The highest point of the construction site.
Lu Yan, Xin Yi, and Shi Er Shao stood on the platform, gazing at the group of Triads.
Lu Yan discovered that after breaking through to the Innate Realm, not only had his strength increased, but his senses had become even sharper.
Even at a distance of a thousand meters, Lu Yan could still see Chen Hao Nan and the others clearly, as if he were wearing binoculars.
Xin Yi and Shi Er Shao were both holding binoculars, looking towards Chen Hao Nan and his men.
"Brother Yan, are we really not going over?"
Xin Yi asked with a hint of worry, especially after seeing Chen Yong Ren being kicked by a martial arts expert like Chen Hao Nan, he was truly worried for his life.
"Wait a bit longer."
Lu Yan seemed completely unhurried.
He certainly wouldn't stand by and watch Chen Yong Ren die.
Si Zai had already rushed over, hiding among the crowd. However, Lu Yan had instructed him to wait for an opportunity to act.
"Are you going to let the line out and hook a big fish?"
Shi Er Shao quickly figured something out.
"I don't know."
Lu Yan wasn't a god. Since someone was trying to cause trouble, he might as well make things even bigger.
Although Lu Yan didn't have any evidence, he felt that with the intelligence of Chen Hao Nan and Shan Ji, it was impossible for them to think up an excuse like claiming they were owed wages to cause trouble.
If nothing else, the woman behind Shan Ji was likely the one planning this.
This woman was truly vicious.
The Lei Gong's lover didn't care about the lives of these Triads at all. As long as she could bring about Lu Yan's downfall, any sacrifice was worth it, even if it meant Shan Ji dying at the construction site.
Lu Yan knew very well that some of the things he had done had blocked others' paths to wealth. However, that's how the world works. There's only so much wealth within a certain period of time. If you don't take it, others will grab it.
Of course.
The most crucial factor.
Was that those members of the triads felt that Lu Yan was out of their league, not one of them, and he was blocking their path to wealth, so they decided to eliminate Lu Yan to avoid any future trouble.
If others wanted Lu Yan to disappear, then Lu Yan wouldn't be polite.
It's still the same saying. If others follow the rules, Lu Yan would follow the rules.
If others break the rules, Lu Yan wouldn't mind breaking the rules as well.
"Brother Yan, why don't you let me handle this?"
Xin Yi suddenly said earnestly.
"Oh?"
Lu Yan couldn't help but take a second look at Xin Yi. He said, "Alright."
"Thank you, Brother Yan!"
Xin Yi said excitedly.
He felt like he needed to grow too.
Especially after learning that Lu Yan had broken through to the Innate Realm, Xin Yi had more aspirations. He couldn't rely on Lu Yan to solve every problem. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to grow.
You know, when Xin Yi was at the peak of the Acquired Realm, Lu Yan hadn't even opened his Ren and Du channels.
And now, Lu Yan had already broken through to the early stages of the Innate Realm while Xin Yi was only at the peak of the Acquired Realm, not even reaching the peak.
It wasn't that he felt discouraged. Instead, Xin Yi had witnessed Lu Yan's growth firsthand and knew that Lu Yan was more hardworking and dedicated than anyone else.
In comparison, Xin Yi felt that he wasn't working hard enough or perhaps, he lacked Lu Yan's ability to grasp the bigger picture.
This ability needed to be cultivated.
It showed that he lacked experience in this area and needed to accumulate it.
"Xin Yi, I'll go with you."
Shi Er Shao was also eager to try.
Ever since he started following Lu Yan, Shi Er Shao finally understood why Hu Ge had asked him to bring the entire gang to Lu Yan. He also understood why Xin Yi and Si Zai, who were once quite arrogant internal martial artists, would willingly work for Lu Yan.
Personal charisma was one aspect. The most crucial factor was that Lu Yan was simply too capable.
In just over two years, Lu Yan had already led the people of Kowloon Walled City out of the city and established a firm foothold in a place like Tsim Sha Tsui.
