfast was coming to an end, someone from Orchid hurried in.

"Shopkeeper, Luo Qin has stepped up its efforts to suppress the shopkeeper of the jewelry store. He seems to be unable to bear it anymore and is looking for gems while preparing for a retreat."

Hearing this, Orchid subconsciously looked at Gu Sheng.

Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "What escape route has he prepared?"

"He has packed up all the valuable things in the shop. Half of the things placed outside are worthless and half are fakes. I guess he wants to run away if he can't find the things and make a living."

Touching his chin, Gu Sheng nodded thoughtfully.

"If he dares to resist Luo Qin, it will be a good thing for us. How is this shopkeeper's personality? Has he interacted with us?"

"Shopkeeper Wang is greedy by nature, and people are obsessed with money. As long as he pays for it, there is nothing he dares not do. Our shopkeeper has some interactions with him, but they are all in business, and we don't have many interactions in private."

After he finished speaking, Orchid nodded.

"This man is extremely greedy, and he only works hard for money. If we hadn't met him twice, I wouldn't have known him. Everyone on the street knows his character, and there are very few people who are willing to get acquainted with him."

"This would be beneficial to us, Orchid, can you make an appointment with this shopkeeper in private and meet him in the name of doing business? I would like to have an interview with him."

Understanding what he meant, Orchid nodded.

"Okay, I can use some money to keep him quiet so as not to be discovered by Luo Qin. When do you want to meet?"

"The sooner the better, Luo Qin only gives him three days, we can't delay it too long, it is in our interest to get him done early."

"Okay, I'll send someone to meet him right now."

Orchid called her subordinates to say something. Her subordinates took out a small box from the back room, and then hurriedly left holding the box.

Seeing the box, Gu Sheng felt clear.

"Orchid, ask your subordinates to do the math. I will pay for all the money related to Shopkeeper Wang."

"No, I can still afford this amount of money."

"If I can afford it, I can't let you pay for it. It's not easy for you to support a shop by yourself. There are so many of us, so we can't let you pay for it."

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Orchid wanted to say something more. Before she could speak, Lan Yao said with a smile, "Orchid, just let Gu Sheng take it. He has too much money in his pocket to spend it. If you don't give him a chance to spend it, he will be sunk to death."

As soon as these words came out, everyone couldn't help laughing, but they also agreed with Lan Yao's words.

Gu Sheng's net worth is beyond their imagination. This amount of money is really nothing to him, no matter how much it is, it doesn't matter.

Hearing what everyone said, Orchid was a little surprised.

She didn't expect Gu Sheng, a man in the world, to be so rich, and even richer than she could have imagined.

"Okay, then I'll listen to you."

In the afternoon of the same day, news came from Orchid that Shopkeeper Wang was willing to meet them in the evening, but they had to meet at their shop.

Knowing why and how he chose, Orchid naturally had no objection.

Because in her mind, her shop is indeed the safest.

After the two parties finalized, everyone waited for the evening.

When it gets dark, Shopkeeper Wang will come over.

When he entered, he walked in swaggeringly, looked around, and then clicked his tongue.

"Shopkeeper Lan, your shop is not good. Everything is old. You won't be able to make money by doing this business. Also, your tree looks a little yellow, which is a taboo for business people. No, your furnishings here are also wrong. How about you learn from me and I can teach you?"

Hearing his words, Orchid just smiled.

"I don't care how much money the shop can make, as long as I can make ends meet, Shopkeeper Wang, let's talk inside."

Orchid made a gesture of invitation, but Shopkeeper Wang took her hand.

"Since Shopkeeper Lan invited me, I won't be polite."

Seeing the sly smile on his face, Orchid just felt sick, shook his hand away vigorously, and said with a straight face, "Shopkeeper Wang, I'm here to ask you to talk about business, please be serious."

"Seriously, it's rare for me to be invited by Shopkeeper Lan. How can I not be serious? Just say whatever you want. As long as you ask, I will try my best to help you. I am also very good at answering questions. I don't have high demands. Shopkeeper Lan will do."

Shopkeeper Wang thought that there were only two of them here, so he didn't care about what he said, and even made explicit demands, which made Gu Sheng and others blush.

Just when they were about to show up, Orchid suddenly clapped his hands, and several figures sprang out from behind, all surrounding Shopkeeper Wang.

For a moment, he panicked.

Seeing him like this, Orchid sneered on his face.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I advise you to be more sensible as a person."
