She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

He stood up, a seemingly sincere smile on his face, took two steps forward, and said to Fu Liancheng.

“Mr. Fu, we understand your proposal of exchanging goods for people. But you also need to consider things from our perspective. This so-called ‘delivery,’ which is the result we want to achieve, comes at a considerable cost. Business competition is inherently ruthless, and doing this is undoubtedly walking a tightrope, with enormous risks. Therefore, we cannot do this kind of unprofitable business, don’t you think?”

He spoke in a humble yet assertive tone, attempting to secure some favorable terms for his side in the negotiations.

Fu Liancheng narrowed his eyes slightly, carefully examining Bo Shicheng, pondering his words in his heart.

It must be said that Bo Shicheng's words did make some sense, leaving Bo Shicheng unable to find a reason to refute them for the time being.

After a moment, he nodded and spoke.

"Yes, I understand your concerns. How about this: after this is done, I can retain the shares that Old Master Fu gave to Fu Xingze when he was born. However, Fu Xingze will have no say in the Fu Group after he grows up; he can only receive dividends. Moreover, I can find someone to act as a guarantor, ensuring that my promise today will be fulfilled in the future. This is already my biggest concession. What do you think?"

Although his tone carried a hint of reluctance, a sly glint flashed in his eyes, as if he felt that his concession was sincere enough.

Bo Shicheng glanced at Bo Ye, their eyes met, and they nodded slightly.

Bo Shicheng continued, "Mr. Fu, we are very grateful for your concession. But we haven't even seen Fu Xiuheng yet, so it's really hard for us to feel at ease doing what we're about to do. We need to at least confirm that he's safe before we can help you with our work. Isn't that only natural?"

Fu Liancheng frowned impatiently, feeling somewhat annoyed by Bo Shicheng and Bo Ye's caution, but he also knew that their demands were not excessive under the circumstances.

He waved his hand, signaling his assistant to take action.

A moment later, the large screen in the living room lit up, showing a dimly lit room where Fu Xiuheng was lying on the bed with his eyes closed, his face pale, and his body motionless, with only the blankets rising and falling gently with his weak breathing.

Bo Ye and Bo Shicheng's hearts clenched instantly. They stared intently at the screen, trying to glean more information about Fu Xiuheng from the limited footage.

“That won’t do, Mr. Fu.” Bo Shicheng broke the silence first.

"Nobody knows if the video is real-time. We need to see Fu Xiuheng in person to confirm his safety."

His tone was firm, and his eyes revealed an undeniable authority.

Fu Liancheng finally couldn't hold back any longer. He stood up abruptly, his smile vanishing completely, replaced by a face full of anger.

"You two, don't push your luck! You've already shown me enough sincerity, yet you're still finding fault. Don't forget, Fu Xiuheng's life is in my hands now!"

His voice rose several decibels, and he became somewhat agitated.

Bo Ye also stood up, walked to Bo Shicheng's side, and looked at Fu Liancheng with a firm gaze.

“Mr. Fu, we just want to ensure Fu Xiuheng’s safety, which is not unreasonable. We are willing to cooperate with you, but only if we can see Fu Xiuheng in person. That is our bottom line.”

Fu Liancheng glared at Bo Ye and Bo Shicheng, weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

If their demand is not met, the deal is likely to stall, and he urgently needs the help of Bo Ye and Bo Shicheng to achieve his goals.

After a moment, he gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"Alright, I'll let you see him once, but you can only look at him from a distance and you can't do anything underhanded."

Bo Ye and Bo Shicheng were taken outside the villa.

Fu Liancheng's assistant stepped forward, a polite yet undeniably firm smile on his face, and bowed slightly as he spoke.

"Please put on your blindfolds, and please hand over your cell phones for safekeeping."

Upon hearing this, Bo Ye's eyes widened in anger, veins bulging on his neck. He took a step forward, pointed at his assistant, and loudly questioned him.

"What do you take us for? Do you think we're dogs to be manipulated? Why should we listen to you?!"

His voice was filled with anger and resentment, and his hands were clenched into fists as if he were about to throw a punch at someone.

Seeing this, Bo Shicheng quickly reached out and tightly grabbed Bo Ye's arm, his eyes revealing a hint of helplessness and reassurance, and gently shook his head at him.

He then turned to his assistant, forced a smile, and said politely.

"We'll cooperate."

After saying that, he took the lead and put on the blindfold.

Although Bo Ye was unwilling, at Bo Shicheng's prompting, he could only grit his teeth and put on the blindfold.

The car started slowly, bumping along the way. The two silently calculated the time and distance in the darkness, but had no clue how far they had gone.

After a long while, the car finally came to a stop.

Bo Ye eagerly ripped off his blindfold, got out of the car, and quickly looked around. All he saw was a thick veil of white mist covering everything in the mountains, making it impossible to discern directions or location.

Fu Liancheng appeared behind them at some point, a mocking smile on his face, and said leisurely.

"Don't bother looking, it's always foggy here, you can't see anything."

Bo Ye cursed Fu Liancheng inwardly for his cunning, but given the current situation, they had no choice but to follow Fu Liancheng into the manor.

With each step, Bo Ye kept a close eye on his surroundings, trying to find a possible escape route or opening for Fu Xiuheng, but the manor was heavily guarded, dashing his hopes time and time again.

They were led to the room where Fu Xiuheng was being held.

Bo Ye glanced over and saw Fu Xiuheng curled up on the bed, his face as pale as paper, completely bloodless, and looking extremely weak.

Bo Ye's heart clenched, and he instinctively wanted to rush in to check the situation, but was quickly stopped by Fu Liancheng's men.

"Halt! You can only watch from the doorway," one of his men said coldly, his eyes carrying a warning.

Bo Ye was instantly enraged. He forcefully shook off the hands that were blocking him and roared, "Get out of the way! What did you do to him?"

Fu Liancheng's men immediately surrounded him, each one rubbing their hands together, ready to pounce.

Bo Ye met their gazes without flinching, his eyes burning with rage, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.

Upon seeing this, Bo Shicheng hurriedly stepped forward, spread his arms to shield Bo Ye, and said to Fu Liancheng with a smile on his face.

“Mr. Fu, you see, Xiu Heng is asleep now, so we can't see anything. We need to keep him awake at least. Besides, with so many people here, even if we wanted to do something sneaky, we wouldn't have a chance, right?”

Fu Liancheng frowned impatiently, feeling extremely dissatisfied with Bo Shicheng and Bo Ye's many demands. However, considering that his plan still required their cooperation, he had no choice but to suppress his anger and reluctantly say so.

"You guys have so many demands. Fine, we'll do it your way."
