Eager to catch the culprit quickly, Fu Shiqin kept checking the time, waiting for information to be sent from Country A.
With the agreed two hours fast approaching and still no word from the other party, he began to get restless.
"Shang Rong wouldn't go back on his word, would he?"
Previously, after bringing down the Gu family, his brother cooperated with the second in line to the throne of the A royal family to bring down Shang Xu, the first in line. Now, Shang Rong has firmly taken control of the A royal family.
When his brother mentioned seeking out the royal family of Kingdom A, he was undoubtedly referring to him, since Shang Rong was currently the one wielding the most power in Kingdom A.
Without his permission, they could not have secretly placed Gu Siting under house arrest in Country A without being discovered by the outside world.
"It's not that bad. He won't benefit from offending your Fu family," Gu Weiwei said.
Fu Shiyi looked at Gu Weiwei lying on the bed, "Sister-in-law, you seem to know this Shang Rong very well?"
"I don't know him, I've only met him a few times before." Gu Weiwei rolled her eyes at him. In front of her husband, she said she knew other men? Was she kidding?
Previously, because I lived in the Gu family, I had a lot of dealings with the royal family of A. I had met Shang Rong at several royal banquets, but we were just nodding acquaintances.
But back then, my impression of Shang Rong was that he was a playboy with a constant stream of female companions and a lot of romantic affairs.
In retrospect, it was all a facade; he had been secretly plotting to bring down Shang Xu, the first in line to the throne, who was standing in his way.
Thanks to his collaboration with Fu Hanzheng, he has now truly succeeded.
As they were discussing this, Fu Hanzheng's phone rang again.
"I've sent the items to your email, so we're even now," Shang Rong said.
Fu Hanzheng said indifferently, "That depends on whether what you give is useful."
"I've already done a great deal by allowing your people to detain Gu Siting in Country A and suppressing public opinion. One shouldn't be too greedy, President Fu," Shang Rong reminded him.
"There's a saying in China, 'Crossing the river and then dismantling the bridge,' and that's exactly what you're doing now." After saying that, Fu Hanzheng hung up the phone to check his email.
He supported Shang Rong in bringing down the Gu family's backers, Shang Xu and Prince Zhao Qi, and Shang Rong is now in charge of the A Kingdom's royal family as a result.
He's unhappy about just asking me to help him look into something; isn't that just kicking someone when they've served their purpose?
Fu Hanzheng retrieved his laptop and checked his emails, which included video materials and photos.
When Fu Shiqin turned to a photo, he exclaimed in surprise.
"It's him, it's definitely him."
Although they didn't get a clear picture of his face, he had seen countless photos and videos of this figure, and it was definitely him.
Fu Hanzheng remained silent, flipping through several identity documents; the information Shang Rong had sent was very detailed.
The videos, photos, and personal information of everyone that the old man from the Gu family had contacted were all meticulously categorized and sent over.
Fu Shiyi looked at it and quickly said.
"Then what are we waiting for? Let's arrest them!"
Fu Hanzheng glanced at the corresponding identity information, took a picture of one of the images with his phone, and then sent it to Shang Rong, who had given him the information.
"Leave this person to me."
Shang Rong sounded quite troubled, "He's a law-abiding citizen who hasn't broken any laws. If I arrest him and hand him over to you, it will have a negative impact."
"Speak, what are your conditions?" Fu Hanzheng said directly.
Shang Rong didn't stand on ceremony and directly proposed the terms of the exchange.
"We hope to participate in oil projects in the Middle East."
"Your appetite is far too great," Fu Hanzheng said coldly.
“I’m not that greedy. It’s just about a win-win situation. You can’t take advantage of me so easily,” Shang Rong said.
Fu Hanzheng considered it for a moment, then said, "Deal."
