Chapter 295 Please help him
Jiang Ranxing urged Tan Shen to continue.
"You should know that President Wan and President Fu have been investigating something, and now we've made significant progress. We have evidence that can check and balance Vice President Fu Hongkai, so in theory, we should be invincible, but—"
Tan Shen took the tablet computer from the car and showed it to Jiang Ranxing.
"The person who had the evidence suddenly fell ill the day before yesterday, and after being taken to the hospital, they said he was dead."
"Dead?" Jiang Ranxing could hardly believe it. "At this time, it's such a coincidence, and this person is not even forty years old, and has no medical history. How could it be so sudden?"
Tan Shen nodded: "Your guess may be correct. We also highly suspect that it was someone from the vice president's side who did it, with the aim of making this threatening person disappear from this world completely and never be able to speak again."
Jiang Ranxing felt lingering fear as he listened to these words.
She knew that in the business world, everyone would use schemes, plots, and sometimes even resort to unscrupulous means to achieve their goals, but no matter what, she never associated business matters with human lives.
Commercial crimes are still within the realm of normal people's understanding; they are driven astray by the struggle for profit. But once it comes to murder for money, that is a distortion of human nature. Normal people would not want to harm others.
Of course, this was also very shocking for Jiang Ranxing, as she had never encountered anything like it before.
"But what can I do?" Jiang Ranxing sighed and put down the tablet.
Tan Shen said, "I'm asking you, Madam, to go and oversee the group. The chairman and President Fu are both ill, and the vice president is moving faster and faster. I'm worried that they might take advantage of this to snatch away the bidding project that President Fu just won. This project is taking up most of the group's cash flow. If it's not handled properly, and given their malicious manipulation, President Fu might be burdened with huge debts, or even economic crimes. So, I'd like to ask you to go and take charge of the group. You are a major shareholder of the Fu Group. If you can be in charge as President Fu's wife, they won't be able to easily touch this project."
Jiang Ranxing listened to his rational analysis and remained motionless for a while.
"I know this request might be difficult for you, but I have no other choice. I am President Fu's assistant, and professionally, I must consider the president's best interests. Personally, President Fu has truly repented for you. In all these years I've been by his side, I've never seen him so persistent for anyone or anything, even at the cost of his own life. He didn't even go to this extent with Miss Lin. He treats you differently, so could you—"
Before Tan Shen could finish speaking, Jiang Ranxing's expression changed.
"So I have to listen to you and help Fu Shenyuan without holding grudges?"
Jiang Ranxing was visibly angry, and Tan Shen seemed unaware of what had caused her to be so upset.
"Madam, that's not what I meant. You've misunderstood," Tan Shen hurriedly explained.
She chuckled softly, then revealed an expression that Tan Shen had never seen before.
"Whether it's you or Yuqin, you both use a seemingly humble and sincere attitude to tell me how difficult Fu Shenyuan's situation is, how he realized his mistakes, and how much he regrets them. You say I should accept his reconciliation as a matter of course, and if I don't, I'm ungrateful, right? That's what you mean, isn't it? In reality, you're both siding with Fu Shenyuan to morally blackmail me, to make me compromise, and to make me go back to being Jiang Ranxing who only knows how to stand by Fu Shenyuan's side."
Jiang Ranxing exhaled a breath of scorching air, causing the emotions surging within him to fully surface.
"I have no reason to forgive him, and I believe you would do the same if you were in his shoes."
Tan Shen lowered his head guiltily: "Madam, I really didn't mean that. I don't want to force you. If you don't want to, just consider it a mistake and don't take it to heart."
She sighed helplessly and closed her eyes. No matter what he said, the words had already been spoken and couldn't be taken back.
Like those past hurts and scars etched in the heart, they can never be easily erased with just a few words like "I know I was wrong and I will change".
"I'm sorry, I was a little emotional too, it wasn't directed at you."
Tan Shen was somewhat flustered: "Madam, you don't need to apologize to me."
A silence fell over the car for a moment. After a while, she asked, "What does the group need me to do? I'm just a public relations director and only hold 10% of the shares. It seems that Fu Hongkai has more say in all aspects."
"Madam, you've agreed to help President Fu?" Tan Shen was somewhat incredulous. After all, Jiang Ranxing had just been angry about this, and now she was suddenly saying this, leaving him momentarily speechless.
"It wasn't really helping, I just—"
Jiang Ranxing didn't explain it very clearly.
But why?
Is it because she doesn't want all the effort and sacrifices she's made to go to waste, or because she doesn't want to see Fu Shenyuan fall from grace and become pathetic, or simply because she's soft-hearted and can't stand unfair things happening?
For a moment, she found it hard to sort things out. Perhaps she had all these thoughts, but thinking about them was too complicated, and she didn't want them to affect her mood.
"Tell me what to do, and I'll do my best."
After realizing that Jiang Ranxing was serious, Tan Shen, who was usually very serious at work, smiled for once.
"Thank you for making the decision, madam. You don't need to do too much. I will accompany you. Just your presence is more effective than anything else."
Jiang Ranxing nodded in tacit agreement.
When I returned to the hospital bedside, Fu Yuqin had just closed the door and come out.
"Sister-in-law, you're back! My brother has woken up and keeps asking to see you!"
Fu Yuqin seemed very happy. Jiang Ranxing guessed that Fu Shenyuan was probably alright. Since he could make a scene and see people, there was nothing to worry about.
Jiang Ranxing approached, but did not push the door open. Instead, he looked inside through the glass and met a pair of burning eyes.
Fu Shenyuan sat leaning against the hospital bed, his face still pale and he looked weak, but his eyes were still bright, staring intently at her as if they could speak.
"Sister-in-law, aren't you going in to see my brother?" Fu Yuqin asked tentatively.
Jiang Ranxing shook his head: "No, now that he's awake, I should go too."
"But my brother—"
Before Fu Yuqin could finish speaking, Jiang Ranxing had already turned around, as if he didn't want to have any contact with them.
However, before he had gone far, Jiang Ranxing heard a heavy thud from inside the ward, followed by the sound of something falling.
She suddenly turned her head and saw Fu Yuqin rushing into the ward, saying as she went, "Brother! Don't move around, don't worry! Sister-in-law hasn't left!"
