"I'm heading back first!"
Tang Shimin said, directly returning to her room.
"Hmm?"
"Why is this little girl acting a bit strange? Could it be that the memories from those three years have a lot of impact on him?"
Lu Yang thought to himself, but didn't dwell on it. He felt he had done enough for Tang Shimin, and her future path was up to her.
The next day, Lu Yang went to Haitian Group. Before long, Lin Guoxiong walked in with a mysterious expression.
"Chairman, a woman has come to the company, and she specifically asked to see you!"
Lin Guoxiong said to Lu Yang.
"Who?"
Lu Yang asked.
"She said she is from the Lu family of Xin Guo!"
Lin Guoxiong stated directly.
"The Lu family of Xin Guo?"
Lu Yang frowned slightly. He naturally knew of Xin Guo, a country adjacent to Hua Guo. It was once a tributary state of Hua Guo, and its native language was still Hua Guo language. However, Lu Yang had no dealings with anyone from Xin Guo and had no idea why this woman was looking for him.
"Bring her in!"
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said directly to Lin Guoxiong.
"Yes!"
Lin Guoxiong agreed and soon returned with a woman.
The woman's figure and looks were even more outstanding than Tang Shimin's and Shen Yiman's. Her advantage lay in her demeanor. With every move she made, she exuded nobility, as if she were a distinguished lady from royalty.
"Hello, I am Lu Yang!"
Lu Yang said directly to the woman before him.
"My name is Lu Xue. You might not know me, but I am from a collateral branch of the Lu family of Hua Guo. Strictly speaking, we should be relatives!"
Lu Xue said with a smile to Lu Yang.
"Relatives?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Yang's expression changed drastically. He hadn't expected his Lu family to have collateral branches, and they appeared to be so noble.
"Indeed. However, our Lu family moved to Xin Guo half a century ago and is now the largest conglomerate in Xin Guo. You could say we control the political power of Xin Guo. Let me put it this way: if our Lu family gives the nod, even if the president of Xin Guo were a monkey, no one would dare to object!"
Lu Xue said with a smile.
"They are that formidable?"
Lu Yang's expression changed again. He never imagined that the collateral branches of the Lu family would be so much more powerful than the Lu family in Hua Guo. Speaking of which, the Lu family in Hua Guo was now left with only Lu Yang, a bachelor who had to become a live-in son-in-law out of poverty. If it weren't for the treasure he obtained from the family inheritance, Lu Yang would likely have been killed by the Tang family by now.
"That's right. It's just that recently, the president of Xin Guo has the support of other forces, so we can't fully control the government for the time being. However, if they want to make a move against our Lu family, they'll have to think twice!"
"The reason I came to Hua Guo this time is that I received news that the Lu family of Hua Guo encountered difficulties. Now that you are the only one left in the Lu family of Hua Guo, I am here to provide you with ample support!"
"I've brought one hundred billion in funds. If that's not enough, I can raise another one hundred billion!"
Lu Xue continued to say to Lu Yang.
The fact that she could produce two hundred billion in funds in one go demonstrated the extraordinary strength of the Lu family in Xin Guo.
"Difficulties?"
"We did encounter some difficulties before, but I have already resolved them. How did you receive such news?"
Lu Yang was instantly puzzled. With the strength of their Lu family, it should be easy to investigate Lu Yang's situation. The matter of Lu Yang turning the tables using Haitian Group's stock in Jiangbei City had already spread throughout Hua Guo like wildfire. As long as a boss had some influence, a simple inquiry would reveal the whole story, and they wouldn't be unaware.
Yet, Lu Xue, as a member of the Lu family in Xin Guo, had such outdated information, which made Lu Yang wary.
"Are you implying that someone deliberately spread false news to lure me here?"
Lu Xue, being extremely intelligent, quickly grasped Lu Yang's implication.
"Exactly. I believe this is a conspiracy, and its target is either you or me!"
Lu Yang continued.
"What? Someone dares to target our Lu family in Xin Guo? Are they tired of living?"
Upon hearing Lu Yang's words, Lu Yang's expression immediately turned cold, and his tone was significantly raised.
"I cannot confirm that at the moment, but it is likely not simple!"
"Since I dealt with those families in Yanjing last time, they have been preparing for a counterattack. In the past few days, many people have gathered in Jiangbei City. Your appearance at this critical juncture is clearly related to that matter. However, I am not yet clear about their objective!"
Lu Yang said calmly, "However, I suggest you best leave now. It is very dangerous for you to remain in Jiangbei City!"
"Alright. Since you insist on helping, then I have no reason to stay. This is my business card. Feel free to call me if you need anything. I'll book a flight to leave here right away!"
Lu Yang smiled slightly, handed Lu Yang a business card, and then took out his phone to book a flight.
A few minutes later, Lu Xue's expression changed drastically.
"All flights to Xin Guo today have been canceled. They said there's thick fog in Xin Guo, making landing impossible!"
"What? How is that possible? Could it be such a coincidence?"
Lu Yang's eyes narrowed, and he said coldly.
"It seems this is indeed targeting me. I wanted to bring bodyguards last time, but they were tied up with other matters. Now this happens. It's definitely their doing. I didn't expect their strength to be so great now that they can control the weather in Xin Guo!"
Lu Yang said in a cold tone.
"Lu Xue, since something like this has happened, don't worry. I will ensure your safety until you leave Jiangbei City!"
Lu Yang said directly to Lu Xue.
"Then thank you, Lu Yang!"
"My grandfather told me that your lineage is very powerful. You were once known as the Black Dragon King, the top expert in Hua Guo. I assume your strength is not weak either!"
Lu Xue said with a smile to Lu Yang.
"Protecting you should be no problem!"
Lu Yang smiled faintly.
"Then thank you!"
Lu Yang stood up and performed a very standard international gesture.
"We're family, so there's no need to be so formal!"
Lu Yang said directly.
"By the way, our Haitian Group hasn't been established for long. I need your help to review it and see if there are any areas that need improvement!"
Lu Yang thought for a moment and said to Lu Xue. Since Lu Xue had come all this way, he couldn't let her waste her time waiting for the weather for nothing.
"Certainly, I'd be very happy to!"
Lu Xue smiled slightly and, led by Wang Kexin, went to inspect various departments of Haitian Group.
After seeing Lu Yang leave, Lu Yang took out his phone and made a call.
"My dearest boss, why did you think of me!"
Ai Wei'er on the other end of the phone said excitedly.
"Ai Wei'er, help me investigate someone. Lu Xue from the Lu family of Xin Guo. I need all her and her family's information!"
Lu Yang said directly into the phone.
