“There is a high chance that something unexpected might happen to me this time. I will tell Secretary Ge later that you will be in charge of the company from now on.”

"My children and the family are now in your hands."

Looking at Lu Yi in front of him, Lu Fan was also very worried about what might happen during his trip to the Oriental Group.

Her child had just been born, so she had to make sure she had everything arranged before she passed away.

"Brother, don't say that. I'll definitely come back safely. Don't worry about things at home. I'll take good care of everything."

"Don't worry, I'll wait outside the company. If anything happens, I'll bring people in directly. I doubt that guy surnamed Qu would dare to do anything in front of me."

Dongfang Shuo, who was sitting to the side, was also moved by the brotherhood between Lu Fan and Lu Yi.

Originally, she didn't want to get involved in this matter anymore, but after thinking about it, she felt she should do something, so she said to Lu Fan as well.

"Alright, with you all protecting me, I'm confident I can go and meet this Old Qu."

Looking at Dongfang Shuo and Lu Yi, Lu Fan, who had been uncertain before, was now full of confidence. Thinking that Jiang Manyue was in their hands, he quickly got up and walked outside after speaking.

Dongfang Shuo and Lu Yi followed behind. Dongfang Shuo drove to wait outside the Dongfang Group, while Lu Yi went to make a phone call.

"Mr. Qu, let's go now."

Zhang Xinlei returned to the company and entered the office. She saw that Old Qu had changed into a black outfit. After thinking for a moment, she knew why. She spoke to Old Qu, who was still thinking about something.

"Okay, let's go."

Upon hearing Zhang Xinlei's words, Mr. Qu returned from his imagination to reality.

——

Ring ring ring!

Just as Mr. Qu was about to leave with Zhang Xinlei, the office landline rang.

Mr. Qu did not take it, but gave Zhang Xinlei a gesture.

"Who is this? This is the general manager's office of the Oriental Group."

Zhang Xinlei, understanding Bai Qu Lao's meaning, picked up the phone and asked the person on the other end.

"Mr. Qu, it's Lu Fan from the Jiang Group calling."

Upon hearing the name of the person making the call, Zhang Xinlei was surprised. She covered the receiver with her hand and turned to talk to Old Qu.

"I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and you dare to call me first!"

When Old Qu heard that it was Lu Fan calling, he thought for a moment, walked over and took the phone from Zhang Xinlei, and angrily said to Lu Fan on the other end of the line.

"Hey Qu, if you have a problem, come at me, don't mess with my family!"

"Hmph, you killed my son, so you won't let me do the same? I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine!"

Old Master Qu snorted coldly, finding Lu Fan's words extremely naive.

Now that it's a blood feud involving the killing of one's own child, what moral principles are left to uphold?

"So it was you who did it! Hand over my wife right now, or I'll make you regret it!"

At this moment, Lu Fan also lost his usual composure. Listening to what the person surnamed Qu said, he believed that the other party was responsible for this, and angrily said to him.

"Do you think I'm the kind of person who's afraid of threats? I remember telling you before that I wanted to invite you to the Oriental Group, and today is a good opportunity."

After listening to Lu Fan's words, Old Qu looked at Zhang Xinlei and realized that he was the one who ordered the kidnapping of Jiang Manyue. Hearing Lu Fan's angry voice, he smiled and said to Lu Fan.

"I'm coming right now! But if you dare to harm even a hair on my wife's head, I will not let you off the hook! I, Lu Fan, never make empty promises!"

Having already guessed that Elder Qu would definitely send him over, Lu Fan warned Elder Qu as he drove.

"If you had arrived late, I can't say what might have happened."

Hearing Lu Fan threaten him, Old Master Qu, who had also climbed his way up to this position through hard work and struggle, realized he had seen many people like Lu Fan before.

He didn't care at all, but seeing Lu Fan's worried expression towards Jiang Manyue, Old Master Qu deliberately smiled and said something to him.

"If you dare to do that, you can try!"

Lu Fan hung up the phone after saying that, and sped up his driving, wanting to get to the Oriental Group as soon as possible.

"Xiao Zhang is quite efficient. We'll stay here and wait for Lu Fan to come find us."

Hearing that Lu Fan had hung up the phone, Old Master Qu breathed a sigh of relief. As if seeing Lu Fan's anxious expression, he sat back down in his chair and looked at Zhang Xinlei.

"What's wrong?"

Caught off guard by Mr. Qu's sudden praise, Zhang Xinlei didn't react and asked him a question.

"Didn't you already tie up Lu Fan's wife? Just now, Lu Fan was anxiously asking me for her."

Seeing Zhang Xinlei's unaware expression, Old Master Qu spoke to her as he had learned something.

"Well, I entrusted this matter to Shangqiu. He should have just succeeded and hasn't had time to tell me yet."

Upon hearing that Lu Fan's wife had been kidnapped, he remembered that he had asked Shangqiu to do it.

"Take a few security guards and wait at the entrance. When Lu Fan arrives, you and the guards bring him here. Search him thoroughly and make sure he doesn't bring any weapons. Once he's inside, seal the gate! He can only leave, no one can enter!"

Knowing that Lu Fan had walked right into their trap, they knew they couldn't let him leave easily, so they gave Zhang Xinlei a brief explanation.

He had made up his mind that this time, he would make sure Lu Fan never returned!

"Understood, I'll arrange it right away, but what if Elder Qu does this?!"

Upon hearing Mr. Qu's arrangements, Zhang Xinlei knew what to do, but she was still somewhat worried about Mr. Qu's decision.

"No need to say anything! I know what to do."

Old Qu raised his hand to interrupt Zhang Xinlei from continuing, looking out the window as he spoke.

Zhang Xinlei had been with Master Qu for so long, and once she made up her mind about something, no amount of persuasion from others could change it. She could only sigh and leave the office to make arrangements for Lu Fan's arrival later.

"Keep an eye on the door. Only let people go out, don't let anyone in. And you guys, when I take the guest upstairs, you follow. Once we're in the office, stand next to Elder Qu and don't let that person get close to him."

After Zhang Xinlei arrived on the first floor, she called out all the security guards.

After assigning tasks to each person and explaining everything, they arrived at the company entrance and waited for Lu Fan's arrival.

While waiting, Zhang Xinlei felt uneasy. Logically, Shangqiu should have sent her a message after succeeding, but he neither sent a message nor called her.

Worried, Zhang Xinlei took out her phone and typed a text message to Shangqiu.

"How's it going?"
