From humble beginnings to the pinnacle of life

Boom boom boom!

A knocking sound suddenly rang out, clearly coming through the receiver into the room.

Fang Heng on the other end of the phone panicked instantly, his tone cold and surprised:

"Well, Lin Ye, you actually secretly set up location tracking to monitor her? Fine, since you're so sincere, I'll see just how much sincerity you have to offer in begging for mercy today."

The sound of hurried footsteps came through the receiver; Fang Heng had clearly gotten up and come to open the door.

I instantly gave a cold laugh and hung up the phone.

The next second, the soft sound of a door lock turning echoed in the corridor, and the door opened in response.

Immediately afterwards, a trembling, terrified, and utterly astonished voice boomed through the corridor:

"Dad! You... what are you doing here?!"

This exclamation was filled with disbelief and panic.

Then came a crisp "clang" as Fang Heng's phone slipped from his hand and landed on the soft carpet.

I remained hidden around the corner, not showing my face, but his appearance at that moment was already clearly in my mind.

He opened the door with great delight, expecting to see me begging for mercy and ready to revel in the pleasure of crushing me.

But what came into view was his most revered father.

This sudden change in circumstances left him completely bewildered.

Fang Renjie frowned, and asked in a deep voice, full of doubt, "Fang Heng, what are you doing here?"

"I...Dad, I..."

Fang Heng was instantly incoherent, his tongue tied in knots, unable to squeeze out a complete explanation for a long time, his whole body stiff with panic.

"Where is Su Wan?" Fang Renjie's gaze swept across the room, his tone becoming increasingly serious.

"Su Wan? She...she's not here!" Fang Heng was completely dumbfounded and had no idea what was going on.

Fang Renjie looked down and checked the house number again, confirming it was correct, then asked with a puzzled look:

"The person didn't come? Then what are you doing hiding here so suspiciously? Speak up! Stop stammering!"

Having spent many years in the business world, Fang Renjie had seen countless people and immediately saw through his son's guilty conscience and panic.

At this moment, Fang Heng's eyes were darting around, his face was pale, and he seemed completely out of sorts.

The accompanying assistant bowed slightly and asked in a low voice, "Chairman Fang, should I call General Manager Su to verify the situation?"

"Need not."

Fang Renjie raised his hand to stop him, his eyes filled with dark clouds, his tone cold and stern: "Go downstairs and wait first."

The assistant acknowledged and left, the elevator doors slowly closed, leaving only the father and son in the corridor.

As the outsiders left, Fang Renjie's face darkened completely, his icy aura making it hard to breathe.

Fang Heng retreated repeatedly, his face as pale as paper.

Fang Renjie asked no more questions and went straight into the room.

Fang Heng instinctively reached out to stop him, but Fang Renjie forcefully shoved him away.

The moment Fang Renjie stepped into the room, his gaze immediately fixed on the large bed.

In the dim light, Su Qing lay quietly on the bed, her eyes closed and unconscious.

Her clothes were disheveled and loose, her long hair was scattered messily on the pillow, and her shoulders were exposed, making her look disheveled and vulnerable.

The cameras scattered around the bed, along with the deliberately created ambiguous scene, instantly exposed all the sordidness.

At this moment, Fang Heng froze completely in place.

His supposedly brilliant cleverness and perfect scheming were laid bare and exposed before his own father.

The sky has fallen. It has completely fallen!

Fang Renjie's chest heaved violently, his breathing rapid, filled with extreme anger and disappointment.

He turned and stared intently at Fang Heng, demanding sharply, "What are you doing? Why is Su Qing unconscious here? What did you do to her?!"

Fang Heng's mind went blank; he panicked completely and frantically tried to explain himself incoherently:

"Dad! No...it's not what you think! It's a misunderstanding! A huge misunderstanding! It's...it's Su Qing, she came to me of her own accord, I didn't harm her!"

