Fu Hao had mistaken him for someone else, addressing him as "brother" from the start, and even taking him to various high-class clubs daily to try and please him.
However, Yuan Bin had never actually stated that he was the CEO of Xin Ke International.
Seeing that the time was right, Fu Yan Ting called the police, and they took both Fu Hao and Yuan Bin away.
Yuan Bin was still in a daze when Fu Hao loudly cursed, "What the hell do you think you are? I am the CEO of Fu Corporation. How dare you lay hands on me? How dare you arrest me?"
"We received a tip-off from the CEO of Fu Corporation, Fu Yan Ting, which is why we are here to arrest you. I suggest you at least have some credibility when you lie."
Fu Hao's face changed drastically upon hearing the police officer's words. In front of everyone, this officer showed him no respect, embarrassing him. Looking at the other officers who were clearly stifling laughter, Fu Hao felt his pride was wounded. He retorted unwillingly, "In another month, when my project reaches its climax, Fu Yan Ting will be ousted, and I will be the new CEO. If you don't want me to make things difficult for you, I advise you to be wise."
"Then I truly must thank CEO Fu. However, you still need to come with us for now."
What he said was too perfunctory. Even Fu Hao himself felt incredibly awkward hearing it.
But Fu Hao could do nothing about this police officer.
In the end, he had no choice but to reluctantly leave with the officer.
All the way, Fu Hao's expression was as ugly as it could get.
Yuan Bin did not escape this fate either. For the past two months, Fu Hao had not only treated Yuan Bin to the best of everything but had also given him gifts. Yuan Bin's brother-in-law was the mayor and was about to be promoted. At this critical juncture, any mistakes were unacceptable, so Yuan Bin's face turned ashen pale upon seeing the police.
He was terrified.
Yuan Bin glared at Fu Hao resentfully and couldn't help but curse, "You bastard, I have no enmity with you. Why are you doing this to me?"
"Damn it, if you hadn't lied to me, how could I have treated you like this? How would I have known you were a fake CEO?"
This statement completely silenced Yuan Bin. He had to admit that in the past few months, he had been indulging with Fu Hao, reliving the kind of life he had before his divorce from Ye Lan Xin.
It was quite nostalgic. However, despite his nostalgia, he could not let himself be manipulated.
Fu Hao and Yuan Bin were taken to the police station. Yuan Bin dared not tell his family about such a major incident and had no choice but to call Ye Lan Xin.
Ye Lan Xin's lips curled slightly upon seeing the call. At that moment, she was at a club, discussing the project with Fu Yan Ting.
Ye Lan Xin did not rush to answer the phone. She put her phone aside, letting it ring, and looked at Fu Yan Ting. After a moment of silence, she said, "Yan Ting, I really have to thank you for your help with this matter. Let me treat you to a meal."
"There's no need for a meal. My wife is waiting for me at home with dinner."
Ye Lan Xin was taken aback.
Why hadn't she met such a good man as Fu Yan Ting before?
His looks were top-notch, his intelligence was online, and his emotional intelligence was also online.
He didn't sweet-talk women outside or play with their feelings. If Ye Lan Xin had met Fu Yan Ting years earlier, she wouldn't have had that failed marriage.
Ye Lan Xin said softly, "Alright then, let's wish our cooperation success."
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lan Xin extended her hand, preparing to shake Fu Yan Ting's hand.
Fu Yan Ting remained silent for a moment. Ye Lan Xin smiled and broke the tension, "What's wrong? This is basic etiquette. Are you afraid your wife will misunderstand our relationship and get jealous?"
Fu Yan Ting replied, "Not at all."
With that, he also extended his hand to shake Ye Lan Xin's. After a brief handshake, Fu Yan Ting immediately withdrew his hand.
After Fu Yan Ting left, Ye Lan Xin slowly answered the phone.
Yuan Bin, in his urgency, spoke with a rather harsh tone. He questioned, "Where are you? Why did you take so long to answer my call?"
"Is something the matter? Ex-husband dear."
Ye Lan Xin was not angry and deliberately called him "ex-husband dear."
Yuan Bin suddenly realized that his tone had been a bit too heavy just now.
Yuan Bin quickly explained, "Xin Xin, I was worried about you, that's why my tone was a bit harsh. You not answering the phone made me worry something had happened."
"Don't worry, even if something happens to me, someone will inherit my assets. It has nothing to do with you."
"Xin Xin, do we have to speak to each other with such sharp words?"
"Get to the point. What do you need from me? I'm very busy."
Ye Lan Xin actually knew perfectly well why Yuan Bin was calling her, but she still asked knowingly.
As expected, upon hearing Ye Lan Xin's question, Yuan Bin recounted the entire situation to her.
After finishing, Yuan Bin did not forget to add, "I was set up."
Ye Lan Xin sneered, "Dogs never defecate without reason."
With that, she hung up the phone.
Yuan Bin's expression became even uglier than before.
On the other side, Fu Hao's situation was not much better.
Two months ago, he had boasted loudly to Li Qin and Fu Wen Hai that he had to secure this project. Now, if he called them, they would surely say that Fu Hao was incompetent and only good at ruining things.
If this news reached the ears of the company directors, they would also think that Fu Hao's abilities were inferior to Fu Yan Ting's and would compare them.
What Fu Hao least wanted was to be compared to Fu Yan Ting.
Therefore, Fu Hao's face turned extremely grim.
But these police officers didn't care. Fu Hao had very little say in the Fu family.
Why should they take Fu Hao seriously?
Moreover, the one who reported Fu Hao was Fu Yan Ting, so they had even less to fear.
Fu Hao knew very well that it was Fu Yan Ting who had reported him, but he dared not contact his family. He could only contact Fu Yan Ting.
At this moment, Fu Yan Ting was sitting in his car, parked by the roadside near the police station.
Seeing Fu Hao's call, Fu Yan Ting seemed to have expected it, yet also not.
Fu Yan Ting answered, his tone indifferent and devoid of any emotion, and asked, "Is something the matter?"
"Big brother, where are you? Can you come to the police station?"
Hearing Fu Hao's voice, he sounded genuinely anxious, his voice changing.
Fu Yan Ting took a cigarette from his pack, sniffed its tip, and then put it back into the pack. Raising an eyebrow, he asked, "It's late at night. Why would I go to the police station for no reason? Am I that bored?"
Fu Hao knew Fu Yan Ting was doing this deliberately.
It was Fu Yan Ting who had reported him by his real name.
And now, Fu Yan Ting was pretending to be ignorant.
But Fu Hao had something to ask of him, so he didn't dare to be too direct.
