Chapter 316 Because I Love You
Fu Hongkai chuckled and said, "Why are you feeling sorry for her now? You weren't like this before, were you?"
Fu Shenyuan said, "I don't understand what you're saying. Ranxing is my wife after all. If I shouldn't defend her, then who should I defend?"
"Alright! What's all the noise about!" Old Master Fu shouted, successfully stopping them. "If you keep arguing, go outside and argue!"
The living room fell silent instantly.
Grandpa Fu then asked, "Tell me, what were you arguing about just now?"
Fu Hongkai seized this rare opportunity and showed the old man all the "evidence" he had brought.
The old butler handed him his glasses, and Old Master Fu looked at the reports in front of him.
"Dad, I'm not trying to criticize Shen Yuan, but you know that the project we secured is one of the most important new business ecosystem projects in China. It's not only Fu's Group's top priority project, but it's also favored by higher-ups. And look at what it's become now."
Fu Shenyuan didn't react to this, but patiently said, "Second Uncle, as I've said before, I didn't handle these approvals. I was still in the hospital at the time, how could I have made any decisions?"
"Easy for you to say! Do you think you can completely shirk responsibility by talking like that?" Fu Hongkai said sarcastically. "Whoever is in charge is the one to be held accountable when something goes wrong. You can't be unaware of that, can you? Do I need to explain it to you again, Shen Yuan? Since you're in this position, you have to take responsibility."
Fu Hongkai looked at his father and said, "Dad, now that the project has run into problems, isn't it normal for me to put Shen Yuan in charge? Are we supposed to pay the price for this wrong decision?"
"So what do you want? Tell me?" Old Master Fu asked.
Fu Hongkai said righteously, "Of course, Shen Yuan himself patched up this loophole. Our project absolutely cannot stop, otherwise the daily losses will exceed twice the cost, which will be a major blow to our cash flow."
"Shen Yuan, what do you think? Do you have any ideas?"
Fu Shenyuan did not respond to Old Master Fu's question, but looked at Fu Hongkai and said, "Second Uncle, what do you think I should do? I am young and do not have as much experience as you in dealing with this kind of thing. I hope you can give me some advice."
Fu Hongkai smiled. Fu Shenyuan's words were exactly what he wanted to hear; it was as if he had willingly jumped into a trap.
"After all, this is a company matter, and I don't recommend you use any other methods. How about this, you can sell some of your shares. That would quickly alleviate your predicament, since it's impossible to find such a large raw material supplier in a short period of time."
Fu Shenyuan smiled.
They took the bait, just as expected.
Even Grandpa Fu and Jiang Ranxing realized something when they heard these words.
"Second Uncle, is this what you're after?"
Fu Hongkai narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
Fu Shenyuan beckoned Tan Shen over, who then brought over another document, which Fu Shenyuan immediately tossed in front of Fu Hongkai.
"Second Uncle, that problematic supplier, you had dinner together before, right? Let me see which day it was, it seems like it was the third day of my hospitalization. But you seem to have been too careless. How could you choose a hotel under the Fu Group? Isn't that making it obvious to everyone?"
Fu Hongkai's expression immediately changed, becoming much uglier.
"You two know each other, right, Second Uncle?" Fu Shenyuan asked.
Fu Hongkai naturally refused to admit it: "I'm the vice president of the Fu Group. What's wrong with having dinner with a project supplier? What law is against it?"
"Is the law prohibiting business partners from eating together?"
"Please don't rush, take a look at the documents in your hand before you speak."
Fu Hongkai picked up the document and began to read it casually, but his face froze completely.
While Fu Hongkai was still in a daze, Tan Shen handed the document back to Old Master Fu.
After reading it, Old Master Fu scolded, "You scoundrel!"
Fu Hongkai seemed to be jolted awake and hurriedly explained, "Dad! Listen to me, this has nothing to do with me. It was the person in charge of the marketing department who wanted to do it. I didn't know anything about it, Dad!"
"Hongkai! Are you trying to drive me crazy? You'd go to such lengths to harm Shen Yuan, do you even care about our family anymore?!"
Old Master Fu hated betrayal more than anything else in his life, not just from outsiders, but especially from his own family.
By doing this, Fu Hongkai essentially erased all the compassion in his heart.
Fu Hongkai was already angry. He had come today intending to complain about Fu Shenyuan to Old Master Fu, but he didn't expect to be tricked by Fu Shenyuan instead. He couldn't hold back his anger any longer.
"Dad! No matter what, Shen Yuan is the main person in charge of this project. Even if I made a wrong decision, I shouldn't bear the main responsibility. You can't be so biased. I know you protect him, but I'm also your son. Shouldn't you consider me too?"
Old Master Fu nearly coughed up blood: "You! What are you saying!"
