Old Huang wanted to push Lu Fan to step forward and kill the Wang family to establish his authority.

Whether it's shifting the business focus towards Nanshan City or gradually tightening up the previously laid plans,

This was exactly what Lu Fan wanted.

But he didn't agree immediately; instead, he looked a little embarrassed: "This..."

Old Huang naturally noticed Lu Fan's hesitation: "What's wrong? Is the investment too small, or is the location too remote?"

He smiled, but his eyes revealed a fierce glint.

Clearly, Huang Lao's long-term seclusion behind the scenes, despite his position as a superior, had not completely diminished his vigilance.

Suspicion of Lu Fan resurfaced.

Lu Fan was not afraid, but said with difficulty:

"The housekeeper taking the child away today really frightened Manyue. I'm alright though. A good man's ambition lies in all directions, and making achievements is the most important thing."

"But Manyue is different. She's a mother, and she'll definitely worry about what might happen to the baby. If I'm not there then, she'll probably..."

A polite refusal to go to Nanshan.

Old Huang felt a surge of anger.

When he was being targeted by the assassin organization while traveling, he naturally suspected Lu Fan.

The butler also harbored some suspicion towards Lu Fan.

Old Master Huang was so frightened that he fainted. The steward was worried that Lu Fan was going to rebel, so he thought of holding the child in his hands first.

Unexpectedly, this miscalculation gave Lu Fan an excuse not to confront the Wang family head-on.

Thinking this to himself, Old Huang still chuckled and tried to defend the steward, saying, "My children are all good-for-nothings. Seeing how bright and intelligent your two children are makes me feel a little better. Don't take it to heart by the steward's words."

There was no mention of how the steward would be punished for acting on his own initiative. Lu Fan already knew that with Old Master Huang, even a steward was more powerful than...

His role as a frontline pawn is far more important.

After repeatedly declining, Old Huang finally made up his mind: "Since you two young couples are so loving and devoted to each other, I will not have played the villain in vain. You can both go to Nanshan."

The Wang family used assassins to retaliate, overshadowing Lu Fan's overwhelming achievements. Old Master Huang no longer sees Lu Fan as a thorn in his side, but now he has no choice but to rely on him.

Since he was to be given an important position, it was even more important not to let Lu Fan harbor any resentment or misunderstanding. Hearing the laughter of the two children drawing closer, Old Huang smiled kindly.

"Bring the kids along too. A young couple can grow old together. I'm not as lucky as you!"

Lu Fan was just working for Old Huang and didn't know much about his family background.

He hadn't even met the "good-for-nothing" descendants that Old Huang had mentioned. The closest person he'd ever seen around Old Huang was just the butler. From beginning to end, this old man had never considered him one of his own!

Lu Fan had long intended to start his own business, so he wasn't too discouraged and hoped that his contact with Elder Huang would be as simple as possible.

Hearing that Old Huang had finally relented and allowed his family to travel to Nanshan City, Lu Fan hesitated on the surface, but finally agreed:

"Since you value me so much, I can't just back out like that. You can leave the Wang family to me. I will definitely give you a satisfactory explanation."

Old Huang nodded, smiling, but his tone was cold: "Don't disappoint me, tear the Wang family to shreds!"

After discussing business arrangements, Lu Fan finally picked up his son, took his daughter's hand, and left Old Huang's villa area safely.

The Lu family breathed a sigh of relief.

At Old Master Huang's place, the steward, seizing the opportunity, inquired, "Master, are you really so at ease with Lu Fan? Letting him go to Nanshan, what about the Nangong family's plan..."

What they were talking about was selecting suitable candidates from the Nangong family to train as successors.

Old Huang snorted coldly: "The Nangong family isn't entirely on our side. Over the years, the younger generation has grown up, and there aren't many who are obedient anymore."

Thinking about the recent chaos in the Nangong family, the steward comforted them, saying, "Most people still remember the kindness you showed them back then."

"Hmph, they better be!"

After thinking for a moment, Old Master Huang instructed the steward, "We still need to train a successor. Lu Fan can't be moved now, but there will be a day when he can!"

However, his plan was to have both Lu Fan and the Wang family suffer heavy losses, while he would reap the benefits.

The butler understood: "I will tell the Nangong family to behave themselves lately."

The Lu family.

When Jiang Manyue saw that the two children had returned safely, she cried bitterly. She didn't want to leave the children for even a moment all night until late at night when the children were all asleep before she returned to her room.

After finishing his work at the company, Lu Fan saw how tired she looked and couldn't bear it: "Don't let the child be fine, but you're the one who's sick."

Jiang Manyue nestled in his arms and asked softly, "Before you went to see Elder Huang, did you still agree to the plan to shift the focus to Nanshan City?"

"how?"

Lu Fan looked at his wife in his arms with curiosity.

Jiang Manyue swallowed her sobs, raised her eyes firmly, and said, "My children and I will go with you, okay?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Fan burst out laughing.

He pinched his wife's nose: "Of course, we're a family, how can we abandon our family and business!"

But the fact that one of Huang Lao's housekeepers could abduct two children today still became a thorn in Jiang Manyue's side, and made her think deeply.
