At the same time, the Lu family.
In a dark room, Lu Heng hung up the phone but didn't immediately leave.
Instead, his fingertips slowly tapped the table, as if he were deep in thought.
A few minutes later, he suddenly looked up and called out, "Night Four."
Immediately, a figure, as silent as a ghost, emerged from the corner close to the wall, knelt on one knee before Lu Heng, and respectfully said, "Master."
Lu Heng remained still, but the speed at which he tapped his fingers increased, as did his speech. He said, "Instruct our people at the Fu family to keep a close eye on Fu Jingheng. The moment he leaves the Fu family compound, make your move!"
Should we take action?
Ye Si suddenly looked up at him.
Lu Heng's usually upright and dignified face was now filled with coldness and solemnity.
Meeting Ye Si's gaze, he nodded slightly and said, "It's the one you're thinking of—making a move."
His gaze was deep and intense, tinged with excitement, as he said, "Nine years. I've been planning for nine years, waiting for nine years. It's been long enough. It's time to close the net."
Whether speaking to himself or to Ye Si, Lu Heng's voice carried an obvious sense of pleasure—the pleasure of having met his match, of everything unfolding as he had predicted. He continued, "I knew my plans wouldn't escape his notice, and sure enough, he guessed it..."
Ye Si had already lowered his head, but upon hearing this, he couldn't help but raise it again and ask, "What do you mean?"
Lu Heng nodded and patiently answered him, "Jiang Ruojin is lying to me. In fact, he has already been discovered. It must be that person who used some means to force him to make this call."
His gaze deepened, yet he still smiled, and said, "He's trying to trap me like a turtle in a jar."
"In that case, let's see who's the jar and who's the turtle..."
As Lu Heng spoke, he slowly stood up from his seat and said again, "Go."
Ye Si bowed his head in agreement and immediately withdrew.

Like Lu Heng, Fu Jingheng did not leave the Fu family immediately.
Following the three Master Fus, more than ten shadow guards rushed out from all sides of Master Fu's courtyard and placed the people inside under their supervision.
They didn't actually lift a finger; instead, they stood like gatekeepers at each exit, preventing people from the outside from coming in and those inside from leaving.
If everyone behaves themselves, that's fine. But if anyone tries to force their way in, they certainly won't show any mercy.
After knocking down three young members of the Fu clan who were trying to break through their defenses and rush out, and breaking the leg of one of them, the Fu clan members in the courtyard, who had been glaring angrily, instantly fell silent.
They all lowered their heads like quails, not daring to look in the direction of the shadow guards, for fear that even a glance would make them misunderstand that they had any ill intentions.
I was filled with regret!
If they had known things would develop in such a serious direction, they would never have come to the host's house to join in the fun!
As for finding bargains, we can wait until the old man dies to come over!
Unfortunately, it was too late to regret it!
In the silence, a knock suddenly came from outside the door, startling everyone who turned to look.
Of course, you can't see anything.
The door was closed, no wonder you couldn't see anything.
But that doesn't stop them from listening!
After knocking a few times without getting a response, the person outside immediately increased the force of their knocking, each knock heavier than the last.
The shadow guards frowned. They hadn't wanted to pay attention, but to their surprise, the other side became more aggressive while they remained silent.
Seeing that several minutes had passed and no one had opened the door, Su Jiu outside the door gritted her teeth and kicked out hard!
With a loud bang!
The mahogany archway opened with a thud.
The shadow guard who was closest to the enemy felt a chill and rushed forward with his weapon, only to be dodged and kicked instead.
Su Jiu cursed, "You attacked without even looking at me! Don't you recognize me?!"
The shadow guards: "..."
Alright, I don't even need to look. I can tell who it is just by hearing that familiar "old lady".
Although slightly speechless, her tense body immediately relaxed.
The shadow guard who had been kicked away put away his weapon and went to help Su Jiu up, as Su Jiu had thrown him aside during their earlier fight.
They then closed the archway again.
Su Jiu patted her slightly dusty clothes, which were from traveling back and forth, and stepped inside, casually asking, "How is it inside?"
The shadow guard glanced at the people around him who were staring wide-eyed at Su Jiu, lowered his head slightly, and said, "You'll see when you go in."
Su Jiu glanced at it, but didn't ask any more questions, and continued walking inside.
It wasn't until she had crossed the crowd and was almost at the door that the stunned members of the Fu clan finally came to their senses.
Master Fu, whose youngest son had been dragged away earlier, nimbly stepped forward and blocked Su Jiu's way before she entered the room, saying, "Butler Zheng has given the order that everyone stay in the courtyard and not be allowed to enter the house until the old master wakes up. What are you doing?"
Su Jiu glanced at him, a smirk playing on her red lips, and retorted, "Do you think I'm 'all of you'?"
Before Master Fu could speak, she raised a finger and shook it lightly, saying, "I'm one of their own, understand?"
Understand?
You don't know anything!
They all share the same surname, Fu, and the same bloodline of the Fu family. How could she, a woman with a different surname, compare to them?!
Su Jiu was fed up with these self-righteous members of the Fu family who couldn't see their place. She was too busy to deal with them before, but now...
Su Jiu nodded to the shadow guard beside him, pointed to the person in his hand, and said, "Take him inside."
And what about you?
The shadow guard instinctively wanted to ask, but when he saw the familiar curve of the woman's lips, he couldn't help but shiver.
Without asking any questions or looking any further, she grabbed the man in her hand and rushed into the house.
The door slammed shut, and outside, the woman's infuriatingly sarcastic voice followed, accompanied by occasional banging sounds.
The shadow guard shuddered and silently mourned for the Fu family for three seconds.
Fu Jingyuan had already heard Su Jiu's voice, but aside from the fact that no one could beat her with her mouth and skills, there were still more than a dozen shadow guards outside.
It's perfectly safe.
Therefore, I am not worried at all.
He turned his head and looked curiously at the people who had been brought in by the shadow guards.
I'm curious what Su Jiu has been doing all this time since she left.
When she saw the man's face clearly, she was stunned.
Subconsciously, he looked towards Bianzhen on the other side.
— Two faces that are almost identical.
Without a doubt, the man Su Jiu brought back was the switched-up Bian Su.
