Chapter 11: Late Return
Xu Muzhou lowered his head and suddenly fell silent.
Fu Yin's expression was full of confusion, and when he saw that he didn't respond, he suddenly became anxious.
Her white fingertips typed on the memo again: [Has anyone else been here?]
He couldn't help but clench his fists, a fierce look flashed across his eyes, and the fire in his heart was still burning.
He's just a heartless man, who made her so anxious.
When she woke up, she didn't ask about her own physical condition, but asked about that man.
"No."
Xu Muzhou's lips were tightly clenched, and after a long time he uttered two words indifferently.
The expectant look in Fu Yin's eyes fell, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this.
So Lin Xu left early last night?
She stood in the rain for so long, and he actually just left her there.
After all, he has no feelings for her anymore, so he doesn't care about her life or death at all.
Fu Yin opened his lips slightly, but didn't say anything in the end.
Her eyes felt slightly sore and a few tears couldn't help but slide down from the corners of her eyes. She slowly lay down and turned her back.
After a moment, Xu Muzhou noticed that her shoulders were shaking, but she forced herself not to make any sound, tears already soaking her eyes.
Xu Muzhou suddenly became angry, stood up, clenched his fists and walked out of the ward in a few quick steps.
Walking out, he punched the wall to vent his dissatisfaction.
Fu Yin was discharged from the hospital after only one day of rest. He was still a little unsteady when he returned to the hotel, but he wanted to collect evidence as soon as possible so that he could fight back.
It has been raining heavily in the nearby city for the past two days. The weather is as bad as her mood.
She curled up on the sofa, typing on the computer with her hands, searching for videos of previous related interviews online, hoping to find a breakthrough again.
Within half a day, the internet was full of news about her being suspended from the TV station. The news of the old man's sudden death from illness was maliciously edited and exposed online, causing dissatisfaction among many netizens, who began to search for the cause.
Netizens called for a boycott of low-quality journalists, and whenever they caught her personal account, they insulted her in the comment section.
Fu Yin was in no mood to pick up his phone because as soon as he opened it he saw those hurtful messages.
She rubbed her brows and happened to see a video while looking up information. It was a short film shot by Xushi Venture Capital a year ago.
She was stunned for a few seconds, and when she saw Lin Xu's face on the cover, she clicked on it for some unknown reason.
The short film mainly talks about the venture capital and financial management industries in recent years, and there is some related legal information at the end, which seems quite realistic.
At first, Lin Xu was attracted to it, and later she became interested in the content of the short film.
After reading to the end, she suddenly realized that many criminals nowadays are actually committing fraud by taking advantage of loopholes in risk analysis. Some elderly people don’t understand this and think that they can make a lot of money as long as the risk is low. In fact, they are falling into the trap step by step.
Fu Yin downloaded the short video and wanted to cut out the latter part to make a chain of evidence, but he hesitated when he was about to do so.
The video belongs to Precision Venture Capital. Cutting it off rashly would infringe upon the company's rights and interests, and if it is appealed in the future, it will inevitably lead to lawsuits.
She felt inexplicably irritated. She picked up her phone and opened the chat box with Lin Xu. She pressed the input button with her fingertips, but didn't type a single word for a long time.
She couldn't bring herself to go find Lin Xu again.
She has taken the initiative for him so many times, can't he just come to her?
Fu Yin was so angry that he pounded the sofa. He found Jiang Qian in his contacts and called her.
Fu Yin: "Qianqian, I want to ask you for a favor."
Jiang Qian was bewildered after receiving the call, and immediately became alert: "It's unbelievable that you would actually ask me for help. You always say you can solve it yourself, but you are so stubborn."
"Tell me, what's the matter?"
Fu Yin was silent for half a second before speaking: "Actually, I just want you to talk to Xu Nianbai. I want to use a video from Xushi as a chain of evidence."
"You have to go find Lin Xu." Jiang Qian responded lightly.
Fu Yin stopped talking again.
Jiang Qian laughed softly from the other end of the phone: "Did you have a fight with your brother?"
"I think you two just don't communicate well. Is there anything that can't be solved with just words?"
"Anyway, there's nothing much to talk about between him and me." Fu Yin groaned twice, still a little angry when he thought about what happened last night.
He has come to see her, why is he hiding from her and refusing to see her?
Isn't it just because he's afraid that she'll pester him?
Then don't provoke it in the first place.
She is the kind of person who must get what she wants.
In the past, when she was willful, he would play along with her.
He said that no matter what, he would be by her side.
But now, he is not willing to leave at any time, and he is not even willing to look back.
How cruel.
"Let me give you a heads up. Can you really solve the problems online? How about I be a keyboard warrior and help you rant back? I just happen to be itching to curse."
"I think Xu Nianbai has annoyed you again?" Fu Yin laughed, made a few jokes and hung up the phone.
Jiang Qian was very efficient. Just after she finished speaking, she received a text message a few minutes later saying that she had already told Xu Nianbai and was waiting for Lin Xu's reply.
Fu Yin continued to organize the chain of evidence until evening, when the rain outside the window stopped.
Raindrops fell on the windows and slid down, and the street lights on the city streets also lit up.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
Fu Yin sat cross-legged, pulled out his legs, put the computer on the table, stretched, and then slowly walked to the door to open it.
