As the long-lost son of the Lu family in Jiangzhou, Lu Yi originally thought this was heaven's favor upon him, but the truth was far from it.
Seventeen years of destitution did not earn h...
Du Guanglong clenched his fists, his knuckles cracking.
With a dark expression, he roughly described what had happened to Lu Yi.
It turns out that Gao Wei's parents worked as kitchen helpers when the Huo family was at its peak.
Later, the Huo family suffered a misfortune, and Huo Xiao used some of his money to dismiss most of the people.
At the time, Gao Wei was an apprentice in a car repair shop. Although his family was not wealthy, they were at least well-off.
He got married soon after.
Everything changed drastically after the marriage. Both of her parents fell ill, and her wife was initially willing to take care of them.
Seeing that the two holes in the Gao family's finances were like bottomless pits with no hope of turning things around, Gao Wei took advantage of his absence to secretly take the family's valuables with him and flee, abandoning his parents.
Du Guanglong said that when he saw Gao Wei, his cheeks were sunken and he was so thin that he could barely walk steadily.
Huo Jingxi, upon seeing that it was the child of an old friend, never thought of investigating him.
They immediately arranged accommodation for him, gave him some money to recuperate, and only after he had fully recovered were they assigned him a job in the warehouse.
"To be honest, it's partly my fault!"
“Many people tried to contact the Huo family by using the connections of those elders, and I investigated most of them. But at that time, Gao Wei was half-dead, who could have imagined…”
"He was actually a spy planted in the Huo family by someone else, deliberately betraying the Huo family at a crucial moment!"
"If he were alive, at least we could have gotten something out of him, but he just jumped into the sea and left nothing behind. Who knows what he was thinking!"
Du Guanglong slammed his fist on the back of the chair, filled with regret.
"How can we be sure he was bribed first?"
As more and more mysteries arose, Lu Yi forced himself to remain rational.
Until evidence is available, all speculations may not be true.
He cannot let someone's unintentional speculation affect his judgment.
“I had someone check, and his parents’ medical expenses were not a small amount, but they were settled suddenly.”
“Gao Wei’s wife emptied his house completely. At their poorest, they couldn’t even afford food. How could he have such a large sum of money!”
"Hmph, his death doesn't matter, but he's ruined the Huo family!"
Du Guanglong gritted his teeth in hatred at this.
Everyone in the warehouse knows that Gao Wei is a member of the Huo family.
On the day of loading, port staff were supposed to handle the work, but for some reason, one of the operators had an upset stomach and went to the restroom midway through.
Gao Wei took the opportunity to sneak into the hoisting intelligent control room.
As he passed by the surveillance camera, he even looked up for a few seconds.
Looking back now, it must have been that he deliberately exposed his facial features to mislead others into thinking that the Huo family had instructed him to do so.
After saying this, Du Guanglong kept his mouth tightly shut and stared intently at Lu Yi's face.
"It's not that simple!"
Lu Yi crossed his arms and spoke in a calm voice.
"Have you looked for Gao Wei's wife? Is it possible that she's working away from home and secretly helping Gao Wei?"
Du Guanglong scoffed, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.
"Third brother, I'm not trying to be mean, but is this all you know about women?"
"Gao Wei casually mentioned that his wife only married him because his parents had money. Now that the money is gone, she has no reason to stay in the Gao family!"
Lu Yi sighed, "It might not be that simple. Let the brothers work hard to find her. Even if it's not her, we won't lose anything."
Du Guanglong is now at a loss.
Upon hearing Lu Yi's words, he immediately picked up the phone and gave the instructions.
During the silence between the two, Lu Yi suddenly remembered something and asked urgently, "How is President Huo? Has he returned to Fengcheng?"
Du Guanglong shook his head, "I was supposed to go back this morning..."
Lu Yi understood instantly.
Originally, they were going to wait for Huo Jingxi to return to Fengcheng together, but now that he's been detained, Huo Xiaoken will choose to stay in Jiangzhou and wait.
Lu Yi pondered for a moment, then his brow relaxed.
"The Huo family cannot be without a leader. I think it would be more appropriate for President Huo to return to Fengcheng."
"Brother, soon the news of Huo Jingxi being taken into custody will spread. If President Huo continues to stay in Jiangzhou, it will not benefit the Huo family in the slightest."
“Those shareholders are the best at reading the wind. Once they sense danger, all of Huo’s businesses will be thrown into turmoil.”
"President Huo must go back and take charge until Second Brother is released openly and legitimately!"
Lu Yi didn't want to sound too pessimistic.
But before the Huo family is completely removed from the "poison" drugs, Huo Xiao is safest only in Fengcheng.
Du Guanglong's listless face instantly brightened.
"Okay, I'll convince him. What about you? Do you want to come back to Fengcheng together? It's okay to be a few days late for school registration!"
He never considered the Fan family to be Lu Yi's safe haven.
Moreover, Lu Yi is being criticized relentlessly outside, so his situation would inevitably be somewhat awkward if he returned to the Fan family.
Huo Jingxi had long ago instructed that if Lu Yi were to fall into the vortex of public opinion again, no matter the cost, Lu Yi should be brought to the Huo family.
Seeing him anxiously awaiting his reply, Lu Yi shrugged and smiled.
"Of course I'm going back to the Fan family. You know my brother-in-law is in trouble, and my sister could give birth at any moment. I can't just think about myself!"
Du Guanglong knew he couldn't persuade this stubborn boy.
Turning my head, I fastened my seatbelt and drove towards the Fan family's house!
...
The test results were all normal. Fan Huijun stroked her pregnant belly with relief and nestled tightly in Gu Huaibei's arms.
"Honey, why don't I give birth at home? That way, the family will feel more at ease. We have plenty of doctors and equipment at home!"
Thinking back to that moment, she felt a little scared.
I just wish my family could be by my side.
Her family had prepared a delivery room for her well in advance, complete with all the necessary surgical equipment.
Gu Huaibei was worried that Fan Huijun would act tough and stubbornly endure whatever happened, bearing all the hardships and grievances alone.
Hearing her suggest it again, Gu Huaibei affectionately patted her head, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Wherever you can suffer less, that's fine..."
Before he could finish speaking, his phone rang.
"Hurry up and answer it, I'll wait for you in the car!"
Fan Huijun took the coat in her hands and gave him a light kiss on the cheek.
Gu Huaibei waited until she had walked a distance before answering the phone, "I told you I had personal matters to attend to today, have you forgotten?"
After hearing what was said on the other end, Gu Huaibei's pupils dilated in shock. "What!"
"What are you all doing? How could such an important project be ruined like this..."
"Call everyone to a meeting. Meet in the conference room in half an hour!"
After hanging up the phone, he took a deep breath and leaned against the pillar next to him to try to calm himself down.
This was the first project my dad asked me to lead, and I thought everything would go smoothly. Who would have thought it would cause such a big commotion so quickly?
"No, even the most unfavorable situation must be turned into something useful... How can I reverse this?"
He stroked his phone with his fingertips, and suddenly thought of someone.
With a slight furrow in his brow and a relaxed expression, he chased after Fan Huijun in the direction she had gone.
