Chapter 315 The He Family's Secret
“Mom, this is what I should do,” Huo Qibang said. “By the way, Mom, we received news from the Li family that they want to cooperate with us to develop commercial land in the new district.”
Fang Lanxin raised an eyebrow.
"Didn't the Li family previously team up with the He family against us?"
“Yes,” Huo Qibang said, “but now that the He family has fallen, the Li family is probably looking for a new backer.”
Fang Lanxin sneered.
"A fence-sitter."
"Mom, should we agree?"
Fang Lan thought about it for a moment.
"Let them wait and see," Fang Lanxin said. "When they get impatient, they'll naturally offer better terms."
"I see."
The two were talking when the secretary suddenly knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Fang, there's a lawyer named Zhang outside who wants to see you."
Fang Lanxin frowned.
“I don’t know any lawyer Zhang.”
He said he came on behalf of Lu Chen.
Fang Lanxin's face darkened.
"Let him in."
A few minutes later, a middle-aged man in a suit walked in.
"Ms. Fang, hello. I am Zhang Ming, Mr. Lu Chen's lawyer."
Fang Lanxin leaned back in her chair.
"Attorney Lu, Lu Chen is at the police station right now. What are you doing here?"
“That’s right,” Attorney Zhang said. “Mr. Lu asked me to tell Ms. Fang that he is willing to plead guilty, but on one condition.”
What conditions?
“He hopes Ms. Fang will drop the charges against him,” Attorney Zhang said. “In exchange, he will tell Ms. Fang a secret.”
Fang Lanxin sneered.
"What secret?"
"Regarding the secrets of the He family," Attorney Zhang said, "Mr. Lu said that the downfall of the He family was not accidental; someone was manipulating things behind the scenes. And that person is now keeping an eye on the Huo family."
Fang Lanxin's eyes changed.
"What did you say"
"Mr. Lu said that if Ms. Fang wanted to know who that person was, she should agree to his conditions."
Fang Lanxin stared at Attorney Zhang.
Why should I believe him?
“Ms. Fang may not believe it,” Attorney Zhang said, “but Mr. Lu said that person will soon take action against the Huo family. By then, it will be too late for Ms. Fang to regret it.”
After speaking, Attorney Zhang stood up.
"Ms. Fang, Mr. Lu will give you three days to consider. After three days, he will tell others about this secret."
After Attorney Zhang left, Kenneth Fok came over.
"Mom, do you believe what Lu Chen said?"
Fang Lanxin fell silent.
Although Lu Chen is a hateful person, what he says may not necessarily be false.
The downfall of the Ho family was indeed too smooth.
Although she was the one who reported it, the fact that the police investigated so quickly and accurately is indeed somewhat unusual.
"Qibang, go and investigate," Fang Lanxin said. "Check if there were any unusual circumstances before and after the He family's downfall."
"good."
Just after Huo Qibang left, Fang Lanxin's phone rang.
It was Guan Jingshen who called.
"Lanxin, Akun has found out something."
"What"
“Lu Chen does have someone behind him,” Guan Jingshen said. “And you know that person.”
Fang Lanxin's heart tightened.
"who"
"Old Master Chen of the Chen family."
Fang Lanxin was stunned.
Chen family
The Chen family is a long-established family in Hong Kong, and its strength is no less than that of the Huo family.
However, the Chen family has always kept a low profile and rarely gets into conflicts with other families.
Why would they suddenly target the Huo family?
"Jing Shen, are you sure?"
“Confirmed,” Guan Jingshen said. “Akun found out that Lu Chen has been working for the Chen family for the past few years. This time, dealing with you was also at the behest of Old Master Chen.”
Fang Lanxin gripped her phone tightly.
Why is the Chen family targeting me?
“I’m investigating too,” Guan Jingshen said. “Lanxin, you need to be extra careful these next few days. The Chen family is not to be trifled with.”
"I know."
After hanging up the phone, Fang Lanxin leaned back in her chair.
