To prevent Lü Feng from tracing the source, Liu He, though unable to meet Zhang Ke directly, felt it imperative to see Dong Hua today.
After leaving Liao Heyun, Liu He quickly made his way to Dong Hua's location.
He explained everything he needed to tell Dong Hua, who immediately prepared to act on his instructions.
However, just as Dong Hua was about to rise, Liu He stopped him, looking at him with a tone of warning.
"Last time, your godfather was indirectly used. This time, you absolutely cannot make a mistake, or I won't be responsible for you anymore. As for Lü Feng and your mother Dong Ye's affairs, I think you'll have to resolve them yourself then!"
Hearing such impolite words, had something major happened?
Dong Hua was stunned at first, then began to panic.
Without Liu He's support, where would he find a partner? Although he didn't understand what was wrong with Liu He, or how he had offended him, this matter was no triviality. Before figuring things out, he quickly said, "Mr. Liu, don't say that. You know my situation. What's wrong today? Didn't we agree on this? Why are you acting like you want to disengage?"
Liu He didn't actually want to disengage from Dong Hua. If he did, he would only die faster. He was acting this way to warn the person in front of him.
Liu He's voice was calm, "Whether we disengage depends on this time. If we still can't defeat that kid this time, it will be difficult for both of us to stay together, even if we don't want to."
Understanding that Liu He clearly had his difficulties, Dong Hua softened his tone. "Mr. Liu, have you encountered any troubles?"
More than just troubles, if this matter wasn't handled properly, he didn't know if he would even have the chance to be troubled in the future.
Seeing Liu He's brows furrowed and his silence, Dong Hua continued, "Mr. Liu, if there's anything, why don't you tell me? Your brother will help you brainstorm!"
Having someone to confide in wasn't a bad thing, and it could release the displeasure bottled up inside. Liu He wanted to.
But could Dong Hua understand?
After thinking about it, Liu He finally dismissed the idea. He then said to Dong Hua, "You don't need to worry about these things. I'll handle them myself. However, you must deliver the matters I've entrusted to you."
Noticing the significant difference in Liu He's tone and attitude compared to before, Dong Hua realized this matter was unusual and nodded with certainty.
But Liu He still felt uneasy. He had planned to leave, but the foot that was about to step out quickly retracted. "How about this, I'll wait here, how about that?"
This seemed a bit exaggerated. However, this was his private office, and almost no one could enter without authorization. Dong Hua generously nodded.
Dong Hua walked out of his office with his mind full of questions.
He truly understood what Liu He had told him just now, but would doing so really work?
He had countless question marks in his heart about this. However, since Liu He kept emphasizing that only by doing so could they catch Lü Feng off guard, he couldn't say much more.
After all, Dong Hua was not Lü Feng.
Mulling over these questions, Dong Hua was soon driven by his driver to the bottom of Zhang Ke's building.
He went up the elevator, familiar with the route. Seeing Dong Hua, Zhang Ke was completely bewildered.
At the same time, a layer of inescapable fear gradually enveloped his heart.
He had just come from Lü Feng. Could Dong Hua have already received the news? Or had Lü Feng already spread the word?
Thinking of this, cold sweat poured down Zhang Ke's forehead like rain.
If he were discovered, he would be finished. But judging by Lü Feng's appearance when he saw him just now, it shouldn't be him. Then?
"Godfather, what's wrong?" Zhang Ke's chaotic thoughts were suddenly interrupted by a clear voice.
"Oh, it's nothing." Although Zhang Ke said this, Dong Hua's suspicion only grew stronger. What kind of day was it today? Not only Liu He, but Zhang Ke was also acting strangely.
What made him even more puzzled was that just as he was about to continue speaking, he and Zhang Ke bumped into each other.
"Godfather, you?"
"What are you doing here?"
This was the first time in many years that he had been so absent-minded. Seeing this, Zhang Ke couldn't help but smile awkwardly, then quickly recovered. "Look at me, I've been in poor spirits these past few days. You go ahead and say what you need to say."
Dong Hua was on a mission, and Liu He was pressing him urgently. He didn't stand on ceremony now.
"Godfather, I heard that this time, we didn't manage to get a hold of that kid Lü Feng!"
Since the matter had already happened, Zhang Ke should have expected the outcome. Trying to silence others was probably not that easy, especially since the Dong family's informants were not to be trifled with.
Zhang Ke simply sighed and admitted his failure first. "Yes, I didn't expect it. That kid Lü Feng is so cunning. Your godfather and I have become his pawns."
When Liu He told him about this, Dong Hua had felt extremely uncomfortable. If Liu He hadn't specifically instructed him, he would have exploded right then and there.
But for the sake of his own goals, Dong Hua's calm face showed a few streaks of gentleness, and he even persuaded Zhang Ke insincerely.
"Godfather, this isn't your fault. Don't mention yourself, even I misjudged him. This kid is indeed formidable."
What?
This time, it was Zhang Ke's turn to look confused. Wasn't this person here to hold him accountable? He had disrupted this person's original plan.
What was this kid up to?
Before Zhang Ke could ask, Dong Hua continued, "Godfather, last time, our preparations and considerations were insufficient, and we underestimated this kid. This time, we'll have to trouble you again!"
Dong Hua was being excessively polite this time.
However, the next moment, Zhang Ke's confusion was resolved.
This kid needed his help, but what else could he do to help?
Zhang Ke reviewed the resources he could mobilize, and there were very few that could help Dong Hua.
As a result, Zhang Ke frankly admitted, "I don't fear being troubled, but I don't know if it will be useful after being troubled."
Sensing Zhang Ke's thoughts, Dong Hua remained calm. He didn't need to think much about how to proceed, as Liu He had already told him everything.
What he needed to do now, although it seemed to involve many things, actually had only one core objective: to win over Zhang Ke and ensure he continued to work for him wholeheartedly.
Thinking of this, Dong Hua couldn't help but grin, "Godfather, you can rest assured about that. There are plenty of ways."
