It might have been stolen by someone?
That's what Lu Fan said on the other end of the phone.
This line of thinking momentarily stumped Mr. Li.
One can't help but be surprised to find out who the pickpocket was who did this so quietly.
On the one hand, Mr. Li thought this claim was impossible, but on the other hand, he couldn't help but feel apprehensive. What if there really was a professional pickpocket who stole his things? Would they take it to the Wang family?
Is it possible that the pickpocket was caught by the Wang family last night while he was stealing?
Even if they are caught later, will the pickpocket reveal the existence of the eavesdropping device in order to gain credit and reduce his punishment?
Mr. Li had no doubt about the Wang family's methods, nor did he doubt their ruthlessness in dismembering him and throwing him into the sewer after they learned that he had intended to eavesdrop on the Wang family's intelligence.
He murmured somewhat slowly, his reaction somewhat sluggish:
"President Lu, please believe me, I have really searched everywhere, but I just couldn't find it."
He swallowed nervously again, and said hopefully:
"Mr. Lu, is this expensive? Otherwise... could we buy another pair? I... I'll pay for it!"
Lu Fan could only sigh:
"Buy? We can only buy a pair now if we're sure you really lost it somewhere."
"But have you ever thought about what will happen to you if this is exposed?"
"Mr. Li, we've worked together for a while, and I don't want anything to happen to you." Both Lu Fan's tone and the content of his words made Mr. Li tense and shiver.
He knew all too well what fate awaited him.
It will only get more terrifying, and it won't be any better than you imagined!
Moreover, what Lu Fan said was true. It wasn't that the items were hard to buy, but rather that he was about to lose his life, so what was the point of buying them?
Mr. Li finally recognized reality, and his tone changed from tentative and trembling to one of fear and terror.
He wept bitterly and wailed:
"Mr. Lu, you must save me! I'm not young anymore, but I'm not ready to live any longer!"
"Even ants cling to life, let alone a living, breathing person like me, Mr. Lu, I beg you..."
Lu Fan pretended to ponder for a moment, then hesitated and said:
"Or how about we talk about it after you take the equipment back? See if there's anything amiss?"
"If the Wang family can even guard against and plot against Sun Dehu, is it possible that you haven't passed their probation period yet?"
"Do you have any people from the Wang family watching you?" Lu Fan's question genuinely surprised President Li.
"Something's not right? Something feels off..."
Upon hearing Mr. Li's tone, Lu Fan immediately sensed something was wrong!
He knows Mr. Li all too well.
Judging from Mr. Li's attempt to please both sides in dealing with Sun Dehu, this guy still doesn't learn his lesson!
Lu Fan scoffed inwardly; his conversation with President Li was still mostly about his concerns.
"I think you'd better take this opportunity to thoroughly investigate the people around you, lest they be used as a springboard to surrender to the Wang family by some unscrupulous individuals."
This is Lu Fan's true purpose.
"People die for wealth, birds die for food"—Mr. Li has truly lived up to this saying.
Mr. Li finally had a definite job to do, so he no longer had to worry and overthink things. He quickly and repeatedly agreed.
"Okay, I understand, Mr. Lu. I will definitely screen all my staff."
"I know you have capable people there, otherwise I could provide a list of some suspicious individuals and ask you to help screen them?"
Lu Fan smiled, but his words carried a sigh:
"Alright, I won't abandon you. I'll wait for the list on your end."
Mr. Li had no idea he was being sold out; he was still counting the money for the seller. He was so happy, it felt like he had escaped a terrible accident. He thanked the seller repeatedly before hanging up the phone.
This time, Lu Fan's call with President Li lasted quite a while, but President Li didn't care about that anymore.
He lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and muttered, "Has someone close to me really been tainted by the Wang family? Who could it be..."
Mr. Li naturally couldn't understand this matter. He thought about everyone around him, from men to women, over and over again.
Even his assistant who appeared by his side the day before, Tony who did his makeup and styling the next day, and his driver became suspicious.
The more you doubt, the more risk you take.
Mr. Li was almost driven crazy. He finally decided that he really couldn't do this. He would only feel at ease after handing the list over to Lu Fan for screening.
Even if a fleeting suspicion crossed his mind, making him wonder if Lu Fan might take this opportunity to plant spies around him, he couldn't care less.
Anyway, he was surrounded by enemies, but at least Lu Fan was still willing to protect him and trust him, and there was still the carrot of getting a job at Jiang's Group dangling in front of him.
Mr. Li stubbed out his cigarette, stomped on it hard, and completely chose to believe Lu Fan.
Lu Fan managed to deal with President Li, this troublesome element.
He then returned to the company to handle business matters.
But the silence here was quickly broken again. A phone call came into Lu Fan's phone:
"What? Wang Ye is ruined? What happened?"
