In order to wrest the construction group back from Sun Dehu, General Manager Li went to even greater lengths to be attentive.

That's why I immediately pressed the call button when I saw that familiar number.

President Li inquired solicitously what Lu Fan needed to discuss with him at this time. Lu Fan then mentioned Gu Ying to him:

"I'm very interested in the fiancée of this eldest grandson of the Wang family. Since there's so much gossip going around, I don't think the Wang family wouldn't know the details about this Gu family girl, right?"

In short, he wanted her information.

Mr. Li looked puzzled, but what was his current status? To atone for his crimes!

Without hesitation, Mr. Li agreed: "Yes, Mr. Lu, I will investigate thoroughly."

By this time, A Yong had finished handling the security of the entire mansion and confirmed that neither Zhao Kang nor Hu Shifei had the guts or the ability to plant any surveillance equipment in the villa under the supervision of A Yong and his team.

After the inspection was completed, A Yong reported to Lu Fan.

Lu Fan didn't immediately let him leave at 730. He waved and asked:

"I'm asking you, do you have any listening devices or similar gadgets on hand?"

A-Yong was taken aback, and immediately proved his innocence:

“President Lu, we were just following Brother Li’s orders. How could we possibly install these things in your house without your and Brother Li’s permission?”

My brain really isn't working very well.

Lu Fan didn't blame A Yong, but explained to him carefully: "It's not that I suspect you, but I need these little gadgets. Do you have any safe channels to get them?"

Upon hearing this, A Yong felt relieved, dialed a number, and after a few words, nodded to Lu Fan:

"Found it, will deliver it to your door later."

Although his brain wasn't the sharpest, he was still quite efficient at his work, Lu Fan nodded in satisfaction.

Jiang Manyue walked over at this moment, saw the puddle of water on the ground, and couldn't help but wrinkle her nose in disgust.

Lu Fan knew that Jiang Manyue wouldn't be able to finish her dinner, so he asked A Yong to arrange for someone to clean up while he and his wife drove out to eat.

On the way, Jiang Manyue finally relaxed her guard, breathed a sigh of relief, and inquired about Lu Fan's arrangements for Zhao Kang and Hu Shifei:

"That Gu Ying is really bold and cunning. Even Wang Ye from the Wang family listens to her."

He shook his head as he spoke, clearly disapproving of Gu Ying's behavior. After explaining the arrangements for Zhao Kang and Hu Shifei, Lu Fan said, "Zhao Kang is of little use, and Hu Shifei is not very capable either, but he can still be used for a while."

“I just informed Mr. Li; we still have to start with him.”

Jiang Manyue still seemed a little worried, so she couldn't help but ask a few more questions: "So, what stage are you at in your cooperation with the Gu family?" Lu Fan chuckled:

"Since none of us are sincere, why force ourselves to be together? Let's talk about it later."

Jiang Manyue was worried that the Gu family wouldn't be so easy to get rid of, otherwise Old Master Huang wouldn't have been so secretive about the Gu family.

Seemingly noticing her worry, Lu Fan took a moment while driving to pat her head.

"It's alright, when have I ever messed up a task?"

"Or are you worried that Gu Ying, that little brat, will steal me away?"

It was rare to see Lu Fan make fun of himself like this.

Jiang Manyue took a deep breath and leaned against Lu Fan.

"Who wouldn't worry? She's beautiful and has a good family background."

A sweet fragrance wafted towards him, entering Lu Fan's nose. He smiled and said:

"Hey, just talk to me, why are you harassing me?"

Jiang Manyue finally managed to be romantic, but who knew this guy was actually allergic to romance.

Enraged, she pinched his arm hard, and said with a hint of embarrassment and indignation, "Lu! Fan!"

Her eyes were full of coquettishness, yet there was an indescribable shyness about her.

The road to the restaurant wasn't far, and Lu Fan arrived quickly in his car.

Lu Fan let Jiang Manyue order first, and then ordered a few desserts for the two children on her behalf.

The person Ah Yong had contacted arrived shortly afterward, handed a small box to Lu Fan, and left.

Before long, before Jiang Manyue's dessert was even served, President Li arrived.

Mr. Li has been staying at the Wang family's residence for quite some time and is known for his vigilance. Even after making contact with Lu Fan, his furtive glances around clearly indicated his heightened alertness.

"Mr. Lu, why did you call me here so late? It's because..."

The fact that President Li dared to attend the meeting alone shows that he has already made up his mind to continue working with Lu Fan.

Now that he's here, he naturally hopes the task Lu Fan gives him will be challenging. Otherwise, how can he take back the Construction Group without gaining enough favor with Lu Fan?

Lu Fan handed the small box to President Li and gestured with his lips:

"Find an opportunity to get close to Wang Ye, or put something on Gu Ying's phone."

This is clearly a very difficult task.

Putting everything else aside, the sheer brutality of the Wang family alone was enough to make Mr. Li scream in despair, fearing that if he did it, he wouldn't even get a complete corpse.

And that Gu Ying, judging from Lu Fan's words, she's not someone to be trifled with either.

Mr. Li swallowed nervously, then looked up at Lu Fan, only to find the latter scrutinizing him with a critical gaze.
