He Yun saw that Fu Yan Ting was in a bad mood and cut to the chase. "Old Fu, this incident has caused such a huge stir, it's already caused a media frenzy."
Fu Yan Ting gave He Yun a cold glance.
Was he here to crack jokes?
Did he need to say that?
Fu Yan Ting knew it himself.
Let alone the fact that people had died this time.
Even a slight tremor in Fu's Group would make headlines.
With such a major incident, the media would naturally not let go of the opportunity to trend.
He Yun patted Fu Yan Ting's shoulder and suddenly asked, "Do you remember your uncle, Lin Yi Cheng?"
Fu Yan Ting froze. Lin Yi Cheng was incompetent and had even been imprisoned for crimes before.
The Lin family didn't like him much, but why was He Yun asking Fu Yan Ting this question? Out of the blue, why bring up Lin Yi Cheng to Fu Yan Ting?
Fu Yan Ting didn't think too much about it and just nodded faintly.
"Mm, it's good that you remember."
After saying this inexplicably, He Yun continued, "This incident was not an accident, but a premeditated murder. Do you know that?"
Although Fu Yan Ting had already suspected it, when these words were actually spoken by He Yun, Fu Yan Ting was stunned. He looked at He Yun and asked faintly, "What do you mean by that?"
He Yun said calmly, "Exactly what it sounds like."
In fact, Fu Yan Ting already understood what he meant. He just didn't want to believe it, didn't want to face the answer.
The Lin family was like an ugly mirror to Fu Yan Ting, and he was unwilling to acknowledge or face them.
To him, the Lin family was his nightmare.
He Yun patted Fu Yan Ting's shoulder in comfort and then left the hospital.
With the handling by Fu Yan Ting and Yan Xi, the families of the victims were temporarily pacified.
After receiving the compensation from Fu's Group, they agreed to drop the matter.
Fu Yan Ting was not short of money; any problem that could be solved with money did not bother him.
As for the families of the victims, Fu Yan Ting had already asked his assistant to investigate them.
Although they were grieving parents who had lost their children, and although their children had died at Fu's Group's annual party, the compensation Fu Yan Ting gave them was a substantial sum, enough for them to let go of the matter for money.
The company also helped to arrange the funerals of several young women, showing utmost consideration.
After all the arrangements were made, Fu Yan Ting recalled what He Yun had said to him at the hospital and frowned.
He then dialed a number. The call rang once, and the other party answered. "Yan Ting, what made you think of calling me?"
"There's no need for pretense between us. Come out, I want to see you."
Lin Yi Cheng had wanted to say something, but after Fu Yan Ting's words, he understood that Fu Yan Ting knew everything.
Since that was the case, there was no need for him to pretend anymore.
Fu Yan Ting arranged to meet Lin Yi Cheng at his club.
Lin Yi Cheng was a smart person and knew Fu Yan Ting's intentions for wanting to meet him. He didn't hide and allowed Fu Yan Ting to negotiate with him.
Yan Xi did not know that Fu Yan Ting was going to meet Lin Yi Cheng. Although He Yun had already told Yan Xi that Lin Yi Cheng was involved in the kidnapping of Yan Xi and the incident with Fu's Group employees, Fu Yan Ting had not told Yan Xi directly, so Yan Xi did not ask him.
Seeing that Fu Yan Ting had not rested well lately and was going out again, Yan Xi couldn't help but ask, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going out to discuss a collaboration. You stay at home and don't overthink things. I'll bring you something delicious when I get back."
In fact, Yan Xi knew that after this incident, Fu's Group's reputation had declined, and it wouldn't be easy to discuss collaborations.
Moreover, Fu Yan Ting had not been busy with work at the company recently; he had been at the hospital dealing with these matters. Where would he find time for collaborations?
Fu Yan Ting was clearly lying to Yan Xi.
However, if Fu Yan Ting didn't want to talk about certain things, Yan Xi wouldn't pry.
After leaving home, Fu Yan Ting hid away the tenderness he had shown Yan Xi and replaced it with a fierce aura.
He went to the club, where Lin Yi Cheng was already waiting for him in a private room.
Fu Yan Ting didn't beat around the bush. Upon entering, he immediately asked, "Speak, why did you do it?"
Lin Yi Cheng had anticipated that Fu Yan Ting would be direct, but he hadn't expected him to be so blunt.
For a moment, Lin Yi Cheng didn't know how to respond.
After sizing up Fu Yan Ting for a while, Lin Yi Cheng finally asked, "Yan Ting, what do you mean? I don't understand."
He was playing dumb and pretending not to understand, hoping Fu Yan Ting would explain things more clearly. Fine, Fu Yan Ting would oblige him.
"A while ago, Xi Xi had an accident. I know you were behind it. Tell me, what was your objective in doing this?"
"Yan Ting, what are you talking about? I really don't understand. Who is Xi Xi?"
"Lin Yi Cheng, I dared to go after the Lin family and Lin Qian. Don't think you have much influence with me; I won't do anything to you?"
Despite Fu Yan Ting's anger, Lin Yi Cheng remained extremely calm.
He stared at Fu Yan Ting for a long time before saying, "I truly don't understand. Perhaps you could be more direct."
Since he had said so, Fu Yan Ting was no longer polite. He sized up the other party and began to settle accounts with him one by one.
After Fu Yan Ting finished listing all the grievances, the other party laughed instead of getting angry.
Staring at Fu Yan Ting, he said faintly, "Yan Ting, you're still too young. Do you really think that the incident with your Fu's Group employees was my doing?"
Fu Yan Ting raised an eyebrow, looking at Lin Yi Cheng. If it wasn't him, then who else could it be?
Besides, Fu Yan Ting had caused the Lin family to go bankrupt because of Lin Qian. It was understandable for Lin Yi Cheng to hate him.
Therefore, upon hearing Lin Yi Cheng's words, Fu Yan Ting did not respond. His eyes were fixed on Lin Yi Cheng, as if trying to see through him.
Although Lin Yi Cheng was an elder, he was also truly afraid of Fu Yan Ting.
Fu Yan Ting was capable and excellent in all aspects. Lin Yi Cheng feared that Fu Yan Ting would catch him in the act of doing things, so he could only maintain his composure in front of Fu Yan Ting.
He tried his best not to speak if possible.
After all, speaking more would lead to more mistakes, and saying nothing would lead to no mistakes.
However, Fu Yan Ting had no intention of letting Lin Yi Cheng off the hook. Regardless of whether Lin Yi Cheng spoke or not, Fu Yan Ting had already thoroughly investigated the matter.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be so angry right now.
The incident with the company employees was a minor issue; he could simply offer some compensation.
However, he could not tolerate Lin Yi Cheng's kidnapping of Yan Xi for so many days.
