From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

The location indicator on the computer screen was still flashing, but the raging anger that had surged within me had already been forcefully suppressed.

Fang Heng wants to play dirty tricks on me, and wants to crush me with his capital and power.

Then I'll play a game with him, a game he simply can't afford to lose.

Without further hesitation, I quickly grabbed my phone and keys, pushed open the door, and hailed a taxi straight to the Fortune Building.

The car drove smoothly through the traffic, while the street scenes outside the window rushed past.

My mind raced, but one persistent doubt lingered in my mind, making me increasingly confused.

Su Qing clearly went out for a walk to clear her head, telling me she was just strolling around the neighborhood. How did she suddenly end up at Fang Heng's private club?

Was she truly desperate, and in order to help me break out of this predicament, she took the initiative to humble herself and go to Fang Heng to negotiate?

Or did Fang Heng premeditate this and set a trap to forcibly take her away?

These two situations are completely different.

If it is the latter, intentional detention and drugging are not just simple personal grudges, but crimes!

The image of Su Qing, who was unconscious and in a deep sleep, kept replaying in my mind. It didn't look like a normal state of deep sleep at all.

My anxiety kept building, but I forced myself to stay calm.

Especially in situations like these, it's crucial not to lose your composure.

With mixed feelings running through the car, the taxi finally stopped downstairs at the Jiangzhou Fortune Building.

Looking up, towering skyscrapers stand in the city center, their glass curtain walls reflecting the cold, harsh sunlight.

Beneath the glamorous and prosperous exterior lies a sordid and secretive world that cannot be brought to light.

I composed myself, took out my phone, and immediately dialed Su Wan's number.

The call connected instantly, and before I could even ask anything, Su Wan's cool voice came through first:

"Found it. It's on the 28th floor, room 2807, a private club suite that Fang Heng has been renting out for a long time."

"Have you contacted Fang Heng's parents? Have they arrived yet?" I asked immediately.

"Yes, it's already on its way."

She paused briefly, her tone becoming more serious: "Lin Ye, I'm only responsible for arranging this meeting; I won't get involved in any subsequent disputes. You'd better make sure you're telling the truth."

My tone was firm, without the slightest hesitation: "Do you think I would joke with you about Su Qing's safety like this?"

There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then Su Wan continued, "I've arranged the meeting for you. What are your plans for handling this now?"

She paused, then asked, "Also, now that Fang's parents have witnessed this, how do you plan to handle the situation? Aren't you afraid Fang Heng will go crazy afterwards and launch an even more intense revenge against you and Su Qing?"

I looked up at the cold building in front of me, let out a long breath of pent-up frustration, and said in a deep voice, "I don't need to do anything."

"All I want to do is destroy the image of a well-behaved and sensible person that his parents have cultivated in their hearts for so many years. All he relies on is the resources of the Fang family. Once he completely loses the trust and support of his family, and without the Fang family's backing, he, Fang Heng, is nothing."

"Then how can you be sure you can withstand his final counterattack?" Su Wan continued to press.

I sneered, my tone carrying a hint of dominance, and said, "Without the Fang family's backing, what makes this spoiled brat who only knows how to hide behind the scenes and play dirty tricks think he can fight me? If he dares to retaliate, I'll fight him to the bitter end. If I can't destroy him, I, Lin Ye, will change my name and take his surname."

On the other end of the phone, Su Wan, who was usually aloof and indifferent, actually chuckled.

"You are indeed different from those ordinary young people, no wonder Su Qing is so fond of you."

A bitter feeling welled up in my heart, and I gave a low, bitter laugh: "I was originally thinking that if all else failed, I would ask Fang Bo to keep him in check and give him some leeway. But he didn't know when to stop and walked right into my trap, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

"Since you know what you're doing, I won't interfere any further." Su Wan's tone returned to calm. "You can handle the rest yourself. I have other things to do, so I'll hang up now."

"Thank you." I thanked him sincerely.

I hung up the phone and took a deep breath.

Suppressing all my emotions, I walked into the lobby of the Fortune Building, took the elevator, and went straight to the 28th floor.

The entire 28th floor is a private club suite, and the corridors are so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

I leaned gently against the quiet corner of the corridor, waiting patiently.

At this moment, room 2807 is dimly lit and alluring, yet it hides extreme filth.

Fang Heng stood by the bed, looking down at Su Qing, who was fast asleep.

He held a camera in his hand, slowly adjusting the angle, and kept taking pictures of Su Qing, whose clothes were disheveled.

Every photo was a deliberate illusion he created, a dirty bargaining chip to manipulate Su Qing and suppress me in the future.

He was certain that I had completely lost my composure, that I was powerless and had no choice but to obediently bow my head and beg for mercy.

He held his phone, still waiting for my call, waiting to hear my desperate pleas, waiting to see my humble, bowed head.

He thought he had everything under control and that he held everyone's fate in his hands.

Little did he know that the despair that would crush his life was already quietly approaching downstairs.

……

Ten minutes passed in the blink of an eye.

A black, top-of-the-line business van slowly pulled up in front of the Fortune Building.

The car door opened, and two tall, upright men got out one after the other.

Leading the group was Fang Heng's father, Fang Renjie, the head of the Fang family, with his personal assistant by his side.

Su Wan only asked him to come over for a private matter, without explaining the reason.

Fang Renjie assumed it was a business collaboration or a serious family matter, so he rushed over with his assistant.

The two entered the building one after the other, took the private elevator, and went straight to the 28th floor.

I leaned against the wall in the corridor, watching the elevator numbers jump from floor to floor, finally settling on the 28th floor.

The elevator doors slowly opened, and two figures stepped out.

Seeing Fang Renjie's calm and dignified demeanor, I was slightly taken aback, but I quickly suppressed all my emotions, took out my phone, and dialed Su Qing's number.

The call was answered almost instantly.

Fang Heng's mocking, confident, and sinister voice instantly came through the receiver:

"You've finally figured it out? You're finally willing to back down? Tell me, how are you planning to beg me?"

I lowered my voice, feigning exhaustion, and said in a conciliatory tone:

"Fang Heng, I've thought it through. I have no chance of winning if I continue fighting you; it'll only be a waste of my time. I came to you to apologize, beg you to stop, and let me and Su Qing go."

On the other end of the phone, Fang Heng suddenly burst into arrogant laughter, full of superiority and mockery.

"Wouldn't it have been better if you had been pragmatic from the start? Lin Ye, you're ultimately from a humble background. Recognizing the gap between you and others is your only way out."

While I pretended to be perfunctory and stalled, I kept a close eye on Fang Renjie's movements.

He held the room number Su Wan had given him beforehand, his gaze sweeping across the corridor and rooms, finally stopping at the door of room 2807.

With a sense of urgency, I calmly spoke into the phone, "Open the door. I'm already at your door. Let's sit down and talk things over."

"What?!"

Fang Heng's laughter abruptly stopped, his tone filled with unexpected shock: "You're at my door? How did you find this place?!"

I didn't answer immediately. Seeing Fang Renjie raise his hand to knock, I spoke slowly and deliberately:

"Su Qing's phone has location sharing enabled, so I can find her naturally. Stop wasting time and open the door to talk."
