Chapter 1497: Disaster

As Lu Youmi gradually narrated, Ye Tianlong began to understand the Lu family's plight.

Lu Fengshou married three women in his life.

His first wife was Lu Youmi’s mother. She gave birth to Lu Youmi, who weighed six pounds and eight taels, but she herself died due to massive bleeding and medical conditions.

The second wife was Lu Youmi's aunt. After she married into the Lu family, she took good care of Lu Youmi as she grew up. She was not a biological mother, but she was like a biological mother.

But she also died in a car accident three years ago.

The third wife was whom Lu Fengshou met two years ago when he was in Manchuria. Her name was Wei Yuerong, and she was the owner of an antique shop covering an area of ​​more than 30 square meters.

After the Lu family's business became prosperous, Lu Fengshou not only bought properties in the Black Triangle and Manguo, but also began to use money to buy some antiques to preserve their value.

In the past few years, Lu Fengshou has purchased at least 500 million antique calligraphy and paintings. When he met Wei Yuerong in Manguo, he just wanted to buy some antiques for storage.

Lu Fengshou was about to trade with an antique dealer at the time. At the critical moment, he was reminded of the counterfeit goods by Wei Yuerong, thus avoiding a loss of more than 20 million yuan.

It was precisely because of this incident that Lu Fengshou not only purchased more than 10 million jade stones from Wei Yuerong's shop, but also made her the third wife of the Lu family.

After coming to the Lu family, Wei Yuerong was not only capable and experienced, but also humble and polite. He kept the entire Lu family in order, and even Uncle Mi had a lot of leisure.

Wei Yuerong also continued to please Lu Youmi, eating and drinking at the best prices, but she dressed in ordinary clothes, which made the Lu family more and more happy with her.

Lu Fengshou also praised and trusted her very much. He left many things at home, including the company's finances and antique collection, to her to take care of.

However, this harmony was shattered two months ago.

Lu Fengshou wanted to give Wei Yuerong a surprise on her birthday, so he had people prepare wine, food and cakes to celebrate when she came back from the company.

However, after waiting for a long time and no one was seen, Wei Yuerong received a message that she would return home late to clear the goods. Lu Fengshou cherished her for working so hard that she forgot her birthday.

So he went to the company in person with gifts and cakes, hoping to give Wei Yuerong a good birthday at the company.

Hearing this, Ye Tianlong said: "As a result, Mr. Lu went there and found that the third lady not only failed to clear the goods, but was also in love with someone?"

"That's right!"

Lu Youmi looked a little angry and embarrassed, but she still described what happened that night to Ye Tianlong:

"In the general manager's office of the company, my father saw Wei Yuerong having sex with a man, and he even shouted loudly that the whole building echoed."

She exhaled a long breath: "And that man was my cousin, the vice president of the company. My father got angry on the spot."

"He directly asked my cousin to be thrown from the roof of the building. When he was about to kill Wei Yuerong, she shouted that it was his cousin who threatened her to have sex."

Lu Youmi sighed: "She also said that she has been pregnant with my father's child for two months, and she hopes that my father will give her a way to survive."

Ye Tianlong stared at the TV news and said: "So your father relented and let her go temporarily?"

A hint of self-mockery appeared on Lu Youmi's lips: "Because there is no proof, what if he was really coerced? The most important thing is the child."

"My father wants to check things out briefly and see the child's condition before making a decision."

There was anger in her eyes: "But I didn't expect that when she went to the hospital for a check-up the next day, a group of people attacked the convoy and rescued her."

"It's okay if she escapes, but she still wants to hit my father and the Lu family hard. She ran to the Black Mountain Eagle territory."

Lu Youmi secretly gathered her fists tightly: "Not only did she take the initiative to be a black mountain eagle woman, she also took out the Lu family's account book and told the Lu family that they were actually a fat sheep."

"That's why the Black Mountain Eagle became interested in the Lu family."

"Ever since my father rejected the Black Mountain Eagle's request for cooperation a month ago, the Lu family's peaceful days have begun to be broken."

"In the past month, not only have pig blood been poured on the doors of more than a dozen Lu family stores, but members of the Lu family have also been shot and injured from time to time when going out."

"My father's car was hit with three bullet holes by motorcycle gunmen, and the three huge rice warehouses of the Lu family were even burned down by fire."

Lu Youmi's pretty face showed regret: "Those three rice warehouses are worth more than 500 million. They are the food for the Fu family and the Tu family in the second half of the year."

"Heavy metals were also poured into our planting base. The land cannot be used for three years, and the rice and fresh fruits grown cannot be eaten."

There was worry in her beautiful eyes: "All of this is destined that the Lu family will not be able to supply the Fu family and the Tu family on time."

"Once we are unable to supply on time, we will not only lose these two major customers, but the value of Mijia will also decline, and the safety and security will also plummet."

"The Human-Slayer Demon, like the Black Mountain Eagle, has always wanted to take action against the Lu family because the Lu family did not obey his orders and stopped supplying food to the Fu family."

When Ye Tianlong narrowed his eyes slightly, Lu Youmi added: "It is only because of the cost of food that the Human Demon Slaughter has endured until now."

"If he finds that the Lu family is unable to supply cheap and high-quality food and grass, I'm afraid he will soon send people over to blow up the Lu family."

"For the sake of reputation and the future of the Lu family, my father planned to allocate funds to purchase at a loss, but he was reported to be black money and the funds were frozen."

Lu Youmi showed a helpless look: "For safety reasons, 99% of my father's deposits are in Manchuria. If they are frozen, the flow of funds will be instantly blocked."

"The total cash of the Lu family in the entire Black Triangle is less than 100 million. After deducting the cash to maintain the operation of various stores, there is almost no cash."

She suddenly raised her voice: "The most irritating thing is that the antiques collected by my father have been secretly transferred away by Wei Yuerong in the past two years."

"Almost all the antiques valued at RMB 500 million have been replaced with fakes, leaving only a dozen personal belongings at home, which are not even worth RMB 100 million."

Lu Youmi looked at Ye Tianlong's arms: "The night pearl in your hand is the most valuable."

Ye Tianlong subconsciously touched the night pearl and hid it deep in his arms, fearing that Lu Youmi would take it back.

At this time, Lu Youmi finished the rest of her words: "In desperation, my father asked his close sworn brother Wang Jiacai to borrow money to tide him over."

"Wang Jiacai agreed, but only if I marry Wang Jiukang and mortgage the Lu family's property to the Wang family."

"My father thought about it for a while and finally agreed, so he asked Wang Jiukang and me to come back. But who would have thought that the scene on the train would happen."

Lu Youmi's tone became decisive: "I would rather die than marry Wang Jiukang now."

"I see!"

Ye Tianlong, who understood the ins and outs of the matter, took a sip of soda water and sighed: "A wealthy family really has a lot of grievances and grievances."

Lu Youmi bit her lip: "This doesn't mean there are too many grievances. This is the crime of cherishing a jade and a disaster from heaven."

Ye Tianlong suddenly said: "How much money is needed to revitalize the entire Lu family and supply the two major groups on time?"

Lu Youmi was stunned for a moment, then sighed softly: "At least 500 million. The Fu family has nearly a million people to eat, and the Tu family has hundreds of thousands of people."

"This is still the first phase of procurement in the second half of the year... If they default on the payment until next spring, they will probably need more than one billion to advance payment..."

Ye Tianlong nodded, thinking about whether to help...
