A secret tryst? Her brotherly love triangle backfired.

Chapter 103 Did I say I wanted your sincerity?

"Don't worry,"

Seeing her looking worried, Jiang Yanzhi said, "When we took her home, we probably had dinner together. It's not what you think."

Tang Wanwan looked up at him: "What do you mean?"

"..." Jiang Yan choked, rubbing his forehead in exasperation, "I was wrong, I shouldn't have interrupted."

He secretly vowed to learn from this lesson and never again take the initiative to express any opinions on Fu Jingbai and Qian Qinglei's matter.

…………

On the other end, Qian Qinglei hung up the phone and handed it back.

"She still cares about you quite a bit,"

Fu Jingbai took it, smiled, and said, "Why don't you ask her for a favor? Even without her boyfriend, the Tang family can afford this amount of money."

When he said this, his tone was even very sincere, as if he were genuinely giving her advice.

Who would have thought that not long ago, he was the one who laid everything out on the table and slowly told her that the real estate company her father worked for belonged to the Fu family.

Over the past three days, he conducted a cursory investigation and discovered that her father had embezzled, accepted bribes, and abused his power to privately collect kickbacks totaling more than two million yuan.

This is only the accounts for the past year.

The previous ones haven't been investigated yet.

But even with just over two million yuan, if a police report were filed, it would be enough to land someone in jail.

It's practically an unspoken rule in the industry for executives to privately accept kickbacks; you could say very few people have a clean record.

But just because everyone knows it doesn't mean there aren't any problems.

If we really investigate, as long as it affects the company's interests, it's a crime of bribery.

Now, Fu Jingbai has chosen to pursue the matter.

Qian Qinglei had never encountered anything like this before; she was completely bewildered when he came to her door.

Fu Jingbai patiently presented the irrefutable evidence to her, explaining in detail the impact these things could have on her family and her father.

Fearing that this young girl who had just graduated from high school might not understand, he became more and more direct in his speech.

I almost told her that whether her dad goes to jail or not is entirely up to me.

Finally, looking at the girl's pale face, he smiled and said, "Your dad was summoned for questioning today. If you don't believe me, you can go back and ask him, or observe his expression."

The two chatted at the bubble tea shop until dinner time.

Fu Jingbai offered to take her out for a meal, but she declined. Instead of rushing, he smiled and said he would take her home.

On the bus, I received a call from Tang Wanwan.

Hearing him say that, Qian Qinglei asked, "Will everything be alright once the money is paid in full?"

Their naivety is laughable.

Fu Jingbai couldn't help but sigh softly, unable to bear lying to her, "Your father has worked for the company for twenty years, and he probably can't even remember how much money he's made."

A terrible debt.

Even if we do manage to raise the money, we need to make up for the missing funds in the existing chain of evidence.

I can no longer survive in this industry.

Even if he were ruthless, her father would still inevitably face imprisonment.

Qian Qinglei could no longer hold back, "What exactly do you want to do?"

Fu Jingbai paused for a moment, then asked in return, "You don't know?"

"You're dreaming!" Qian Qinglei glared at him with red eyes. "Do you think you can win someone's heart with these kinds of methods? Dream on, this only makes me despise you."

The screech of brakes cut through the night sky.

The inertia caused Qian Qinglei's body to lean forward suddenly, but in the next instant, he grabbed her shoulder and pulled her back.

"Sincerity?" Fu Jingbai stared into her eyes, her face icy. "Did I say I wanted your sincerity? I'm not interested in your sincerity at all."

He chuckled, "I just thought you were a tough nut to crack, and it was quite interesting to see you hit a wall. I wanted to try and see what you could do."

"Maybe they tried it and thought it was just so-so, so they gave up."

As if to regain the face he had been rejected, he spoke with even more blatant disregard, staring at her with a half-smile, "Don't think too highly of yourself. You're not some rare beauty. Do you really think I like you that much?"

Aside from his eyes, which are barely passable, what else could possibly catch his eye?

Is it this flat body, or the way this elementary school student dresses?

Fu Jingbai was extremely critical for a while, but the hand holding her chin tightened unconsciously.

Qian Qinglei had never heard such words before. Already struggling to hold back her tears, she could no longer contain her anger and burst into tears.

"Why are you crying? I haven't done anything to you yet,"

Fu Jingbai immediately let go of her hand, her face flushed with anger, and snapped at her, "Your father got into trouble, and I was just trying to be nice, since we know each other, so I wanted to give you a heads-up beforehand. Is that wrong?"

He said it confidently.

If Qian Qinglei hadn't known that her father was being investigated by him specifically because of her, she would have believed him.

It's because of her.

I was going to an ancient town to explore some local customs when I ran into this person.

He's got his eye on me.

This has led to the current situation.

Fu Jingbai tossed her a box of tissues, started the car, and said, "Stop crying. I hate women crying."

Qian Qinglei also doesn't like to cry.

She was even less willing to cry in front of him.

This was the first time in her life she had ever hated someone so much.

She grabbed a tissue, hastily wiped away her tears, and refused to show weakness any longer.

Inside the car, no one spoke.

Until the car stopped at the entrance of her residential compound.

Qian Qinglei opened the car door to get out, but was stopped by Fu Jingbai in the driver's seat.

He handed over a business card and said calmly, "You may not fully grasp the seriousness of the matter right now. I'll give you three days. After three days, you can decide for yourself whether or not to contact me."

Qian Qinglei sneered and got out of the car without a second thought, having no intention of accepting the business card.

This time, my wrist was grabbed.

Fu Jingbai's voice turned cold, "To tell you the truth, your father's matter is just the beginning. I'm even holding back with my own employees, but you insist on being shameless. Your mother and brother are just waiting to be dealt with."

"Oh right, and the Xu family too. We'll take them down one by one. I have no mercy on them."

…………

This side of the villa.

We ate dinner in silence.

Tang Wanwan suggested going home.

Jiang Yanzhi glanced at his wristwatch.

It's only eight o'clock, how could we bear to let them go?

He said, "I guarantee I'll get you home before 10 o'clock."

It's not too early, and it's not too late.

The Tang family doesn't have a curfew, but if they did, it would be around this time.

Unable to find a reason to refuse, Tang Wanwan had no choice but to stay.

A home theater was set up on the second floor.

The projector was turned on, and Tang Wanwan leaned back in the massage chair with a fruit plate and snacks beside her.

I forked a cherry tomato and put it in my mouth.

I watched the movie playing on the screen quietly, but I couldn't get into it at all.

She turned her head and looked at the person next to her.

The room was dimly lit, with only the faint light from the movie screen.

Half of his face was hidden in the darkness, and his entire outline was not very clear.

But one can still see his calm and composed demeanor.

It's the kind of attitude that doesn't care about anything and can easily solve any problem.

In some ways, ...it's quite frightening.

Tang Wanwan pursed her lips, reached out and poked his arm. When the other person looked over, she said, "I have a question for you."

Jiang Yanzhi grasped her hand and said, "Ask away."