"Am I wrong? Just because he's Fu Hongjin's son, you favor him in everything! You've never really cared about me as your son. You always oppose whatever I want to do, but you grant Fu Shenyuan's every wish. All of this should be mine!"
"you!"
"grandfather!"
"Grandpa, how are you?"
Grandpa Fu was so angry that he coughed up blood and clutched his heart in great pain. Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing immediately surrounded him.
After Fu Hongkai stood up, he did not go forward, but instead looked around from a distance.
He knew what the old man was thinking: he might as well just die. But then he thought again, he couldn't just let him die like that. The contents of the will were all in Fu Shenyuan's favor. He had to make the old man change the will, no matter what it took.
So he pretended to look regretful and went up to them, but Fu Shenyuan pushed him away.
"Fu Shenyuan! What are you doing!" Fu Hongkai roared. "I'm your elder! How dare you lay a hand on me?!"
Fu Shenyuan's eyes were icy cold: "Finally, I need to ask you, what you just said to Grandpa, were you hoping Grandpa would die soon?!"
Fu Hongkai was speechless: "You! It's all because of you! If it weren't for you, would your grandfather have become like this?"
Fu Shenyuan sneered: "You make it sound so nice, as if I'm the one who really did something wrong. Second Uncle, have you forgotten what you did? Do you remember what you did in the old shopping mall acquisition project? Do I need to remind you how those people died?"
Fu Hongkai's face instantly turned ashen and terrifying.
No, that's impossible. Did Fu Shenyuan know about what he did?
Impossible. How could anyone know? Those things were done so meticulously and secretly that no one should know.
Fu Hongkai wanted to ask something more, but Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing had already pushed Old Master Fu back upstairs.
The main hall of the old house was in complete disarray, with servants coming and going and medical teams bustling about.
Fu Hongkai looked around and quietly left the old villa.
Back in the car, Fu Hongkai immediately instructed his secretary: "Go and investigate those dead people related to the acquisition project. Weren't they all settled with money? Why did Fu Shenyuan bring this up today?"
The secretary asked doubtfully, "Really? These things have been settled long ago, how could he possibly know?"
"I don't know. Go find someone to check. If there are any unresolved issues, go and resolve them as soon as possible."
"Okay, don't worry, there won't be any problems."
Even as he said this, Fu Hongkai was still very uneasy.
Not long after, the secretary received a message from Dr. Li at the old house.
“Vice President, the Chairman’s condition has stabilized for the time being, so you don’t need to worry. However, when do you plan to make your move? After what happened today, I’m afraid the Chairman is even less willing to give you the shares.”
Fu Hongkai said, "The old man definitely doesn't want to. He forced me to this point. You should send a message to Dr. Li so that he can make his move."
The secretary replied, "Okay, but after that drug is administered, the old man's mind will gradually become confused. Once the dosage reaches a certain level, the old man will not survive. You can't hesitate any longer; you must act as soon as possible."
Fu Hongkai narrowed his eyes, his heart hardening completely: "Just consider it the old man giving me back what he owed me. He should rest in peace now."
The old Fu family residence.
The old butler closed the door to Old Master Fu's bedroom.
"Young Master Sun, Young Madam Sun, you must have been frightened today. The Master is alright for now, but he won't wake up for a while and needs to rest. I'll have someone take you home."
Fu Shenyuan waved his hand: "No need, you take good care of Grandpa, we'll be leaving now."
"Okay, be careful on the road, drive slowly."
Fu Shenyuan and Jiang Ranxing stepped out of the old house. After breathing in the fresh air, Jiang Ranxing took a deep breath.
"I'm sorry I scared you today." Fu Shenyuan stood beside her, turned his head and said to her, his tone gentle and comforting.
Jiang Ranxing sighed softly, "It's alright, I can accept it, it's just your grandfather..."
"Grandpa is dying. The doctor said he probably doesn't have much time left, so I want to try my best to fulfill his wishes. That's why I'm contacting you."
“Oh, I see,” Jiang Ranxing said. “That’s only right, you are your grandfather’s filial child.”
Fu Shenyuan smiled, a slight curl at the corner of his lips.
"Do you want to go home and visit? Yiyi misses you a lot."
"No, I'll take him out for a meal another day."
Fu Shenyuan silently clenched his fist. What he really wanted to say was, "I miss you."
"I want to explain what happened that day to you. I really didn't do it intentionally."
Jiang Ranxing turned around, her clear eyes fixed on him.
Fu Shenyuan continued, "Lin Xuesha drugged me. I didn't run into her. Tan Shen said you were waiting for me to come home, but I didn't expect the drug to be so strong."
"I can resist anyone's temptation, but I can never refuse your approach."
"Because I love you so much, Burning Star."
