"Is he the partner that Young Master Gu mentioned?"
"He's not that old, what makes him so capable that Gu Huainan would hand over the opportunity to start his own business to him?"
"That tracksuit must be cheap stuff from a street vendor!"
"He's good-looking, but I can't see anything special about him..."
Hearing the surrounding chatter, Lu Han slowly turned around.
The moment he saw Lu Yi walking towards him with a smile, his blood seemed to rush through his veins, causing his eyes to bulge out.
The veins on the back of his hand bulged, startling the waiter who was picking up shards of glass from the ground.
"Young Master Lu, are you hurt? Should we go to the infirmary?"
Lu Han shook her head blankly.
Seeing this, the waiter quickly moved away from him.
"Hey! Why are you so late? I've been waiting so long, the flowers are practically withering!"
Gu Huainan put down the microphone, walked over and hooked his arm around Lu Yi's shoulder, completely ignoring the questioning and puzzled looks from others.
Lu Yi nodded slightly, "Sorry, I encountered some trouble on the way..."
Gu Huainan said warmly, "What trouble? If you encounter trouble in Jiangzhou, just come to me. You don't need to personally take care of things, Brother Yi!"
Lu Yi didn't explain, but as he passed Lu Han, he slowed down and looked at Gu Huainan intently.
“Assisting the police in solving cases is our responsibility. I can’t just stand by and watch the suspect walk right past me without doing anything!”
Suspect?
He said... suspect!
Did Pang Hai also get caught in the crossfire?
Lu Han felt an unbearable itch on her back, as if countless ants were biting and crawling around.
Soon, fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead.
He carefully selected a wig and covered his head, scratching it restlessly, but still felt unsatisfied.
Just as he was about to ease the tension, he saw Li Mengmeng staring at Lu Yi with a look of surprise, which increased his fear even more.
"Good! I saw long ago that Brother Yi's vision is extraordinary. Look, he's putting aside his own projects to rid the people of this scourge. Everyone here, where's the applause?"
Gu Huainan's goodwill towards Lu Yi was based on his agile and powerful fists!
Of course, that's not all now!
The fundamental reason he strongly supported Lu Yi is that the bond of shared interests is the only truly solid relationship in the world.
Making money is everything! Who doesn't want money?
Those who had just looked down on Lu Yi secretly moved aside.
Nobody wants to be targeted by Gu Huainan in this situation.
His sharp tongue, which never hesitates to criticize, has many more words even harsher than the ones he used to say to Lu Han!
Gu Huainan was eager to show off his "good eye" and had someone prepare a half-hour-long PowerPoint presentation. He was now planning to have Lu Yi give a speech based on the content.
But Lu Yi pulled out a USB drive and gestured for him to switch it on.
In his heart, he cursed, "Is this Young Master Gu out of his mind? How dare he leak something that's barely even started?"
Fortunately, he was prepared!
"That's exactly what I like, Brother Yi!"
Gu Huainan assumed that Lu Yi had also prepared materials for the "Cinema" project, so he handed the USB drive to the staff without thinking and replaced his own copy.
Lu Baozhi came out of the bathroom and glanced in the direction of Fan Huijun.
Just as I walked up to her, I inadvertently caught a glimpse of a figure directly in front of me and froze in shock.
"Gu Huainan's partner... is actually Lu Yi?"
"Could it be that Lu Yi wasn't deliberately provoking Han'er at the hospital entrance that day, but actually reached a cooperation agreement with Gu Huainan?"
Her delicate brows furrowed, and she suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
Fan Huijun suddenly tugged at her.
"Miss Lu, judging from your expression, you don't even know who the main character of the banquet is, do you?"
Lu Baozhi was speechless.
It wasn't that she didn't know, but rather that she never believed from the beginning that Lu Yi would enter Gu Huainan's circle.
He's so honest and not good with words, why would Gu Huainan pay any attention to him?
But the facts are right before our eyes: Gu Huainan is clearly showing Lu Yi all sorts of goodwill and indulging him.
If Lu Yi were a girl, Lu Baozhi would have no doubt that Gu Huainan would kneel down on one knee and propose to her the very next second.
Fan Huijun glanced at Lu Han, who stood there dumbfounded in the crowd, and let out a soft snort through her delicate nose.
"Zhizhi, all the children in your Lu family are clever and resourceful. How come you don't believe that Lu Yi is where he is today?"
"The others here may not know his identity, but I do. You don't still want to convince yourself that only that younger brother deserves the Gu family's favor, do you?"
After being verbally attacked by Fan Huijun, Lu Baozhi was at a loss for words.
I took a glass of wine from the waiter, nervously took a big gulp, and choked and coughed repeatedly before realizing that the wine I had drunk was a Bloody Mary.
"Junjun, outsiders naturally can't understand my family affairs."
She wiped her mouth with a tissue, trying her best to save face.
Fan Huijun said, "In the eyes of the Lu family, Lu Yi is an outsider, right? But in our Fan family, he's already considered half a family member!"
"What!"
"What? I'm Lu Yi's god-sister! The Fan family will be holding a welcome party for him next month. Then the whole of Jiangzhou will know that my dad has adopted a godson!"
"You, your Fan family are truly...shameless!"
Lu Baozhi never expected that Fan Huijun would not only steal her business, but also her person.
How come I never realized before that such a beautiful and elegant woman was actually a shameless robber!
"Shameless? Heh, Miss Lu, when you ignored Lu Yi, why didn't you think of those two words?"
"Tsk tsk, seeing Lu Yi's modest achievements today, are you envious and want to reap the rewards?"
Fan Huijun has a sharp tongue, especially when it comes to Lu Yi; she cares about him more than her own family business.
The reason she agreed to let Gu Huaibei pick her up at home today was to try and gauge the Gu family's intentions through Gu Huaibei.
If Gu Huainan was just having fun on a whim, the Fan family would immediately step in to cover for Lu Yi.
I will never let him embarrass himself in front of so many people.
Unable to explain the purpose of her visit today, Lu Baozhi had no choice but to soften her stance.
"Jun Jun, let's find some time to have a serious talk. The Lu family has never wronged you, so there's no need for you to be so ruthless towards your second sister and the Lu Group!"
Fan Huijun had anticipated this, and raised an eyebrow, saying, "Alright! You decide on the time!"
Just then, a dramatic scene unfolded!
On the LCD screen in the center of the banquet hall, a furtive figure appeared, looking around for a while before opening the door of a car.
Most people present did not recognize the person in disguise.
But Lu Baozhi knew at a glance that it was... Lu Han!
"Lu Yi, what are you going to do?"
Lu Baozhi tried to step forward and stop Lu Yi from doing it.
Fan Huijun reacted quickly, pulling her to her side and holding her tightly.
"What's the big deal? It's just dashcam footage from a day ago... Hey, Zhizhi, that car looks a lot like the one that had the accident!"
In fact, Fan Huijun was unaware of Lu Yi's plans beforehand.
Little did they know that the culprit behind the car accident was among this group of people.
She simply didn't want Lu Yi to be interrupted.
