Lu Chi was mentally discussing things in northern Myanmar with Guagua when he noticed Liu Ruyan deliberately moving closer.
She winked at Lu Chilian several times, and said in a sweet, captivating voice, with utmost gentleness:
"Wow, you're amazing! I'm pretty good at games, but I'm nothing compared to you. Can you teach me how to beat you?"
As she spoke, Liu Ruyan's delicate, fair hand stealthily reached out to Lu Chi's chest.
Lu Chi grabbed the hand and pressed it back into place, saying, "This beautiful lady, I haven't yet asked your name."
Guagua chuckled to herself. Her host was trying to turn the tables on Liu Ruyan, gaining her trust so she could deliberately pass on false information to Liu Ruyan to take back.
Liu Ruyan pursed her lips with her right hand and chuckled softly.
She said softly, "My name is Liu Ruyan, which means 'willows drunk as spring smoke'."
Lu Chi deliberately let out an "oh" sound, drawing out the sound for a long time.
"So it's Liu Ruyan! A classic character from various novels. No wonder she's so beautiful."
Liu Ruyan smiled shyly: "Oh dear, please stop praising me, I'm getting embarrassed."
Lu Chi shook his head, his tone firm: "No, this is not a compliment, it's a fact. I have never seen anyone more beautiful than you."
"Hehehehe..." Liu Ruyan covered her mouth and laughed even harder. "Little brother, let's play a few more rounds. I want to beat you."
Lu Chi waved his hand casually, "Alright! Fight! Fight until you're down!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Ruyan's face flushed red, and she deliberately said in a coquettish voice, "Oh dear, little brother, I didn't expect you to be so naughty at such a young age."
Lu Chi teased her, "It can get even worse, do you want to try?"
...
Northern Myanmar.
Zhang Hu sat on a fine golden nanmu wood chair.
Holding a phone with its casing densely studded with top-grade diamonds, one can only exude extravagance.
At this moment, a video of Lu Chi fighting with the old witch Murong Xiaolin is playing on the phone.
Zhang Hu remained silent, his brows furrowed, watching the video repeatedly.
Seeing him sighing and groaning, his subordinate Yu Lei stepped forward and asked with concern, "Brother Tiger, what's wrong?"
Zhang Hu shook his head and didn't say anything.
About half a minute later.
He then asked, "Have Liu Ruyan and Zhang Tiejun arrived in China?"
Yu Lei replied, "We've arrived. Kong Tiejun just sent a message saying that Liu Ruyan has successfully approached Lu Chi."
Zhang Hu nodded: "Lu Chi is the biological son of Lu Yuanqing, the richest man in Beijing. The Lu family's influence in China should not be underestimated. Tell them to be careful and not to cause any trouble."
"Yes, Brother Tiger, I'll inform Kong Tiejun right away."
Yu Lei stepped down, and Zhang Hu stared at the fighting scene on his phone screen, lost in thought.
...
The Lu family mansion.
The family was getting ready for dinner.
Pan Feng was worried about Lu Chi not returning, and also concerned that he might be hungry because he wasn't eating.
She took out her phone and called Lu Chi: "Hey, Chi'er, what are you doing? Have you eaten? When are you coming home?"
In a luxurious upscale restaurant.
Lu Chi sat casually, holding his phone to his left ear with his left hand, while using chopsticks to pick up food with his right.
When Pan Feng asked him where he was, Lu Chi glanced at Liu Ruyan across from him and said calmly:
"Mom, I'm having dinner with my friends. Don't worry about me, I'll be back soon."
Pan Feng nodded: "Okay. Chi'er, then go home as soon as possible and be careful."
Lu Yuanqing comforted Pan Feng:
"Don't worry, you know our son. He's quick-witted and highly skilled in martial arts. Plus, he has several bodyguards—Chasing Wind, Rainstorm, Thunderclap, and Lightning—and our driver, Xiao Li, also knows martial arts. Our son will be fine."
"Yes, honey, you're right. No one can bully our son."
Pan Feng turned around, sat down in a dining chair, and said to her daughters, "Chi'er is having dinner with friends outside. You don't need to wait for him. Let's eat."
The family sat down to eat.
Midway through the meal, Lu Yuanqing got up to answer a phone call. When he returned, he had a dark expression on his face and looked very unhappy.
Lu Sangning sensed something was wrong and asked, "Dad, what's wrong? Who called?"
Lu Yuanqing sat back down on the stool and said in a deep voice, "Just now, we received a call from Laos saying that the accountant of our company in Laos suddenly absconded with the money, and 100 employees of the company, who don't know who instigated them, are shouting loudly at the company gate, demanding their wages."
"What?" Pan Feng exclaimed in shock upon hearing Lu Yuanqing's words, "This accountant is too bad! How come he's the same as Yan Xin's accountant?"
Lu Qingru also said repeatedly, "Laos has gone too far. They haven't given us an explanation for the incident in northern Myanmar yet, and now they're targeting our company."
Lu Yanxin's face was icy cold. Why was her company so unlucky, always encountering cases of embezzlement and running away with funds?
Lu Xiaoyue didn't speak, because she was too angry to know what to say.
After finishing her meal, Lu Yunke was in a hurry to go to the toilet and did not participate in the family's discussion.
Lu Yuanqing's face was ashen, and his voice was as cold as ice: "I suspect that this was done by people from northern Myanmar in collusion with people from Laos. Hmph, it's just a company, it's not enough to bring down our Lu family!"
Lu Sangning remained silent, frowning as she pondered the problem.
It seems like there's been a lot going on at home lately. My third sister's company is having financial problems, and so is the company in Laos. Is there any connection between the two?
The family was discussing when suddenly Lu Yuanqing's phone rang again.
Lu Yuanqing pressed the speakerphone button and heard an anxious voice coming from the other end.
"Chairman, something bad has happened. The accountant of our real estate company in northern Myanmar has absconded with the money. The people who bought the houses are saying that the houses are haunted and they are all clamoring to get a refund."
Lu Yuanqing: "..."
Everyone in the Lu family: "..."
Another phone call rang.
Shopping malls in the Yue Kingdom were also vandalized.
It was only then that everyone realized that things were really not quite normal.
It seems the Lu family is being targeted by someone.
Not only companies in Laos and northern Myanmar, but also companies in Vietnam have been affected.
Who could have done it?
Lu Yuanqing said to Lu Sangning, "Sangning, immediately issue a notice to convene a high-level meeting."
Lu Sangning nodded: "I understand, Dad."
The parents hurriedly left the house.
Regardless of who started this, we need to deal with it first.
Pan Feng looked out the window; it was already completely dark, but Chi'er had not yet returned.
I wanted to call him, but I was worried about disturbing his dinner with his friends.
Pan Feng hesitated for a long time, but ultimately did not call Lu Chi.
Lu Qingru said anxiously to Pan Feng, "Mom, let Lu Chi come back and ask him what happened."
Pan Feng shook her head: "Chi'er was finally found and made a good friend. He's having dinner with his friend, so let's wait until he finishes eating before we talk about it."
"Okay." Lu Qingru didn't say anything more and went back to her room.
