Holding the envelope, Lu Fan didn't open it immediately. Instead, he examined it carefully before looking up at Zhang Fan.
"Chairman, the other party just gave me this letter and asked me to pass it on to you, saying that the contents of this letter are very important and must be delivered to you. They didn't say anything else."
When Zhang Fan saw Lu Fan looking at him, he quickly explained the origin of the envelope.
Lu Fan trusted Zhang Fan completely, so he randomly tore open the envelope and read what was written inside.
After reading the contents, Lu Fan's face remained expressionless. He closed the letter after finishing reading it.
"It was written by an old friend. Let's go."
Lu Fan casually put the letter in his pocket and smiled at Jiang Manyue.
After listening to Lu Fan's words, Jiang Manyue took his arm and walked towards the parking lot.
When Lu Fan said there was nothing else, Zhang Fan didn't stay standing at the door any longer. It was time to leave work, so he left the company.
What did the letter say?
After getting into the car, Jiang Manyue finally spoke to Lu Fan, because she knew him well and knew that his expression just now must have been because of something written in the letter. However, since Zhang Fan was with him, she didn't say anything.
"It's hard to explain in a sentence or two, you should see for yourself."
As Lu Fan drove, he handed the letter he had just put in his pocket to Jiang Manyue.
"What? The Dongfang family still wants to deal with us? They're practically wolves in sheep's clothing!"
After reading the contents of the letter, Jiang Manyue angrily clenched her fist and said...
"Judging from your expression, why aren't you surprised at all?"
Jiang Manyue, furious, looked at Lu Fan, who was expressionless, and asked him in confusion. Logically speaking, Lu Fan should be very angry to encounter two-faced people like the Dongfang family. Unexpectedly, it was so quiet here, which was really not normal.
"I had already anticipated the Dongfang family's situation."
Lu Fan gave a cold smile and glanced at the angry Jiang Manyue.
How did you guess that?
Hearing that Lu Fan already knew, Jiang Manyue became even more confused and asked him in bewilderment.
"From the very first time I met Dongfang Shuo, I was so heartbroken for my younger sister... Until recently, when the Dongfang family mediated between me and the Shanggan Group, I felt that the Dongfang family's character was not very good. I had people keep an eye on the Dongfang family's every move. On the surface, they did not continue to blockade us as they said, but they have been secretly making some small moves."
Lu Fan recounted his previous analysis and investigation to Jiang Manyue.
"I never expected the Dongfang family to treat us like this. We helped them regain control of the Dongfang Group, so why are they doing this to us?"
Jiang Manyue still couldn't accept it after hearing it, and couldn't understand it at all, so she asked Lu Fan.
“Hey, wife, you’re looking at things too superficially. The Dongfang family is one of the four great families. Before Elder Qu took control, it was already a very large family. Even after Elder Qu took control, its strength was still enormous. But in our previous struggle with Elder Qu, the Dongfang family’s strength was greatly reduced. It would be really strange if the Dongfang family swallowed this insult. So it’s not surprising that they’re taking such retaliatory action.”
Seeing that Jiang Manyue was unwilling to believe in the wickedness of human nature, Lu Fan shared his thoughts with her.
"So what do we do next? Today they even provoked us to have a conflict with the Ximen family. If we don't resolve this soon, there will be more and more of these kinds of things in the future. If we make too many enemies, then too many ants can swallow an elephant."
Hearing Lu Fan's words was truly more insightful than reading for ten years, and he began to be wary of these four great families.
"This letter was signed by Ximen Xue. Apart from the Beichen family, which we haven't heard from at all, I have a general understanding of the situation of the other three of the four major families. This Ximen Xue is quite a character, and he is also upright and incorruptible. He took the initiative to write to us to inform us of Dongfang Shuo's intentions, which is also because he doesn't want to fall out with us further. Ximen Xue also disdains to engage in underhanded tactics. As for the Nangong family, we don't need to worry about Sister Qi. The Beichen family doesn't even look at the Dongfang family, and their relationship has always been very delicate. We just need to focus on dealing with Dongfang Shuo. Since he wants to play games, then we'll play along with him."
Lu Fan had thought about the power structure of the four major families more than a dozen times. Then he told Jiang Manyue that all they were facing was the Dongfang family.
"Oh, right, Sun Yue must have done a great job last time. What's his position in the police station now?"
Listening to Lu Fan's analysis, Jiang Manyue also felt that it made a lot of sense, thinking that if they were to try to shake the power of the Dongfang family, it might still be a bit insufficient.
Then he remembered Sun Yue, whom Lu Fan had helped before. Lu Fan had done her a great favor. If they could get help from the police station, they would have a better chance of dealing with the Dongfang family.
“You mentioned Sun Yue. I haven’t been in contact with him for a long time, but I know Sun Yue’s personality. If you asked him to help me deal with the Dongfang family, he probably wouldn’t do it. Sun Yue is a principled person. He won’t help us unless the Dongfang family has broken the law.”
When Lu Fan heard Jiang Manyue mention Sun Yue, he realized that he hadn't contacted Sun Yue recently. But remembering Sun Yue's appearance, he shook his head and said to Jiang Manyue.
"Since you can't use Sun Yue, why help him? We can easily cultivate a trusted confidant within the police station. With your intelligence, you wouldn't have thought of that, would you?"
Jiang Manyue then looked at Lu Fan, who was driving, and asked him a question.
"What? Do you think of me as one of those people from the four major families? If everyone were like that, what would be the point of the law and the system? I helped Sun Yue because I wanted to ensure that there was someone in the police station who could uphold justice."
"Wait a minute! Are you testing me here?"
After finishing the first part, Lu Fan felt something was off. He glanced at Jiang Manyue sitting in the passenger seat and saw her smiling at him. He realized that Jiang Manyue had asked him that question on purpose.
"Of course, if the man I value did that, I wouldn't be with you."
Jiang Manyue kissed Lu Fan's cheek, then smiled and said to Lu Fan.
She had been with Lu Fan for two reasons: first, because Lu Fan treated her well; and second, because although Lu Fan appeared strong on the surface, he was actually very kind-hearted and would only retaliate against those who bullied others.
"Since Sun Yue is no longer needed at the police station, there is another person who can be a great help to me."
Since Jiang Manyue mentioned helpers, Lu Fan thought of someone else.
Who is it?
Jiang Manyue thought it over carefully and didn't think they could offer any more help.
Seeing that Lu Fan had a choice, she asked him in confusion.
Lu Fan didn't say it aloud, only that Jiang Manyue would find out later.
