Hong Ye has been navigating this territory for many years, handling countless goods, earning countless sums of money, and having countless women entangled with him.
But the Lu family is the first to be so diligent as to send their heir and the daughter of a big star to his side.
The phone was on speakerphone, and He Mingbo heard every single word.
Grandpa Hong was dressed in a navy blue linen Chinese suit, holding a bone skewer with a coating in his left hand, his eyelids drooping lazily.
"Lu Han, it's understandable that you go back for your mother's birthday banquet, but what's the point of us going to Jiangzhou?"
Having known him for so long, he was quite impressed with Lu Han.
The two newest bones on this bracelet were contributed by him!
Backed by a wealthy family that dotes on him, and with several beautiful older sisters supporting him, he has absolutely no airs of a rich young master.
He does have a bit of a roguish air about him and the ruthlessness of a江湖人 (jianghu person, a person from the martial arts world).
Such a sharp blade suited his needs perfectly, as the handle was wide enough to be easy to use.
But when it comes to life and death, Master Hong is more cautious than anyone else.
He Mingbo had mentioned his plan to return to China a long time ago, saying that there was a drone craze in the country, and if this project was worth investing in, they should make preparations!
After all, no matter how much money you get, you can't keep it all under the table.
The Lu family's birthday banquet and the summit in Jiangzhou are both excellent opportunities for them!
The faint static on the phone tickled Lu Yi's ears, and he apologized profusely with a forced smile.
"Master Hong, it was my oversight. I should have gone back and made all the necessary arrangements before welcoming you!"
"It's all my stubborn second sister's fault. She insisted on booking tickets for me and my third sister. I tried countless reasons but couldn't convince her. Look at this..."
Lu Baoqi's unpredictable moods made him feel extremely uneasy.
What normal woman can change dozens or hundreds of faces in a day?
Even more outrageous is that Lu Baoqi seems to have completely lost her sense of morality and shame, no matter who is next to her, even if she was just a second ago crying and complaining to Lu Han about her bad mood.
As soon as someone walks in, she immediately puts on a radiant smile.
At first, Lu Han thought she was just a drama fanatic, but as time went on, he realized that Lu Baoqi was very strange.
After talking to Qin Fengying on the phone last night, Lu Han went to sleep, but in the middle of the night she felt tightness in her chest and couldn't breathe.
When I opened my eyes, I realized that there was a dumbbell on my body.
God knows what kind of scream he let out.
Upon hearing this, Lu Baoqi appeared at his door with her arms crossed, saying that his snoring was too loud and that pressing down on him would not disturb her rest!
At that moment, Lu Han felt more terrified than if she had seen the devil.
He wanted to return to Jiangzhou as soon as possible, bring his biological mother out, and ask her to keep an eye on Lu Baoqi, his money-making machine!
“Lu Han, Hong Ye and I do indeed want to visit your father, and of course we are also honored to be able to attend your mother’s birthday banquet.”
"But as you know, there's too much going on here. If you can't get out, you should go back first. We can buy tickets after we finish things here!"
Hearing him set off like this, He Mingbo crossed his legs and said from the side.
Master Hong chimed in, "I had my men buy a birthday present for your mother. Could you take it back for me? Even if I can't make it, at least I'll have sent my heartfelt wishes!"
Lu Han felt reassured and quickly thanked him!
...
"Did you ask for leave? How can you keep up with online classes after so many days?"
Gu Keke took Lu Yi's hand and skipped out of the airport.
Fan Huijun, who was following behind them, shook her head.
She dreamed of breaking up the young couple in front of her, but she could only grit her teeth in her heart and couldn't actually do it.
Gu Huainan, pulling two suitcases, turned his head away.
"Sister-in-law, just bear with it a little longer. Dad said that after we get Coco a check-up, we'll bring her back to the Gu family home temporarily so she won't be a burden to Lu Yi."
“We all know he’s been busy with a new project lately, and Coco keeps causing him trouble… Sister-in-law, I’m so sorry to have you worrying about her!”
Gu Huainan spoke sincerely, and Fan Huijun felt very embarrassed.
Logically speaking, she shouldn't interfere in Lu Yi's private affairs anymore, but she couldn't help it, always feeling that it was her marriage into the Gu family that brought trouble to Lu Yi.
Otherwise, the two wouldn't have had such a deep relationship.
Gu Keke wouldn't be so obsessed with marrying Lu Yi.
"No, that's not true. Huainan, you go to the hospital with Coco in a little while, I'm going to see a friend."
Fan Huijun volunteered to come along, not only because she was worried about Lu Yi, but also because she wanted to visit Liang Shiyue and her daughter.
Liang Shiyue had told her on WeChat that even just seeing Lu Yi from afar was enough, and she knew she should gracefully withdraw from Lu Yi's life.
Fan Huijun felt a pang of sadness and wanted to explain things to Liang Shiyue in person.
"Sister-in-law, please take care of yourself. We'll have dinner together tonight, go to the hospital tomorrow, and if everyone's in the mood, we can go sightseeing the day after tomorrow..."
Gu Huainan didn't think too much about it. He handed her the handbag from the suitcase, gave her a few instructions, and then followed Lu Yi.
The arrival hall was crowded with people, and Lu Yi keenly noticed several strange gazes being cast at him.
He instinctively shielded Gu Keke behind him and slowed his pace.
Gu Huainan was replying to messages on his phone and didn't notice, "Lu Yi, let's go to the hotel first, should we book two or three rooms..."
Lu Yi didn't turn his head. "You handle it!"
Gu Huainan said "Oh," and pulled Gu Keke over to make a choice together.
It seemed they had misread it; several women brushed past them, greeting the men and laughing as they left.
Lu Yi's expression relaxed.
While sitting in the car, a text message popped up on my screen.
Lu Yi thought it was Huo Jingxi or Fan Shenglun, but when he opened it, he found that it was sent by Gong Che.
"Since you're being used as bait, you need to be prepared to act like bait. The bodyguards are gone. The fishing operation begins..."
The "mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind" tactic was added by Gong Che; he wanted to see exactly who was watching Lu Yi.
In the waiting hall, Lu Han was standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, talking on the phone.
"Listen carefully, capture him alive if you can, otherwise just kill him... What does it matter if the other two are dead or alive? I only want him dead!"
"Also, remember what that girl looks like. I don't care what method you use, kidnap her and hide her!"
Returning to Jiangzhou would be his best alibi.
No matter how powerful the Fan or Gu families are, they can't reach this side, and besides, they couldn't possibly have thought of setting a trap for Lu Yi here.
The men under Master Hong may not be good at much else, but they're certainly capable of kidnapping someone.
He hung up the phone and saw Lu Baoqi walking towards him.
Just then, the boarding announcement came over the loudspeaker, but Lu Baoqi said, "Han'er, I just received a call saying there's an advertisement I need to audition for."
Lu Han looked completely bewildered. "What advertisement?"
Lu Baoqi opened her phone and handed it to him. "The person in charge of this cosmetics company told you about it, and you agreed to it back then."
Lu Han suddenly realized that there was indeed such a thing, but he was only thinking about how to deal with Lu Yi and had long forgotten about it.
