Upon hearing this, Dongfang Taibai simply smiled slightly.
Just as he was about to leave, Lu Fan called him back.
"I've heard recently that there have been a lot of smuggled goods appearing, and that the police are cracking down on them quite strictly."
I don't know if your Dongfang family was involved in this operation, but I advise you to be more discreet.
After he said that, Dongfang Taibai first stopped the group, then turned and left. After he left, Jiang Manyue and Secretary Ge also rushed over.
They had been secretly observing him, noticing that he wasn't entirely honest. Although he appeared compliant, he was actually quite cunning and manipulative.
"I feel like this guy isn't as trustworthy as before. I suspect that everything he's doing is for his own benefit!"
Lu Fan also realized that this person was a complete ingrate; he couldn't be raised to behave this way, and he had to be dealt with decisively.
He naturally knew that the Dongfang family, although not openly involved in the maritime industry, had done a lot of related work behind the scenes.
He had said that to test the waters, but the other party's behavior made him realize that it was not as simple as he had imagined.
Especially in this matter, he clearly felt that this guy was a person without any bottom line.
"Don't worry, those who are dishonest will be punished. I also want to see what's going on inside the Dongfang family!"
Lu Fan wanted to take this opportunity to completely suppress the entire Dongfang family and also use this opportunity to publicize his strength to the outside world.
What he wanted was to completely control the entire Dongfang family, because that would give him more peace of mind!
Jiang Manyue was still somewhat worried. For some reason, he felt that this meeting was similar to the Feast at Hongmen.
He believed that Lu Fan's trip there was bound to be a dangerous one, and that it wouldn't be as simple as it seemed!
"The Dongfang family isn't exactly an expert. Although we control most of their businesses, I've recently gained some understanding and conducted some research on them."
It seems that he is hiding someone else behind them, who is said to have some underworld connections. As for who it is and what it is, we don't know at the moment!
Actually, I didn't want you to go this time; it's somewhat dangerous."
Lu Fan, however, was completely unconvinced. In his view, the greater the danger, the greater the profit he would make. If he did not change the current situation, it would cause even more problems.
"The Dongfang family appears to be doing very well on the surface, but behind the scenes they are in such a state. How can we let them off so easily? This is a good opportunity to let them know who is in power behind the scenes and who is the ultimate planner!"
At this point, Lu Fan let out a cold laugh. He looked in the direction where those people had left, and at the same time, he was constantly thinking about the situation at hand.
He kept thinking about what he should do next in this situation!
He naturally knew that if he went there this time, the situation he would face would be more serious than he had imagined.
The other party's actions may not necessarily give him a big surprise, making him go there on his own initiative, or even forcing him to go there!
That very evening, Lu Fan found Zhang Fan.
"Do you know the people behind the Dongfang family? What is the connection between them?"
Zhang Fan hesitated upon hearing this. As someone who had been there before, he naturally knew how deep the waters were once you entered this path.
But looking at Lu Fan's appearance, he still knew that if these problems were not properly resolved, things would continue to worsen.
The fact that the Dongfang family hasn't shown its fangs yet doesn't mean they lack strength.
"President Lu, although I don't know who's behind them, they're probably not local. I've heard before that the Dongfeng family is the most defeated of the four major families."
They began searching for allies; there are very few people like that in the entire city!
Lu Fan was naturally aware that most people in the entire southern city had already been divided into areas, and those who were supposed to take sides had basically all taken their positions.
Moreover, most of them rely on the four major families as their network of connections, and they try to gain connections from other places.
This was considered an impossible task even among the four major families, and for that very reason, it was more troublesome than they had imagined.
Thinking about this, Lu Fan already had a general idea in mind. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. If it's not a local matter, then this matter will be much easier to handle.
Moreover, given the current situation and the performance of the Dongfang family, he needs to completely convince them this time.
"By the way, how's things going at the development zone? Has Big Bear contacted anyone?"
Lu Fan also had some ideas about that place, and now that things have developed, he clearly understands that the solution must be found there.
That area is still not completely resolved; the last fish hasn't taken the bait yet, and he has to wait for an opportunity.
"I've been hoping the brothers would keep an eye on things there. Judging from the current situation, it shouldn't be too long before the big fish behind it all comes to light."
Liu Shang's company has been very active lately; we've discovered they're also venturing into the maritime industry.
Lu Fan secretly noted this matter down. Now, the gambling had been completely eradicated from the entire South City under the crackdown.
However, the dreams of these four families made him feel that they must be looking for other ways out, and that gambling was not the only highly profitable industry.
The four major families wield considerable power throughout the entire southern city, making their actions naturally straightforward.
Their current moves are also the next big opportunity for Lu Fan. However, whether it's illegal to be in this opportunity and whether he can follow this trend are two different things.
Once the four major families start moving at this moment, they won't be able to give up or stop easily.
In many cases, their actions become a benchmark for an era.
But since their actions have infringed upon his own interests, they must be made to pay a heavy price.
"Keep a close eye on things in the village. If the village chief isn't honest, you'll have to handle it yourself. Absolutely nothing can happen there."
In Lu Fan's view, stabilizing the rear and using this matter as a bridge for communication with the government is the top priority at present.
