Chapter 621 Disagreement

During those few seconds, Fu Zheng felt an emotion called torment, as if he was being roasted on a fire, caught in a dilemma.

She didn't care about Lin Jiamin's injury, but that didn't mean she didn't hate Fu Qingyue.

Wen Liang asked, "Fu Zheng, that time when you said you were going on a business trip but didn't get on the plane, I had an accident on the way to the hospital to see my grandma, but I eventually got away with it. You said it was related to a foreign competitor, but it was Fu Qingyue who went to Philadelphia because of you, and it was Fu Qingyue who wanted to harm me, right?"

"...Yes." Fu Zheng raised his hand and pinched his eyebrows, feeling sweaty.

He placed his other hand on the windowsill, tapping it unconsciously, waiting for Wen Liang's next words.

"She wants to kill me?"

Fu Zheng held his breath, "...Yes."

"Did she become ill at that time?"

"I don't know, but she was already taking medication at that time."

So, sending her to a mental hospital was a blessing in disguise.

"If it is proven that she suffers from a mental illness and was in a state of illness when she committed the crime, then does that mean she does not need to go to jail but should be admitted to a mental hospital for treatment?"

"yes."

"Then can you guarantee that she will stay in there safely and won't run out again?"

This time, didn’t Fu Qingyue escape from the mental hospital?

"Aliang, I promise you, I won't let her out again. The police and the Huo family won't allow this to happen... Besides, the results of the autopsy haven't come out yet. It's still unknown whether she was ill at the time of the attack. No one can predict what the result will be."

It can be heard that Fu Zheng's words are sincere, but Wen Liang's heart remains calm.

She knew that although Fu Zheng's promise sounded firm, the reality was often much more complicated than imagined.

"Last time, you hid her intention to hurt me from me and sent Fu Qingyue to the mental hospital. You must have made sure that she would not come out. Fu Zheng, I don't believe your promise." Wen Liang's voice was calm, with a hint of coldness.

Fu Zheng's breath was choked.

The boomerang he had once shot now hit him right in the heart.

He had broken his promises to her many times, so she was unwilling to believe him.

Last time, if he had not been careless and let Fu Qingyue escape, all these things would not have happened later.

She didn't believe him, and that was right.

Wen Liang hadn't heard Fu Zheng's response yet, and he thought that he must be in great trouble now.

"Fu Qingyue wants to kill me. I don't want to put myself in danger anymore and live in constant fear. Besides, no one can guarantee Fu Qingyue's mental state. Last time, in order to harm me, she even dared to use my grandmother without caring about her health. What if she gets extreme and attacks An An..."

Wen Liang paused and took a deep breath. "Fu Zheng, you saved me last time. I gave you face and didn't pursue her legal responsibility. I allowed you to handle it privately. But you didn't seize your opportunity and let her escape, causing a disaster."

"...Yes, you are right." Fu Zheng lowered his eyes and smiled bitterly.

What Wen Liang said made perfect sense, and he couldn't refute it.

There are only vague guarantees.

"However, the application has already been submitted and public opinion has responded enthusiastically. If we withdraw the application at this time, people will only think that we are trying to hide something," he said in a deep voice.

Wen Liang was silent for a few seconds.

She only flipped through a few pages, but she could clearly feel the surge of comments and the hatred netizens had for Fu Zheng.

Wen Liang thought for a moment and asked, "Is someone manipulating public opinion?"

Generally speaking, many wealthy families do not like to expose their private affairs to the public and are reluctant to show up in public.

Fu Zheng's identity was originally known to only a few people, but this time it was completely exposed, even the affairs of Huo Junshan and Bai Qiuyu from decades ago were dug up.

Abnormally intense.

"Yes, I had someone check it out. Editor-in-Chief Ma of the Metropolis Morning News, who first broke the news, is a friend of Ms. Lin. They met at an art exhibition and often visited exhibitions together."

Wen Liang raised an eyebrow, "So she was the one who leaked the information? What's her purpose?"

"I guess they're unhappy with my application for a mental evaluation and are using public opinion to put pressure on me. Huo Junshan came to me not long ago and asked me to give up the application."

"...In other words, you are now caught between a rock and a hard place."

Since it was Ms. Lin who was manipulating the situation, public opinion would not let Fu Zheng off just because he withdrew his application. Instead, it would only guide the topic and make netizens think that Fu Zheng withdrew his application because he felt guilty.

If the appraisal results show that Fu Qingyue was not ill when she committed the crime, Fu Qingyue would need to bear legal responsibility, which would be fine. However, if it is believed that she was ill when she committed the crime, even if this is the truth, public opinion would be led astray and people would conclude that Fu Zheng bribed officials to achieve his goals.

Regardless of the identification results, he will face questions and pressure from all sides.

"That's right."

As he spoke, Fu Zheng frowned.

He knew clearly that no matter what the outcome, he would face tremendous pressure and challenges this time.

"Then what are you going to do?" Wen Liang asked.

"Persist in applying and wait for the identification results."

“…”

"I'm sorry, Aliang."

Fu Zheng's voice was low and firm.

He understood Wen Liang's inner worries, but at this point, he couldn't retreat at all.

"I understand. This is the best option."

There was a subtle hint of sympathy in the warm voice.

Fortunately, Ms. Lin is not as crazy as Ms. Fu.

Although she had reservations about Fu Zheng's promise, she also understood his predicament.

"But..." Wen Liang continued, "Do you really think that the Huo family will not allow Fu Qingyue to escape from the mental hospital?"

Fu Zheng paused, "You mean..."

"You just said that Ms. Lin and Chairman Huo both opposed your application for evaluation. If Fu Qingyue is admitted to a mental hospital for treatment, it means they have failed, and you have succeeded. How can they be willing to accept that Fu Qingyue has not been punished?"

Fu Zheng said, "So, they will send people to help Ms. Fu escape, use her illness to lead her into trouble, then capture her, make her public, and use the Internet's troll army to easily stir up the anger of netizens and turn the blame on me and the Fu family."

"Yes, that's what I'm worried about." Wen Liang said.

In fact, Ms. Fu may not be as comfortable in the mental hospital as in prison.

The Huo family is powerful and it is easy for them to place people in the mental hospital.

Fu Qingyue has a mental illness and is so extreme that she can easily be exploited by others.

Fu Zheng frowned and said, "Let's see what the appraisal results are first. I will make arrangements."

He knew that Wen Liang's worries were not groundless, and he had to be fully prepared.

"Okay."

"Aliang, thank you for reminding me."

Regardless, Aliang still stood on his side.

If she wanted to take revenge on Fu Qingyue, she could just keep silent.

Fu Zheng was deeply moved. No matter what the outcome was, with Aliang by his side, he was not fighting alone.

For Aliang and An'an, he will try his best to resolve this crisis.

"...I'm just afraid that Ms. Fu will be instigated to come out and harm me."

Fu Zheng: "..."

"That's it. Don't read those comments online. They'll affect your mood."

"You too, disconnect from the internet for a few days and rest well."
