After hearing about Lu Yi's rescue, Lao Ma silently put down his chopsticks.
He grabbed a few napkins and wiped his mouth half-heartedly.
"So, you really took a lot of photos?"
It wasn't until Lu Yi admitted it himself that he fully understood why the sender insisted on pushing him in front of Wen Jialiang.
Lu Yi lazily raised his eyelids.
"I filmed it, and even recorded several videos!"
Since that person is so eager to expose the situation at Fuyun Mountain, Lu Yi no longer needs to hide it.
In order to stop the Huo family from taking over that mountain, Gong Che went to great lengths, resorting to all sorts of tricks and schemes.
If Lu Yi doesn't know his place, he could very well be the next one to get into a car accident or suffer a heart attack.
Old Ma crumpled the napkin into a ball and kneaded it in his palm.
"You...you still dare to film videos? Aren't you afraid of being discovered and never being able to leave the mountain again?"
Because of his excitement, his voice unconsciously rose a few decibels.
Lu Yi smiled at him, "Uncle Ma, you've forgotten again. I was going to find Jiao Jiao. I just took some photos on a whim because the scenery in the rain was so beautiful."
He didn't mention a single word about Gong Che.
Based on this information alone, Lao Ma could not determine the sender's identity.
Of course, Lu Yi didn't know that Gong Che's people, in order to cut off the tails behind him and Gu Huainan, were willing to step forward themselves.
Create a false impression for those people, making them believe that Lu Yi went up the mountain on his behalf.
This is also why Huo Xiao, after figuring things out, instructed Huo Jingxi to hand over the information.
"Stop beating around the bush, where are those documents?"
This is the answer Lao Ma has been waiting for.
Lu Yi was so honest; handing over the documents was just a matter of course for him.
Whether the sender was testing the waters or using him to subtly criticize Lu Yi, as long as he takes the documents back to the technical department for authentication.
Then, select a few unimportant photos, find a few "industry experts," and post a few videos online; you can quickly fool them.
Lu Yi shrugged. "The information isn't with me. I was only focused on saving Ruan Jiaojiao at the time, and I completely forgot about it after I went down the mountain."
Old Ma gritted his teeth, indicating his disbelief.
Lu Yi frowned and pondered for a moment, "By the way, Gu Huainan was with me at the time, why don't you go and ask him?"
“That day, it was raining heavily. The food bag we were carrying was wrapped around Ruan Jiaojiao’s waist, and it’s possible that it was with her.”
In short, he didn't.
Seeing his nonchalant attitude, Old Ma's eyes revealed a hint of helplessness.
“Lu Yi, it doesn’t matter who has this thing. What Lao Wen and I are worried about is that the sender not only told us this clue.”
"Have you ever thought about it? You were kidnapped before and almost lost your life. Your situation is much more dangerous than you imagine!"
Just then, Lu Yi's phone beeped.
A message popped up on the screen.
It was sent by Huo Jingxi: "Let go, let whoever wants to interfere."
Lu Yi subconsciously got up, opened the door to the private room, and his phone suddenly rang loudly.
He answered the phone, but before he could speak, Huo Xiao's hoarse voice came through.
"Yi'er, no matter who asks you, just say the documents are with the Huo family..."
Lu Yi was taken aback.
These father and son are amazing! Did they hack into the store's surveillance system? Looks like we need to upgrade the system.
"Don't tell me it's okay. You'd better stay out of the public eye until the Dark Wolf shows up."
"By the way, I heard that your Miss Liang went on an exchange program. That's great! Going abroad to avoid the limelight is much better than wasting your time at Fengda University!"
After saying this with emotion, Huo Xiao sighed.
Lu Yi was surprised that Huo Xiao still remembered his promise and was still paying attention to Liang Shiyue's movements.
"She has always been opinionated and has the freedom to choose."
Amidst Huo Xiao's concerned yet disappointed lingering words, Lu Yi let down all his guard and pretense, his voice muffled.
Liang Shiyue is not a kite in his hand; her future holds infinite possibilities.
Having possessed it before has already made up for the regrets of Lu Yi's past life.
Regardless of whether Liang Shiyue still remembers that promise, he has no right to judge her choice.
In this world, the only person Liang Shiyue needs to take responsibility for is her mother.
"It's good that you're thinking positively! By the way, Jiaojiao is awake. With Su Yu by her side, you don't need to worry about her. Just focus on your studies!"
Huo Xiao couldn't help but cough a few times.
Before Lu Yi could say anything, he quickly hung up the phone.
The dining table was some distance from the door, and because Lu Yi's voice was soft, Lao Ma only saw that his back was stiff and didn't hear what he said.
"You've gotten yourself into trouble?"
Seeing his gloomy expression, Lao Ma changed the subject.
Lu Yi picked up the cold tea, drank half a cup, and a bitter taste spread in his mouth, causing him to frown deeply.
"It's not too much trouble. It's Xiaoyue who's an exchange student. She'll be going abroad to study at the end of this semester!"
Old Ma felt reassured. "This little girl is quite capable!"
Then he stuck his head over, blinked, and smiled in a strange way.
"Why don't you go with her? It's not too late to find a school now."
"If you've had enough of being Lu Yi, Fan Yi, how about you take my surname and become Ma Yi?"
"Lu Yi belongs to the Lu family, Fan Yi belongs to the Fan family, and Ma Yi belongs to my family... Hehehe!"
In Lao Ma's eyes, Lu Yi's personality was not as striking as his appearance; he was dull and indifferent, making people not want to get close to him.
When talking to Wen Jialiang about Lu Yi, Wen Jialiang also said that this child doesn't seem like someone who has just been born.
He was already quite old, and he had never seen another young man who could navigate the complexities of various wealthy families in Fengcheng, Jiangzhou.
Old Ma thought so too.
Especially when I think of the way Lu Yi looked at that family after Lu Gen's death... ruthless and sharp, yet heartbreaking.
"Father Ma, I want the Fangtian Halberd..."
While Lao Ma was lost in thought, Lu Yi innocently turned to his back, his voice sending chills down Lao Ma's spine.
Old Ma's face darkened. "What 'Father Ma'... I'm still young!"
Lu Yi's expression suddenly turned serious. "Those documents are with the Huo family. If you need them, contact the Huo family yourselves! I think..."
Old Ma was quite surprised. He wanted to speak, but was afraid that Lu Yi would say something that would make him go back on his word, so he gestured for him to continue.
"I think my second brother received some help from you last time, so I should give you some face!"
If Lu Yi didn't misunderstand Huo Xiao's meaning, then that's probably how it is.
As for why the Huo family suddenly changed their minds, Lu Yi had no interest in finding out.
That was beyond his control; whether he knew it or not, it wouldn't change the path he was going to take.
...
Lu Baoyun finally gave Lu Yi some face and replied to one of the messages he sent.
Upon hearing this, Gu Huainan excitedly rushed to the Fan family home, hugged him, and shouted with joy.
This lunatic and love-struck girl, Lu Yi really couldn't believe it. How could the arrogant and domineering Miss Lu have fallen for him?
