"President Lu, the event a while ago was organized by the second young master of the Ximen family, that is, him."
Dongfang Shuo and Ximen Yu did not see Lu Fan's fist, and with a smile, they introduced Ximen Yu to Lu Fan again.
After listening to Dongfang Shuo's words, Lu Fan did not say anything, but looked at Ximen Yu, seemingly lost in thought.
"Brother Dongfang may not have explained it clearly. As President Lu knows, the government does not allow gambling venues to exist in Nancheng. Even our four major families cannot do so. However, the power of one family is limited. But the profits from this pie are enormous, and even we are drooling over it. So the heads of the four families sat down together, put aside their past grievances, and came up with a solution."
Judging from the fact that Lu Fan might not have understood, Ximen Yu explained to Lu Fan how their club was established.
Halfway through his story, he looked at Lu Fan with great pride, deliberately keeping him in suspense.
Seeing the other party's smug look, Lu Fan didn't even bother to respond and turned his gaze to Dongfang Shuo.
"Brother Ximen, please continue."
Seeing Lu Fan looking at him, Dongfang Shuo realized that Ximen Yu's arrogant habit had resurfaced, which annoyed Lu Fan. However, he didn't want to embarrass Ximen Yu, so he could only smile and urge Ximen Yu to hurry up.
"Our four families opened the casino together, agreeing that each family would operate it for one month. There were many other agreements as well, which took several hours to discuss. So, the casino opened. The government knew that it was run by our four families, so they didn't say much. I didn't expect that the event I organized a while ago would cause President Lu's sister to lose money. This was indeed my dereliction of duty, which is why I asked Brother Dongfang to come and apologize to President Lu."
Ximen Yu then bowed slightly to Lu Fan and said.
Although he had apologized on the surface, Lu Fan looked at Ximen Yu with disdain in his eyes, knowing that the other party was not convinced at all.
"It's alright, we're all friends, let's just let this matter pass."
Lu Fan glanced at Jiang Manyue, who shook her head slightly. Jiang Manyue knew what Lu Fan meant by looking at her. Lu Fan waved his hand dismissively and said to Ximen Yu.
"Yes, our Simon family is happy to have a friend like President Lu. It's getting late, and I have some things to take care of, so I'll head back now."
Hearing that Lu Fan no longer cared, Ximen Yu glanced at his watch and said to Lu Fan.
"It's nothing, I'll just deliver it!"
Hearing that Ximen Yu was leaving, Lu Fan did not get up, but instead gave orders to the employee who had brought Dongfang Shuo and Ximen Yu in.
"This way, please!"
Neither Ximen Yu nor Dongfang Shuo expected that Lu Fan would not even stand up, but simply have an employee see him off. Ximen Yu's face immediately turned icy, and he glanced at Lu Fan with a gloomy expression before leaving the office with the employee.
"President Lu, this Ximen Yu is an arrogant and petty person. I had already persuaded him to apologize to you, but you treated him like that just now. He may already hold a grudge against you. If he finds an opportunity, he will definitely take revenge on you."
After Ximen had walked away, Dongfang Shuo saw Lu Fan still leisurely drinking tea and anxiously stood up to speak to Lu Fan.
If Dongfang Shuo hadn't known Ximen Yu before, he certainly wouldn't have said such a thing.
However, seeing a meritorious servant who was killed after simply contradicting Ximen Yu made Dongfang Shuo see Ximen Yu's true colors.
"What's there to be afraid of? We'll deal with whatever comes our way!"
Lu Fan gestured to Dongfang Shuo not to be impatient, poured him a glass of water, and said.
"President Lu, do you know how terrifying the Ximen family is? Our Dongfang family is currently ranked last, and the Nangong family is second to last. The Ximen family is ranked second to last, and they have many powerful family members, including many like Elder Qu. If you make an enemy of the Ximen family, I don't think you have any chance of winning."
Dongfang Shuo paced back and forth in front of Lu Fan, and then, not caring that Lu Fan wouldn't like to listen, he explained the structure of the four major families to Lu Fan.
"Hmph, he's just a second young master. I don't even consider him a threat. At worst, I'll just take him down with me!"
Lu Fan had no idea what Dongfang Shuo was saying, and he was already thinking of compromising.
But the more he thought about it, the angrier he became. A voice inside him told him that he shouldn't compromise like this, but Lu Fan still managed to restrain himself.
"President Jiang, President Lu has gone mad! You should try to persuade him!"
Seeing that Lu Fan had no intention of mediating, Dongfang Shuo turned to look at Jiang Manyue, who was also there, and walked up to her anxiously.
"Whatever decision he makes, I will fully support him."
Jiang Manyue also loathed these four families. They were willing to engage in illegal business just to make money. If Lu Fan had compromised just now, Jiang Manyue would have despised him from the bottom of her heart.
Seeing that Lu Fan didn't give the other party a hard time, Jiang Manyue was very satisfied and knew that she had chosen the right person.
When Jiang Manyue heard Dongfang Shuo ask her to persuade Lu Fan, she said to him irritably. Jiang Manyue still remembered what happened between Dongfang Shuo and Lu Xi, and she didn't want to say anything more to him.
"Okay, I've said what I needed to say about this, so I'll be going now."
Finding that Lu Fan and his wife were both incredibly stubborn, and that nothing could sway them, he could only helplessly shake them off and leave.
At this moment, Lu Fan sensed that something was wrong. Looking at Dongfang Shuo's departing figure, he felt an indescribable sense of conspiracy.
"Hmph, let's see if you die this time!"
Dongfang Shuo, who was leaving the Jiang Group, glanced back at the building behind him. The regretful expression on his face was gone, replaced by a sinister look. He snorted and left.
Just as Dongfang Shuo had predicted, Ximen Yu returned to his villa and began to fly into a rage.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
Hearing that things were being smashed inside the villa, they assumed something had happened and all the bodyguards rushed into Ximen Yu's study. Ximen Yu's confidant saw what Ximen Yu had smashed and seemed to be in a bad mood, so he asked him in a low voice.
"Go, gather everyone together! I'm going to kill someone today!"
At this point, Ximen Yu was so enraged that he no longer pretended to be gentle and refined. His tyrannical nature was fully revealed as he gave orders to his trusted confidants.
"Boss, who are we going to take out?"
As a trusted confidant who had always followed Ximen Yu, I felt that Ximen Yu was unusually uncalm this time. He usually handled things very calmly. I felt that the person he wanted to kill would not be simple. I asked Ximen Yu in a low voice.
"Lu Fan of the Jiang Group, I don't care what you do, I don't want to see him again!"
