Sedvan hugged Lu Xu Qian, "You are enough, you don't need a lot of men."

Lu Xu Qian said no more, just extending his hand to pat her back. The two of them sat in the yard and actually quietened down for a moment.

Lu Xunqian had wanted to find some topic of conversation to continue their conversation, but he had not expected to hear a call from the door.

"Who?" Upon hearing the other party's name, Lu Xu Qian was actually unable to react in time.

"That man said he was a director and that he would meet with him if he heard."

Lu Xu Qian was surprised. The director actually dared to take the initiative to look for him?

However, thinking back to what Chu Xinxia had said before, he could guess a few things.

Rather than passively waiting to be discovered, he might as well take the initiative and deliver himself to the door. This way, he might be able to seize the initiative.

"Fine, let him in."

Lu Xu modestly told Sai Tiewan to return to his room, while he himself sat on the hammock in the courtyard, waiting for the directors to arrive.

In a few minutes, the director came in from outside.

"I didn't expect to see you again." Lu Xu smiled.

The director also shook hands with Lu Xunqian with a fitting smile, "Same here."

"The last time we met, you still wanted to make a move against the Lu family. At that time, did you set your sights on Yin Lan? " Lu Xu modestly offered a seat, allowing the director to sit on a round stool at the side.

The board member did not feel the slightest bit of politeness and immediately sat down, "I found the wrong chess piece at that time, I didn't expect it to be so lacking just like that."

Lu Xunqian wanted to laugh. Was this a question of being one-step short of the mark?

"I didn't expect you to come again."

The director nodded, "What a pity about the matter with Miss Xi."

It was unknown if he was speaking of his regret over not toppling Lu Xu Qian, or if he was truly regretting over Xi Chen's matter. However, Lu Xu Qian nodded and did not ask in detail.

"May I ask, why did Mr. Dong come this time?"

The board member glanced at Lu Xunqian, his gaze filled with pity and ridicule, "This time, I've really come purely to pay you a visit."

"Hmm?" Lu Xunqian did not want to believe that he had such good intentions.

"After all, Xin Xia and I almost got married before, and now that you've taken over, we can be considered to have continued the marriage." The director gave a half-smile.

Lu Xu harrumphed, "I didn't expect this to be a type of 'relationship'."

"Naturally."

Lu Xu Qian really wanted to take off the director's brain to see what exactly was in it.

Did he think that using such a tone would anger him?

Yet, the director seemed to have really come to visit, speaking a few words to Lu Xunqian before saying that he was leaving.

Lu Xunqian was truly baffled by him. Was he just passing by the Lu Family and coming in to show off?

It was obvious that the board of directors did not intend to answer Lu Xunqian's question. He smiled, got up and left.

At night, Master Lu returned with an unpleasant expression.

"Grandfather, what's wrong?" Lu Xu Qian had not seen the old man's expression for a long time, so he asked worriedly the moment he entered the study room.

"It's fine, go call your aunt."

Lu Xudong went to the backyard and called Lu Huan over.

Lu Huan was supposed to live in the front yard, but because she liked peace and quiet, coupled with her current identity being quite sensitive, she didn't really fit in with guests, so she stayed in the back yard.

Lu Xu Qian calling her over actually surprised her quite a bit. Usually, the old man would speak to him alone. Why would he be together with Lu Xunqian today?

The two of them arrived at the study room at the same time. When they saw the heavy expression on Master Lu's face, they subconsciously held their breath.

"I called you over because I have something to discuss with you. Sit down first."

"Yes."

"Yes."

The two of them were like children as they obediently sat down according to the lordmaster's orders.

"Today, someone handed a letter to the top. It was about a relationship with a neighbouring country." Old Master Lu sounded extremely exhausted, causing Lu Xu Qian's heart to tighten uncontrollably.

"What does this have to do with our family?" Lu Huan had already entered the class. The old gramps was still so old, but he was just a businessman. How could he be related to this matter?

