Chapter 338: Chapter 241: Three Words

Fu Tingzhou was stunned when he heard those three words.

He watched Tang Xi’s retreating figure. She walked away decisively, giving herself no time to react, as if she did not want to bother him in the slightest.

Fu Tingzhou heard the name he wanted to hear.

But his heart felt empty.

It seemed that this wasn’t how he wanted to hear it.

After returning to the suite, Shen Duan came to knock on the door and inquire about his condition. Seeing Fu Tingzhou sitting in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, his expression gloomy, Shen Duan knew he was in a bad mood and did not dare to disturb him, but he also had something to tell him.

After hesitating for a few seconds, Shen Duan mustered the courage and cleared his throat, "Master, tomorrow morning at ten, Shanshui Manor, Gao Yufeng has invited you."

Fu Tingzhou declined decisively, "No meeting."

"Gao Yufeng said he has some different opinions about this project and would like to discuss it with you face to face, and then apologize in person," complained Shen Duan internally about Gao Yufeng’s thick-skinned nature. Just like Gao Chengxiong, cut from the same cloth, even after the contract was terminated, he probably came back because the bank did not grant the loan.

Fu Tingzhou’s frown deepened, looking especially uncomfortable, "I said, no meeting."

"Yes, sir."

Shen Duan, paying attention to Fu Tingzhou’s condition, noticed his frown and approached, "Master, the painkillers are in the drawer; do you want..."

"No need, take out the essential oil from the second drawer."

Shen Duan opened the second drawer, took out the essential oil, and handed it to Fu Tingzhou. The man opened it, applied a little, and rubbed it evenly in his palm, then raised his hand to massage his temples.

The cool sensation slowly spread, tinged with a hint of medicinal herbs’ scent.

But it was very soothing.

For a moment, it was as if Tang Xi stood behind him.

Fu Tingzhou felt a sudden relief.

He opened his eyes, his gaze falling on a spot outside the window. His pupils were dark and indifferent, his voice hoarse and gloomy, "Help me look up a name, Su Mengshu."

"Yes," replied Shen Duan, but he did not leave immediately.

He was worried about the recurrence of Fu Tingzhou’s migraine.

Every time it struck, Fu Tingzhou suffered immensely.

Fu Tingzhou demanded, "Look it up now. I need all the information on Su Mengshu now!"

Understanding the gravity of the matter, Shen Duan immediately made a call to his subordinates to arrange for a private investigator to gather information on Su Mengshu. Two hours later, Shen Duan handed the printed documents to Fu Tingzhou.

At this moment, Fu Tingzhou’s head was splitting with pain.

But as he saw the information on the woman, he took it immediately.

Reading Fu Tingzhou’s mood, Shen Duan vaguely guessed that this Su Mengshu was probably the woman Fu Tingzhou had been searching for.

But this Su Mengshu...

Seems to be still in prison.

Fu Tingzhou was browsing through Su Mengshu’s information, looking at her picture, her details, all her past, when suddenly he frowned. He raised his hand to cover his head, gulping for breath. The documents scattered on the floor and Fu Tingzhou’s handsome face turned pale as paper, as if he was trying to suppress the pain.

Shen Duan hurried over, "Master, are you alright?"

This time, Fu Tingzhou’s migraine was fierce and unlike any before. Shen Duan immediately found painkillers in the drawer and administered them, but even after more than ten minutes, they were of no help. Fu Tingzhou’s forehead was covered in cold sweat, and his vision began to darken.

The man’s lips trembled, "Su Mengshu..."

This name, whenever he tried to think of it, caused head-splitting pain, almost as if it were going to explode.

Before losing consciousness, in that last moment, Tang Xi’s retreating figure flashed in Fu Tingzhou’s mind—slender, frail, yet obstinate.

Su Mengshu, Tang Xi...

He closed his eyes and fell to the side.

Shen Duan was shocked and immediately dialed the emergency number.

-

When Tang Xi returned home, she found her mobile phone had run out of battery.

She charged her phone and turned it on, noticing there were two missed calls from an unknown number.

Tang Xi dialed the number back.

"Hello, may I ask who is this..."

From the other end, a man’s voice came through slowly, "Xu Rongchen."

Tang Xi’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as she gripped her phone tighter.

Without speaking, she stood up and walked to the balcony, opening the window. Xu Rongchen’s voice came from the other end, "The deal I offered last time still stands. I hope you will consider it. Take the money and stay away from Fu Tingzhou."

Tang Xi had already made things clear with Fu Tingzhou tonight.

But at this moment, she couldn’t help but sneer, "You really are Fu Tingzhou’s good elder brother."

"Tang Xi, I helped you four years ago, and we all thought you were dead by then. You have already deregistered here in North City. I’m giving you money to ensure your safety and peace for the rest of your life. Leave Fu Tingzhou, don’t disturb his life, and stay away from him," Xu Rongchen said.
