Lu Fan was somewhat embarrassed, but there was nothing he could do about the situation having reached this point.
This disparity between the two sides made him increasingly aware that the road ahead would become increasingly difficult.
"Mr. Sun, I wonder if you could introduce me to the old master of the Ximen family and Ximen Xue? I think that with their combined strength, even if they can't save the Ximen family, they can at least try to win them over."
Lu Fan felt that given the familiarity between the two people, coupled with the loopholes in the relationship between the brothers, they could make full use of it.
Now he wants to take control of all the resources that the four major families can rely on.
After all, this was a blatant invasion, and he didn't believe in the ways of the world that these four great families would still oppose him.
That would undoubtedly allow the other party to reap the benefits, and he didn't think that everyone in the four major families was that stupid.
Even so, he still kept a backup plan in mind, after all, no one knew what would happen next.
"I have a certain relationship with the Ximen family. If you want to see them, whether they are willing to do so is another matter."
Mr. Sun, who was standing to the side, was speaking in a low voice. Lu Fan didn't pay any attention to it, as he felt that the other party would never let go of this opportunity.
He was even more aware that this was a chance for them to turn the tables.
Besides, he was also their enemy. Rather than letting his younger brother continue to do evil, he might as well join him in a big fight.
Even if they lose, it won't have much of an impact on them in the end.
"Thank you very much. Our cooperation will continue to increase during this period. I hope we can overcome the difficulties together and dominate the entire South City together when the time comes!"
After saying that, the two picked up their glasses and continued drinking.
During the drinking session, Lu Fan grew increasingly fond of Sun Hai, after all, among all the people in the world, only Sun Hai was willing to follow him.
During this time, their collaboration reached a new level, and when they returned, Lu Fan was already somewhat drunk.
Jiang Manyue couldn't help but sigh when she saw this scene. She had just gotten home and was lying in bed with a slight headache.
He also realized more clearly that the current situation had dragged the Jiang Group into an abyss, and whether they could climb out of it depended on their own strength.
As for the final outcome, it is closely related to them. The slightest mistake will have a huge impact in the end.
He sat to one side, constantly thinking about what had happened that day, and for some reason, he felt that something was not quite right.
However, at this moment, he couldn't pinpoint exactly what went wrong, so he could only stand aside and reflect on what had happened that day.
After Lu Fan woke up, he looked at the sunset in the distance and then came to Jiang Manyue's side.
Jiang Manyue snapped out of her daze and hugged him from behind. Looking at Lu Fan in front of her, she expressed her thoughts.
"Don't you feel that something's off about today? Why is Sun Hai willing to continue cooperating with us?"
This was something she never expected; that person had previously had some cooperation with the Simon family.
Based on their final conversation, the relationship between the two should be considered acceptable. Although they are cooperating with each other now, they are not completely subservient to each other.
After all, there are quite a few people who are more powerful than their company, but they have all left, showing no confidence in them.
They should be happy to see this person appear before them, but she can't be happy at all!
Lu Fan frowned, constantly recalling the events of the day, and he also felt that what Jiang Manyue said was not false.
Recalling the expressions of those people, Lu Fan also noticed that they had maintained a calm demeanor throughout.
The emotions displayed at that time seemed somewhat abnormal to him; most people wouldn't act like that.
That's why he always felt that the other party was probably waiting for something.
"Let's wait and see. If there's a problem, it'll show sooner or later. We can't trust this guy too much!"
Regardless, the two sides have shown sufficient sincerity in their cooperation, and there are certain constraints in the cooperation agreement they have signed.
At the very least, I can't make the first move until the other side bares its fangs.
However, while one should not harbor malicious intent, one must be wary of others. This behavior made Lu Fan more vigilant, and he dared not be too intimate with the other party.
Just as he was hesitating, a phone call came in.
"Mr. Lu, I have arranged for the old man of the Ximen family and Ximen Xue to meet with you today."
These words excited Lu Fan. If there was a breach in the Ximen family, it would be best to pry it open from here.
Also, let's find out who was secretly helping them behind the scenes, which led to the Ximen family's great increase in power.
Tonight, he also wanted to meet with Dongfang Taibai and his son, who had infiltrated the Ximen family, who were involved in smuggling.
He also wanted to know about these inside clues.
"I know where they're planning to meet, and I'm available now. If possible, I'd like to meet as soon as possible!"
Ximen Xue's voice came through the phone, but there was a hint of desolation in it. Both of them had been driven out by Ximen Yu.
Especially since he was the older brother, he never intended to compete with his younger brother. In his view, it didn't matter who became the person in charge behind the scenes.
All he wanted was for himself, his father, and the entire family to thrive. Now, his younger brother's rebellion was making him increasingly despondent.
"Mr. Lu, just name a place, and we can go there right now."
Lu Fan could hear a hint of dejection in that voice; he had never felt this kind of desolation even from Dongfang Shuo before.
"How about we stay at the hotel next to our Jinrui Group tonight?"
After booking a private room there, Lu Fan immediately headed there.
When the two of them arrived, they saw two men in suits, but their clothes were tattered, standing in front of the hotel.
The waiter standing nearby spoke with a reproachful expression.
"We don't welcome beggars here; this is a place for rich people."
"The two of you will never get in here in your entire lives!"
The two were about to explain, but the situation before them left them helpless, and the clothes they were wearing and the circumstances made them feel quite helpless.
Just as they were about to turn around and wait at the door, Lu Fan stepped forward.
"I don't mean to be mean, but this is my honored guest. How can you behave like this?"
