Chapter 716 - The Enemys Face (1/2)

Lu Yin Ze's and the Guan brother's tasks were simpler than Tang Yin's.

Xiong Zhi gave them a list of people whom they needed to sound out. The information already have some details which they could take advantage of through the help of their family's name.

Like Xiong Zhi said, those people in the list might approach them because of their family's power, although most of them might be due Ming Zhi Yi's order.

So in return, they must welcome them with open arms. It was not to join their ranks or persuade them for an alliance, but to simply watch them closely.

Lu Yin Ze was currently talking with the people who had affiliated businesses with the Lu family.

He remembered how shocked he was when he first learned about the information from the file that Xiong ZHi gave him three days ago.

...

Lu Yin Ze flipped through the pages with shocked eyes.

”...I know these people. Some of the  have plenty of collaboration and joint projects with the empire. They have stayed for a very long time in the empire. Are you saying that these people are Ming Zhi Yi's men?” Lu Yin Ze asked in a disbelieving tone.

”That is what the file says. Ming Zhi Yi easily planted Gunan in the Guan family fifteen years ago. This kind of thing can happen in your family as well. He had stayed for quite a while in the Lu family's side after all,” Xiong Zhi explained.

Lu Yin Ze fell silent. After a while, he opened his mouth.

”If Grandpa discovers this, he will be heartbroken. Some of these people have been his friends for a long time. I can't believe they are in cahoots with that man.”

”Perhaps they are not siding with Ming Zhi Yi, but to your brother instead,” Linfeng commented. ”It is not surprising that way. Even though your brother was casted out of the Lu family, he is still the eldest young master in their eyes. If you make a even one mistake, or if they are unsatisfied with you, they will run to Lu Jin anytime and help him take the Lu Empire from you.”

Lu Yin Ze's eyes became deeper. ”Even though I don't like what you just said, I cannot deny that what you said is right.”

Linfeng's mouth twitched, but did not say anything in the end.

”Are all the details here all true? These projects that I thought are originally from them, they are actually just bait from Ming Zhi Yi?” Lu Yin Ze was still in disbelief as he continued to read the file.

Those potential projects were already on the process of approval and were important to the company. Once they approved of those projects, if Ming Zhi Yi wanted to, he could use those as cards to cause trouble for the Lu Empire by pulling a few strings here and there.

Lu Yin Ze weakly held his head. ”Grandpa and the other elders plan to accept them all...”

”That is why you have to be in charge of these projects. Convince them and make them hand these projects to you, or at least the core ones I listed. It will be easier for us if you are able to interact with the people on the list directly. Make use of these three days to convince both sides,” Xiong Zhi suggested.

Lu Yin Ze nodded seriously.

These information were truly important and helpful. Before receiving them, he was still in the dark.

His father actually infiltrated the Lu family deeply than he could imagine, by utilizing the remaining influence of his elder brother.

Lu Yin Ze knew that this kind of detailed information was priceless. He looked up at Xiong Zhi and could not help but ask. ”Where did you get this? This must be difficult to get.”

”....”

Xiong Zhi and Linfeng subtly glanced at each other.

”We have intel from the other side. We will tell you the details once the right time comes.”

....

Lu Yin Ze lowered his eyes.

Whoever gave them the intel, he was grateful to him.

The Lu family was indebted to that person.

”Young Master Lu Yin Ze, we are looking forward to working with you.”

Lu Yin Ze woke up from his daze and smiled gently.

These were the very people whom his cunning father sent to their door.

”Me, too. I am looking forward to working with you,” he said meaningfully.

The time before the official start of the event was wisely used by the savvy people in the room.
