But Bo Shicheng seemed completely oblivious to Bo Ye's gaze, continuing his conversation with Fu Xiuheng with a gentle and polite smile on his face, while constantly exchanging project-related and complimenting remarks.

After a while, Bo Shicheng seemed to have finally finished saying what he needed to say, and then spoke to Fu Xiuheng.

"Mr. Fu, please think of this as a vacation. Take good care of your health and don't worry about anything else. We'll take our leave now."

After saying that, Bo Shicheng reached out and pulled Bo Ye along, then bowed slightly to Fu Liancheng and said politely.

"Mr. Fu, we'll take our leave now. Until we meet again."

Bo Ye was reluctant to leave, but he wanted to say something more and try to persuade Fu Xiuheng to leave.

But he really couldn't figure out what Bo Shicheng was up to.

Although she was filled with doubt and resentment, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and reluctantly follow Bo Shicheng away.

Fu Liancheng graciously instructed his men to see Bo Shicheng and Bo Ye off, while he himself stood there, his gaze following their receding figures.

He frowned slightly, lost in thought.

After an unknown amount of time, Fu Liancheng suddenly seemed to come to his senses, turned around abruptly, and strode quickly toward Fu Xiuheng.

His face was very pale, his eyes filled with suspicion, and he asked him in an unfriendly tone.

"What were you guys exchanging secret signals over there just now? Don't think I can't tell you're hiding something from me!"

Fu Xiuheng wore a very strange expression, his eyes full of doubt.

He stared intently at Fu Liancheng, his tone carrying a hint of amusement and exasperation.

“Uncle, you saw it clearly just now. I had just woken up when they came. I didn’t expect them to come at all. And after they arrived, I was talking to Bo Shicheng the whole time. You saw that too. It was the first time I met Bo Shicheng. We weren’t even familiar with each other yet. What kind of secret code could we be exchanging? Your idea is too strange.”

Fu Liancheng, however, did not believe Fu Xiuheng's explanation at all. He frowned, his eyes filled with suspicion, and after snorting, he waved his hand and shouted to his men.

"You lot, come here and search them thoroughly. Don't miss a single corner. Also, while you're at it, check this room, including Fu Xiuheng's bed, carefully. I want to see what kind of tricks Bo Shicheng and his gang are up to!"

Upon receiving the order, the subordinates immediately sprang into action, their expressions serious as they surrounded Fu Xiuheng and various parts of the house, meticulously inspecting each area.

Fu Xiuheng was rudely kicked off the bed by Fu Liancheng's men. He could only stand barefoot at the foot of the bed, his feet touching the cold ground, feeling a slight chill.

He stood there quietly, expressionless, watching the people rummage through the house, checking everything.

Fu Liancheng stood to the side with his arms crossed, looking at Fu Xiuheng's slightly disheveled appearance, a mocking smile curving his lips, and couldn't help but ridicule him.

"Look at you now, you don't look like the president of the Fu Group at all. You're just like a homeless person on the street. I think you should step down and give up your position, so you don't embarrass yourself here."

Fu Xiuheng coldly raised his head, his gaze as icy as he shot at Fu Liancheng, his tone full of indifference as he responded.

"Uncle, if you really want to be the president of the Fu Group, then you should openly compete for it. Saying these sour things to me is meaningless. And if I were to easily step down just because you made a few sarcastic remarks, then I would truly be unworthy of the position. I earned this position through my own abilities and hard work, and I'm not going to just hand it over to someone else."

Upon hearing Fu Xiuheng's words, Fu Liancheng's face flushed red with anger.

His eyes blazed with anger. He took a step forward, raising his voice considerably, and questioned Fu Xiuheng with a furious expression.

"What do you mean by that? Are you implying that I'm unworthy of my position? You'd better explain yourself clearly!"

Fu Xiuheng simply shook his head calmly, his face remaining expressionless, revealing little emotion, and spoke in a calm tone.

“Uncle, I didn’t mean that. I was just stating a fact. That position has always been given to the most capable person. If you really have the ability to lead the Fu Group better, then I will naturally give up my position willingly. There’s nothing to say about it.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Liancheng's expression softened slightly, and his tightly furrowed brows relaxed a little. However, before he could completely calm down, he heard Fu Xiuheng continue speaking unhurriedly.

"But what you're doing now, Uncle, really doesn't show how virtuous you are. You should know that yourself, right?"

Fu Liancheng's face instantly turned ugly again, and the anger he had just suppressed suddenly flared up again. He glared at Fu Xiuheng, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became tense again.

Fu Liancheng's eyes widened in anger as he pointed at Fu Xiuheng.

"Fu Xiuheng, do you know what you're saying?"

Fu Xiuheng, however, remained calm and nodded silently, his eyes revealing a stubbornness, and responded firmly.

"Uncle, of course I know what I'm saying. I understand it perfectly well."

Upon hearing this, Fu Liancheng was first taken aback, then he was so angry that he laughed, but his laughter was full of chill.

He said "good" several times in a row, each "good" sounding as if squeezed out from between his teeth, carrying a strong sense of threat. He stared fiercely at Fu Xiuheng as he spoke.

"Don't regret what you said today, or you'll regret it!"

Just then, his subordinates stepped forward and respectfully reported to Fu Liancheng.

"Boss, we checked it carefully and didn't find anything unusual."

Fu Liancheng frowned slightly, his eyes becoming increasingly dangerous. His gaze fell on Fu Xiuheng as if it were a physical object, and he snorted coldly before speaking.

"Since we can't find anything on the surface, let's investigate further. I refuse to believe we won't uncover something!"

Upon hearing this, his men immediately understood and their faces turned fierce. They strode towards Fu Xiuheng and, without saying a word, reached out to tear off his clothes.

Fu Xiuheng's originally calm expression finally changed. Anger gradually welled up in his eyes, his brows furrowed, and his chest heaved slightly with anger.

He could no longer suppress his anger, raised his voice, and questioned Fu Liancheng with piercing eyes.

"Uncle, how much humiliation did you suffer when you were wandering outside? Have those unbearable past events been tormenting you, twisting your mind into what it is now? So now you want to take it out on me, to vent all your resentment on me?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Liancheng showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, he curled his lips into a wicked smile, a smile full of arrogance and unbridled joy, and responded nonchalantly.
