As Jiang Pingyuan spoke, he quickly poured the wine.

“Waiter, hurry up and serve a few more plates of your side dishes!”

When Wu Qinghe heard this and saw Jiang Pingyuan’s flattering expression, he immediately said impatiently, “Alright, stop trying to flatter me! How about this? I have a few friends. After you settle them down, I’ll come and read your fortune!”

As Wu Qinghe spoke, he pointed at Li Xiaoran, Luo Cheng, and the others.

When Jiang Pingyuan saw this, he immediately nodded.

“Come, come, come. Hurry up and sit down. Eat whatever you want. It’s my treat today!”

Li Xiaoran glanced at Wu Qinghe and smiled. Then, she pulled Shu Ruyue to sit down at an empty table at the side.

“Alright, waiter, come over and introduce what delicious food there is in your shop!”

Luo Cheng glanced at Wu Qinghe and smiled before sitting down.

The waiter quickly came over and introduced the signature dishes of the wine shop to Li Xiaoran and the others.

After Li Xiaoran heard this, she ordered a pot of fruit wine and a pot of high-quality wine. In the end, she ordered all the side dishes. At the same time, Jiang Pingyuan’s table of side dishes was served.

Jiang Pingyuan quickly called Wu Qinghe to eat.

“Sigh, I’m really hungry. Let me eat some food first!” Wu Qinghe picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of fried mushroom to put in his mouth. “The side dishes here are really delicious!”

Wu Qinghe saw a thin man sitting there without speaking, so he asked, “This is your partner, right?”

The thin man raised his eyebrows when he heard Wu Qinghe’s words.

“Master, I don’t have the money to have you read my fortune, so don’t waste your time on me!”

“Sigh, Gong Yang, if he gives you some pointers, just accept it humbly!” Jiang Pingyuan quickly persuaded when he saw that his friend was so rude.

“Hmph, I’ve never associated myself with these swindlers. Jiang Pingyuan, I see that you don’t have the time to talk to me today, so I’ll take my leave now!” Gong Yang snorted and put down his chopsticks before getting up to leave.

Before he could leave the table, Wu Qinghe grabbed Gong Yang’s hand. “Let go of me!” Gong Yang was furious and wanted to shake off Wu Qinghe’s hand.

Unfortunately, Wu Qinghe’s hand grabbed Gong Yang’s hand so tightly that he couldn’t break free.

“If you don’t let go, I’ll get someone to teach you a lesson!” Gong Yang threatened angrily.

Wu Qinghe stood up and smiled at Gong Yang. “You can’t leave today! If you leave, I won’t be able to earn this gold ingot!”

Jiang Pingyuan watched the scene in front of him in confusion.

“Master, if Gong Yang doesn’t like these sorts of things, let him go!”

When Wu Qinghe heard Jiang Pingyuan’s words, he turned around and said, “You’re really kind! Do you know that if you let him go now, you’ll become a penniless person? You won’t even be able to afford the meal. You’ll have to beg your way home!”

When Jiang Pingyuan heard this, he was even more confused.

“Master, are you mistaken?! He’s indeed my partner, but he won’t treat me like that! ”

Wu Qinghe laughed when he heard this.

“Do you know why nothing has gone smoothly recently? The reason is this person! He’s the cause of all the trouble you’ve experienced. Is he the reason you’re here now? Did you order goods from him? You’ve already paid him, right?!”

Jiang Pingyuan was shocked when he heard this.

“Yes, yes, yes. Master, how can you be so accurate?!”

When Gong Yang heard this, he had a bad feeling. At this moment, he felt that things couldn’t continue like this.

Thinking of this, Gong Yang stabbed a sharp weapon hidden in his sleeve at Wu Qinghe’s hand.

Unfortunately, someone was faster.

With a crisp sound, Shu Ruyue’s sword cut off his sharp weapon and pointed at Gong Yang’s throat.

“Don’t move. If you move, you won’t be able to keep your life!” Shu Ruyue’s voice sounded in Gong Yang’s ear.

Gong Yang immediately stopped moving. After all, he cherished his life.

Shu Ruyue looked at Gong Yang and walked over slowly before tapping his acupoints.

“Alright! There’s no problem now. Continue!” Shu Ruyue put away her sword and returned to her seat.

“Thank you!” Wu Qinghe let go and thanked Shu Ruyue with a smile.

“Don’t stand on ceremony. It’s no big deal!” Shu Ruyue said indifferently.

After dealing with Gong Yang, Wu Qinghe looked at Jiang Pingyuan.

“Your luck was good in the past few years, but because you became rich too quickly, you attracted the jealousy of some people. That’s why someone schemed against you! If I’m not mistaken, did this person called Gong Yang appear by your side three years ago?! Your cooperation has probably lasted for two years already, right?!”

Jiang Pingyuan nodded and his eyes lit up as he looked at Wu Qinghe. “That’s right, that’s right. Master, you’re really accurate!”

When Wu Qinghe heard this, he said angrily, “Didn’t you hear what I said previously( He’s been scheming against you! Why don’t you search him and see what you can find?!”

Jiang Pingyuan froze for a moment before coming to Gong Yang’s side.

Gong Yang wanted to defend himself, but when he opened his mouth, he realized that he could no longer make a sound.

It turned out that Shu Ruyue had tapped his mute acupoint previously, preventing him from making a sound.

Soon, Jiang Pingyuan found some letters and papers from Gong Yang.

When the papers were found, the way Jiang Pingyuan looked at Gong Yang changed.

“Isn’t this the contract we signed? Why did you steal this contract?” Gong Yang couldn’t speak now, so he could only express his thoughts with his eyes.

Unfortunately, Jiang Pingyuan didn’t look at Gong Yang at all. Instead, his gaze landed on the letters.

For some reason, Jiang Pingyuan suddenly had an urge to open the letters and read them.

After reading the letters, Jiang Pingyuan’s face paled and he looked at Gong Yang hatefully.

“Why? Why exactly? All these years, I’ve treated you as a buddy! In the end, this is how you repay me? You tricked me into signing the contract and got someone to scheme against me and take my life? Gong Yang, Gong Yang, are you worthy of my trust?”
