"Ugh, I need to go to the bathroom again!"
Fan Huijun blushed and let go of Lu Yi's hand.
"Then go quickly! I'll take you upstairs..."
Lu Yi was just looking for an excuse when he saw this and quickly helped her up, wanting to take her back and then discuss a plan with Gu Huaibei.
"No need, I can go up by myself. By the way, is Dad home?"
Fan Huijun pushed his hand away, turned her head and pointed to the car, asking Gu Huaibei to help her with her coat and bag.
After asking the question casually, she quickly and guiltily observed Lu Yi's expression.
Seeing that he seemed normal, she awkwardly laughed and said, "Where could Dad go? I was just asking. Okay, I'll go in first!"
Gu Huaibei followed for a few steps, gave the nanny who came to greet him a few words of advice, and then returned, looking back every few steps.
"You've heard about it, haven't you?"
Gu Huaibei looked surprised when he saw Lu Yi get into the car, but quickly let out a heavy sigh.
"This is a huge problem. I thought it was just targeting you... Sorry!"
He smiled bitterly, his face full of honesty.
When he heard the news of Daniel's death from his father-in-law, that was his first thought.
Anyone could imagine that if the Fan family had a son, the probability of Fan Shenglun recognizing Lu Yi as his godson was extremely low.
From any perspective, Daniel's death is inextricably linked to Lu Yi.
Even if the police can prove Lu Yi's innocence, netizens will still change their impression of Lu Yi as a gentle and upright person.
This was undoubtedly a huge disaster for Lu Yi.
A man who has built his empire through his own intelligence will likely never be able to shake off the stain of being labeled as "scheming" for the rest of his life.
Gu Huaibei didn't think about it in detail at the time.
He knew Lu Yi's character very well, and how others judged him didn't have a significant impact on him or the Gu family.
But judging from the current situation, Gu Jia's situation is actually the most dangerous.
If the Huo family doesn't value their relationship and tries to shift all the blame, Gu Huaibei will be the first person to take the fall.
Seeing him so dejected, Lu Yi was very surprised.
In my memory, Gu Huaibei is meticulous and cautious in his actions; he shouldn't be so naive.
The next second, the image of him being anxious about Fan Huijun flashed through his mind, and he immediately felt relieved.
"My brother-in-law has heavy responsibilities and is very busy. It's understandable that he didn't think of being so affectionate for a moment, but he'll be busy from now on."
Lu Yi leaned against the car window with one hand, watching the street scene rushing by.
His eyes suddenly lit up. "The key person in this case is Gao Wei, who entered the control room without permission... Quick, turn right, let's go see President Huo first!"
Gu Huaibei raised his hand and glanced at his wristwatch.
The meeting was about to begin, and he didn't want to miss the opportunity to defend himself.
Seeing a slight hesitation in his steps as he slowed down, Lu Yi explained, "That person belongs to the Huo family, and your story must be consistent with the Huo family's."
"That depends on what Mr. Huo thinks, doesn't it?"
Lu Yi's thinking was very simple.
If Huo Xiao wanted to clear himself of all trouble, gathering some evidence would be a piece of cake for him.
No matter which angle Gu Huaibei argues from, he cannot avoid mentioning "Gao Wei".
Besides his identity, there are also issues involving standardized operations and vulnerabilities in the intelligent control system—problems that cannot be explained in a few words.
Who knows how many backup plans those people have prepared?
To curb the development of the situation, the first step is to take it by surprise and unconventional means.
The Huo family is also a trendsetter standing at the forefront of the storm, and those people are probably betting that Huo Xiao will prioritize protecting the Huo family's reputation.
Upon closer analysis, Gu Huaibei's situation is far from optimistic.
It should be noted that when he strongly promoted this project, he offended many veteran figures in the Gu Group.
Lu Yi heard that some of the more hot-tempered ones had even angrily withdrawn from the "Jiangzhou Club" founded by Gu Huaibei's grandfather.
The club has such high entry requirements that it would leave ordinary people speechless, and the annual membership fees paid by each person are astronomical.
An ordinary family might not be able to save that much in a lifetime.
Leaving the club is like bravely charging into the "Eighteen Bronze Men Formation." In addition to sharing profits with the Gu family, one must also pay a huge sum called the "judgment fee."
This shows just how far these people have broken with the Gu family!
If this project fails, Gu Huaibei's position as the heir to the Gu family will be in jeopardy.
Lu Yi believed that Gu Huainan would not take advantage of someone's misfortune, but that didn't mean that Gu Huainan's "supporters" didn't think so.
Throughout history, whether in imperial courts or among wealthy merchants and powerful families, how many "puppets" have been forced to "rise to power"?
Gu Huaibei stared at his watch for a few seconds, then suddenly turned the steering wheel and made a sharp turn.
"You mean, you want the Huo family to take all the blame first?"
When Lu Yi heard that he had finally come to his senses, he said solemnly, "It's not about taking it on, but about finding a common opponent and pushing Gao Wei onto them."
"My brother has already arranged for people to investigate. As long as we find the person who has financial dealings with Gao Wei, we'll have a breakthrough!"
"We need to act quickly, or President Huo might have to go back to Fengcheng!"
Gu Huaibei frowned, patted his chest, and let out a long sigh.
"Okay! Let's do as you say!"
Seeing his reluctance, Lu Yi laughed and said, "If you're going to shift the blame, then you have to do it cool. When soldiers come, generals will meet them; when water comes, earth will dam it. Whoever acts first will be able to grasp the truth. That's how the world is!"
...
Du Guanglong's men were sent out wave after wave.
I'm so busy answering phone calls I'm exhausted.
Huo Xiao sat in a wheelchair, covered with a thin blanket, and was drowsy.
He no longer had the energy to worry about these things. He really wished he had someone by his side to be his advisor, but his eldest son was in a high position and he couldn't easily step forward.
