Chapter 212 Awareness
Qin Shu shook his head. "I don't know. It depends on how the inspection team determines it. It's not something we can control."
How can someone who feeds a tiger with their own body possibly escape unscathed?
Song Ying suddenly understood why Fu Yushu had insisted on sending Fu Yuhua away. It wasn't just because he didn't want her to get involved, but more importantly, to prevent her from doing anything out of control after learning about these things.
From the very beginning, he was prepared to die together with everyone else and never considered his own situation.
They had long been prepared not to escape unscathed.
"Do you know where Yu Hua is right now?" Song Ying grabbed Qin Shu's hand, her tone urgent.
So much time has passed; given Fu Yuhua's intelligence, she's bound to discover something. Fu Yuhua needs someone by her side, especially until Fu Yushu's matter is resolved; she needs to be there for her.
“Yunshan Island. That’s a private island that Fu Yushu bought. It’s not under Fu Yushu’s name, so it’s not considered part of the Fu family’s property.”
"take me."

Song Ying ultimately did not set off for Yunshan Island.
After the two finished their meal, Qin Shu asked someone to arrange the trip to Yunshan Island. At that time, Song Ying received a contact message from Fu Yuhua, who had been the first to receive the message.
Let's rewind to half a day ago.
Fu Yuhua waited for Fu Yushu on Yunshan Island for a full twelve days.
In those twelve days, she completed an entire book of design manuscripts, more than the total number of design manuscripts she usually completed in a year; she walked around Yunshan Island seventeen times, three hours each time, enjoying the sea breeze, watching the sunset and sunrise, and even witnessing the surging waves of the night.
The westernmost birch forest has a total of 198 birch trees. There are two more, one of which is dead and has charred marks, I don’t know if it was caused by lightning; the other one was probably too thin and weak due to malnutrition and was broken by the sea breeze, and never sprouted a new bud again.
There are 365 long stone slabs in the rose garden on the south side, but the spacing between them seems a bit unscientific. The slabs are embedded in the grass, and walking on them is difficult; stepping on just one slab is too close together, while stepping on every other one is too far apart. It's easy to step on a slab on the first step and then onto the grass on the second. Fu Yuhua thought that she must raise this issue when she saw Fu Yushu next time, and the slabs should be repaved.
The largest rock on the eastern beach has thirteen rings of patterns on it, and the smaller one next to it has patterns that look like a pig. Sitting on it, you can get a perfect view of the sunrise.
After watching the tenth sunrise—two of which were cloudy and without sun—Fu Yuhua stood up, brushed the fine sand off her clothes, and went back into the only hut on the entire island with a cell phone signal.
"I want to see Fu Yushu." Her expression was calm, her tone even, yet her words left no room for argument.
"Miss Fu, Mr. Fu is busy. He said he will come to the island to pick you up after this period of time is over." The person who escorted Fu Yuhua here was called Lao Wu. He was big and burly, but very polite.
"What about the phone? Even if he's busy, he can still eat, drink, sleep, and go to the bathroom. I only need one minute. Please help me get on a video call with him."
"I'm sorry, Miss Fu, about this..."
"He's in trouble, isn't he? The Fu family is in trouble." Fu Yuhua said with certainty.
From the very beginning, her purpose was not to meet Fu Yushu or to have a video call with him, but to test him.
Fu Yushu is in trouble—this was a possibility she had guessed the night before she was sent to Yunshan Island. Fu Yushu did not deny it, which meant she was right.
So when she found herself on Yunshan Island, Fu Yuhua did not resist. She didn't want to cause trouble for Fu Yushu, so she was willing to wait for him to resolve the matter and explain it to her.
But now twelve days have passed.
Fu Yushu has been out of contact with anyone, and even Lao Wu and the others have become visibly irritable in the past few days, but they remain calm and polite when facing her.
Now she can't even get through on the phone for a minute. If she still can't realize that Fu Yushu is in big trouble, then she has really wasted the past twenty years.
"You're all worried about him too, aren't you?" Fu Yuhua looked at the fifth brother. "I can't contact the outside world, but you can. Let me guess, something's happened to the Fu family, and it should be common knowledge online by now. Not to mention you're insiders, you'd know even more. You work for Fu Yushu, but now he's in so much trouble, you really want to help, but you're bound by his orders, so you can only stay here watching over me, anxiously waiting. Am I right?"
Fu Yuhua pulled out a small knife from somewhere and placed it against her neck. "I have a way to prevent Fu Yushu from blaming you—if he asks, say that I threatened to kill myself, and you had no choice but to tell me the truth and take me away from the island back to Nancheng."
Fu Yuhua had almost come up with a reason for them.
-
On the way back to Nancheng, Fu Yuhua learned the whole story from Lao Wu and further understood Fu Yushu's current situation through related updates on the internet.
She wasn't a reckless person. Knowing that if she exposed herself directly, she would inevitably become a handle for others to use against Fu Yushu, so after some thought, she took the initiative to contact Song Ying after seeing the news that her new drama had wrapped up filming.
Song Ying met Fu Yuhua at the new hotel arranged by Qin Shu.
Compared to the hotel where the film crew stayed, this place is more comfortable, more private, and better confidential, which can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.
Most importantly, safety.
"Fu Yushu's current situation is rather delicate, but better than the rest of the Fu family. He has produced so much evidence, which is a great achievement. In addition, the investigation team is currently scrutinizing his actions during the six years he has been in charge of the Fu family. It is not difficult to find that he is completely different from Fu Hongyuan and his ilk. Although the Fu family is destined to be ruined, he is himself, unlike the Fu family. He has not done anything wrong. In a police drama, he could be considered an undercover agent. So don't worry too much. I believe the inspection team will make a fair judgment."
What Song Ying said was the result of her analysis with Qin Shu during dinner, based on the current situation, and she was now using it to comfort Fu Yuhua.
After placing the hot water in front of Fu Yuhua, Song Ying continued, "Compared to how this matter is classified, what we should be most worried about right now is Fu Yushu's safety. Those who have been implicated are all looking for an opportunity to retaliate against him. However, with the military involved, protecting an ordinary citizen is not a problem. So you don't need to worry. I'll stay with you these next few days, and I'll be there to deal with any developments together."
Fu Yuhua stroked the paper cup, seemingly oblivious to the scalding heat of the water. Gazing at the rippling surface, she couldn't help but think of Fu Yushu again.
-
Because the chain of evidence was so strong and the incident involved a wide range of people, the inspection team temporarily added more personnel. Finally, five days later, they verified all the evidence and officially confirmed the criminal facts of more than 400 people involved in the case in Nancheng.
The higher-ups issued direct orders to severely punish those involved without leniency. Some soldiers escorted key suspects to the capital, while others remained stationed in the southern part of the city to maintain stability and complete the final cleanup work.
On the special train back, Fu Yuhua met Fu Yushu.
