It would be easy to get through their company's difficult times if they could cooperate with the Fu Group.
However, she didn't expect Fu Yan Ting to offer them a major project right off the bat. The Shallow Water Bay project was not something that could be secured with just money and power. In Yan City, only Fu Yan Ting had the capability to undertake such a project. Yet, now, Fu Yan Ting was letting the Zhang family take it on. It should be known that with this project, their family's company difficulties could be easily resolved.
Mrs. Zhang repeatedly said thank you, so excited she almost knelt to express her gratitude.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yan Ting wasn't as happy as he expected. Although Fu Wen Hai and Fu Yan Ting were related, over the years, they had never had the closeness of family. Even at holiday gatherings, the two of them would confront each other with arrogant defiance.
Overthrowing Fu Wen Hai was something Fu Yan Ting had always wanted to do. But when Fu Wen Hai was truly defeated by Fu Yan Ting, Fu Yan Ting felt no retaliatory joy. Instead, he was filled with worry. Fu Yan Ting knew very well that he didn't truly want to crush Fu Wen Hai, but rather Fu Wen Hai had repeatedly gone too far. If Fu Yan Ting hadn't acted, he would have been the one to get hurt.
From Fu Wen Hai's statement, the police learned that Fu Wen Hai was not solely responsible for the incident; there was another person involved, Lin Yi Cheng. So, the police went to Lin Yi Cheng's hideout, but to their surprise, Lin Yi Cheng wasn't there. The police couldn't help but frown. Lin Yi Cheng had a criminal record, and they wondered if he had gotten wind of the situation and fled. If this allowed Lin Yi Cheng to escape, it would only mean that the instigators were not just Fu Wen Hai and Lin Yi Cheng, but someone else as well. And that person was the one who tipped off Lin Yi Cheng, allowing him to escape as planned.
Thinking of this, the police narrowed their eyes. Had Fu Wen Hai kept something back and not told them the entire story? With this thought, the police couldn't help but squint, a cold glint flashing in their eyes. It seemed necessary to investigate this matter thoroughly to understand what was truly happening.
Fu Wen Hai was lying in the hospital. Before, he was seeing ghosts daily, filled with fear and dread. Now that he had confessed everything to the police, the ghosts were gone. However, he was still terrified. The police were guarding the entrance. How could he not be scared and fearful? Fu Wen Hai was actually afraid of killing and was a timid person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have asked Lin Yi Cheng to scare someone. But Fu Wen Hai hadn't expected that Lin Yi Cheng would actually kill someone. Now, Fu Wen Hai had gotten himself into a whole lot of trouble. Thinking of this, Fu Wen Hai felt utterly dejected. His expression turned extremely grim. Previously, Fu Wen Hai was afraid to be hospitalized because of the haunting. But now, Fu Wen Hai didn't want to be discharged. Being discharged meant getting into a police car and being taken away by the police. Who wouldn't be afraid to complete the discharge procedures?
Knowing the relationship between Fu Yan Ting and Lin Yi Cheng, the police called Fu Yan Ting to inquire if he knew Lin Yi Cheng's whereabouts. Fu Yan Ting responded, "I do." And he told the police Lin Yi Cheng's hiding place. Although the police knew about Fu Yan Ting and Lin Yi Cheng's relationship, and that Fu Yan Ting knew Lin Yi Cheng's current whereabouts, they did not dare to be arrogant when speaking to Fu Yan Ting. Even though Fu Yan Ting knew everything, the police still respectfully asked Fu Yan Ting about Lin Yi Cheng's whereabouts. After getting the answer, the police went to find Lin Yi Cheng.
When they found Lin Yi Cheng at Fu Yan Ting's club, the police frowned. Lin Yi Cheng had committed suicide. Without any warning, Lin Yi Cheng had killed himself. Seeing Lin Yi Cheng's body, the police felt completely disheartened. They had gone through so much trouble to finally locate Lin Yi Cheng, only to find a corpse when they arrived. This was Fu Yan Ting's territory, and Lin Yi Cheng was Fu Yan Ting's maternal uncle. The police dared not delay and quickly called Fu Yan Ting. Fu Yan Ting was surprised that the police had already found Lin Yi Cheng and were calling him, and he couldn't help but frown. However, it was Fu Yan Ting who had orchestrated Fu Wen Hai's confession and his subsequent implication of Lin Yi Cheng. Therefore, Fu Yan Ting could not ignore the police's call. He answered, his tone indifferent, "Officers, is there something else?" The police, on the other end of the line, seemed to have something difficult to say to Fu Yan Ting. Fu Yan Ting coldly asked, "What is it? You can speak directly. I dislike beating around the bush."
Alright, since Fu Yan Ting had put it that way, the police couldn't continue to procrastinate. Over the phone, the police stated plainly, "Mr. Fu, Lin Yi Cheng is your maternal uncle, and he was found on your property. I believe we need to report this to you." Upon hearing the police's words, Fu Yan Ting had a premonition that something had happened. Otherwise, the police wouldn't be speaking to him in such a manner. As Fu Yan Ting narrowed his eyes, contemplating what could have happened, the police said, "Lin Yi Cheng committed suicide." The police still needed to investigate further to determine the exact time of death and the method of suicide, as Lin Yi Cheng was implicated in several deaths. Therefore, even though Lin Yi Cheng was dead and might have thought he was escaping legal punishment, the police still could not return his body to the Lin family. In the past, when the Lin family was still prominent, perhaps the police would have shown them some respect. But now, the Lin family was no more. Lin Yi Cheng was also connected to several deaths, so the police directly took Lin Yi Cheng's body for an autopsy. Fu Yan Ting was stunned, remaining silent for a long time. He felt an indescribable emotion. His relationship with the Lin family wasn't good, and Lin Yi Cheng and Lin Qian hadn't treated him well, so Fu Yan Ting didn't have many strong feelings about Lin Yi Cheng's death. However, at this moment, when Fu Yan Ting heard the police tell him about Lin Yi Cheng's suicide, he found it difficult to accept the reality. After relaying the news of Lin Yi Cheng's suicide, the police waited for Fu Yan Ting's response. But after a long wait, they received no reply. The police cautiously asked, "Mr. Fu, are you still listening?" Fu Yan Ting snapped back to attention and calmly replied, "Do not spread the news of Lin Yi Cheng's death yet. Handle it as you see fit."
