"I'm calling you because I want you to do something for me, something that will also be helpful to you."

The person who called spoke to Zhang He.

"Hmph, this must be a miracle. We've never crossed paths before, and you want me to help you?"

Hearing the person on the other end asking him for a favor, he asked in disbelief.

Aren't you right here at the restaurant entrance?

Hearing that Zhang He didn't believe it at all, the person who called Zhang He asked him with a smile.

"What exactly do you want? I'm warning you, don't provoke me."

He had initially ignored Zhang He, but his expression changed when he heard that the other person knew where he was.

He coldly warned the person on the other end of the phone.

"If you help me with this now, you're also helping yourself."

Hearing that Zhang He on the other end was finally able to have a proper conversation with him, he still smiled and told Zhang He the purpose of his call.

Tell me about it.

Zhang He is now very curious about what the person who called him really wants.

"I know what to do."

After hearing the request on the other end of the phone, Zhang He was startled, but after calming himself down, he agreed to the request.

"Okay, then I'll wait for your good news."

After hanging up the phone, Zhang He looked at the contact name of the person who had called him.

For a moment, Zhang He was unsure whether this was a test, but he dared not gamble if he lost.

Then I would lose everything.

"Go do me a favor."

Zhang He also had his own trump card, taking out another phone from inside his clothes.

He dialed a number he had never dialed before, and after the other end answered, he gave orders to the person on the other end.

After saying that, Zhang He heard the dial tone go dead on the other end of the phone.

Zhang He knew that the person on the other end of the phone would do as he was told, so he skillfully pulled out the SIM card from the phone and melted it with a lighter.

"Brother, Lu Fan has appeared at the restaurant entrance."

After a while, the brother who was in charge of watching the restaurant rushed to Zhang He to report.

"Lu Fan? Let me see..."

Upon hearing his subordinates' report, Zhang He, who had been getting sleepy from waiting, felt relieved.

He jumped up from the chair in an instant, looking completely incredulous.

"It's absolutely true. If you don't believe me, look for yourself. He should still be at the restaurant entrance."

His subordinates naturally dared not say anything about Lu Fan, since Lu Fan was now a director of the company.

If this gets back to Lu Fan's ears, there's no point in continuing.

He read it carefully several times before reporting back to Zhang He.

"Bring the binoculars."

Zhang He recalled that Da Xiong had mentioned that the hospital where Engineer Liu was staying was the same one Lu Fan was staying at.

This alerted Zhang He, who was already somewhat suspicious. Zhang He never expected that Lu Fan would coincidentally appear at the restaurant entrance again.

If all of this has nothing to do with Lu Fan, then it's really too much of a coincidence.

So he quickly went to the window, took out his binoculars, and looked at the entrance of the restaurant across the street.

Through binoculars, Zhang He clearly saw the person standing at the restaurant entrance, and was somewhat surprised.

I don't know why Lu Fan is here.

"Boss, what should we do now?"

His subordinate looked at Zhang He, who was somewhat stunned, and asked.

"Pass this message down: as long as President Lu doesn't cause us any trouble, ignore him. The key is to catch Gu He."

Hearing his subordinates ask him what to do, ever since he saw Lu Fan appear...

Zhang He was at his wit's end, but he didn't know why Lu Fan had appeared here.

There was no need for him to offend this plague god, so he quickly came up with a solution that would satisfy both sides and gave orders to his subordinates.

"We still eat the same few dishes as before."

After hesitating for a while in the restaurant, Lu Fan noticed the area outside the restaurant where he usually ate.

There were a lot of people around for no apparent reason. I looked around carefully, but didn't think much of it.

Since no one dared to attack him, he wasn't afraid at all and strode into the dining room, addressing the waiter.

"Okay, Mr. Lu, please wait a moment."

Upon seeing that it was Lu Fan, the waiter didn't dare to be negligent. He smiled and went downstairs to prepare the dishes Lu Fan had ordered.

Lu Fan ate his food while checking the time on his phone.

As the appointed time for their meeting drew closer, Lu Fan put down his chopsticks.

His eyes were fixed on the nearby road, searching for the person who had come to meet him today.

"Boss, the people inside the restaurant reported that President Lu doesn't seem to be here to eat. He keeps looking at the road to the side, and the people watching him think that Lu Fan might be waiting for the person we are waiting for."

The subordinate quickly reported the situation inside the restaurant to Zhang He.

"As expected, they came with ill intentions."

Zhang He knew that Lu Fan wasn't just there for a meal when he saw Lu Fan enter the restaurant.

However, he had no evidence or reason to suspect Lu Fan.

Zhang He had no choice but to look down through the binoculars at Lu Fan and say helplessly.

"Otherwise, I'll go and kick President Lu out."

Seeing Zhang He's predicament, his subordinate came up with a solution and spoke to him.

"You want to kick people out? I think you're asking for trouble."

Upon hearing his subordinate say that he wanted to get rid of Lu Fan, Zhang He angrily kicked him and said through gritted teeth to his subordinate.

"Why did you kick me? I just wanted to kick him out so that President Lu wouldn't ruin our plans."

The subordinate who had been kicked by Zhang He in anger stood up from the ground.

Completely confused as to why Zhang He kicked her, she said to Zhang He with a wronged expression.

“Brother, I’m teaching you a lesson. If you dare to kick him out of the restaurant today, Lu Fan can make you move to another city tomorrow.”

Seeing that his brother, whom he had kicked, looked aggrieved, Zhang He quickly patted him on the shoulder.

He explained in kind words why he had been so angry.

“Brother He, we are the gangsters, he’s just a businessman. Even if he’s a director of our company, he can’t just kick us out of this city, can he?”

The subordinates didn't believe Zhang He's words at all and asked him a question in return.

"Lu Fan has connections in both the legitimate and underworld circles. Even our chairman gave Lu Fan more than 40% of the shares for free. He doesn't need to invest a single penny to receive dividends from the company every year. Think about it carefully. There's still a lot you need to know."

If Zhang He hadn't been short of capable subordinates...

Otherwise, there would be no need for such a painstaking explanation...
