Xu Zhiru quickly interrupted Xu Zhao's angry outburst, "No, doctor, that's not what we meant. It's just five million. We will get it together as soon as possible and give it to you. I just hope you can keep your promise and keep the secret."

"Don't worry, I, Li, always keep my word." Doctor Li smiled with satisfaction. "As long as the money is in place, everything will be fine. However, I hope you can transfer the money to my account as soon as possible. I don't like to drag things out."

"No problem, doctor, we will arrange it as soon as possible." Xu Zhiru responded quickly.

After hanging up the phone, Xu Zhao's face was so gloomy that it seemed like water was dripping from his eyes. "Sister, this old fox is so greedy! Five million is simply blackmail!"

Xu Zhiru sighed, "Forget it. Money is only a thing outside of the body. As long as we can get out safely, spending some money is worth it. The most important thing now is to stabilize Fu Chen as soon as possible and not let him continue to doubt."

"How can we keep him stable? He is already wary of us and I'm afraid it won't be so easy for him to trust us again." Xu Zhao's tone was full of worry.

Xu Zhiru's eyes flickered, and a sinister smile appeared on the corner of her mouth. "Don't worry, I have a way. Fu Chen is the type who only responds to soft words and not hard ones. As long as I act a little pitiful and use some self-torture tactics, I guarantee he will soften his heart and trust me again."

"A self-torture scheme?" Xu Zhao was slightly stunned. "Sister, what are you going to do?"

Xu Zhiru did not answer, but just smiled mysteriously, her eyes full of calculation and conspiracy.

Back at the Fu family villa, Xu Zhiru changed her previous dominance and strength and became extraordinarily gentle and considerate, caring about Fu Chen and showing great concern.

After dinner, Fu Chen sat in the study with a frown on his face, as if thinking about something.

Xu Zhiru walked in gently with a cup of hot milk and said softly, "Ah Chen, are you still busy? Have a glass of milk and take a break."

Fu Chen raised his head and glanced at Xu Zhiru, with a hint of inquiry and scrutiny in his eyes.

Xu Zhiru's heart tightened slightly, but she still maintained a gentle smile on her face.

She walked over to Fu Chen, put the milk on the table, then reached out and gently massaged Fu Chen's temples, "Is your head hurting again? Let me massage it for you."

Fu Chen did not refuse and let Xu Zhiru massage him.

Xu Zhiru's technique was gentle and comfortable, and Fu Chen's tense nerves gradually relaxed.

"A Chen, are you still angry about the medicine?" Xu Zhiru asked softly, with a hint of grievance and caution in her tone.

Fu Chen was silent for a moment before he slowly spoke, "Zhi Ru, I just want to find out the truth. I don't want to be kept in the dark."

"I know, I understand how you feel." Xu Zhiru said gently, "But Ah Chen, you have to believe me, everything I do is for your own good, I will never hurt you."

As she spoke, Xu Zhiru's eyes reddened slightly, and her voice became choked. "I know you've been feeling unwell and in a bad mood recently. Seeing you like this, I feel very uncomfortable. I wish I could bear all the pain for you, but there's nothing I can do. I'm really useless..."

As Xu Zhiru spoke, tears began to fall and slid down her cheeks. She looked pitiful and heartbreaking.

Fu Chen's heart wavered slightly.

Looking at Xu Zhiru's tearful face, he remembered the good times they had and Xu Zhiru's tenderness and consideration for him.

Did he really misunderstand her? Did Xu Zhiru really hide the medicine for his own good?

"Zhiru, don't cry." Fu Chen sighed and his tone softened. "I know you're doing this for my own good, but I've been in a bad mood lately, so I lost my temper with you. Don't take it to heart."

Xu Zhiru quickly wiped her tears, raised her head, and looked at Fu Chen pitifully, "Really? Ah Chen, are you really not angry with me anymore?"

Fu Chen nodded, reached out his hand, and gently stroked Xu Zhiru's cheek, "I'm not angry anymore, I believe you."

Hearing Fu Chen's words, Xu Zhiru secretly breathed a sigh of relief and a happy smile appeared on her face.

"Ah Chen, I know you are the best. You will definitely believe me." Xu Zhiru snuggled in Fu Chen's arms like a spoiled child, her tone tender, "Ah Chen, I haven't been feeling well lately. I always feel tired and want to sleep. Is my depression recurring?"

Fu Chen frowned. "Depression relapse? How could this happen? Haven't you been taking medicine recently?"

"Yes, I have been taking medicine, but I don't know why. Recently, I feel that the medicine is not working as well. I always feel depressed, lack energy, and can't sleep well at night..." Xu Zhiru's voice became lower and lower, and weaker and weaker, as if she would faint at any time.

Fu Chen's heart was filled with guilt and heartache.

He felt that he had been only concerned about his own illness recently and ignored Xu Zhiru's feelings, which was really wrong.

"Zhi Ru, I'm sorry. It's my fault. I shouldn't lose my temper with you. I should care about you more and take care of you more." Fu Chen hugged Xu Zhi Ru tightly, his tone gentle and full of apology.

Xu Zhiru snuggled in Fu Chen's arms, with a barely perceptible sneer on her lips.

Her self-torture trick was successful.

While Xu Zhiru and Fu Chen were being affectionate with each other, Xu Zhao was in his room, busy sorting out the "evidence" of his and Xu Zhiru's crimes over the years.

Call records, text message records, email exchanges, bank transfer records, everything that might expose their conspiracy was found one by one by Xu Zhao, collected and prepared to be completely destroyed.

Xu Zhao piled these things in the middle of the room, then took out a lighter and set fire to the pile of papers and electronic devices.

The flames burned fiercely, devouring everything and turning the evidence of Xu Zhao and Xu Zhiru's crimes into ashes bit by bit.

Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Xu Zhao showed a sinister and complacent smile on his face.

As long as these evidences are completely destroyed, even if Fu Chen really begins to suspect them, he will definitely not be able to find any clues.

The two siblings can still rest easy and continue to enjoy wealth and glory.

In order to ensure a perfect solution to this matter, Xu Zhao thought about it for a long time and finally decided to find a "professional" lawyer to solve the matter.

He had finally come this far, and even Xu Zhiru could attend the Fu Group's meetings. He was really unwilling to accept this.

But since Xu Zhiru has made this decision, I will help her to the end.

Inside the law firm, the atmosphere was oppressive and heavy. Xu Zhiru's face was pale, her fingers tightly gripping her phone.

Xu Zhao paced back and forth, looking restless.

The lawyer spread out the evidence and couldn't help frowning.

"Mr. Xu, Ms. Xu, we've already sent someone to investigate this matter. Besides the destroyed evidence, there's still quite a bit left."

"In my opinion, you'd better deal with it as soon as possible."
