Chapter 357 Cooperation, the goal is to find
Inside the private room of the "Genting" revolving restaurant, the floor-to-ceiling windows offer a dazzling city night view, but the room is filled with an icy silence.
When Fu Jingheng pushed open the door, his tie hung loosely around his neck and his shirt cuffs were wrinkled, forming a stark contrast with Xi Muxuan who was sitting opposite him.
She was wearing a Chanel tweed suit, and the jade bracelets on her fingertips shone coldly under the light. Her eyes swept over his embarrassed appearance as if she were examining her prey.
"If Mr. Fu doesn't come soon, I'm going to drink the whole bottle of 1982 Lafite by myself."
Xi Muxuan swirled her glass, the crimson liquid drawing a gorgeous arc on the glass wall. "Or does the current Fu CEO no longer have the energy to keep his appointment?"
Fu Jingheng pulled the corner of his mouth and fell into the leather chair: "I'm afraid Mr. Xi didn't ask me out for wine tasting."
His voice was hoarse as if it had been rubbed with sandpaper, and the bloodshot under his eyes had not yet faded. "If you have something to say, just say it."
"That's straightforward." Xi Muxuan pushed a brown paper file bag in front of him.
"Let's take a look at the Xuanyuan Pavilion and the 'Han Lingcui' who is beside Shen Hanxing that you've been thinking about."
The moment Fu Jingheng's fingers touched the file bag, his fingertips trembled slightly.
He pulled out the information inside and his eyes fell on a yellowed old photo.
The girl in the photo has pigtails and her eyes and eyebrows are surprisingly similar to Han Lingcui, but her temperament is more stubborn. "Su Ling" is written below the photo.
"Su Ling?" Fu Jingheng frowned. "Isn't Han Lingcui a colleague of Shen Hanxing, or an assistant?"
"Colleague? Assistant?" Xi Muxuan sneered and leaned forward. The smell of perfume came over with a sense of oppression.
"Fu Jingheng, you are so naive. This woman's original name was Su Ling. She was a victim of the power struggle in Xuanyuan Pavilion. She disfigured herself and changed her appearance to survive as 'Han Lingcui'."
She paused, tapping the photo with her fingertips, “And the Shen Qianxun adopted by Shen Hanxing is Su Ling, no, now she should be called Han Lingcui’s child.”
Fu Jingheng raised his head suddenly, his pupils shrank suddenly: “You mean, Shen Qianxun…”
"That's right, that child is from Xuanyuan Pavilion." Xi Muxuan's voice was as cold as ice. "Xuanyuan Pavilion wanted to be with Su Ling back then."
"But you also know how the Shen family rejected you back then."
“These people want to be matched.”
"A poor boy and a rich girl, or a big CEO and Cinderella, are both impossible."
“So, it’s destined to be torn apart.”
"Su Ling was later murdered and nearly died. She only managed to save her life by going abroad."
Another photo fell out of the file, which was Bai Yu's ID photo in police uniform.
Next to it is a note saying "Bai Yu, former captain of the Criminal Investigation Detachment. His father Bai Zhenhai once worked for a branch of Xuanyuan Pavilion. He died in an 'accidental' fall from a building in 2015."
Fu Jingheng's heart sank suddenly. He remembered the poisonous look in Bai Yu's eyes when he looked at Xuanyuan Pavilion, and finally understood where the hatred came from.
“Xuanyuan Pavilion is now targeting Shen Qianxun,” Xi Muxuan’s voice was low and contained a hint of temptation.
"And Chen Hanxing regards the child as her lifeblood. Guess what Xuanyuan Pavilion will do to Qi Moxun if she doesn't hand the child over?"
"He dares!" Fu Jingheng clenched his fists suddenly, his knuckles turning white.
"Why doesn't he dare?" Xi Muxuan raised her eyebrows, her tone full of sarcasm.
“No matter how powerful Qi Moxun is, he is just an outsider in front of the old monster with complicated connections like Xuanyuan Pavilion.
Chen Hanxing is now caught in the middle. If she doesn't hand over the child, Qi Moxun will die; if she does, she herself will not survive."
She looked at Fu Jingheng's face, which turned pale in an instant, and a sneer appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Fu Jingheng, you don't understand Qi Moxun at all. He will definitely follow Shen Hanxing's ideas."
"In this way, Qi Moxun will definitely confront the Xuanyuan family."
"Even if the Jinbiao Group and the Qi Group were put together, they probably wouldn't be able to do it,"
Fu Jingheng's breathing suddenly became rapid, and the gentle profile of Shen Hanxing when she was holding Shen Qianxun flashed through his mind, and then he remembered her cold and resolute eyes at the engagement party.
He had already lost her.
She can't be put in danger again.
If I could do something for her.
Maybe there will be no forgiveness.
But it might make the gap between them a little less.
in addition.
Xi Muxuan definitely didn't ask him to come here today just to talk about these things.
"What do you want me to do?" His voice trembled with suppressed emotion.
"It's very simple," Xi Muxuan picked up the wine glass and took a sip slowly.
“Help me take Shen Qianxun away from Shen Hanxing and hand him over to Xuanyuan Pavilion.”
"You're crazy!" Fu Jingheng stood up suddenly, and the chair made a harsh sound on the floor. "She will hate me to death!"
"Oh?" Xi Muxuan raised her eyebrows, her eyes as sharp as a knife.
"Do you think she will still look at you straight in the eye now? Fu Jingheng, when you divorced her for Xie Ruxin, you should have thought of this day.
The only way she'll remember you is as a 'savior,'" she drawled deliberately.
"If Qi Moxun collapses because of Xuanyuan Pavilion's revenge, who do you think Shen Hanxing will throw herself into? Will it be the 'fiancé' who put her in a desperate situation, or... the 'ex-husband' who is willing to solve her troubles?"
These words struck Fu Jingheng's chaotic brain like a bolt of lightning.
He looked at the calculation flashing in Xi Muxuan's eyes, but his heart was beating wildly because of that possibility.
Yes, if Qi Moxun falls, he will be the only one left by Shen Hanxing's side... He can make amends, atone for his sins, and catch her again!
"How can you promise..." His voice was filled with a barely perceptible urgency.
"Promise?" Xi Muxuan put down her wine glass, stood up, walked in front of him, and looked down at him.
"Xuanyuan Pavilion wants the child, Bai Yu wants revenge, and I... want Qi Moxun to see the trouble behind Shen Hanxing. We each get what we want."
She pulled out a black card from her purse. "This is the start-up capital, used to arrange manpower. Remember, we need to act quickly. The people from Xuanyuan Pavilion have already started probing us."
Fu Jingheng stared at the black card, then looked out the window in the direction of the Shen Group building, as if he could see Shen Hanxing frowning in the office.
Regret and greed collided violently in his chest, and in the end, the desire to "recover what was lost" overwhelmed everything.
He grabbed the black card suddenly, his fingertips trembling slightly from the force: "What should I do?"
Xi Muxuan raised the corners of her lips in satisfaction and handed him a detailed action plan.
"Han Lingcui will take Shen Qianxun to the 'Sunshine Welfare Home' to volunteer recently. The security there is weak. Bai Yu will meet you there. Remember, don't let Shen Hanxing know that it was you who did it."
She paused, her tone cold, "If you fail, not only will you not be able to get Shen Hanxing back, but even the little property you have left will be taken away by Xuanyuan Pavilion."
Fu Jingheng clenched his fists, and the long-lost fierce light rekindled in his eyes.
