Fu Jingchen put it to his ear and listened.
The man's face turned deathly pale instantly.
That was Rong Bing's own voice recording. In the audio, Rong Bing would occasionally call out "Jing Chen, husband."
Fu Jingchen deleted the recording; he had been tricked by Rong Bing.
As if she could see everything, Rong Bing sent another message: "Deleting it won't help. I have the source file. I'll be waiting for you at home tonight. Don't come too early."
After sending the message, Rong Bing wiped away her tears. She had planned to use the recording to blackmail Fu Jingchen later, but she didn't expect to need it so soon.
She comforted herself by saying that she had no choice; if Fu Jingchen hadn't wronged her first, why would she have resorted to such despicable means?
Seeing that Rong Bing's emotions were gradually stabilizing, Chen Xiu cooked her a bowl of noodles.
Rong Bing checked the time; it was almost nine o'clock. She was certain that Fu Jingchen would come. After reluctantly eating some noodles, she repeatedly assured Chen Xiu that she would not go out and told her to go back.

At the Lu Mansion, Liang Jia's mood improved, and the continued negative news about the Fu family suited her just fine.
The woman, who had been drinking porridge for several days, asked her aunt to prepare a big meal.
She invited her lawyer and Lu Kai's assistant to dinner.
The woman repeatedly scrolled through the news, replying to comments that interested her.
Laughter and conversation filled the once lifeless house.
Liang Jia was so eager to go to the Fu family's gate and unfurl a banner to celebrate. In order to make things even more complicated, Liang Jia spent money to hire some online trolls to fan the flames amidst the negative news.
When the media called Rong Yan again, the woman was already numb.
“One negative comment is the same as a hundred, it doesn’t matter,” Rong Yan replied.
She turns off her phone at night and doesn't look at anything.
The four children were unaware of the news online, but they could tell that their parents were unhappy.
Fu Yunting makes funny faces, Fu Yunlei tells jokes...
Rong Yan felt a pang of pain in her heart as she looked at the children in front of her who were trying so hard to make her happy.
Fu Jingsheng pulled the four children to his side: "We're not unhappy. It's so late, let's go to our rooms and go to sleep."
Fu Yunlei hugged his father's neck: "Dad, we've grown up and will protect you and Mom."
"Okay, go to sleep now." Rong Yan said, stroking the child's face.
The children obediently went back to their rooms.
Fu Jingsheng was no longer willing to sit idly by and wait for his doom.
He discussed with his wife, Rongyan, "Running away won't solve the problem. We shouldn't compromise. I'll reissue a statement right away to clarify the whole story. If we give in to Liang Jia's threats, and someone else follows her example, won't we be forced to compromise forever?"
“I was just about to tell you this too. Liang Jia is all alone, but we’re a family. We’re not afraid of her. I’ll finish writing the content now, and we’ll send it out at the same time.” Rong Yan suddenly understood.
Han Yue came out of the room and overheard their conversation. She joined in, saying, "Me too. Send me a copy as well. We're not afraid of her. The Fu family is not to be trifled with. I also believe that if we unite, we can definitely protect the children."
Fu Jingsheng and his group are finally going to rebel.
"Mom, I'm going to call Jingchen." Fu Jingsheng didn't forget to inform his younger brother. He believed that no matter how many grudges they had in the past, they would be united against a common enemy at this moment.
After finishing his meal with his adoptive mother, Fu Jingchen took Zhou Luo to the hotel. Just as he was wondering what excuse he could use to visit Rong Bing, his brother called, asking if he was free to come over.
Fu Jingchen agreed without hesitation.
"Luo Luo, my brother asked me to go to his house. I guess something's up. I have to go now," Fu Jingchen said, kissing Zhou Luo's forehead.
"Okay, see you tomorrow." The woman helped Fu Jingchen put on his coat.
The main reason is that they had dinner with Han Yue today, and Han Yue didn't seem hostile towards them, so Zhou Luo didn't mind Han Yue, and Fu Jingchen could go if he wanted to.
Fu Jingsheng sent the location to his younger brother and told him to keep the new home address a secret.
The fact that his brother told him the address of his new home was the greatest sign of his trust in him. Besides, Fu Jingchen needed his brother's help to come up with a plan on how to completely cut off contact with Rong Bing.
"Brother, don't worry, I won't tell anyone," Fu Jingchen replied.
At 10 p.m., Rong Bing looked at the clock on the wall. Had Fu Jingchen arrived yet?
She sent another message: "I'll wait for you until midnight."
The man heard the notification tone, glanced at it, stopped the car, and replied, "Later."
Lanshan Garden.
Fu Jingchen rang the doorbell.
After Fu Jingsheng opened the door, he glanced around and noticed that the house looked quite small.
It's smaller than where I live.
"Brother, do you live here?" Fu Jingchen blurted out.
"Okay, change your shoes." Fu Jingsheng could tell from his brother's implication that the place they lived in now was completely different from what they used to live in.
Fu Jingchen and his brother walked into the living room, where their adoptive mother and Rong Yan were both present.
"Mom," Fu Jingchen called out, then nodded to Rong Yan.
"Have a seat." Han Yue pulled out the chair opposite her.
"Jingchen, there were some things I couldn't say during dinner with Zhou Luo." Han Yue didn't mention her eldest son's affairs in front of her younger son.
"I know, Mom. We're family. Today, we're all having a heart-to-heart talk. I... I've also run into trouble." Fu Jingchen lowered his eyes, stammering, unsure how to tell everyone what happened yesterday.
Rong Yan squeezed some juice and poured it for everyone.
Fu Jingsheng sat opposite his younger brother and lit a cigarette. Fu Jingchen could tell that everyone was preoccupied.
“Brother, I…” Fu Jingchen hesitated.
"You didn't get caught up in what netizens said, did you? Your girlfriend's best friend who cheated on you?" Fu Jingsheng asked, taking a deep drag on his cigarette.
“It’s even more serious than that,” Fu Jingchen said vaguely.
"Tell me about your business first." Han Yue was unaware of what other trouble her youngest son had gotten into, and she asked anxiously, "You're not dating both of them, are you?"
"I was tricked by Rong Bing." Fu Jingchen told his adoptive mother and the others about what had happened in the past few days through gritted teeth.
Han Yue poked Fu Jingchen in the back: "Don't you know who she is? You dare to go see her alone? I'll have your brother go with you later."
Fu Jingsheng rubbed his temples: "I learned how to drug people from you."
"Brother," Fu Jingchen called out, drawing out the last syllable, "I already know I was wrong."
“Fu Jingsheng, bring the recording pen. Rong Bing will never delete the recording easily. If you go there, you might be tricked again.” Rong Yan knew her too well; her purpose was definitely not just to see Fu Jingchen.
"I misspoke. Give the recorder to Fu Jingchen. Fu Jingsheng, wait outside. You two keep talking on your phones. Fu Jingchen should not eat or drink anything Rong Bing prepares. When you come inside, be careful of her lighting incense or something. If Fu Jingsheng can't understand the voice, go over there immediately." Rong Yan earnestly instructed.
"Also, no matter what you do, you must keep an eye on Rong Bing to prevent her from harming you."
Fu Jingchen felt a chill run down his spine: "If that's the case, I'm not going. Let her post whatever she wants. My life is more important."
“Now you know life is important.” Fu Jingsheng glanced at his younger brother. “You and Zhou Luo are a bit too hasty. Not to mention Rong Bing, I think you two are moving too fast. You’ve found new girlfriends in just a few days. It’s hard not to suspect that the two of you have been in contact for a long time.”
