“Grandpa, I, Liu Shang, have nothing to say.”
Liu Shang spoke first, then looked at Lu Fan, mainly wanting to know Lu Fan's opinion.
Today's situation was arranged by Liu Shang through the Dongfang family. Since Elder Qu is already dead, Lu Fan will not let go of the person who stabbed him in the back. So he came to the Dongfang family, paid a price, and wanted the Dongfang family to mediate the matter.
"Lu Fan, can you at least give me your opinion?"
Seeing that his father had been waiting for a long time without Lu Fan speaking, and wondering what he was thinking, Dongfang Shuo quickly nudged Lu Fan with his elbow and said...
"Hahaha, I never expected that a single sentence from Patriarch Dongfang would turn our hostility into friendship. But what about our losses? How will you settle the matter of my wife being kidnapped?"
After hearing the words of the Dongfang family head, Lu Fan sneered, then looked at the Dongfang family head and asked in return.
"Shanggong Group will fully compensate for the losses. As for President Lu's wife, it was his third brother who did it. Liu Shang had no idea about it. Liu Shang, what do you suggest we do?"
Hearing Lu Fan's attitude, the head of the Dongfang family was very dissatisfied.
Faced with Lu Fan's attitude, the head of the Dongfang family turned his gaze to Liu Shang, who was sitting on the other side. He originally didn't want to get involved in this matter, but he was too embarrassed to lower himself to face a junior. Even if the Dongfang family's strength was not what it used to be, it was still a force to be reckoned with.
The company is currently in the recovery phase, and Liu Shang brought a lot of resources, which the Dongfang family also needed, so they agreed to Liu Shang's request.
To mediate the conflict between the two sides, if they reconcile, Liu Shang's warship will also dock in the port of the Dongfang family. Seeing that Lu Fan was ignoring him, he looked at Liu Shang with some displeasure.
"I've already captured my younger brother, Liu Shuang, and broken both of his legs. If Mr. Lu is still not satisfied, I'll blind him too!"
Liu Shang understood that the head of the Dongfang family wanted him to make a statement. Looking at Lu Fan, who was not giving an inch, he gritted his teeth and said his plan, but he still couldn't bear to kill Liu Shuang. Even though Liu Shuang had treated him that way, he was still his younger brother.
Even when he was caught, despite his anger, he only broke both legs and locked the person in a room in the villa.
"I didn't expect President Liu to be so capable. Liu Shuang is such a cunning person, and you only broke his two legs. If it were me, I would have made him disappear forever."
After pausing to listen to Liu Shang's words, Lu Fan gave a cold smile and said to Liu Shang.
"Mr. Lu, Liu Shuang is still my brother, no matter what. After all, my brother didn't do anything to Mrs. Lu, and he treated her well. Please spare Liu Shuang's worthless life."
Seeing that Lu Fan was still pressing the issue, Liu Shang stood up, looked at Lu Fan, and bowed to him.
The father and son from the East didn't say anything, but simply looked at Lu Fan.
They also felt that Liu Shang had already retreated a lot, and there was no point in saying anything more; they still had to see Lu Fan's attitude.
"You should be thankful that my wife is alright. If she were, I would have dealt with your entire Shanggong Group as well!"
Lu Fan glared at Liu Shang, who was bowing to him, stood up and shouted at him.
"So, Mr. Lu, what kind of solution do you want? Both of you are large companies in Nancheng. Let's not let these things damage our relationship."
After hearing Lu Fan's words, Liu Shang looked up at the head of the Dongfang family, hoping that the other party would say a few words to him. After all, he had given so many benefits, and he couldn't just give them away for nothing.
The head of the Dongfang family also understood Liu Shang's meaning. He was about to say something to Lu Fan, but then he realized that Lu Fan didn't give him any face at all, so he gave a look to Dongfang Shuo, who was sitting next to Lu Fan.
Dongfang Shuo, who had been sitting and watching from the side, was surprised that his father had asked him to persuade Lu Fan. After thinking for a moment, he asked Lu Fan.
"Let's just let Liu Shuang go. I'll give Dongfang Shuo face because he's my friend."
Lu Fan looked at Dongfang Shuo asking him a question, and then at the Dongfang family head whose face was not very good. He understood why Liu Shang had sent the Dongfang family to find him. If he didn't give them face today, the Dongfang family would continue to be his adversaries in the future. After thinking for a moment, he said to Liu Shang.
"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for sparing my brother!"
Hearing that Lu Fan was no longer going to hold Liu Shuang accountable, Liu Shang's smile became even brighter, and he said to Lu Fan with great delight.
The head of the Dongfang family nodded in satisfaction. He had thought that Lu Fan's attitude today showed that he no longer took them seriously. Although Lu Fan had helped the Dongfang family a lot, he had also severely damaged their strength, and they no longer had a good impression of this young man.
Dongfang Shuo was deeply moved when he heard Lu Fan treat him as a friend. However, when he thought about how he had gotten close to Lu Xi before, he felt a mix of emotions.
Despite how he had treated President Lu's sister, Lu Fan still repaid him with kindness, which made Dongfang Shuo feel extremely ashamed.
However, the ashamed Dongfang Shuo had no idea why Lu Fan said that. Lu Fan's words were just a way to save face and pave the way for what he would say later.
"Wait, you don't need to thank me yet. This matter is because I'm giving face to the Dongfang family, not to your Shanggong Group. Besides the compensation you should receive, I have another condition to mention!"
Lu Fan waved his hand twice and said to Liu Shang with a blank expression.
Upon hearing that Lu Fan had other conditions, the head of the Dongfang family, sitting on the middle sofa, felt a bad premonition.
"No problem, Mr. Lu, please feel free to name your conditions."
However, Liu Shang, who was in a state of excitement, did not realize that Lu Fan would not make any other demands, and said to Lu Fan with a smile.
“You previously removed our Jiang Group from Shanggong, and I demand that I, Lu Fan, can own 50% of your Shanggong shares.”
Lu Fan didn't really care about the compensation money Liu Shang gave him. What he was after was the future value of Shanggong Group, and he wanted to get back his 50% stake.
Hearing Lu Fan ask for 50% of the shares, and to take them back, which meant that the two of them already owned 50% each, shocked the Dongfang family head and Dongfang Shuo. They both looked at the silent Liu Shang, as no one outside knew about this matter.
They hadn't expected that Liu Shang hadn't told them this.
"Well, I've already raised funds for those shares. The reason Shanggong Group is able to stand firm now is because of these investments. But Mr. Lu is asking for 50% back right now, and I really can't come up with that amount."
After hearing the conditions proposed by Lu Fan, Liu Shang's expression changed immediately, and he lowered his head to explain to Lu Fan.
