Chapter 162 The Stand-in Quits (12)

Fu Nanjin rushed home, and then his father took him to the Tang family.

Only then did he realize what had happened.

It turns out that the Fu family and the Tang family were investigated together today, and it was a joint investigation by multiple departments with very complete evidence.

How is this possible?

What a coincidence!

His first thought was whether the two families had offended someone.

But who has that much power?

"President Fu, please come inside and sit down."

Mr. Tang came out to greet him. When he saw Mr. Fu, his expression relaxed a little, and he managed a forced smile.

Fu Nanjin followed his father into the house. He noticed that Tang Wanqing was also home. The two looked at each other and saw the confusion in each other's eyes.

What's going on?

He walked over, sat down next to Tang Wanqing, and asked in a low voice.

Tang Wanqing was silent for a moment, then a helpless expression appeared on her face.

"I...I'm not sure. My dad said it might be related to Xu Changqing..."

"impossible!"

Fu Nanjin immediately refused to believe it. Wasn't this ridiculous? Who was Xu Changqing? How could he do such a thing?

At this moment, Tang's father and Fu's father also sat down. Upon hearing Fu Nanjin's voice, Tang's father sighed.

“Nan Jing, we don’t want to believe this either, but after thinking about it carefully, the only person we’ve offended recently is that kid.”

While Fu Nanjin was stunned, Tang's father recounted how he had previously hired someone to teach Xu Changqing a lesson.

After hearing this, everyone present fell silent.

Mr. Fu frowned, asking incredulously, "Mr. Tang, are you saying that kid single-handedly turned four thugs over to the police station, and possibly even killed the gang leader that night?"

This is outrageous!

Tang's father nodded, looking worried.

"Yes, that's right. Moreover, the investigation into Longbang's dead cop is still ongoing. All the security cameras outside his door are broken and haven't recorded anything."

This? How is this possible?

Mr. Fu was stunned after hearing this.

"So, Lao Tang, you suspect that kid has someone backing him?" He hesitated. "But even the Qin family couldn't possibly know so many secrets about our two companies."

Tang's father shook his head after hearing this.

"We've all gotten to know each other pretty well, Lao Fu. I think the same way you do. Even if the Qin family is more powerful than us, they couldn't possibly know so many of our secrets, so..."

His gaze paused, and his voice became tinged with fear.

“I suspect that the authorities have been watching us for a long time and have been collecting evidence over the years.”

Upon hearing this, everyone present changed their expressions.

Tang's father also looked extremely frustrated. "Besides that, I really can't figure it out. Surely that Xu guy has some kind of supernatural ability that allows him to see the past and future?"

A moment of silence fell over everyone again.

If this speculation is true, then it's going to be troublesome. Being targeted by the authorities, and in a premeditated way, leaves no room for public relations.

The two families discussed the matter until midnight and finally decided to send the children and women abroad first, while the two men in charge would stay behind to handle the affairs.

Tang Wanqing and Fu Nanjin were completely stunned when they heard this.

Why are you suddenly going abroad?

"Dad, I'm not leaving. Such a big thing has happened at home, I want to stay and help." Fu Nanjin stood up and protested.

"That's not up to you!" Mr. Fu's face turned cold. "What do you know? What can you do? This is settled!"

Despite their apprehension, the two boarded a plane to leave the country two days later.

Fu Nanjin's plan to take revenge on Changqing was aborted before it even began.

The Tang and Fu companies quickly descended into chaos.

Despite the leader's desperate measures to save the company—including paying back taxes, providing compensation, issuing apologies, and having someone take the blame—the matter was serious. The company's reputation plummeted, and business quickly declined. In less than six months, both companies were acquired by other large corporations.

Meanwhile, people were coming and going on the beach across the ocean.

Under a huge parasol, Tang Wanqing and Fu Nanjin sat facing each other, remaining silent in contrast to the other tourists' excitement.

Both of them had just learned that their company had been acquired.

This is certainly not good news.

The two, who were originally having a happy vacation, immediately became upset.

“Go back, Wanqing. Your dad and my dad both said they’re coming here. It’s like a family reunion.”

The sea breeze blew by, ruffling Fu Nanjin's hair, and a wave of melancholy washed over him.

Tang Wanqing nodded, her eyes also red.

"Hey, you two, leaving so soon?"

Just then, a voice suddenly came, and a familiar figure appeared at the table, wearing beach shorts and sunglasses, looking dashing.

The two of them were instantly stunned.

"Xu, Xu Changqing?!"

Tang Wanqing screamed in terror.

What are you doing here?

