Chapter 62: Cutting off the tail to survive
Assistant Lin arrived late, carrying documents. He trotted behind Fu Chengyun and followed him to look in the direction the car left.
Fu Chengyun's voice froze, "How is it?"
"It's all done. We've already smoothed things over at the police station. Madam can visit when she returns, and she'll have priority in improving the environment."
She paused, glanced at Fu Chengyun's face, and said with a guilty conscience, "But I promised them without permission that you would donate a library here."
"Yeah." Fu Chengyun had no expression.
A library would be worth it if his baby could lie comfortably for a few days. However, now he probably couldn't even afford a library, let alone a library room, but these were all unspeakable.
Assistant Lin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw his expressionless face. He then took out another document and held it before Fu Chengyun for his review. "This is the share purchase agreement."
"Well, let's go." Fu Chengyun took the agreement with a deep look in his eyes.
At that time, the old man made Ning Che sign a prenuptial agreement, and now he wants to get it back for his baby!
Assistant Lin called the Fu family mansion to confirm the time, and the two drove there.
The car passed through the bustling downtown area, and the neon signs on both sides of the road cast tiny spots of light on Fu Chengyun's profile through the car window.
Every time he went to the Fu family mansion, Fu Chengyun would always light a cigarette on the way, and the curling smoke could not hide his bored expression.
Assistant Lin took a peek from the front seat. Mr. Fu was still sitting quietly with his head down, but his attitude was different from usual.
He lowered his head slightly, staring blankly at the red bloodstain on his trouser leg. The flickering light added a softness to his profile. His expression was calm, the corners of his mouth curved upwards slightly, and his eyes were filled with warmth.
Assistant Lin was puzzled: Could it be that the boss has been away from his wife for too long and has become stupid due to the stimulation...
The car quickly drove into the Fu family mansion, and Fu Chengyun and Assistant Lin walked into the main hall one after another.
Fu Chen sat upright on the sofa, and behind the sofa, Lawyer Li stood respectfully with his hands hanging in front of him.
Obviously, he had been waiting for a long time.
Fu Chengyun walked to the coffee table and respectfully called out "Dad".
Fu Chen looked at his disheveled clothes, his shirt and trouser legs covered in rust. He scolded him coldly, "You've messed yourself up like this for an omega!"
He hated people who acted on emotion the most. He had chosen Fu Chengyun among his many sons. Firstly, he was truly capable, and secondly, he was cold-blooded enough. This way, he had no weaknesses and wouldn't be held back by anything.
He frowned and looked at Fu Chengyun's miserable appearance, and an idea came to his mind.
"Go change your clothes and come back to see me." Fu Chen closed his eyes in disgust.
Fu Chengyun naturally understood the contempt in his eyes and smiled self-deprecatingly. He walked over to the sofa and sat down, looking very depressed with his eyes downcast. "This is his blood. I don't want to exchange it."
This was his second time rebelling against Fu Chen.
For Ning Che, and also for himself.
He knew that Fu Chen hated love, and hated the sour smell of being dominated by love even more. But he didn't just want to disgust Fu Chen, he also took the opportunity to speak his mind.
As long as the blood is there, the scent of the little fox is there. The scent of roses mixed with the dried blood, sweet yet strong.
This time, he was no longer alone.
Fu Chengyun raised his head and looked at Fu Chen, his eyes not avoiding at all and without any hypocrisy.
The heartache is righteous, and the affectation is open and aboveboard.
"Dad, I like him."
"What kind of future can you achieve if you're always in love?" Fu Chen's face was gloomy, trying to give him one last chance. "Look at how much trouble he's caused you, and now he's offended the government. He's ruined the entire group."
He changed the subject, his tone softening, like a father's instruction. "Listen to Dad. Put all the blame on him and hand him over to take the blame. This will give the government an explanation, save the company, and clear your name."
"He's been punished for multiple crimes anyway, so this one won't make a difference."
Fu Chengyun stared at Fu Chen, his heart icy. He had expected the old man to choose to sacrifice Ning Che and save him.
On the surface, this was a desperate move by the father to protect his son, but in reality, it was a two-pronged approach to get Fu Chengyun back on track. This fatherly love did not move Fu Chengyun, but instead made him sick.
"No, I can't bear to leave him." He said it firmly without hesitation.
He rebelled against Fu Chen three times in one day, more times than he had ever rebelled in his entire life. This also confirmed his emotional nature.
Fu Chengyun spread the documents flat on the table in front of Fu Chen, his eyes a little red.
"Don't worry, I won't drag down the company. I came here today to resolve this matter."
Fu Chen looked at him in confusion without saying anything. He couldn't think of any other way to avoid dragging down the company except giving up Ning Che.
Fu Chengyun straightened his shirt and sat up straight. He spoke slowly, "I'll buy out your shares and become the sole shareholder. I'll personally assume all responsibility for any problems. This way, the company, the board, and you will all be safe."
These words hit Fu Chen's heart like a heavy punch.
He never thought that Fu Chengyun's so-called solution to the problem was to give up himself for an inexplicable omega!
"Are you, are you crazy?!"
Fu Chen was shaking with anger. The strength he had carefully cultivated for many years was about to be destroyed. He picked up the contract in front of him and threw it in Fu Chengyun's face.
The white paper fell to the ground like snowflakes, revealing a resolute face.
Fu Chengyun added fuel to the fire. "Lin Yu has performed well. You can help him get promoted."
Fu Chen's heart ached. He couldn't understand why someone would go to such lengths to destroy their future over an Omega. His eldest son was always so hypocritical and slippery that he couldn't even believe him.
His eyes were sharp, filled with scrutiny and condemnation. He stared at Fu Chengyun for a long time without answering.
He wanted to see through that righteous face and see the other escape routes in his heart. Even if he told him it was just a temporary solution, he would be more receptive.
Fu Chengyun's jaw was set in a sharp line, his eyes dark. Fu Chen didn't see any calculation or scheme, but was instead blinded by his persistence and decisiveness.
"Lawyer Li, pick up the contract and verify it."
After saying this, he tacitly agreed to Fu Chengyun's decision.
The living room was quiet, yet oppressive. The soft rustling of pages and the sound of shallow breathing stirred every nerve in Fu Chen.
His brows were furrowed together, and he pressed his temples with his knuckles.
The idea that just appeared for a moment has completely taken the upper hand, and it is probably time to give up on this excellent work.
All emotionality is a sign of weakness and incompetence to him.
Fu Chen sighed, leaned back on the sofa and closed his eyes.
He sentenced Fu Chengyun to death in his heart and was unwilling to even give him a glance.
Fu Chengyun lowered his head and stared at his trouser legs in a daze.
From the perspective of others, his slightly bent back was filled with dejection. He was like a defeated beast, with no choice but to cut off its tail to survive.
Lawyer Li quickly checked the contract and whispered in Fu Chen's ear, "Chairman, no problem. You can sign it."
After Fu Chen picked up the pen and signed, he threw it in Fu Chengyun's face again.
If the first throw was a rebuke of disappointment, this time it was a complete disdain for the abandoned child.
Fu Chen would not waste time talking to a piece of trash. He stood up with the help of Lawyer Li and went upstairs.
He walked very fast, faster than he usually did.
The rosewood walking stick stomped loudly on the wooden floor, and Fu Chengyun saw a frosty coldness in his slightly hunched back.
The more numb and cold the old man was, the more excited he became.
But there were pinhole cameras everywhere in the living room, and he didn't dare to laugh.
Only when he bent down to pick up the contracts scattered on the ground, the corners of his mouth curled up uncontrollably into an imperceptible smile.
