Regarding all the events happening in the research institute, Lu Yu and Leng Qingqiu were still unaware. At this moment, the two of them slowly arrived inside the manor, just in time to see Leng Qingqiu's father, Leng Huai Xin, sitting in the garden with a book in hand, leisurely reading.

Nowadays, Leng Huai Xin is quite at ease. After all, the large Victory Group is thriving under Leng Qingqiu's management. Now, Leng Huai Xin only needs to oversee major decisions without worrying about the details.

"Father, Lu Yu is here"

Seeing Leng Huai Xin like this, Leng Qingqiu spoke softly, her words as calm as ever, akin to a placid well with no ripples.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing Leng Qingqiu's words, Leng Huai Xin was slightly surprised, then closed the book in his hand. Upon seeing Lu Yu, a smile appeared on his face: "Lu Yu, you came."

"Uncle"

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu smiled slightly at Leng Huai Xin and then spoke, with a touch of amusement in his tone.

Seeing Lu Yu, Leng Huai Xin pointed to a seat next to him and said with a smile, "Don't just stand there foolishly, sit down, so we can have a good chat."

"Thank you, Uncle"

Upon hearing Leng Huai Xin's words, Lu Yu didn't refuse and sat right next to him.

After all, the Lu Family originally had a good relationship with the Leng Family, and excessive politeness would indeed seem overly distant.

"You two chat, I'm going back to my room."

Seeing Lu Yu sit next to Leng Huai Xin, Leng Qingqiu spoke softly and started walking towards her room, appearing as usual, very indifferent.

However, just as Leng Qingqiu walked past Lu Yu, her gaze lingered on him for a few minutes, showing a hint of a different expression in her eyes.

This expression carried doubt, with an indescribable sense of loss within that doubt.

However, this expression was fleeting and left no trace, not attracting anyone's attention.

"Ah, Qingqiu is like this, naturally more indifferent than other girls, you have to be more accommodating when you're with her."

Accustomed to Leng Qingqiu's indifference, Leng Huai Xin remained rather calm about her behavior at this moment.

"It's okay, Uncle"

Hearing Leng Huai Xin's words, Lu Yu chuckled and said, "She's always been this way, I've gotten used to it."

There was a calmness in Lu Yu's tone. Leng Qingqiu had been like this for five years, and till now, her demeanor and personality had indeed not changed a bit.

Hearing this, Leng Huai Xin smiled slightly, looked at Lu Yu, nodded, and said, "Lu Yu, tell me honestly, are you investigating the events that happened to your Lu Family back then?"

Suddenly, Leng Huai Xin spoke with an air of questioning, clearly aware of something.

This statement made Lu Yu's body pause slightly, then he looked at Leng Huai Xin and spoke in a low tone, "Uncle..."

In his words, Lu Yu's tone was flat, without any fluctuations.

Although inwardly he was quite shocked, his face showed no expression.

Because he didn't know why Leng Huai Xin would suddenly say such a thing.

Hearing Lu Yu's low tone, Leng Huai Xin smiled slightly and said, "Actually, this was just my guess. Last time Qingqiu asked me if I knew about the business interactions with your Lu Family back then, and that's when I started thinking in this direction."

As he spoke, Leng Huai Xin showed a profound smile, looked at Lu Yu, and said, "I know the events back then were a heavy blow to you, and you want to find out the truth and clarify things."

"But!"

At this point, Leng Huai Xin's voice suddenly became solemn, "Lu Yu, you must consider the consequences!"

"Back then, your Lu Family was even more powerful than our Leng Family."

As he spoke, Leng Huai Xin showed a trace of reminiscence and said calmly, "I won't say much about the specifics of the Lu Family's events. I believe you know better than I do."

"Think about it, how powerful must someone be to bring down such a large family overnight without any prior signs?"

Now, Leng Huai Xin, seemingly a benign elder, spoke to Lu Yu with words filled with advice.

Hearing Leng Huai Xin's words, Lu Yu nodded in agreement.

There's no denying that Leng Huai Xin's words made sense. Based on what Lu Yu currently knew, the fall of his Lu Family indeed hints at a massive mastermind behind the scenes!

Although he agreed, Lu Yu merely agreed!

For an ordinary person, discovering such a hidden truth is an extremely difficult task, but Lu Yu is no longer an ordinary person!

Lu Yu has now entered the second phase, his strength formidable. Now, he has both the capability and the ability to investigate this matter!

Though he thought this way, Lu Yu did not show it. Currently, he did not want to easily expose his identity or reveal his abilities.

Therefore, under such a premise, Lu Yu smiled slightly and said, "You're right, Uncle. Even if I want to investigate, I don't have the capability right now."

In his words, Lu Yu spoke with a hint of helplessness, as if he truly was powerless.

"Hmm, I think your parents wouldn't want you to risk yourself either."

As he spoke, Leng Huai Xin took out a storage card, placed it in front of Lu Yu, and said calmly, "Although the investigation might not be feasible, it's still good to know a little."

"This storage card contains the subsequent information on the Lu Family's assets after they were taken over. I've been keeping a close watch over the years. If you're interested, you can take it home to look."

His words were filled with calm, making him seem quite amiable.

Subsequent information on the Lu Family's assets!?

Hearing this, a slight, almost imperceptible glimmer appeared in Lu Yu's eyes!

Based on past investigation information, Lu Yu now knew that his family's assets were jointly swallowed and divided by the Jin Family, the Gu Family, and several other families!

And now, having the subsequent information on his family's assets being taken over, it is very likely to uncover clues about the next family!
