Meanwhile, in Fu Qianchen's office.
He was looking down at the documents in his hand, his brows knitted tightly and his expression extremely solemn.
"Boss, we've kicked out that person from the Fu family," He Xi immediately reported the situation to Fu Qianchen.
"Good," Fu Qianchen replied.
But he still kept his head down, looking at the documents in his hand, showing no sign of looking up at them.
He Xi didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, he said excitedly, "Boss, you don't know what happened in the VIP room just now. That person from the Fu family even had the audacity to say that they would spend two hundred million to buy our Hailan!"
He paused for a moment. "Guess what we did? I mocked him right away, and then Lao Zhao just threw him out of Hailan! He really got a taste of his own medicine from me."
Lao Zhao gave He Xi a meaningful look and added, "But we've already proposed to them, as per the boss's instructions, that they should spend five hundred million to acquire Hailan."
Right, right. Lao Zhao was really in sync with him and knew exactly what to add to the report.
He Xi said to himself, "This Fu family deserves to end up like this! If they hadn't stabbed Sister - in - law in the back, they could have dragged on for another year. But now, in just three months, they're falling apart. It's really satisfying!"
Hearing the words "Sister - in - law", the chill emanating from Fu Qianchen grew stronger, and his hand stopped moving.
Lao Zhao immediately grabbed He Xi's collar and pulled him out. "Boss, we have other tasks to complete. We won't disturb your work."
"Hey, Lao Zhao, what's wrong with you? I haven't finished my report yet," He Xi didn't even react before he was dragged away by Lao Zhao.
Lao Zhao glanced at the disgruntled He Xi from the corner of his eye and a faint smile curved his lips.
"Come on, He Xi didn't do it on purpose," Bai Shaoting walked into the office, smiling wryly as he spoke up for He Xi.
Fu Qianchen snorted disdainfully.
Mu Li walked into the office seriously, following Bai Shaoting.
He locked the door directly and looked at Fu Qianchen seriously. "Chen, the situation in the imperial capital is starting to get turbulent now. Everything is just as you predicted. Those who were just watching from the sidelines have all jumped out and are getting restless."
Bai Shaoting echoed, "Moreover, the old king of the Gu family in the imperial capital is seriously ill. Even Lord Qiu rushed there overnight. If the old king of the Gu family falls, there will surely be a bloodbath in the imperial capital."
He paused for a moment and then continued, "However, the old king's only precious granddaughter hasn't been found yet. He must be unwilling to just fall from power like this. With Lord Qiu's ability, it shouldn't be a problem for the old king to hold on for a while longer."
Mu Li nodded in agreement. "The other families, no matter how restless they are, will still take the old king's influence into account. But the old king is in the intensive care unit, and his life is uncertain. Even with Lord Qiu's support, we don't know what will happen. I'm worried..."
Mu Li looked at Fu Qianchen.
Fu Qianchen's influence in the imperial capital was relatively weak. He was worried that they would target him.
In the battle for power among the major influential families, they were bound to use Fu Qianchen's power in the imperial capital, the Qiu - Fu forces, to start the war.
Fu Qianchen's black eyes were deep, and the aura around him turned even colder. Naturally, he had also thought of what they were thinking.
Mu Li patted his shoulder and comforted him, "No matter how the situation changes, as long as I'm still in this world, I'll always fight side by side with you."
"Hey, don't forget about me!"
Bai Shaoting immediately ran in front of Fu Qianchen, patted his right shoulder, and said seriously with a raised lip, "As long as I still have a breath left, I'll surely fight side by side with Third Brother!"
A look of relief flashed across Fu Qianchen's face.
What worried him the most now wasn't these two brothers, but... Feng Yu.
He could leave at any time and could act recklessly... but he just couldn't bear to part with her.
"Chen, if there's any situation over there, I'll go and keep an eye on it first. If those people really decide to take action, your Imperial Capital Building will be the first target! Before you return to the Imperial Capital Building again, I'll surely guard it for you."
"Okay."
Fu Qianchen clenched his fists.
It seemed that he couldn't delay this battle any longer. He had to speed up.
Completely different from the tense and solemn atmosphere here, on the other side, Feng Yu was facing the biggest problem in her life, and there was no other that could compare.
Ever since Mrs. Fu sent Xu Tong to protect her, Xu Tong had been following her 24/7, almost never leaving her side.
Feng Yu was extremely frustrated.
Even a robot needed to be recharged and rest in time. Didn't Xu Tong need to rest? Xu Tong had only been following her for a week, and she already felt it was so difficult. What was she going to do in the days to come?
Forget it. If you can't endure the small things, you'll make a mess of the big ones!
Feng Yu came to the film set to shoot as usual.
"Scene 28, Take 1, Action!" Director Yang shouted loudly.
Feng Yu handed the autopsy report to Lu Zhiqian and said coldly, "Apart from the victim's very unique wounds, there's nothing else strange."
Lu Zhiqian opened the autopsy report and said seriously, "The fact that there's nothing strange is the strangest thing."
She glanced at Lu Zhiqian and then put her hands in her pockets. "Okay, I'll conduct another autopsy."
"Cut -" Yang Mulin said happily, "Pass, pass. You can take a break first."
Lu Zhiqian casually picked up a bottle of water from the set and handed it to Feng Yu, saying indifferently, "Miss Feng, have some water."
"Thank you," Feng Yu took the water from Lu Zhiqian's hand. Just as she was about to unscrew the cap and drink, Xu Tong snatched the water from her hand.
"The water from the movie king Lu won't be dangerous," Feng Yu tried to defend herself to Xu Tong.
"The old madam has instructed that we should never accept anything from outsiders."
Xu Tong remained unmoved. Right in front of Lu Zhiqian, she threw the mineral water that Lu Zhiqian had given Feng Yu into the trash can and then took a new bottle of mineral water for her.
"Movie king Lu, my grandma is just overly concerned. She doesn't mean any harm. Please don't take it to heart," Feng Yu said embarrassedly, looking at Lu Zhiqian with a look of guilt in her eyes.
"It's okay."
Lu Zhiqian's tone was calm, but when he raised his eyes, his deep, unfathomable eyes were filled with a hint of coldness.
He seemed so calm, yet it made people shiver.
This look... it was as if he was looking at a dead person.
Xu Tong felt that she had never been this scared even when she was undergoing real - life combat training in the tropical rainforest. But looking at the man in front of her, she subconsciously took a step back out of fear.
Lu Zhiqian slightly curled his lips, looking indifferent and calm. Then he withdrew his gaze.
Only then did Xu Tong realize that she had been so intimidated that she was sweating.
She had never panicked even when a knife was held to her neck. How could she be afraid of an actor?
She looked at the man following Feng Yu several times in a row, and for a moment, she couldn't figure him out.
"We still have to wait for a while since they're shooting other people's scenes now," Lu Zhiqian sat next to Feng Yu, looked at her, and asked casually, "Now that you're a popular A - list actress, and your popularity has already exceeded that of your sister, Feng Yaying. How does it feel?"
