"Let's talk about it later."
Zhou Wen's favor? Liu Shang didn't need anything from her, so what use was a favor? He waved his hand with a smile and said.
"But there's something I need to make clear to you!"
Zhou Wen, who had just been grateful, suddenly changed her expression and said to Liu Shang in a serious tone.
"Are you talking about Zhou Ruan's matter?"
Without Zhou Wen saying anything, Liu Shang already knew what had happened and asked Zhou Wen about it.
“That’s right, Zhou Ruan is my sister, she’s my only family. I won’t allow her to be with someone who’s always fighting and killing. If you really love her, don’t ruin her life!”
Zhou Wen knew that Liu Shang was smart enough to know what she wanted to say, so she told him what she was most worried about.
"What! How could there be any danger following my brother! My brother will soon be the boss of this entire city!"
Liu Shuang understood the meaning behind Zhou Wen's words.
He was both disgusted by the fact that the guy was a petty thug and that he was a burden to his younger sister, and he said this in a fit of anger.
Liu Shang picked up his phone and looked at the message that had just been sent. His expression changed instantly, and he then tugged at Liu Shuang, who was sitting next to him.
"What's wrong? How could this be? We're definitely not like that."
Liu Shuang, who had been tugged by Liu Shang, turned around and asked Liu Shang.
He had just finished asking the question when he saw the text message on Liu Shang's phone screen. He pointed at the message with an incredulous look on his face.
"That's enough, Mr. Zhou, we have other things to attend to, so we'll be leaving now. We can talk about it later."
Liu Shang retorted to Liu Shuang, stopping him from continuing.
He said this to Zhou Wen, who was sitting in the office chair.
"Walk!"
Before Zhou Wen could say anything, Liu Shang uttered a single word, and the two hurriedly left the office, exiting the coffee shop through the back door.
"Brother, didn't we clearly lock the gate? Didn't he already promise us he wouldn't go?"
As soon as they stepped out the back door, Liu Shuang couldn't help but ask Liu Shang a question.
"How would I know! This text message only says that someone went to rescue Zhang Tenglong and got caught, it doesn't necessarily mean it's Lao Er!"
Faced with Liu Shuang's long string of questions, Liu Shang was also at his wit's end.
My second brother is not afraid of anyone when it comes to fighting, but no one can compare to him when it comes to causing trouble.
"It's over. If it really is Second Brother, all our plans will be in vain. Should we act now? Only in this way can we avoid being put on the defensive."
The two got into the car, and Liu Shuang analyzed the situation for Liu Shang.
"Third brother, I know you must know the consequences of doing this. I'll pretend I didn't hear what you just said!"
After listening to Liu Shuang's suggestion, Liu Shang glanced at Liu Shuang expressionlessly.
He continued driving, speaking in a low voice as he drove.
"Brother, of course I know the consequences of doing this, but if something really happens, we'll have to use the method I just described to get out of our current predicament."
Liu Shuang knew why Liu Shang wanted her to take back what she had just said, but she still continued to persuade Liu Shang.
"What about your second brother! He's your second brother!"
Liu Shang parked the car on the side of the road, grabbed Liu Shuang by the collar in the passenger seat, and questioned her.
"I know! If I were the second brother, I would rather sacrifice myself than let our year's efforts go to waste!"
Liu Shuang held Liu Shang's hands with both of them, her eyes filled with determination as she spoke to him.
"I won't do that!"
Liu Shang still couldn't make up his mind, and said to Liu Shuang.
"Do you think I want this?! I don't want all your years of forbearance to be for nothing!"
"If you think that plan won't work, what if Second Brother gets caught and severely tortured?"
“Let’s do it my way, otherwise my second brother will die too. At least if we do it that way, there’s still a glimmer of hope.”
"If our second brother is already dead, or if he didn't go, then we should continue to endure."
"We'll take our revenge when the time is right!"
In fact, Liu Shuang was also very uncomfortable with this plan.
After all, he was his second brother, and when he came up with this plan, it was only for the sake of the bigger picture.
If it were up to one's own wishes, who would risk their own brother's life, especially when their elder brother disagrees?
Liu Shuang could only suggest a last resort to Liu Shang.
"Let's go with this plan. I'll go in and scout things out later. You wait outside, and we'll go all out!"
Liu Shang loosened his grip on Liu Shuang's collar and had no objection to Liu Shuang's plan.
He looked at Liu Shuang with a determined gaze and said.
"Let's reshuffle the cards then."
Liu Shuang's eyes were also filled with fighting spirit as he spoke.
The two continued driving towards the company.

"What's wrong?"
Lu Fan rushed home after receiving the news.
Upon entering the house, he saw Jiang Manyue, his mother, and his sister sitting on the sofa watching TV.
Without showing any sign of tension, he asked the crowd with a bewildered expression.
"The baby just kicked me, Mom and my little sister are making a big deal out of nothing."
Jiang Manyue looked at Lu Fan, who had rushed back in a hurry and was covered in sweat, and said apologetically.
"Yes! I was quite startled just now."
Aunt Lu patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief, still feeling a bit shaken.
"It's my fault! I panicked a bit."
Lu Xi looked at Lu Fan, who lowered his head, and said guiltily.
"Oh, I see! It's alright. Xixi, you did a great job. Next time, if Mom and my little sister Jiang Manyue have any problems, be sure to call 120 first, and then call me right away."
Looking at his sister with her head down, Lu Fan felt that Lu Xi had done nothing wrong in this matter.
He gave instructions to Lu Xi and her mother, who were both looking down.
"Um."
Lu's mother nodded as well.
Lu Xi stopped looking down and smiled broadly when she heard Lu Fan praise her.
"I only called you a few minutes ago and you rushed back. Weren't you at the company?"
Jiang Manyue felt a warm glow in her heart after hearing this.
But when I glanced at the time, I realized that it should take half an hour to get home from the company.
Even if you drive fast, it will still take more than twenty minutes. It will only take ten minutes to get home. Jiang Manyue asked Lu Fan with some doubt.
"Here's what happened. Rella Coffee Shop said they had something urgent to discuss with me before I left work at noon. I went there as soon as I finished work."
Lu Fan didn't hide anything and told Jiang Manyue the whole story.
But there was a pause when they were about to talk about the Liu brothers.
His eyes turned to his wife and his sister.
"And then what?"
When the conversation ended abruptly, Jiang Manyue asked Lu Fan.
"She showed me the company's accounts, saying that Wang had shown them to me last time. When I asked her what it was about, she told me it was this matter."
Lu Fan still didn't reveal what happened next.
He made up a reason on the spot and said it to the group with a smile.
