Fu Yan Ting walked out of the room and took out his phone to call Lin Qian.
Lin Qian seemed surprised that Fu Yan Ting would call her so soon.
Although Lin Qian was unwilling to contact Fu Yan Ting or acknowledge their relationship, she still answered the phone.
As soon as she picked up, before she could speak, Fu Yan Ting said with a cold and distant expression, "Madam Lin, don't think I don't know it was you who was meddling behind my back."
"What madness are you talking about? What have I done?"
Lin Qian had indeed ordered people to track Tang Jin, but she knew that Fu Yan Ting could be ruthless and disregard all ties when he was angry. Lin Qian dared not take the risk, so she played dumb.
Hearing Lin Qian's response, which seemed to be within Fu Yan Ting's expectations, he spoke unhurriedly, a slight smile playing on his lips, though it didn't reach his eyes.
Lin Qian knew that Fu Yan Ting was always uncontrollable, which was precisely why she disliked him so much. She preferred someone obedient.
Fu Yan Ting, however, was extremely rebellious, which bruised Lin Qian's pride.
Fu Yan Ting didn't answer Lin Qian's question. He simply said, "If you don't want the Lin family to run into trouble, I advise you to mind your own business."
"Fu Yan Ting, don't forget, you signed an agreement with me. You won't make a move against the Lin family. What? Do you intend to go back on your word?"
"I, Fu Yan Ting, never go back on my word. But that's on the condition that you also fulfill the terms you promised me. If you breach the agreement, why should I adhere to its stipulations? Don't you agree?"
"I don't know what you're talking about. I did as you said and released Miss Yan, and I haven't bothered you anymore."
"But you sent people to track us all the way to B City."
Fu Yan Ting's voice was very soft, and his statement was not a question but a certainty. He was now absolutely convinced that the person Tang Jin mentioned who was tracking him was indeed Lin Qian, and that Lin Qian's people were also responsible for the death of the herbal medicine shop owner.
If before, Fu Yan Ting had doubted that Lin Qian also harbored ambitions and was colluding with that mysterious organization, he now believed it.
"Fu Yan Ting, don't spew nonsense. You need evidence to speak."
"If I didn't have evidence, do you think I would be calling you, trying to alert you?"
After saying this, Fu Yan Ting hung up the phone.
Lin Qian was still comforting herself, thinking that Fu Yan Ting was just bluffing.
In reality, Fu Yan Ting knew nothing; he was just testing her.
Lin Qian didn't take Fu Yan Ting's words to heart at all.
But in the next second, Lin Qian was dumbfounded.
Fu Yan Ting immediately sent her a message containing all the records of Lin Qian's people tracking Fu Yan Ting.
Upon seeing the evidence, Lin Qian instantly lost her earlier confidence.
She had truly underestimated Fu Yan Ting's capabilities. She thought Fu Yan Ting wouldn't suspect her, and even if he did, it would take him some time to find concrete evidence. But Lin Qian never expected him to find proof so quickly and send it to her.
At this moment, Lin Qian panicked. A chill ran down her spine.
How capable was Fu Yan Ting? How did he know about this?
Lin Qian felt a creeping sense of unease.
She quickly called Fu Yan Ting.
When Fu Yan Ting answered, he smiled faintly and asked knowingly, "Madam Lin calling me proactively, is there something you need?"
"Fu Yan Ting, I beg you, don't make a move against the Lin family. Your brother has already taken over the Lin family. Are you going to stand by and watch your brother go from the eldest young master of the Lin family to a pauper?"
"What does that have to do with me? When you forced me to sign the agreement and made me give up ten percent of Fu Corporation's shares to subsidize your Lin family, did you ever consider my feelings?"
"That's different. The Fu family has vast assets. Besides, didn't your great-grandfather leave you a mine? Yan Ting, you must know that if my husband and I hadn't divorced back then, that mine would have belonged half to Lin Nan as well."
Fu Yan Ting was truly deeply disappointed in Lin Qian.
Even now, Lin Qian hadn't realized her mistake and was still trying to find a way out for Lin Nan.
Thinking of this, a chill intensified in Fu Yan Ting's heart.
"But the reality is, you left the Fu family with Lin Nan, and that mine has nothing to do with you. Moreover, you breached the agreement first. In that case, don't blame me for being merciless."
After speaking, Fu Yan Ting hung up the phone.
Fu Yan Ting knew Lin Qian was biased, but he never expected her to be so biased.
For Lin Nan, for the Lin family, she was willing to relentlessly pursue and harm Fu Yan Ting.
If the person who went to buy the herbal medicine had been Fu Yan Ting instead of Tang Jin, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Lin Qian was truly afraid, afraid that Fu Yan Ting would do something drastic.
Looking at the disconnected phone, she tried to call Fu Yan Ting again, but her number had been blocked.
Helpless, Lin Qian sent him a message, but a red exclamation mark appeared next to it.
Fu Yan Ting had blocked her.
Lin Qian was now completely distraught. She didn't know what Fu Yan Ting would do to the Lin family.
The Lin family was now so fragile that it couldn't withstand a single blow. If Fu Yan Ting wanted to deal with the Lin family, he could bring it down with little effort.
This was the primary reason why the Lin family patriarch dared not oppose Fu Yan Ting.
Now, the Lin family was utterly ruined by Lin Qian.
Lin Qian now deeply regretted having given birth to Fu Yan Ting.
When Fu Yan Ting was young, why hadn't she choked him to death with her own hands?
A cruel glint flashed in Lin Qian's eyes as she thought this.
After hanging up the phone, Fu Yan Ting's mood wasn't much better.
Since childhood, he had never understood why, despite being born to Lin Qian, she treated him with such indifference compared to Lin Nan.
When he was young, Fu Yan Ting would cry for his mother, but Lin Qian would tell him with a cold face that she disliked crying children.
From then on, Fu Yan Ting never shed another tear.
In Fu Yan Ting's dictionary, he could bleed, he could sweat, but he could not cry.
He thought that by doing so, he could earn his mother's love.
But as Fu Yan Ting grew older and Lin Qian remained indifferent, he finally understood a truth: there was a fundamental difference between actively asking for candy and being given candy.
From then on, Fu Yan Ting suppressed his longing for maternal love deep within his heart.
