Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network. Narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He, a bald, middle-aged man who chickened out completely and didn't care anymore.

There was a group of his men watching over him in the coffee shop. He said it would be expensive, because he was terrified of dying.

This is a bully who preys on the weak and fears the strong.

His name is Meng Junhao, the owner of Jiangnan Longdun Security Group, the general manager of Donghai Changjiu Property Group, a member of the council of the Jiangnan Province Security Association, and a representative of the Donghai City People's Congress.

He was originally just someone connected to the Ding Family. Four years ago, he didn't even know Ding Ruilong, or rather, he wasn't familiar with him. He was only close to a certain direct descendant of the Ding Family.

People in the security industry generally have connections within the public security system, but Meng Junhao is also the owner of a property management company in the East Sea, so his network is even wider.

Three years ago, not long after Li Ruobing came to the East Sea to start his business, Ding Ruilong began sending people to the East Sea and using his connections to bribe some East Sea figures to do things for him. Meng Junhao thus became one of Ding Ruilong's men.

At first, Meng Junhao felt lucky to have been able to establish a connection with the top figure of the third Ding Family; it was as if a benefactor had fallen from the sky.

Ding Ruilong told him to keep an eye on the situation in the East Sea, and occasionally send someone to keep an eye on Li Ruobing in the East Sea. He didn't need to do anything else; at most, he could be considered a supervisor.

Meng Junhao wasn't afraid of this, because he had learned from Ding Ruilong that Ding Ruilong only wanted to marry Li Ruobing, Li Jia's side also hoped that Li Ruobing would marry Ding Ruilong.

In other words, in this matter, he not only established a connection with Ding Ruilong, but also avoided offending Li Jia, at most Li Ruobing.

But Li Ruobing would later marry Ding Ruilong, and after considering everything, he felt that this matter only had advantages and no disadvantages, so he got involved.

But he soon regretted it so much that he wanted to die, because he discovered that Ding Ruilong's opponent in the East Sea was not Li Ruobing, but Li Ruobing's younger brother Li Family Heir, Fang Changsun Li Ruotai.

Li Ruotai was originally a newcomer to Donghai. When Li Ruobing came to the East Sea, Li Ruotai had just graduated from university. However, Li Ruotai had laid out his plans two years in advance, so after he graduated and settled in the East Sea, the speed at which he rose to prominence shocked Meng Junhao.

In a very short time, everyone in the East Sea Province was brought under Li Ruotai's command, and most of the top figures in East Korea had some connection with Li Ruotai.

Li Ruotai, a newcomer from elsewhere, quickly rose to become a powerful figure in the East Sea suddenly became his territory. Li Ruotai was protecting his older sister, Li Ruobing, at the cost of his life.

Moreover, in the following years, although Ding Ruilong gave Meng Junhao many benefits, the tasks he assigned him became increasingly dangerous.

Ding Runlong even sent his confidants to the East Sea to have Meng Junhao make arrangements to infiltrate Li Ruobing and Li Ruotai's sides. This was extremely dangerous, not a trivial matter like tailing. Even if tailing was discovered, one could simply shake them off and blame Ding Ruilong directly, without investigating the intermediaries.

However, if Ding Ruilong's confidants were directly and specifically placed next to Li Ruobing Li Ruotai, then the matter would be much more serious.

Getting caught would be a disaster, but Meng Junhao had no choice; he was already too deeply involved. He complied and, through his unique connections within his industry, placed the people sent by Ding Ruilong into the residential area where Li Ruobing lived as security guards.

He also planted another of Ding Runlong's confidants in the neighborhood where Li Luotai lived. Later, he learned that both of Ding Runlong's men had vanished without a trace, but he didn't pursue the matter. Meng Junhao had many other unsolved cases, but as the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get wet." Last June, while Meng Junhao was sleeping at his mistress's house, he was suddenly beaten and taken away. When he woke up again, he saw Li Ruotai sitting on the sofa, loading bullets into a pistol. He didn't know how Li Ruotai had found out about him, but he had.

In order to save his life, Meng Junhao knelt down and kowtowed to Li Ruotai, betraying Ding Ruilong completely, with tears streaming down his face.

