"If we can't find her, then we'll force her out," Lu Jiwen said viciously.
Lu Jing did not refute his words, which can be taken as an admission.
Both father and son are top figures in the business world. With the two of them having a plan in mind, Xie Yuqiong can feel more at ease.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through her mind, "Dad, Jiwen, could the person behind this be Lu Zhengye?"
"Impossible, he's a member of the Lu family."
Xie Yuqiong bit her lip, feeling that it was highly likely that Lu Zhengye was behind it.
But after thinking about it, she decided not to say anything, fearing that Lu Jiwen and Lu Jing would think she was trying to sow discord.
She was, after all, a daughter-in-law from another family, while Lu Zhengye had the blood of the Lu family flowing through his veins.

Lu Jiwen personally led a team to investigate the author of the short story, but three days have passed and they have found no clues.
So he took a second step: he found someone to impersonate the author and release a video to clarify the situation.
The plan was feasible at first.
But later, more and more people claimed to be the authors of the short story. Some said that the story was the true story of the Lu family, while others said that it was slander or a coincidence.
As more and more people claimed to be the author, people stopped believing anyone, and Lu Jiwen's plan failed to achieve the desired results.
Of course, some of these people were arranged by Lu Zhengye, but most were just there to join in the fun and ride the wave of popularity.
Several days later, the matter escalated.
K Country Film Emperor Gu Yanting posted a Weibo: My aunt's name is Gu Wanxing. She disappeared more than 20 years ago and has not been found to this day. If the short story is true, I hope the author will come to me. I will protect you and also hope that you will act as a witness and testify against Lu Jiwen in court on my behalf.
Gu Yanting directly named names, indicating that he already believed the story.
He leveraged his fan base to generate unprecedented buzz for the event.
Even though someone discovered Gu Wanxing's identity as a citizen of K country, it didn't generate much buzz because netizens in A country knew very little about K country.
But when Gu Yanting spoke up, the matter became believable.
The internet was filled with criticism, and Lu's stock price plummeted to an unprecedented level.
[The Lu family hasn't come out to explain at a time like this; could it be that they're feeling guilty?]
Is it even necessary to say it's true? So much solid evidence has been presented; I don't believe there are so many coincidences in this world.
[I really hope it's not true. Gu Yingdi's aunt is also a princess of the Gu family. Lu Jiwen, that beast, truly deserves to die.]
Gu Wanxing received the highest level of education, yet she was tricked into becoming a mistress. How desperate must she have felt?
I always thought Lu Zhengye was the most aristocratic-looking member of the Lu family. It turns out he truly is a noble young master, yet he has suffered so much abuse.
If this is true, then Lu Jiwen and his wife deserve to die; they not only hurt the adults but also the child.
That's the Island of the Dead Slaves...
Support Lu Zhengye's revenge; kill off the entire Lu family.
+1
...
Netizens angrily cursed the entire Lu family and stood up for Lu Zhengye, demanding an explanation from them.
TL Group President's Office.
Wei Qing was watching the comments and hacked several accounts that were speaking up for the Lu family.
Lu Zhengye, on the other hand, rested his chin on his hand and stared blankly out the window.
After a while, he asked, "How is it?"
"The news has already been released. It should only take Lu Jiwen two hours to find TL," Wei Qing said.
Lu Zhengye chuckled, but there was no hint of amusement in his eyes. He muttered to himself, "Then I'll wait for him here."
After Wei Qing left.
Lu Zhengye chuckled, but his eyes were bloodshot.
"Mom, I've finally waited for this day. I'll be able to avenge you soon."
...
In his frantic state, Lu Jiwen finally followed Gu Yanting's lead and found TL.
When he learned the result, his eyelids twitched.
As is well known, TL and Lu's have a collaboration.
If TL was also involved in this, it means they premeditated it from the beginning.
From that early hour, Lu Jiwen broke out in a cold sweat.
He took out his phone and called Lu Jing, telling him what he had found out.
Lu Jing remained silent for a while before saying, "When you go to TL, be mentally prepared. No matter who you see, stay calm."
"Dad, you mean... you don't also think that A-Ye is the one behind it all?"
“I hope not, but when we took Gu Wanxing and him away, he was already old enough to remember things.”
Lu Jiwen was puzzled. "Then why did you ask me to hand over the family business to him in the first place? If I hadn't, the entire Lu City would still be wary of our Lu family and of me. Now that he holds the reins of the Lu Group, if he were to oppose me, those old foxes would definitely side with him."
"I just wanted to take a gamble, to gamble on whether power, money, love, and attention could make him turn back. He is a once-in-a-century genius in the business world. He can lead our Lu family to a more glorious future. I don't want to give up on him like this."
Lu Jing still held out hope, "Besides, the idea that TL's president is related to A Ye is just my guess."
Lu Jiwen bent over.
Lu Jing is also a rare business genius in the Lu family. The Lu family's ability to stand above other families in Lucheng is entirely due to Lu Jing's hard work when he was young.
His lifelong goal was singular: to see the Lu family prosper and become the world's number one family.
Unfortunately, Lu Jiwen lacked business acumen, causing the Lu family to stagnate under his leadership.
But Lu Zhengye is the successor that Lu Jing has chosen.
Lu Jiwen said with a weary expression, "I'll go meet the people behind TL later."
"Go."
...
Regarding TL's president, there are rumors that he is in poor health, has difficulty walking, and has almost never appeared in front of the media.
When Lu Jiwen called to arrange the meeting, he expected to be rejected, but to his surprise, the other party seemed to have already guessed what he was thinking and asked him to go to the president's office of TL to talk.
This proves that TL was indeed behind this.
With a dark expression, Lu Jiwen took out a pistol from a hidden drawer in his office, loaded it with bullets, and then led a group of bodyguards to TL in a grand manner.
He's been trying to hide his whereabouts these past few days, otherwise the paparazzi and media would come running if they caught a whiff of him.
The TL Group stands in the center of Lucheng. Although its land area is not very large, its exterior design is magnificent and grand, making it look different from other buildings.
He arrived in a huff with a group of people, clearly with ill intentions.
Lu Jiwen was prepared to force his way in, but the receptionist showed no surprise or fear when she saw them like this. Instead, she led them to the 28th floor in a very courteous manner.
TL's elevator is made of glass, so Lu Jiwen can see inside TL.
