When Lu Yi received Lao Ma's call, he couldn't help but smile slightly after listening to it.
"Uncle Ma, thank you for your hard work!"
Old Ma snorted.
"You can still laugh? That guy is waiting for backup. It's probably not going to be any time before they find anything out."
Fan Huijun raised her glass from a distance and made a face at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi responded briefly and took a small sip of red wine.
“Uncle Ma, it doesn’t matter if he doesn’t talk. Someone can force him to talk. Lin Xiaoya was the one who was kidnapped. Why don’t you contact her?”
"Fine, I'll bring her to see you tomorrow, and we can visit you while we're at it."
As soon as the news is released that Lin Xiaoya went to the police station to identify the kidnapper, Lu Han can't help but be nervous.
When I'm nervous, I tend to act impulsively.
In the heat of the moment, one will inevitably lose their rationality.
I'm not worried about him not confessing; I'm just worried he'll chicken out and stay home, too scared to go out.
Old Ma said earnestly, "I thought of that a long time ago... You're about to start school, shouldn't you get back into the swing of things?"
At that moment, he was like an old father giving instructions to his child.
Lu Yi's brow twitched, and he put down his wine glass. "Uncle Ma, I've arranged the shifts at the shop, so it won't interfere with my studies."
Old Ma was very pleased to hear that he was on the road like this.
"That's good. Students should do what students are supposed to do. Don't be like that Lu Han, who wasted her energy on things she shouldn't have!"
"I'll say it again: don't have too high expectations. Even if you find out the truth, his punishment won't be too severe..."
Lu Gensheng's death was a thorn stuck in Lu Yi's heart.
If the deep-seated hatred is not avenged, this thorn will only grow deeper and deeper.
Old Ma didn't know what kind of perseverance Lu Yi relied on to get through this most difficult period.
But seeing him make new strides in his career, I feel inexplicably sorry for him.
Most children like him grow up under their parents' wings.
Despite having powerful biological parents, Lu Yi had no choice but to support himself.
Lu Yi laughed heartily a few times.
"Uncle Ma, I know all that. I was worried you might be under some kind of pressure. As long as the legal procedures are followed, I can accept it."
"In a few days it will be the 49th day after my uncle's death. After that, I want to go to Fengcheng for a few days."
He naturally regarded Lao Ma as his elder.
I felt it was necessary to tell him.
"Okay, it's good to go out for a walk. Fengcheng is more lively than Jiangzhou, and there are more delicious local specialties..."
Old Ma is relieved that Lu Yi can live a serious life.
People with desires are less likely to do foolish things out of desperation.
The two chatted for a while longer before hanging up the phone amidst Lao Ma's repeated reminders and instructions.
...
Fan Huijun ordered two steaks.
Seeing Lu Yi sit down again, he quickly refilled Lu Yi's wine glass.
"Old Ma is a good man, but such people often do not seek fame or fortune, so most of them can only stay at the grassroots level and work hard all their lives."
Lu Yi remained noncommittal.
Reality is cruel, but we must not lose our true selves because of it.
Seeing that he didn't respond, Fan Huijun changed the subject.
"You'll be very busy this coming year, with studies and business to manage. Will you be able to keep up?"
Lu Yi placed one hand on the edge of the table, pondered for a moment, and nodded.
"There's nothing to be busy with. I don't have a family life, so I'm spared a lot of trouble."
"When I'm not studying, I just look after the shop to relax... By the way, what did you say happened to the Lu family's business?"
Fan Huijun has a high alcohol tolerance, but she drank a bit too much tonight because she was happy.
His face was flushed, and he was half-lying on the table.
"I haven't had anyone investigate yet; it's just a guess."
"Did you know that when Lu Baofei started her business, she disdained to cooperate with the Lu Group?"
"The persona she cultivated was that of a self-made woman, which is why she gained the reputation of being an iron lady and a strong woman."
"But recently she's been venturing into the medical device industry with venture capital from the Lu Group, which I think means her own business has hit a bottleneck."
Lu Yi frowned, carefully pondering Fan Huijun's words.
In the past six months, the international situation has fluctuated greatly, and industries in many unstable regions have suffered heavy blows.
In some cities, manufacturing has almost come to a standstill.
Lu Baofei Company relies on exports for 80% of its business...
Fan Huijun's guess was not unfounded.
"In your opinion, how long can the Lu family last in your industry?"
Lu Yi's slender fingers caressed the rim of the wine glass, his eyes as deep as the sea.
At this moment, the waiter brought the steak over.
Fan Huijun picked up her knife and fork, cut off a piece, and put it in her mouth.
"I'm starving. I wanted to have some alcohol to fill my stomach, but alcohol only makes me feel drunk and doesn't fill me up."
Lu Yi chuckled, "You!"
Fan Huijun looked up and was immediately drawn to his faint smile.
Lu Yi is not a rough and tough guy.
His eyes had no striking adornments, but upon closer inspection, they were as clear as the moonlight, with a cool and profound quality.
Fan Huijun murmured, "Lu Yi, I want to know what you'll do after you make a lot of money?"
Rich and handsome men are prone to going astray.
Fan Huijun certainly didn't want her adorable younger brother to turn into a dissolute person like Professor Min.
"I?"
Lu Yi cut a small piece of steak, brought it to his mouth, and looked at Fan Huijun with a half-smile.
"I want to invest in your Fan family's business to maximize the growth of our capital, and then cultivate a deep presence in the medical device industry..."
This is his short-term goal.
I haven't told anyone about it.
