Thinking back, what he said at the time was truly as despicable as it gets.
Fu Yan Ting's intestines turned green with regret. He couldn't afford to care about anything else. He grabbed the share transfer agreement and headed to his office.
He needed to find Yan Xi. He needed to clear up the misunderstanding with Yan Xi.
He wanted to earn Yan Xi's forgiveness.
He hoped Yan Xi would forgive him this time for their son's sake.
He Yun watched Fu Yan Ting's retreating back.
There was an inexpressible emotion in his heart.
He hoped Yan Xi could be happy.
But his heart ached too, a needle-like pain eroding his entire body, down to the bone marrow.
He Yun loved Yan Xi too, but he also knew clearly that the gap between him and Yan Xi was too vast.
He couldn't, for his own selfish reasons, ruin Yan Xi's happiness.
Yan Xi deserved to be surrounded by happiness.
He Yun gave a bitter smile and turned to leave.
Fu Yan Ting returned to his office but found no sign of Yan Xi.
At that moment, Fu Yan Ting's heart felt as if it had been brutally hollowed out.
He stood there, utterly dejected, at the office doorway.
Fu Yan Ting knew that this time, he had thoroughly angered Yan Xi, and Yan Xi had completely left him.
Fu Yan Ting was consumed by regret. Why had he accused Yan Xi without understanding the situation? If he hadn't been blinded by rage and had seen clearly, perhaps he and Yan Xi wouldn't have ended up like this.
Fu Yan Ting searched for Yan Xi like a madman.
He called Yan Xi's phone, but it went unanswered.
Fu Yan Ting tasked Xin Yi with investigating Yan Xi's whereabouts. However, there was no trace of Yan Xi on ships, trains, cars, or planes, nor any record of her purchasing tickets.
Yan Xi had seemingly vanished into thin air.
This drove Fu Yan Ting to the brink of madness.
He utilized all his connections to find Yan Xi, but there was still no sign of her.
When He Yun learned of Yan Xi's departure, he went to Fu Corporation to find Fu Yan Ting. Upon seeing He Yun, Fu Yan Ting resembled a defeated lion, stripped of his usual ferocity.
He asked, "He Yun, do you think I'm a failure? I've made Yan Xi disappear completely from my world."
He Yun had initially intended to reprimand Fu Yan Ting, but seeing him in such a state, he couldn't bear it.
He asked, "You still haven't found Xi Xi?"
"How can I find someone who truly wants to avoid me?"
This time, Yan Xi really didn't want him anymore.
The outside world described him, Fu Yan Ting, as decisive, cruel, ruthless, and heartless.
But compared to Yan Xi, Fu Yan Ting felt he was much better.
Yan Xi was the truly cruel one.
Yan Xi was the one who had completely abandoned him.
"Yan Ting, have you asked Yan Zi Tong? He should understand Xi Xi well and know where Xi Xi went."
Indeed, the saying "The onlooker sees clearly" was absolutely true.
The share transfer agreement last time was also an example. Fu Yan Ting had been so enraged that he lost his reason and didn't see the flaw, which allowed those people to exploit the situation.
And now, Yan Xi was missing, and Fu Yan Ting was searching the world for her, but couldn't find her.
Fu Yan Ting was like a lonely lion, almost driven to madness, yet he had completely forgotten that his son was still in his possession.
Fu Yan Ting couldn't find Yan Xi, but that didn't mean his son couldn't.
Yan Xi didn't want to see Fu Yan Ting, but she couldn't ignore her son's life, could she?
Fu Yan Ting had been despondent just moments ago, but now he was much more invigorated.
He Yun was right. If he wanted to know Yan Xi's whereabouts, he had to bring their son into play.
During this time, Fu Yan Ting had not dealt with the company's lawyers or the board members.
He was secretly collecting evidence of their criminal activities.
He intended to wait for Yan Xi's return and let her personally deal with them.
Fu Yan Ting already knew about the board members' actions, yet he hadn't taken further steps, which made the board members quite anxious.
Also, what He Qi had said when he was taken away by the police had made these board members uneasy.
They all felt like something was about to happen.
They wanted to flee, but all their assets were frozen, and they had no money to escape. They could only wait at home for death.
This feeling was truly unbearable.
They went to Fu Corporation to see Fu Yan Ting, but were denied entry. Fu Yan Ting gave them no chance to explain.
Fu Yan Ting left the company and went to the base.
He hadn't visited Yan Zi Tong in a long time. To cultivate his son's independence, he had to abandon him in the wilderness.
Fu Yan Ting only occasionally called Yan Zi Tong. The people here were his subordinates, and Fu Yan Ting trusted them implicitly.
Furthermore, every time he spoke with Yan Zi Tong, his son sounded very happy. So, Fu Yan Ting had left him alone on the island.
Fu Yan Ting's original intention was to nurture his relationship with Yan Xi. As for Yan Zi Tong, he would let him grow up on his own.
If he couldn't endure this little hardship now, how could he inherit Fu Corporation in the future?
This was the main reason why Fu Yan Ting had left Yan Zi Tong on the island without much oversight.
But Fu Yan Ting hadn't expected that Yan Xi cared so much about their son that she would abandon him to leave him.
This was what Fu Yan Ting couldn't accept the most, and it was the most painful point.
How disappointed must Yan Xi be in him that she would abandon their son, whom she cared about the most, and leave him resolutely?
He was wrong. He truly knew he was wrong.
He now wished for Yan Xi to return to his side.
Upon arriving at the island, Fu Yan Ting prepared to find Yan Zi Tong.
However, Fu Yan Ting didn't expect that even returning to his own island would be fraught with difficulties. Standing outside, Fu Yan Ting was blocked by a barrier.
He couldn't help but frown.
His subordinates wouldn't be so foolish as to set up a barrier.
Before Fu Yan Ting could react, his phone rang with a beep.
It was a message from Yan Zi Tong.
"Scumbag dad, are you begging me to help you win back Mommy?"
Although Yan Zi Tong was on the island, he used his hacking skills every day to infiltrate their home and company. Yan Zi Tong knew every detail of what had happened between Yan Xi and Fu Yan Ting.
He hadn't asked because he thought his scumbag dad could handle it.
But it seemed now that scumbag dad was still scumbag dad, unable to handle even such matters of the heart.
Since he was now begging Yan Zi Tong, Yan Zi Tong wouldn't be so easy to deal with.
Fu Yan Ting frowned. This brat was deliberately making things difficult for him. He had already guessed why he had come to the island to find him.
The key was that he knew Fu Yan Ting was desperately trying to find Yan Xi's whereabouts, yet he deliberately set up a barrier.
Fu Yan Ting had to break through this barrier before he could see Yan Zi Tong.
Fu Yan Ting replied, almost gritting his teeth, "Hurry up and open this barrier for me."
The next second, Yan Zi Tong replied with a picture of a mischievous boy.
