This is a private room full of nouveau riche atmosphere, and every decoration here is related to gold.

Lin Wen sits in the middle, while Fang Weiwei sits cautiously on the side.

"Call the people from the Thunder Gang."

Lin Wen said to the waiter, who immediately turned and left.

After a long time, the door was pushed open with a bang, and a large group of burly men rushed in, seemingly to show off their power. They all carried guns, knives, and sticks of various sizes.

There were many people, and there were heads everywhere from inside to outside the house.

The crowd parted, and a one-eyed man walked out from the middle. His face was cruel and sinister, and with the scar that ran from his right eye to his neck, he exuded a fierce and vicious aura. But at this moment, his face was full of smiles.

"Sheriff Lin dares to come to the meeting with only his little lover, he really is a heroic young man, admirable."

He raised his hand, and everyone put away their weapons.

"Sheriff Lin trusts us so much, but Long has offended you, so he will punish himself with a cup of wine. I hope Sheriff Lin can forgive me."

He picked up a bottle of white wine on the table, poured himself a cup, and drank it all.

"You guys, go out and watch, don't let any idle people disturb Sheriff Lin's pleasure."

The black-clad little brothers went out one after another, leaving only five people in the room.

The one-eyed man turned around and sat opposite Lin Wen, with two little brothers standing behind him.

"Sheriff Lin."

He lit a cigarette.

"I am a straightforward person, let's speak frankly. I believe everyone is busy with their own affairs, so there is no need to beat around the bush."

He clapped his hands.

As in the last time, a row of heavily made-up and scantily dressed women walked in one by one, placing black suitcases on the table, and the most beautiful one stepped forward and turned the suitcases towards Lin Wen, then opened them one by one.

The three boxes on the left were all money, the three boxes on the right were precious jewels, and the two boxes in the middle were various firearms and weapons.

"What is the Thunder Gang doing, Sheriff Lin must have already known. Last time, our brothers were not calm and caused trouble for Sheriff Lin."

"This is six million cash, this is six million worth of jewels, and these are the elite-class special weapons of the Lehman brothers, which cannot be found on the market. Please accept them as a little token of our appreciation, Sheriff Lin, and release our brothers who have been detained."

The private room fell silent.

Lin Wen remained silent, looking at the money, while Fang Weiwei's face turned pale, holding onto Lin Wen's hand tightly.

The one-eyed man suddenly laughed: "Sheriff Lin, don't worry, our brothers have guarded all the surrounding private rooms, so there is no need to worry about eavesdropping.""We, who lick the blood off our knives, don't have much sentimentality. We speak our minds and exchange interests. Sheriff Lin just turns a blind eye and waves his hand. Why wouldn't he do it?"

"As long as we leave this gate, we forget about this matter. No one owes anyone anything. What does Sheriff Lin think?"

Lin Wen reached out and pressed the leather box in front of him.

"Not appropriate."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two little brothers behind the one-eyed dragon pulled out their guns, and the eight women in the room also took out weapons from unimaginable places. There was a faint commotion around them.

The one-eyed dragon stood up, his smile disappearing from his face. "Sheriff Lin is a young hero. You should think carefully."

Lin Wen smiled slightly and said calmly, "I think we can cooperate further."

The one-eyed dragon was surprised and asked warily, "What does Sheriff Lin mean?"

Lin Wen asked, "What are you smuggling?"

The one-eyed dragon coldly replied, "Do you think I'm afraid to say it? Blood pills, Aiosdi, lime, women, children, we smuggle everything."

Lin Wen smiled and said, "You see, you smuggle so many prohibited items. How many checkpoints do you have to cross, how many inspections do you have to undergo, and how much protection money do you have to pay along the way? You have to hide and run every day, and even if you have money and many brothers, this is not a good thing to do, right?"

The one-eyed dragon's eyes widened.

"And me, I happen to hold great power. I have the power to rule the entire Changshan County. The imperial soldiers listen to me. As long as you are willing to cooperate with me, I can guarantee that you will have no obstacles in Changshan County, and no one will dare to check on you."

Lin Wen leaned back lightly on the sofa, with a smile on his face, appearing calm and composed.

