The woman was extremely agitated and spoke incoherently, so Sun Lifang had no choice but to look at the mission briefing.
The employer's name is Lu Hua. She and her husband started from scratch and have connections in both the legitimate and criminal worlds. They are a rare couple who have maintained a harmonious relationship all along.
Lu Hua: "Our family is harmonious, and our children are obedient and sensible. If it weren't for—"
The woman lost control of her emotions, broke down in tears, and seemed a bit neurotic, rambling on about the good old days.
Sun Lifang: "Please clear your mind first. Is there anything I can help you with? I will do my best, okay?"
The woman sniffled, her voice trembling with tears, but she had calmed down considerably: "Please tell Lu Hua from the past that on the morning of July 25th, he must not go to the bank alone."
After writing it down, Sun Lifang asked the question that had been bothering her: "How do you know my name?"
Moreover, the name Lu Hua sounded familiar; she felt like she had heard it somewhere before.
Lu Hua: "I'm Sister Hua. We've met before. I even helped your daughter get a referral."
Sister Hua? A cop?
Oh! A figure vaguely appeared in her mind, but Sun Lifang couldn't be sure. She had been in the hospital for a long time and had little contact with the outside world.
That person was from a completely different world than her. She was one of the most influential people in her circle. In her past life, many people asked her for favors. If others couldn't handle something, she could get it done with a wave of her hand as long as the relationship was right.
It's strange, though. She was such a prominent figure back then, but then she gradually disappeared from the public eye.
Sun Lifang arrived at the restaurant with the message from Lu Hua, and the driver led them into a private room.
When they arrived at the restaurant, Zhou Dahai was unwilling to go inside.
Who doesn't know about his "favoritism"? People might not say it to his face, but who knows what they're saying about him behind his back? Just thinking about that embarrassing scene makes him shudder.
"I'll eat a bowl of noodles outside and wait for you."
Despite Sun Lifang's advice, Zhou Dahai insisted on staying at the door, and Sun Lifang gave up.
As soon as she entered, people surrounded her, chatting about how good-looking the children were and other polite things. They exchanged a few flattering words, and someone called her sister-in-law and pulled out a chair for her and arranged a seat for her.
"Have something to eat first." Zhou Yunshi picked out a bowl of food for her, and amidst the cheers of the crowd, Sun Lifang lowered her head shyly at the right moment.
Men, women, and children sat separately. Sun Lifang watched her daughter, who seemed to want to go but kept turning back, pretending not to care. She called to her, "Go play for a while. I'll call you if you need anything."
Zhou Xinya then turned to that table. Sun Lifang had observed the children at that table and thought to herself, "I can't let myself be bullied by younger siblings, can I?"
After looking around, Sun Lifang still couldn't find the legendary "Lu Hua".
Big Sister, I was just about to send a message.
But then a woman's hearty laughter came from the doorway. Before anyone could see her, her voice preceded her appearance. "Oh, everyone's here!"
The woman who arrived was wearing a light-colored, custom-made, modified cheongsam, and had a graceful figure.
Her hair was styled in a net-like updo, adorned with pearl net hair clips that were popular at the time—delicate, elegant, and appropriate.
Lu Hua was very good at talking, and the way she interacted with everyone made it seem like they had known each other for a long time. She greeted everyone warmly, even Sun Lifang—
"Look, whose beauty is this?" Lu Hua teased Zhou Yunshi with a smile. "No wonder President Zhou has been keeping her hidden away."
With just a few words, she built up the atmosphere to a climax. Her graceful and confident demeanor made it impossible for Sun Lifang to connect with the neurotic woman she was supposed to be in the mission.
Based on the description of Lu Hua, Sun Lifang deduced the true purpose of the mission.
Lu Hua only told her to stop going to the bank alone, without specifying any details.
She could only try to figure it out herself. After some deduction, Sun Lifang still couldn't understand it.
What are you going to the bank for? It must be related to transactions, so money must be involved in the event.
Yes! Money!
It's all about money!
Given Lu Hua's current net worth, it can only be others who borrow money from her. So, who exactly is borrowing money from her?
Why would lending money lead to such a tragedy?
Sun Lifang dared to assert that it wasn't that simple.
Lu Hua stood up to offer a toast. Of course, she wouldn't stay at the women's table; she would leave after finishing her drink.
Sun Lifang quickly stood up and grabbed her, saying, "Wait."
Lu Hua paused for a moment, then, seeing it was her, smiled and politely asked, "What's wrong?"
Sun Lifang was also dumbfounded. She had been so focused on her speculation that she had forgotten how she had approached Lu Hua and gained his trust.
What did she say?
You can't just tell Lu Hua directly, "Don't go to the bank to transfer money to strangers, they're not relatives or friends, they'll think you're crazy," can you?
In a moment of desperation, Sun Lifang blurted out, "I want to tell your fortune."
"What?" Lu Hua exclaimed loudly, attracting the attention of many people around.
Sun Lifang calmly replied, "I can tell you don't look well; I have a feeling something bad is about to happen."
"Oh?" Lu Hua became interested. "Then tell me about it, I'll listen."
This is the worst thing to do in business. Everyone around her listened attentively, and even Zhou Yunshi narrowed his eyes and sized her up.
The woman stood gracefully among the group, radiating confidence.
"First, has your business been particularly good lately? Are you having a continuous flow of wealth?"
Sun Lifang did some quick calculations and pointed out with an air of authority, "Especially this year."
Lu Hua nodded, not surprised by Sun Lifang's words; they were true.
There were boos from those around, "What? I can calculate this?"
Just as Sun Lifang was about to explain to the man, Zhou Yunshi gave him a faint look, and the man immediately shut up.
She continued, "Secondly, someone will ask you for money this year, right?"
Lu Hua hummed in response and gave a perfunctory smile.
In her view, it was common for people to ask her for money.
