Sitting in the hall, Lu Guanting saw his sister walk in and said with a stern face, "Didn't I tell you not to come here anymore? Why are you here again?"
Lu said somewhat hurriedly, "Brother, things have become very complicated, and I have no choice but to come and tell you in person."
Upon hearing this, Lowell Lo frowned and asked, "What exactly happened?"
Madam Lu said, "Asheng interrogated those people who came back from City C, and they told the truth. Their operation even dragged Huo Xicheng, the eldest son of the Huo family in Kyoto, into it."
Lu Guanting was surprised and asked with wide eyes, "How did the Huo family get involved?"
With red eyes, Madam Lu said, "It turns out that Huo Xicheng saw Yi Chuan and his gang kidnapping He Yuhan. Huo Xicheng then chased them all the way up the mountain and rescued He Yuhan."
Seeing the situation was turning against them, Yi Chuan and his men decided to capture them, and a firefight ensued. Several of our men were injured, and the enemy also wounded Huo Xicheng and He Yuhan, forcing them to the edge of a cliff. In the end, He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng both jumped off the cliff.
Upon hearing this, Lu Guanting slammed his fist on the table, stood up, and shouted, "Useless! Idiots! All of you are useless, idiots! You can't even handle this simple matter; what kind of future do you have?"
Now things are really messed up. Not only did we fail to catch He Yuhan, we've also angered the Huo family. If Huo Xicheng and He Yuhan are dead, it's fine if Han Xiao and the Huo family don't know we were behind it. But if the Huo family finds out the truth, do you think they'll let it go?
This Han Yichuan is utterly incompetent and more likely to cause trouble than anything else.
Madam Lu said, "I also felt that this matter had become very tricky, so I came to tell you in person. As long as He Yuhan and Huo Xicheng are dead, there will be no way to verify the facts. Even if they arrest Han Yichuan, we can simply deny everything."
The worst-case scenario is that Huo Xicheng or He Yuhan are not dead; that would be a real problem.
I was thinking of asking my older brother if we have any influence in City C, and sending someone to inquire about the Han family, to see if there's any news about Huo Xicheng and He Yuhan.”
Lu Guanting snorted angrily and said, "It would be better if they were dead. If they weren't, you'd be in for a world of trouble. I'll send someone to find out about the Han family."
Remember, never come here again. Even if Han Sheng and his group are exposed, we cannot be exposed. Remember your mission.
Madam Lu lowered her head and said, "I never dare to forget my mission. Don't worry, Ah Sheng and the others don't know who's behind me, and I will never reveal your identity."
But what if Yichuan is really exposed, and Han Xiao and his men capture him?
Lu Guanting said, "Then let's push Han Yichuan out to take the blame first, and let Han Sheng go to apologize. Let's put all the blame on Han Yichuan. Anyway, he can't escape punishment in the end, so it's better for them to take all the blame together."
Lu said, "But Han Xiao might not believe it."
Lu Guanting said, "If they don't believe it, they don't believe it, but they can't do anything openly. Let Han Sheng insist that it was Han Yichuan's own doing, and let Han Sheng personally go to apologize. Even if Han Xiao is angry, he can only scold Han Sheng at most, and he won't take any other actions openly."
This will give us time to plan. In any case, I can't be exposed here.
Lu said worriedly, "If Han Yichuan and his men are arrested, the guns they have are very likely to fall into the hands of Han Xiao and his men, and they will definitely investigate the source of these guns."
Lu Guanting realized this was indeed a thorny issue; possessing firearms and ammunition was illegal. Those guns alone would be enough to give Han Sheng's family a run for their money.
Lu Guanting said, "If those guns really fall into Han Xiao's hands, then Han Sheng will be in big trouble. This is a terrible crime."
Madam Lu was also very anxious, hoping that Han Yichuan and the others had disposed of the guns and that they hadn't fallen into the hands of Han Xiao and his group, otherwise their second branch of the family would be in real trouble.
Mrs. Lu left with a feeling of fear and unease, hoping that things wouldn't turn out the worst.
After Mrs. Lu left, Lu Guanting paced back and forth in the room, pondering what to do next.
He had a premonition that Han Sheng's family was probably doomed, and if all else failed, he would have no choice but to abandon them as pawns.
Lo Kwun-ting wrote a letter and asked his wife to give it to the saleswoman at the fabric counter in the department store the next day.
The Lu family's actions were thoroughly investigated by their surveillance team. Lu Guanting's identity was also uncovered.
Because much of the information was very important, the people in the south specially sent someone to deliver the information they had found to Han Xiao in City C.
When Han Xiao received the information, he was so shocked when he saw Lu Guanting's photo that he stood up abruptly. Although the person in the photo had aged considerably, he recognized him at a glance. He never expected that the person they had been searching for for so long, the person they thought was dead, would reappear at this moment.
Han Xiao reviewed all the information. After reviewing it, he ordered the person who delivered the information to return to the south immediately. He also dispatched additional personnel to the south to focus on investigating Lu Guanting and all the people and things related to him.
When Han Yi got home that evening, he didn't even finish dinner before calling everyone to his study and having them pass around the documents.
After reviewing the information, He Chenglin said, "It seems that it was the right decision to have people keep an eye on Madam Lu. We have indeed found a lot of clues from her."
Han Yixian said, "The person that the Lu family secretly met was named Lu Guanting. Since the Lu family shares the same surname, it seems they are very likely related. We need to investigate the Lu family thoroughly."
Han Xiao said, "Actually, I've known this Lowell Lo before."
He Chenglin asked in surprise, "You knew him before?"
Han Xiao nodded and said, "If it weren't for these photos, I wouldn't have known. But looking at these photos, even though the people in the photos have changed a lot from the ones I knew, I still recognized him at a glance."
This person's real name isn't Lu Guanting at all; his original name was Lü Guanying. He was a spy for a secret organization, and we suffered huge losses because of this organization. This Lü Guanying was a key member and leader of them.
Later, we intensified our investigation into this organization, determined to dismantle this scourge. Ultimately, we nearly destroyed the organization, but some members remained at large, including Lü Guanying.
We all thought he was dead, but we never expected that he was still alive, and not only alive, but also secretly causing trouble.
Based on the information, they definitely have other members; we must capture them all this time.
He Chenglin's eyes lit up as he said, "This is a big fish! So, does that mean the weapons Han Yichuan and his men were using were likely supplied by them?"
Han Xiao nodded and said, "I think so."
