“Lu Fan is currently hospitalized. The last time he caused a scene at the police station, it was because the Nangong family, one of the four major families, helped him. As far as I know, the Nangong family will not help him anymore. But now you have the support of the Dongfang Group. What can Lu Fan do to you? If he dares to yell at you again, don’t forget that you are wearing a police uniform.”
Seeing that Sun Dahai was still dawdling, he explained Lu Fan's current state to him.
"Um, I'll go back and summon Lu Yi right now. If anything happens, I hope Elder Qu can lend a hand!"
Sun Dahai heard that the Nangong family used to help Lu Fan, but now Lu Fan no longer has any support.
With the Oriental Group backing him up, he looked at the old fox in front of him and worried that if he didn't repay this favor this time, it would be more and more difficult in the future. He made a request to Elder Qu.
"Get things done for me, and your position will be more secure."
Seeing that Sun Dahai had finally agreed, Old Qu nodded in satisfaction.
After listening to Old Qu's assurance, Sun Dahai nodded, as if he had something on his mind, and turned to leave the courtyard.
"Officer Sun, please!"
Zhang Xinlei, who was waiting at the door, could tell from Sun Dahai's expression that he had agreed. She quickly walked to the car, opened the door, and gestured for Sun Dahai to enter.
"snort!"
Seeing Zhang Xinlei's smug expression, Sun Dahai said nothing, snorted, and got into the car.
Zhang Xinlei wasn't angry. After closing the car door, the car left the funeral home.
After Zhang Xinlei saw the car drive away, the injured bodyguards at the door were all taken to the hospital.
"You all stay here and guard the door."
After giving some instructions to the uninjured people, he went into the courtyard.
"Old Qu, has he agreed to our conditions?"
Still somewhat worried, Zhang Xinlei walked over to Old Qu's side and asked in a low voice.
"It's not a condition, it's that he has to repay this favor to me. He has no choice but to do it!"
Hearing Zhang Xinlei ask him a question, Old Qu looked towards the door and spoke to Zhang Xinlei.
"Old Qu's strategy is truly remarkable. He had already laid the groundwork several years ago. What should we do next?"
Looking at the elderly Mr. Qu, whose temples were already gray, Zhang Xinlei felt a deep sense of admiration.
I had already thought of this a few years ago, and then I asked Old Master Qu.
"It's getting late. Take me to see Lu Fan's wife. I want to see what kind of person could make Lu Fan so desperate that he'd risk his life to save her."
Old Qu looked at the sky and saw that it was getting dark. He remembered that Jiang Manyue was still in his hands. He had captured her but had not seen her yet. He wanted to see someone who could make Lu Fan risk his life.
"Well, Elder Qu, we'd better not go. If the Jiang Group finds our Guanjiang Manyue location, that would be terrible."
Upon hearing that Elder Qu was going to see Jiang Manyue, Zhang Xinlei's expression became somewhat unnatural.
After all, Jiang Manyue is currently in their hands, and if she leaves without anyone, everything will be in trouble.
If this matter had been revealed beforehand, Old Master Qu, who was eager for revenge, would have been unable to accept the fact that his only bargaining chip was gone.
Therefore, Zhang Xinlei planned to tell Mr. Qu about this on the fourth day.
Four days later, Old Master Qu could accept the fact that his son had died. If he told him then, nothing would happen.
Why are you so nervous? Is something wrong over there?
Old Qu noticed that Zhang Xinlei was acting strangely; she didn't usually talk like this. He sensed that Zhang Xinlei was hiding something from him. Remembering what he had just said, he asked Zhang Xinlei in a panic.
"This, this one."
Zhang Xinlei, who originally wanted to keep this a secret, did not expect that Old Qu would find out. She did not dare to look up at Old Qu and lowered her head dejectedly, saying in a low voice.
Zhang Xinlei looked like a child who had done something wrong, too afraid to speak in front of her parents.
"Tell me! When have I ever blamed you?"
Looking at Zhang Xinlei now, it's clear that Old Qu has always treated her like his own daughter.
Seeing her reaction, he knew something must have happened over there, and angrily said to Zhang Xinlei.
This was also the first time that Mr. Qu had lost his temper with Zhang Xinlei, and it wasn't because she had messed things up.
It wasn't that something happened and wasn't reported to him that triggered Qu Lao's outburst.
“Old Qu, didn’t you ask me to call him and have Shangqiu send the person to our port? But when I called Shangqiu, a stranger answered. They demanded that we agree to their conditions, or else they would return Jiang Manyue to Lu Fan.”
Seeing that Old Master Qu had already lost his temper, Zhang Xinlei could no longer hide the matter and could only tell Old Master Qu about the phone call.
"What do they want us to agree to, neighbor?"
After hearing the story, Old Qu was surprised to find that the person hadn't gone back. He then asked Zhang Xinlei.
As long as the person hasn't returned to Lu Fan's hands, they still have a chance.
After all, Lu Fan didn't know that the person wasn't in their hands.
"They want us to..."
Zhang Xinlei recounted the conditions proposed on the phone to Mr. Qu.
"I never expected them to be so ambitious! They really don't take us seriously! Have you agreed?"
After hearing the other party's conditions, Old Qu angrily asked Zhang Xinlei.
“I didn’t agree. I told them that this matter was too big and I needed their approval. They told me to call the phone number in Shangqiu after I had thought it through.”
Upon hearing Mr. Qu's question, Zhang Xinlei quickly shook her head and answered him.
"Let's put this matter aside for now, and have the funeral home send the ashes to the villa's ancestral hall later."
Mr. Qu was quite satisfied with Zhang Xinlei's approach.
Looking back at the room where the sheet music and the body were kept, he instructed Zhang Xinlei beside him.
The Qu family tradition is that all the dead should be sent to the ancestral hall, and they don't want to hold any ceremonies; they just want things to be as simple as possible.
"Understood. Go and keep watch here as Elder Qu instructed. After the cremation, take him directly back to the villa. Don't make any mistakes, or you'll be in big trouble!"
After listening, Zhang Xinlei turned to one of her trusted confidants and gave him an instruction.
He didn't forget to give a few more instructions, saying that these were the ashes of Old Master Qu's son, and if they weren't handled properly, everything would be over.
"We will definitely get it done!"
The person who was given the order didn't expect Zhang Xinlei to entrust this matter to him. He glanced at Old Qu beside him, swallowed nervously, and assured Old Qu and Zhang Xinlei.
