Chapter 528: Reap What You Sow (26)
"I didn’t... I didn’t!" Mrs. Chen’s face went completely pale, and when she raised her eyes, she met Fu Nancheng’s deep gaze, causing a shiver in her heart."You knew all along, didn’t you?"
Fu Nancheng merely curled his lips slightly, remaining silent.
Mrs. Chen let out a self-mocking laugh, "Hehe... How befitting of Fu Nancheng! Really makes me feel unworthy!"
Fu Nancheng spoke indifferently, "You’re too kind."
Two policemen were escorting Mrs. Chen, while another officer stepped forward and looked towards Chen Shiqing, "May I ask if you are Miss Chen Shiqing?"
Chen Shiqing looked at the two in a daze.
"You are suspected of intentional injury, please come with us."
"You’re talking nonsense! Shi Qing did nothing! It was all my doing!" Mrs. Chen became agitated, fearing this action by the police would further upset the already troubled Chen Shiqing.
Chen Shiqing snapped back to reality, "What intentional injury... what injury? I’m the victim, alright! I’m the victim!"
The officer spoke again, "We just received a report that you attacked Mr. Fu with a vase, is that true?"
"I... I..." Chen Shiqing couldn’t speak for a moment, as the shattered vase pieces on the ground seemed to testify against her without a word needed.
The police asked someone to take her to a room to get dressed, then took her away.
The leading officer approached Fu Nancheng and said, "Mr. Fu, we’ll be taking off."
Fu Nancheng nodded slightly, "Alright, I’ll come to the station later to provide a statement."
The officer appeared enthusiastic, seeming not to expect Fu Nancheng to give him such face, his face full of smiles.
As Mrs. Chen and Chen Shiqing were taken away, the scene became lively.
"Now I see what’s happening, turns out Mrs. Chen’s plan backfired and ended up harming her own daughter."
"Never would have thought she’d resort to such despicable means to make her daughter the Fu family’s daughter-in-law."
"Poor Chen Shiqing got harmed by her own mother, she must feel really bad inside."
"But with this, does it mean Mr. Fu’s marriage is off? Does that mean we still have a chance?"
...
All in all, the scene was extremely lively. People were saying all sorts of things.
A trace of fatigue flickered in the old Mr. Fu’s eyes, it seemed he had grown old...
Watching the commotion from the side, a calculating glint flashed through Fu Zhiyuan’s eyes.
The Chen family was thoroughly played by Fu Nancheng this time, but it’s unsure if this scandal will affect them afterwards. Seems he might need to pause his attempts to ally with the Chen family for now.
Old Mr. Fu said a few words of apology, then left due to being unwell.
The banquet was left for Fu Nancheng to host.
After the crowd dispersed, Fu Nancheng’s gaze fell on Mr. Chen who left in haste, turned around, and called Zhuo Lin in the corner, "Start offloading Chen family’s stocks now, prepare to close the net."
"Yes, President."
Fu Nancheng hung up the phone, a shadowy look flashed in his eyes.
He wanted to see what kind of comeback the Chen family could manage after such a scandal.
...
As expected, starting that day, the Chen family’s stock prices began to plummet.
Everywhere, newspapers were reporting this scandal involving the Chen family. Along with it, many of the Chen family’s private matters and old accounts were dug up, public opinion mounting, causing the Chen family’s assets to hemorrhage losses.
