Chapter 29 Not an Accident【VIP】
Fu Shengyan was speechless: "Dad, don't you just want to not care about the company's affairs and travel around the world with Mom?"
Fu Jinnian was silent for a moment, then said, "I didn't say I'd leave the company alone. I just wanted you to come and learn first. I can only hand over Fu Group to you after I retire."
Fu Shengyan retorted sternly, "Fifty is the age to make breakthroughs. You're still strong and healthy, so you can easily work for another ten years!"
"You little brat! I'm not even fifty years old!" Fu Jinnian raised his brows. His son, who had finally become more calm, had returned to his annoying age, making him feel itchy.
"Almost. Rounding it up means she's fifty," Fu Shengyan muttered. Feeling his father's cold gaze, he immediately changed the subject, saying tactfully, "Then you should work for a few more years. Don't think about retirement. Zhizhi is already exhausted running a company."
Fu Jinnian sneered: "According to what you said, I still have to work for another ten years? Then what's the point of having a son like you!"
He has no idea how to share the responsibility with his old father!
Fu Shengyan said confidently, "I only regret that I'm not a business genius. Otherwise, I would definitely inherit your legacy, take the Fu family to a higher level, and control the lifeline of the global economy."
Fu Jinnian: “…”
Fu Jinnian now disliked everything about his son, but he was too embarrassed to give him a kick in public. He could only patiently say, "I didn't ask you to become a big shot who could shake the entire business world with a stomp of your foot. After all, you are still a descendant of my Fu family. How can you be so self-deprecating?"
"Dad..." Fu Shengyan was deeply moved. It was rare for him to hear words of encouragement from Fu Jinnian in his entire life. He said righteously, "Don't worry. I will definitely pass on our family's superior genes and give you another heir to the Fu family."
Fu Jinnian: “…Heh.”
He knew that his son was a dog that could not produce ivory.
Lin Zhihua, who was walking in front with Shen Weiwei, also covered her lips. She coughed lightly, suppressed her laughter and said, "Mom and Dad, the car is parked in front. I'll take you back first."
In the car, Fu Jinnian scolded his son for letting his wife drive, but was silenced by Fu Shengyan's words.
He said coldly, "I dare to drive, do you dare to sit?"
After returning to the Fu family villa, the few of them rested for a while, and then Fu Jinnian called Lin Zhihua to the study.
"Dad, what do you want to talk to me about?" Lin Zhihua closed the study door and asked straight to the point.
Fu Jinnian had been in a high position for a long time and didn't like beating around the bush. He went straight to the point, his hands crossed in front of him, "Two things. Didn't you tell me half a month ago that you wanted to enter the holographic field?"
Lin Zhihua nodded. Although the Fu Group had originally been involved in foreign trade, it had also ventured into high-tech industries in recent years. She had asked Fu Jinnian for advice, indeed intending to ask him to help her assess the project's prospects.
"This technology has been developed abroad for many years, but has always been stuck at a technical bottleneck. If you can be the first to achieve a breakthrough, you will be setting a precedent, not only filling a domestic gap, but also breaking the foreign blockade against us. This is a technology that benefits the country and the people."
Fu Jinnian looked at her deeply, his eyes flashing with admiration. He pushed a piece of A4 paper on the table over to her and said, "It just so happens that I found a talent for you in Country A."
Lin Zhihua took a closer look and saw that it was a brilliant resume. The woman on it had a capable look and her beautiful face exuded natural confidence.
"The Jian family and we are old friends, and we know each other well. She is the granddaughter of the Jian family's eldest uncle. When she was studying in Country A, her mentor happened to be a big name in the field of virtual technology, and she has made considerable achievements in this field." Fu Jinnian tapped the table lightly with his fingers.
Lin Zhihua immediately understood that Fu Jinnian was telling her that this person not only had a strong background but also had extensive connections, and would not be easily bribed by Country A.
"She is planning to return to China soon. If you think it's okay, you can directly invite her to participate in this project. I believe she can provide significant progress in your research." Fu Jinnian said with a smile.
Lin Zhihua was delighted, "Thank you, Dad!"
"There's one more thing that brat definitely didn't mention to you. He took on a case last month." Fu Jinnian restrained his expression, his eyes sank slightly, revealing a hint of coldness.
"The medical malpractice case at Hengsheng Hospital may appear to be an ordinary doctor-patient dispute, but the underlying web of interests is intricate and complex. He touched too many people's hearts. I don't know which person in which position hired someone to deliberately cause this accident."
Lin Zhihua's face changed. She was still too young and only regarded this car accident as an accident.
Fu Jinnian is worthy of being the uncrowned king who has dominated the business world for many years. He took over Fu Group at the age of 20. The experience accumulated over the years has made him keenly aware of the interests and involvements involved, and he can smell clues from them.
Now that she thought about it, it was rush hour, the roads were jammed, and how could two cars be chasing each other on the overpass? She thought of the deformed private cars at the accident scene and felt a wave of fear.
Fu Shengyan was lucky this time and managed to escape with his life. The other party may have seen that he was no longer pursuing the case and thought that the warning was sufficient, so they did not take any further action.
