"Did you wake up and see a woman lying next to you?" Wen Xi asked in a calm voice.
"How...how did you know?"
Fu Dong suddenly looked up at Wen Xi.
"Don't you read social news, Uncle Fu? This kind of routine is nothing new. Oh, and don't tell me that woman is his wife?"
Fu Dong agreed without saying a word.
"What a shameless bunch!"
Wen Chengyi was furious.
"Song Tengda said he was being chased for debt and was short of money. He demanded that I purchase all the materials needed for the project from him, otherwise he would sue me. Old Wen, you know my situation too. He really has me at my wit's end!"
Fu Dong’s achievements today are all thanks to the strong support of his father-in-law.
If he was really sued by Song Tengda and caused a big uproar, he would have to leave the house with nothing.
"I was thinking that even if you guys had a falling out, you're still a family after all, and you'll reconcile sooner or later. Even if they find out, it won't be a big deal. I might as well do him a favor to save myself and not offend anyone."
"Oh, you have a very clever plan."
Wen Chengyi glared at him.
Fu Dong wiped the sweat from his forehead and continued, "But later, when he heard that the building would have to undergo a three-party inspection after completion, he got anxious. I warned him that although it was a donated building, it was for students after all, so the quality couldn't be too poor, otherwise no one would be able to escape if something went wrong.
Who knew he was so bold? He didn't even take my words seriously! The materials he supplied were either stolen or leftovers from other construction sites. I couldn't stop him.
After hearing that the government would be involved in the inspection, he directly suggested to me that we simply burn the evidence to destroy it, so that we can avoid the inspection and everything will be fine.
"So you also knew about the arson?" Wen Xi raised his eyebrows.
Fu Dong nodded.
"I knew about it, but I didn't agree. I set up a special team to find a way to remedy the situation. I even argued with him several times about it. But then I didn't expect this fire to happen. Now that I think about it, if it wasn't an accident, Song Tengda is the most suspicious, and..."
"And what?"
Wen Xi asked.
"I remember that time when he invited me out for drinks, he kept complaining to me about how your parents didn't help him, how they were heartless and ungrateful, and how he would make you pay sooner or later! I even advised him to break his bones and tendons, saying that once you're done being angry, you'll definitely leave him alone. But I never expected that he would actually have evil intentions."
At this point, Fu Dong still found it hard to believe.
"You two are blood relatives, how could it be... I wonder if there really is some misunderstanding here?"
"Call this bastard and ask him out."
"It's not that I don't want to help you, Brother Wen, but ever since the accident, I can't get through to this guy on the phone."
"Where was the last time he invited you for a drink?" Wen Xi thought for a moment and asked.
"A rental house in a village in the city."
In order to prove that what he said was true, Fu Dong hurriedly took them there based on his memory.
However, the group came up empty-handed.
"That family just moved away not long ago."
"I don't know how this man suddenly became rich and now looks down on us."
"She drove off in a BMW. The old lady was so proud and showed off."
The neighbors around talked about it.
In the alley in the distance, Cai Shizhen frowned with a look of worry as she watched the landlord lead Wen Chengyi and the others into the rental house.
"Son, have they discovered what you did? If they sue you..."
