However, he had to win over Lu Baofei before he went abroad.
The Gu family didn't put too much pressure on him, but Gu Keke was by his side every day, and he couldn't pretend he knew nothing about Keke's illness.
Even if this marriage is just a show.
Once Lu Baofei returns, she will definitely make sure everyone understands the prospects of the liquid hydrogen project. He can use this time to arrange the right people.
As they approached the service area, Huo Jingxi received a call from Du Guanglong.
"Second brother, everything's settled at home, I'm already at the airport!"
Upon hearing this, Huo Jingxi immediately straightened his legs and sat up straight. "What, so urgent?"
With two kilometers to go before reaching the service area, Lu Yi seized the opportunity to change lanes.
After the car came to a stop, Huo Jingxi had already hung up the phone.
"My brother has never been interested in women before, but this time he seems serious..."
After saying that, he turned his head and looked at Lu Yi thoughtfully.
Lu Yi was taken aback, recalling Lu Baoqi's absurd actions back then.
"The Lu family has no feelings for each other, brother, don't fall into their trap!"
"Lu Baoqi used this method to get rid of the Huo family, willingly running to that kind of place to become someone else's money-making tool. Why should you, brother, go through all this trouble for her!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had accidentally let something slip.
Huo Jingxi snorted, "Well, Third Brother, so you already knew about the situation of the Third Miss Lu over there!"
"My brother and I were afraid you would feel uncomfortable if you heard this, so we did our best to cover it up."
In fact, the Huo family had no need to support Lu Baoqi at all.
The real boss behind that agency is Lu Yi; Huo Jingxi is just using him as a figurehead.
But no one has uncovered this secret.
Even the Lu family thought that Huo Jingxi was interested in Lu Baoqi. After discussing it with her husband Lu Zhengming, Madam Lu secretly went to find out Huo Xiao's opinion.
Huo Xiao dismissed her with just one sentence: "Let the young people do what they want."
After that, Lu Baoqi's career flourished, and the Lu family also attracted many investors because of her fame.
Unfortunately, those who placed their bets on the Lu family never dreamed that, while the Lu family seemed to be the same as before, it had actually been taken over by foreign capital.
Huo Xiao initially didn't know the reason for the Lu family's resurgence and thought that Lu Yi was secretly giving them money to deliberately inflate their egos.
Upon learning of He Mingbo, a look of horror immediately appeared in his eyes.
"What the Lu family is doing is no different from drinking poison to quench thirst!"
He Mingbo's family is based in Fengcheng. They had dealings with the Huo family years ago. Huo Xiao disliked their ruthless way of making money.
When the Huo family first became wealthy, the He family had already immigrated.
The two families had no further contact after that.
However, before the Huo family's troubles, Huo Xiao had once gone abroad for an inspection and heard someone mention He Mingbo.
It was a relatively loosely managed city, where you could see homeless people who were mentally unstable and looked like zombies on the streets and under bridges at any time.
The people who hosted them said that it was He Mingbo's territory.
Every penny He Mingbo earned was squeezed from the mouths of those drug addicts.
Huo Xiao smiled at the time, but he never expected that after so many years, the Huo family would go through many ups and downs, and He Mingbo would return to his homeland in a different way.
After figuring out the whole story, Huo Xiao earnestly warned Lu Yi not to get involved with someone like He Mingbo.
On this land, any behavior without any moral boundaries is tantamount to courting death.
But the gears of fate will not be changed by anyone's interference.
Just like the Lu family, it's too late for them to turn back now!
Lu Yi took out his phone, found several videos sent from an unknown number, and handed them to Huo Jingxi.
Huo Jingxi looked at it carefully, then shook his head and sighed softly.
"That adopted son of the Lu family is too ruthless. When I was abroad, I saw many ruthless killers, but there were very few as ungrateful as him!"
"I had someone inquire about it, and it turns out that it was this Lu Han who introduced He Mingbo to Lu Zhengming!"
"And as for himself, his status with Master Hong is almost catching up with He Mingbo's now. I'm really worried..."
Halfway through his sentence, Huo Jingxi propped his feet up on the glove box, lit a cigarette, and started puffing away.
Seeing that he didn't seem to be going to the restroom, Lu Yi started the car and continued onto the highway.
When we were almost in Fengcheng, we changed our route and headed to the airport.
Du Guanglong is not a love-struck fool who would charge into battle for love.
Lu Yi didn't believe he would travel across the ocean for Lu Baoqi; he probably would persuade Du Guanglong to join the underworld before Huo Jingxi could convince him.
As someone with no ties to anyone, staying in one place for too long would inevitably make him susceptible to Huo Jingxi's persuasion.
However, Du Guanglong was more than just a sworn brother to Lu Yi.
"Are you crazy? Where are we going?"
Huo Jingxi, who was fast asleep, was awakened by a sudden push on his back. He saw the airport landmark in the distance and spoke with a somewhat stern expression.
"Second brother, there are plenty of ways to find that agent, such as calling the police. It's unreasonable to send eldest brother alone!"
The agent's identity is completely innocent; at least that's what Huo Jingxi said when he first brought the person in.
Isn't it strange that a living person goes missing, and instead of calling the police, people go looking for them themselves?
Lu Yi had other things on his mind before and hadn't thought about it deeply, but just now, he suddenly understood.
Huo Jingxi has even dragged the Huo family into this mess, so what do one or two people matter to him?
He thought he had been patient enough in order to get revenge, but Huo Jingxi was even more patient than him!
"What do you mean?"
Huo Jingxi pinched the bridge of his nose with his fingers. "You don't think I'm trying to harm my older brother, do you?"
Lu Yi quickened his pace. An hour had passed in total, and he needed to see Du Guanglong as soon as possible.
Just as a car sped past and was about to enter the parking lot, a foreign flight flew overhead. Huo Jingxi glanced at it through the car window and suddenly smiled.
Lu Yi pulled the car over to the side of the road. "Second Brother, if you want to arrest someone, lure them back to China instead of making a huge fuss and putting your own people at a disadvantage!"
Huo Jingxi felt a surge of excitement and stared at Lu Yi in surprise.
"Aren't you going to pursue it anymore?"
Lu Yi pointed and said, "If I'm not mistaken, Big Brother is on that plane... You're about to close the net, aren't you?"
Huo Jingxi greatly admired Lu Yi's keen insight.
But I'm also worried that if he knows too much, it might cause trouble, since this matter concerns the Lu family...
Lu Yi glanced at his face.
He continued, "If I'm not mistaken, your targets aren't in the cage yet. Since they can't operate effectively abroad, why not lure them all to the country?"
Huo Jingxi's eyes darkened. "Do you have a better suggestion?"
Lu Yi nodded.
While Huo Jingxi was asleep, Lu Yi received a message from Qin Fengying.
She said she wants to have a big birthday party this year and hopes Lu Yi can attend. It would be even better if he could bring some friends!
Lu Yi glanced at the lengthy essay of several hundred words and deleted it.
Just now, he suddenly connected some unrelated things...