"It really is related to our family." Old Master Lu couldn't help but sigh, "Let's first talk about the situation over there."

Actually, this might have had something to do with the Borunis as well.

Mr Boruni's business has grown so much lately that he is no longer satisfied with trading with neighbouring countries. As the largest consumer center, the United States itself is highly competitive, so he won't be able to gain much market share.

But Asia is different. With the exception of Japan, most of the other regions are lagging behind.

Russia, as a major industrial power, does have some advantages in this respect, so he used the channels of his neighbours to open up in Asia.

"Is he peddling to Vietnam?" Lu Huan could hear the scent.

Old Master Lu nodded his head, "I'm not sure yet, but from what it says, there seems to be a hint."

"What does that have to do with our family?" Lu Xu Qian still didn't quite understand.

"This time, the higher-ups have made a plan to get someone to go to Vietnam and contact the local arms dealers." Old Master Lu glanced at Lu Xunqian, "The letter that was handed to me is referring to you."

"Me?" Lu Xu Qian pointed at his own nose, "Why is it me?"

The last time he went to Russia, it was all because of the old man's plan to help his own family. However, this was obviously the plan of the higher-ups, so why would it be his turn?

Wouldn't it be more appropriate to say that you specialize in espionage?

After all, there was a special department in charge of this in the courtyard, and they were all professionals.

Even if he had some skills, he was only a businessman. How could he take over such a professional thing?

Old Master Lu nodded with a grave expression, "That's why I thought it was strange."

Lu Huan frowned, "You mean, someone did it on purpose?"

Old Master Lu nodded, "It should be someone doing this on purpose. We don't even know who or what they are."

"Then this …"

"The higher-ups haven't said anything yet, I just found out." Old Master Lu's expression turned even more unsightly.

Although Old Master Lu couldn't cover the sky with one hand, he still had some status over there. Ordinary things couldn't be hidden from Old Master Lu either, but this matter had only been made known to them until now. Most likely …

"It seems that we really must prepare well." Lu Huan's face was filled with fatigue. "I didn't expect that Xu Qian could also become our target."

Old Master Lu was also very helpless, "A big tree rouses the wind, a big tree rouses the wind …"

For some inexplicable reason, Lu Xu Qian suddenly thought about the matter of the director coming to his house today. Could it be that it had something to do with this?

"Grandfather, what's the situation with the Dong Clan now?" Lu Xu Qian asked.

Old Master Lu looked at Lu Xunqian, "Nothing special, why …"

"The Lu family lost when they were competing with aunt. After that, they have been very peaceful. Are there no other problems?" Lu Xunqian felt it was strange. From the looks of it, the director did not seem to be doing anything, but rather seemed to be gathering his potential and preparing to do something.

Old Master Lu thought for a moment, then looked at Lu Huan, "There aren't any big movements."

"If I'm not wrong, that letter was probably sent by Dong Tiancheng." Seeing that even Old Master Lu had a face full of doubt, Lu Xu knew that the Dong Clan had probably concealed it from everyone's gazes, "Today, the director suddenly came to the house and didn't say anything. It was as if he was here to confirm that I wasn't at home."

"The Dong Clan has a plan like this?" Old Master Lu looked puzzled, "If that's true, then the Dong Clan has really made a big deal out of this …"

Lu Huan's face turned ugly, "If that's really the case, then we can't let Xu Qian pass this time!"

Old Master Lu also nodded, but there was a hint of hesitation in his expression.

Obedience was the soldier's most basic rule. Lu Xunqian might be able to oppose it, but he could not.

Was that why the Dong Clan made such a decision?

Although Lu Xu Qian was a little shocked by the Dong Clan's methods, he also knew that this matter could no longer be controlled by the Lu Clan.

"If it comes to that, I'm duty-bound to do it." The men of the Lu family shouldn't be afraid. In the face of difficulties, they definitely wouldn't lower their heads!