"Dad, please check... Lin Zhihua pursed her lips tightly.
"This is part of the information. You have to find the rest yourself." Fu Jinnian handed over a file bag. Lin Zhihua opened it and saw that there were only a few thin pages of paper inside.
"The other party handled it relatively cleanly, so it's hard to investigate, but what has been done will always leave traces. Fu Jinnian lowered his eyes, not interested.
Lin nodded sternly, "I understand, Dad."
In the evening, after finishing the meal, Lin Zhihua chatted with Chen Weiwei for a while and then returned to her room.
After finally getting some time alone, before she could even start to ask for vengeance, Xuan Yan quickly hugged her.
"What did the old man say to you?" Fu Shengyan put his arms around Lin Zhihua's waist and buried his head in her neck.
Lin Zhihua paused noticeably, sneered, and the next second she grabbed his ear.
"You're so good, Fu Shengyan. You promised me not to take such dangerous cases, but what happened? You investigated secretly behind my back! You didn't tell me anything for so many days." Lin Zhihua bit her lower lip and said coldly.
In addition to being angry, she is now more scared.
The scene of Fu Shengyan lying on the hospital bed covered in wounds is still vivid in my mind. The profession of lawyer is very risky, especially for criminal defense lawyers. If you are not careful, you can get yourself into trouble.
Fu Shengyan was completely bewildered, not knowing why his wife had suddenly gotten so angry. He widened his eyes and begged for mercy at the top of his lungs, "Hiss. Aww, squeak, be gentle, it hurts."
Knowing that he didn't remember anything now, Lin Zhihua couldn't get angry at Lawyer Fu who looked innocent, so she could only be angry at herself.
"I was wrong, honey. I won't do it again." He showed a pitiful expression. Although he didn't know what happened, it was always right to apologize first.
He couldn't explain what he did wrong. Lin Zhihua snorted coldly, but despite thinking so in her heart, she still let go of his ear.
She looked up at Fu Shengyan, and her nose felt a little sore when she opened her mouth. Her voice sounded weak and muffled, "Fu Shengyan, let's not take such dangerous cases in the future, okay..."
Fu Shengyan opened his mouth, about to solemnly promise, but changed his tone as the words reached his lips: "Zhizhi, I can't promise you. If even we lawyers are afraid of retaliation and dare not try our best, then who can the vulnerable parties turn to for help?"
Fu Shengyan glanced at her expression and said loudly, "But I promise that I will discuss this with you before taking on any dangerous case like this in the future."
Lin Zhihua nodded reluctantly.
She looked up at Fu Shengyan, her tone tinged with joy, "We agreed that you are not allowed to hide anything from me in the future."
After coaxing his wife, Fu Shengyan was in high spirits. He nudged his furry head against her shoulder and said, "Squeak, my ears hurt."
Lin Zhihua laughed and looked down at his ear, which was indeed a faint pink.
"It doesn't hurt. I didn't use any force. There's not even a mark." Lin Zhihua reached out and covered his left ear.
Fu Shengyan pursed his lips and took advantage of Lin Zhihua's inattention to kiss her face.
"Then I'll seek comfort for myself."
Seeing his smug look, Lin Zhihua pinched his earlobe again and said, "Go take a shower quickly. You stink."
"How could that be?" Fu Shengyan sat up straight. He sniffed himself carefully and said seriously, "I smell really good, okay? Zhizhi, smell it carefully again."
"No, I don't want to smell it. I'm getting sick of the stupid smell on you." Lin Zhihua pinched her nose pretending to be disgusted, and fanned her face with her other hand.
He curled his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Fu Shengyan, you're such a spendthrift! Where did you take my Tongqing tea cakes and wine?"
Suddenly, Fu Jinnian's angry curses were heard outside the door. Fu Shengyan looked away feeling guilty and had no intention of chatting with Lin Zhihua anymore. He hurried into the bathroom with his clothes.
Lin Zhihua found it a little funny. She went out and explained a few things to Fu Jinnian, and promised to keep an eye out for other good wines and teas for him before coaxing him away.
Last time, Fu Shengyan was in a hurry to "meet the parents" and took away all of Fu Jinnian's collection of wine and tea, and later forgot to return them.
Just as Fu Jinnian was about to pour a glass of red wine to enjoy with his wife in the room, he discovered that his house had been burglarized.
Without much thought, with the experience of the previous incident, the suspect was quickly identified this time.
"The old man is gone?" Fu Shengyan pried open the door and a furry head popped out from the crack.
"Let's go." Lin Zhihua was a little helpless. She stretched out her hand and nodded at him from a distance. "You, stop always grabbing Dad. Don't we still have a few bottles of good wine in our wine cabinet?"
"How can that be the same?" Fu Shengyan frowned. "How can I spend your money on our first meeting?"
Lin Zhihua choked and waved her hand, urging, "Hurry up and take a shower and go to bed. Go to the law firm tomorrow morning."
Fu Shengyan obediently went to take a shower. Lin Zhihua looked at the computer in her hand with cold eyes.
She wanted to see what kind of information Fu Shengyan had found that made him be targeted.
She won't let any of these people go.
