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

Li Rongguo thought for a moment and said, "This price is definitely enough. If you have time, we can sign the contract."

Lu Yang was naturally delighted, and the two parties immediately drafted an agreement and invited a lawyer to sign the contract.

After both parties confirmed that everything was correct, Lu Yang wrote Li Rongguo a check for 100 million yuan.

Lu Yang asked casually, "How's your horse farm doing?"

Li Rongguo rolled his eyes, looking quite annoyed.

Lu Yang looked at Li Rongqing next to him with a puzzled expression. Li Rongqing sighed and said, "His family doesn't agree with him opening a horse farm."

"Don't you have anything else to do for the time being? Why don't you come and run a restaurant? I can find someone to teach you how to run it. If you don't want to work for me anymore in the future, you can go out and do something else."

Li Rongguo thought about it and was actually quite tempted.

His downfall was that he had never done business before, and when he rashly made a big deal, it was easy to lose money.

But now his father is no longer planning to invest money in him, letting him try and fail.

He was already worried about this matter, so since Lu Yang was willing to help, he naturally agreed.

Three days later, Lu Yang changed the signboard of the store opened by Li Rongguo to a food and beverage bar, and all the relevant procedures were completed. The third branch officially opened.

Lu Yang acted very quickly, and by the time he had opened three stores, there was still no news from Lu Yao.

This guy huddled in a dark corner like a turtle, refusing to show his face no matter what.

Unfortunately, he was very familiar with the terrain there, and the police and Lu Yang's bodyguards went there several times but couldn't find him.

If all the entrances to the city hadn't been blocked by the police, Lu Yang would have thought he would have already escaped.

He subtly inquired with the police to see if they knew who Lu Yao had been in contact with.

The police felt that this information was related to the case and that it was inconvenient to disclose it to others.

Lu Yang was speechless, but he couldn't say anything. He could only try to find out indirectly whether Lu Jianjun had confessed.

Li Rongguo made a special trip to inquire about it, and when he returned, he was shocked to say, "Lu Jianjun is quite a character. He didn't sleep for four days and four nights after he went in, but he still couldn't find out where Lu Yao was. Three waves of police officers who were watching him have already left."

Lu Yang was speechless. He knew he shouldn't have expected Lu Jianjun to sell Lu Yao. Lu Jianjun could sell anyone in his life except Lu Yao.

Lu Yang was at a loss for what to do, so he simply focused on his own task at hand.

Two weeks later, Lu Jianjun was sentenced to five years in prison for human trafficking, but he took all the blame and refused to reveal Lu Yao's whereabouts.

Upon hearing this news, Lu Yang felt somewhat annoyed. He never expected that Lu Yao could hide for so long.

The city wasn't very big to begin with, and Lu Yao was from out of town, so Lu Yang couldn't figure out where he had gone.

He planned to give the police some advice, suggesting they start their investigation with that illegal nightclub; perhaps they could find some clues.

Lu Yang relayed this information, and the police only adopted the suggestion; as for whether they would actually carry it out, Lu Yang was unsure.

The police are professionals; perhaps they have a better way.

Two days later, the police sent word that they had caught several human traffickers who hadn't managed to escape.

Through their confession, we learned that they had a road leading out of the city from the mountains.

They had originally planned to leave, but the police were keeping a close watch on them, so they had no choice but to stay.

The police urged these people to lead the way, as they needed to check out that road.

Even the locals don't know much about this place, because the road was created by the human traffickers themselves.

Lu Yang had two bodyguards follow along to familiarize themselves with the route, as he suspected that Lu Yao had escaped along this road.

Although they were careful, they must have come by public transportation, and even if they rented a car, they would have left their rental information.

Once the police find the route he took, they should be able to follow the trail and find more clues.

Lu Yang was busy with his business in Shandong when he happened to run into two clients one night who invited him to have drinks together.

In order to attract business, he agreed.

Both of them were locals, one of whom worked in a government agency. Lu Yang ate and chatted with them, and even gave them two dishes as gifts.

Both of them were quite talkative, and Lu Yang learned a lot about the local situation from them. They chatted for so long that he lost track of time.

By the time he came to his senses, it was almost 9 p.m.

It was freezing cold outside in the dead of winter, and after 9 o'clock, there weren't many people on the street.

After the restaurant closed, Lu Yang left with the two diners.

He had a bodyguard with him, so he wasn't too worried about his personal safety. The two of them drove towards the hotel.

Just as the car reached an intersection, a truck suddenly rushed out from the right and crashed into Lu Yang and his car. At that moment, there were only the two of them on the entire road.

The bodyguard reacted quickly; he immediately turned the car around and, just as the truck was about to hit them, he swiftly moved the car and the truck aside.

Lu Yang was nearly thrown out of the car. He quickly grabbed the seat and said to the bodyguard, "Let's go."

The bodyguard immediately turned the car around and sped off towards the hotel.

The truck driver immediately caught up, and Lu Yang looked back.

As the headlights flashed by, Lu Yang saw Lu Yao sitting in the passenger seat of the truck, staring intently at their vehicle.

"It really is that bastard." He gritted his teeth, knowing that Lu Yao hadn't run away. This guy was ruthless and would definitely not let Lu Yang off easily.

Especially after what happened before, this guy has completely fallen into depravity.

If he could commit human trafficking, killing someone wouldn't be difficult for him either.

Lu Yang took out his mobile phone and immediately called the police. He briefly explained the situation to me.

The police immediately replied, "We will arrive as soon as possible."

"Hang in there, the police are on their way," Lu Yang said to his bodyguard.

The bodyguard kept his eyes fixed on the road ahead, which was constantly turning, because the truck behind him was driving very fast.

If he hadn't kept dodging, the truck could have rear-ended him at any moment.

They're driving so fast now, if they get rear-ended by a truck, this car will definitely overturn.

Lu Yang dared not bother the bodyguards any longer, and instead used his mobile phone to report their current location to the police along the way.

The truck behind them chased after them like a madman. Just when Luo Yang thought they were about to be driven to the brink of despair, a car suddenly drove back from the front.

The car's headlights shone directly in their faces, and the bodyguards instinctively swerved the steering wheel to avoid the car in front, narrowly avoiding crashing into the roadside guardrail.

Lu Yang quickly grabbed his seatbelt, turned to his bodyguard, and asked, "Are you alright?"

The bodyguard said calmly, "It's nothing."

As he spoke, he started the car again and sped off.
