Lin Qingran had to admit that she had indeed had such thoughts.

So, although she and Fu Rongrong have a good relationship, Fu Rongrong is ultimately a member of the Fu family.

Lin Qingran herself wouldn't believe that she had absolutely no guard up.

Now that the truth has suddenly been exposed, Lin Qingran does feel somewhat guilty.

Lin Qingran took a deep drag of her cigarette, slowly exhaled a smoke ring, and looked at Fu Rongrong.

“Rongrong, I know it was my fault. I shouldn’t have been so wary of you. But you also know that your older brother has always wanted to harm Shenghai Group, and he has even more ill intentions towards me. I was forced into this situation.”

Fu Rongrong's eyes reddened, feeling both wronged and angry.

"Sister Qingran, I understand my brother's character, but I'm not like him! I genuinely consider you my sister, wanting to help you and protect you, yet you're so wary of me. What do you take me for!"

“I understand, but he is still your older brother,” Lin Qingran said softly.

"Some things, once exposed, you'll have to witness us killing each other."

As she spoke, Lin Qingran noticed that Fu Rongrong's eyes had become even redder.

Lin Qingran was filled with guilt and finally felt deflated. She stepped forward and gently helped Fu Rongrong's hand.

"It's my fault, don't be sad."

Fu Rongrong sobbed and wiped away her tears.

"I understand your concerns. This time, my brother went too far. He actually sent people to attack your people. How could he be so ruthless!"

Lin Qingran gently patted Fu Rongrong's back to comfort her.

"There's no concrete evidence yet to prove it was your older brother who did it. Let's wait for the police investigation results. But whoever it is, I won't let them get away with it if they dare to hurt the people around me."

At this time, in the hospital, Su Mian had regained consciousness after receiving treatment.

She lay in her hospital bed, her face still somewhat pale, but she immediately accepted the police investigation.

After everyone had left, Su Mian lay wearily on the bed and closed her eyes.

Xiao Zhou stood by the bedside, his face full of worry.

"President Su, please get some rest and don't overwork yourself."

Su Mian frowned slightly, "I'm fine, just some superficial injuries, nothing serious."

If they are defeated like this, then the next target will be their entire Sheng Hai Group.

She wanted to see who dared to pull such a dirty trick behind her back.

At that moment, Lin Qingran arrived.

She was accompanied by Fu Rongrong, whom Su Mian had heard Lin Qingran mention before, and she also knew that Fu Rongrong was coming today.

So, since she wasn't familiar with Fu Rongrong, and considering that her injury today was likely caused by Fu Xiuheng, and that Fu Rongrong was a relative of theirs, Su Mian was quite angry.

Lin Qingran sighed and urged Fu Rongrong to leave first.

Xiao Zhou then stood up, turned around, and left.

Lin Qingran stepped forward and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"Mianmian, are you alright?"

"It's a minor issue. Luckily, I've practiced before," Su Mian said with a forced smile.

Lin Qingran felt very sorry for Su Mian and held her hand.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know that after you said those things, he would retaliate against you."

Su Mian patted Lin Qingran's hand, "It's okay, bumps and bruises are normal, it's not like I just found out what kind of person he is. But are you sure it was Fu Xiuheng who did it?"

Lin Qingran nodded somewhat heavily, "I can't say it in front of Fu Rongrong, but it's most likely him."

Su Mian angrily slammed her fist on the bed. "He's really disgusting."

Lin Qingran gave a cold laugh, "No matter who it is, if they hurt you, I will never let them get away with it."

By evening, the gang of thugs who had harmed Su Mian were caught.

The investigation results were entirely unsurprising; the gang of thugs only admitted that they wanted to rob some money and did not admit whether they were acting under orders.

But they were organized and premeditated; they had clearly been staking out Su Mian's way to work. No one would believe what they said.

After learning the news, Lin Qingran called Wen Qingyu.

Wen Qingyu had been keeping a close eye on Zhao Quanying's movements. She was certain that Zhao Quanying hadn't made any moves recently, and the Lin family was extremely arrogant.

Having ruled out all the suspicious individuals, that leaves only Fu Xiuheng.

The only thing that comforts her now is that everything at the Jiang family manor is normal, everyone is safe and sound, and nothing has happened.

In this way, Lin Qingran can also fight back without restraint.

Bo Ye stayed with Lin Qingran in the study until midnight. Seeing that he was typing away at the computer without saying a word, Bo Ye was extremely worried.

"Sister, go back and rest," Bo Ye advised.

"You're too tired. Your body won't be able to take it if you keep going like this."

Lin Qingran kept working, "It'll be quick."

Another half hour passed before Lin Qingran took off her goggles and turned to look at Bo Ye.

"come and see."

Bo Ye stepped forward, only to find the trending topics list of a certain news app displayed on the computer screen.

The Fu Group's involvement in the murders has now topped the list.

Bo Ye gasped, "Sister, even the police don't have any evidence to prove that Fu Xiuheng did it. Won't your rash move anger Fu Xiuheng?"

Lin Qingran sneered, "He will naturally be angry, but as long as it achieves the desired effect, I'm willing to take the risk."

He randomly turned to look at Susukino and gave him a meaningful smile.

“I’ve been married to Fu Xiuheng for five years, and although he’s domineering and likes to use some thuggish methods, I’ve never seen him do anything illegal. Tell me, who likes to use those kinds of methods the most?”

Susukino frowned and almost subconsciously uttered the name.

"Shen Pei'an."

When it comes to doing these things, Shen Pei-an is the most professional.

Not to mention, Fu Xiuheng was Shen Pei'an's son-in-law twice.

As they expected, the Lin family was now in complete chaos.

Shen Pei'an had just learned about the Fu Group when he received a call from Fu Xiuheng.

"Father-in-law, your son-in-law is in trouble right now. Aren't you going to lend a hand?" Fu Xiuheng's cold voice came from the other end of the line.

Shen Pei'an never expected that Fu Xiuheng would ask him for help.

To my surprise, he showed no attitude of asking for help at all, but instead acted superior.

A surge of anger welled up inside her. "Fu Xiuheng, don't go too far! It's your Fu Group that's caused trouble outside! I don't care whether you instructed others to do these things or not, but now your entire Fu Group is being affected. Our family married our daughter to you, and we're already being lenient by not holding you accountable. How dare you ask me for help?"

Originally, Shen Pei'an didn't care about these things at all, after all, in his opinion, fighting was commonplace.

Not to mention that there are always some dirty tricks involved in business competition.