"Dragon boss, we all know that when it rains, you need an umbrella. Those in your line of work face pouring rain all year round. How can you do without an umbrella?"

"And I happen to be that umbrella, your protector. How about it? Are you willing to cooperate?"

The one-eyed dragon's heart suddenly jumped, and the hot blood rushed through his body, but his face darkened.

He knew that if what this young Sheriff Lin said was true, the risk of their entire process could be reduced by half in an instant, and the profits would be explosive.

Generally speaking, few imperial officials dare to directly cooperate with people like them, let alone local officials. Even if they take money to do things, they are extremely cautious and want to get away as soon as possible without getting involved in anything.Therefore, with such generous conditions, there must be a very generous reward!

The one-eyed dragon knew that he could not show any signs of excitement right now, otherwise the other party would definitely ask for a huge price. But he couldn't let go of this deal, otherwise he would regret it for the rest of his life.

The one-eyed dragon put out his cigarette on the table and said calmly, "How can we trust you? How do we know that you won't take the benefits and sell us out?"

Lin Wen smiled and said, "You can take a video now, record our transaction process, and I can even help you with the voiceover."

For a moment, the one-eyed dragon's heart almost jumped out of his throat. He almost blurted out the word "good", but he managed to suppress it with his willpower that had been honed by countless near-death experiences.

But the power of this sentence still made him feel that his face was constantly twitching. Any word he said now would tremble.

He forced himself to stand up and realized that his hands were also trembling.

"I... drank too much, wait a moment."

He forced out these words, trying to make each word sound less shaky, then turned and walked out quickly.

As soon as he left the room, he leaned on the railing because he found that his feet were also trembling.

"Ah Wei!"

He shouted.

A little brother rushed up, "Boss, what's the matter?"

"Tell the people inside to entertain the guests well. If there is any negligence, I will chop them up. Do you understand?"

"I understand, boss!"

The one-eyed dragon calmed down for a minute before striding down the stairs in a hurry.

In the private room.

As soon as the little brothers heard the command in their earphones, they knew that the enviable young man in front of them was already a big shot they couldn't afford to offend.

"Boss... the boss drank too much and has something to take care of. You can do whatever you want."

One of the little brothers was too nervous and his tongue was tied.

Lin Wen couldn't be bothered to talk to him, "You all go out."

The two little brothers were overjoyed and hurriedly ran out, "Thank you, boss. Have fun!"

Lin Wen was about to remind them that they were all people, but the door slammed shut. The most attractive of the eight women came forward, knelt in front of Lin Wen, and sweetly said, "Lin boss, what do you want to do? All of us sisters can do it."

Lin Wen couldn't be bothered to speak and turned to give Fang Weiwei a signal.

But he saw Fang Weiwei staring at him, tears streaming down her fair face, dripping onto his long sleeves.

Lin Wen quickly came up with a flawless plan.Gently raising his hand, he wiped away the tear stains on her face and said softly.

"Vivi, why are you crying?"

Turning his head, he shouted angrily: "Get out of here! Can't you see that you've made my little Vivi cry?"

The eight women in the private room all lost their composure and could only cover their faces and leave.

At the same time, a huge thud came from above, followed by the sound of someone slamming the door and leaving.

PS:

I am really eager to release the later chapters and let you see the upcoming plot.

But even with the current update speed for the new book, it's already quite fast, so I can only maintain two updates, and wait for the explosion later.

I admit that I didn't explain many details clearly in the beginning, and later there were some deviations for the Phoenix Nest plot, she might indeed be not very likable, because her inherent concept and Lin Wen's conflict are huge. Lin Wen never cares about the political aspects that don't involve him deeply. It's not that he doesn't know, but these things are very far from his path. If a cultivator becomes a political figure, even if he can gain more good karma, but if the foundation is destroyed, what's the use of more good karma?

Phoenix Nest will officially join Lin Wen's camp after being tempered, and a grand chapter will unfold from here.

So please be patient and read on, this will definitely be a fascinating and stirring story.

Well~o(* ̄▽ ̄*)o that's it!
