The door to my room wasn't opened; thankfully, I remembered to lock it from the inside.

However, Fu Xinyi did not open the door, and her emotions became even more volatile.

"Are you coming out or not? I don't have time to play these games with you. I'm only giving you one minute."

After he finished speaking, he started counting off. When he got to three, his phone suddenly rang.

The person on the other end of the phone seemed to say something to him, and he became somewhat out of control.

"Do I need to teach you how to handle this? I gave you so much money, not for you to take it for nothing. Hurry up and resolve this matter. I don't want to see him here."

After I hung up the phone, his gloomy voice rang out again outside the door, but this time it was clearly directed at me, "So that's why you suddenly changed your mind. Someone said something to you. Was it Ge Zeyu who said it?"

"I really didn't expect that even though you rejected Ge Zeyu to this extent, even making him lose face in public, he would still investigate me for your sake."

Hearing him say that, I immediately had a bad feeling. Coupled with his outburst just now, could it be that he already knew what Ge Zeyu had investigated?

“Fu Xinyi, anyone with eyes can see that my engagement to you is not something I wanted at all.” I said bluntly, and provoked him to stall for time. “My eyes are not blind, why would I fall for someone as shameless and despicable as you?”

I know that even though Fu Xinyi now has the identity of the heir of the Fu family, the inferiority complex hidden in his bones for many years has not disappeared.

However, given his current status and position, his personality has become both insecure and arrogant.

His long-standing resentment stemmed from the belief that I didn't want to be with him anymore because I looked down on his status. So when I said those words, he became even angrier.

He twisted the doorknob until it clicked, and when he couldn't open it, he turned around and roared, telling the servant to bring the key immediately.

After the servants left, his voice, like that of a venomous snake, came through the door, "Do you think Ge Zeyu can make it to the scene? I advise you not to waste your time; he can't make it today."

My heart skipped a beat, and I quickly went over to ask, "What do you mean by that? Are you trying to scare me? He's the mayor's son, after all."

Even though he now has leverage over the Ge family, dealing with Ge Zeyu will not be an easy task for him.

Fu Xinyi, standing outside the door, immediately laughed. He told me that sometimes, to deal with someone, there are not only legitimate methods but also some underhanded ones, and he happened to know a lot about them.

For a moment, I panicked and sent another message to Ge Zeyu, but there was still no response.

I couldn't resist calling him, but no one answered the phone.

Now I was completely panicked, and I couldn't help but question him about what he had done to Ge Zeyu.

Fu Xinyi remained calm, her voice tinged with a hint of madness, "If you two want to go against me, then let's see who's more willing to go all out!"

"Aren't you waiting for Ge Zeyu to come? Do you want to know where he is now and what happened to him? If you do, you'd better come out and complete this engagement with me."

I gritted my teeth, a multitude of thoughts swirling in my mind. My fingers rested on the doorknob, and I finally decided to go out and complete the engagement ceremony with him.

Before I could even open the door, the maid had already brought the key. Fu Xinyi opened the door and grabbed my arm. He stared at me with bloodshot eyes, as if he were eyeing his possession.

"Come down with me now. It's best not to cause any more trouble, or I can't guarantee Ge Zeyu will still be alive. Is he unreachable by phone or not replying to messages?"

His words made my heart sink deeper and deeper, and in the end I could only reluctantly follow him downstairs. I didn't smile once the whole time, but when Fu Xinyi came downstairs, a smile gradually appeared on his face.

He acted as if he were really getting engaged, introducing me to the guests and business partners present, and finally leading me to an elder.

The other party claimed to be Fu Xinyi's second uncle, saying that Fu Xinyi's father had some important matters to attend to and therefore could not come.

As if oblivious to my somber expression, the other person handed me a set of jewelry after finishing their conversation, saying it was to congratulate me on my engagement.

The businessmen present were all very obsequious to this second uncle, but he left after saying a few words. I followed Fu Xinyi absentmindedly, waiting for the banquet to end.

After the last guest left, I could no longer restrain myself and flung his hand away.

My dad was walking this way, seemingly wanting to say something to me. But when he saw my actions, he stopped and adopted the demeanor of an elder, speaking in a lecturing tone, "Wanwan, Young Master Fu is already your fiancé. You two need to get along well and develop feelings for each other as soon as possible. Young Master Fu said he plans to get married before the end of the year, so don't act like a child anymore."

I ignored those words and directly questioned Fu Xinyi: Where is Ge Zeyu right now? What happened to him?

After I finished speaking, I saw his smile become even more pronounced, as if he had heard something funny. When I met his eyes, my heart started beating faster involuntarily.

Sensing something was wrong, I turned to look at my dad and found that his expression was also very subtle, as if they all knew something, but I was the only one who didn't.

"What on earth happened!" I gripped Fu Xinyi's sleeve tightly, still clinging to a sliver of hope. "Where is Ge Zeyu?"

As soon as I finished asking, my dad spoke up from the side, "I didn't want to tell you, but since you asked, there's no harm in telling you now. That kid from the Ge family went out racing today and had an accident. His car fell off a cliff and they still haven't found him."

My dad's words made my mind explode, and I instinctively retorted, "That's impossible. Why would he suddenly speed?"

After I finished speaking, I quickly realized that among all the people present, the only one who could possibly be manipulating this matter was Fu Xinyi. I looked up and met his eyes, a murderous intent rising in my heart. I grabbed the fruit knife from the coffee table next to me and pointed it at his neck.
