"Intentional?" This was something A-Jie hadn't expected; the other party was actually quite bold.
This was the first time Lu Shen had encountered opponents who were completely unafraid of him; they weren't afraid at all that he would continue his investigation.
The fact that they deliberately released Li Anran as a pawn shows that they didn't care about Li Anran's life at all.
On the contrary, the other party seemed to care more about his reaction.
"That's quite interesting. I'm getting more and more curious about who this boss is."
"I'd really like to meet him if I had the chance."
On the other side, Lu Jianming also pressed the play button on the phone, seemingly lost in thought.
The underling standing nearby asked worriedly, "Boss, is something wrong? Is it difficult to deal with Li Anran?"
Lu Jianming shook his head. Li Anran would still need their help if she wanted to gain a foothold in the Lu family.
This woman will still listen to them for the time being.
“When I called Li Anran just now, I deliberately made our people give themselves away, so that they would definitely be tracked by the Lu family’s surveillance system.”
The younger brother was clearly taken aback; when had their boss become so reckless?
They were trying to hide, but their own leader deliberately exposed a weakness so that others could see it.
"Should we change our base?"
He had barely finished speaking when he was struck by a brutal blow from Lu Jianming.
"Why are you running? Even if he's tracking us, he can only track us halfway. He won't be able to find us at all. What are you worrying about?"
The younger brother rubbed the back of his head and smiled sheepishly.
"The boss is right, he's very thoughtful."
However, Lu Jianming was worried about something else.
"Now Lu Shen must know that Li Anran is one of our people. I'm a little curious whether my nephew will agree to let Li Anran work in the company."
No matter how I think about it, it seems unlikely. Lu Shen isn't stupid; why would he let Li Anran join the company knowing that she had ulterior motives?
Isn't this like inviting a wolf into the house?
"Boss, if Lu Shen won't let Li Anran into the company, shouldn't he get that old lady from the Lu family to put in some effort?"
I heard that the old lady is very satisfied with Li Anran, and she tries her best to meet all of her requests.
Lu Jianming glared at the underling who had spoken, and snorted coldly, "That old lady who's practically half-buried? What can we expect from her? The Lu family's company has nothing to do with her."
Back then, to keep an eye on her, the old man never let her work at the Lu Group for even a single day.
Although she is now the eldest member of the Lu family, she has no say in the Lu Group.
"Furthermore, I don't think Lu Shen will stop Li Anran. On the contrary, if he is confident enough, I think he will agree to let her in."
I heard that Lu Shen hasn't met his match in many years, so deliberately showing a weakness today is tantamount to declaring war.
The arrogant young master of the Lu family probably thought he had everything under control.
Little did he know, he was slowly falling into the trap he had set for himself.
With the moon high in the sky, the two Lu families began their struggle.
Jian Ruoxi couldn't feel this change yet; all she wanted to do now was get home and rest.
"Xiao Jin has come to my house again?" She saw her light on downstairs.
Needless to say, it must be that girl who came again.
Since he has his own home but doesn't go back, and keeps coming to her place, she simply cleaned out a room for Lu Jin to stay in.
Jian Ruoxi shook her head helplessly and went upstairs. When she opened the door, the first thing she saw was Lu Jin sitting in the living room, busy with his work. The coffee table was covered with torn snack bags.
I wonder how long Lu Jin has been busy with this.
"This is the first time I've seen you working this hard in a while. What's up? Is there something going on with the script?"
When Lu Jin saw Jian Ruoxi return, he excitedly pulled her to his side, eager to tell her about his day's achievements.
"You're the one who understands me best. I have indeed found a great general."
She showed Jian Ruoxi her chat history with Shi Tou.
"You've only been chatting online, you haven't met in person?"
She admitted that the story of this person named Stone had a different starting point than others.
But since they haven't even met, it seems a bit unreliable.
What if Lu Jin gets scammed? After all, Lu Jin's brain isn't always working perfectly.
"I wanted to meet her, but Shi Tou didn't want to. I guess she's shy."
Jian Ruoxi felt it was necessary to remind Lu Jin.
"Xiao Jin, working on a script is such a big deal, how can we talk about it without meeting in person? You don't even know if she's a man or a woman."
"You're really so comfortable entrusting him with writing the script?"
Lu Jin didn't really think much about the other party. He didn't investigate who they were or why they were unwilling to come out, adhering to the principle of respecting others.
If the eldest brother's men were to investigate, I believe they could uncover the entire lineage of Stone within half a day.
But she knew those things were useless to her; all she wanted now was the script.
"Ruoxi, what I'm about to say might seem a bit nonsensical to you."
"This is the first time I've chatted with that Stone online. Like you said, we've never even met in person."
"But for some reason, I have a natural trust in this stone, as if I know it would never cheat me."
Trust between people is such a wonderful thing, just like when she first met Tianlei, she felt the same way.
Such an honest person is destined to be bullied by others.
Perhaps it is because of this phenomenon that she chooses to believe unconditionally.
"As long as you think it's okay, that's fine."
To stop Jian Ruoxi from worrying, Lu Jin teased her.
"I have a good eye for people. You know, when you first came to the Lu family, I wanted you to be my sister-in-law. I never thought it would actually happen."
She remembers going to her grandfather's room and giving him a high five.
"You've only been my sister-in-law for three years, and your judgment of people is still a bit off; it's time-sensitive," Jian Ruoxi joked.
Lu Jin deliberately kept everyone in suspense, holding up a finger and waving it in front of Jian Ruoxi's eyes.
"No, no, no, you can't say for sure what will happen in the future."
"What if I can still retain my status as the eldest sister-in-law?"
She only recognizes Jian Ruoxi as her sister-in-law; she won't let anyone else call her that.
"Alright, my dear Director Lu, stop joking with me. It's getting late, you should get some rest."
As she spoke, Jian Ruoxi began to tidy up the things on the table.
Lu Jin continued to press for details, "If my older brother really came back to find you, Ruoxi, would you still be willing to return to the Lu family?"
She didn't mind testing Ruoxi's reaction first, since her older brother hadn't asked the question yet.