You know, membership at Yan Long Auto Repair was highly sought after, especially the premium membership. You had to have money and even then, it depended on Lu Yan's mood.
Soon.
Xin Yi and Shi Er Shao quickly left.
Lu Yan remained standing still.
"Do you know that person?"
Behind him, a graceful figure approached.
It was Ao Ming.
"How did you get here?"
Lu Yan pulled Ao Ming into his embrace, knowing that the person she was referring to was Chen Yong Ren.
"Xiao Hui wasn't feeling at ease about you."
Ao Ming didn't hide anything.
"It's good to have you both."
Lu Yan sighed in admiration.
Compared to himself, Song Xiao Hui's situation was even more dangerous, yet she still had Ao Ming rush over.
"I'll send her home first."
Ao Ming added.
"That's good."
Lu Yan felt a lot more at ease.
"You're really not going to do anything?"
Ao Ming changed the subject.
"Xin Yi said he's going to give it a try."
Lu Yan said, "That person is an undercover agent."
"Undercover?"
Ao Ming was stunned, asking with confusion, "Then why did you keep him around?"
"Haven't you heard of the counterintelligence strategy?"
Lu Yan smiled lightly.
Ao Ming fell silent for a moment, then said, "You're not afraid of playing with fire?"
"I'm not afraid to keep a killer by my side."
Lu Yan joked.
"You're such a show-off."
Ao Ming immediately rolled her eyes at Lu Yan, but a sweet feeling arose in her heart.
It was because of Lu Yan's confidence, his willingness to keep her by his side, that their feelings had blossomed.
In fact.
Even now, Ao Ming felt like she was living in a dream. A cold-blooded killer could actually be loved by someone like Lu Yan.
You know, someone as influential as Lu Yan, with a net worth of hundreds of millions, shouldn't be keeping a strange killer as his woman.
It would be understandable if Ao Ming had been a killer that Lu Yan had trained from a young age.
Although Ao Ming was confident in her own beauty, for Lu Yan, beauty was readily available. He wouldn't risk keeping a dangerous seed by his side, especially as his lover.
"Is he an undercover for the police or for the triads?"
Ao Ming changed the subject again, asking curiously.
"The police."
Lu Yan didn't hide anything from Ao Ming.
For this woman who had completely entrusted her body and soul to him, Lu Yan naturally loved her very much. There was no need to hide this kind of thing from her.
"The police?"
Ao Ming was first stunned, showing a look of surprise, but more disbelief. How could a clean-cut taxpayer like Lu Yan be targeted by the police?
So far, Lu Yan's rise to success had been traceable. Every piece of information could be found, and it seemed almost too good to be true.
Lu Yan could definitely be considered a model businessman.
When Ao Ming first learned about this, she was also very surprised and had therefore chosen not to accept the assassination mission against Lu Yan. She felt that this kind of person shouldn't die an unnatural death. Instead, she chose to observe Lu Yan up close first, to see for herself. That's how their feelings developed and grew stronger.
She had to admit that she had become interested in Lu Yan at that time. She was very curious about how such a person could survive in the brutal business world.
It turned out that the armed forces under Lu Yan's command were so formidable.
In this way, Lu Yan naturally had enough confidence.
If others dared to act recklessly, he wouldn't be polite.
If others followed the rules, Lu Yan would follow the rules as well.
To put it bluntly, he had a gun, so he was fearless.
"You should know who it is, right?"
Ao Ming's originally cold and pretty face gradually took on a layer of frost.
Someone dared to harm her man?!
They must be tired of living!
"Are you feeling sorry for your husband?"
Lu Yan sensed Ao Ming's emotional shift and teased her.
"Yeah."
Ao Ming nodded directly, saying, "This isn't fair to you."
"Don't get angry."
Lu Yan wrapped his arms around Ao Ming, saying, "Don't worry about this. I'll handle it properly."
"I'll do whatever you say."
Ao Ming didn't say anything more.
"The show's about to start."
Lu Yan suddenly looked towards Chen Hao Nan and the others, letting out a cold smile.
