The murderous intent in that instant made Gu Huainan feel rooted to the spot. In the noisy rain, only Ruan Jiaojiao could clearly hear his question.
Lu Yi took off the hood of his raincoat, glanced back at him, and gestured for him to relax.
Then he took a few steps closer to Gong Che.
The bodyguards instinctively reached for their waists, watching Lu Yi warily.
Lu Yi stopped and extended his right hand.
"If I'm not mistaken, what you want is what we have. It's a pity, this was something I bought for the Huo family."
The atmosphere became somewhat heavy, and Gong Che's pupils suddenly contracted.
After a moment of silence, Lu Yi calmly withdrew his hand: "It seems that Mr. Gong came to intercept us this time intentionally without telling the Huo family."
"Dealing with the three of us would be very simple, so why didn't you call the people lying in ambush at the foot of the mountain to do it? Instead, you've gone to all this trouble here."
He narrowed his eyes, glanced at the group of at least thirty bodyguards around him, and looked at them with disdain.
Upon hearing this, Gong Che's hand, which was holding a cigarette, froze in mid-air, a look of shock flashing across his face.
He raised his hand and dismissed everyone.
She reached out and grabbed Lu Yi's arm, pulling him into the car.
The bodyguards simply followed orders and none of them dared to step forward, even though Lu Yi looked extremely aggressive at that moment.
As soon as the car door closed, Gong Che turned his head, his appreciative gaze lingering on Lu Yi's face for a few seconds.
"Tell me, where is it?"
“You’re not like that idiot from the Gu family. I think we should get straight to the point in our conversation!”
The dark leather was mixed with a strong smell of smoke, and Lu Yi frowned.
Regardless of whether Gong Che knew Huo Jingxi's true identity, those documents should not have been given to an outsider first.
The drug case that Black Hawk was investigating involved far more than Lu Yi could imagine.
Gong Che, who holds a high position, has no idea what role he plays in a place like Fengcheng. What if he is also involved in the case?
Otherwise, Lu Yi really couldn't figure out why he sent someone to follow him!
"Give me a reason why I should believe you!"
Lu Yi met his gaze and asked sincerely.
"reason?"
Gong Che seemed to have heard a big joke. He shrugged, crossed his arms, leaned back, and looked at him with a hint of amusement.
“A year ago, I received a call from Mr. Huo, who asked me to help find someone.”
"Later, my people found a man and a woman in a villa. The owner of the villa was surnamed Lu and was from Jiangzhou."
"The drunken man inside is the Lu family's driver. If I remember correctly, his surname is Huang. The girl is young and is a student at Fengcheng University."
"Later, I heard that the driver died under mysterious circumstances. And wouldn't you know it, I happened to be on a business trip that day and witnessed the car accident with my own eyes..."
"Well, I'm a very curious person. After all, it's not common to instruct a cow to commit a crime. As a result, I actually found out who was behind it."
Lu Yi's gaze lingered on his face, and upon hearing this, his expression gradually became indifferent.
Is there any need to bother investigating who was behind that car accident?
With Driver Huang dead, who benefited and who is the most suspicious?
However, the scene had been thoroughly cleaned up at the time, and Du Guanglong did not obtain any concrete evidence.
Furthermore, the Huang family valued money more than people; once they had the money, they never thought about investigating the truth behind the car accident.
Over time, the matter faded from people's view.
Hearing people he was meeting for the first time talk about it, Lu Yi couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
“Lu Yi, I know you don’t have a good relationship with the Lu family, but if the Lu family gets involved in a murder case, it will damage your reputation…”
It turns out that Gong Che wanted to use this to control him.
They forced him to obediently hand over the filming materials.
At that moment, Lu Yi saw through his trump card. "Ha, reputation?"
As netizens have said, his reputation has never been good. Would he care about what lawsuits the Lu family might get into?
"In exchange for the evidence against Lu Zhengming, you'll get the information you have. You won't lose out!"
Gong Che's words were concise and to the point.
Lu Yi suddenly remembered a bug he had overlooked earlier!
"Your people know I took photos, why don't they take them themselves?"
Gong Che was taken aback by the question.
He gets angry whenever this topic is brought up.
His people investigated the drug den for so long, and even received several advance payments from him, but they found absolutely nothing.
If it weren't for his concern that those clumsy people wouldn't act with restraint, he wouldn't have sent his trusted confidants to follow Lu Yi.
They're probably still in the dark, thanks to those lazy bums.
That confidant wasn't exactly a genius either. After hurriedly following Lu Yi, who was acting alone, he lost track of him halfway and could only wait where he was.
Gong Chiche overheard Lu Yi's conversation with Huo Jingxi and then told him about Lu Yi's "discovery".
Seeing that he was hesitant to speak, Lu Yi turned to look at the rain-soaked car window.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Gong, the information you requested is not on me, nor is it with my two friends. You've miscalculated."
“It is important to testify against Lu Zhengming, but what happens to Lu Zhengming has absolutely nothing to do with me!”
"So, I'm losing big on this deal. You'll make me let down my friends, my second brother, President Huo, and myself..."
"Since you know the location of the drug den, you could have applied for permission to operate from your superiors. Why go through all this trouble!"
The constant thunder and lightning made the quiet carriage somewhat unsettling.
Gong Che pondered Lu Yi's words, and by the time he came to his senses, he had already gotten out of the car and walked into the dark rain.
Seeing the three leave the encirclement with an air of nonchalance, the leading bodyguard became uneasy.
He walked over step by step and bent down to knock on the car window.
"Sir, they're gone!"
The car window rolled down a crack.
Gong Che said with a gloomy face, "Arrange a car to take the three of them to the Huo family's gate and leave. Don't linger or say anything more."
The man didn't understand, but he did as instructed.
On the way back, Gong Che closed his eyes to rest.
But Lu Yi's intentional or unintentional mockery echoed in his mind.
He also wanted to send someone into the mountains to make a great contribution, but there was a mountain king there.
Lu Yi only saw that he had sent people to follow him, but did not think of the other side.
That is to prevent him from crossing the line, causing his friends to die without a burial place, and bringing disaster upon the Huo family!
Unfortunately, Lu Yi may have misjudged him. The reason he severed ties with the Huo family was completely different from the reason Lu Yi broke with the Lu family.
He was using his power and connections to pave the way for the Huo family in secret, all to preserve the family's roots.
Lu Yi, on the other hand, wanted to take revenge on the Lu family!
"That mountain is a mountain, but it's not really a mountain either; it's someone's golden den!"
"If we had been able to search the mountains more freely, we wouldn't be in such a passive position. Only today did we realize that Fengcheng was such a den of iniquity!"
Gong Che slowly opened his eyes, his slender fingers rummaging through his pockets.
A quick glance revealed a crumpled piece of paper on the spot where Lu Yi had been sitting, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
He picked it up and weighed it in his hand. When he unfolded it, he discovered that it contained an extremely simple map.
Some lines were wet and appeared as if they were centipedes on the paper, but they were still generally legible.
"Heh, I never would have guessed, Lu Yi, that you're so meticulous!"