When I opened the door, I saw Xu Muzhou standing outside with a few bags of food. His hair was wet, probably because he had just been caught in the rain.
“You are…”
"Sister Fu Yin, I heard that eating delicious food can make you feel better when you are in a bad mood, so I bought you a lot of snacks."
"I didn't bring an umbrella, and it was pouring rain when I went out, so I still got soaked."
Xu Muzhou smiled foolishly and handed the two bags of snacks in his hand to Fu Yin, then waved the rain away from his head.
Fu Yin opened his lips slightly, put the snacks aside and let him into the room.
"Wipe it first." Fu Yin took a dry towel from the bathroom and gave it to Xu Muzhou.
Xu Muzhou took the towel, his ears slightly reddened, and he couldn't help but smile: "You look much better."
"I'm fine, you don't have to worry about me."
"By the way, I was just about to tell you that I found a new chain of evidence that I can use in subsequent interviews."
"The rain stopped tonight and the sun should be out tomorrow. I have another interview appointment at a senior center. This time I contacted the person in charge in advance."
Fu Yin sent tomorrow's schedule to Xu Muzhou and instructed him, "Talk to Xiaoman later and ask her to prepare tomorrow's editing."
"Don't you want to take another day off? There's no need to rush out to collect them."
Xu Muzhou looked at Fu Yin worriedly. The TV station had suspended her, and she was the only one who was so dedicated.
Fu Yin shook his head. It was a time like this that made him even more reluctant to slack off.
But she couldn't make a big fuss about it. Now that the TV station had suspended her, the person behind it should have known the news.
The man didn't want her to appear on TV, so she fulfilled his wish.
But her purpose in coming here was to uncover the truth, so she naturally couldn't neglect her work.
Xu Muzhou was unable to persuade Fu Yin, so he didn't waste any more words.
On the contrary, it is this kind of Fu Yin that he really likes.
Always have your own opinions and do what you like without any hesitation.
One day, she will surely shine in the industry she loves.
"I've just written the interview script. I'll send one to you and Xiaoman. If there's no problem, use this one. If you have any other comments, please let me know."
Fu Yin yawned, looking a little tired.
Seeing that Xu Muzhou had nothing else to do, Fu Yin closed his computer and started to chase him away.
"I want to rest now. You should also rest early so that you can have enough energy to go out for the foraging."
Xu Muzhou came out of the room and turned his head to look at Fu Yin reluctantly as he left.
Seeing Fu Yin was about to close the door, he subconsciously pressed it, and a blush appeared on his face.
"Sister Fu Yin...actually yesterday..." Xu Muzhou thought of Lin Xu's anxious look yesterday, and felt a little reluctant.
Fu Yin frowned, a little confused: "What happened yesterday?"
"Nothing, I just wanted to say that some things might not be as bad as you think."
After saying this, Xu Muzhou turned around and left in a hurry.
Fu Yin was confused and didn't understand what Xu Muzhou meant by that.
But she was too lazy to think about these words. After closing the door, she glanced at the two bags of snacks on the ground and smiled helplessly.
After washing up, Fu Yin rummaged through his bag, took out a bag of potato chips and turned on his computer again.
I searched for Xushi Venture Capital on the browser and started watching some past videos.
I have to say that Lin Xu is really amazing. In just three years since its establishment, Xushi has become one of the world's top 500 companies with branches in various countries. This year, the headquarters was moved back to Beijing in order to boost the domestic economy.
Fu Yin clicked on the videos one by one and saw a donation video at the end. It was from a foundation established by Xu Shi, and all the money was donated to a welfare home.
She put down the potato chips in her hand, and her heart sank when she saw the name of the welfare home.
It was the welfare home where she once stayed.
Her face was slightly stiff. She didn't expect that Lin Xu had done these things in private.
Although he is not very responsible in terms of emotions, he still has some conscience.
Fu Yin sneered in her heart. After watching all the videos, she realized how hard Lin Xu had worked over the years.
It is indeed not easy to build Xushi into such a large enterprise.
While she was lost in thought, her cell phone vibrated several times.
I looked at the caller ID and it was Xu Ning.
Fu Yin instantly lost his appetite, took out a tissue to wipe his hands, and pressed the answer button to turn on the hands-free mode.
"I told you your job isn't that great. Just look at how many people are scolding you online."
"I told you the risks were high a long time ago, but you didn't believe me. Now that a scandal like this has broken out, do you know how many people are pointing fingers at our Lin family and cursing them?"
"They say that our Lin family has such an adopted daughter, and it's a disgrace to our family! Your brother is getting married soon. What will the Wen family say about us if you let them see this?"
"Do we want others to poke us in the back and scold us?"
Xu Ning spoke a lot on the phone without even waiting for Fu Yin to say a word.
Every sentence was a nonsensical accusation, and Fu Yin wanted to laugh.
"Haven't you already stopped considering me your daughter? Why do you care so much about a scandal involving an outsider?"
"Don't think I don't know. Your brother went to Lin City to look for you. He didn't even come to the Wen family's party today."
"Lin Yin, have you forgotten your last name?"
"Have some shame? Why are you still seducing him like you did when you were little?"
The author has something to say:
[Rabbit head with upright ears] I am here, babies, thank you, babies, take it and love you
Small Theater:
Xu Muzhou: Actually I don’t want to call you sister
Lin Xu: Can Xu Nianbai take your brother away?
