Chapter 404 Spider

"You have a crush on me?"

After seeing Ye Sanqing and the others leave, Fu Sizhou went into the lounge, unceremoniously took a cigar and started smoking, then poured himself a glass of wine.

Then he casually said to Lu Wangshen.

"You're a bit narcissistic."

Lu Wangshen commented.

"Then how come I heard you want this style?"

Fu Sizhou stood up, placed one hand on the back of Lu Wangshen's hand which was resting on the armrest of his wheelchair, and looked down at him.

It's not surprising that Lu Wangshen knew he was coming.

Fu Sizhou believed that with Lu Wangshen's keen senses, he could tell who it was just by listening to the footsteps.

So he actually knew that Lu Wangshen had said that on purpose, but he just felt confused. What was the point of saying this now after he had already rejected him?

He was a bit taller and bigger than Lu Mingye, so his action should have been quite intimidating, but Lu Wangshen just wanted to laugh.

Ye Sanqing was already quite imposing just sitting there. Do all the people in your Fu family have developed a habit of posing?

Oh, besides Fu Shaochen, this kid is kind of interesting.

Lu Wangshen then laughed to himself, completely ignoring Fu Sizhou.

"Speak. Or are you planning to use this against me?"

In reality... Fu Sizhou certainly didn't hold his hand down because he wanted to get close to him.

Lu Wangshen's wheelchair contains hidden weapons...

His hand, seemingly casually placed there, could fire a deadly weapon if pressed down on a certain spot on the surface.

As for why Fu Sizhou knew...

He'd seen this kind of scene before.

“It’s a waste to deal with you, and you don’t need to be so afraid. Let me go.”

Lu Wangshen used his free hand to flip his hand away, and said, "Is this your house or mine? You didn't even pour me a glass of wine."

Fu Sizhou looked at him for a while, making sure he wouldn't suddenly go crazy and use hidden weapons to hurt people, before turning around to pour him some wine.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

Fu Sizhou saw that he seemed to be in a better mood after drinking, so he spoke.

“What are you referring to? If you mean this,” Lu Wangshen gestured with his neck, “isn’t it obvious?”

Fu Sizhou understood the logic, but he just couldn't stand others touching what was his...

"Hey, look at that face. Who told you not to be here? If you care so much, why don't you spend all your time with him?"

Lu Wangshen sneered repeatedly.

He was very clear about the relationship between Lu Mingye and Fu Sizhou.

If someone is skilled in surveillance and networks, then they can know a great deal.

However, Lu Wangshen knew that the cause of this matter was not because of this, but because... Fu Sizhou initially approached him, and he refused.

Fu Sizhou... is indeed a person without any bottom line. He will do anything to climb the ladder.

Using one's own body? That's a trivial matter.

Lu Wangshen weighed the pros and cons and concluded that this was not conducive to his strategy of biding his time, so he turned around and pushed Lu Mingye to the other party.

Indeed, Lu Wangshen is equally unscrupulous and capable of doing anything, but he will always strive to gain the greatest benefit at the lowest cost.

For him, being unable to walk is a huge disadvantage in intimate relationships, and he won't put himself in a position where he's controlled.

Moreover, he prefers to be a spider weaving its web behind the scenes rather than standing in the spotlight.

However, Lu Mingye was unaware of this.

He might know, but he'll definitely pretend he doesn't.

So, what's the meaning behind Fu Sizhou's sudden display of affection here?

"That's not how it works. Anyway, what I wanted to ask was, did you two both work with her?"

Fu Sizhou didn't dwell on the issue too much.

He knew very well that Lu Wangshen was just going crazy, and Lu Mingye... although they were very harmonious in cooperation and other aspects, ultimately, they were not in a formal relationship.

"Yes, we've partnered. Don't you want to?"

Lu Wangshen picked up his wine glass, took a sip of wine, and then spoke.

"It's not that I don't want to, but... how can I possibly cooperate with the Ye family?"

Fu Sizhou's words were quite profound.

Both the Lu family and the Fu family have businesses operating in the gray area, but the Lu family is involved in organized crime, while the Fu family is not.