Finally, he promised Li Ruotai he could act as an undercover agent for him, and that he would inform Li Ruotai of any future tasks Ding Ruilong might assign him, or any other arrangements made for him in the Eastern Han Dynasty.

When this guy wanted to save his life, he was incredibly eloquent and managed to persuade Li Ruotai. But as soon as he turned around, he betrayed Li Ruotai and told Ding Ruilong the situation. Because he had too deep a entanglement with Ding Ruilong, he was even more afraid. Ding Ruilong didn't kill him, but instead used him to spread some false information to Li Ruotai.

And so, Meng Junhao became a double agent, walking a tightrope between the two, with an abyss below him, where one wrong step would mean utter destruction.

To put it nicely, he's playing both sides; to put it bluntly, he's courting disaster, courting utter disaster.

Having been a double agent for over a year, Meng Junhao was really at his breaking point. Ding Ruilong's actions were becoming more and more frequent and drastic. He knew very well that if Ding Runlong or Li Ruotai found out about what he had done over the past year, he would die. It could be an accident or suicide. He was terrified and even considered abandoning his family fortune and running away abroad, but he couldn't bear to do so.

The coffee shop was completely silent.

In the coffee shop, all thirty-odd people stared blankly at their boss, Meng Junhao, who was kneeling beside the dust-free chair.

They had no idea what had happened; it was all sudden and even a little inexplicable.

Because only Meng Junhao was nearby, could hear the sounds from Wu Chen's phone on the table; the others couldn't hear it at all, and even the slightest noise was inaudible.

Brother-in-law, tell me, who is it?

Because Wu Chen stopped after saying one thing, Li Ruotai asked again, grumbling.

Extremely angry, Wu Chen glanced at Meng Junhao, who was kneeling to the side with a pleading expression, smiled, picked up his phone, put it to his ear, and said calmly, "Employee number C0812, the person in your shop... oh well, I'll go, I'll go and grab him right now."

As Li Ruotai spoke, the sound of his hurried footsteps could be heard in the background.

Alright, you handle it. Make sure it's clean. Don't worry, brother-in-law. Thank you, brother-in-law. No need to thank me, we're family.

Wu Chen hung up after speaking. The traitor he told Li Ruotai was indeed real. He even knew that there were other traitors or spies around Li Ruotai, but they were all peripheral figures who could not directly contact Li Ruotai.

Whether he speaks or not doesn't matter; clearing them out all at once would only alert the enemy. Wu Chen would never reveal all his cards to anyone.

Wu Chen put away his phone, then smiled and glanced at Meng Junhao. "Thank you, thank you Mr. Wu. From now on, you're my brother, uh, no, you're my grandpa. Thank you, thank you."

Meng Junhao was still kneeling there, his expression agitated, his words devoid of any backbone. That's just the kind of person he is, and that's one of the reasons he's survived to this day.

Wu Chen also knew that this guy's attitude could not be trusted. If Wu Chen wanted to get rid of Ding Ruilong through him, he had to completely deal with him, which required some special methods.

Can we talk now?

Wu Chen asked while maintaining a smile.

Yes, yes, yes, whatever you say we'll discuss.

As he spoke, Meng Junhao stood up, took two steps back, and gestured with his head bowed and scraping.

"Oh, Mr. Wu, let's go upstairs to talk. It's not convenient to talk here. There are more than 30 people here, and we absolutely cannot let others hear our conversation."

Wu Chen smiled, stood up, straightened his suit jacket, and walked towards the staircase leading to the second floor.

Meng Junhao, his back hunched, hurried after Wu Chen.

The thirty-odd people on the First Floor the coffee shop all stood there dumbfounded, their eyes following the two people's every move.

Just as Wu Chen stepped onto the stairs, his phone rang.

Wu Chen slowed his pace, took out his phone, and then connected with Brother Lu: "Was it smooth?"

Ah, everything went smoothly!

"Lu Guonian laughed loudly, then immediately changed the subject, "Brother, where are you now?"

I'm coming to find you right now.

I have something to do.

