Then he regained his composure and said calmly, "Well, I checked it out, nothing special."
Xu Zhiru pretended to be curious and asked, "Nothing special? Then why is Ah Chen so concerned about him?"
Fu Chen smiled disapprovingly, his tone tinged with contempt. "Following him? I was just checking. After all, he's so close to Ning Nanxue. I'm afraid Ning Nanxue has been deceived again."
Fu Chen's tone carried a hint of condescension, as if he still cared about Ning Nanxue.
Xu Zhiru smiled inwardly, but pretended to be worried on the surface and said, "Ah Chen, you are just too kind. Ning Nanxue treated you like that, and you still care about her."
Fu Chen sighed helplessly. "Zhiru, you don't know that Ning Nanxue may look smart, but she's actually very simple-minded and can be easily exploited."
"That was the case with Manager Song last time, and I think it's similar with Jiang Tingchen this time."
Fu Chen's tone was firm, as if he had seen through everything.
Xu Zhiru was secretly delighted, knowing that Fu Chen had been completely deceived by her and the detective's "report".
She continued to exaggerate. "Ah Chen, you're right. I also think Jiang Tingchen is unreliable. Look at him. He's so young, and apart from his good looks, he doesn't seem to have any real skills."
"Think about it, if Jiang Tingchen really had some powerful background, why would he have been hiding his identity? It must be because he has no real ability and just wants to pretend." Xu Zhiru said in an affirmative tone, trying to dispel Fu Chen's doubts.
As Fu Chen listened to Xu Zhiru's words, his brows gradually relaxed, as if he was convinced by her.
He put down the report, a disdainful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he said in a contemptuous tone: "It seems that this Jiang Tingchen is really a idiot."
"I thought Ning Nanxue had found some powerful backer, but unexpectedly, it was just an embroidered pillow." Fu Chen's tone was full of contempt, and the slight doubt he had about Jiang Tingchen before also disappeared.
Xu Zhiru was very proud to see that Fu Chen finally believed what she said, and a bright smile appeared on her face.
"I told you, Achen, you are so outstanding, how could Ning Nanxue find someone better than you?" Xu Zhiru said with a sweet smile, a hint of coquettishness in her tone.
Fu Chen was in a good mood after being coaxed by Xu Zhiru. He reached out and took her into his arms, saying in a doting tone: "You still understand me the best."
Fu Chen picked up the phone again and called Ning Nanxue.
The call was connected quickly, and Ning Nanxue's voice was still cold and clear, without any emotion.
"Mr. Fu, what's the matter again?" Ning Nanxue's tone was a little impatient, as if she was annoyed by Fu Chen's call.
Fu Chen didn't care about Ning Nanxue's attitude. Instead, he felt that she was pretending to be nice to hide her inner panic.
He said arrogantly, "Ning Nanxue, I asked you out today because I wanted to talk to you about the future of the Ning Group."
Ning Nanxue's tone was filled with doubt, as if she didn't understand what Fu Chen meant. "The future of the Ning Group? What does Mr. Fu want to discuss?"
Fu Chen's lips curled up into a smug smile, and he said in a condescending tone, "I know that your Ning Group's capital chain has been very tight recently, and you've encountered difficulties in operations."
"Since we've known each other before, I can give your Ning Group a chance." Fu Chen paused and said in a condescending tone, "I can consider acquiring your Ning Group."
On the other end of the phone, Ning Nanxue was silent for a moment, as if shocked by Fu Chen's words.
Fu Chen was even more proud. He thought Ning Nanxue had been frightened by the "acquisition" plan he proposed.
"Acquisition?" Ning Nanxue's voice finally sounded again, with a hint of disbelief in her tone, as if she couldn't accept this fact.
Fu Chen was even more convinced that Ning Nanxue was desperate, and said in an even more arrogant tone: "That's right, it's an acquisition."
"I know your Ning Group is in a very bad situation now. Instead of struggling to hold on, you might as well accept my 'good intention' and sell the company to me. At least you can get some money in return, so you won't lose everything." Fu Chen's tone was full of charity and favor, as if his acquisition of the Ning Group was a great gift to Ning Nanxue.
Fu Chen's lips curled up into a triumphant smile, and he said in a firm tone: "Of course, I, Fu Chen, always keep my word."
"However, the conditions for the acquisition..." Fu Chen deliberately dragged out his voice, his tone full of hints.
Ning Nanxue seemed to understand what Fu Chen meant, and her tone was filled with a hint of struggle and pain. "Mr. Fu, what do you want?"
Fu Chen knew that Ning Nanxue had begun to waver, so he wanted to strike while the iron was hot and completely break down her psychological defenses.
He slowed down his tone, pretending to be affectionate, and said, "Nanxue, I know you still blame me in your heart, blaming me for not cherishing you back then."
"But I have regretted it, I really regret it." Fu Chen's voice became low and magnetic, like a prodigal son who was truly repenting.
"Nanxue, give me a chance, let's start over and go back to the way we were before, okay?" Fu Chen's tone was full of desire and expectation, as if he really couldn't forget his old love for Ning Nanxue.
Ning Nanxue did not answer immediately. There was a slight sobbing sound coming from the other end of the phone, as if she was crying silently.
Fu Chen was very proud. He thought Ning Nanxue was moved by his "affectionate confession" and began to recall the good times they had.
"Nanxue, I know you still have me in your heart, right?" Fu Chen continued to speak gently, his tone full of coaxing.
"As long as you are willing to come back to me, I can pretend that nothing happened, and we can still be as loving as before. I will cherish you and protect you even more than before, and I will never let you suffer any injustice again."
He must have said these words to more than just himself.
Ning Nanxue sneered and asked immediately, "Really? What if I asked you to kick Xu Zhiru out of the house?"
"I can't stand sharing things with others, and I can't stand others taking over my own things."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Chen couldn't help but frown slightly.
Ning Nanxue's request was really too radical. Although they didn't know that Xu Zhiru had just committed suicide, if they drove her away from them at this time, what if she threatened their lives again, how would they get away?
"Xue'er, as long as you are willing to agree to me, I will naturally find a way to deal with the current situation. However, you have to let me see your sincerity first." Fu Chen was quite clever and threw the bag back.
Ning Nanxue's expression became even colder. She knew that he would not do anything to Xu Zhiru so easily. He only loved himself.
