"That depends on whether the reason you gave is worth one million." Fu Yanli closed the document and stared at Tong Miaomiao.

Tong Miaomiao coughed lightly and said, "There is a thousand-year-old tomb under that piece of land.

Moreover, the Fu family's mortal enemy, the Lu family, had already known about it.

But they still deliberately bid for that piece of land, with the intention of driving up the price and luring the Fu family into the game. Then, when you took over the land and started massive construction, they'd report you for knowingly failing to report it when you were almost successful...

You should know what consequences the Fu family will bear if an ancient tomb is discovered there?"

Tong Miaomiao didn't finish her words, but Fu Yanli already understood what she meant.

He pondered the credibility of Tong Miaomiao's words, then gave Lou Jinyang a look.

Lou Jinyang understood what was going on and said, "I'll go find an expert to investigate right away."

Tong Miaomiao didn't expect Fu Yanli to not refute her this time. She asked curiously, "Why didn't you say I was talking nonsense this time?"

Fu Yanli raised his eyelids and looked at her, "One million is not a small amount. For this money, even if you want to lie, you have to be able to withstand investigation.

It’s still early for the bidding for that project, so you can check whether what you said is true or not.”

…

Half an hour later.

Fu Nanting Villa.

Fu Nanting did not go to the company after leaving the hospital. When he returned home, he met Huo Jianhua walking back and forth anxiously at the door.

He walked forward slowly and said sarcastically, "Hey, what brings Mr. Huo here? What are you doing hanging around in front of my door?"

Fu Nanting hates the Huo family's forced marriage and is very disgusted with his father-in-law Huo Jianhua, not giving him any face at all.

Huo Jianhua didn't care about his attitude. Instead, he nodded and fawned, saying, "Nanting, um, I have something to ask Ah Zi."

"Could you let me in to see her?

She had some conflicts with her mother, and her relationship with us has become a little strained recently.

Her brother was arrested for offending Mr. Fu's wife out of ignorance. Do you think it's possible...?"

"No." Fu Nanting refused without thinking.

"Mr. Huo, you should know very well why your daughter married me?

If it weren't for my father's pressure, for the sake of the child in her belly, your daughter wouldn't even have the chance to set foot here."

Huo Jianhua's face turned pale and blue, and he smiled awkwardly, "I know that my Huo family has let you down in this matter.

But Nan Ting, we are already a family. Let the past be the past and let’s look forward.

Look, Ah Zi is still pregnant with your child, why don't you just look at her every moment?"

Wallace Huo looked haggard, his suit was wrinkled, and his face was covered with stubble.

These past two days, he was almost on the verge of collapse because of his son being arrested and his wife cheating on him.

The police station announced that if Fu Yanli's wife did not reconcile, his son would be detained in the detention center and would be sent to prison after the verdict was announced.

If it weren't for his son, he really didn't want to face Fu Nanting, the living devil.

Fu Nanting sneered as if he heard a joke, "Family, who is your family?"

"Please leave before I get angry. It would be embarrassing if I have to call security."

Huo Jianhua was so angry that he couldn't breathe. "Are you really going to do this?"

Fu Nanting walked into the house and said, "You forced me to do this. If you hadn't plotted against me at that dinner, I might have helped you out this time because of our previous cooperation.

Unfortunately, I have always hated being schemed against.

But you keep stepping on my bottom line.

You even had the abomination of letting everyone know about it, sending this annoying person to hang around in front of me every day, constantly reminding me how stupid I was to have fallen for your tricks."

Huo Jianhua was speechless and instantly regretted his previous plot against Fu Nanting.

He knew from the beginning that this man was difficult to deal with, but he didn't expect him to hold such a grudge.

Without Fu Nanting's consent, Huo Jianhua didn't dare to enter his villa.

He watched Fu Nanting enter the gate and watched the gate close.

Huo Jianhua was unwilling to give up and called Huo Zi again, but the result was still out of service area.

He was so angry that he threw his phone to the ground.

"Good for you Huo Zi!"

"You want to block me, right? If you have the guts, just stay away from me forever.

I tell you, don’t think that I can’t do anything to you if you hide in there and don’t come out.

If you don't care about your brother, I'll go around shouting that you're a white wolf, saying you don't care about your parents after marrying into a wealthy family. I'll ruin your reputation, and then we'll see what you, the wife of a wealthy family, can do."

Huo Zi watched the scene from the second-floor balcony of Fu Nanting's villa. The corners of her mouth curled up as she sneered, "Oh, what a blind and heartless scumbag."

"I really want to see how you feel when you find out that the son you've been thinking about so much is being raised by someone else."

…

Fu Nanting returned home and went straight to the bedroom.

He fell outside the hospital and his suit got dirty.

He is a mysophobe and cannot tolerate being covered in dust.

Huo Zi on the balcony thought of the talisman Tong Miaomiao gave her, and went back to her room and took out one from her bag.

"Tsk, Miaomiao said Fu Nanting is haunted by an unlucky ghost and has been having bad luck lately. I wonder if anything bad will happen to him at home?"

She took the yellow talisman and sneaked into Fu Nanting's room.

Fu Nanting was changing clothes in the cloakroom. Just as he took off his coat, he suddenly felt as if his throat was being strangled by a big hand. The feeling of suffocation made him unable to breathe.

He widened his eyes in horror and grabbed his neck with both hands, but there was no foreign object on his neck.

What's going on?

Why did he suddenly feel like someone was pinching his neck and having difficulty breathing?
