Upon hearing this, Lu Fan remained unsettled for a long time, looking at the other person before closing the document in his hand.

At this moment, he was more shocked than anyone else, and his gaze towards the other party changed. Those who obey me will prosper, and those who oppose me will perish.

He never expected that this person would pull this trick on him. If we only consider the present situation, he really couldn't fight against her, and the current situation was indeed under their control. However, even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake.

He possesses considerable strength, and it's entirely possible for him to confront the other party head-on.

Moreover, the appearance of the other party will also lead to the collapse of the entire situation in his hands, and the entire economic system will immediately collapse.

Each of these steps is probably not the situation most people want to see, and even right now, he and the other party are in a state of hesitation.

"Grandpa Gu, I acknowledge your strength and believe you can take down the opponent. However, the current situation is extremely complicated. Your rash action may disrupt the situation, and if you are not careful, the whole thing will change drastically."

Furthermore, this entire area is currently under my control. I understand your desire to enter, but it doesn't seem so easy to do so in the short term.

Seeing this situation, Lu Fan only planned to use delaying tactics to stall the other party while asking others. At the same time, he looked at Old Master Gu, also wanting to know if he had found someone else to cooperate with.

Given the scale of the deal, he believed that most people, not just in the entire Jinhai region, would cooperate with him if he mentioned it.

Furthermore, given how ruthless they were in doing things, no one could withstand such a situation.

Having someone like that behind you, nobody knows whether it's a good thing or a bad thing.

"Mr. Gu, we value integrity here. I'd also like to know if you have any plans to find other people for this cooperation?"

After all, we're not the only powerful force in this area; we're just pawns in someone else's game.

Lu Fan spoke very tactfully, and besides, wasn't he in this very position now, completely subordinate to Old Master Huang?

Old Master Huang had absolute authority over him and could eliminate him with just a few words.

Even if you had a falling out with the other person before, you still have to apologize in the end.

Even someone as insignificant as Sun Yue couldn't have realized that such a rapid promotion couldn't have been solely based on his own intelligence.

Personal ability and a strong background are equally important.

These two things touched everyone's hearts, and also made Lu Fan realize that if he agreed to what Old Huang had in front of him, Old Huang would never forgive him.

Compared to what Lu Fan said, it seemed that Old Master Gu already knew all along, and he just smiled slightly when he looked at Lu Fan.

As he sat there, the two people beside him constantly looked around warily. Lu Fan felt as if he were seeing the same look in Li Tian's eyes when they first met.

Given these circumstances and behaviors, both individuals are likely highly trained individuals.

After the security guards confronted them, Lu Fan realized that to kill the other party, to fight someone like that, even ten or eight ordinary people wouldn't be a match for him.

Moreover, if this continues, his body will quickly collapse, and at that point, he will have no one to fight against the enemy and protect him, which will become a pipe dream.

"Since you don't think so, Mr. Li, we will tell you our thoughts. We know some things about you, but the people behind it are still under investigation."

It seems they do have some strength, which is why we came to you. Cooperating with someone like that is less desirable than completely eliminating them.

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan felt a chill run down his spine, and his gaze kept darting away from the other person.

He had considered investigating Elder Huang before, but due to the man's background and overall strength, his investigations were always thwarted by either people getting into trouble or being blocked by specific individuals.

There was also Elder Huang among them, who would occasionally send people to give him pointers. He avoided directly confronting the other party at every step, trying to make himself more secretive.

Furthermore, these four major families were also orchestrated by the other party, and they were all wiped out in an instant. How could an ordinary person possibly stand up to such a feat?

After that, he had no further thoughts, and in Huang Lao's view, fighting against the other party was probably just like two children fighting.

He also realized that this matter was giving the other party an opportunity, an opportunity to directly submit to Huang Lao.

All those head-on confrontations and circumstances back then seemed like a performance for him. Knowing this, how could he possibly take the initiative to confront the other party?

"Do you know what you're saying? Since you can't even figure out who's behind this, are you really going to eat it up?"

What if he gets too big to move? I don't have that much stuff to take you out with, and I've never even met your family yet!

Lu Fan's tone was somewhat excited. He looked at the other person and almost roared as he spoke. Perhaps he had never had such thoughts before. Each of these things surprised him immensely.

Jiang Manyue and Grandpa Gu were stunned by Lu Fan's prolonged actions.

Especially Old Master Gu, who looked at Lu Fan carefully for a long time. He had already learned about Lu Fan's personality and the environment in which he worked, and normally it would be impossible for him to be so incompetent as he had just done.

His overall tone, actions, and expression conveyed both fear and a sense of looking at a great deity.

"Mr. Lu, you really don't have this idea? I believe there's nothing that can't be eaten, and that's why our Gu family has been able to grow stronger over time."

If you truly don't share this view, I believe the collaboration will become quite complex, and I will reconsider. As for that company, we'll secure it for now.

After saying this, he glanced at Lu Fan and then turned to leave, after all, he had also felt surprised for a moment.

After watching the other party take the contract away, Lu Fan gradually calmed down under Jiang Manyue's comforting words.

Jiang Manyue was unaware of the whole situation. Looking at Lu Fan, he recalled the scene just now and felt extremely surprised.

"What exactly happened? Who's behind us? Isn't it Old Huang all along?"

Jiang Manyue was a little confused, thinking that the people behind them had changed.

After all, Huang Lao's understanding of him was not this strong before.
