Chapter 252 Su Xi is still...
“It’s fine if we don’t divide the property in half, then let’s just do as the court ruled before and give her 30 billion.”
Su Xi quickly waved her hand, "No, that's too much. What would I do with so much money? I really don't need it."
Feng Jinchen gave Su Xi a strange look. When did this woman become such a drama queen? He had never met anyone who didn't love money.
Although he was reluctant to give up 30 billion, it was already much better than half of his family fortune. Moreover, with Feng Jue around, he wouldn't dare to play any tricks.
At worst, we can get the money back from Su Xi later.
Feng Jinchen immediately called the bank manager and initiated a large transfer.
Su Xi kept waving her hands to refuse, but she still heard the sound of the money being deposited into her account. She could only watch the assassin beside her longingly; it wasn't that she didn't want to refuse, but she absolutely had to get the money.
The assassin had a toothache. His hand, gripping the knife, trembled involuntarily.
After the transfer was completed, Feng Jinchen looked at Su Xi and asked, "Now we can finally get a divorce, right?"
"No need to leave."
The crowd exchanged bewildered glances before finally confirming that it was indeed Feng Jue who had spoken.
Everyone looked over and saw the man move his lips again, a cold smile playing on his lips, "Because Su Xi is still unmarried."
What?
Feng Jinchen's eyes widened, and the assassin almost dropped the knife in his hand.
Just as everyone was stunned and distracted, Feng Jue suddenly turned around, pulled Su Xi into his arms, and held her tightly.
Almost simultaneously, two bodyguards rushed out from the side and subdued the assassin in an instant, causing the knife in his hand to clatter to the ground.
Seeing the gleaming blade, Feng Jinchen realized that Su Xi had been taken hostage, which explained why she had been acting strangely today.
But that wasn't what he was concerned about right now. Feng Jinchen glared fiercely at Feng Jue, "Uncle, you say you're unmarried? I don't believe it."
"If you can do something once, you can naturally do it a second time. But I didn't expect that you would be so foolish, not only once, but a second time. I should thank you for your cooperation."
Feng Jinchen choked, his neck stiff, "Since she's unmarried, why should she take that 30 billion?"
"This is what you owe her."
Feng Jinchen's eyes widened in fury. "Su Xi, you actually conspired with outsiders to trick me?"
"No, it's your mother who conspired with outsiders to trick you. This assassin was sent by Liu Yufeng."
With a glance from Feng Jue, Liu Cheng whispered something in the assassin's ear. The assassin's expression changed drastically, and he quickly confessed, "It was Liu Yufeng who asked me to kidnap Su Xi to get a divorce. She also said that after the divorce, she would take her to the western suburbs and bury her alive. The pit has already been dug, and I have accomplices guarding it."
"You're talking nonsense!" Feng Jinchen didn't care whether Liu Yufeng lived or died, but he couldn't have a murderer as his mother.
“Everything I said is true. I still have recordings of my phone calls with Liu Yufeng on my phone, as well as records of the money transfers she made to me.”
Seeing the police cars arrive with sirens blaring, taking the killer away, and taking a statement with Liu Yufeng's name clearly written in the interrogation record,
Feng Jinchen staggered involuntarily, looking at Feng Jue in disbelief, "My mother is your sister-in-law, you wouldn't be thinking of..."
"That's right, she'll probably be spending her remaining years in jail."
How could you be so heartless?
Feng Jue sneered, "She brought this on herself. In recent days, many people have been openly or secretly harming Su Xi. Let's make an example of Liu Yufeng. I'd like to see who dares to harm her in the future."
Looking at the man's cold profile, Su Xi couldn't help but clench her fingers.
That day, Feng Jue told her about the plan and asked her to cooperate. She thought it was just a minor punishment, but she never expected him to actually go to such lengths for her.
Isn't he afraid of being condemned by everyone?
Feng Jue glanced back at her and gave her a meaningful look. Su Xi pursed her lips and looked at Feng Jinchen. "Feng Jinchen, I can return the 30 billion to you, and I can also withdraw the lawsuit. I won't let you have a mother who is a murderer. I only have one condition: get my brother surgery right now."
Upon hearing this, Feng Jinchen was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter, "Feng Jue, Su Xi, I only now realize that this was a trap set by the two of you."
Unfortunately, I'm not going to be a pawn. Do whatever you want, I won't have the surgery. Just watch Luo Chen die.
Feng Jinchen, acting like a madman, left laughing maniacally. Feng Jue had schemed for so long, using so many tricks, only to ultimately try and win the heart of a beauty with his bone marrow; he wouldn't let him succeed.
Feng Jinchen can do anything in his life, except make wedding dresses for others.
He wanted to see if Su Xi would hate him to death after Feng Jue made such a solemn promise and then watched Luo Chen die in front of them.
He's no longer willing to be a mere tool, no matter the cost.
Sure enough, seeing that Feng Jinchen did not do as expected, Su Xi's panic was clearly visible.
She suddenly looked at Feng Jue.
In the past, this man's strategic brilliance and ability to win battles from afar had stirred her heart, but now she only felt that he was aloof and somewhat cold.
If she had known this would be the outcome, she wouldn't have wanted the money, nor would she have wanted Liu Yufeng to suffer the consequences. She just wanted to quietly stay by Luo Chen's side.
Su Xi didn't want to say a word and tried to walk past the man to leave, but he grabbed her wrist.
Where are you going?
