After agreeing to the request, Lu Fan kept thinking about the issue, as it was not a simple matter.
Moreover, with his current understanding of the entire Shangguan family, each step he took was for the purpose that the other party wanted to tell him.
If we discuss this in more detail, it's not hard to see that the overall situation is vastly different from theirs.
That's why Lu Fan also had some doubts.
"I never expected the Shangguan family to play such a huge joke on me in the end."
Lu Fan gave a wry smile. At least the matter here has been resolved, and there's no need to worry about these people pursuing it excessively.
However, in his view, this matter has not yet reached a final conclusion, even though the Shangguan family will not pose a threat to him.
However, if he takes the initiative to participate, it will inevitably attract the attention of the other party, which will inevitably cause quite a disturbance.
He made a call to Nangong Qun. When he received Lu Fan's call, Nangong Qun hesitated. He knew who Lu Fan had met this time.
It is also obvious that, compared to this person, there must be other problems hidden in these matters.
"How are the talks with the Guan family going? Is there any progress on this matter?"
Nangong Qun was very concerned about this matter. After learning about the Shangguan family and the intelligence they had disseminated, he immediately contacted Lu Fan. Because of this, he desperately hoped to establish contact with the Shangguan family so they could provide assistance in the future.
"The Shangguan family wouldn't have taken a fancy to you, would they? You're in for a treat right now. From what I know, they're a powerful family that lives in seclusion."
Based on what Nangong Qun knows so far, it's not clear that this person has actually done some research. However, despite this, he still has some doubts about the specific situation of the Shangguan family.
Furthermore, given how things have progressed to this point, everyone involved has played a role in driving this process.
So now he also wants to know if the so-called Shangguan family behind him really has the powerful strength he claims to have.
"To be honest, although the person I met this time was from the Shangguan family, he was just a child."
This statement puzzled Nangong Qun. After all, based on the clues he had gathered, he did understand the doll, but to only send a doll to meet someone as important as Lu Fan clearly showed a lack of respect.
Furthermore, at this crucial moment, the other party should also be aware of Lu Fan's strength, and doing so is clearly against common sense.
Furthermore, this could also worsen their relationship, making it a thankless and exhausting endeavor.
"Are you sure the other side only sent a child to pick you up? Could he be Shangguan Ming?"
If it were him, this matter might be more plausible. The other party is exceptionally outstanding within the entire family, and has done many things that have significantly impacted the family.
Lu Fan nodded. Based on the information he currently possessed, this matter was indeed true, but that was precisely the point of contention. Every step had been meticulously planned by the other party long ago, and everything he was telling him was merely a repetition of their experience.
“I know all of this. It is indeed the other party. However, the information he provided is what he wants you to know. The Shangguan family is already in considerable trouble, and it probably won't be easy for them anytime soon.”
Upon hearing this, Nangong Qun realized that something was amiss, and that he had likely been deceived as well.
However, the Shangguan family's strength is genuine; even such a behemoth has betrayed them.
The internal problems, coupled with this person's sudden appearance, added to the situation.
As a seasoned veteran, his first thought was that the other party wanted to win over Lu Fan, hoping to use Lu Fan's abilities to expand their territory.
"If I'm not mistaken, the other party came to you hoping that you could help them in the future."
What do you think of this? If you ask me, raising a puppet isn't necessarily a bad thing. Besides, even if the other party's strength is fabricated, at least within the family, they're considered quite important.
They see themselves as an external force, and believe that even if they get involved in this matter, there won't be any major problems.
And if all else fails, as long as I compensate myself a little, this gamble is practically a sure win.
Furthermore, such a smart person, even if we treat him as a friend, might still have opportunities to develop together in the future.
"So, what's your opinion of the other side? Should we get involved too?"
Lu Fan hesitated. He knew very well that if they did this, it would have a significant impact on their future.
Especially at this crucial moment, there are many things they need to figure out little by little.
Lu Fan naturally understood that the other party did not know the specific situation, but he explained that the so-called Shangguan family was more bizarre than they imagined.
Furthermore, the information available at present is far too limited; if we rashly intervene, we risk being played by the other party.
Especially now that everything is almost unified, this sudden intervention is a threat. If the other side allows them to withdraw safely, it would be a blow to the prestige of the Shangguan family.
"I've also learned about the Shangguan family. They are indeed very powerful, but the other party told me that it was caused by his brother."
They've combined external forces with all the companies to impose sanctions on their internal operations, which has severely weakened them. They want us to come over precisely because they've identified this weakness.
Nangong Qun hesitated, feeling more confused than anything else, as this was completely different from what he had imagined.
He always felt that what Lu Fan said was completely different from what he knew about the Shangguan family.
Even if there isn't a huge difference in strength, in other aspects and given their current situation, each step feels like an insurmountable chasm.
"I feel that the Shangguan family that you and I know is completely different. If that's the case, why don't we go and take a look together?"
Or perhaps we could find a place to meet and discuss this in detail!
Lu Fan also had this idea. After all, they were now in an alliance with the Shangguan family, and he wanted an ally for support.
In addition, the Nangong family wields considerable influence in officialdom, and even when it comes to the neighboring city, they have some power and connections.
In contrast, I am quite different.
