"Wan'er, long time no see."

"How have you been lately?"

Nalan Wan'er on the other end of the phone immediately looked pitiful and started crying.

"Master, you don't care about me. You didn't even call me for such a long time."

"I'm usually bored. There's no one to play with."

Chen Fan smiled bitterly: "I'm too busy with company matters. Sorry."

"Master, it's summer vacation now. It's boring to stay at home alone. My family has even put me on house arrest and forbids me to go out and play."

"Master, how about I sneak away and go to Yunhai to play with you?"

Chen Fan said quickly: "Not right now. I have to go to Europe soon."

"Humph! None of you care at all."

Chen Fan asked with a smile: "Where are your parents? Is there no one at home to accompany you?"

"They are so busy every day that they don't go home. Apart from the babysitter, there is no one to accompany them at home."

Chen Fan asked with a smile: "They are also for your safety."

"Humph. No, they're just afraid that you'll cause trouble."

Chen Fan quickly changed the subject: "Wan'er, remember to go to high school soon."

"Yeah. There's still one last year."

"Your parents probably hope that you can study hard and try to get into a good high school."

“They don’t care how well you study.”

"Haha, let's do this. When you get good grades in the exam, I'll invite you to visit Yunhai."

"You can sing with the band, or go to the crew to watch the filming. How about that?"

"real?"

Nalan Wan'er immediately started shouting excitedly, obviously aroused.

"Of course it's true. When have I ever lied to you?"

"Master, are you looking for me for something?"

This girl was very smart. After chatting for a while, she got back to the point and guessed that Chen Fan's sudden call must be about something.

Chen Fan smiled jokingly, "Indeed, there is something I would like to trouble you with."

"I don't really know anyone in the capital. You are my only connection."

These words made Nalan Wan'er very happy.

"Just tell me what's going on. If I can help you, I will."

"I want you to help me check on a few people."

Chen Fan told Wu Mingzhao, Cai Youhua and Li Mo about Vito Holdings.

"I want you to check them out for me. Find out what their backgrounds are and what their families do."

Nalan Wan'er agreed immediately.

"No problem. These are all private matters. We can find out by making a phone call when the time comes."

"Master, I've heard of Wu Mingzhao among the people you mentioned. He is from the Wu family and is Wu Xukun's cousin. I've even met him once before."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "Can you tell me about the Wu family?"

"The Wu family is considered an old and wealthy family in Beijing. The old man of the Wu family once climbed to a central position, but with the departure of the old man, the influence of the Wu family began to gradually decline."

"Although the Wu family now has a bunch of direct line members serving as officials or doing business... it looks very glamorous, but it is far from what it was when the old man was here."

"And a family like theirs is not considered to be particularly outstanding in the entire Kyoto."

"The capital is a place for officials, but none of the Wu family's children are cut out to be officials. The oldest official seems to have only been promoted to the vice-provincial level."

Chen Fan nodded slightly, and summed it up in one sentence: A skinny camel is better than a horse. Although the Wu family is in decline, it still has influence. Even in the capital, it is a force that cannot be ignored.

The main reason why Wan'er looked down on them was that her family background was too strong. In the eyes of any ordinary person, the Wu family's strength was beyond compare.

"I'm not familiar with the other people, so I might need to investigate."

"Master, why are you investigating them? Do these people have a grudge against you?"

Chen Fan smiled and said, "We are business rivals. I want to know myself and my enemy."

"I understand. I will find out for you as soon as possible."

Chen Fan smiled and said, "There's no rush. Just take your time to investigate. When you find something, you can tell me."

"Okay. No problem."

"You must remember, if I help you once, you will owe me a favor."

Chen Fan laughed: "No problem."

"It's settled then."

…

The end of the month.

Su Ruchu's long-awaited trip to Europe and wedding photography finally began.

This time, in addition to Chen Fan and Su Ruchu, there were also Wu Di and his wife, Ma Shuai and his wife, and Luo Wenjie.

However, Guo Shuai temporarily gave up this trip because he had to accompany his girlfriend.

Chen Fan chose Li as the first stop of the trip.

He wanted to take Su Ruchu to see this world-famous romantic city.

The Eiffel Tower, Notre Dame de Paris, and the Seine River... Chen Fan wanted to take Su Ruchu to see them all.

Capital city.

In a private room of a luxurious club somewhere.

Wu Mingzhao, wearing a white suit, was lying comfortably on the sofa. A girl in a cheongsam was half-kneeling on the sofa in front of him, pressing his feet gently with her slender fingers.

Wu Mingzhao had a cigar in his mouth, with an expression of enjoyment on his face.

The cell phone beside me rang. I picked it up, took a look at it, and then put it to my ear.

"Hello……"

"Yes. The latest news is that the kid went to Paris."

"Huh?" Wu Mingzhao frowned, "Why did he suddenly go abroad?"

"He wants to go abroad with his girlfriend to take wedding photos."

"Hey, this girl is quite romantic. She even went abroad to take wedding photos."

"This time, not only his girlfriend is traveling with him, but also several old friends and a photographer."

Wu Mingzhao said calmly: "Why are you telling this to me?"

"Hey, Lao Wu, don't forget that he was the one who killed your cousin."

"Although we can't get direct evidence, there is no doubt that he did it."

"The day before yesterday, this guy refused our acquisition..."

Wu Mingzhao asked impatiently: "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do? Can you get to the point directly?"

The person on the other end of the phone sneered, "Since you don't listen and don't cooperate, shouldn't you give yourself a beating?"

"He happens to be going abroad this time. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Wu Mingzhao asked, "What good ideas do you have?"

"Chen Fan and the others can't make a move yet. After all, we still have to rely on him to get the Ruofan Group in the future."

"But you can touch his wife."

"Find someone to kill his girlfriend and give this guy a warning. Do you think he will cooperate with you later?"

Wu Ming frowned and asked, "What if I make him angry?"

"He's just a small businessman. What else can he do? Can he turn the tables?"

"Have we taught a few businessmen a lesson before?"

"At first, all of them refused to obey, but after being beaten a few times, they were frightened like dogs."

Wu Mingzhao nodded: "Okay. No objection."

"But you'd better do it cleanly."

"Don't worry. We are abroad, so there won't be any evidence left."
