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

"Moreover, I believe that although I am now the president of Shenghai Group, the company's current scale is inseparable from the help of many people. Therefore, Shenghai Group is not my personal property."

Grandpa Fu sat quietly in his chair, the air in the room seemed to freeze, with only the ticking of the clock on the wall, each tick like a heavy blow to one's heart.

His hands rested limply on the armrests, his eyes staring blankly ahead, the wrinkles on his face seemed to deepen, and he looked as if he had aged several years in an instant.

After an unknown amount of time, he finally slowly raised his head, looked at Lin Qingran, and asked in a hoarse voice.

"Then what do you want me to do?"

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, straightened her spine, met Old Master Fu's gaze firmly, and said, word by word.

"Call the police and rescue Fu Xiuheng first. At the same time, you must turn yourself in and face all the mistakes you have made, whether it is the debt you owe to your first love or the injustice you have done to Fu Liancheng, you must honestly take responsibility."

Her voice wasn't loud, but it sounded exceptionally clear and powerful in the quiet room.

Every word felt like a heavy stone, striking Old Master Fu's heart.

Grandpa Fu seemed to have all his strength drained away, remaining silent before wearily waving his hand.

Seeing this, Lin Qingran didn't say anything more, turned around and left.

Bo Ye quickly followed Lin Qingran's footsteps, moved closer, and asked in a low voice.

"Will this tactic really work? What if Grandpa Fu doesn't agree? Wouldn't this matter just drag on and on indefinitely?"

Lin Qingran gently shook her head, then turned to look at Bo Shicheng. Bo Shicheng understood, nodded silently, and said in a low voice.

“I have secretly recorded your conversation with Grandpa Fu just now.”

Upon hearing this, Bo Ye gasped, stared wide-eyed at Lin Qingran, and couldn't help but say something.

"Jiuge, you're going all in! You're pushing Old Master Fu to the brink of despair."

Yes, Lin Qingran seemed to have recovered long before she arrived.

If he still refuses to agree to their demands, they will hand the video over to the police.

She had no choice but to force Old Master Fu to comply.

Lin Qingran sighed helplessly, her face full of complicated emotions, and slowly said.

“I don’t want to be so ruthless, but Old Master Fu is too stubborn, and Fu Liancheng is ruthless. If we don’t do this, things will only get worse and worse, and there will be no way to end it. However, I will still give Old Master Fu one night to think it over. If he comes to his senses, then this video will naturally be useless. But if he remains obstinate, then I will have no choice but to completely break ties with him.”

The long night was so quiet it was unsettling; everyone tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep.

As dawn broke and a dim light filtered into the room, Lin Qingran remained seated quietly on the sofa, like a lifeless sculpture, her eyes closed and her brows slightly furrowed, as if she were weighing something in her mind.

After an unknown amount of time, Lin Qingran slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were already bloodshot and she looked exhausted.

She turned to look at Bo Ye, who had also been up all night and looked gloomy, sighed heavily, and said in a low voice.

"Call the police."

Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed across Bo Ye's face. He nodded slightly and slowly reached for the phone that was placed to the side.

But at that very moment, Lin Qingran's phone rang first.

The sudden ringtone sounded particularly jarring in the quiet atmosphere, and both of them instantly jumped to their throats, their eyes fixed on the flashing phone screen, their hearts pounding uncontrollably.

A moment later, Lin Qingran took a deep breath, as if she had mustered up a great deal of courage, and raised her hand to answer the phone.

The slightly tired voice of Old Master Fu came from the other end of the phone, "I never thought that I would be defeated by you, Lin Qingran, in the end."

Lin Qingran listened in silence, her lips pressed tightly together, unsure how to respond.

Grandpa Fu fell silent for a moment before speaking again in a low voice.

"Very well, now this world belongs to you young people. It's time for us old folks to step down."

Grandpa Fu and Lin Qingran agreed to meet at the police station entrance. Accompanied by Lin Qingran, Grandpa Fu entered the police station and recounted his grievances with his first love and Jiangnan.

Jiangcheng police quickly investigated the matter and soon uncovered Jiangnan's background.

After going bankrupt early in his life, he took the remaining assets of his family and went to Qing'an City to start a security company.

However, over the years, that security company has had a bad reputation.

Many people have reported that this company, which ostensibly provides security services to clients, is actually engaged in activities similar to those of organized crime, and its methods of making money are not exactly aboveboard.

Moreover, there were also substantial economic exchanges between Fu Liancheng and Jiangnan.

From this, we can roughly conclude that Fu Liancheng must have been at least a trusted confidant in the underground business of Jiangnan.

However, because they are cautious in their work, and because many whistleblowers eventually recant their testimonies, this security company has remained standing to this day. Even Jiang Nan has gone overseas to live a retired life.

The police also followed the clues and found out about Jiangnan's current situation overseas.

It is said that he now lives a very luxurious and comfortable life, and even has the title of philanthropist overseas, frequently participating in various charitable activities.

His name abroad is Vincent.

Upon hearing this news, Lin Qingran couldn't help but widen her eyes in surprise. She never expected that everything would eventually become a closed loop.

Lin Qingran quickly called up the clues she had found earlier, along with Zhao Long.

Incidentally, I took Fu Xingze to the hospital for a mental evaluation.

As expected, Fu Xingze's mental state was no different from Fu Xiuheng's.

However, he was young, so Zhou Lan didn't dare to be too bold when experimenting on him, for fear of killing him.

Therefore, the impact is not significant at present, and with subsequent treatment, Fu Xingze has a high probability of recovery.

After this incident, the police will reconsider Fu Xingze's case, and the problem that had troubled Lin Qingran for so long can be considered solved.

Lin Beicheng's investigation revealed that Yun Chengling's case was intricately linked to Zhou Lan's criminal gang.

Police from Yuncheng, Jiangcheng, and Qing'an City joined forces to formally begin an investigation into this major case.

Police from Qing'an City immediately dispatched officers to the manor to rescue Fu Xiuheng.
