Reborn in 85: Starting with a family split and becoming the richest man, the ungrateful wretch regre

Still shaken, Yao Lili instinctively looked again at the person she had just seen.

But she found that there were more and more people on the road, and the person she had just seen had long since disappeared into the crowd.

Am I seeing things?

Yao Lili fell into deep self-doubt.

Just then, the light turned green, so she had no choice but to drive to the factory first, and she was absent-minded all day.

When Lu Yang returned home that evening, Yao Lili had just put the food on the table.

The two sat at the table, and Lu Yang frowned after taking only one bite of food.

Yao Lili snapped out of her daze, took a bite of the food, and immediately spat it out: "Sorry, I added salt twice."

Lu Yang looked at her helplessly and asked, "What's wrong with you?"

Yao Lili put down her chopsticks, looking puzzled, and said, "I think I saw Lu Yao on the street today."

"But he disappeared in the blink of an eye. I think I must have been seeing things."

Lu Yang ladled out a bowl of soup, took a sip, and thankfully the soup wasn't too salty.

He laughed and said, "You might not be seeing things."

Yao Lili asked in shock, "Do you really think Lu Yao might not be dead?"

"Don't you find it strange? Lu Yaocai died after only a short time in prison."

Lu Yang analyzed with a serious expression: "I suspect someone got him out of there."

Yao Lili was somewhat shocked: "This must be quite difficult. Who would do something like this? Lu Yao doesn't seem like someone of that kind of value."

Lu Yang squinted and said, "I don't know either, but on the surface, Lu Yao is dead."

Where did you see him?

Yao Lili pointed to a place, and Lu Yang immediately called Zheng Wei.

Tell him to go to that place tomorrow and see if he can run into Lu Yao.

Although he thought the possibility was extremely slim, Lu Yao wasn't stupid.

He's already been exposed once, so he won't take that route again, but it's the only clue they have right now.

"Don't overthink it. We'll deal with whatever comes our way."

"He's legally a dead man now, so there's nothing for us to be afraid of."

Lu Yang comforted him.

Yao Lili smiled bitterly: "He was expelled from school and was almost penniless, yet he still managed to get two foreigners to buy our garment factory. I dare not underestimate him."

Lu Yang, on the other hand, was more easygoing. He felt that Lu Yao's most urgent task was to live a peaceful life, which was not easy for him.

For the next two weeks, Zheng Wei searched for Lu Yao's whereabouts.

But this person seemed to have vanished without a trace, and no clues about him could be found anymore.

Just then, with New Year's Day approaching, Lu Yang's business became increasingly busy, and Lin Hongshan also closed five big deals in a row.

Lu Yang and his colleagues had to work overtime at the garment factory, so he simply put the matter out of his mind for the time being.

About ten days before New Year's Day, Qian Jianyun called Lu Yang and invited him to go drinking.

When Lu Yang arrived, he found several construction site engineers and supervisors at the table.

"The weather is getting colder and the Chinese New Year is approaching, so the construction site plans to stop work."

"I'm treating everyone to a meal before the Lunar New Year, and I invited you to come along."

Qian Jianyun smiled and poured Lu Yang a glass of wine.

Lu Yao took a sip of his drink and said with a smile, "This is only possible in the South. In the North, we usually stop work in early November."

The group chatted and laughed for a while, and when they were almost finished eating, Lu Yang got up to go to the restroom.

As he was walking out of the restroom, he bumped into a foreigner.

Lu Yang apologized subconsciously, but when he looked up, he was taken aback.

This guy turned out to be the blond foreigner who had come to their clothing factory a few months ago, arrogantly demanding to buy their clothing brand.

Lu Yang frowned; he didn't have a good impression of this arrogant guy.

So he walked past the man and was about to leave when the foreigner was clearly a bit drunk.

He stopped Lu Yang and said in broken English, "Your shabby factory isn't big, but you're quite good at stealing business."

"If you know what's good for you, shut down that factory right away and don't get in our way."

Lu Yang looked at him coldly: "Do you even know this is China? Do you think it's your beautiful country?"

The blond foreigner laughed and said, "What's wrong with China? We can do whatever we want."

Lu Yang was so angry that his blood pressure was a little high. He was too lazy to waste words with this idiot, so he walked past him and quickly walked out.

As he reached the door, he could still hear the foreigner yelling, "You yellow-skinned devil, you really don't know what's good for you."

Lu Yang ignored him and walked straight out of the bathroom.

When he returned to the private room, Qian Jianyun and the others had almost finished eating.

The group had all drunk a bit too much, so Lu Yang and Qian Jianyun each sent someone to take them home.

Lu Yang went home and fell asleep immediately. When he woke up again, it was already the next morning.

He quickly washed up and rushed off to school.

I had just finished one class in the morning when two police officers came to the school to ask for Lu Yang.

Lu Yang found it a bit strange. He hadn't caused any trouble recently, so he couldn't understand why the police were targeting him.

He obediently got up and went to the office with the police.

Two police officers sat opposite him. One of them, who was wearing glasses, asked coldly, "Where were you between 8 and 9 pm last night?"

Although Lu Yang didn't know why the police were looking for him, he had a vague feeling that things seemed a bit bad.

He cautiously said, "I ate at Seafood Restaurant."

The two police officers continued to ask, "Did you see Herix along the way?"

Lu Yang asked in surprise, "I'm not quite sure what Herrix looks like. Is he the same foreigner I met?"

The police officer coldly produced a photograph; the photograph showed the blond, blue-eyed man.

This is the one who had a conflict with Lu Yang in the bathroom last night.

Lu Yang immediately replied truthfully, "I ran into him in the restroom last night. We had some conflicts before, so we didn't say anything nice to each other. We exchanged a few words and then parted ways. What happened?"

The bespectacled policeman stared at Lu Yang and continued, "He was attacked in the bathroom."

Lu Yang finally realized why these two had come to find him; they were probably investigating who had attacked the foreigner.

Lu Yang asked in surprise, "How is he now?"

The bespectacled police officer, his face stern, asked, "What's the grudge between you? Briefly explain."

Lu Yang told the truth about the foreigner wanting to buy his garment factory, and at the same time, he took out his Walkman.

He played the recording he made after meeting the foreigner the night before for the police.

The police were quite surprised; they hadn't expected Lu Yang to record the conversation.

The two police officers listened to the recording twice, then looked up at Lu Yang and asked, "Why did you think of recording it?"

Lu Yang helplessly spread his hands: "Doing business inevitably requires caution to avoid being framed."

"The fact that you came to me means that someone is trying to frame me, right? I was just protecting myself."

The two police officers gave Lu Yang a deep look. The officer with glasses said seriously, "We will continue to investigate this case, and we need to take this recording."
