Not wanting to make things difficult for Lu Fan, he smiled and said:

"Alright, I know you too well. Besides, I don't really like Gu Ying either."

The purpose is too obvious; it's very likely that this habit was formed because they were used to being straightforward abroad.

This is quite out of step with the prevailing social norms in China.

Jiang Manyue seemed lost in thought:

"Was it really just because of a woman that Wang Ye dared to target you like this?"

Lu Fan replied, "It's hard to say."

Li Tian, ​​however, had his own ideas:

"Women and power—it's impossible for him to escape these two eternal topics in a social circle like the Wang family."

Jiang Manyue thought to herself: "It's all because of men's pride." Afterwards...

Lu Fan lost interest in interrogating Hu Shifei.

Li Tian came on his behalf and asked questions such as Wang Ye's purpose, what information he had received, and whether there was any other explanation.

Such as these.

Lu Fan has been so busy that he hasn't had a proper meal yet.

Jiang Manyue first served him a bowl of soup: "Here, calm your nerves first."

Lu Fan was still a little worried about the children and asked the two little ones if they had been frightened.

Jiang Manyue sighed:

"I don't know who these two kids took after, they don't know what fear is at all. I was so worried about them, but they were just busy playing games!"

I still feel a bit resentful about it.

"puff!

Lu Fan found it quite amusing.

Is being bold a good thing? Do you want to be like Hu Shifei?

When Lu Fan said this, he almost got a good beating from Jiang Manyue.

The couple talked while also listening to what Li Tian was saying, and chatted casually as well:

"Wang Ye is really boring. He can't control his own woman and takes his anger out on you. What kind of skill is that?"

Jiang Manyue was quite depressed.

Lu Fan picked at the cold dishes and chuckled:

"The Wang family's situation is probably worse than we thought."

Seeing his wife frown, seemingly puzzled, Lu Fan explained to her:

"Even someone of Wang Ye's status in the Wang family has to rely on marriage alliances to consolidate his position. Isn't that enough to show how perilous the internal environment of the Wang family is now?"

"Furthermore, we know very little about the Gu family, but we know much more about the Wang family." "Old Master Gu considers Old Master Huang his mortal enemy, a fight to the death. Would a family with such power really be interested in Wang Ye or the Wang family?"

Lu Fan hadn't forgotten how Old Master Gu had wiped out the assassin organization that was chasing him with just a wave of his hand.

Would such power and influence need to be maintained through a marriage alliance with his granddaughter?

Once you understand this point, you can probably guess that Gu Ying will be the one in charge of this marriage.

Jiang Manyue swallowed this information with difficulty and said in surprise, "Why do you sound as if Wang Ye is... as if she is Gu Ying's lover?"

Seeing that she couldn't bring herself to say it, Lu Fan added for her, "Yes, that's right, a dog!"

Still a rather opinionated, mischievous dog who always wants to take charge. Jiang Manyue's divergent thinking:

"Then tell me, was this done by Wang Ye, or was it done intentionally by Gu Ying?"

Lu Fan was about to laugh and say that Wang Ye had acted on his own initiative, but then Gu Ying's face suddenly flashed into his mind.

And those exceptionally shrewd eyes on his face.

Before he could say anything, Li Tian had already finished dealing with Hu Shifei and came over:

"After asking him, that's about all he knows."

There was no more usable information to be extracted.

Lu Fan finished his meal, wiped his mouth with a napkin, and asked Li Tian, ​​"What do you think of Hu Shifei?"

Li Tian was stunned.

He expected Lu Fan to ask something else, such as whether there were any suspicious people in the Lu family.

Hu Shifei asked whether Wang Shi was a threat, what the relationship was between the Gu family and the Wang family, and how they had fallen out with Old Huang.

To everyone's surprise, Lu Fan didn't ask any of the questions, but only asked Hu Shifei.

Is he some important person?

Li Tian didn't understand, but he still analyzed it as follows:

"They are greedy for life and afraid of death, and they love money and lust."

Anyway, it's not a good thing.

His comments made Lu Fan smile:

"Alright, it's not like I'm asking you to go on a blind date with him."

Jiang Manyue didn't understand either: "Why are you asking him? Hu Shifei can't stay at home any longer."

Lu Fan, however, had some other plans. He pondered for a moment and said:

"The Gu family's affairs can't be investigated in a short time, so I'm thinking of using Wang Ye as an opportunity."

"The Huanmei Group's project has not made any progress yet, so why not use Hu Shifei as bait to lure the snake out of its hole?"

Jiang Manyue wasn't optimistic about the plan and gestured towards Hu Shifei with her lip:

"He's so scared, are you sure he'll listen to you?"

"Even if they were willing to listen, could they keep it from Wang Ye and Gu Ying?"

Wang Ye has been diagnosed with "intellectual disability" by both Lu Fan and Li Tian.

Gu Ying...

Lu Fan found it amusing:

"If you can hide it, you'll benefit; if you can't, you won't lose anything."

Then he stood up and went to Hu Shifei, nearly scaring the latter half to death:

"I've really confessed everything, Mr. Lu, please let me go. I know I was wrong."

Lu Fan flashed a bright smile at him, revealing a set of white teeth.

"Let you go? Of course I'll let you go, but you deserve some emotional compensation for the fright you caused my family, right?"
