"Indeed, if it were us, we would do the same. After all, we wouldn't cooperate with people whose background we don't know. If these things had been said from the beginning, the detective agency might not even exist."
Seeing Lu Fan's somewhat embarrassed expression and the increasingly tense atmosphere in the office, Liu Shang quickly spoke up to ease the awkwardness.
"It was also our fault, brother and sister. We weren't open and honest with each other and kept the debt a secret from our business partners."
Zhou Wen also understood that Lu Fan's investigation could not be entirely blamed for this matter.
If they were Lu Fan, they would have withdrawn their funds at the slightest risk.
Lu Fan only conducted an investigation, and even after discovering problems, he did not withdraw his investment but continued to cooperate with them.
Based on this alone, Lu Fan is a trustworthy business partner.
"Regardless of all that, the people I hired have also uncovered what happened a year ago. Gu Hai has been holding your secrets all along. A few days ago, my wife and I came here, and the things I said were meant to make you tell me if you had any difficulties. Today, you called me so mysteriously, I thought you were going to open up. I didn't expect it to be about this."
Lu Fan spoke his mind.
"Since President Lu is so frank, my brother and I will also speak the truth. Liu Shuang will tell everyone what he knows."
Seeing that Lu Fan had already said everything, Liu Shang gave instructions to Liu Shuang.
“Mr. Lu, Mr. Zhou. I am a mid-level manager at Gu Hai’s loan company. According to my investigation, Mr. Lu’s company, Jiang’s Group, has been continuously sending money to Gu Hai to maintain the operation of the loan company.”
Liu Shuang told everyone everything she knew.
"Wait a moment!"
Before Liu Shuang could finish speaking, Lu Fan interrupted her.
"What's wrong, Mr. Lu?"
Liu Shang looked at Lu Fan and asked, seemingly puzzled.
"You just said that it's my Jiangshan Group that's keeping Gu Hai's company running smoothly?"
As Liu Shuang explained her investigation, she came across the name of her own company.
So he quickly stopped Liu Shuang from continuing, and asked Liu Shang and Liu Shuang.
“It’s true, but we don’t know who it is. They’re just using the Jiang Group’s name to transfer money. I can show you the ledger. I can guarantee that.”
Upon hearing Lu Fan interrupt him because he said his company was Gu Hai's backer, Liu Shang patted his chest and assured him.
"I see!"
Lu Fan initially didn't intend to believe it, but looking into Liu Shang's sincere eyes...
He thought to himself: I have no conflict of interest with Liu Shang, and he has no reason to lie to me. If there is no reason for him to lie to me, there is only one possibility: there are people under me who are outwardly compliant but inwardly defiant.
"However, it's also possible that they're using your company's name to do this. I suggest you go back and thoroughly investigate the bank statements for the 22nd to see if there are any problems, because Gu Hai receives his money on this day every month, and we only recently discovered that the money transfers all had the Jiang Group's logo on them."
Liu Shuang recalled the dates of each money transfer and spoke to Lu Fan.
"I understand. What do you want me to do?"
Lu Fan nodded, memorized the date, and then spoke to Liu Shang and the other man.
"We just want President Lu to work with us from the inside to cut off Gu Hai's source of income."
Seeing that Lu Fan was interested, Liu Shang quickly shared his thoughts.
"Do you think I'm stupid? You think you'd help me get rid of a traitor in the company for free? That's highly unlikely. Tell me, what will you get in return?"
Lu Fan looked at Liu Shang, a contemptuous smile playing on his lips, and asked.
Zhou Wen and Zhou Ruan noticed that Lu Fan seemed a little unhappy, but they didn't say anything.
After all, it has nothing to do with the two sisters, and I don't want to get involved in this matter.
"Well, Mr. Lu is right. My brother and I will help you find the traitor from the inside. When Gu Hai loses his financial support, I can directly rally the masses and completely bring him down."
Seeing Lu Fan's expression, Liu Shang knew he couldn't hide it any longer, so he told him everything he wanted.
"Hmph, I knew it! Nobody does things without a reason."
Lu Fan scoffed dismissively after hearing this.
"So, Mr. Lu, what do you mean?"
Liu Shang also sensed that Lu Fan was a little unhappy.
Feeling uncertain about the collaboration, she looked at Lu Fan and asked in a low voice.
"Mr. Lu, we are very sincere. Can you find the traitor in the company?"
"You can also get henchmen like us who will do dark things for you. You've got two birds with one stone!"
Seeing that Lu Fan was still hesitant, Liu Shuang walked over and explained the interests involved to him.
"Will you listen to me?"
After listening to Liu Shuang's earlier statement about finding the traitors within the company, Lu Fan was convinced that these two individuals were the key to bringing down Gu Hai.
The people who provided him with the funds must be eliminated.
But Lu Fan didn't believe a word of what came next.
Once they're in power, they'll have hundreds of underlings under their command who will obey their orders.
I'm already quite satisfied that they don't secretly cause trouble for me.
"Yes, that's right. Of course, this obedience isn't unconditional. We can also follow Gu Hai's model. You're only responsible for directing from the shadows. Only a few of us know your identity. If something goes wrong, as long as I'm not caught, you won't be in any danger. It's just a matter of you spending some money."
Liu Shuang put his clever mind to work and came up with an excellent plan, which he then explained to Lu Fan.
Are you in a hurry?
"Me, us?"
Liu Shuang was completely taken aback by Lu Fan's sudden question and didn't know how to answer.
He turned to look at Liu Shang, wanting an answer.
"Mr. Lu, we're not in a rush, but we can't delay too long. Although we've been planning this for over a year, you know that things might change if we wait too long."
Liu Shang also heard Lu Fan's words, and immediately reached out to stop Liu Shuang from continuing. He walked up to Lu Fan, thought for a moment, and then said...
"Okay, I'll go back and discuss this first. We'll meet here again at this time the day after tomorrow, and I'll tell you my decision then."
Seeing that the two were still somewhat hesitant, Lu Fan smiled and said to them.
Although I am very satisfied with the plan, it is too risky.
If it fails, I will suffer endless retribution. It's not worth suffering so much for such a small gain.
The Liu brothers exchanged a glance, and they both understood that Lu Fan was interested.
But I still have too many concerns...
