Chapter 215 The Demise of the Du Family
Chen Xi pushed open the door and entered.
He held a cell phone and hesitated before saying, "Mr. Fu, it's a call from the Du family."
Fu Chengli's face darkened. He took the phone from Chen Xi, got up, and walked towards the door.
Just as Chen Xi was about to follow, An Ying called him back.
"Secretary Chen."
Chen Xi stopped and looked at An Ying: "Director An, are you feeling unwell? Do you need me to call a doctor for you?"
An Ying shook her head.
That's not what I meant.
An Ying was exhausted, but she still mustered all her strength and slowly said, "Can you tell me what President Fu is planning? What will he do to Du Sheng?"
Chen Xi was taken aback.
He sighed silently.
Du Sheng was incredibly audacious, practically risking his life, by pointing his gun at Fu Chengli.
After the shooting that night, the police pounced on him and easily subdued Du Sheng.
Du Sheng himself offered almost no resistance.
According to his statement at the police station, after entering the station, Du Sheng maintained an attitude of willingly surrendering himself, wanting to stay in the station for a few more days.
He didn't confess and get leniency, nor did he start anew.
He simply found a safe place to hide from Fu Chengli, waiting for his brother Du Yun to come and bail him out.
Based on Chen Xi's observations over the years...
Fu Chengli couldn't swallow this insult; he was determined to completely abandon the Du family as a pawn.
Giving up the Du family means that the Fu family's industrial interests in Yuncheng will be reshuffled.
Chen Xi felt only a dry and itchy throat.
An Ying may not yet realize the profound impact her kidnapping experience will have on the subsequent internal power dynamics within the Fu family.
An Ying had no idea that when she returned to Beicheng, she would face a barrage of attacks and accusations from the Fu family.
However, An Ying is now a weak patient lying in a hospital bed, having just returned from the brink of death.
Chen Xi didn't want to say anything that would only add to her stress.
"Director An, President Fu really cares about you. Focus on recovering during this time. As for the kidnapping..."
Chen Xi adjusted his black-rimmed glasses: "All I can say is that President Fu will not let you suffer any injustice."
An Ying's eyes reddened slightly: "Could you keep an eye on him and make sure he doesn't do anything reckless?"
Chen Xi was taken aback.
An Ying: "That day, I was standing the closest, and I saw Du Sheng's eyes. They were clearly murderous eyes. They wouldn't just sit and wait to die."
Chen Xi remained silent.
An Ying choked up, "Just now, Fu Chengli sounded like he wanted to kill Du Sheng again. I was scared..."
“He’s angry right now, and I’m afraid he might do something outrageous in the heat of the moment. I don’t want things to turn out like that because of me.”
An Ying calmed herself down.
"I won't see him again during this time. Keep a close eye on him and make sure he stays calm. I don't want to see him get hurt in any way."
Chen Xi immediately understood and replied, "Understood."
------
After waking up, An Ying stayed in the hospital for three more days.
Fu Chengli has not appeared in the past few days.
Ye Rao was unaware of the situation, only knowing that Fu Chengli was not coming to see An Ying, so she inevitably scolded him.
"What the hell! He made my An Ying suffer so much, and then he just disappeared like that?"
"Damn it, some rich men are just unreliable!"
"Does Fu Chengli think that by hiring a high-end caregiver and having a few bodyguards at the door, he can just slip away?"
An Ying silently ate her apple without saying a word.
That day, An Ying said she wanted to pause their relationship.
Fu Chengli neither agreed nor disagreed.
He simply ruffled her hair, told her to rest well, and not to worry about the future.
Then Chen Xi came to find him with his phone.
Chen Xi promised to keep a close eye on Fu Chengli and prevent him from going crazy.
An Ying breathed a slight sigh of relief.
They avoided meeting and gave each other the cold shoulder in their relationship.
This decision is good for both of them now.
Police officers came to visit during this time.
The main focus is on the details of the kidnapping that night and the various details after the incident, which requires An Ying to cooperate in giving a statement.
Ye Rao volunteered to become An Ying's lawyer.
She stayed with An Ying throughout the process and answered some questions on her behalf when necessary.
Besides, Ye Rao practically set up camp in An Ying's room.
Although a caregiver was hired, there were also bodyguards guarding the entrance.
Ye Rao was still worried and insisted on keeping a close eye on things herself.
Another reason is that Ye Rao noticed that An Ying's mood had been a bit off these past few days.
When asked what happened, she wouldn't say.
Ye Rao had no idea what the two of them said in the hospital room after Li Xiuzhe dragged her out that day.
She tried asking, but An Ying was in a low mood, and fearing it would delay her recovery, she gave up the idea of asking further.
That day, Ye Rao had just taken An Ying's medicine when she heard arguing outside the ward.
After a while, the ward door opened.
Fu Yushi, dressed in a hospital gown, swaggered in.
Several caregivers were chasing after them.
"Young Master, Chairman Fu instructed you not to wander around."
"Put on a coat; it's chilly outside."
"Young master, don't forget to take your medicine."
Fu Yushi had a look of annoyance on his face.
He held onto the door frame, closed the door, and locked it.
They were all locked out.
After not seeing him for several days, An Ying looked Fu Yu up and down and asked, "You've recovered quite well?"
Fu Yushi chuckled.
"Sister, being in the hospital is so boring, I feel like I'm going to get moldy."
Fu Yushi glanced at Ye Rao: "Lawyer sister, can I speak with An Ying alone for a while?"
Ye Rao plopped down in the chair, put her hands in her pockets, and tilted her head.
"No, I'm afraid of the Fu family now. Each one of them is more dangerous than the last."
“I must be present when you talk to An Ying, so that you don’t try anything with her.”
Fu Yushi stuck out his tongue.
He took the phone, swiped it a few times, and handed it to An Ying.
"Sister, look, this news just broke today."
An Ying hasn't looked at her phone for the past few days.
The trending topic is: "A deep dive into the Du family of Yuncheng! Can their whitewashing tactics still work?"
"The once-powerful Du family of Yuncheng has fallen from grace, facing charges of tax evasion, asset transfer, and several other crimes!"
The news exposed the Du family's actions in Yuncheng over the years.
Du Yun's image as a philanthropic businessman has completely collapsed.
The report also covered Du Sheng's case in Yecheng.
Fu Yushi raised an eyebrow: "My brother is really efficient. The Du family, which is so big, collapsed overnight."
"In the end, Du Sheng's efforts were all for naught. When he kidnapped you, he threatened my brother to hand over various businesses, but before he could even get anything into his own stomach, he had to spit it all out again. He deserves it."
Ye Rao was also looking down at her phone.
In the news, Bai Lingsen's name caught her attention.
Bai Lingsen, as a key lawyer witness, provided a wealth of clues.
She vaguely knew that Bai Lingsen was doing dirty work for some families.
Is he preparing to burn his bridges and turn over a new leaf?
