However, while it sounded easy to investigate, it was actually very difficult to do. The Star River was so huge, and Lu An was a lone wolf. How could he find out so easily? After two days of investigation, there was still no information about Lu An. There was no result at all. The president reported it as it was, and this made Jiang Ping even happier.
Reality proved that both Fu Yu and Liu Yi were too worried. The Spirit Race did have many counter-intelligence personnel, but it was not as serious as the two girls thought.
There were two reasons for this. First of all, the Astrals had very few intelligence agents. It was impossible for them to have many. Secondly, every clan's intelligence personnel either went to Heavenly Star River to investigate or worked in Spirit Star River. As for the intelligence personnel working in Spirit Star River, although there were some who investigated the intelligence personnel in Heavenly Star River, they were still part of the army.
This meant that regardless of whether it was in Heavenly Star River or Spirit Star River, as long as they were in charge of intelligence work in Heavenly Star River, they would definitely belong to the Spirit Race army. As for the intelligence personnel in the Chamber of Commerce, it meant that they did not belong to the army. Hence, their mission was fundamentally different. They only needed to investigate if there were spies from other clans in their own Chamber of Commerce. They basically would not consider if there were spies from Heavenly Star River.
This was the responsibility of the intelligence personnel in the army. It had nothing to do with them.
Hence, the intelligence personnel only found that there was no Chu Xing in the Chamber of Commerce of other clans. They confirmed that Chu Xing did not work for other clans. That was enough. Although they did not find anything, they had already passed the investigation. Otherwise, the president would not have invited Lu An over.
The president would not have thought that Chu Xing was a traitor of the Spirit Race. He would not have thought that the Spirit Race person in front of him was actually Lu An.
One of the most important people in the war, and the person who started the second battle, was right in front of him. No matter how much imagination the president had, he would not have thought of this.
Jiang Ping saw Lu An's character, so he wanted him to rope in Lu An. Naturally, he had considered Jiang Xin's problem. The president smiled and said, "Young Master Chu, don't worry. Fourth Young Master already knows about this. Jiang Xin will not affect Young Master Chu's safety and will not disturb Young Master Chu. If Jiang Xin is really unreasonable, Fourth Young Master and I will stand on Young Master Chu's side. We will not let Young Master Chu be wronged. "
Hearing the president's words, Lu An's heart shook.
True enough.
Jiang Ping's attitude was exactly the same as what Liu Yi had said. Fu Yu must have thought of this as well, so she said that it might not be a bad thing.
But … Lu An felt that he couldn't agree so quickly. Otherwise, the change would be too fast.
After thinking for a while, Lu An's voice was still cold as he said, "Sorry, I'm still used to being alone, and I don't like being watched. If the president has something to do, why don't you just issue a mission? If I want to do it, I can just accept it. It doesn't matter if I join the Jiang Family or not. "
Lu An's words were firm. Not only that, but just as the President was about to say something, Lu An stood up and said, "I still have something to do, so I won't disturb you any longer."
Lu An getting up was obviously out of Jiang Ping's expectations. However, since Lu An had already gotten up, it was impossible to force him to stay. Otherwise, it might backfire. Therefore, the president could only get up and say, "I hope Young Master Chu will consider it. Joining the Jiang Group is definitely a good choice."
"Mm." Lu An responded simply. He cupped his hands and said, "Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
Lu An walked out of the president's office and quickly disappeared from the city. Only the president was left in the large room, and he sat down helplessly.
Chu Xing's rejection was within his expectations. If Chu Xing had agreed so easily, it would have been unexpected. However, even though he had already expected the situation, the result was still somewhat difficult to accept.
It seemed that it was indeed very difficult to get Chu Xing to join the Jiang Group. However, the more difficult it was, the more it meant that this person's value was very trustworthy once roped in. Many missions that the Jiang Group couldn't do personally could be handed over to people like Chu Xing. If they succeeded, it would be the Jiang Group's gain. If they failed, the Jiang Group could completely cut off all ties with them.
And this was also the reason why Jiang Ping wanted Lu An to join the Jiang Group. It was even somewhat urgent.