What's wrong, Wu Chen?

Is it the one who threatened you over the phone before?

Lu Guangnian then said, "Who is it, brother? Give me your address, and I'll come over and take care of it for you."

At the corner of the First Floor- floor corridor of Zhuowang Garden complex, Lu Guangning had just come downstairs when he called Wu Chen. Only forty or fifty minutes had passed since Wu Chen left.

The reason he went downstairs so quickly without talking to his wife and son for long was because he had to go to the hospital. He wasn't really going to the hospital; his vomiting blood was fake. But Ma Huifang and Ma Jiawei insisted on taking him to the hospital, and he couldn't let his wife and son go with him, or he would be exposed.

So he made an excuse to have someone pick him up, and even teased Ma Huifang a few times, saying that he would go to the hospital and pass by the Civil Affairs Bureau to get married directly. This aroused Ma Huifang 'Ma Huifang emotions, and she did not go with him.

If Sun Ren did have some injuries but didn't really need to go to the hospital, then he called Wu Chen as soon as he went downstairs.

Now that things are settled, sharing the good news is one thing, but on the other hand, Lu Guang, do you still remember that phone call you received when Wu Chen was giving him advice?

Lu Guangnian is very loyal and values relationships. He doesn't like to owe others anything, but Wu Chen helped him twice, yet he had nothing to offer in return, and Wu Chen n't want any money.

This made Lu Guangnian feel that if he didn't do something for Wu Chen, he would be a terrible person.

Therefore, he even saw the incident of Wu Chen being threatened by phone as an opportunity to repay Wu Chen.

No need, Brother Lu, I can handle it.

Wu Chen said over the phone.

What's no longer needed?

Are we still brothers? If we are, let's make it quick.

Lu Guanglin was getting a little anxious.

Remember what I said last time? From now on, we're sworn brothers, like burning paper money for each other. Brother, if I'm in trouble and you just stand by and watch, what kind of brotherhood are we?

Lu Guangning was very worried. If he didn't repay this favor first, he felt that he would have a hard time talking to Wu Chen next time they met.

That's not what I meant, Brother Lu. You and your wife just finished setting it up, and you had something to do too, didn't you?

Don't talk too much about my business, and don't keep telling me to stop dawdling.

Brother Lu, I have your address, don't you consider me a brother?

Do you think I, Lu Guangning, am not worthy of being your brother?

Okay, let's go to East City Shudao Café.

Okay!

Lu Guangnian walked quickly out of the apartment building, left the community, and got into the Audi he had driven there alone to keep a low profile.

They hadn't driven far when they turned onto a back street, North Street. A luxury RV was parked on the side of the road, followed by a very impressive convoy of cars, including Lu Guangning's usual Rolls-Royce.

Lu Guangning changed clothes in his RV in Audi.

Less than 10 minutes later, Lu Guangning got out of the RV. He had changed back into a full set of neat makeup, and his face had been redone by the makeup artist.

One point worth mentioning is that Lu Guanglian was beaten before, but only her body was hit, not her face. This was because she was specifically reminded not to hit her face.

Lu Guangnian still has to meet people later, so the bruises on his body are minor issues; his clothes will cover them and no one will see them.

Lu Guangning rose from the bottom, and he fought his way up. In those days, it was common for people to die during demolition and relocation. He had experienced bloodshed and turmoil, so this little injury was nothing to him.

After getting in the car, the convoy set off, heading straight for the Shudao Coffee Shop in the east of the city. Lu Guangnian didn't even ask who the person who threatened Wu Chen was before heading straight there. There was no need to ask, because in the East Sea, there were very few people who dared to disrespect Lu Guangnian.

Upon Shudao Café, Wu Chen hung up the phone and quickly went up to the second floor.

The second floor was the same size as the First Floor, but it was completely empty, with no guests at all.

Because Meng Junhao arrived with his men at noon, his group of over 30 people were watching everyone who came into the lobby on the First Floor with hostility. There were no customers on the First Floor, let alone the second floor.

Meng Junhao did this for two reasons: first, he was afraid of dying or getting into trouble; second, he wanted to keep the coffee shop out of business so that it would be easier to carry out his business.