"President Feng, Luo Chen is not a commodity, nor is this a business transaction. You have miscalculated this time. The loss is not just a business deal, but a life. I know you meant well and did not do it intentionally, but I don't want to see you acting superior and disdainful. Please step aside."
Feng Jue tugged at the corners of his lips, trying to appear less icy. "You're going to find Luo Chen? You can't go now."
Su Xi was furious when she heard this, but she tried her best to suppress her anger. "Give me a reason."
“I’m doing this on someone’s behalf.” The man glanced at his watch. “You can go to the hospital in two hours.”
Su Xi shook off the man's hand. "I'm going now."
What happened next was something Su Xi couldn't have imagined. She was actually being held captive by Feng Jue in a hotel near the hospital.
"Su Xi, don't worry..." Feng Jue paused. He wanted to say that Luo Chen would definitely be fine, but thinking of his previous miscalculation, he couldn't make any more boastful claims.
He said calmly, "I will do everything I can to ensure Luo Chen is safe."
Watching the man turn and leave, his back cold, aloof, noble, and domineering, Su Xi collapsed onto the floor, a bitter smile escaping her lips.
She should have known long ago that she and Feng Jue were not the same kind of people; there was a barrier between them.
Although she knew that Feng Jue would never harm Luo Chen, she still couldn't understand or forgive the man's actions.
She has never wanted to distance herself from men more than she does now.
Suddenly, she sat up straight, her eyes shining brightly as she made a phone call.
It took a lot of effort to finally transfer 30 billion to Feng Jue's card. She then set her card to refuse all large transfers unless she personally confirmed them.
She then typed out a message to Feng Jue, word by word, saying, "Mr. Feng, this money buys out all the favors I owe you for saving my life. From now on, let's treat each other like strangers."
Although she wrote it this way, Su Xi knew that she would never see this man again for the rest of her life, nor would she see Feng Jinchen.
She never wants to return to Los Angeles, the city where she was born and raised.
I sent the text message with almost all my might, but it disappeared without a trace, like a stone thrown into the sea.
It's utterly ridiculous that she could have fallen for such a cold and indifferent man.
The Feng family's old house.
Liu Yufeng diligently served food to the old lady and gentleman, but she seemed distracted.
It's already noon, why is there still no news from the assassin? Thinking that Su Xi, that idiot, could never be a match for two grown men and is probably buried underground by now, she couldn't help but reveal a smug look in her eyes.
The old man's face was icy as he blocked Liu Yufeng's chopsticks from picking up fish. "Liu Yufeng, you don't need to pretend to be so attentive. It's already noon. If Jinchen hasn't resolved the trending topic issue by now, he'll have to relinquish his position as president."
Liu Yufeng's face stiffened, and she hurriedly said, "Dad, it takes time to remove the trending topic. Trust me, Jinchen can definitely do it."
Suddenly, the old man received a phone call. He didn't know what the other person said, but his brows first relaxed and then furrowed deeply.
The moment he hung up the phone, his murderous gaze locked onto Liu Yufeng.
"What's wrong, Dad?"
Seeing that the old man wished he could tear her to pieces, Liu Yufeng's eyes darted around, but she just couldn't figure out what he meant.
Seeing the woman before him, so dull-witted and oblivious to the impending disaster, the old man's murderous intent slowly subsided, finally replaced by a hint of pity and helplessness.
"Don't worry, the trending topics have been completely removed. I will do everything I can to help Jinchen keep his position as president."
Liu Yufeng was overjoyed, ecstatic, her smile even harder to suppress than AK's.
As the police officers walked in through the open door, the old man sighed, "It's a pity you shouldn't have laid a hand on Su Xi. Go inside and reflect on your actions."
Actually, what he wanted to say was that it would be better to take action than to be caught with a mountain of evidence and unable to save someone, which would be extremely foolish.
But the police officers were already in front of him, and he didn't have time to say much. He just lowered his voice and said, "If you want your son to stay in the CEO position, don't say things you shouldn't say."
Liu Yufeng was stunned, not understanding what the old man meant by saying all this. Just as she was about to say something, she heard a series of footsteps.
Turning her head, she saw a row of peaked caps, and she fell off her chair to the floor. Looking at the arrest warrant held up in front of her, her legs trembled uncontrollably. "No, it wasn't me, you can't..."
"Dad, Mom, please save me! I don't want to go inside..."
"Su Xi, you'll die a horrible death! You actually locked up my mother-in-law in jail! What a vicious heart you have! If I had known this would happen, I would have rather died than let her enter the Feng family..."
Even as she was being led into the police car, Liu Yufeng's legs were still trembling, and her face was filled with disbelief.
"No, you're fake! You must have been sent by Feng Jue to scare me. I can't go in! I'm a member of the Feng family! Let me go! Let me go..."
It wasn't until she was taken to the police station and interrogated while pinned to a chair that Liu Yufeng was completely dumbfounded.
Upon hearing that Su Xi and Feng Jinchen were not actually married, and that her actions were utterly pointless and a futile act of self-destruction, Liu Yufeng finally broke down completely, sobbing uncontrollably.
The entire police station was filled with Liu Yufeng's shrill, owl-like voice, like the howling of a fierce ghost.
As she cried, she suddenly remembered something. Now that she was imprisoned, she wasn't afraid to talk about the car accident anymore.
"I want to see Feng Jinchen, otherwise I will not confess."
Su Xi stayed in the hotel for a full two hours, maintaining almost the same posture, her legs nearly stiff.
Just then, she heard...
