The garden dining room was bathed in bright afternoon sunlight, giving the garden a fresh and lively appearance.

Despite the pleasant ambiance, nobody at the table seemed particularly cheerful.

“What is it that you are unhappy about, Miss Du?” It was a question Sirius had to ask.

“Hmm… I am most open to negotiations. For me, the bigger question is this.” Du Tian took out a new lady’s cigarette, and her boyfriend sensibly lit it up. “Why look for me, President Lu? I’m just an ordinary actress. How would I know about my family’s business? Du Yi is the true heir. I’m just a little girl without a voice among those monsters.”

Lu Zhao’s eyebrows twitched. The ties that connected Du Tian to the powerful logistics family had been carefully concealed. He had put in a lot of effort looking into it.

The Du family consisted of three siblings. This elder sister was a true artist and had no business interest in taking over the family company. The outside world had always considered Du Yi to be the most popular heir due to the common belief that families typically selected males.

Lu Zhao, however, was aware that the head of the Du family had traditionally been a woman. He did not know why Du Tian had chosen to remain in the shadows, but there was ample evidence to suggest that she was the favored heir of the Du family.

Lu Zhao was accustomed to learning everything about anyone, friend or foe. It was the same this time.

It appears, however, that Lu Zhao’s investigation had already made Du Tian wary. It was Old Master Lu’s specialty to make traps look like deliciously attractive presents. The old man may have already reached her.

Lu Zhao was silent for a moment.

“Forgive me for my rudeness, but my intentions are sincere.” Lu Zhao gestured for Sirius to hand over a sealed document.

Du Tian nodded and smiled as she lightly tapped her fingers on the papers on the table. “It’s a collaboration. Of course, there’s no problem. But I still have a question. Why the keen interested in a foreign investor? As far as I am aware, your excellent tactics have already done significant damage to Golden Willow Capital’s operations. The danger should have passed, right?”

Sadly, that was not the case. What possible motivation could Lu Wen have had for teaming up with Golden Willow Capital?

After Lu Zhao resolved the issue with Zheng Ying, he did not kick back and relax. Instead, he ordered Sirius to keep an eye on Golden Willow Capital.

The outcomes confirmed Lu Zhao’s judgment.

The investigation conducted upon Golden Willow Capital shed light on a number of previously unclear occurrences. They had also instigated the car chase upon Luo Ying.

If they were serious about confronting Lu Zhao, though, they would have chosen a more sophisticated strategy than pursuing them by car. There was no reason to provoke Lu Zhao if they were not interested in becoming enemies with him.

To Lu Zhao, it seemed more like a probe.

“But why would they want to dip their toe in the water? We don’t have any dealings with their businesses. They do not have to be your enemies if they want to enter this market, right?” Sirius was perplexed.

“Have you found any paw prints from Old Master Lu?” Lu Zhao asked.

“No, Old Master Lu did not run into anyone from Golden Willow Capital during his travels. He also avoided all professional contacts,” Sirius said with certainty.

“Heh.” A sinister grin formed on Lu Zhao’s lips. “Is not the most abnormal thing to find that there is nothing out of the ordinary happening?”

Sirius was so taken aback that he almost ran a red light. “What do you mean? Do they know each other?”

“It is not just casual acquaintanceship, I am afraid.” A level-headed Lu Zhao summed up, “Golden Willow Capital may be associated with Old Master Lu’s international enterprise. A control freak like Old Master Lu would never let Lu Wen work with another group without his knowledge.

“In any case, Old Master Lu no longer has any ties to Golden Willow Capital. I do not see the point in trying to hide the connection if that is the case.” It was so spotless that not even Lu Zhao could find any traces.

Lu Zhao knew all of this, but he could not share these details with Du Tian.

“While I am unable to go into detail, I can assure you that our terms will not disappoint.” Lu Zhao flipped the file to a certain page. There was a section of highlighted text..