Now, all the clans were ready to make a move, but they didn't dare to do anything openly … They also didn't dare to do anything, but they were also afraid of missing out on a heaven-sent opportunity and an incomparably huge opportunity. Therefore, they were in such a hurry to recruit capable people.
The two most important criteria for selecting people to do these things were Heaven Realm and trustworthiness. The more stubborn a person was, the more trustworthy they were. Lu An fulfilled these two criteria, even more so than the other people at the banquet.
The president took a deep breath. It was very difficult to find trustworthy people. He needed to discuss this with the Fourth Young Master and see if there was any other way to rope in Lu An, or … to make concessions on certain matters.

Heavenly Star River, Fu Clan's frontline headquarters.
Lu An met with Fu Yu again. After hearing Lu An's description of this trip, Fu Yu thought for a moment and said, "I will let Yue Ni arrange the missions for you. They don't need to be done immediately. It's best to wait a few days. You just need to go through the motions."
"Okay." Lu An nodded and said. He definitely wouldn't doubt his wife's arrangements.
"As for your cooperation with the Jiang Group, it should be soon." Fu Yu said, "It seems like the Spirit Clan's investigation of the ninety thousand years of history is faster than I thought, and more urgent."
Lu An was stunned when he heard this. Then, he immediately thought of something and asked, "You mean to say that the Jiang Group's recruitment of talents has something to do with the ninety thousand years of history … but such an important matter, why would they let an outsider do it?"
"I think it's possible, and it's very likely." Fu Yu said, "Even within the secular countries, there are too many powers that restrict each other, not to mention a power as large as the Spirit Clan. They must have many connections that we don't know about. I have some guesses, but it will take a long time to explain everything. "
Lu An nodded. He knew that many things would be troublesome to explain, and he didn't need to know too much. He just needed to follow his wife's instructions. Even if he wanted to know, he could go back and ask Liu Yi. After all, Liu Yi was very free, and Fu Yu was too busy.
"However, husband, don't think that this is an easy task." Fu Yu looked at Lu An and said softly, "Unless the Jiang Group is in a very serious hurry, you won't immediately carry out a mission related to the ninety thousand years of history after joining the Jiang Group. They will definitely continue to observe you and even let you carry out a few missions with others. During the process, they will observe your every move to see if there are any problems. Only when their trust in you accumulates bit by bit will they let you participate in the ninety thousand years of history. "
Hearing his wife's words, Lu An nodded again. Before carrying out the mission, he knew that it would not be a short-term mission. Now, it was just the beginning. They were still at the stage of trying to make contact with the Jiang Group. They had not really entered the dangerous part.
Fu Yu helped Lu An remove the makeup on his body and changed Lu An's clothes. Fu Yu looked at Lu An's face, which had reappeared. She still loved this face. She tiptoed and gave him a kiss.
Being kissed by his wife suddenly made Lu An's heart beat faster. Only his wife had this ability. Other people and things did not have such an immediate effect.
However … Fu Yu only kissed Lu An gently. She was very busy and did not have time to do anything else. Looking at her husband, whose face had turned red all of a sudden, Fu Yu revealed an extremely beautiful smile and said, "Husband, go back. I have to get busy too."
Lu An took a deep breath. He knew that he could not disturb his wife. He could only nod and prepare to mobilize his spatial power.
However, at that moment, Fu Yu suddenly thought of something and said, "By the way, the date of the sparring between you and the Chu Group should be in half a month, but the exact time has not been decided yet."
Lu An was stunned when he heard that. His heart tightened immediately, and he even frowned.
Looking at her husband's expression, Fu Yu knew that her husband's hatred for the Chu family had reached a certain level.
That was right. Lu An hated the Chu Group very much.
Back then, the Kang Clan was the one who had killed his mother. However, the Chu Group was the instigator. In addition, Chu Li had actually cursed and interfered with Fu Yu's will during the year when Fu Yu was locked in the Awakening Gate by the Heavenly God. No matter what, he had to kill Chu Li and destroy the Chu Group!