Fu Nanjin took a step back, his expression wary. In the past, he couldn't wait to find this kid and get revenge for the beating he received. Now, seeing this guy, he felt inexplicably guilty. With trouble at home, it seemed that his confidence had disappeared.

Changqing took off his sunglasses and grinned, revealing a creepy smile.

"We've got a grudge, you know. Did I come here to catch up? What? Your company went bankrupt, and you've lost all your spirit? You're such a coward?"

This provocative statement should have earned him a beating, but Fu Nanjin showed no intention of making a move. His expression changed, and he grabbed Tang Wanqing's hand and turned to run away.

Behind him, Changqing's laughter came.

"You can't escape. I'll keep an eye on you."

The laughter was like a death knell, making both of them tense up and their steps became even more frantic. They rushed into the car in a panic, and Fu Nanjin's hands on the steering wheel were even trembling.

Bang!

The car had just sped off when it crashed into a streetlight, but Fu Nanjin didn't care at all. He swerved the steering wheel, and the car swerved sharply, escaping the scene.

"Nan Jing, are you alright?"

Tang Wanqing screamed in fright.

"I... I feel that kid is really dangerous."

Fu Nanjin breathed a sigh of relief after the car had driven far away from the beach, and said in a trembling voice.

Danger?

Tang Wanqing looked puzzled. How come she didn't feel anything at all?

"Anyway, Mom and Dad are coming tomorrow, so let's not worry," she comforted him, but she was a little disappointed. Her brother Jing was actually so afraid of that kid, which was quite different from the brother Jing she knew. She wasn't very satisfied.

However, even she didn't expect that the next day, Fu Nanjin would die in the hotel. He was hanged on the washbasin, a scene that looked very familiar, and the surveillance cameras were broken again.

The police came to investigate, but they couldn't find anything.

The two fathers were shocked to learn of the devastating news as soon as they arrived. They quickly handled the funeral arrangements and moved away.

At this point, both families finally realized that it was indeed possible that the kid was responsible for all the things that had happened to them.

Especially Tang's father, who had hired people to teach that kid a lesson, was terrified and had hired more than a dozen bodyguards to protect him, only then did he feel a little safe.

However, hiring bodyguards is expensive, and the money after the company's acquisition couldn't withstand the losses. In just a few years, it was all gone.

Then he started to panic again.

"Wanqing, why don't you call Mr. Xu and beg him? After all, you dated before, so maybe there are still some feelings left."

Fear gripped Tang's father, who then devised a plan to have his daughter plead for mercy.

Tang Wanqing had just returned from get off work when she heard these words, and her heart skipped a beat.

"I... I wouldn't dare."

Tang's father knelt down with a thud. "Daughter, please save your father! I never expected that boy to be so vengeful. I don't want to die..."

Tang's mother was also there to offer advice.

Tang Wanqing bit her lip, somewhat at a loss.

Seeing this, Tang's mother took out her phone, dialed the number she had already found, and then handed the phone to her daughter.

Tang Wanqing's face turned pale.

Seriously? My parents even found out someone else's phone number?

She just hoped the number was wrong, or that the other party hadn't answered at all, but things never go as planned, and the call was connected after two beeps.

"Hello, who is it?"

The microphone sounded a little distorted, but Tang Wanqing could tell in a second.

It was Xu Changqing.

The tutor from back then has now become a demon in my heart.

"I, I...I'm Tang Wanqing..." At her parents' prompting, Tang Wanqing opened her mouth, "Teacher Xu, could you please let my dad go...?"

She took a deep breath and said what she wanted to say, her heart pounding wildly.

"ah?"

The person on the other end paused for a moment, seemingly struggling to remember who Tang Wanqing was.

"I've already forgotten about it. Don't call me again, and don't show up in front of me again."

"Good, good, good!!" Tang Wanqing nodded repeatedly, feeling as if she had been granted a pardon. Even Tang's parents, who were listening from the side, were excited.

Over there, Changqing casually tossed his phone onto the table, his gaze fixed on the men and women on the distant beach.

"Host, that old man from the Tang family once sent someone to teach you a lesson, and you just let him go like that?" The system was still a little angry when it recalled what had happened before.

Changqing doesn't care.

"That's it. That old man is already a scaredy-cat. Besides, he's already spent all his money. Didn't you see that Tang Wanqing is working abroad? Let him live."

He was too lazy to move.

In this life, Changqing wandered around for several years. When he was thirty-five, his grandparents' health deteriorated, so he returned to his hometown and found a job as a teacher, living a peaceful and stable life for many years.

He only chose to leave after seeing his grandparents off.
