Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned; they hadn't expected the matter to escalate to such a complicated point.

Especially Dongfang Qingtian, he still understood that all the effort he had put in was completely wasted.

Lu Fan, who was standing to the side, simply smiled slightly, as if he had known about this all along.

He had also observed the Eastern family quite a bit behind the scenes. He knew a lot about the bad things they had done behind the scenes, though he didn't know the exact details.

He knew very well that Zhejiang dialect was not a good person to begin with. The sudden expansion of the family business was definitely not a small matter. Money was the main thing behind it!

"Dongfang Taibai, what are you thinking? My Dongfang family is already facing a lot of problems. The casino has already ruined our reputation."

If this matter were to come to light again, it would be a devastating blow to our family!

"The point is to find out if this matter is true or not. If you don't give me an explanation, you won't be able to keep this last position in the family!"

This statement resonated with everyone, and all the blame was directed at the Dongfang family. But what wrong had they done?

Dongfang Qingtian looked up to the sky and roared. He never expected that even with all his meticulous planning, there would be a lapse, and all his efforts would ultimately amount to nothing but a bubble.

His gaze fell upon Lu Fan beside him, a smile playing on his lips. For some reason, he seemed to understand that everything behind the scenes was orchestrated by Lu Fan.

If it weren't for him, this matter wouldn't have escalated to this point.

Everything was originally under their control, but unfortunately, one wrong step led to another.

"You bunch of ingrates! Seriously, do you think I would willingly do these things? Do you really think there's nothing wrong with the money you hold in your hands?"

The crowd below also stopped what they were doing, remembering the money they had received during this period, which was unprecedented.

The family business has been in a slump for the past six months, and many people are looking to make a living elsewhere.

This caused her to completely collapse at this moment, as she had been dissatisfied with the matter for some time and her emotions, which had just begun to stabilize.

"What do you mean by that? The money we earn should be earned honestly and without any problems, but what you're doing now is nothing like what a normal person would do."

"Following my suggestion, remove Dongfang Qingtian and his associates from their positions of authority, and from now on, they shall leave the Dongfang family!"

"I agree. From now on, the old man will continue to be the head of the family!"

Seeing the people below shouting loudly, Dongfang Qingtian finally understood the true colors of these people.

She's a real prostitute, yet she tries to put on a virtuous facade. Does she really think the money in her hands is clean, and that everyone knows what she's done?

They're just a bunch of useless people deceiving themselves; all they're doing is seeking a new kind of comfort.

"I'm telling you today, all the dividends I've received during this period were earned through smuggling."

Although they are just small items, it must be said that all the money in your hands comes from these! If you're going to cause trouble, you might as well hand over all your money and settle things once and for all!

No one spoke; most continued asking the same question.

Lu Fan just smiled at him, completely unconcerned. As for their future development, what did it have to do with him?

His actions were simply to find out what was going on behind the scenes, and that this guy might also be connected to other families.

“I’ve also found some information here, and you have indeed done some despicable things.”

Lu Fan's words plunged them into despair. Everyone understood the immense impact Lu Fan's visit and proposed cooperation would have on them, and they had to completely comply with his demands.

If even the slightest mishap occurs, displeasing the benefactor, they will bear the brunt of all the trouble and conflict that follows; no one else can shoulder that responsibility.

"Since President Lu has spoken, let's do it the way he says."

This statement resonated with those below, who all looked at Lu Fan.

In their view, Lu Fan's words were the key to deciding the final head of the family.

They have long forgotten all their hatred, even though Lu Fan openly led them to this point.

But no one wanted such a large Eastern family to fall completely, because that would be a huge test for them as well.

If problems arise in the end, the trouble will be shared equally among them, and no one wants to take the blame.

Instead of enjoying a good life, she did something with Lu Fan that ultimately led to unpleasantness for both of them.

Don't let Dongfang Shuo's beaming smile fool you. He knows perfectly well that his current predicament is entirely thanks to Xiao Lai, even though he now holds the position of family head.

"Mr. Lu may not know what kind of cooperation we want to have, but our Dongfang family will definitely do our best to cooperate."

Lu Fan simply smiled slightly. He had only come here to see who would ultimately become the head of the family.

However, when he looked at Dongfang Taibai beside him, he didn't think that this father and son would give up so easily.

Having learned about them, he naturally knew that they used quite a few tricks, and no one knew when they would make a comeback.

"Let's leave this matter here. If there's any cooperation in the future, we'll contact you first. Don't worry about that."

Lu Fan turned to leave, but Dongfang Taibai looked at him coldly.

"If you are ruthless, don't blame me for being ruthless. You will definitely pay the price for what happened today. You have ruined your position as the head of the family. In addition to what happened before, most people, except for those from the family, will avoid Dongfang Taibai and his son."

In their view, getting close to him would definitely offend the current head of the family, and if the share of their money changed, it would be a big problem.

After Lu Fan left, Dong Fengyue and the other person walked up behind him. They looked at Lu Fan with gratitude in their eyes.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Lu. Without your help this time, I probably wouldn't have gotten the position of head of the family!"

"We're all helping each other out, and I have other questions for you, about smuggling!"

These words struck Dongfang Shuo and his companion as odd, especially the mention of smuggling, which was an extremely sensitive topic!
