Chapter 402: Returning to China
"The old deer is missing?" Charles was also a little surprised to hear this.
"Yes, I just received the news, so I want to return to China in the next two days." Lu Ling's tone was a little eager.
She struggled to find her father, and she has been busy since then, and Lu Ran disappeared again not long after the two were reunited, and she was inevitably anxious.
"Did you have someone check it? Is there a clue? Eli asked.
Lu Ling shook her head, "I have already started looking for it in China, but I haven't found it, I don't know who did it." Now there is a mess in the country and someone needs to solve it, so I may have to put aside the matter of country A for the time being. β
"That's as it should be." Charles agreed. "You can be busy with domestic affairs, we are watching here, with the agreement of that day, the Musen family should not act rashly recently."
Lu Ling nodded, she was not worried about the Mu Sen family. At present, both sides want to stop fighting and digest the forces left by the Doug family, and naturally they will not start a war easily in the near future.
"Do you need me to go back with you?" Eli asked.
Lu Ling looked up to see the worried look on Eli's face, and then looked at Charles on the side.
If Eli returns to China with her, of course, it would be good, many people have more strength. But I'm afraid Charles doesn't want to. Moreover, the Mussen family was watching from the sidelines, and he definitely didn't want Eli to go back with her at this time.
Hearing Eli's words, Charles really frowned.
"It stands to reason that Eli should go back with you, but Luling, you also know that after you leave, the family's affairs will definitely be busy, and if Eli leaves again at this time, there will be fewer people available to me here."
"Taylor is also in poor health, and the rest of the family is not very comfortable." Charles looked confused.
"I understand." Lu Ling interrupted him.
Seeing Eli's frowning, Lu Ling said: "I can solve it in China, you can stay here and be busy." β
"Can you do it yourself? Or I can remotely control this side. β
Hearing this, the smile on Charles's face was a little ugly.
It turned out that Eli and Lu Ling had a good relationship, and he was happy to see it, but now the situation has changed, and Eli left the family affairs to help Lu Ling, which made him extremely uncomfortable.
"Thank you for your kindness, but Uncle is right, you really can't leave here." Lu Ling looked at him and smiled.
"Don't worry, I will ask domestic forces and some partners to help find it, they will definitely sell me this face, I believe it won't take long to find it." Charles on one side comforted the two.
After talking to Charles, Lu Ling went back to pack her things and prepare to leave, and Eli came to see her off.
"Everything?"
"Hmm." Lu Ling was carrying a small suitcase.
She didn't have a lot of things, they were all things that were necessary.
"You can only be busy by yourself here, and I will deal with domestic affairs as soon as possible. Some of the people I stayed here were left over from the beginning of the Doug family's power struggle, and they were all familiar with those affairs. β
Lu Ling said that there are a lot of people she left behind in the open and secret, even if she doesn't say it, she can find out one or two.
And the identities of some people she named, the Nawell family may take some into account when they want their people to intervene, especially when she sees that Eli is a person who values love and righteousness, and will not easily replace her own people.
In this way, when she comes back, there will not be any remaining power.
"I'll go back to China to find you when I'm done here." Eli looked at her with a somewhat heavy gaze.
"We'll talk about it then." Lu Ling didn't have time to greet him, so she was about to leave with her luggage.
As she reached the door, Eli grabbed her and hugged her as she looked up in disbelief.
"Uh." Lu Ling still didn't react.
"It'll be fine, call me when you go to China, and I'll also ask someone to find my uncle, you don't have to worry." Eli said, hugging her.
Listening to his words, Lu Ling felt a little strange in her heart.
She hasn't paid attention to this fiancΓ© all along, and she has always felt that the two will break up sooner or later, but he will always give herself some touch when she is inadvertent.
"Hmm." Lu Ling patted his arm, "Thank you." β
She was struggling to leave, and Eli had let go. Naturally, he pulled her luggage over and carried it in his hand.
"I'll take you to the airport."
At the same time as Lu Ling returned to China, Byron also received news that Lu Ran was missing, and he did not react.
Lu Ling arrived at the domestic airport, and Lu Ran's henchman Song Gui came to pick him up in person.
"Uncle Song."
Lu Ling didn't know much about Lu Ran's henchman, only that his father trusted him very much, and he took care of all things, so Lu Ling respectfully called him Uncle Song every time he saw him.
"Miss, I didn't expect to see you for a long time, you look so beautiful, but you are becoming more and more similar to the lord and the lady." Song Gui looked at her and smiled.
"Uncle Song has won the award."
"What happened to my father?"
The two got into the car, and Lu Ling couldn't wait to ask him about the cause and effect of Lu Ran's accident.
"After the boss returned to China to take charge of the overall situation, the situation was under control, and everything was normal. Then, when discussing business, the other party asked the boss to talk in person on the grounds that the transaction amount was too large. As soon as the boss thought it made sense, he took a few people to go in person, but he didn't expect to be ambushed on the way there. β
Lu Ling twisted her eyebrows, "How many bodyguards did you bring when you went out?" Did you send a few more cars out? β
Lu Ran was assassinated several times after returning to China, so he kept a low profile and was careful.
