After the empress transmigrated, she became the judge of the entertainment industry.

Shouldn't Chapter 509 be about stirring up trouble?

The person who answered his question was Sheng Hanyu.

"Guess who we were having dinner with the day we met Ni Quan?"

He knew Lu Mingye would misunderstand that he was abusing his power, but it didn't matter.

As long as you're true to yourself, you don't need to care what others think. This world is one that can't be explained no matter how you try to explain it, so you might as well use that to create misunderstandings.

As expected, Lu Mingye misunderstood.

He said this because, in conjunction with the report of the shooting incident, there was a series of strict checks along the southwestern border.

Even joint operations by the military and police.

Sheng Hanyu's family relationships are very clear, so it's normal for Lu Mingye to make this connection.

Actually, even if the victim wasn't Sheng Hanyu, there would still be a thorough investigation, but the process might not be as fast, and the scale of the investigation wouldn't be as large.

“I understand. Because of this, others have also been quite affected, and now there are constant complaints about the Sixth Madam and the others within the Lu family. No one is speaking up for them anymore.”

In other words, the Lu family's other illegal businesses were also affected by this incident.

After all, the strict investigation isn't just about guns and ammunition; it also includes all sorts of other illegal activities. If any of them are discovered, they will be dealt with as well.

But they won't blame themselves for breaking the law; instead, they'll blame the sixth concubine and others who triggered this series of events.

"But the core problem hasn't been solved yet. As long as Master Ying is still around, they will keep hunting us down," Ye Sanqing said.

She needs to consider taking the initiative.

What a joke! They've already slapped you in the face, and you're still here drinking tea?

Although they were indeed drinking tea...

"I don't know how to handle this. You might have to contact Lu Wangshen." Lu Mingye shrugged.

He was also helpless, as he could only provide financial assistance and couldn't help in any other way.

“I’m waiting for him to contact me first,” Ye Sanqing said.

Since Lu Wangshen is so good at finding opportunities, he certainly won't miss the best moment, which will save her a lot of trouble.

"Well, that means the problem with the sixth concubine is solved. The Lu family as a whole has suffered losses. I took the opportunity to acquire some small businesses, but it will take some time to develop them."

Lu Mingye told him the truth, then added, "But the most important problem is Lu Wangqian..."

"What you really want to talk about is the second concubine, right? I know he's not fighting alone, but I suggest we figure out one thing: is the second concubine more on his side or Lu Wangshen's side?"

"No one can know this. She seems to be indifferent, but she probably holds the most resources, even more than my grandmother. Back then, she was the one who strongly supported Lu Wangqian going abroad, probably because she valued the chaos of the overseas market. As it turns out, that kind of place is suitable for someone like Lu Wangqian."

"As for Lu Wangshen, I don't believe he developed into what he is today on his own. But I wonder how much of his second wife is involved. After all, you've seen it yourself, he's definitely not someone who wants to be controlled."

Ye Sanqing nodded, "Then I'll ask him directly later."

This topic must be asked directly. No matter what Lu Wangshen answers, she can see the clues in it.

"Actually, I want to ask, what exactly happened when the Fourth Concubine's lineage was poisoned back then? Can this matter be brought up again?" Ye Sanqing changed the subject.

“I thought you were going to talk about the Fifth Concubine now… Why are you bringing this up all of a sudden?” Lu Mingye thought for a moment. “She must have been the victim of revenge, there’s no need to ask. But no one knows exactly why.”

Ye Sanqing: Seriously, does none of you really have any idea what Edmund is here for?

Forget it, it's better to ask Edmund himself than to ask him.

She now suspects that Edmund is the mastermind behind this.

There's no reason, but it's just very suspicious.

The main reason is that he's afraid people won't realize he's seeking revenge because of his name!

"Then let me ask Fifth Concubine now, are you planning to make a move against her next?"

Lu Mingye affirmed, "Yes, I have collected some evidence, but it is difficult to directly point the finger at her. She usually does things in a roundabout way. Even if we say that her medical aesthetic clinic and beauty salon are operating illegally, she can push the blame onto her employees."

"I've heard some things about Gu Qingchuan, so can we really use him?" Ye Sanqing recalled what Duan Feng had said before.

It sounds like Gu Qingchuan is trapped by his own so-called "benevolence and righteousness." If only there were a way to break free from this.

“It’s a bit troublesome; he’s very difficult to communicate with,” Lu Mingye shook his head.

He certainly tested them, or rather, both he and Lu Wangshen tested them, and they used different methods.

He was implying that Gu Qingchuan could legalize his business through him, while Lu Wangshen was going in another direction, suggesting that Gu Qingchuan could use his network... to launder money.

Of course, a reasonable handling fee should be charged.

Gu Qingchuan completely ignored it.

Gu Qingchuan was right; it's certainly better to keep control of money flow in one's own hands. But this also shows that he would rather work hard himself than compromise the independence of his fifth concubine's business.

"What's your opinion?" Ye Sanqing asked Sheng Hanyu.

“It’s very simple, isn’t it?” Sheng Hanyu didn’t think Ye Sanqing didn’t know how to solve this situation. “Just go directly to them and talk about cooperation. All they need to do is show us the cases of victims of illegal medical treatment.”

"Why... do you think this is useful?" Lu Mingye was puzzled; he had never thought of this direction before.

Gu Qingchuan is already involved in illegal lending and money laundering, so why would he care about the plight of the victims?

"Because he cares about benevolence and righteousness, then we must show him that what he does is unbenevolent and unrighteous."

Ye Sanqing nodded in agreement.

It seems that Sheng Hanyu is still very useful. The solutions she is proposing are about the same level as Xiaochong's... no, they are even better. Xiaochong is not good at this kind of human-centered approach.

"Yes, he might have just been processing data behind the scenes. Whether he was evading something or what, we need to show him the evidence, the more graphic and graphic the better."

"I... I don't quite understand, but I'll give it a try."

Lu Mingye found the plan hard to agree with, but there was little harm in trying it.

Of course, he wouldn't go to Gu Qingchuan himself; he had to find a way to force him to look at the evidence.

"Then it seems there are no problems?"

Ye Sanqing went through his thoughts again, but couldn't find a breakthrough to continue.

"I've always had a question... what exactly is Ye Wanyin's situation?"

Lu Mingye couldn't understand it at all.

Based on Ye Wanyin's previous behavior, with her high-profile wedding of the century, shouldn't her next step be to stir up trouble in the Lu family?

As a result, he stopped caring about anything as soon as he joined the team. What is he trying to do?
