"If you don't want to go, then don't go!" Lu Fan nodded, "No matter what happens, I will stand by your side!"
"Thank you, Brother Lu Fan!"
Lin Ke was overjoyed. If the Lin family truly wanted to acknowledge him, his father would have come personally. Sending only a butler was enough to show that the Lin family did not value Lin Ke at all.
Thinking of this, Lin Ke's conviction grew stronger.
"You haven't been in good spirits these past few days, rest at home for a few days," Lu Fan said. "Don't worry about the company matters!"
After speaking, Lu Fan left the villa.
Not long after, Lu Fan's figure arrived at Taikang Pharmaceuticals.
As soon as he entered, Lu Fan saw everyone spirited and full of fighting will.
Upon reaching the office, Manager Chen hurried in, "Mr. Lu, the spirit liquid is selling like hotcakes, reaching new heights in Jiangnan. The company's market value has at least multiplied dozens of times!"
"You've done very well!"
Lu Fan nodded slightly, his expression turning cold.
To become a giant in Jiangnan, Lu Fan had employed many means, and now his wish was largely fulfilled.
"Prepare a gift and head to Tianquan Villa!" Lu Fan stated directly.
Manager Chen dared not ask further, nodded, and left immediately.
At Yang's Pharmaceutical, Yang Ding Tian sat on the sofa, his face etched with worry, having made dozens of phone calls.
"Grandfather, have you found anyone?" Yang Jiaqi asked repeatedly.
"It's all your fault, all your fault!" Yang Ding Tian cursed, "If it weren't for you, the Yang family wouldn't have missed such a good grandson-in-law and wouldn't have been pushed into a desperate situation."
"Grandfather, how can you blame me!" Yang Jiaqi frowned, "Didn't you also object at the time?"
"If it weren't for you, why would I have objected to this marriage!" Yang Ding Tian said coldly, "Lu Fan is Lord Lu. As long as you can make him change his mind, the Yang family might still have a glimmer of hope!"
"Grandfather, he detests me so much, I have no chance at all!" Yang Jiaqi stated frankly, "If there were any chance, I wouldn't be this desperate!"
Yang Ding Tian was filled with regret, but it was too late to turn things around.
With Yang's Pharmaceutical being acquired, they would likely have to beg for food in the future.
After work, Manager Chen, carrying the gifts, arrived at Lu Fan's office, "Mr. Lu, the items are ready."
"Accompany me to Tianquan Villa!" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes.
Manager Chen nodded slightly, not daring to inquire further.
Inside Tianquan Villa, Steward Fu was brewing tea, appearing quite at ease, while also lying under a locust tree.
"Steward Fu, the matter has been investigated. The mastermind behind the Jiangnan Three Oddities is the Ghost Gate!" Ah Hai said, cupping his fist. "However, the Jiangnan Three Oddities have already been killed by the Young Master."
"The Jiangnan Three Oddities have always been cunning. For the Young Master to kill them, his strength must not be weak."
Steward Fu stated, "Are there any other recent developments?"
"The Young Master is exceptionally talented. Not long ago, he successfully brewed the spirit liquid using the spring water from Tianquan Villa," Ah Hai said frankly. "This spirit liquid is selling like hotcakes, and it's expected that the Young Master will soon have immense influence in Jiangnan."
Steward Fu narrowed his eyes, a hint of joy in them. Lu Fan's gradual growth was the best news for him.
"Old Master, you seem quite leisurely!"
A laugh echoed as Lu Fan strode in, Manager Chen following behind, still holding the gifts.
"Young Master, why have you come?"
Steward Fu rose, his face beaming with smiles. "I was just inquiring about the Young Master's situation, and unexpectedly, the Young Master has arrived!"
"I've come to thank Steward Fu!" Lu Fan chuckled. "If it weren't for the water from Tianquan Villa, Taikang Pharmaceuticals wouldn't have developed so rapidly."
"Tianquan Villa has always belonged to the Young Master, so what thanks are there to speak of!" Steward Fu pointed to a chair in front and smiled, "I think the Young Master's visit is not as simple as just thanking me!"
"Steward Fu indeed has sharp eyes!" Lu Fan nodded slightly. "Since that's the case, shouldn't Steward Fu tell me about what happened back then, so I can have a plan to deal with it!"
"What happened back then?" Steward Fu was stunned for a moment before smiling slightly, "With the Young Master's current strength, he is likely still no match for them!"
"Steward Fu is unwilling to tell?" Lu Fan frowned. "The five major financial groups of Jiangnan are all under my control. With such strength, can I still not achieve it?"
"Indeed!" Steward Fu nodded solemnly. "The enemy's power is far more terrifying than imagined!"
"No matter what their strength is, I hope Steward Fu can tell me what happened back then!" Lu Fan's expression was serious. "I hope Steward Fu can understand my thoughts!"
"Young Master..." Steward Fu stood rooted to the spot, remaining silent for a long time.
Although Lu Fan held considerable prestige in Jiangnan, it was only on the surface. Within Jiangnan, hidden financial groups and martial arts families were numerous, they simply had not revealed themselves.
With Lu Fan's current strength, facing such colossal entities, he was still unable to cope.
"Since Steward Fu is so troubled, consider it as if I never mentioned it!"
Lu Fan finished speaking, turned, and left directly, as if he had already made up his mind.
"Young Master!"
Steward Fu shouted, but didn't know how to speak. The events of that year were too complex. How could they be explained in a few words? Moreover, Lu Fan had not truly grown yet. Facing powerful enemies, he would surely perish.
Lu Fan did not stop. He turned and left. Since Steward Fu was unwilling to speak, he must have his difficulties, and Lu Fan would not force him. However, he was determined to investigate this matter thoroughly.
Watching Lu Fan's retreating figure, Steward Fu sighed deeply and said no more. At this point, he could only go with the flow.
As Lu Fan just stepped out of Tianquan Villa, a figure blocked his path. "Young Master, Tianquan Villa has always supported you and will never have any other intentions. Steward Fu is doing this for your own good!"
"Old Zhao, there's no need to say more, I understand!" Lu Fan nodded. "Go back and tell Steward Fu that I won't blame him, but I will definitely get to the bottom of this matter!"
"Young Master, the enemies of the Lu family are too powerful. If the Young Master truly intends to act, his current strength may not be enough to deal with them!" Old Zhao stated frankly. "Although I cannot see through the Young Master's strength, even if the Young Master is infinitely close to the Grandmaster realm, he may not be their match!"
"Infinitely close to Grandmaster?" Lu Fan narrowed his eyes. "What about the Grandmaster realm?"
Old Zhao's body trembled violently, and he took a few steps back.
"Young Master, you..."
Lu Fan said nothing more, turned, and left. However, he was not angry; he understood everything.
"Grandmaster?"
Old Zhao stood in place, his eyes filled with joy. "A dragon has emerged from the Lu family, the Lu family has finally produced a dragon!"
In the car, Manager Chen drove, not daring to speak casually.
"Go to Qinglong Sect!"
Lu Fan's voice was cold. If Steward Fu wouldn't tell him, he would investigate himself. The revenge for the annihilation of his clan was irreconcilable!
Not long after, the car arrived at Qinglong Sect. Lu Fan walked straight in.