With his father's prudence, it was impossible to be kidnapped easily.
"Yes, three waves of people have gone out one after another, and all three have been ambushed, and only ours is the most serious ambush." Song Gui explained.
After speaking, he also showed Lu Ling the map and the day's travel route.
Lu Ling looked at the red arrows on the map, her brows furrowed.
"This is the agreed place to talk?" Lu Ling pointed to one place and asked?
"Yes, this is the largest club in the city, and many people will choose this place to talk about business, is there a problem?" Song Gui asked.
Lu Ling nodded, but did not express her suspicions. With her many years of experience, she can basically see the mystery of the map at a glance.
The place chosen by the other party is very clever, there are three roads that can lead to the place of the interview, and there are dead ends on all three roads, which is a good place for assassination.
I just don't know if this place was chosen by the other party by accident, or if it was done on purpose.
"What did the other party say after the accident?" Lu Ling put away the map and looked at Song Gui with twisted eyebrows.
"After the accident, I contacted you as soon as possible, and then informed the partner that the business could not be negotiated, and the boss had something to do temporarily. He complained at first, saying that it was too regrettable, and then agreed to talk about it next time he had time. β
The two of them said that they had arrived at the villa where Lu Ran had settled.
The two entered the villa, but Lu Ling's luggage was not sorted out, and Song Gui contacted the partner.
"Now that the boss hasn't been found, can you contact him at this time?"
"Didn't I come back? Now I'm in charge here, you contact the partner and ask him when he will have time to talk about cooperation. Lu Ling said lightly.
Although Song Gui didn't agree with Lu Ling's approach, he knew that he should listen to Lu Ling now, so he immediately called to make an appointment with the partner.
When Song Gui was busy, Lu Ling took a rough look at the other party's information.
One of the partners of Lu Ran's co-optation force contacted the Lu Ran organization after that force was destroyed, but later chose another partner, and suddenly broke the contract when he was about to sign the contract and reached a preliminary cooperation intention with Lu Ran.
Lu Ling's pen crossed the two words "ruin".
As long as the contract is not signed, it is nothing, but the other party is about to sign the contract before it is destroyed, which is a bit strange.
"Miss, the secretary of the other party said that their boss is busy." Song Gui came in and said.
"Busy?" Lu Ling had a faint smile on her mouth, obviously smiling but her smile didn't reach the bottom of her eyes.
"If you continue to contact, you can't keep busy, and you can't keep in touch until you contact the deity."
"Miss, do you suspect that they hurt the boss?" Song Gui saw that Lu Ling had been asking to contact the other party, but he still didn't understand what she meant.
"It's too early to say that they killed my father, and it depends on the investigation later. I'm just trying to meet him now. After all, my father wanted to cooperate with him, and now that my father is missing, I need to do it for him. Lu Ling had a faint smile on the corner of her mouth, making it impossible to figure out what she was thinking.
"Understood." Song Gui looked at Lu Ling with appreciation in his eyes.
"That's right, Uncle Song." Lu Ling put the document on the table and asked, "Who took the initiative to cooperate with this partner?" The above information shows that he once reached a cooperation with another family, and it has reached the point of signing a contract soon. β
"This is the boss's initiative." Song Gui thought for a moment and said.
"I co-opted the previous force before, and I thought that this partner would also reach an agreement with us, and I didn't want to be robbed by another family's concessions, and then the boss contacted him to want to cooperate and give up greater profits."
"And then they turned around and worked with us?"
"How can there be, he is still struggling, because his transaction is relatively large, so the other party refuses to let go, and has been bidding with us, the boss gave him the last offer, and then the two were about to sign the agreement and could not get along, so the other party contacted us."
"Huh." Lu Ling sneered, and the doubts in her heart were even heavier. I'm afraid it's not that simple.
"As I said, continue to contact him until we are contacted."
"Understood."
Song Gui was worried that the young lady was too young to support the overall situation in the country, but after a few days, he found that Lu Ling was more experienced in handling domestic affairs than Lu Ran, which made him willing to listen to Lu Ling's dispatch.
Song Guiyi contacted the partner for two days, but the secretary of the other party excused himself on the grounds that the boss was busy, and the partner refused to even answer the phone.
Song Gui began to be suspicious of his partner.
Later, Lu Ling personally went out to meet the other party, and the secretary answered the phone to the partner.
The collaborator is a middle-aged man in his forties.
As soon as the phone was connected, a hearty smile came from the other side, and Lu Ling politely said that she wanted to meet and discuss cooperation.
The other party first refused on the grounds that the business was to negotiate with Lu Ran.
Under Lu Ling's repeated persuasion, the other party said that he was now on a business trip abroad, and he refused to meet Lu Ling anyway.
Hanging up the phone, Lu Ling's doubts in her heart were even worse. I'm afraid this business was a game that led to lure in the way from the beginning.
"And what's next for Miss?" Song Gui asked.
