The people who had been discussing the matter fell silent instantly, as if they had become mute, their faces turning pale and then red.

A hint of panic flashed in Fu Xinyi's eyes as she looked at Old Master Fu for help.

Fu Shaozheng remained calm and composed. After all, he was the head of a family and had seen all kinds of storms. Even though Ge Zeyu had started to produce evidence, he only glanced at Fu Xinyi before looking away.

Just as he was about to say something, the banquet hall doors opened again, and several police officers walked in politely. "Mr. Fu, we have received a report with real names, alleging that Young Master Fu hired someone to commit murder. The evidence has been submitted, and we now need to take Young Master Fu back for questioning."

Although the police officers were polite, they were also very serious. Fu Xinyi's panic became more and more obvious. "What nonsense are you talking about? How could I hire someone to kill someone? This is obviously a frame-up. The words of those shady characters are not credible at all."

I noticed the flaw in his statement and immediately questioned him, "How do you know? Is the person who accused you some kind of scoundrel?"

My words silenced him instantly. I sneered and said on the spot that if Fu Xinyi was truly innocent in this matter, he should be calm and composed, but now he was very flustered, which clearly meant he had something to hide.

Grandpa Fu's face was now quite dark. He didn't speak to me directly, but looked at my father, gave him a look, and then sneered.

My dad immediately grabbed me from the side and pulled me aside, lowering his voice, "How long are you going to make a scene? If you keep this up, the whole company will be ruined because of you. We're working with the Fu family on a project in the west of the city. If it fails, we'll have nothing left."

"Cooperation is cooperation, and crime is crime. These two things should not be confused!" If the project in the west of the city can get Fu Xinyi into jail, then I don't mind sacrificing the project in the west of the city.

Compared to a venomous snake that's always watching you from behind, making money doesn't seem so urgent.

Grandpa Fu slowly got up. Due to his illness, he had difficulty walking and was slower than others. He came to Fu Xinyi, put his hand on his shoulder, and said in a calm tone.

“You are my only son now, and the hopes of the entire family rest on your shoulders. You don’t need to be nervous. Just cooperate with the police investigation. If you did this, you will take responsibility. If you didn’t do this, I believe you will be out soon.”

"As for those who framed you behind your back and couldn't stand to see the Fu family doing well, Dad remembers them all."

Fu Shaozheng's words were like a reassurance to Fu Xinyi, who instantly calmed down, nodded, and indicated that he was willing to go back with the police and cooperate with the investigation.

I couldn't help but frown, feeling that there was something more to what he had just said. I turned to look at Ge Zeyu, who nodded at me and gave me a firm look.

My heart instantly relaxed again. I was also relieved that the murderers had all been caught. Since they were willing to tell the truth, they shouldn't easily change their stories. It wouldn't be so easy for Fu Xinyi to get away. No matter how rich he was, he couldn't possibly bribe everyone.

Because Fu Xinyi was taken away, Fu Shaozheng said on the spot that he was no longer in the mood to continue the banquet and asked everyone to leave temporarily.

As he turned to go upstairs, he paused slightly as he passed by me and Ge Zeyu, casting a meaningful glance at Ge Zeyu. "Young Master Ge is just like your father."

These words didn't sound like a compliment, nor did they seem to imply anything; rather, they sounded like an unfinished sentence.

I followed Ge Zeyu outside. Bian Jiahui, who had been left standing to the side, finally realized what was happening and rushed over to grab my arm, but Ge Zeyu blocked her.

"What do you want to do?" Ge Zeyu narrowed his eyes slightly, warily telling her to keep her distance.

Bian Jiahui gritted her teeth and glared at me angrily. "You've been using me from the very beginning. You clearly said you would make me the daughter-in-law of the Fu family, but now Fu Xinyi has been arrested. You have to save him."

I don't know where she got her confidence from. After betraying me, she actually thought I would save Fu Xinyi, even though we were mortal enemies to begin with.

The reason I was willing to cooperate with her briefly was only to achieve the goal of breaking off the engagement, but she turned around and accused me on the spot at the banquet.

I grabbed Ge Zeyu's arm and made him move aside. Then I walked up to Bian Jiahui and said sarcastically, "What are you panicking about? You should thank me! Fu Xinyi denies having a child with you, but he's been arrested. If he's sentenced, the child in your belly will be the future heir of the Fu family. Old Master Fu might even send someone to take you back."

Bian Jiahui's face turned pale and then red, and she said in a sharp, broken voice, "But I wanted to marry Fu Xinyi. It's all your fault. If you hadn't used me, things wouldn't have turned out like this."

I didn't want to continue her madness, so I just sneered and told her to cherish the baby in her belly, since it was her only bargaining chip. If she lost that baby, she would never be able to rise to the top.

Fu Xinyi has been arrested, and I can finally feel at ease. On the way, Ge Zeyu told me that his father would be personally overseeing this matter.

This time, Fu Xinyi will not be able to get away with it. Even if the Fu family is rich enough to bribe anyone, they will never be able to bribe Uncle Ge.

Previously, Fu Xinyi was able to undergo plastic surgery and use another identity to emerge, so I don't believe that the Fu family can still have such great power this time.

Xu Qing rode in the same car with us. On the way, he received a phone call. The person on the other end of the line said that the Fu family was indeed selling land in the west of the city, but not in their own name. Instead, it was being sold under the name of a partner.

Xu Qing's subordinate called to ask if he wanted to acquire the land in the west of the city. After all, due to the project, land in the west of the city has been very sought after recently, and you need not only money but also connections to acquire it.

Upon hearing this, Xu Qing discussed with Ge Zeyu whether or not to buy the land. After all, this land was a goldmine, and its value could multiply several times in a few months. Even if they didn't do any projects with it, reselling it to someone else would be profitable.

Just as Ge Zeyu was about to make a decision, his phone suddenly rang. He didn't know what the person on the other end said, but he exclaimed in astonishment, "What? Dead!"
