Nangong Qun looked at his daughter, who was describing the scene vividly, and could only sigh helplessly.
He had known for a long time that his daughter liked the other man, and his actions might very well be related to him.
But the more this was the case, the less he wanted to choose Lu Fan, because he felt that this guy was too mysterious.
This is a huge undertaking with too many implications. If I rush in, I might put more pressure on the other party.
If someone as powerful as myself were to help secretly, it might be fine, but if I were to bring it out into the open, it would provoke an even fiercer counterattack from the other party.
“I have my own plans for this matter, and you don’t need to say more. That kid has indeed brought me a lot of surprises, and I owe him a few favors.”
Nangong Qi was stunned when he heard this, but he could tell from the tone that his father still favored Lu Fan.
"Father, what you just said is true. So, you want to choose Lu Fan next?"
Nangong Qun did not answer this question, after all, this was just his current thought, and besides, that kid was trapped inside.
For now, the only option is to control the situation from within.
If someone like this can't get out, there's no need for him to consider it. But if this kid really has some strength, even if his Nangong family joins, it won't matter.
"You don't need to say anything more. This matter is of great importance to our entire Nangong family, and I will absolutely not choose sides because of a trivial matter."
However, I do owe that kid a favor, so I can definitely let him go.
Although Nangong Junqun did not want to take sides, he still needed to repay the favor he had done.
Otherwise, who knows how far this small favor might escalate?
Furthermore, getting him out was, in his view, a very simple matter. As long as he used a little trickery, it was only a matter of time before Lu Fan came out.
"Really? Father, you really want to get Lu Fan out? If that's the case, then I won't hold it against you."
The next morning, Sun Yue came to Lu Fan's side, but this time he sighed as he looked at Lu Fan.
"You're really lucky, kid. You have someone backing you up. Now you can get out."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan, who was still sleeping in, suddenly woke up and, upon seeing Sun Yue in front of him, quickly asked her what was wrong.
In his view, this must be due to the Nangong family exerting their influence.
Only the immense pressure from the other party could have secured his release so quickly; it would have been impossible for anyone else to do so so swiftly.
Moreover, this is their territory, so it's impossible for them to unleash their power here in a short time.
"However, according to normal regulations, we do not have conclusive evidence, so our irrigation efforts can only be temporary."
Hearing this, Lu Fan remained silent. He was already very excited to be able to come out early, and the Nangong family's gesture of goodwill towards him was appreciated.
This was even more exciting than his coming out. He looked at Sun Yue in front of him, and then at Zhang Qi beside him.
"I have to say, brother, I owe you a debt of gratitude for getting out of here so quickly."
If it weren't for your help, I'm afraid I would have had to resort to some more underhanded tactics.
Zhang Qi, who was standing to the side, was furious when he heard this, but he also thought that his father should be coming over soon, and it would only be a matter of time before the others left.
Thinking back to the other party's identity and the development of the whole matter, he had long felt that something was wrong. Looking at Lu Fan in front of him, he immediately realized that it must have been this guy who told him the secret.
"This isn't over between us! Don't worry, once I get out of here, I'll make sure you know what revenge is."
"Our Zhang family will absolutely not let you bully us like this."
Sun Yue, standing to the side, stared at the other person with a look of utter disbelief.
"Even now you still don't know your own identity? Do you still think you can get out of here easily?"
These questions were thrown at Zhang Qi one after another. Zhang Qi didn't say anything, knowing that the other party was just a stubborn person.
Moreover, even though this guy has evidence against him, he can simply buy it with money.
If all else fails, there's always a family member who can easily bribe someone with enough money.
He himself had done this kind of thing quite often, or rather, it was a simple matter for the Zhang family to get it out of the friends they made outside.
"So what? Don't you know who I am? I'm the eldest son of the Zhang family. Just watch and see who has the last laugh."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yue didn't want to continue arguing with the other party. After releasing Lu Fan, he returned to his original post.
Now, because of Lu Fan's situation, he has completely handed over the cases outside to others.
"Brother, if you hear anything from them again, be sure to let me know immediately. Those people have already transferred my responsibility for this matter to them. But investigating secretly is still fine. If anything unexpected happens, I will definitely not let those guys get away with it."
Sun Yue had long harbored deep hatred for that group of people, and it was obvious that they wielded immense power. He felt nothing but utter disgust for their actions.
Therefore, all he saw in this behavior was anger.
"Don't worry, I will notify you as soon as I have any evidence. However, how should we deal with the fact that the Ximen family is harboring bandits?"
Lu Fan was curious to know how the Ximen family was being dealt with.
