Xu Yue soon met Li Gu.

She was originally going to find Jiang Lier first, but when she heard that Jiang Lier and Zhou Mobei had both gone to find Zhou Jiaxing, she was taken aback.

Jiang Lier and Zhou Mobei are actually insignificant figures to Xu Yue.

However, even the smallest fly is annoying, and a very annoying one at that, so she planned to have the two of them harass Lu Zheng first. But when she heard this news, she was very surprised. It turns out that Lu Zheng, Ming Xiang and the Zhou family are related.

She knew Zhou Jiaxing, but the Zhou family was actually not a big deal in the Xia family.

At other times, someone like Xu Yue would never have any interaction with the Zhou family. She mainly looks down on the Zhou family, thinking they are nothing but trash compared to the Xia family.

However, the Zhou family and the Xia family also have dealings.

At that time, she was just putting on an act, pretending to cultivate a relationship with the Zhou family, but in reality, she deeply resented the Xia family.

But now, Xia Ruo has been kicked out of the family, and her status has plummeted. The Zhou family's status is now even higher than hers and Xia Ruo's, so for her, this is definitely a resource she can use.

But now she's not in a hurry to go, because she needs a medium to get the Zhou family to come to them, so that they can maintain their superior status.

Also, although Xia Ruo messed things up in front of that intermediary manager, it was because Xia Ruo didn't handle things well.

Xu Yue was far more cunning than Xia Ruoke. Before she arrived, she contacted some members of the Xia family who favored sons over daughters.

These people didn't want Xia Linyu to become the head of the family, but they owed their positions to Xia Linyu's father. So they didn't dare to openly oppose her, but they were willing to secretly help Xia Ruo and Xu Yue, who was usually very respectful to them.

She had these people act as if Xia Ruo was still the future successor of the Xia family.

Given this, Zhou Heng and his son Zhou Jiaxing would inevitably come to them for help, rather than them seeking help from the Zhou family to deal with Lu Zheng.

It has to be said that this woman is indeed much smarter and more ruthless than Xia Ruo. Xia Ruo doesn't have such methods.

And Li Gu is undoubtedly the most suitable person to act as the middleman.

Although Li Gu had recovered from the grief of Li Jingxuan's arrest, his hatred for Lu Zheng undoubtedly outweighed everything else.

He knew he was no match for the Xia family, and he didn't care even if he knew Xia Ruo had been kicked out of the Xia family.

He certainly won't tell anyone, and this is absolutely advantageous for this woman, so she must make good use of it.

Therefore, she did not hesitate to choose Li Gu first.

"Mr. Li, Lu Zheng is our common enemy. If you can cooperate with me, you can also gain the support of my Xia family in the future. Wouldn't that be killing two birds with one stone?"

Xu Yue gently picked up the teacup in front of her and took a sip.

Then he smiled and said to Li Gu.

Li Gu glanced at her and said, "What do you want me to do?"

"Hehe, Mr. Li is so direct?" Xu Yue was secretly surprised, but also a little pleased.

Why?

Hearing Li Gu's words made her suddenly realize that Li Gu now had an eagerness to get rid of Lu Zheng.

Under normal circumstances, a businessman like him wouldn't show it even if he had such thoughts. No matter who it is, showing an extremely strong desire first will put you at a disadvantage.

Li Gu also has a business mind; otherwise, he wouldn't have achieved what he has today.

He also taught Li Jingxuan.

His only mistake in life was believing that his son was capable of dealing with Lu Zheng, and he was too eager to give his son a chance to prove himself in the company.

In fact, his son was simply not cut out for it. Not only did he lack vision, but his intelligence was also far inferior to Lu Zheng's.

Ultimately, he sometimes blamed himself, thinking that if he hadn't given Li Jingxuan a chance back then, perhaps Li Jingxuan wouldn't have gone to jail.

Rather than saying he hated Lu Zheng, sometimes he actually hated himself.

But he needed to find someone to vent his anger on, and that person couldn't be himself, so it could only be Lu Zheng.

He was naturally impatient. He would rather be at a disadvantage and gain nothing than see Lu Zheng get into trouble.

Xu Yue saw through his behavior.

She had previously thought that Li Gu wanted to negotiate some terms with her, but she never expected that this guy's mindset had changed like this.

That's good, at least it's beneficial for her.

However, she still had to ask a question, albeit pretending to be serious.

Li Gu stared into Xu Yue's eyes: "I don't need anything right now. I only need one thing, and that is to kill Lu Zheng, preferably a gruesome one."

What he wants to see now is no longer the business battlefield, he doesn't care whether it's a business tactic or not, and he doesn't just want Lu Zheng to go to jail.

He now only has two choices: either keep his position in the company or save his son.

Which one can he choose?

He chose the company!

In this way, even if his son goes to jail, he cannot get involved in anything to prevent others from using it against him.

As a result, Li Jingxuan will be involved in every crime imaginable, and he will likely face at least ten or twenty years in prison.

Even if his son is born one day, will he still recognize him as his father?

Even when he wanted to visit Li Jingxuan in prison recently, Li Jingxuan refused to see him at all.

After returning, he no longer cared whether his business had recovered or not.

That heartache is something I still can't shake off.

Xu Yue was very satisfied with his current reaction, but she did not show any excitement.

After taking another sip of tea, she stood up and walked to the window, looking at the city lights twinkling in the distance, and said, "Yes, he should die! Not only should he lose everything he has now, you're right."

Li Gu didn't want to hear any of that; he just wanted the answer he wanted. So he said coldly, "Miss Xu, just say it. What exactly do you need me to do? Be clear and don't beat around the bush. You know how I feel right now. As long as I can deal with Lu Zheng, I'm willing to do it."

Xu Yue smiled and said, "Would you be willing to go to jail for that?"

Li Gu snorted coldly: "Don't even mention going to jail, I'd do anything, even go through fire and water."

"Okay! Actually, it's not that serious. I just made it sound so serious. In fact, what I want you to do is very simple. I want you to find a way to let Zhou Heng and his son know that the eldest young master of the Xia family has arrived in a seemingly casual manner."

"And you need to let him know that the eldest young master of the Xia family came for Lu Zheng and has a grudge against him, understand?"
