In the coffee shop, Bai Wei followed the bodyguard who rushed over. Tong Yanqi and Lu Manxi hadn't seen each other for a while, and it was a rare opportunity for them to sit down and chat. They were not ready to end their date in a hurry.

"You're so good, Manman. You didn't even tell me about this kind of thing in advance." This made her feel guilty twice.

Tong Yanqi picked up a biscuit and stuffed it into Lu Manxi's mouth without forgetting to glance at her.

Lu Manxi blinked slowly. She actually wanted to give Xixi a little surprise.

Now, Lu Manxi wisely changed the subject: "I've heard some news about the Yu family. Tell me what happened today and I'll help you analyze it."

Tong Yanqi drank a sip of milk, considered his words, and then slowly spoke: "Well... I heard the news this morning that the eldest brother of the Yu family was missing, and then..."

She recounted everything that had happened this morning, emphasizing the key points: "I was right there when Zhizhi called. Based on Zhizhi's reaction, I think it's very likely that Sima Luhua was responsible for all of this."

Lu Manxi's brows were furrowed, her eyes blank, as if she was thinking about something, her bright red nails tapping on the table.

The gentle knocking sound started out very regularly, but then the rhythm suddenly became disordered and no longer regular. Then the knocking sound suddenly stopped. Lu Manxi clasped her hands together, looked at Tong Yanqi and asked:

"Hua Yuanjun broke up with Sima Luhua because Sima Luhua coveted the Hua family's assets?"

"Ah?" Tong Yanqi didn't understand why Manman's thoughts jumped so quickly. While they were chatting, the topic suddenly turned to Brother Hua.

However, Tong Yanqi did not refuse to answer. Instead, he recalled the news he had learned from Brother Hua a few days ago and nodded in confirmation: "Yes, Brother Hua told me that Sima Luhua has been actively promoting cooperation between the Sima and Hua families, hoping to make the Hua family a stepping stone for the Sima family to return to the motherland."

Speaking of this, Tong Yanqi couldn't help but frown. She felt that Brother Hua didn't like Sima Luhua anymore, otherwise he wouldn't have used such words.

Brother Hua is a businessman. He built his business bit by bit with his life. Sima Luhua wants to make Brother Hua suffer a great loss to pave the way for other families. How could Brother Hua agree to that?

Anyway, Tong Yanqi couldn't accept it if he put himself in their shoes.

Lu Manxi smiled and pointed out, "In fact, Sima Luhua is coveting the Hua family's assets. Once the unequal cooperation between the two families is established, and the Sima family interferes and stabs them in the back, the Hua family will have no choice but to submit to the Sima family."

Moreover, the Sima family is a local tyrant abroad and a notorious evil force. Once Hua Yuanjun understands some of the situation, he will not agree to cooperate with the Sima family.

So the breakup of the two was inevitable.

However, these are all old news. What is important now is——

"I suspect Sima Luhua has set her sights on the Yu family and wants to annex them, or take advantage of the turmoil in the Yu family to tear off a few big pieces of meat."

Sima Luhua's words were like a bolt of lightning, shocking Tong Yanqi so much that his black almond-shaped eyes widened. He looked like a hedgehog that had encountered its natural enemy, with all its spines standing up alertly.

Lu Manxi explained, "I've researched Sima Luhua. What she values most is profit. Men are just a spice in her life."

"If she puts a lot of effort into something, it means she wants to gain something from it."

"So, Sima Luhua pursued Yu Wenzhi and was rejected repeatedly, yet she still stubbornly persisted. Rather than thinking she was just in love and had her eyes on Yu Wenzhi, I'd rather believe this woman had her eyes on the Yu family."

That makes a lot of sense.

Tong Yanqi lowered his eyes. "So, the news of the Yu family's eldest brother's disappearance was most likely leaked by Sima Luhua. Her purpose was to cause unrest in the Yu family so that she could take action."

"Be bolder. Yu Minzhi's disappearance might have been caused by the Sima family."

Zhizhi also had such doubts.

Tong Yanqi's eyelids were slightly closed, and his long, thick eyelashes trembled slightly, making it impossible to tell his emotions.

"You are powerless to control the intrigues in the business world, so the most important thing for you now is to protect yourself and not let Sima Luhua and the others take advantage of you. For the rest, trust the Yu family and trust us."

Lu Manxi couldn't help but reach out and gently pinch Tong Yanqi's smooth little face, comforting her softly.

Tong Yanqi nodded silently, then slowly stood up with a determined look in his eyes: "Let's go, I still have to live broadcast tonight."

Although she couldn't help much, she could do some small things to the best of her ability, such as taking care of Yu Wenzhi's health, restraining Yu Haoxuan, and... continuing the live broadcast as usual.

In the company, Yu Haoyuan was extremely busy.

When he first joined the company, he needed to understand the company's business and situation. He worked at the grassroots level and also served as Yu Wenzhi's assistant. Now he has been promoted to general manager.

It’s no wonder that since he joined the company, he has to work overtime and socialize every day even though he has a limp.

Hearing that his brother Yu Haoxuan was scolded for absenting himself from work today, Yu Haoyuan was speechless. He finally understood why his parents placed all their hopes on him even though his brother was older.

Even if he hadn't had a car accident due to speeding, his parents would have found other reasons to get him into the company and work like a slave.

"Huh——" After finishing the work in his hands, Yu Haoyuan let out a long sigh and rubbed his temples tiredly.

I hope Dad is okay.

He frowned and closed his eyes to rest during the short break, but his mind couldn't help but flash back to the scene of his old father scolding him not long ago.

"Ding-ling-ling—" The phone rang, and Yu Haoyuan quickly opened his eyes and stood up, picked up the phone and answered: "Hello, I am Yu Haoyuan, the general manager of Yu Group. What can I do for you?"

"It's me, Hua Yuanjun."

Hearing the brief words on the other end of the phone, Yu Haoyuan instantly perked up, his eyes shining: "Brother Hua!"

God bless him, he didn't know how many calls he received today, and basically 90% of them were from Yu's partners or relatives and friends who called to inquire about his father's news.

He was exhausted from coping.

Now when I suddenly hear Brother Hua’s voice, it is like hearing heavenly music and my ears are suddenly enlightened.

"My people abroad haven't found any trace of your father yet, and we've roughly understood the situation. Your father got separated from his assistant while trying to escape capture, leaving only a personal bodyguard with him. The two of them are nowhere to be found."

"But there's also good news. The Sima family hasn't caught your father."

These words confirmed that the Sima family was responsible for Yu Minzhi's disappearance.

"Okay, thank you Brother Hua for your help." Although Yu Haoyuan was worried, he was finally not so frightened.

It’s good to have some news. He hasn’t been arrested. Maybe my father will be found soon!
