Fu Wenhai's face changed drastically upon hearing Fu Yan Ting's words.
However, Fu Wenhai quickly regained his composure. Fu Yan Ting was best at negotiations.
He was clearly saying this in front of Fu Wenhai on purpose, to make Fu Wenhai give up hope.
Fu Wenhai wasn't that foolish.
Thinking this, Fu Wenhai's lips curled into a slight smile. He said calmly, "Fu Yan Ting, you're still a bit too naive. So what if the fruit knife is with me? The public's eyes are sharp. Everyone saw that I was the one injured, not you. This point alone is enough for you to argue."
Seeing Fu Wenhai's stubborn refusal to believe the truth, Fu Yan Ting knew there was no saving him.
Fu Yan Ting nodded, looked at Fu Wenhai with sympathy, and then softly said, "Since that's the case, Uncle, you go ahead and do your best."
With that, he turned and headed towards the emergency room.
Shen Hao Lin was still in the emergency room.
No matter what, Shen Hao Lin was injured saving Fu Yan Ting. If it weren't for Shen Hao Lin, Fu Yan Ting would be the one lying inside. Therefore, Fu Yan Ting had to go and see Shen Hao Lin and show his concern.
After Fu Yan Ting left, Fu Wenhai became dejected. Although he had been so strong in front of Fu Yan Ting, Fu Wenhai knew very well Fu Yan Ting's capabilities. If this matter were to be exposed, it would do him no good.
With a heavy heart, Fu Wenhai saw Li Qin return and asked irritably, "Where have you been?"
"Can't I have a little of my own space? Do I have to report my whereabouts to you?"
Li Qin's attitude was no better.
Fu Wenhai pursed his lips, remained silent for a moment, and then said, "That's not what I meant."
Then, Fu Wenhai recounted to Li Qin everything that had happened when Fu Yan Ting visited him at the hospital.
After finishing, Fu Wenhai looked at Li Qin, hoping for some comfort.
Li Qin usually had the most ideas. In the Fu family, Fu Wenhai could openly contend with Fu Yan Ting because Li Qin was the one strategizing behind the scenes.
As the saying goes, behind every successful man is an outstanding woman.
Although he and Li Qin had no affection for each other and lived separate lives, Fu Wenhai had to admit that Li Qin was indeed cunning and resourceful.
If it weren't for Li Qin, he wouldn't have reached his current position in Fu Corporation. He would still be at home every day, eagerly awaiting the meager dividends from the company that Fu Yan Ting doled out to him each month.
Even though Li Qin's character was questionable, she was very dedicated to Fu Wenhai's pursuit of the family fortune.
This was why Fu Wenhai would report his confrontations with Fu Yan Ting to Li Qin without reservation.
After listening to Fu Wenhai, Li Qin fell into silence.
Seeing Li Qin not saying a word, Fu Wenhai thought she had abandoned him. He snorted coldly and said irritably, "Li Qin, if you really abandon me, then don't expect to get any of my family fortune. If anything happens to me, I'll donate the money rather than leave it to you."
Hearing Fu Wenhai's voice, Li Qin finally regained her focus. She stared at Fu Wenhai and said faintly, "Look at what you're saying. How could I abandon you? I'm just thinking of a solution for you."
Hearing Li Qin say this, Fu Wenhai's expression softened slightly. He asked calmly, "Then tell me."
Li Qin pursed her lips, remained silent for a moment, and then looked at Fu Wenhai. Her eyes were as sinister as a venomous snake. She said, "Husband, Fu Yan Ting has always been cautious and meticulous, and we haven't found any leverage against him. It's quite difficult to bring him down."
Fu Wenhai glanced at Li Qin dismissively. Did she need to state the obvious?
After being Fu Yan Ting's uncle for so many years, did he not know this?
Although he thought this, Fu Wenhai didn't show it on the surface.
He just examined Li Qin and asked, "Then what do you suggest we do?"
"Dead men tell no tales. If we want Fu Yan Ting to be silenced forever, then we might as well go all out and get rid of him."
Fu Wenhai was still not as ruthless as Li Qin.
Upon hearing Li Qin's suggestion, Fu Wenhai said with a conflicted expression, "Isn't that a bit too much? No matter what, he's still a child of the Fu family, my own nephew. Wouldn't it be too cruel to do that to him?"
"Husband, are you too soft-hearted and foolish? Think about it, how does Fu Yan Ting treat you? Even if you don't act against him, he's never given you a second glance. You're still trying to find excuses for him, but he doesn't care about your efforts."
Li Qin paused and added, "You treat him like your nephew, but does he treat you like his uncle? If you're not a little ruthless towards him, he won't let you off either. Wake up."
Fu Wenhai still wanted to express his hesitation, but since Li Qin had put it this way, he couldn't insist further. He finally nodded and said, "Alright, we'll do as you say."
Li Qin examined Fu Wenhai, feeling a deep disdain. Fu Wenhai was indecisive and motherly, not manly at all. If he had been more decisive, Fu Yan Ting wouldn't have been a problem.
Their family wouldn't have been bullied by Fu Yan Ting at the old residence, and Fu Wenhai wouldn't have ended up in the hospital.
Although she looked down on Fu Wenhai, Li Qin didn't show it too obviously. She continued to comfort him, "Husband, you have to believe me. Once you overthrow Fu Yan Ting and become the head of Fu Corporation, countless people will flock to you. You won't have to endure so much humiliation like you do now."
Fu Wenhai calmed down and thought carefully. He realized that Li Qin had a point.
Since Fu Yan Ting didn't respect him as his uncle and didn't consider him family, why should he care about Fu Yan Ting's dignity?
Fu Wenhai decided to follow Li Qin's plan.
But it was easier said than done. Fu Yan Ting was so astute and vigilant, and he was protected by a host of secret guards. It wouldn't be easy to act against him.
Fu Wenhai fell into indecision once more.
This time, it wasn't about being soft-hearted, but about not knowing how to lure Fu Yan Ting out and kill him.
The secret guards around Fu Yan Ting were all ex-special forces, trained in covert operations. They were not to be trifled with.
By the time they got close to Fu Yan Ting, they would be taken down by those secret guards, which would be like alerting the enemy.