"You came to find me yourself?" Fang Renjie pressed on, "If you came to find me willingly, why are you lying here unconscious?!"

"She...she's not unconscious, she's just...just asleep!"

Fang Heng's voice trembled, and his words were full of holes.

"Just what? Explain yourself!" Fang Renjie roared, his voice shaking the very air in the room.

Fang Heng shuddered violently, his legs went weak, and he stammered, "I... I only gave her two sleeping pills, just to calm her down. I didn't mean to hurt her!"

"Snapped!"

A crisp, loud slap suddenly echoed throughout the room, with tremendous force.

The slap sent Fang Heng's head flying to the side, and half of his cheek instantly swelled up.

"Dad! Let me explain!" Fang Heng's eyes reddened with anxiety as he hurriedly looked up to defend himself.

"Snapped!"

Another, even heavier slap landed, completely stunning Fang Heng.

Fang Renjie's chest heaved violently, he trembled with anger, and his eyes were filled with disappointment and frustration.

"Do you even know who she is? She's the apple of the Su family's eye, the daughter of generations of friendship between our two families! How dare you use such despicable methods against her? Do you even have a brain?!"

"Have you thought about the consequences? Once Old Su finds out, the family's reputation will be ruined, and you'll have to destroy your own future!"

Fang Heng lowered his head, his forehead covered in cold sweat, his teeth chattering, and he couldn't utter another word.

The evidence is irrefutable, making all lies seem utterly ridiculous and pale.

"I had heard before that you've been narrow-minded and abusing family resources to settle personal scores. At first, I didn't want to believe it, thinking it was just gossip from others!"

Fang Renjie glared at him, his expression one of utter despair: "So you've been doing all this dirty, despicable stuff behind my back! You've used any means necessary, without any moral compass, just for your own selfish desires!"

"I...I didn't! I just wanted to have a proper talk with Su Qing, I'm just...unwilling to accept it!"

Fang Heng broke down and screamed, but he was unable to defend himself.

"How about we talk about needing to drug someone? How about we talk about needing to lock someone in your private room?"

Fang Renjie pointed at Su Qing's disheveled body on the bed: "Look at the mess you've made! Is this how you discuss business? This is filthy coercion!"

"Kneel down!"

A furious roar, filled with boundless majesty.

Fang Heng dared not hesitate for a moment, and his legs went weak.

With a thud, he knelt heavily on the carpet, his body trembling violently.

Fang Renjie took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the raging anger in his heart.

He knew perfectly well that Su Wan's private invitation to come here was not to completely break off relations, but to leave the Fang family a final way out.

If this matter escalates and a police report is filed, Fang Heng will not only be disgraced but will also bear legal responsibility.

The Fang family's years of hard work, reputation, and connections will all be completely destroyed in an instant.

He must not let the family business he built up through honest and upright deeds be ruined by this good-for-nothing son.

Suppressing his anger, Fang Renjie immediately turned around, walked quickly to the bedside, and called out urgently in a soft voice:

"Qingqing? Qingqing, wake up, it's Uncle Fang."

Su Qing lay on the bed with her eyes closed, unresponsive, still in a deep sleep.

Fang Renjie's heart tightened. He turned around and glared angrily at Fang Heng, who was kneeling on the ground, and demanded sharply, "How much medicine did you give her?!"

"Just two... really just two, I dare not put in more..."

Fang Heng's voice was weak, filled with extreme fear.

"waste!"

Enraged, Fang Renjie stepped forward and kicked him hard in the chest.

Fang Heng was kicked backwards and fell heavily to the ground. He immediately braced himself on the ground and knelt up in a sorry state, not daring to resist.

Fang Renjie clutched his chest, feeling a tightness in his chest, and almost aggravated his old ailment from anger caused by his son.

He quickly calmed himself down, and with trembling hands gently straightened Su Qing's disheveled clothes, covering her exposed shoulders, his movements very careful.

"Qingqing, wake up, don't be afraid, Uncle Fang is here."
