Chapter 440 I heard that Lu Xinyi sold off her overseas assets

Were the people or forces that attacked my father hidden among these individuals?

Was this a test by them?

Was the Zhao family involved, or were they used as a pawn to test the waters?

Old Master Li must know something, but he has been avoiding the topic. Even though he had just been discharged from the hospital and was in poor health, he still attended this gathering. What was the reason for that?

Is it really because he doesn't want to miss the opportunity to get together with everyone?

But this isn't the only time; there won't be any more.

Everything before my eyes seemed shrouded in mist.

The low-hanging clouds created a great sense of pressure.

Shi Nian couldn't see who was hiding behind it.

She reached out and grasped the blue diamond necklace around her neck.

Father.

You're watching too, aren't you?

...

Time passed slowly.

Three days.

Three days later, Xu Cheng suddenly returned to China urgently.

Yu Yan is in trouble.

I was inexplicably stuck in various ways.

Many things that were originally permitted suddenly became non-compliant.

Failure to handle the situation properly could result in business closure or even more severe penalties.

Shi Nian was waiting for Xu Cheng in the airport parking lot.

On my phone, messages kept refreshing.

Fu Jinyan: Damn it, who's messing with my project?! If I find out, I'll give them a good beating with the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!

Gu Qian: Xu Cheng is on the plane right now. Things are very chaotic at Yuyan. I can barely hold on, but some employees have already received the news and are contacting the outside world to look for their next job.

Huo Yanmo: Gu Qian, I will send someone over to keep Yu Yan's people calm. You and Jun Hui will discuss this later.

Gu Qian: Okay, I'm really not good at these things.

Huo Yanmo: Niannian, Jin Yan and I are now taking people to deal with other matters at Yu Yan. After you pick up Xu Cheng, come back to Yu Yan immediately.

Upon seeing the message, Shi Nian immediately tapped the screen to reply.

Shi Nian: Okay, I'm at the airport now.

After Shi Nian replied, another dialog box appeared.

There was a message from Lin Zhihuan.

“Niannian, I just found out that Lu Yanzhi went on a business trip the day before yesterday due to an emergency and is not in City A now. The Lu family's affairs are temporarily being managed by Old Master Lu.”

Old Master Lu...

He pondered for a moment.

According to what Xu Qinxin said before, Grandpa Lu was sick and didn't attend that gathering.

It's only been a few days, and the old man's illness won't heal that quickly. Even if he recovers, he'll need to rest for a few more days.

So, who is in charge of the Lu family now?

The parking lot was quiet, with only the occasional stop and start of cars.

After a while.

"Knock knock!"

Someone knocked on the car window.

Shi Nian looked up and saw Xu Cheng, who looked anxious.

Shi Nian immediately opened the trunk and let Xu Cheng put the luggage in.

After a while, Xu Cheng opened the back door and got in.

"Go to Yuyan," Shi Nian said to her driver/bodyguard.

The driver immediately started the car.

As soon as the barrier was lowered, Xu Cheng launched into a barrage of questions.

Shi Nian patted Xu Cheng on the shoulder and said, "Jin Yan and Yan Mo have already gone to see what's going on up there. You can rest assured about what they're doing."

"Junhui, go over to Yuyan's side and help Gu Qian stabilize the situation. Don't rush."

Xu Cheng breathed a slight sigh of relief, but he was still anxious.

The car drove smoothly along the road when Xu Cheng's phone suddenly rang.

He irritably pulled out his phone and looked at it, then his expression turned somewhat strange.

"What's wrong?" Shi Nian asked.

“It’s Lu Xinyi,” Xu Cheng said, puzzled.

Shi Nian nodded, signaling Xu Cheng to connect.

Xu Cheng touched the answer button and then pressed the speakerphone button.

"Is there something you need?" Xu Cheng asked.

"I am Lu Xinyi, and I would like to meet with you to discuss matters concerning Yuyan Shares."

Xu Cheng was annoyed by the thought, and said, "Ms. Lu, I'm very busy right now, I'm sorry I can't meet with you."

"You're busy with Yu Yan's affairs, aren't you?" Lu Xinyi's voice came with a hint of teasing. "Let's meet. I also want to talk to you about Yu Yan's affairs."

Xu Cheng suddenly looked at Shi Nian.

Shi Nian was looking at Xu Cheng's phone screen.

Noticing Xu Cheng's gaze, Shi Nian nodded, took out her phone, and typed a message: "See you at Yu Yan."

Xu Cheng nodded and immediately said, "I just got off the plane and am on my way to the company. If Miss Lu wants to meet and talk, please wait for me at Yuyan."

"Okay," came Lu Xinyi's satisfied voice.

Then came the dial tone of the call being disconnected.

As the car entered the tunnel, the lights on both sides cast a dim yellow glow.

Shi Nian looked at Xu Cheng.

"Shi Nian, you said..."

"Xu Cheng, this time, perhaps I've caused you trouble," Shi Nian said apologetically.

Xu Cheng was a smart man, and he understood immediately.

He glanced at Lu Xinyi's name on his phone and gave a cold smile.

"I never imagined that the famous Miss Lu would be so narrow-minded and unscrupulous!"

Xu Cheng put his phone away and said, "Then let her come. I don't believe she can control everything!"

The car sped along and soon emerged from the tunnel.

The view ahead was bright.

Shi Nian looked out the car window.

Lu Xinyi, Miss Lu?

Did she do it herself, or was it due to Lu Yanzhi's indulgence?

Shi Nian recalled her last meeting with Lu Yanzhi at the cemetery.

Lu Yanzhi's unwilling voice still lingered in my ears.

Did he convey the advice she asked him to give to Lu Xinyi?

Was he involved in this?

Shi Nian didn't know.

She gripped her phone tightly.

The car arrived at the foot of Yuyan Building.

Shi Nian told Xu Cheng to go and tidy up first, while she would wait here.

Xu Cheng had just gotten off the plane and did need to tidy up, so he didn't stand on ceremony and went upstairs first.

Shi Nian was waiting here.

She sat quietly in the back seat of the car, in a place that was always accessible from the parking lot, and calmly looked ahead.

Not long after, she saw Lu Xinyi's car drive up.

The car window was open, and Lu Xinyi sat in the driver's seat, her face beaming with happiness. She was currently connected to a Bluetooth headset and talking to someone, I don't know.

Inside Lu Xinyi's car, the person she was talking to on the phone was Guo Kai.

She parked the car safely.

"Don't worry, I will definitely succeed in negotiating it. I promised you." Lu Xinyi smiled, but her voice was calm.

She acted quickly, and the news of Yu Yan's incident had not yet spread.

Even now, Guo Kai still believes that she came to talk to Xu Cheng because she didn't want to pay double the price.

Lu Xinyi didn't want to reveal anything more, so she immediately hung up the phone.

The car came to a stop.

Lu Xinyi felt that things were going too smoothly, and even God was on her side.

She closed the car door and walked towards Yu Yan, humming a song all the way.

On the other end of the phone, Guo Kai looked at the messages on his phone after hanging up, his face full of confusion.

I heard that Lu Xinyi sold off many of her overseas assets; I wonder what happened.