The reason he chose to talk to Wu Chen here was because the owner of this coffee shop was Meng Junhao's mistress, and it was a business that Meng Junhao provided for his mistress. In other words, this coffee shop was originally Meng Junhao's territory.

Wu Chen walked to the window on the second floor, randomly found a table, pulled out a chair and sat down, and even turned his head to look at the street outside the window.

Meng Junhang followed over and cautiously asked Mr. Wu, "Is anyone else coming?"

He overheard Wu Chen mentioning on the phone when he went upstairs that he had a friend at Shuodao Coffee Shop. Wu Chen casually mentioned it without saying much, then gestured to the person opposite him and smiled, saying, "Please sit down."

Sigh, Meng Junhao agreed and sat down opposite Wu Chen.

Wu Chen smiled at him but didn't say anything, just kept smiling, which made Meng Junhao feel uneasy.

Mr. Wu, please feel free to tell me what you need. I will do my best to help you with anything that I can.

Meng Junhao couldn't help but speak first, immediately offering a guarantee; this guy really knows how to talk.

Speaking of which, Meng Junhao is a very interesting person. Wu Chen knows him, so he knows him.

This person is bold, decisive, and capable, but he is too greedy. You could say he is flexible and adaptable, or you could say he is afraid of death. He doesn't mind being someone's dog as long as there is money to be made.

In this respect, he is quite a scary person, but he has a weakness: he loves money but values his life even more.

Meng Junhao is no small figure in the East Sea. Although he can't compare to the top figures, the fact that his Longdun Company is contracted to handle security for all major events, concerts, corporate annual meetings, and various large-scale commercial activities in the East Sea shows that his influence is extraordinary.

Although the security business cannot be compared with other businesses, since each company has its own security personnel, it only outsources security services in special circumstances.

However, the Rongduan Security Company has a monopoly in the East Sea and ranks among the top in the entire East China Region. Other security companies simply cannot compete with it and can only take on some small events. Large events are all blocked by circuit breakers, and they even keep an eye on some large official events.

Meng Junhao was able to cooperate with the public security authorities and have his companies handle some of the security matters.

Meng Junhao has deep ties to the public security system; he shouldn't have gone so far as to be scared into wanting to run away.

Unfortunately, this time he offended Ding Ruilong and Li Ruotai.

Wu Chen continued to smile at Meng Junhao without saying a word.

Meng Junhao was getting restless.

I guessed Wu Chen finally spoke. He glanced out the window, then looked at Meng Junhao, and said with a faint smile, "Ding Ruilong will soon send someone to sabotage me."

You should know that Ding Ruilong has been investigating me in every aspect recently.

Meng Junhao knew, of course, that the young man in front of him was Li Ruobing's boyfriend, Wu Chen.

Although he wasn't in charge of receiving the information from Wu Chen, he knew it.

Mr. Wu, what do I, Meng Junhao, want to explain?

I know this isn't your responsibility.

Wu Chen said something that reassured him, but the next sentence sent chills down his spine.

I also know that Ding Ruilong asked you to investigate my activity patterns because you have a lot of men under you.

Wu Chen grinned after he finished speaking.

Meng Junhao's expression changed drastically. As a double agent, he immediately realized the implications of the situation.

If you inform Li Ruotai, Ding Ruilong will have no chance to spread rumors about me, and he will definitely suspect that you will kill you.

But if you don't inform Li Ruotai, Ding Ruilong's men successfully take action against me, then no matter the outcome, Li Ruotai will realize you're in trouble, and you'll still die.

Wu Chen chuckled as he spoke, implying that in a few days, no matter what you do, one of Ding Ruilong and Li Ruocan will kill you, right?

Meng Junhao was truly in a dead end. Meng Junhao suddenly stood up, his eyes wide, and then took a step forward and knelt down before Wu Chen. He moved two steps towards Wu Chen while kneeling and cried out, "Mr. Wu, save me! Save me!"

Okay, from now on I'll listen to whatever you say!

Mr. Wu, that concludes this episode. Welcome back for more!
