Huang Jinghai raised his eyebrows slightly. He had long suspected that He Yunwei was from the underworld and ruthless, but he hadn't expected her to be so insidious.

But this involved their shared interests, and he also wanted to get involved in the mall's business, so he had no choice but to cooperate with He Yunwei.

I just hope he doesn't go too far. If things come to light, he has to find a way to extricate himself from the situation and absolutely cannot let He Yunwei implicate him.

Isn't He Yunwei thinking the same thing?

He just didn't say it out loud. Huang Jinghai was the most reliable scapegoat he could find. His family background was good enough to cover for him, and his methods were naive.

Each with their own thoughts, neither of them continued the topic, waiting for news from Hongtu Architectural Design Company.

Half an hour later, the person He Yunwei sent out called him back.

“Brother Yun, Lu Yang did indeed sign a contract here, allowing this construction company to take over the entire renovation project of the mall.”

His younger brother said hurriedly.

He Yunwei narrowed his eyes and immediately ordered, "Go and find out who is in charge of this project right now."

His younger brother quickly responded and went back to work. He Yunwei couldn't help but sigh, feeling that his younger brother was really not clever enough.

When you were asking about things earlier, couldn't you have also asked who was in charge of this project?

They just follow orders step by step, as if they can't think independently.

Huang Jinghai seemed to see through his thoughts and calmly said, "People are prone to laziness, and besides, they haven't even started construction yet. We have to wait patiently for a few more days. There's no rush."

He Yunwei thought it made sense, so he immediately calmed down, picked up his wine glass, and clinked it with Huang Jinghai's.

He said with a smile, "Whether we can defeat Lu Yang this time depends on the two of us. You'd better put in the effort."

Huang Jinghai knew that this guy wanted to drag him into the mess and help him share the risks.

"Then I'll keep an eye on Li Chen for you."

After thinking for a moment, he chose the most relaxed thing to say.

He Yunwei sneered: "I'll handle Li Chen's matter myself. You keep an eye on Cheng Lin, Lu Yang's underling."

"This guy has a wide circle of friends, and Lu Yang has many business dealings here in cooperation with him. The two are deeply intertwined."

Huang Jingwei breathed a sigh of relief and nodded solemnly. As long as he couldn't directly confront Lu Yang, dealing with the others would be no problem.

He has a pretty good intuition; he knew that dealing with Lu Yang would definitely go wrong, so he decided to let He Yunwei handle such a dangerous task.

He Yunwei stroked his chin, pondering how to get the project manager of Hongtu Architectural Design Company to compromise if he was a tough nut to crack.

Lu Yang was completely unaware of this. He and Lu Yang went to find Li Chen, who was still at the Perfume Bar.

However, Li Chen was clearly waiting for Lu Yang. Lu Yang walked over with a smile and recounted the events of the past two days.

Li Chen listened to him in silence, then curled the corners of his lips and sneered, "He Yunwei is the most insidious. Now he's hooked up with the director of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. He must be very bold. He might just rip you off."

Lu Yang thought for a moment and said, "I'm planning to renovate the mall right now. Is he going to tamper with the renovation?"

Li Chen stroked his chin, a cold glint flashing in his eyes: "Not only that, this guy never uses just one move; he usually likes to use a series of moves."

"Once he makes a move, he'll definitely trap you completely, unless you can know his plans in advance."

Judging from Li Chen's gritted teeth, you can tell that he must have been tricked by He Yunwei in the past. In his previous life, Li Chen was defeated by He Yunwei, so He Yunwei should not be underestimated.

Lu Yang stroked his chin and asked in a low voice, "Who is He Yunwei closest to in this circle of second-generation officials?"

Li Chen thought for a moment and said a name: "Huang Jinghai".

Lu Yang turned to Cheng Lin and asked, "Have you heard of this person?"

He didn't stay in the provincial capital for long and wasn't familiar with the people in the circle of children of officials.

He had the most contact with Shen Xuwen, but he heard that the guy had gone to the south, probably to find Lu Qing.

Cheng Lin thought for a moment and said, "I've heard of this person. He's a spoiled brat who does nothing all day. He's not as proper as Shen Xuwen."

Li Chen shook his head: "Huang Jinghai isn't as bad as you say. In terms of intelligence, he's much better than Shen Xuwen."

"I heard he also wanted to go south to do business, but his father stopped him."

“His father was a rather old-fashioned man who wanted him to pursue a career in government, but he wasn’t interested in government and was secretly doing business and was very wealthy.”

Lu Yang narrowed his eyes. Huang Jinghai must have relied on his family's influence, but there was no denying that this guy was much more difficult to deal with than Shen Xuwen.

He's not easy to deal with on his own, let alone with He Yunwei added to the mix.

Cheng Lin thought for a moment and said, "How about I try to hold off Huang Jinghai while the two of you deal with He Yunwei? I think He Yunwei is more difficult to deal with."

Lu Yang smiled and said, "I'm afraid they've already started making their move."

"Ji Kang, the project manager in charge of the mall renovation, sent me a message saying that someone had threatened him and asked him to tamper with the construction."

He fiddled with the pager in his hand and couldn't help but squint.

He Yunwei and his gang were even more cunning than Lu Yang had imagined. Lu Yang was still hoping to compete fairly with them, but they were already planning to use dirty tricks on him.

Just then, two men ran in from outside.

One of the men glanced at Li Chen, then at Lu Yang, and said, "He Yunwei is spreading rumors outside, saying that Lu Yang got this project through nepotism."

"Because Shen Xuwen's mistress is Lu Yang's cousin, that's also a fact."

Lu Yang's lips twitched. He never expected that the trap he had set for Shen Xuwen and Lu Qing back then would now fall into himself.

But since things have come to this point, we must do this job well, otherwise the rumor will really come true.

Often, facts speak louder than words, provided that you don't make mistakes at work.

Lu Yang muttered with some doubt, "They're quite well-informed. I just finalized the architectural design company yesterday, and they already know about it today. They're moving so quickly."

Cheng Lin said with a somewhat grim expression, "Could it be that someone deliberately leaked it?"

"It's either Shen Xuwen or Lan Siqi, it can't be either of them."

After careful analysis, Lu Yang said, "Lan Siqi is more likely. Shen Xuwen is only thinking about Lu Qing and has no intention of plotting against me."

Li Chen's colleague scratched his head, looking rather bewildered, and said, "That Miss Lan probably doesn't have time either. The Lan family sent her to the hospital this morning, and she didn't return until almost noon. I don't know what happened."

Li Chen chuckled and turned to another colleague beside him: "Go and find out why Lan Siqi is hospitalized."
