After Prison, She Shocks the World-Chapter 89: Find a Way to Smear Fu Bing

"This series of maneuvers is too seamless, too similar to your methods."

Gu Yazheng isn’t brainless; it’s just that in his mind, no one is more vicious than Ren Ye.

After all, he’s the richest man, and no one dares to provoke him so openly.

"I’m also investigating," Ren Ye said, pointing to the breakfast in front of him. "Do you want to eat?"

"You think I still have an appetite right now?"

Ren Ye ignored him and started eating.

Gu Yazheng glared at the top of Ren Ye’s head and found a place to sit.

Once Ren Ye had leisurely finished his breakfast, he finally spoke. "Can’t you use your head for a moment? You just kidnapped Ren Shu’s younger brother-in-law and then ran to my office. What do you expect others to think? Are you deliberately trying to create a rift between me and Ren Zhi?"

Ren Ye had guessed his intentions, and Gu Yazheng didn’t deny it.

"This matter has blown up so much; only you can smooth things over."

"If I smooth it over, what’s in it for me?"

"I’m the victim in this! And you still want something out of it?"

Ren Ye propped his chin, a cunning look on his face as he regarded Gu Yazheng. "Without any benefits, not only will I not intervene, but I’ll also muddy the waters even further. By then, who’s right or wrong will have nothing to do with me. I just need to profit from this situation."

Gu Yazheng gritted his teeth. "What do you want?"

"Pressure Gu Si’an. Don’t let him bail out Fu Ning!"

"Ren Ye, you’re too ruthless! You’re just jealous that I have a wife, a son, and a daughter!"

"That’s right. I’m also jealous of your ’chaotic but happy’ daily life." Ren Ye stood up, looking down at Gu Yazheng. "You should be glad I’ve waited this long to make a move against Fu Ning. Next up is the Fu Family. You’d better stay out of it. Otherwise, if the Gu Family falls and goes bankrupt, you’ll only have yourself to blame."

"What’s the use of doing all this? Fu Ya is already dead. She can’t see any of it. What’s the point of you working so hard to please her daughter?"

Gu Yazheng couldn’t comprehend Ren Ye’s reasoning.

Suddenly, his expression changed.

"Bah! You disrespectful old goat! Have you taken a liking to Fu Bing? She’s young enough to be your daughter, and yet you..."

「Outside.」

Ren Shu and Jiang Linshan exchanged glances upon hearing this.

Sure enough, Ren Ye was just an old man preying on a young woman.

The two left quietly.

「Back in Ren Shu’s office.」

Jiang Linshan said, "He’s willing to do anything for Fu Bing. He just gave her two villas, and now he’s clearly siding with an outsider. If Fu Bing has his child in the future, the entire Ren Family fortune will be hers. Husband, you need to come up with a plan."

"Gu Yazheng coming to find Second Brother means Xiaoyuan isn’t in mortal danger. After they talk, Second Brother will ensure he comes back. Tell your parents not to worry."

"And Fu Bing? We need to find a way to get rid of her."

"That’s easy. We’ll expose all her scandals online, let everyone see her true colors, and crush her with public opinion." freёwebnoѵel.com

Jiang Linshan nodded in satisfaction. "Husband, you’re so clever."

Ren Shu basked in the praise, feeling extremely pleased.

「Inside Ren Ye’s office.」

"Keep talking nonsense and I’ll smack you!" Ren Ye interrupted Gu Yazheng.

Gu Yazheng also felt it was unlikely. He’d known Ren Ye since childhood; Ren Ye wasn’t the type to be involved in such things.

"I can stay out of the Fu Family’s and Fu Ning’s affairs. This problem is yours to fix."

"Deal."

Gu Yazheng breathed a sigh of relief. "Is all this really worth it?"

"You wouldn’t understand even if I explained. I’ll give you one last piece of advice: if you don’t know what to do, listen to Gu Si’an. His brain works much better than yours. With him around, the Gu Family won’t collapse. Your brain is useless for this lifetime; don’t push yourself. Being a fool suits you quite well."

Gu Yazheng was annoyed, but he couldn’t very well lose his temper in front of Ren Ye.

He returned to his car and stared wearily out the window.

Was he really a joke in others’ eyes?

He had grown up with Fu Ya and Ren Ye. They were always so smart. When he was with them, he would just listen quietly because he could never get a word in.

Yet, he still wanted to be with them. They didn’t exclude him or look down on him.

Even though Ren Ye came to dislike him later, he knew Ren Ye wouldn’t abandon him if he were truly in trouble.

Gu Yazheng felt mentally exhausted, yet he had no power to change anything.

Ren Shu instructed his subordinates to write an exposé on Ren Ye and Fu Bing’s relationship, planning to publish it online once finished to ruin their reputations.

As soon as Ren Shu left, the subordinate nervously reported the matter to Ren Ye.

Ren Ye was so infuriated by these idiots that he couldn’t even be bothered to curse them out.

Some people seemed to have nothing on their minds but illicit affairs.

Ren Ye called Gu Yazheng. "Release Jiang Linyuan."

"I already released him."

"Where did you release him?"

"Northwest Alley. Where we used to skip class as kids."

"Excellent." Ren Ye then called his bodyguard. "Beat Jiang Linyuan to within an inch of his life. Just make sure he’s barely breathing!"

"Yes, sir."

Ren Ye tossed his phone aside and had the driver take him to Fu Bing’s villa.

Fu Bing was sitting in the garden watching the koi. When she saw Ren Ye approaching, she greeted him.

"What brings you here today?"

"I’m hosting a dinner at my hotel tonight for the contestants from the competition. You know them too, so come join us."

The thought of seeing Qin Jinhai made Fu Bing’s nerves instantly tighten. "I’m sorry, I don’t really want to go."

"Can you tell me why?"

"It’s not convenient for me to say right now."

"Unless it’s a particularly difficult hurdle to overcome, I truly hope you can make it. Since you’ve chosen to create a TCM platform, you need to build good relationships with these people. They will be a huge asset to you in the future."

Fu Bing knew in her heart that Ren Ye wouldn’t be hosting them if it weren’t for her.

She asked in a low voice, "Uncle Ren, is it worth it for you to take care of me for my mother’s sake? She’s already gone."

"In my entire business career, my strategies have rarely failed; I’ve made all the money I ever wanted. Your mother was perhaps my only ’failure.’ Maybe I’m just trying to prove to everyone that her choice back then was wrong," Ren Ye said, his tone light and indifferent.

Fu Bing didn’t believe him. "Your expression doesn’t match your words. You’re lying."

"Ah, I’d forgotten you’re an excellent actress. The truth is, I did have deep feelings for your mother, but it wasn’t just romantic love; it was also friendship and familial affection. She’s gone, but her daughter is still here, and I’ll help out wherever I can. Besides, the houses and connections I’ve given you are things I already possessed. I own hundreds of villas; gifting you two is nothing to me. Hosting dinner for your fellow contestants is merely sending out an invitation to a hotel I own, for food served at my hotel. It costs me very little, yet maintaining a good relationship with you will bring me significant returns. Why wouldn’t I do it?"

Ren Ye said this quite frankly.

Fu Bing nodded. "That explanation is easier for me to accept."

"What an unspoilable silly girl." Ren Ye chuckled and patted her head. "Just like your mother. No matter how much you gave her, she was never swayed by material things."

"I’ve spent time with both you and Gu Yazheng, and I still can’t quite understand why Mother chose Gu Yazheng back then."