The Chen family.
She had little interaction with the Chen family in her previous life.
Why is the Chen family targeting her in this life?
Just then, the secretary knocked on the door and came in.
"Mr. Fang, someone is looking for you downstairs."
"who"
"They say they're from the Chen family."
Fang Lanxin's eyes turned cold.
"Let him come up."
A few minutes later, a young man walked in.
The man was around thirty years old, well-dressed, and handsome.
“Ms. Fang, I’ve heard so much about you.” The man extended his hand. “I am Chen Ziming from the Chen family.”
Fang Lanxin did not shake hands with him.
"Mr. Chen, something's wrong."
Chen Ziming withdrew his hand, not embarrassed at all.
"Ms. Fang, I'm here today to discuss a collaboration with you."
What kind of cooperation?
"The new district project," Chen Ziming said. "The Chen family wants to get involved."
Fang Lanxin sneered.
"Mr. Chen, the partner for the new district project has been decided."
“I know,” Chen Ziming said, “but Ms. Fang, having another partner is not a bad thing for the Huo family.”
"I don't need it."
Chen Ziming smiled.
"Ms. Fang, are you sure?"
"Sure."
Chen Ziming stood up.
"Alright. Ms. Fang, I hope you won't regret it."
After saying that, he turned and left.
Fang Lanxin stared at his back, her eyes icy.
The Chen family is threatening her.
But she wasn't afraid.
At 3 p.m., Fang Lanxin finished her meeting and prepared to return to her office.
As she walked to the elevator, someone suddenly bumped into her from behind.
Fang Lanxin staggered a few steps and almost fell.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," the man quickly apologized.
Fang Lanxin steadied herself and turned to look.
She was a middle-aged woman wearing a cleaner's uniform.
"It's alright," Fang Lanxin said.
The middle-aged woman lowered her head and left in a hurry.
Fang Lanxin didn't pay any attention and stepped into the elevator.
But as soon as she entered the elevator, she felt a little uncomfortable in her stomach.
It looked like it had been hit by something.
She frowned and pressed the floor button.
The elevator doors closed and it began to ascend.
But my stomach started to hurt more and more.
Fang Lanxin clutched her stomach, her face turning pale.
Something's not right.
Something is very wrong.
The elevator arrived at the floor and the doors opened.
Fang Lanxin had just stepped out when suddenly everything went black and she collapsed.
"Manager Fang!"
The secretary screamed.
Fang Lanxin lay on the ground, her consciousness growing increasingly blurred.
She felt a sharp pain in her stomach, as if it were being torn apart by something.
"Call an ambulance immediately!"
The secretary's voice rang in my ears.
Fang Lan wanted to speak, but when she opened her mouth, she couldn't say anything.
Her vision grew increasingly dark.
Finally, he completely lost consciousness.
Hospital.
When Fang Lanxin woke up, it was already evening.
She opened her eyes and saw a white ceiling.
The smell of disinfectant filled my nose.
She is in the hospital.
"Lanxin, you're awake."
Guan Jingshen's voice rang in my ears.
Fang Lanxin turned her head and saw Guan Jingshen sitting on the edge of the bed.
His eyes were red and his face was haggard.
"Jing Shen..." Fang Lanxin's voice was very weak, "What's wrong with me?"
Guan Jingshen grasped her hand.
"Lanxin, you fainted at the company."
Fang Lanxin remembered.
She was bumped by someone at the elevator entrance, and then her stomach started to hurt.
"My stomach..."
Guan Jingshen's expression changed.
"Lanxin, the doctor said..."
He couldn't continue.
Fang Lanxin's heart sank.
What did the doctor say?
Guan Jingshen closed his eyes.
"The doctor said your uterus suffered a severe impact."
Fang Lanxin's face turned deathly pale.
"What's the meaning"
“The doctor said…” Guan Jingshen’s voice choked up, “You might…you might not be able to have any more children.”
Fang Lanxin was stunned.
