Lu Yi didn't recognize the people around him, but they seemed to know Lu Yi very well.

I took him outside to an open space and, under the pretext of checking his injuries, slipped a few notes into his hand.

"Part of the process has been completed, and the people involved can now meet with their lawyers."

"Mr. Gong said you must also want to meet the people surnamed Hong and He. Time is limited, so choose one!"

Lu Yi frowned slightly, his thumb fumbling as he flipped open the slips of paper and took out the first one.

"Let's choose him!"

Master Hong is the most tight-lipped.

Very little information was revealed.

It wasn't that he didn't want to vomit, he just didn't see anyone who wanted to vomit.

Lu Yi vaguely felt that Master Hong treated him in a special way, and that meeting him might bring unexpected gains.

"Okay, go over there and register again. I'll wait for you here."

When Lu Yi returned, a car was parked outside the door with its engine off.

As soon as Lu Baofei finished signing her name, she looked up and saw Lu Yi's back.

She jogged after him, wanting to call out to him and ask him a few questions, but was stopped by someone.

"Miss, no unauthorized personnel allowed over there, please come this way..."

A freelancer?

Lu Baofei's breath hitched, becoming heavy, her complex gaze fixed in that direction until she turned the corner.

"Um...did that young man see the person I'm supposed to meet?"

The staff member leading the way shook his head, "I don't know, no comment."

Lu Baofei sat on the cold bench for a long time before a staff member told her that Lu Zhengming didn't want to see anyone and that she should go back.

"Impossible. I am his daughter, his second daughter. Please tell him again that I must see him today."

In desperation, Lu Baofei grabbed his arm and pleaded with him.

In the past, if the Lu family wanted to protect someone, it was just a matter of a few words. But times have changed, and now she can't even see her father in this place.

The man seemed a little reluctant, but his attitude remained unchanged: "If you don't mind the lateness, you might as well wait over there."

When Lu Baofei saw Lu Zhengming, it was during the last permitted visitation time of the day.

Looking at her father's weathered face, Lu Baofei called out, "Dad."

Lu Zhengming's eyes were dark and devoid of any joy. Instead, he looked as if he were carrying a huge rock, his back hunched over, his eyes filled with indifference.

"Tell me, I'm very tired."
