Chapter 187 Account
Diao Huai saw the person off, leaving Fu Yushu alone in the large office.
After gazing at the Foucault ornaments on the table for a long time, Fu Yushu slowly stood up and stood with his hands behind his back in front of the French windows.
The setting sun lengthened his shadow, and his tall figure exuded a unique sense of solitude and pride, as if he were aloof from the world.
Beneath his feet were the gradually illuminating lights of countless homes, and the city's scattered residential streets resembled a chessboard, all held in his hands.
Just then, a melodious piano tune began to play, and the phone screen on the table suddenly lit up.
Fu Yushu turned around, glanced at the note on the phone, picked up the phone, and answered it.
Before he could say anything, an angry accusation came through the receiver.
"Fu Yushu, if you have a problem, come at me! What kind of skill is it to bully others! What did Song Ying ever do to you that you dared to kill her! Are you even a man! Bullying a woman, Fu Yushu, you've really gone too far!"
"It wasn't me."
"Who else could it be but you? In the entire country, who doesn't know that Song Ying is the granddaughter of the Jiang family in Mo City and the daughter-in-law of the Qin family in the capital? In the entire Nancheng, apart from the Fu family, what fool would be so foolish as to target her?"
Fu Yuhua sneered, "First you warned all the businesses in Nancheng not to cooperate with me, and now you've turned against my friends. Fu Yushu, I know your methods are dirty, but at least I used to respect you for your courage and integrity, for being a true villain. Now it seems you're just a hypocrite who dares to do things but not admit them! I'll remember this. Just you wait, whether you owe me or my friends, I will collect it all!"
After saying this, the phone suddenly went dead, leaving only a busy tone.
This is the first time since Fu Yushu took over the Fu family business that someone has dared to hang up on him.
"One is brainless, and two are brainless too."
Fu Yushu tossed her phone back onto the table and leaned back on the sofa.
As the last rays of the setting sun sank below the horizon, Fu Yushu also disappeared into the darkness of the tower, which was more than two hundred meters above the ground.

After a night's rest, the fatigue from yesterday's journey dissipated, and Song Ying went to the film set in good spirits to attend the opening ceremony. Before joining the crew, the director had already created a group chat for the actors to communicate and warm up online, so that everyone wouldn't feel awkward in person.
After what happened yesterday, everyone was naturally concerned when they met. There was no shortage of explanations and thanks for their concern. Half an hour later, when the auspicious time arrived, the noisy film set finally quieted down.
The opening ceremony proceeded smoothly.
Meanwhile, inside the Pearl Tower, Fu Yushu rested his elbows on the table, his hands clasped together, supporting his chin as he scrutinized the man who had come to visit.
"So, Mr. Qin also thinks that I, Fu Yushu, did this?"
“Our master’s exact words were: ‘The Fu family is the sky in Nancheng. If you’re ever in doubt, go to Mr. Fu, and you’ll always get an explanation.’ As a lowly messenger, I don’t really know what the master meant, and I dare not presume to guess. But the master said that Mr. Fu is a smart man like him and will know what he meant.”
Peng Wen faced Fu Yushu's scrutiny with composure and fearlessness.
That's a clever way of putting it.
Instead of directly accusing the Fu family of causing trouble behind the scenes, they praised the Fu family's status in Nancheng.
Now that someone is doing this right under the Fu family's nose, the Fu family can deny that it has anything to do with them, but they cannot deny that they were unaware of it.
After all, given the Fu family's absolute power in Nancheng, no one would dare to lay a hand on the wife of the Qin family from the capital without the Fu family's knowledge or permission.
Seeking help from the Fu family is ostensibly a plea for assistance, but secretly a means to demand accountability.
Qin Shu gave Fu Yushu face, and whether or not Fu Yushu accepts this face will directly determine the Qin family's future attitude.
"Since Mr. Qin trusts me, I naturally have to give him an explanation."
Fu Yushu's expression was unreadable.
He rang the table bell, and his assistant, Diao Huai, came in.
"Go and get the things."
"yes."
Not long after, Diao Huai returned, holding a sealed glass container in his hands. The liquid inside the container was swaying slightly, and something was floating inside, which Peng Wen couldn't see clearly at first.
"To Mr. Peng." After giving this instruction, Fu Yushu looked at Peng Wen, "Please help Mr. Peng to pass this gift on to Mr. Qin."
Peng Wen finally saw what was in the liquid.
One ear.
Even where it was cut clean to the root, delicate blood vessels still floated, and the irregular flesh texture and fine hairs on the skin were clearly visible, with vibrant and lifelike colors.
"If Mr. Peng had come last night, he could still feel its warmth."
When Fu Yushu said this, there was a smile on his lips, as if he were talking about a piece of freshly cut pork, not his brother's ear.
Peng Wenqiang suppressed the churning in his stomach, accepted the "instructions," and got up to take his leave.
Despite having witnessed a lot of bloodshed over the years, Peng Wen still finds it hard to accept seeing people storing organs in formalin as specimens in everyday life.
When Diao Huai saw him downstairs, Peng Wen stood up straight, showing no sign of fear.
Once outside the South Pearl Pagoda, avoiding the gaze of those behind him, Peng Wen finally couldn't hold it in any longer and began to vomit while leaning against a roadside tree.
This Fu Yushu is a complete madman!
After vomiting for a while, Peng Wen finally calmed down, pushed up his glasses, glanced at the container, and looked away.
"Brother Wen, what's wrong with you?" Ah Hu, who came with him, got out of the car. "I heard that the South Pearl Pagoda is over two hundred meters tall. Are you afraid of heights?"
"No, I just feel a little nauseous."
When Peng Wen said this, he didn't hide his disgust. He casually took off his coat and wrapped it around the container. This thing was disgusting enough for him alone; there was no need to drag others down with it.
"Let's go back and report."
Meanwhile, on the film set.
I don't know if it's because the casting director was more reliable this time, finding normal actors who don't cause trouble, or because after becoming famous, those people who used to look down on others and have prejudices against you will start to treat you like a human being.
In summary, the filming went smoothly throughout the morning, except for a few takes that were wasted at the beginning when the equipment was being set up for optimal performance and the actors were getting into character.
After all, this is a film that Director Fang is preparing to compete for awards, and the actors' acting skills are all quite good.
It's worth mentioning that the male lead is none other than Gu Junting, the award-winning actor who previously participated in a variety show with him.
"I haven't had a chance to congratulate Teacher Gu on this good news yet."
During the break, upon hearing Song Ying's words, Gu Junting's refined face showed a rare hint of embarrassment.
He initially participated in the dating reality show hoping to learn how to act out romantic scenes and improve his acting skills. Little did he expect that he would end up successfully finding a partner.
The variety show was canceled halfway through, and only lasted for two days, so it didn't have any real effect. If there was any useful aspect, it was that it allowed him to meet Zhao Qingluo and have the good fortune to form a couple with her.
I truly fell in love and became enamored after returning to China.
A wealthy heiress and a top-tier movie star, despite their seven-year age difference, ultimately received blessings from fans and both sets of parents.
A while ago, the two officially announced their relationship, which caused Weibo to crash. Zhao Qingluo immediately shared the good news with Song Ying, whom she admired. However, Song Ying was still filming "Temptation Star" at the time and could only send her blessings via Weibo and WeChat.
If you think about it carefully, ever since they parted ways, she and Zhao Qingluo haven't been able to meet in person because their schedules don't align.
