Chi's father's pupils dilated in shock, and he staggered, seemingly not expecting that his son would have such a thought.
Chu Lin's eyes were unfathomable, and his whole being exuded a dark aura.
The onlookers, however, were somewhat dismayed, saying, "Why compare yourself to President Fu of all people? Isn't that overestimating your own abilities?"
"In the end, it's because the parents put too much pressure on their children. I even feel a little sorry for this young master Chi."
"I would never let my son compare himself to President Fu. I have a good sense of self-awareness."
"However, it is wrong to frame innocent people just because of jealousy."
Ultimately, Chi Rui and the waitress were both taken away by the police.
Yi Tianran knew that things were not that simple at all.
Her gaze then fell on the silent Chu Lin, and she said in a cold tone, "Mr. Chu, weren't you just accusing me of being ruthless and making such a confident accusation against me?"
Chu Lin said very sincerely, "I'm sorry, Miss. I was just careless and was fooled by the waitress's acting skills. It proves that you have to see for yourself and not easily listen to other people's judgments. This was my mistake, and I apologize to you."
Yi Tianran said ambiguously, "Really? I thought you just didn't like me and wanted to convict me!"
Chu Linfeng replied with an elegant air, "How could that be? I would feel sorry for such a beautiful young lady being wronged."
“I thought…” Yi Tianran stepped forward and whispered, “You were also jealous of Fu Yunchen, so you didn’t want to see him have an easy time!”
Chu Lin's smile froze, his eyes darkening.
Could it be that this woman even knows about the feud between him and Fu Yunchen?
impossible!
Fu Yunchen never bothered to mention that matter to anyone, and probably not even his closest relatives knew about it.
But now, he's told a woman? Could it be that he's truly been blinded by beauty?
Thinking of this, Chu Lin unconsciously clenched his fist. "President Fu and I are very good competitors."
Yi Tianran smiled and said, "That's a pity. It seems that my CEO Fu has never paid any attention to you!"
In an instant, the smile on Chu Lin's face vanished completely. He stared at her with a sinister gaze and said in a strange tone, "I will make him unable to forget, even if he wants to."
There was a chilling undertone in his words, as if he were plotting something terrible.
For a moment, Yi Tianran seemed to smell a bloody odor on him.
It was the aura of someone who had killed.
She unconsciously frowned and took a few steps back.
Just then, a large, warm hand wrapped around her waist from behind.
Fu Yunchen pulled her into his arms, his gaze piercingly cold as he looked at Chu Lin.
A strong sense of tension flared in their eyes, and their intense aura was terrifying to onlookers.
Just as they were about to feel suffocated by the pressure, Yi Tianran smiled and hugged Fu Yunchen's waist, looking up at him, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, I think I caused you trouble again just now."
"It doesn't matter how much trouble you cause." Fu Yunchen's gaze was full of doting and indulgence. "I'll clean up the mess."
Yi Tianran felt a surge of sweetness in her heart and couldn't help but lean against his shoulder, whispering, "Have you taken care of your business?"
"Um."
Her tone was so soft it sounded like she was pleading: "Then let's go home."
Fu Yunchen: "Okay."
The two left the venue hand in hand.
Even from such a distance, Yi Tianran felt like she was being pricked by thorns.
It wasn't until I got into the car that the gloomy view completely disappeared.
"I think Chu Lin is holding a grudge against me," Yi Tianran sighed.
Fu Yunchen held her waist tightly, refusing to let go, his voice deep and powerful, "I'll stay by your side from now on, I'll protect you."
Yi Tianran suspected that he was abusing his power for personal gain, but she had no evidence.
"What happened today..." She briefly recounted what had just happened, and finally stated firmly, "This must have been Chu Lin stirring things up behind the scenes. He is a person with a strong sense of hatred and revenge."
He showed no mercy even to a woman who had just met him and said a few words to him.
However, he is also very capable.
They easily bribed Chi Rui, and even at the last moment, he didn't confess to his crimes.
Either he really had nothing to do with this matter, or he had caught Chi Rui red-handed.
Her guess was quickly confirmed.
A few days later, Lofele announced a cooperation with the Chi Group. Yi Tianran asked the three little ones to help investigate and found out that the Chi Group had been on the verge of bankruptcy because its partner had betrayed the contract and stolen company secrets.
With the addition of Lofele, the Chi family received a strong financial injection that salvaged the situation.
Perhaps this is why Chi Rui helped him?
Meanwhile, several once-prosperous companies have been attacked one after another in the past few days, leaving their CEOs overwhelmed and on the verge of declaring bankruptcy.
This happened so coincidentally, it's as if it was premeditated.
So Yi Tianran seized the opportunity, disguised himself as an investor and approached them. He heard them complaining, "I just received a huge order two days ago, and things were going well. But I didn't expect the other party to be a fraudster who stole my money and fled abroad. Now it's too late."
"My vice president actually had an affair with the wife of a big investor. Now, in a fit of anger, he wants to terminate our contract and put pressure on our company. It's all over! It's too late. It's all that idiot's fault."
“My company was raided by investigators who said we were suspected of selling inferior goods as superior ones, and now we’re almost shut down! But how could that be? Our products are all custom-made by the best manufacturers!”
The bosses were so anxious they were practically bald from all the styling.
Yi Tianran immediately sensed something was wrong and asked cryptically, "Have you guys offended anyone recently?"
The bosses were taken aback by what they heard, and were somewhat bewildered. "Huh?"
Yi Tianran calmly analyzed, "Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence that everything happened at the same time? Think carefully about whether you have offended anyone, even if it was just a small matter. Don't let it go."
Upon hearing this, the bosses began to recall, "No! I haven't been going out to meet with people much lately."
"At the bidding meeting a few days ago, a few of us got together..."
"Wait! I remember now, we talked about Chu Lin a bit back then, thinking he was overestimating himself and that competing with President Fu wouldn't end well."
"He wouldn't go and bankrupt us all over just because of a few idle words, would he? He wouldn't hold a grudge like that!"
Yi Tianran, however, suddenly understood.
Isn't that right?
If Chu Lin weren't so vengeful, how could he hold a grudge against Fu Yunchen for something he did when he was a child?
