Luo Sheng's primary concern at this moment was indeed a joint attack from the two.
"There's also tomorrow's transaction."
"Our cargo will eventually be docked at the East District's harbor. If Jin Chi Yan obstructs it, whether this batch of goods can be transported back to Luomen is another matter!"
"This is Luomen's biggest order of the year. If it fails, we won't be able to account for it to the Elder Council."
Problems piled up.
This was something Luo Sheng had not anticipated.
He hadn't expected his mere appearance to cause such a huge uproar.
It seemed Jin Chi Yan was determined to oppose him this time?
"Is there a list of the transaction to the East District tomorrow?"
Luo Yi sighed, "We had already made arrangements with the Victor Party and didn't deploy many brothers. If we were to recall the Enforcement Hall brothers now, time might not be enough."
Luo Sheng frowned, "Mr. Cheng Ji?"
This was precisely Luo Yi's worry. His brow furrowed, "Mr. Cheng suddenly took ill and requested leave from the Enforcement Hall."
"What happened?"
Luo Yi shook his head, "But according to our brothers left at Luomen, they seemed to have seen him in Dai Wei's courtyard."
"Young Master, do you think Mr. Cheng might be a traitor..."
Luo Sheng pursed his lips, "Enough."
"Let's not discuss what hasn't happened yet. Tomorrow's transaction..."
"I'll accompany you,"
It was Chen Fan, who had been silent at the dining table, who spoke up.
Luo Yi stared blankly at the person before him, "You?"
He knew Luo Sheng's indulgence towards this Chen Fan and was afraid he would agree. He quickly shook his head at Luo Sheng, "Young Master! We are already short of manpower. If we have to allocate some people to protect him, the possibility of successfully transporting the goods will be even slimmer!"
Luo Sheng nodded and looked at Chen Fan, "Brother Fan, this matter is very important to Luomen, and there's no room for error."
"Moreover, Jin Chi Yan has placed the blame on you. If you show yourself, you might attract their pursuit. I worry they won't be able to protect you."
"If you wish to visit the East District for leisure, I will take you once this is settled."
Chen Fan calmly put down his chopsticks, "I don't need your men to protect me."
"They should do what they need to do. Pay no mind to me."
Chen Fan had not intended to attract attention during this trip to Europe before contacting them. However, this matter was, ultimately, related to him.
He should help.
Chen Fan rose from his seat, "No need to worry. Since I've agreed, I will ensure it goes smoothly."
As he spoke, he lightly took a napkin, wiped his hands, and went upstairs.
Only Luo Sheng and Luo Yi, master and servant, were left at the table, exchanging dumbfounded glances.
What was he even talking about?
Luo Yi took a deep breath, "Young Master, is your friend perhaps not fully aware of the situation in Europe?"
What did he take himself for?
Even Cheng Ji wouldn't dare to say such a thing if he were here!
Did he think this was child's play?
That was real gunfire and battle!
In the silence, Luo Sheng pursed his lips and agreed, "Make arrangements. Brother Fan will go with us tomorrow."
"Young Master!"
Luo Yi looked at him in shock, "Are you really planning to bring that burden along?!"
"Brother Fan is not someone who speaks without reason. He wouldn't joke about such matters with me. Do as I say."
Luo Yi genuinely disliked this pair of siblings, Chen Fan and his sister.
However...
He deeply respected Luo Sheng.
In the end, he said nothing and followed Luo Sheng's instructions.
Luo Sheng was not the only one displeased with this arrangement.
When Luo Yi delivered this news to the Enforcement Hall,
The disciples immediately began to grumble with dissatisfaction, "What is the Young Master thinking?"
"Does he think we're going on an outing to the East District?"
"If the Victor Party truly engages us in the East District, do we protect this person or not!"
Seeing this, Luo Yi immediately soothed their emotions, "The Young Master said that this trip's priority is the cargo. Everything else is not within your responsibilities."
"No matter what happens to Chen Fan in the East District, you have no obligation to save him."
These words did bring them some relief.
However, Luo Yi's words did not comfort them entirely.
Within the Enforcement Hall, someone spoke sarcastically, "Perhaps you have misunderstood the Young Master."
"Everyone knows Jin Chi Yan wants us to hand over Chen Fan. The Young Master bringing him along might be his way of offering him up at a critical moment to stop the fighting!"
This seemed to be speaking in defense of Luo Sheng, but the words clearly stirred up more dissatisfaction against him.
Luo Yi stood by, feeling somewhat helpless.
"Enough! Don't forget who our Enforcement Hall is loyal to!"
"Go down and rest. There's a tough battle to fight tomorrow."
Meanwhile.
Luo Sheng was also at Luomen.
In the brightly lit study, only he and Dai Wei were present.
"You don't plan to hand over Chen Fan?"
Luo Sheng sat in his seat, his attitude firm, "This matter has nothing to do with him."
Dai Wei sneered, "The entire Luomen has heard this news. You want to protect him?"
"Give me a reason that would make me disregard the Victor Party's threat and stand on your side, allowing you to keep this Chen Fan in the West District."
Luo Sheng pursed his lips, "This has nothing to do with handing over Chen Fan. In the end, what you're worried about is whether tomorrow's goods can be transported back smoothly."
"I will keep the person, and I guarantee to bring back tomorrow's goods."
