The cunning and shrewd Old Master Gu had managed to get to this point, so how could he not know that Lu Fan was planning to use him as a tool?
Having experienced the events firsthand, he naturally understood that what he said was true.
The whole thing was indeed as the other party said; it had been almost entirely under their control before.
Lu Fan won over all of them, which required a large sum of money and represented a considerable expense.
"Of course, it's best if everyone can make money, Mr. Lu. I also know that you've bribed them all. Why don't we think about it from a different perspective? Next, we can all form a team together and take them all out."
At the same time, I can also help you investigate the people behind them and give you a safe environment.
At this point, the phone suddenly went silent. Lu Fan understood that the other party had already laid out their bargaining chips; whether he was willing to choose to follow them was now up to him.
Moreover, this cannot be explained in just a few words.
If you're not careful, the changes you make won't be so simple.
Besides, since the other party knows me so well, I can't keep giving them the runaround. Doing so would only backfire and make them feel disgusted.
"That would be wonderful. I'm waiting for your good news."
Don't worry, I will return the money I gave them before to you exactly as it was. This can be considered our first collaboration.
Upon hearing this, Grandpa Gu on the other end of the phone was stunned. He saw this as an opportunity for Lu Fan to surrender willingly, and thought he could help him at this moment.
Moreover, this not only saves face but also demonstrates one's own strength and stabilizes him.
This feigned madness left him speechless. He currently held the upper hand, and it felt inappropriate to let Lu Fan go unchecked.
But if I do as the other party says, wouldn't that ruin my original plan?
Especially since they did things but didn't get any credit, even though they knew about the assassins behind it, their strength was undeniable.
If he were to truly eliminate them all, he would have to pay a certain price.
He originally intended to use this to bring Lu Fan into his camp.
The incident occurred in the middle of the night because of an unexpected incident that happened while handling matters earlier that day, resulting in an encounter with the other party's personnel.
He then realized that behind Elder Huang was a team of similar strength, and those people were also constantly on guard around them.
This also means that he can no longer afford to spend a lot of money to eliminate all the assassins.
From another perspective, these assassins could also slowly punish Lu Fan, acting as a delaying tactic. Only in this way could they perhaps gradually change the situation.
Moreover, with everything just getting back on track, he was eager to use this opportunity to let Lu Fan know who the right master was.
"These assassins are very powerful. It wouldn't be impossible to wipe them all out, but it would take some effort."
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan feigned ignorance, pretending that he didn't understand anything.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu, if you need anything or suffer any losses, I will definitely compensate you double!"
"As long as you can provide me with a materials list, I can help you solve all your problems. This is also the key to our cooperation!"
Old Master Gu's face darkened. These two sentences had him completely bewildered. He had just wanted to have a proper chat with the other party, but this guy had taken a few words as a sign that he had changed his attitude.
He also wanted to know what this guy was thinking.
"President Lu, there are some things I don't know whether I should say or not. I also know that you are a smart person, and there's no need to make our cooperation so complicated."
Wouldn't it be better if everyone just talked things out clearly? Why bother with this pretentious charade, this act of feigning madness and ignorance? What's the point?
He didn't want to keep Lu Fan in suspense any longer. He could tell that this guy was just looking for trouble and wanted to see him do everything.
If it were a small matter, that would be the answer; according to his intelligence, it would be quite clear.
He also knew that Lu Fan was investigating the other party's clues and wanted to catch them all in one fell swoop.
"Why don't we all work together? I know you've done a lot of research and investigation on these teams."
If we all work together, perhaps we can change the current situation and make those people disappear in a short time.
Upon hearing this, Lu Fan stopped pretending to be crazy and started thinking about it.
He knew perfectly well that this was entirely based on his own interests, and that once it was done, he would have no worries.
He could live freely and unrestrainedly, but if he really did that, wouldn't Old Huang's position be extremely awkward?
He had just negotiated with the other party and they had conceded some of their benefits. He knew that the other party must understand and be aware of today's situation.
It won't be long, maybe it will pass, and they'll come to me to discuss this matter.
"Grandpa Gu, I am just a small person with limited resources, and I only have some basic information and clues at the moment. It is simply impossible for me to investigate them all."
At this moment, Lu Fan also spoke his mind, and in doing so, he indirectly revealed himself based on the other party's understanding.
Regardless of who helps him next, as long as he eliminates them all, that will be enough for him.
"As I just said, we can indeed provide assistance, but it is very limited. We can share intelligence and other information."
However, if I really want to confront them head-on, I also need to consider the feelings of my other brothers. I can't just lead them through this in a muddled way.
Lu Fan had this thought in his mind, and he understood their importance. If Elder Huang was willing to help him resolve this, that would be the best outcome.
Following Old Master Gu, he also understood that this person was extremely shrewd and calculating, and judging from the current situation, it was definitely not for such a small amount of immediate benefit.
This will inevitably lead to widespread destruction and cause significant damage to the overall economy.
After careful consideration, although cooperation is possible, it is essential to draw clear lines to prevent the other party from ruining his reputation.
