Chapter 204 Like
"Did you hear that clearly?" Fu Yushu asked.
When Fu Yushu went to the hotel to confront Cheng Lusheng, he had someone bring Fu Yuqi along.
At that time, Fu Yushu had him stand aside and listen to a round of interrogation. Just now, when he was confronting Fu Hongyuan and Cheng Lusheng in the courtyard, Fu Yuqi was also outside, being watched by someone.
After all the questions had been asked, Fu Yushu had someone bring Fu Yuqi in.
“I have made myself clear about what needed to be reminded and what needed to be said. Fu Yuqi, if you still feel that my punishment of you has gone too far, then from now on I will no longer care about you.” As he spoke, Fu Yushu looked at Diao Huai beside him, “Untie him, and bring back all the people who were watching him and following him. From now on, he can do whatever he wants.”
Diao Huai always obeyed Fu Yushu's orders, so he naturally did as he was told.
"Fu Yushu, I will make you regret treating me like this!"
The shame of losing one's ear is no different from the punishment of tattooing.
Fu Yuqi didn't think he was wrong. As a descendant of the Fu family, he even felt he was more suitable than Fu Yushu to be the head of the family. In Nancheng, the Fu family should be able to do whatever they want. What's speeding? What's killing someone? It's not worth Fu Yushu making such a fuss!
The Fu family is certainly not afraid of the Qin family.
There is only one possibility.
"In order to show your gentlemanly manners and principles to Fu Yuhua, you even disregarded our brotherhood. I used to have some doubts, but now I understand. No wonder you've always treated Fu Yuhua differently from others since we were little. It turns out you knew from the very beginning that she has no blood relation with us."
Fu Yuqi scoffed lightly, stepped forward, looked down at Fu Yushu sitting on the sofa, and spoke in a very confident tone.
"You like her. Not the kind of liking between siblings, but the liking a man has for a woman. From a very young age, before she went abroad, you liked her. You were afraid that after Yuan Jing died, she would lose her value in the Fu family, and your father would arrange for her to marry into another wealthy family. You were even more afraid that with her around, your father would use her as a weakness to control you and prevent you from becoming the head of the Fu family. So you would rather let her doubt you and hate you than let her leave Nancheng without hesitation and go to a place where even the Fu family could not reach her."
However, halfway through her sentence, Fu Yuqi seemed to remember something and corrected her previous conclusion, "No, that's not entirely true. Only when she leaves will you have the opportunity to completely sever ties with the Fu family and with you, her brother. Only when she fades from everyone's sight in Nancheng, when everyone forgets that the Fu family has a daughter, will you and she have a new possibility."
The bond between siblings is something the world finds difficult to accept.
Even if she wasn't their biological child, as long as Fu Yuhua lived in the memories of the people of Nancheng, there would always be people speculating whether this so-called "non-biological" relationship was truly not their biological relationship, or just an excuse the Fu family used to cover up this illicit affair.
Of course, no one dared to discuss Fu Yushu.
But when that time comes, Fu Yuhua will inevitably be thrust into the spotlight.
It is easier to dam a river than to silence the people; there are some things that even the Fu family's power cannot control.
The more Fu Yuqi thought about it, the more he felt as if he had glimpsed the deepest secret hidden in Fu Yushu's heart.
He suddenly burst into laughter, moving closer to Fu Yushu. The two brothers stood with one bent over and the other sat lazily. Fu Yuqi was so close that their faces were almost only a finger's width apart, and the breath he exhaled when he spoke directly hit Fu Yushu's face.
"But you never expected Fu Yuhua to come back, did you? And now, not only is she back, she actually considers you the murderer who killed her mother and brother. Even if you try to explain to her now, given her personality, Fu Yushu, do you think Fu Yuhua will still like you? I think she'll just find you disgusting!"
When the word "disgusting" came out, a wicked smile spread across Fu Yuqi's face.
Diao Huai reacted quickly, pulling Fu Yuqi backward as if afraid he might do something to Fu Yushu.
Fu Yushu slightly raised his hand, stopping Diao Huai's actions.
He looked up at Fu Yuqi, who was so close to him, still maintaining his dignified and composed demeanor. "I never regret what I do. I never need anyone to tell me what to do—whether you stay or leave, now is the time for you to make your choice."
Fu Yushu remained calm.
Fu Yuqi felt as if he had punched cotton, unable to find any point of leverage.
Finally, he stepped back a few paces, pointed his index finger at Fu Yushu, and said, "Fine, Fu Yushu, you're something else. Keep pretending! I'll make you regret kicking me out of this door!"
"No one has ever chased you away."
Over the years, Fu Yushu has never wronged Fu Yuqi.
As the elder brother, he did everything he could.
But some trees just like to grow crookedly, and no matter how much you prune them, it's no use. Even if you take drastic measures and cut off half of the side branches, they will still rebound and grow fiercely.
Adults must take responsibility for their choices.
If that's the case, then he's willing to respect the fate of others.
In fact, Fu Hongyuan's assessment of Fu Yushu was only half right.
He was both affectionate and ruthless.
Father, brothers, blood ties—all were meaningless to Fu Yushu, and he had always treated them with indifference.
He didn't even care much about himself.
Fu Yuqi, filled with rage, slammed the door and left.
Fu Yushu remained seated on the sofa, his expression unchanged, and even his movements remained largely the same.
“Sir…” Diao Huai was somewhat worried.
"I'm fine." Fu Yushu stood up and looked around. "Check everything here to see if Fu Hongyuan left anything else behind. Our evidence is missing the last link."
Soon, the sounds of someone ransacking the courtyard could be heard.
Fu Yushu took the butterfly knife from Diao Huai, walked to the nearby fairy chair, and with a pry of the knife tip, pulled out the inconspicuous miniature listening device that was attached to the gap.
Immediately afterwards, a coin-sized eavesdropping device was thrown on the ground. The faint information light flashed twice, and as he lifted his foot to crush the device, the light went completely out.
"Sir, this...aren't you going to investigate?"
"Need not."
He knew who it was.
Fu Yushu raised his head and looked at a gap in the ceiling tiles.
The sanatorium was a retirement home he built for Fu Hongyuan, giving him his final dignity, but ultimately it was still Fu Yushu's own place.
On his turf, everyone who came and did what, and everything Fu Hongyuan said, was naturally under his control.
-
After a piercing sound, the headset emitted a few static noises before quickly going silent.
Fu Yuhua took out her phone and saw that there were no connected devices. She quickly realized that her eavesdropping device had most likely been discovered by Fu Yushu's people.
Suppressing the overwhelming surge of information within her, she quickly composed herself and left the sanatorium before anyone else could get around.
However, just as she reached out to hail a taxi, the mutation occurred again.
