Lu Yi, who had been listening the whole time, also sensed that something was off about the atmosphere.
Since he was the only outsider there, he didn't say anything and could only watch quietly.
Upon hearing Lu Xi's admission, Lu Fan, who had been suppressing his anger, was about to speak when Jiang Manyue covered his mouth with her hand. Then, he said to Lu Xi, "It's okay, your brother and I will just ask."
After finishing her speech, Jiang Manyue pulled Lu Fan away from the dining table and led him to their bedroom.
"Why are you stopping me! She's squandered such a huge sum of money. If this isn't stopped, she'll have to sell the company!"
After being pulled into the room by Jiang Manyue, Lu Fan angrily pointed towards the door and said to Jiang Manyue in front of him.
"Can you please not be so impulsive? Xiaomei won't say where the money went, so we'll investigate it ourselves. Your temper will only backfire. Just leave this matter alone, I'll have someone investigate it."
Seeing Lu Fan's anger, Jiang Manyue sighed and said to him.
"Fine, I won't say anything more. You can take care of my little sister; I can't manage her at all!"
Lu Fan lay helplessly on the bed and said to Jiang Manyue with some resignation. After speaking, Lu Fan fell asleep. Because of the friction with the Dongfang Group, Lu Fan hadn't had a good night's sleep for many days. This time, he fell asleep again thanks to the alcohol. Jiang Manyue carefully took off Lu Fan's clothes, covered him with a blanket, and then left the bedroom to return to the dining table.
When they returned to the dining table, Lu Xi and Lu Yi, who had been sitting there, were nowhere to be found. After looking around the hall, they still couldn't find them. They then pulled the nanny aside and asked, "Where are Miss and Young Master Yi?"
"They had already left together when your husband returned to his room."
The nanny pointed towards the door and answered Jiang Manyue.
Jiang Manyue then looked towards the main entrance, but Lu Yi and Lu Xi were nowhere to be seen.
"Madam, shall we clear the table now?"
The nanny noticed that no one was eating anymore, and it was getting late. She wanted to get off work and go home as soon as possible, but no one had told her to clean up. If they were going to eat again later, she couldn't clean up herself, so she asked Jiang Manyue.
"Let's get ready."
Jiang Manyue looked back at the table, then waved to the nanny.
"Zhang He, tomorrow you find some people who are good at tracking and keep an eye on Lu Xi. I need to know where he goes and who he meets when he's not at the company!"
Jiang Manyue then took out her phone and dialed Zhang He's number. She had previously learned about Zhang He's work at Shanggong Group. He was skilled at tracking and finding people, and he would definitely be useful in the future, so Zhang He was the first person she thought of.
On the other side, Zhang He, upon hearing that it was General Jiang's order, agreed without hesitation. He knew this was his chance to prove himself.
On the other side, Lu Yi was driving Lu Xi home. Since becoming a boss and having her own company, Lu Xi had moved out and was living on her own.
"Brother Yi, where are you staying now?"
Sitting in the passenger seat, Lu Xi looked at Lu Yi, who was driving, and asked.
"Um, I currently live in an apartment."
While driving, Lu Yi answered Lu Xi's questions.
"By the way, come over tomorrow morning. I'll show you around first, and once you're familiar with things, I'll announce your appointment at the meeting."
Upon hearing that Lu Yi lived in an apartment, and remembering that Lu Yi had promised to help her, she reminded him.
"No problem, I don't have anything to do right now anyway, and you're a good place for me to show off my skills."
After listening to what Lu Xi said, Lu Yi thanked Lu Xi happily.
"Okay, we're home. Would you like to come in and sit down for a bit?"
Ten minutes later, Lu Xi pointed to a villa in front of her and said to Lu Yi.
"Don't go down yet! There are a lot of strange people around your villa."
Just as Lu Xi was about to get out of the car, Lu Yi looked around and sensed something was wrong. He quickly pulled Lu Xi back into the car, observed the surroundings, and said to Lu Xi.
"Uh, even if someone is watching me, they wouldn't dare to do anything to me. If anyone dares to lay a hand on me, they're just asking for trouble. My brother won't let them get away with it, no matter where they are in the world."
Lu Xi was taken aback for a moment, then said to Lu Yi indifferently.
"Okay, I'll watch you go in. If anything happens, call me right away."
Hearing that Lu Xi was right, no one in the entire South City dared to mess with Lu Fan now. Lu Fan was known for protecting his own, and no one would dare to touch his family. He then left his phone number with Lu Xi and said to her.
Don't worry.
Holding the phone number Lu Yi had given her, she walked straight into the villa. Lu Yi, who was in the car, saw Lu Xi go inside and then drove away.
As soon as Lu Xi entered the villa, she heard a knock at the door. She quickly checked the security camera and found that there was no one at the door.
He opened the door and saw a letter by the door. After carefully checking that no one was there, he took the letter and went back inside.
When Lu Xi opened the letter and saw what was written on it, she froze on the spot, the letter falling to the ground as if it had no roots.
Early the next morning.
Lu Xi dressed up as usual, and after she finished, she went out of the house and saw that Lu Yi was already waiting at the door.
"Brother Yi, what are you doing here? You weren't here all along, were you?"
Seeing Lu Yi waiting for her, Lu Xi was startled and suddenly thought of something and asked Lu Yi.
"Well, it didn't take long, only about an hour."
Lu Yi smiled, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said to him in a serious tone.
"Well, I'm really a little embarrassed. I took too long to get ready."
Hearing that Lu Yi had been waiting for her for an hour, Lu Xi said to him somewhat apologetically.
The two drove to the company. The employees inside stared wide-eyed at the person who came with the chairman. All the employees knew that their boss was a cold and beautiful goddess who usually no men dared to approach. Today, she actually came to the company with a handsome guy, and they all started gossiping.
"Secretary, this will be the future general manager, replacing Manager Nangong. You will take President Lu around to see the company and let him get to know it."
Lu Xi originally wanted her secretary to show Lu Yi around the company, but as soon as she entered the company, she saw her secretary at the front desk. She then led Lu Yi over and gave her some instructions.
"Okay, Chairman, this way please, Mr. Lu. I'll take you to the finance department first."
Upon hearing that he was the new general manager and shared the same surname as the chairman, the secretary respectfully made a gesture towards Lu Yi.
It happened to be on the first floor, and the finance department was the closest one to them. The secretary took them there first.
