With a cold sweat, he quickly explained: “Patriarch, please listen to my explanation. I don’t know why but they just didn’t agree to supply us! I have already conceded enough up to the bottom line you gave, but they are not willing to supply us, none of them are willing!“

Lu Wanli frowned and said, “You didn’t say you were from the Lu family?”

The subordinate replied hurriedly: “I did! But who knew it was better not to say it. They just drove me away as soon as they hear that I am from Lu Family!”

Hearing this, both Ye Feng and Lu Wanli lost their interest in playing Go.

How dare these lowly timber suppliers to go up against the Lu family?

Lu Wanli stood up, flicked his sleeves, and snorted coldly: “Let’s go! I will go with you. I will have to listen to what they are saying!”

Meanwhile, there are dozens of suppliers of timber supplies in the building materials market.

Lu Wanli followed and came to one of the largest suppliers of timber.

Originally, when the supplier saw Lu Wanli’s subordinate, he turned his head and wanted to leave.

But Lu Wanli walked quite fast.

Lu Wanli came directly to the supplier.

He smiled and then asked: “Boss, our company would like to purchase batches of timber. Do you have any supplies? What is your price?”

After hearing Lu Wanli’s words, the supplier shook his head repeatedly.

”No, no. I don’t have any more supplies here. You can go and ask someone else.”

The supplier did not ask Lu Wanli to leave in cold words but only said that there was no supply.

But when Lu Wanli looked down, he saw a sign placed at the foot of the shop.

It read as: “Contact 139xxx for timber supply. Sufficient supply, large quantity, and excellent quality,…”

Seeing that the words written on the sign were completely different from the words of the supplier, Lu Wanli was furious.

Resisting his anger, Lu Wanli reluctantly smiled at the supplier.

Then he turned and left.

Together with Ye Feng and his men, they came to the second-largest supplier of timber in the market.

When they came to the second supplier, Lu Wanli said exactly as he did to the first supplier.

”Boss, our company wants to purchase batches of timber, do you…”

But this time, he didn’t even finish as the supplier interrupted him.

”I don’t have any more supply here. You can go and ask another supplier.”

Lu Wanli took a deep breath.

He flicked his sleeves and tried again to a third supplier.

When he came to the third supplier, he didn’t even have the chance to open his mouth.

The third supplier bluntly said that they have no more supply.

Lu Wanli cannot believe it as it was surprisingly consistent even up to the fourth supplier.

All said that there was no supply.

Not only was Lu Wanli who asked in person became angry, Ye Feng too.

Lu Wanli doesn’t want to give up so he came to ask another supplier again and reported his surname directly.

”Boss, our Shanghai Lu family wanted to buy batches of timber from you. If the quality is good, we shall propose continuous cooperation with you. How about it?” Lu Wanli talked straight to the point this time.

But when this timber supplier heard Lu Wanli mention the Shanghai Lu family his body stiffened.

But he waited for Lu Wanli to finish.

Then he waved his hand directly and said: “There is no more supply, no cooperation. You can go and find someone else.”

When this timber supplier heard that he is from the Lu family, he wanted to drive them away.

Upon seeing this, the security in the market approached quietly.

Seeing this scene. Ye Feng’s blood rushed straight to his brain.

He walked directly toward this supplier and stood in front of the supplier.

They have been pushed here and there by these lowly suppliers. How could Ye Feng bear it?

He is planning to teach this supplier a lesson, but he was stopped directly by Lu Wanli.

Lu Wanli grabbed Ye Feng’s arm and persuaded him: “Junior Brother, calm down. Don’t be impulsive.”

Ye Feng’s combat skills are extremely high.

He is the mercenary king after all.

And Lu Wanli also has the same master as Ye Feng, so his combat skills are also not bad.

With just these few security guards, any one of them can easily take all of them down.

But Lu Wanli knew that beating people will not solve their problem.

This is no longer the era of aggression.

Being the patriarch of the Lu family and making it flourish, one naturally cannot be impulsive.

The important thing to do now is to find out why none of the suppliers are willing to supply timber and enter into a cooperation with the Lu family.

Lu Wanli pulled Ye Feng away from the supplier.

He pulled his hands down and asked for a bottle of water.

Taking the water from his subordinate, Lu Wanli looked for the first supplier.

”Brother, are you thirsty?” Lu Wanli offered the bottle of water.

The supplier hesitated for a while but still reached out and took the bottle of water.

Although he took the water bottle, the supplier remained silent.

Lu Wanli smiled first and then asked: “I won’t ask you again to supply us timber. Don’t worry. I am not here to embarrass you. I just wanted to ask you a few questions.”

Hearing this, the man breathed a sigh of relief.

Then Lu Wanli asked, “I wanted to ask, brother, do you really not have any timber supply?”

Hearing Lu Wanli’s question, the supplier slightly opened his mouth but did not speak a word.

Lu Wanli didn’t mind that too much.

Instead, he smiled and continued to ask: “If I may ask, who is preventing you from supplying to the Lu family?”

Hearing Lu Wanli’s straightforward question, the supplier was a little bewildered.

He could see that Lu Wanli exudes the aura of someone from a major family making him a little timid.

It was the Qiao Family that ordered not to supply timber to the Lu family.

He did not dare defy such an order.

Anyway, this is known to all, and he thought that telling Lu Wanli should be fine.

So after the supplier hesitated, he then spoke in a very low tone: “This is ordered by the Qiao family. They said that the Lu family is banned… banned in Jiangbei. Whoever dares to cooperate with the Lu family will not be allowed to stay in the Jiangbei market in the future.”

After speaking, the supplier quickly packed up and left.

He is going to another place.

He didn’t want to be seen in contact with Lu Wanli.

And Lu Wanli didn’t stop him either. Instead, he stood there with an ugly expression on his face.

Ye Feng and two other men, Lu Wanli’s subordinates, are also gloomy.

They all heard what the supplier said.

Lu Wanli and Ye Feng looked at each other.

They didn’t say anything for the time being and instead walked out of the building materials market with ugly faces.

As soon as Lu Wanli and Ye Feng walked back to the entrance, they looked again at each other’s faces.

Then they both exclaimed at the same time: ”Lin Yuan!”

None of them are stupid.

They hardly ever heard of the Qiao family, let alone have any grievance against them.

And the Shanghai Lu family now has no reputation in Jiangbei.

They don’t even have any conflict of interest with the Qiao family.

It is impossible for the Qiao family to target them for no reason.

This must have something to do with Lin Yuan!

Thinking of Lin Yuan, Ye Feng’s fist screech.

His eyes were full of hatred.

Lu Wanli was also furious.

”Lin Yuan! Lin Yuan again!”

Lu Wanli felt that Lin Yuan had been targeting him again and again.

He was being suppressed repeatedly.

The more he thought about it, the angrier he became.

The furious Lu Wanli kicked over and flipped the Go table next to him.

He also yelled at the same time, “Screw you, Lin Yuan!”

Ye Feng was silent.

Lu Wanli’s calmness when he was saying ‘Know whiteness, maintain blackness’ was long gone.

But Ye Feng didn’t pay attention to these so much.

Ye Feng was occupied by his anger toward Lin Yuan.

He also cursed Lin Yuan.

After kicking and flipping the Go table, Lu Wanli tried to calm down and think.

He thought hard about any solution.
