“I thought you were just passing the time in the company, but I didn't expect you to actually dare to pull the trigger.” In the silence, the middle-aged woman pointed out by Lu Xin did not try to escape. Instead, she slowly pushed others aside and walked into the crowd. Facing the muzzle of Lu Xin's gun, there was no trace of fear on her face. She just said indifferently, "We have guns too, but we didn't prepare in advance. It doesn't matter that you are pointing at us. Consider this as our concession. Let you go today..." “If the Security Department catches you afterward, it has nothing to do with us!” “If the Security Department doesn't catch you, then we'll meet again in the jianghu (underworld)!”

"..." The Security Department strictly investigates firearms within the High Wall City, so even for them, there are very few guns left inside the city. Companies like theirs, which often need to travel outside the city, usually establish their own secret supply depots outside the city. It's not just guns they might have; they could even have small armories. However, under the strict surveillance of the High Wall City patrol army, it is impossible to bring in too many weapons and firearms once you enter the city, otherwise, they will be severely punished for serious crimes. Of course, under such high pressure, they still have ways to smuggle in a gun or two for self-defense, but they could not possibly carry such weapons on them in advance. Caught off guard and pointed at with a gun by Lu Xin, they lost the initiative. This woman's mind is undoubtedly very agile, and her words are seamless. Logically speaking, once Lu Xin fires a gun here, the Security Department has no reason not to intervene, and he might be arrested and sent outside the wall to reclaim land. But she also made it clear that if the Security Department does not arrest Lu Xin, then they will naturally retaliate in their own way, following the rules of the jianghu. On the side, Princess Xiao Qing and Lü Cheng were so frightened that their legs went weak and their faces turned pale. The moment they saw Lu Xin take out a gun, their worldview almost collapsed. People who grew up inside High Wall City always felt that guns were something far removed from them. Hearing the words of the female manager, the hooligans let go of Lü Cheng and Princess Xiao Qing and even cleared a path. However, their gazes were indifferent, looking at Lu Xin as if they were looking at a dead man. But Lu Xin showed no intention of turning around and said, "I won't leave, we haven't finished our business."

The woman who was being pointed at with a gun paused for a moment and said, 'At this time, you still want to talk business with me?' 'Yes,' Lu Xin nodded and said, 'But the price needs to be negotiated. It can't be whatever you say it is.' After a slight pause, he added, 'It has to be fair.' The expression on the woman's face suddenly became very complex. The expressions of the people around also became very complex. 'I've pointed a gun at others to do business many times, and I've even negotiated business while dangling someone above a pond full of madmen, but this is the first time I've had someone point a gun at my woman to talk business with me...' It was at this moment that a man stumbled out of another office behind him. He was tall, his face covered in stubble, with a cigarette dangling from his mouth. He wore a dirty but seemingly very durable camouflage uniform, and on his head was a red beret that did not look like the style of the Qinggang City Patrol Army, and it was unclear where he had scavenged it from. Upon seeing him, everyone around subconsciously lowered their heads. Even the woman who was being held at gunpoint called out to him, 'Boss, this person...' The man waved his hand and said to Lu Xin, 'Put the gun down, you got the upper hand, I won't trouble you today.' 'Oh.' Hearing this, Lu Xin put down the gun and even tucked it into his backpack. Princess Xiaoqing and Lü Cheng both widened their eyes, full of confusion. 'Business as usual, you two go talk!'

The man nodded to the woman who had been held at gunpoint before, and then said to Lu Xin, 'Young man, follow me.' The development of the situation was unexpected, and everyone present was somewhat puzzled. Lü Cheng and Princess Xiao Qing were quickly pushed back into that office, while Lu Xin obediently followed the man into the bungalow from which he had emerged. The house was actually quite well-decorated, with wooden flooring, a chandelier hanging above, a large sofa on the left, and in front of the sofa was a glass coffee table, on which sat a plate of dumplings, several steamed buns, and a dish of red pickled chili peppers. The man sat down and started eating on his own. His way of eating was very strange; he chewed very slowly, but without stopping, with an unusual sense of greed. It wasn't particularly good food, yet he ate it with great seriousness. Lu Xin didn't rush to answer his words, but subconsciously glanced at the spread of food on the table. Several plates had already been thrown aside, with some food remnants on them, as if they had just been eaten. How much must he have eaten? ... 'After staying in the wilderness for so long, once I come to the city, I always feel like I can't eat enough,' Qin Ran said, taking a bite of a steamed bun and then a dumpling, looking sideways at Lu Xin: 'Want some?' Lu Xin quickly shook his head: 'I'm not hungry.'

Regarding Qin Ran's peculiar hobby, Lu Xin was actually quite understanding. Inside and outside the Great Wall City were two completely different worlds. The Great Wall City, especially Qinggang City, was one of the first places to solve the problem of food shortage. It was said to be related to the reconstruction of agricultural technology and mysterious wild species. Within the Great Wall City, there was a certain amount of livestock industry, vast farms, and even some mechanized operations. However, outside the city, these were luxuries that people dared not even dream of. Outside the city, there were many organizations in a state of food shortage, where hunger was even a normal condition for those in the wilderness. The only way for them to achieve a warm and full life was to give up their arms outside the wilderness and come into the Great Wall City to live. However, although Qinggang City had relatively abundant supplies, where money could buy grain, oil, salt, and even meat, this was only limited within the Great Wall City. To buy food inside the city and then take it outside to enjoy was a very strict matter. The two most well-known serious crimes within the Great Wall City were: The first was smuggling firearms in; The second was smuggling food out. …… …… 'Having gotten used to the hard life of fighting for survival in the wilderness, one would particularly care about a life where you can eat your fill, sleep soundly, and not worry about your woman pulling out a grenade from her pants and blowing you up during intimacy. In this Great Wall City, even I try to avoid trouble as much as possible, everyone follows the rules, you give me an inch, I give you an inch, and everyone's life can still be considered manageable, isn't it?'

Qin Ran merely shifted aside slightly and then continued to eat on his own, only casting a glance at Lu Xin after a while: 'So, speak up, young man, what brings you to me?' His eyes carried a lazy yet dangerous aura, as if he had already seen through Lu Xin, and he said indifferently, 'I've seen many who do business with guns outside the wall, but you, from the look of you, have never been outside the wall, so tell me the truth.' 'Who sent you here, and what's the purpose?' '...' Lu Xin first carefully sized him up, compared him with the information he had, and then said, 'Are you Qin Ran?' The man looked at Lu Xin and didn't answer directly, but instead smiled and asked, 'Come to kill me?' His hand seemed to still be holding chopsticks, but the other hand had already dropped down, reaching towards the bottom of the wooden coffee table. 'No,' Lu Xin shook his head and said, 'I came to ask if you've encountered some strange things?' Hearing this, Qin Ran's face suddenly changed, seemingly fearful, and he whispered, 'Is it you who's plotting against me?' As he spoke, his hand that had been hanging under the table suddenly lifted, clutching a gun.
