When he arrived at the small tavern next door, he looked at Sun Yue with some hesitation.
"What brings you here today? Is it still about that trivial matter? Or do you just want to praise me to my face to feel better?"
Lu Fan remained silent. Even so, this identity was one he had given himself. When he was out in the world, the higher his status was, the more pomp and circumstance he could project.
"No matter what, you've helped me a lot. This glass of wine is to you. I hope you'll continue to help me in the future."
Upon hearing this, Sun Yue frowned slightly. His gaze towards Lu Fan clearly indicated that this was originally about mutual help.
To a certain extent, given his current status, he needs Lu Fan.
Without him, I wouldn't have been able to achieve such a large cross-server presence in such a short time.
"You're being too polite. We're like brothers, so helping each other is only natural."
Besides, haven't you helped me a lot? There are many instances where we've worked together.
The two of them flattered each other, and during this time Lu Fan didn't learn anything from the other person.
Only then did he realize that the other party would never have introduced him to Old Huang, his uncle, unless absolutely necessary.
It was like a secret to him; most people wouldn't know it.
After several rounds of drinks and dishes, the two men looked at what lay before them, feeling somewhat lost. However, at this moment, they were very clear that this matter had to continue.
"What are your plans next? Now that you have these resources, it's up to you whether you can make good use of them."
Lu Fan clearly understood from the conversation that what the other party wanted to do this time was to bring the entire South City under their control.
Based on his previous understanding and these two conversations, he felt that things were not as simple as they seemed.
Not to mention that even though the whole thing has developed to this point, there are still other versions of the story.
"I learned from the Dongfang family that Elder Huang had another title before, and his power was enormous."
Why didn't they conquer the entire region back then, but instead want to unify it now?
This was also the most puzzling thing in Lu Fan's mind. After all, someone who was once a lord could easily do this even if he was doing poorly now, by using his connections.
Not to mention the dreams of youth, how could they not have been realized, and in old age they still want to continue to strive.
Sun Yue did not give a definite answer when he heard this, and he was also unaware of the matter.
"Your question has stumped me. Although he is my uncle, I don't know anything about this matter. It has always been his decision."
At most, I can offer some assistance with tasks and ask for help under normal circumstances.
Hearing this, Lu Fan saw no need to continue. Since the other party was also unaware, there was no need for him to ask any further questions.
He simply kept this suspicion to himself, believing that someone must know, but his current status was simply not worthy of knowing.
Moreover, in his view, this matter is interconnected, and whether he can continue to strive forward is also crucial.
"I'm grateful that you were able to tell me so much. You can always come to me if you need anything in the future. We can be considered brothers now."
After exchanging pleasantries, the two went their separate ways. The next morning, Lu Fan immediately went to Xiao Hei's construction site.
This time, he also wanted to see what kind of surprise Xiao Hei could give him.
In yesterday's events, he also felt that he had helped the other party achieve their target.
Since the number of personnel assigned was so large, he also wanted to see if there were any other places that could provide some assistance, so as to properly reward the other party.
He also wanted to get some benefits out of it.
Lu Fan rubbed his head as he woke up the next day. He had been too excited the day before and had drunk too much with Sun Yue.
Now, when I wake up again and see the honey water that has been prepared next to me, I feel a warm feeling in my heart.
I picked up the honey water and found it was warm. After drinking it all, I felt much better.
Just then, the door opened, and Jiang Manyue walked in, her gaze fixed on Lu Fan.
"Who did you go drinking with yesterday? You got so drunk, don't you even think about how much work you still have to do in this house?"
He just went off to have a good time by himself. How's things going with the Dongfang family?
When Lu Fan heard this exchange, he was extremely excited because he knew that he had completely resolved the whole matter.
Moreover, thanks to his actions, the situation is no longer what it used to be. Now, with just a little manipulation, the Dongfang family can be put to his use.
"The Dongfang family is now completely ours. They will obediently follow any orders I issue."
As he finished speaking, Lu Fan revealed a mysterious smile, which made Jiang Manyue, who was standing next to him, feel strange.
He was aware that there had been increasing underhanded dealings within the Dongfang family recently, and he was doing his best to prevent any problems from arising.
But now she's telling herself that the whole thing has been resolved, how could she possibly believe it?
Moreover, the Dongfang family is not a good family; they have long since changed their image through their powerful whitewashing efforts.
It will be difficult to find leverage against them like before, especially since they don't want a dilapidated family.
We want the best of everything, which is why we've always helped them.
"You're kidding me, right? This matter has dragged on for a long time. If it could be resolved so easily, would it have taken this long?"
Lu Fan then gave a general account of what happened to Elder Huang, which shocked Jiang Manyue.
He never expected to learn from the Dongfang family that Elder Huang was originally the benefactor of the major families, and that without Elder Huang there would be no four major families today.
"You're not lying to me. If that's really the case, why would they come to you? Wouldn't the other major families be more suitable to use you?"
Nangong Qi was somewhat puzzled. He felt there must be something fishy about this matter. If it were really as easy as it seemed, then it would be far too simple.
Especially a mayor, who also leads several large families in developing their businesses.
Based on these points alone, it's easy to see that he must have commanded a behemoth.
Only a few people can reach that level of status, and this one seems even more terrifying than they imagined.
