"Old Huang, what are you doing?"
Wu Liancheng came to where Huang Peter was staying and found him packing his things, immediately asking curiously.
At this moment, Huang Peter had no intention of hiding it from Wu Liancheng, so he told Wu Liancheng everything that had happened before at Chuanwazi's place.
When Huang Peter spoke about how he didn't know what was happening, he was asked a question by Shao Junjie's friend and couldn't control his mouth, revealing all their plans, Wu Liancheng's face changed immediately.
"Old Huang! You can't be kidding me, can you? You're an old fox, how could you spill everything after just a few questions?"
Wu Liancheng looked at Huang Peter with suspicion after listening.
He even wondered in his heart if Huang Peter wanted to go solo and ditch him.
Seeing Wu Liancheng's expression, Huang Peter guessed what he was thinking. However, he himself felt that what he had just said was too unbelievable, so it was no wonder Wu Liancheng suspected him.
"Old Wu! I know it's hard for you to fully believe what I just said, even I find it incredible, but that's the fact. I have to leave now before those people find me, or it'll be too late."
After speaking, Huang Peter quickly stuffed the remaining things into his bag.
As for what Wu Liancheng thought, that was his business. Huang Peter didn't have the energy to care about him at this moment.
Knock, knock, knock.
As soon as Huang Peter finished packing his suitcase, there was a forceful knocking at the door.
The sudden knocking startled Huang Peter.
Wu Liancheng instinctively walked towards the door, ready to open it.
"Don't open it! Absolutely don't open it!"
Huang Peter shouted nervously.
However, Wu Liancheng peeked through the peephole and then opened the door.
As Huang Peter's heart leaped into his throat, a hotel staff member in uniform walked in.
"Hello, esteemed guest. Here are the clothes you asked to be washed and ironed. They are ready now. Please check if you are satisfied."
Since Huang Peter was staying in a high-end suite in the hotel, many special services were provided, including laundry and ironing.
Seeing the staff member holding his clothes, Huang Peter remembered that he had indeed handed over a set of clothes for cleaning a couple of days ago.
He breathed a long sigh of relief and told the staff member to leave the clothes on the chair by the door.
The staff member nodded and did as instructed, then bowed and left the room.
After the staff member left, Wu Liancheng said, "Old Huang, aren't you a little too nervous?"
Huang Peter picked up the clothes the staff member had just delivered and casually stuffed them into a bag that wasn't fully zipped.
Then, he dragged his suitcase with one hand and carried his bag with the other.
"Old Wu, this operation has been exposed. We need to find separate places to hide for a while. In a few months, if things calm down, I'll contact you."
After speaking, Huang Peter walked towards the door.
However, after only a few steps, he was stopped by Wu Liancheng.
"Old Wu, what do you mean by this?"
Seeing Wu Liancheng blocking his way, Huang Peter frowned slightly.
Wu Liancheng hesitated for a moment, then his gaze became firm. "Old Huang, we've been cooperating for many years, and I know your character very well. You wouldn't leave without getting the money. Are you really willing to give up halfway this time?"
After asking, Wu Liancheng's face was full of disbelief.
It was no wonder he didn't believe it, as Huang Peter was known for being cunning and profit-seeking.
It was impossible for him to give up halfway and abandon the approaching fortune.
As for what Huang Peter had said earlier, about accidentally leaking their plans to Shao Junjie and fearing they would come looking for trouble, Wu Liancheng considered it all just an excuse to get rid of him.
"Old Huang! You said it yourself, we've been cooperating for so many years, and you still suspect me of trying to eat alone? Damn it, I've fallen into someone's trap this time, so I have to lay low for a while!"
If it were in the past, Huang Peter would have immediately reprimanded Wu Liancheng if he dared to speak to him like this. But now, he also knew that his explanation was too far-fetched, which would lead to Wu Liancheng's misunderstanding.
Therefore, Huang Peter could only try his best to suppress his anger and explain to Wu Liancheng the reason for his actions.
"Alright, if you want to go, you can. Just give me back the money I invested this time, and I won't stop you."
Wu Liancheng still refused to move aside. This time, he directly asked for money.
Since Huang Peter intended to abandon him and take everything for himself, he should return the money he invested. Wu Liancheng felt his request was not unreasonable.
Then Huang Peter's expression changed.
Damn it, he was planning to run and lay low now. Where could he get money to give to Wu Liancheng? Besides, even if he were to get money, he would have to wait until the situation calmed down and find a way to get back the money he invested in Shao Junjie's business.
"Old Wu, you know that in this collaboration, I invested more money than you did. It's difficult for me to get so much money for you all at once. Besides, as I told you, I'm just laying low this time. When the storm passes, we can still work together again, and you won't be shortchanged!"
Huang Peter took a deep breath and used his calmest voice to try to make Wu Liancheng change his mind.
However, Wu Liancheng was now determined. No matter what Huang Peter said, he was completely unmoved.
At this point, Wu Liancheng was not listening to anything. Huang Peter saw an opportunity, pushed Wu Liancheng to the ground, took two quick steps, turned the doorknob, and opened the door.
However, as the door opened, Huang Peter saw several people standing outside.
At the front was Shao Junjie, and Gong Chengbin, who had asked him questions at Chuanwazi's place.
"Brother Huang, you're in such a hurry, are you planning to go out?"
Shao Junjie saw Huang Peter opening the door, holding a suitcase in one hand and a bag in the other, and spoke proactively.
Gong Chengbin, standing on the other side, smiled and said, "Ajie, Mr. Huang is your partner. He's leaving now, and he's carrying such heavy things. Why don't you help him with them?"
Huang Peter's face turned extremely grim. He immediately grabbed the doorknob, intending to close the door again.
However, the door was only halfway closed when someone forcefully pushed it open. No matter how hard Huang Peter tried, it wouldn't budge.
"Brother Huang, I remember you were very hospitable before. Why are you not welcoming me now?"
"Whether you welcome me or not, I'm here today because there are some things I need to discuss with Brother Huang."
As he finished speaking, Shao Junjie walked into the room without even looking at Huang Peter, followed by Gong Chengbin.
Huang Peter stood at the door, looking at the several burly men staring at him outside. He knew he couldn't escape.
So he could only turn around and walk back into the room.
At the same time, Wu Liancheng, who had just gotten up from the ground, looked at Shao Junjie, who had just entered the room, with a look of panic.
It was only at this moment that he realized that what Huang Peter had said before might have been true.
But even if he understood, it was already too late.
