Lakeside Manor, Zhou Mansion.

The Su-style garden with gray and white buildings, heavy bamboo shadows and scattered light shining obliquely, is like the spring scenery of Jiangnan.

The old man of the Zhou family was wearing a long gown and a mandarin jacket, with a pair of reading glasses hanging on his chest. He was lying in a rocking chair in front of the glass window with his legs crossed.

"Old man." Butler Zhou stepped forward and took the phone.

Old Master Zhou half dozed off, lowering his eyes and shaking his head. "Why did everything stop? Keep playing the music, keep performing."

In the center of the main hall, a man in a gray gown wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, bowed and nodded, then stood up in an instant, looking very stylish, and picked up the gavel on the long table with a bang!

"Speaking of which, when the old man of the Fu family, Fu Lingnan, returned home, he was filled with regret and immediately invited an orthopedic expert from Lian City to treat the young master of the Fu family..."

Butler Zhou silently poured Zhou Guochao a cup of hot tea and told him to eat melons. The old man even wrote a script himself and asked the crosstalk actors to perform it in the form of storytelling. This is really something.

"Ding--"

There was a sound in the elevator lobby and a girl came out.

"grandfather."

Zhou Guochao opened his eyes and slowly sat up. "Oh, Shanshan is here? Did she wake you up because of the noise?"

Zhou Qishan has neat short hair, black pants and a white T-shirt. She is taller than girls of the same age. From a distance, she looks more like a boy than a girl.

She scratched her ear and glanced towards the main hall, her face filled with helplessness. "You've written a new play? Where did you get the inspiration this time?"

Zhou Guochao looked very proud and waved at her, "Come over and listen to it with grandpa, you'll know for sure. It's absolutely wonderful!"

Grandpa's drama was even more melodramatic than the soap operas at 8 o'clock. Zhou Qishan couldn't stand it at all. She shook her head and refused without thinking, "No, I have an appointment with Ah Miao. She hates people being late the most. She has a sharp tongue and I don't want to be poisoned to death."

"Oh, the little girl from the Su family?"

Zhou Guochao felt a little regretful, "Go ahead... Wait a minute!" Suddenly remembering something, Old Man Zhou coughed lightly and pretended to be casual, "Is it just you and the girl from the Su family? Isn't the little girl from the Shen family with you?"

Zhou Qishan looked puzzled, "No, Grandpa, why do you care about this?"

Mr. Zhou drank his tea to cover up, "Don't you care about me, Grandpa? I heard you guys were often together before, why don't you play together?"

"She was always the one sticking with us, but later on, Ah Miao thought she was stupid and didn't want to hang out with her anymore, so we didn't spend much time together anymore."

Zhou Qishan realized it later, "Grandpa, why are you suddenly so interested in Jiang Huashan?"

Stupid?! How could stupidity cause Fu Lingnan to fall so hard?!

Zhou Guochao seemed to be thinking about something and waved his hand. "Grandpa is just asking casually. Okay, didn't you say that the Su family girl is still waiting? Go ahead and ask Butler Zhou to arrange a car for you and come back early."

Zhou Qishan nodded and turned to leave the main hall. When she came to her senses, she paused.

Was it her imagination? Why did she seem to hear the words "Yao Family" appear in Grandpa's new story just now?

Wangxia Square, the landmark of Lian City, is the ancestral home of the Fu family.

Fu Jiaming was awakened by the pain for the third time. The nurse was holding his leg in a hanging position. Fu Jiaming suddenly became furious and picked up a cup on the table and smashed it into the nurse's face.

"Ah!" The nurse screamed and fell to the ground. When he came to his senses, his head had been split open.

Fu Lingnan was discussing the treatment plan with the attending physician outside the house. When he heard the noise in the house, he frowned and walked in.

In the room, the female nurse was crying and shouting while holding a bloody head. Fu Lingnan waved his hand and said, "Take the person away."

The doctor who followed in was also frightened by the scene and watched in panic as a group of people carried the female nurse out.

Fu Jiaming's face was sinister, and he looked a little crazy. "Dad, my leg...how's my leg?"

Fu Lingnan glanced at the doctor and waved his hand, "You go down first."

The doctor wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and retreated trembling.

Fu Jiaming suddenly had a bad feeling in his heart, and stared at Fu Lingnan, "Dad, you won't abandon me, right? What did the doctor say? My leg..."

Fu Lingnan slowly walked to the bedside, his eyes cold, "It's just a leg. Even if a man from my Fu family had both legs broken, it wouldn't be a big deal. Look at you, what do you look like?"

Fu Jiaming's face turned pale, and his ten fingers tightly grasped the quilt under him, "Shen Zhuang... Shen Jiao..."

Fu Lingnan, "Now that things have come to this, you and Shen Jiao should take the time to get a divorce."

"Don't even think about it!" Fu Jiaming's eyes flashed with malice, "You think you can escape unscathed after crippling one of my legs? Dream on!"

Fu Lingnan frowned, "Let's put this matter aside for now. The most urgent matter is the matter of File No. 49."

Fu Jiaming's face froze, and he was a little unwilling. "Dad, we didn't say anything at the time, how did that little girl know? This thing looks a bit sinister, why don't we..."

Fu Lingnan raised his hand to stop him, using his eyes to stifle him, "Idiot! Do you really think that little girl said that? Shen Zhuang said so much, but only one sentence is the most pertinent."

Fu Jiaming was puzzled.

Fu Lingnan's eyes were deep. "She's just a child. If no one taught her, she would never have made up such a lie. Since we didn't say it, someone must have told it. Shen Zhuang, Shen Zhuang, I didn't expect you to have such a hidden trick up your sleeve."

Fu Jiaming was shocked. "Dad, are you saying that Shen Zhuang was behind all this? Impossible! 'The Matter of File No. 49' was so covert and flawless. There's no way Shen Zhuang would have discovered it so quickly."

Fu Lingnan shook his head, with a shrewd and confident look, "There's no such thing as a completely impenetrable wall. Now that we've done this, it can't be perfect. That little girl is just a cover. Shen Zhuang is trying to trick us."

Fu Jiaming suddenly felt that his father's analysis made sense, and he couldn't help but start to panic, "Then...what should we do? The Shen family and we have already formed a feud. If Shen Zhuang finds out, our Fu family will be finished."

A hint of undercurrent flashed across Fu Lingnan's turbid eyes. After careful consideration, he finally made an important decision.

"It seems that I can only contact Mr. Bai."