But the Ye family are, after all,... legitimate businessmen.

Small-scale cooperation is fine, and some superficial business overlap is normal. The Fu family and the Gong family also have business dealings.

However... Fu Sizhou knew that Lu Mingye was going to create the illusion of pursuing Ye Sanqing, but with Lu Wangshen involved, he had to think more carefully.

If they were plotting something here, Fu Sizhou couldn't help but suspect that he was their next target.

Furthermore, with Fu Shao Chen's appearance, he couldn't be so naive as to believe that Fu Shao Chen was truly lacking family love and that's why he suddenly appeared.

"Isn't it enough to have a grudge against Lu Wangqian?"

Lu Wangshen said it very casually.

He personally had no intention of dealing with the Fu family. If Fu Sizhou had worked hard on his personal relationships... he believed that Lu Mingye would not have taken the initiative to deal with the Fu family.

As for what Ye Sanqing thinks...

Even someone as shrewd and calculating as Lu Wangshen couldn't fathom what this woman was thinking.

The other party was too direct, rendering his carefully prepared strategies useless. He felt ashamed of his own behavior just now.

Fortunately, the result was acceptable, so the details became less important.

Besides, what does the Fu family have to do with him?

Lu Wangshen wished he could destroy everyone equally, so of course he wasn't kind enough to share his analysis with Fu Sizhou.

"It's that simple...?"

Fu Sizhou certainly didn't think that Lu Mingye would betray him immediately.

But ultimately, there is no such thing as 100% trust in this world.

But no matter what, Ye Sanqing doesn't seem like the kind of person who would target Lu Wangqian for something as trivial as Ye Wanyin.

In other words, Lu Mingye has a sufficient reason to take action, and Lu Wangshen has no problem either. So what is Ye Sanqing's role in this?

It can't just be for fun, can it?

"Yes, what should you do? You're really troubled even though you have no grudge against him, aren't you?"

Lu Wangshen said, seemingly troubled, "Why don't you go and sleep with Ye Wanyin now? He'll definitely hate you."

"...Do I really have to be so tasteless?"

Fu Sizhou didn't know whether he was referring to the behavior itself as tasteless, or to choosing Ye Wanyin as his target as tasteless...

"Don't try to trick me into doing what you want. I already have a grudge against Lu Wangqian because I was with Mingye."

"Well, I have trouble walking and I always want to be lazy. Please forgive me."

Lu Wangshen certainly didn't expect to actually fool him.

"You have difficulty walking...?"

Fu Sizhou had only said it casually, but he didn't expect Lu Wangshen to actually have such a conspiracy.

"No, why did you let me know about this?"

"Haha, you're an accomplice now. What are you going to do? Why don't you go and tell Lu Wangqian right now?"

Lu Wangshen laughed, not at all like someone about to commit a crime.

"Am I crazy? You're all targeting him, why would I stand with him?"

Fu Sizhou shook his head.

"The question is, don't you want your South American routes anymore?"

"Ugh."

Fu Sizhou sighed.

It's not that I don't want him, it's just that Lu Wangqian isn't the right person, but things are a bit complicated here.

It's true that relying on pirates doesn't make money, but not relying on pirates makes even less money... Fu Sizhou once suspected that Lu Wangqian's fees were too high, but he couldn't do anything about it for the time being.

This matter only came to him after he took over the Fu family, and it was like a ticking time bomb.

One way to deal with bombs is to detonate them directly, but can they afford the consequences of that explosion?

In short, there are many pirates, and they don't necessarily have to be Lu Wangqian's forces.

He'd rather avoid confronting the Ye family domestically than face them directly.

Moreover, the Ye family had previously purchased a dock...

On its own, this is nothing special; it's a normal investment activity. But Fu Shaochen…

Fu Sizhou pressed his temples, feeling a headache coming on.

Although he managed to keep Fu Shao Chen calm today, and the other party seemed to be cooperating with him, he knew that there was still endless trouble ahead.

Lu Wangshen remained silent, seemingly lost in thought.

For a moment, a rare peace was achieved between the two.
