Dongfeng Yue and Dongfang Shuo exchanged a glance. Despite having gone through so much, they still didn't understand why things had suddenly turned out this way.
"Father, what exactly is going on? Whether it's the Nangong family or Lu Fan, these two are clearly in a cooperative relationship with us. So much time has passed, why are they suddenly attacking us?"
The two frowned slightly. Dongfang Yue sighed helplessly. Only he and a few elders in the family knew what had happened behind the scenes.
They originally wanted to revitalize the family and elevate it to a higher level than before, but they never expected that their cleverness would backfire and they would become the other party's leverage.
"This matter should be related to Lu Fan, but what I didn't expect was that Old Huang was actually ignoring us behind the scenes."
We've given away all our resources, and now all the families are left behind. Even if he doesn't care about our families anymore, does he expect us to fight each other?
What he said might really be his last bit of confidence and his last bit of stubbornness, after all, it would be a bit much to say that the current situation was really true.
This was a complete one-sided crushing defeat. Whether it was the Nangong family or Lu Fan, if these two made even a slight move, it would be a catastrophic disaster for them. At this point, they were completely helpless.
"Come with me to see someone. Right now, no one but him can save our Dongfang family from this predicament."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Shuo's eyes lit up, thinking that his father was going to take him to see some savior.
He was incredibly excited all the way to the car.
But when he looked at his father beside him, he found that his father had been looking worried the whole time.
In addition, he believes that the family has been thriving during this period, and its overall development is no less than before.
All these circumstances did indeed make him feel that the entire family was undergoing earth-shattering changes. He originally thought that if things continued to be tense, the Dongfang family would eventually reach its former peak again.
"Father, why do you look so worried? We just need to see them. As long as they make a move, what's wrong with giving them half of the Dongfang family, let alone the current Dongfang family?"
After he had been rambling on and on for a while, his father still hadn't answered him, and his expression was growing increasingly serious.
All these factors made him realize that something seemed amiss, especially considering the direction the car was heading—it was clearly heading towards the city.
He was aware of the current situation of almost everyone in the community, and most of them had turned to Lu Fan.
Under the leadership of the Nangong family and Lu Fan, no one gave them much contact.
"Father, is the person you're talking about in the city? If so, doesn't something seem a bit off?"
I've never heard of anyone in this city opposing Lu Fan and his group.
At this moment, Dong Fengyue, who was standing beside him, could no longer tolerate his nagging. After pondering for a moment, she also told him the truth.
"The only person we need to ask is Elder Huang. Right now, only he can stop Lu Fan and the Nangong family from backing down, so that we can save the Dongfang family's chance of survival."
Upon hearing the name, Dongfang Shuo fell silent. He knew very well that his father had been busy with various matters during this time, and after receiving the name, he immediately understood.
His father had been working for the other party from beginning to end, but seeing the results before him, he frowned slightly and a bad feeling rose in his heart.
If this matter could have ended so easily, it wouldn't have dragged on until now. If the other party truly intended to help them, they wouldn't have shown absolutely no motivation by now.
"Father, could it be that the person behind all those businesses of our Nangong family that you and the elders have been plotting all along is him?"
Seeing his father nod in agreement, Dongfang Shuo didn't continue speaking.
They were lost in thought for a short while when they arrived at the Huanglao residential area.
However, the gatekeeper next to them did not open the gate when he saw the two of them after they got off the car.
Seeing this scene, Dongfang Yue's heart sank. If the other party let her in, there might still be a chance to change their attitude.
But faced with this scene, Dongfang Shuo could only quickly get out of the car and take out a box of cigarettes from his pocket.
Then he walked over to the gatekeeper.
"We just want to go in and take care of some business. Could you please make an exception?"
He then handed over the clapper in his hand, and then slipped two hundred-yuan bills underneath.
However, the gatekeeper shook his head and looked at the car in front of him.
"We're inside right now, it's a crucial time, and no unauthorized personnel are allowed in. This is an order from above, and I have no choice but to comply."
Seeing this, Dongfang Shuo hurriedly inquired again, wanting to know the whole story and grasp that last glimmer of hope, even if he knew that this message was very likely given by Elder Huang.
After all, given the other party's status, all they need to do is open their mouth and the matter can be handled properly. In addition, since the other party doesn't want to meet, I'm afraid no matter how much I try, I can't get anything done.
"Brother, could you make an exception for me? I'm from the Dongfang family, and I'm quite old, just like your Elder Huang. I often hang out with him."
"I came here today to get closer to you all, and besides, Old Huang's matter is our matter."
After he finished speaking, he took out several hundred-yuan bills from his pocket and handed them to the gatekeeper.
The gatekeeper looked at the few hundred-yuan bills and felt conflicted. After all, it would be somewhat inappropriate for him to disobey the orders given.
If he were to be blamed for accepting money at this moment, his position would be in jeopardy.
He then coughed lightly, accepted all the money and cigarettes, and then looked at a fence in the distance.
"I'm just following the method above. It's really difficult for you to do this, but I'm in charge of this gate, and other places are not really my concern."
Upon hearing this, Dongfang was overjoyed, for he already understood the unspoken meaning behind the other's words.
Then he got into the car and saw his father's worried face.
"Father, we can't go through the main gate, but we can go through other places. Why don't we go in first and see what's going on?"
If there's a chance, I'll try to meet with Mr. Huang; maybe there'll still be an opportunity!
The Eastern family is now completely in their hands.
