At this moment, Lu Fan realized the seriousness of the situation, especially if even the other party was unaware of it.

What's hidden behind this is probably terrifying.

Ximen Xue, standing to the side, shook his head helplessly; this matter truly made him feel resentful.

However, he was powerless to do anything about the scene before him, as his strength could only go so far.

"We had no choice. The other party never showed up. It was my younger brother who took care of everything."

Besides, we only found out about how big of a thing had happened at the very end!

Seeing Xin Nengxue's helpless expression made Lu Fan frown slightly. He hadn't expected things to be so serious. Just who was this person? How could they do so many terrifying things? He hadn't expected it at all.

I vaguely sensed that, no matter what was said next, the development of this matter was clearly more terrifying than I had imagined.

If things continue like this, he himself may not be able to bear the responsibility in the end.

"How much do you actually know about the other side? Are you completely unaware? If that's the case, even if I help you, I'm afraid I won't be able to gather so much information in such a short time!"

Faced with this answer, Nangong Xue, who was standing to the side, kept thinking about the changes that had occurred during this period. He looked at Lu Fan and also expressed his thoughts.

"I had a vague feeling that they weren't from here, and they seemed to be not far from us."

I suspect their subsequent actions might be related to our smuggling activities!

Just as he was about to continue speaking, a slap landed on his face. His father, standing beside him, frowned and looked at Lu Fan.

He remained silent for a long time, and the scene before him left him somewhat numb.

However, he was even more aware that the hidden troubles within this situation could not be explained clearly in a short period of time.

Especially since their family is involved in smuggling, if the police catch them red-handed, it could have a significant impact after they back out.

Although Lu Fan is now showing that he shares their hatred of the enemy, who knows what he is thinking behind the scenes?

If they were to accidentally stab them in the back, they would have nowhere to turn to cry. That's why he quickly stopped them and then looked at Lu Fan with a smile on his face.

"He knew nothing about this, and we don't know who's behind it either. We're also very upset about this situation."

He was just talking nonsense, please forgive him.

Lu Fan frowned slightly. He didn't think the other party was lying to him, but he was even more aware that the fact that these two had brought this up at this school clearly meant that something might be hidden behind it.

It's just that it's not something they can say right now, and besides, if word gets out about smuggling, it could indeed bring them considerable trouble.

"Since you two have said so, I have nothing more to say. Please feel free to tell me if you have any further plans."

As for this final matter, rest assured, I will absolutely stand by your side, after all, we all share a common enemy!

After Lu Fan finished speaking, he looked at the fine wine and food beside him, as well as everything that had been prepared there.

Based on the information he just received, he felt that there were definitely huge profits behind this smuggling, but he didn't know what they were.

The final question, of course, should be asked of Dongfang Taibai and his son.

"You can eat here first. I have some things to take care of, so I'll be leaving for now."

As the two left, Ximen Xue looked at her father with some confusion.

After confirming that Lu Fan had completely left, he spoke with a slight frown.

"Why didn't Father tell him earlier? This is our only hope of finding our family again!"

"I know about this, but you absolutely cannot tell anyone without my permission, otherwise we will be sinners against the family!"

For him, the immediate benefits were worlds apart from the interests of the entire family. He could endure hardship himself, but if the family fell apart, things would not be so simple.

Because he understood this, he dared not tell Lu Fan about it. He kept everything hidden and waited for an opportunity to have Ximen Yu give him the family.

He believed that with the other party's strength, it was already extremely fortunate that he had obtained the entire Ximen family. If he wanted to maintain this relationship, given his strength, it would be absolutely impossible!

This incident, to some extent, reflects his trust in himself and his understanding of his son.

His gaze drifted towards the Ximen family's residence in the distance, still somewhat hesitant, for that place held a deep longing in his heart.

Unfortunately, the current situation is like that of a stray dog!

Lu Fan then went to another private room, where the Dongfang father and son were looking at him, constantly thinking about what to say next.

"Gentlemen, what's the result of your actions? Don't keep me waiting too long, or I don't want to waste any more time like this!"

Dongfang Taibai, standing to the side, looked at his father with some doubt. He dared not speak carelessly now, as every word he uttered had a significant impact.

In addition, since they were now working for Lu Fan, he knew that if he offended Lu Fan again with his few words, he would lose this last chance.

"I want to know what gives you the right to let us take control of the entire Eastern family again? Although I know you have a lot of influence."

But this is definitely not as simple as you think; it's not something just anyone can do!

Dongfang Qingcang was somewhat skeptical of Lu Fan, especially since this intelligence was extremely important, and if problems arose, Lu Fan wouldn't be able to resolve them in his current state.

Moreover, he was taking a huge risk this time and didn't want to end up working for Lu Fan for nothing.

These circumstances raised doubts in his mind, as he was unaware of what would happen next.

He wanted to see if Lu Fan was sincere.

Perhaps Lu Fan also sensed that these two people were extremely important to him, and he didn't want to offend them for the time being.

"To be honest, I control the Dongfang family more than you imagine. What we see now is only on the surface. I still hold a considerable number of shares, and I even have people within the entire Dongfang family."

As for the people inside, they were Dongfang Shuo and his father, but it was inconvenient to say it out loud.

He didn't lie to the other party; every word he said was true. It's just that the ending wasn't what he had imagined.

Dongfang Qingcang hesitated, his gaze fixed on Lu Fan, who still seemed skeptical of what he had said.

He couldn't believe that the Dongfang family would produce such a person!
