Forced marriage by a substitute bride? The spoiled son of a prominent Beijing socialite! His whole f

"Does Second Master Bo mean that I should compete with Bo Siheng?"

Lu Yanzhe stared at the list of personnel, his expression calm but his eyes showing surprise.

It seems that Bo Yuanzhou has indeed made thorough preparations; he really has no intention of showing any mercy to his own nephew.

But that has nothing to do with him.

As a partner, all he needs to do is accept his share of the profits.

"President Lu, you are Bo Siheng's biggest competitor, and also the person he fears the most."

Bo Yuanzhou's flattery of Lu Yanzhe was genuine.

Although he refused to admit he was getting old, he knew that today's young people had their own set of rules for doing things, and were no less ruthless than he had been back then, and perhaps even more so.

One woman was enough to fuel their growing animosity.

Bo Yuanzhou knew long ago that He Yan was a variable.

Since she married into the Bo family, Bo Siheng, who was originally lifeless, seemed to have grown flesh and blood again.

Gone was the deathly appearance; instead, he became even more ruthless.

He tried to take action many times, but He Yan thwarted his plans.

Such a woman, who posed a threat to him, had to be eliminated if he could not tame her.

But by sheer chance, he discovered Lu Yanzhe's secret.

It's as if even God is on his side.

Even if Bo Siheng finds a miracle doctor this time, it will be too late to save him!

“Bo Siheng cares most about the development of this piece of land in Xicheng, but I have already arranged for people to ensure that he will not be able to complete it smoothly. If President Lu steps in to challenge him, it will be like holding his lifeline in his hands.”

"Furthermore, if He Yan knew that you controlled Bo Siheng's life and death, how far would she go to plead for him?"

Bo Yuanzhou's eyes gleamed with a cunning and calculating light.

He knew that Lu Yanzhe couldn't possibly remain unmoved.

Lu Yanzhe's eyes flickered slightly as he thought about how He Yan had come to beg him for Bo Siheng's sake, and he was indeed deeply moved.

But this means that they have officially broken off relations.

"I understand what Master Bo means."

Lu Yanzhe smiled, which could be considered as tacit agreement.

“That piece of land in Xicheng is too big; Bo Siheng can’t possibly handle it all by himself. So I’ll go and bid another day, using the best materials and offering a discounted price to compete with him for this project.”

In this way, the government will waver between the Bo family and the Lu family.

Bo Siheng will surely lose his composure.

"Haha, with President Lu's promise, I'm relieved."

Having achieved his goal, Bo Yuanzhou left satisfied.

Lu Yanzhe didn't see him off. Instead, he picked up his cup, took a sip of tea, and looked at the sky outside the courtyard.

His initial hesitation turned into determination when he thought of He Yan coming to beg him.

He knew that his heart had been controlled by greed.

He was determined to get He Yan!

"Xiaoze, tell Grandma, have you decided to officially confront the Bo family? Is it because of Xiaoyan?"

At this moment, Madam Lu, Yan Lihua, appeared at the courtyard gate.

She knows her grandson well; once he sets his mind on something, he'll stick to it to the end.

Lu Yanzhe never intended to keep it a secret.

He got up and went over to help his grandmother sit down in the pavilion.

"Grandma, I don't want to endure it anymore."

Lu Yanzhe felt regret, but more than that, he felt resentment. He had known He Yan for much longer than Bo Siheng.

The two companies are evenly matched and both are at the pinnacle of their respective industries; he is no less capable than Bo Siheng.

But fate, by a twist of fate, has led to the current situation.

"If I want to win He Yan's heart, I have to be proactive and assertive so that she can't refuse me. I can't stand seeing Bo Siheng still occupying He Yan's heart even though they are divorced."

"Have you thought this through? This is a very extreme decision."

Madam Lu knew she couldn't persuade her grandson.

She was just worried that Bo Yuanzhou wasn't worth cooperating with.

The Lu family and the Bo family have been fighting openly and secretly for decades, and she and Yao Shuyun have also been fighting for most of their lives, all for the sake of their respective families' continuation, and also because they both harbored a deep-seated resentment.

She felt jealous when she learned that He Yan had become a daughter-in-law of the Bo family.

More than anything, he felt he had lost to Yao Shuyun.

"He Yan is proud. If you succeed, everyone will be happy. If you fail, you may lose her forever."

Lu Yanzhe's expression froze for a moment, but he did not back down; instead, his resolve only grew stronger.

How could he not understand He Yan's personality?

But that's precisely why he was even more attracted to her.

"I'm not a good person to begin with, and even if I have to resort to extreme measures, I don't want to keep hurting myself."

"Sigh, it's up to you to decide."

In the end, Madam Lu still loved her grandson more.

It's true that he likes He Yan, but it's not contradictory to want to use her to win Yao Shuyun's heart.

In short, the Lu family's return to Beijing this time was also a preparation to compete with the Bo family.

For Lu Yanze's sake, and for the sake of the Lu family, she had to step forward.

As usual, He Yan went to inspect the He family's pharmaceutical factory. Li Guanghui was not there, and everything seemed normal.

He was still on sick leave, and no one at the pharmaceutical company suspected anything.

Perhaps there are still pawns planted by Li Guanghui here, but they haven't been discovered yet.

She couldn't help but be a little surprised.

Is Li Guanghui too trusting of He Yiyi alone?

Or is the other side also planning something big?

If that's the case, she needs to be more careful with her arrangements. Not only should she thwart Li Guanghui's conspiracy before he does, but she should also work with the Medical Bureau to bring him to justice.

"Manager He, General Manager He said that from now on, these decisions will be submitted to you for signature."

The assistant knocked on the door and entered He Yan's office.

This was He Zhengyuan's arrangement, and it was also meant to be seen by others.

They all understood who would be in charge of the pharmaceutical company in the future.

"Put it down, let me take a look first, and I'll tell you after I sign it."

He Yan simply nodded, her gaze returning to her laptop screen.

In the hacker group, the underlings are reporting information.

“Ace, through our investigation, we found several doctors who were removed from the medical board twenty years ago. Moreover, their personal information and resumes from that time have also been deleted by the authorities. If there are no surprises, they have definitely become unlicensed doctors.”

"Their distribution is irregular, but they are all in some rural towns."

Lin An'an also replied in the group.

"They can't be seen by people, so they have to hide."

"Not only that, the raw materials they use to make illegal drugs can't be seen by anyone either, so hiding is the safest option."

He Yan knew what these people had done before; they were just going back to their old ways.

"An'an, send more people to investigate the local area thoroughly, especially the situation of patients in those towns and villages in recent years, and see if there are any commonalities. Their human experiments are unlikely to stop."

"Oh! I see, you want to investigate whether there are still people being used for drug trials!"

Lin An'an also instantly realized that this was something those quack doctors would do.

They make money by selling medicine, so they have to test its effectiveness.

Disgusting! These people are disgusting!

"Don't worry, I will definitely find out the truth about these things."

"Ah."

He Yan closed the chat window and sat down to rest.

She was wondering what Li Guanghui would do next; only by understanding his movements could she prevent things from happening in the first place.

Although He Yiyi has not been kicked out of the He family yet, she has already lost the hearts of the people.

So, what will she do?

Just then, her phone rang, and she saw an unexpected name.

"Madam Lu, what brings you here?"
