Gu Huainan's doubts remained unresolved, like a rice ball stuck in his chest, neither going up nor down, making him feel suffocated and uncomfortable.
Upon hearing where Lu Yi was going, they followed closely behind, afraid of missing any excitement.
In the car, Lu Yi made several more calls, but all the phones were switched off.
Gu Huainan exclaimed in surprise, "Could you have been blocked? Tell me your number, I'll call you!"
Lu Yi was anxious and nodded, giving Du Guanglong's phone number.
But the result is the same.
Du Guanglong did indeed cut off all contact.
Lu Yi's face darkened, showing considerable anger.
It's truly one wave of trouble after another.
What on earth is my usually calm and composed older brother up to? He just ran off without a word.
Gu Huainan really didn't want to disturb his thoughts, but he couldn't help himself.
"Lu Yi, if my brother insists on settling accounts with the Fan family and you, will you resent the Gu family?"
He was worried about Coco.
Of course, there's also his sister-in-law, Fan Huijun.
Even if the two families fall out, they can simply separate the facts, but the emotional rift ultimately falls on the two women.
Coco may not have much time left, and the hardest time is for Fan Huijun.
The more Fan Huijun cares about her adopted younger brother Lu Yi, the more Lu Yi values Fan Huijun. I really don't know what the older brother is thinking.
Gu Huainan pouted in disappointment, cursing his older brother dozens of times in his heart.
"Even close brothers should keep clear accounts; we should heed the advice of the ancients."
“Huainan, you don’t need to blame your elder brother. If we don’t get involved, we won’t have to confront him head-on, and the pressure and losses will be less.”
Lu Yi lowered his eyes and slowed down the car.
It's clear that he's saying one thing but meaning another.
Gu Huainan felt aggrieved. "It's just money, assets. If we lose it, we can earn it back. The Huo family can turn things around, why can't our Gu family?"
This is his honest opinion.
He wanted to say the same thing to his older brother and father, but every time the words reached his lips, he couldn't bring himself to say them.
On the contrary, he had even less restraint in front of Lu Yi.
Seeing his dejected state, Lu Yi quickly changed the subject.
"You asked me before whether I would accept Lin Xiaoya's advances..."
"Actually, you didn't understand what the Lin family meant. Even someone as shrewd as Lin Hongtao was thinking about securing a future for the Lin family. It's only natural that your brother-in-law would make plans for the Gu family!"
The topic was quite a leap, and Gu Huainan's train of thought got a bit tangled.
"The Lin family...would they let Lin Xiaoya do something like this?"
Lin Yuan is a woman with many tricks up her sleeve. Even if she asks Lu Yi for help, she would have to put on a big banquet to warm Lu Yi's heart first.
They find an illegitimate daughter, hand over some outdated evidence, and try to get someone's protection.
This doesn't seem like the imposing style of the Lin family!
However, hearing that Lu Yi didn't seem to blame his older brother, he felt a little more at ease.
"The Lin family has joined forces with the Lu family. Now the Lu family is in dire straits, and a large amount of the Lin family's funds are tied up."
"If the case is investigated, I'm afraid the Lin family's accounts will be frozen. Can the Lin family withstand a thorough investigation into the source and flow of funds?"
Lu Yi found the Lin family amusing.
Lin Xiaoya's ability to come up with an idea that yields a huge return with minimal cost is a clear indication that she inherited Lin Yuan's arrogance.
But she almost harmed Liang Shiyue, and he remembers that grudge clearly!
Of course, we should help, but how to help is a complex matter.
Gong Che's frequent contact with him couldn't have gone unnoticed by those eyes fixed on Lu Yi; several powerful and influential families were holding a family meeting.
Even when choosing allies, Gong Che wouldn't choose those with the most ulterior motives.
"That's true. We still have the documents we found back then. Maybe they can help you? I'll bring them to you later!"
Gu Huainan was very happy to be able to help Lu Yi.
As for Gu Jia's actions, he wanted to go home and discuss it seriously with his father and elder brother.
The car drove to the gate of a residential area shaded by lush bamboo.
The security guard glanced at the license plate, asked his name, and immediately let him in.
Gu Huainan looked surprised. "When did you buy property here?"
“Back then, this was a rural area, and many people came to buy here. My older brother also wanted to come.”
“But my dad said that this area is all alone here, with no business districts or office buildings, it's inconvenient to live here, and there's no prospect of investment, so he gave up on it.”
The pile of fallen leaves on the roadside looked rather unusual.
There were no parking spaces on the ground, so I drove to the underground parking garage following the directional arrows. What I saw were mostly luxury cars of various colors covered in dust.
It seems to have been forgotten by its owners for far too long.
Car lights flashed at the end of the road. Lu Yi drove over, and Huo Jingxi, Lu Baofei, and Bao Yun got out of the car.
"The car belongs to Ji Qing; he'll be here soon... The security cameras here are all broken!"
What a coincidence that it's bad!
Huo Jingxi, a mocking smile on his lips, pointed to the sky above his head.
Lu Baofei glanced guiltily across Lu Yi's face. "Yi'er, you've come at the right time. The property management has the keys. Let's go up and take a look together."
Gu Huainan silently stood to the side, deliberately lagging behind, and as Lu Baoyun passed by, he hooked the hem of her clothes with his pinky finger.
Lu Baoyun glared at him disdainfully, "What are you doing!"
Gu Huainan grinned shamelessly, "The fact that you thought of me at such a crucial moment means I have a place in your heart."
Lu Baoyun's eyes reddened as she thought of the Lu family's predicament.
"Don't kick me when I'm down, or I'll hate you!"
The property management staff rarely see any actual homeowners.
Today, I suddenly saw three gleaming luxury cars drive in, carrying their keys.
After examining the keyhole closely, I was so shocked that cold sweat broke out on my back.
Several people huddled together, baring their teeth and grimacing, unsure of how to react.
