I watched as Fu Xinyi swaggered out of the police station, and a lump formed in my throat, as if I had been punched hard, feeling both swollen and painful.

When he met my gaze, he smiled at me, and then walked up to me with his lawyer. "Aren't you surprised? The police said that because of insufficient evidence, I can be released on bail."

After saying that, he lowered his voice, leaned close to my ear, and said provocatively, "Wanwan, you really have a cruel heart. You actually want to kill me. Too bad, I'm not the poor boy I used to be."

"You were the one who told me that when a person has strong capital, everything they do will go smoothly."

Hearing his words, I couldn't help but clench my fists, even though I was extremely angry and had to restrain myself in front of everyone.

“You know perfectly well what you’ve done. You may be able to escape for a while, but I don’t believe you can escape forever. Besides, you’ve only been released on bail.”

When he looked at me, his eyes flickered slightly, a smile playing on his lips. Just as he was about to say something, Ge Zeyu stepped forward and stood between us.

He shoved Fu Xinyi aside without any politeness and said in a commanding tone, "Stay away from her!"

"Ge Zeyu, you're being far too nosy. Do I need your permission to talk to my fiancée?" Fu Xinyi's smile gradually faded, and her eyes gleamed with a sinister light as she looked at Ge Zeyu.

After hearing his words, I couldn't help but retort, "I have nothing to do with you, and I will not be your fiancée. I already told everyone at the banquet just now."

After I finished speaking, Fu Xinyi immediately laughed, as if she had heard a funny joke. After laughing enough, she said, "Wanwan, the marriage between our two families is not something you can decide on your own. I'm afraid your father won't agree."

"The more you try to avoid getting involved with me, the more I'll make you miserable. You'll have an illegitimate daughter's older sister, and your children will have an illegitimate son's older brother in the future."

The curve of his lips grew increasingly malicious, and he made no attempt to conceal his malice towards me.

Ge Zeyu stepped forward and grabbed his collar, "If you dare say another word..."

Before Ge Zeyu could finish speaking, Fu Xinyi interrupted him provocatively, "Even if I tell you, what can you do? Are you going to beat me to death? Don't forget this is in front of the police station. If you lay a hand on me, your Ge family will completely lose face."

I frowned deeply; Fu Xinyi's words were not unfounded.

We were being pestered by Zhang Mei inside, and she was afraid of what people would say. Otherwise, she would have just done the autopsy under pressure.

Because of Uncle Ge's special status, we have many concerns when doing many things.

I stepped forward and grabbed Ge Zeyu's arm, shaking it slightly. "Calm down. There are too many people here. The news we've already made today is big enough. If you hit someone and it gets on camera, it will be hard to explain later."

Ge Zeyu glared at Fu Xinyi for a few seconds, then suddenly a smile appeared on his lips, and he released Fu Xinyi's collar.

Fu Xinyi's smile grew even more arrogant, and his words were incredibly provocative, "So that fearless Young Master Ge is gone now? Turns out there are times when you don't dare to make a move. Before, you relied on your status to get the teachers to favor you and your classmates to stand on your side, but you don't have that kind of preferential treatment now."

Hearing these harsh words, I was about to tell Fu Xinyi to shut up, but before I could even say anything, he was kicked and staggered back a few steps.

Immediately afterwards, Ge Zeyu's voice rang out, "I never intended to let you off the hook. As for what others think, do you think I'm afraid?"

Fu Xinyi was momentarily stunned. Ge Zeyu grabbed my arm and arrogantly said to Fu Xinyi, "Do you think that just because I dared to hit you when you had no background, I wouldn't dare to hit you now that you have one? I hit you purely because—you deserved it!"

He walked up to Fu Xinyi and said in a warning tone, "I know you've been behind all the troubles in our family these past few days. Feel free to use any more tricks you have, but don't bother Wanwan anymore, or I'll beat you every time I see you."

I was afraid that the two of us would clash, mainly because I was worried that Ge Zeyu might suffer in this matter, so I quickly pulled Ge Zeyu into the car.

After we got in the car, I couldn't help but say, "You acted too impulsively just now. What if the other party took photos and left evidence? It wouldn't be good for your reputation or Uncle Ge's reputation."

Ge Zeyu remained silent with a sullen face, then turned his head to the side, looking at the scenery outside the window. Seeing his unhappy expression, I hesitated for a moment and softened my tone.

“I know you did this to intimidate him, and it’s all for my sake, but isn’t this a special time? Chang Xin is eyeing Uncle Ge’s position with bated breath, and he’s been wanting to find a way to kick Uncle Ge out of the game. We naturally have to be careful in what we do.”

"It's because you worry about too much that he can manipulate you!" A hint of displeasure flashed in Ge Zeyu's eyes. "Although you already mentioned wanting to break off the engagement at the banquet, your father did not agree. If your father threatens you with the Jiang family's shares, are you planning to continue to play along with him?"

Ge Zeyu's tone grew increasingly urgent as he spoke. He grabbed my arm and asked accusingly, "You don't still like him, do you? You used to be head over heels in love with him. You chased after him even before he had any status. Now that he's finally changed his mind about you, are you feeling something for him too?"

Ge Zeyu's question ignited a fire in my heart. I had already said that I no longer liked Fu Xinyi. Could it be that I was so untrustworthy in his heart?

Even if I did a lot of ridiculous things in the past, that was a long time ago. The more I thought about it, the angrier I got, and I couldn't help but say something in a fit of pique, "Why don't you say that he and I had planned this all along, and that I was also involved in your family's recent crises?"

Ge Zeyu paused slightly when he heard my words. Seeing his expression, I couldn't help but shake off his hand. "Ge Zeyu, you don't really think that way, do you?"

Seeing that he paused for a second or two without answering, I immediately told Xu Qing to stop the car. If it were someone else who didn't believe me, I wouldn't care, but the thought that Ge Zeyu didn't believe me made me feel terrible.

As soon as the car came to a stop, I prepared to get out. I had just stepped out with one foot when Ge Zeyu reached out, wrapped his arms around my waist, and pulled me back.
