Gong Che leaned over and picked up a book from the table, flipped through a few pages listlessly, and casually tossed it aside.

"Relatives? I'm ashamed to have a relative like him!"

The word "shame" caused Huo Xiao's face to change drastically, but before he could vent his anger, it subsided instantly.

He sighed, "His taste in women has always been terrible; it seems the second young lady of the Lu family is completely under his control..."

Huo Xiao shook his head in concern.

"Without Lu Yi's guidance, Jing Xi would have been the one being manipulated. I could tell!"

A few years ago, he had a very close relationship with the Su family, but he didn't want to delve into how they had betrayed him.

He also didn't have the time or energy to indulge in it.

Gong Che snapped his fingers. "I'm relieved to hear that. The Lu family, the Shen family, the Su family... and if there are any other families involved, I won't leave out a single penny!"

"Those idiots in the Lu family, they abandoned a treasure-like heir and instead pinned their hopes on that adopted son who's full of trash genes... Haha, heaven is on my side!"

When he discovered that the Lu family had a stake in the matter, he sent people to monitor their every move.

Seeing Lu Yi completely break with the Lu family, his heart was enveloped by a strong yet exhilarating emotion, a feeling he couldn't quite describe.

He originally wanted to bring Lu Yi to his side as soon as possible, but he was temporarily sent away from Fengcheng for a period of time by official assignment.

When he returned and heard the report, Fan Shenglun had already publicly revealed that Lu Yi was his godson.

Gong Che's car was parked on the road outside the cemetery at the time. Upon hearing the news, he immediately pulled back the foot he had stepped out of the car!

Lu Yi's subsequent actions surprised him.

Especially after learning that he had braved Fuyun Mountain with injuries for the sake of a girl of unknown origin, Gong Che decided to meet him.

In fact, he doesn't value the drone project. Even if he did, he would never cooperate with a private company in this way.

What he wanted was to bind Lu Yi to his side, so that the Lu family would never receive any assistance.

Lu Baofei's agreement to be acquired by the Huo Group caught him completely off guard.

That proud and strong woman, who had never bowed her head to anyone despite facing difficulties in both technology and funding, why would she willingly submit to the Huo family?

This is the only question on his mind right now!

Huo Xiao saw the excited light flashing in his eyes, and a trace of unease appeared on his face.

"The Huo family doesn't need revenge. Being able to rise again is the best revenge and blow to those people. Che'er, I don't want you to live in hatred for the rest of your life!"

"If you've fought tooth and nail to get to where you are today to seek justice for the Huo family, I advise you to..."

Gong Che glared at him coldly, his sharp gaze making Huo Xiao's voice hoarse, unable to continue speaking.

"It's too late. I'm going to drag those people out one by one, make them kneel before me, and repent word by word!"

He lowered his long legs, his hands clenched so tightly that his knuckles cracked.

I turned my head to look out the window at the dripping eaves!

Winter is leaving, and the footsteps of spring are just around the corner... What Gong Che wants to do will not be over until it has a result!

"Did you get rid of Daniel, that kid from the Fan family?"

Huo Xiao's hands, which seemed to have been assimilated by the bark of an old tree, gripped the armrests of the wheelchair tightly, his eyes fixed on Gong Che's face.

They seem to want to find out the answer.

Gong Che was caught off guard by the question, but his expression quickly returned to normal.

He straightened up and clasped his hands together in front of him.

"It wasn't me. I have no grudge against the Fan family. Why would I harm their son?"

"Besides, if all I knew were fighting and killing, I wouldn't have chosen this path!"

"My position does not allow me to do such reckless things!"

He had a smile on his lips and a nonchalant expression on his face.

It goes without saying who those people are who act recklessly.

Huo Xiao awkwardly looked away, rubbed his hands together, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "It's good that it wasn't you. Fan Shenglun has no hostility towards the Huo family!"

"Back then, the Huo family was framed, and the Fan family was also preoccupied with their own problems. You'd better not harm innocent people!"

Huo Xiao's special inquiry into Daniel's cause of death was not because he valued the Fan family so much.

It's simply because he likes Lu Yi so much.

Lu Yi is estranged from the Lu family. Once the evidence is presented, he will absolutely not turn against the Huo family for the sake of such a Lu family.

But the Fan family held a different significance for Lu Yi.

At that time, Lu Yi was kicked out of his home and had nowhere to go. It was Fan Huijun who protected him as if he were her own younger brother!

If the Huo family and the Fan family had a falling out, Huo Xiao didn't need to think too much to know what Lu Yi would do!

Although Huo Jingxi has gained some skills, he is not on the same level as Lu Yi in terms of business operations.

If Gong Che really wanted revenge, Huo Xiao couldn't stop him. He just wanted to remind him not to go crazy and not distinguish between friend and foe.

Noticing Huo Xiao's cautious gaze, Gong Che felt a mix of emotions, but his expression relaxed.

“I know more about Lu Yi than you do, but there’s one thing I don’t understand…”

Huo Xiao was very pleased to hear him ask for his opinion.

"You can ask me anything you want, as long as I know the answer!"

At this moment, the father and son finally stopped being businesslike, and the housekeeper seized the opportunity to knock on the door and bring in tea.

There were also quite a few fruit platters and nuts on display.

Mangoes were Gong Che's favorite fruit when he was in the Huo family, and Butler Hua naturally placed them in front of him.

After closing the door, the father and son talked for a long time.

Huo Jingxi didn't care when Gong Che left, but when he came to the study and saw the nearly destroyed bodies, he couldn't help but frown.

...

Jiangzhou hasn't had a grand banquet in a long time.

Ordinary people brave wind and rain every day, occasionally reading about gossip about the wealthy to lighten their mood.

As soon as the Lu family, who had been quiet for a long time, saw that something big had happened, discussions on the internet quickly increased.

"This is going to be a good show!"

"I heard that Lu Yi will also be going to celebrate Madam Lu's birthday. How rare!"

"Oh dear, you're all too young to understand. People get sentimental as they get older. Besides, Lu Yi is the real young master. I'm afraid Madam Lu's purpose in holding this banquet is to get Lu Yi to go back!"

"Have you heard? Lu Baoqi has left Huo's Media, and her agent has disappeared..."

"Don't talk nonsense, Bao'er's contract just expired!"

"No matter what, I just want to see Lu Yi... I hope Gu Keke doesn't show up. She stole my husband, I hate her!"

At this very moment, Lu Yi, Gu Keke, Fan Huijun, and Gu Huainan were on an international flight.

Upon hearing the news, Liang Shiyue, with a face mask on, picked up clothes and tried them on in front of the mirror.

This scene reminded her of her first date with Lu Yi...

Unfortunately, that's all in the past!

Lu Han's expression turned serious after listening to the phone call from home.

"Now that Lu Yi is here, I absolutely cannot let him leave alive..."

He dialed Master Hong's number and said with a smile, "Master Hong, the opportunity has come. As long as we get rid of him, we can go back to Jiangzhou together. What do you say?"
