But when he thought about this, he felt helpless and hesitant. He had too little information to expand on the matter.

He felt somewhat unwilling to let it go like this.

"Is the Ximen family planning to take over the entire southern city? With so many enemies around, this is not something the original four great families would do."

Lu Fan casually said something, but that one sentence stunned Nangong Qi, who was sitting next to him. He stared at Lu Fan and muttered the same sentence over and over.

For some reason, the more he repeated it, the more he felt that it was really possible.

"If that's the case, then the current situation might make sense. But why would he do that? They could easily treat this situation as the largest family."

Lu Fan didn't quite understand. Besides, even he wouldn't dare to make such a big decision as to devour a fat man in one bite.

Although the Dongfang family has now collapsed, it still intends to completely devour Lu Fan by gradually annexing and dismantling him.

He couldn't even imagine that the other party would make such an outrageous demand, wanting to take over the entire Nancheng City.

"I don't think it's him who wants to take over Nancheng; it's someone else!"

Considering the various circumstances surrounding the kidnapping cases, Lu Fan felt that someone was definitely behind it all, pushing Poland to the point where things were in this state.

If it were a one-sided development, it would never be this outrageous.

At that moment, Zhang Fan knocked on the door, and when he came in, he took out a document and gave it to Lu Fan.

"Boss, we've realized that there's definitely someone behind the Simon family, and now the Simon family is undergoing a huge change."

The two sons of the Ximen family have now become enemies, and normally, Ximen Xue should become the head of the family.

However, according to the information we have now, Ximen Yu has been appearing frequently recently, and given the strength he has displayed, it is absolutely impossible for him to have done such a thing.

Ximen Yu had also had several encounters with the other party and felt that although he had some strength, it was absolutely impossible for him to control the entire family.

Not to mention the Ximen family, which is the strongest in the world. This large-scale expansion is a decision that the other party could not possibly make. All these circumstances have raised doubts in his mind.

He felt that there were definitely other families behind this, manipulating everything.

However, this so-called family may be the result of intervention from other forces.

"Keep investigating. If we find out who's behind this, things will be easier."

If you press the wrong button, even if you have a lot of anger, you won't be able to stop the other party, and everything you do will eventually be in vain.

Rather than doing that, it's better to wait for the other party to emerge. Lu Fan didn't believe that the other party would be completely lured behind him.

Even if the Ximen family has achieved such a grand scale, there must be some clues behind it all.

"Boss, I'll continue the investigation now!"

After he left, Nangong Qi looked at Lu Fan, and at that moment, a fleeting thought flashed through his eyes.

"Is what he just said true? But I heard that the original patriarch of the Ximen family still wanted to continue to run the family business."

In addition, he is getting on in years; although he is already in his fifties, he is still sharp-minded and admired by many in the business world.

Lu Fan had also heard about this matter; the Ximen family's rise to its current position was definitely not just due to luck.

The main reason is the strength of the Ximen family patriarch, coupled with his vast network of connections. Although the Ximen family has been continuously cultivating the two young masters recently.

But this sudden change caught him somewhat off guard.

He vaguely sensed that this matter was definitely related to Captain Simon Yu.

"If you have the chance, try to get Simon Yu to come out. Maybe you can use him to investigate who is in control."

The scene before him greatly displeased Lu Fan. While the Ximen family was powerful, he couldn't allow them to lord it over him.

Nangong Qi looked at Lu Fan with a serious expression, all traces of her previous teasing. Just then, Jiang Manyue arrived.

He glanced at Nangong Qi beside him, walked straight to Lu Fan's side, and sat in his lap.

Two slender, delicate hands massaged Lu Fan's shoulders incessantly, a sight that truly made single people envious.

With such a beautiful woman sitting in his arms, Lu Fan's heart couldn't help but beat faster, and his gaze turned to Nangong Qi beside him.

"Now that things have come to this, let's work together and at least survive this chaos."

Lu Fan didn't want to become a victim here. He vaguely sensed that Jin Hai was already rife with undercurrents, and he had no control over its strength at all.

This also gives him a headache, as everything is going according to his wishes these days.

Nangong Qi glanced at him and then turned away, not wanting to watch the two of them being so affectionate any longer.

He forcibly suppressed all the envy in his heart, looked away, and suppressed his inner unease.

After he left, Jiang Manyue watched as Lu Fan slowly stood up.

"Pinch me, why did you stop? It felt so good just now."

Lu Fan said with some doubt, in contrast, Jiang Manyue showed a domineering demeanor.

Lu Fan was slightly taken aback by that look. Good heavens, was this going to be another ordeal?

Thinking back to how I just finished all that work yesterday, I'm a little lacking in energy.

If this continues, I'm afraid I'll die in this world of pleasure sooner or later.

"That was just to give you face. Besides, look at yourself. You keep asking me to keep you company."

He spoke in a gruff tone, but his hands were quite honest, kneading Lu Fan's shoulder, which, to be honest, felt very comfortable.

Lu Fan closed his eyes and enjoyed the moment, then pulled Jiang Manyue into his arms and sat her on his lap, massaging her shoulders with both hands.

"My technique isn't very good, so please bear with me."

As soon as the words were spoken, he began to imitate the same pressing technique, repeating it continuously.

During the conversation, Jiang Manyue, who was standing to the side, also revealed her true purpose for coming here.

"We just brought Lao Zhang here by tying him up. Do you want to come with me to take a look? I have a feeling that we can get more clues here."

However, even now, Lu Fan still doesn't know what exactly happened on the other side; the village chief's daughter has been kidnapped.

But why has Lao Zhang betrayed them one after another? He's running out of patience now.
