Chapter 220: Chapter 220: Add Fuel to the Fire

Song Zhengxian won the bid, but there was a mishap in the payment process. The 200 million yuan they had initially secured was embezzled by a financial staff member who fled with the funds. When Han Lu learned of the news the following day, she immediately sought out Qin Nianwan, but couldn’t help being startled upon seeing her disheveled hair:

"What happened to you?"

Qin Nianwan, unenthusiastic and unwilling to elaborate, responded, "What are you here for?"

The truth was, Han Lu didn’t really care about what had happened to Qin Nianwan; she was merely curious. Since Qin Nianwan wasn’t forthcoming, Han Lu didn’t press the issue and instead explained everything about Song Zhengxian’s situation in Country H in detail. Qin Nianwan frowned slightly upon hearing this.

She had foreseen that things wouldn’t go so smoothly, but she hadn’t expected such a critical error to occur at such a pivotal moment.

Seeing Qin Nianwan fall silent, Han Lu, however, clearly couldn’t maintain her composure:

"Don’t be silent, come on, think of something."

"What can I do?" Qin Nianwan appeared to have given up, "Tell your brother to give up. We don’t have the resources to gather another billion for him."

"Give up? How could that be possible? Do you not understand what this successful bid means for us? All of our efforts, all the things we did in the dark, could be overturned with this success. Don’t you want to return to Xuanxuan’s side legitimately?"

Qin Nianwan laughed softly. She wanted to, of course she did. No one cared about Xuanxuan more than she did. But what could they do now?

"Go to Fu Shinian, ask him for a loan. He was willing to lend to you before, he surely will now too."

Qin Nianwan shook her head:

"He won’t."

"Why not?"

"He knows everything."

Han Lu frowned slightly, "What do you mean? What does he know?"

"Everything. The incident in Country H where I was taken advantage of, and the scheme against Su Mu with Chen Huifang this time, he knows it all, and also... the matter between your brother and me."

Han Lu had thought of Fu Shinian as their last resort but was dismayed to find that option had already been squandered. She looked at Qin Nianwan skeptically:

"Did you tell him?"

Qin Nianwan simply laughed softly, remaining silent, no longer wanting to explain further.

Han Lu might be considered a comrade-in-arms, but when had she ever truly trusted Qin Nianwan? She, just like Song Zhengxian, had always treated her as nothing more than a money-making tool. In this world, nobody had truly cared about her.

There had been someone who genuinely cared—Fu Shinian had once sincerely cared about her, but that was a long time ago.

Facing such a situation, Han Lu wouldn’t give up. She looked at Qin Nianwan as if clinging to the last straw:

"What about the negative? Did you keep a backup?"

Qin Nianwan shook her head, "Why would I keep that thing? Besides, now that Fu Shinian knows it was me, just because he compromised for Su Mu once doesn’t mean someone else can treat him like a fool and make him shell out another 2 billion."

Han Lu said nothing, but neither did she leave; she sat there quietly with a furrowed brow, deep in thought.

Seeing this, Qin Nianwan spoke:

"Han Lu, I will soon be sent to Country R by Fu Shinian, and I doubt he’ll let you off easily either. While he hasn’t come after you yet, hurry and leave. Go back to Country H and take care of Xuanxuan for me."

"All of this was your doing, so why would he come after me?" Han Lu reflexively stood up from the sofa, looking dissatisfiedly at Qin Nianwan, "It was your idea to have Chen Huifang drug Su Mu and Wen Han and take those photos. What has it got to do with me?"

Qin Nianwan was not surprised that Han Lu shifted all the responsibility onto her, nor did she say anything, but she just gave a desolate smile.

Seeing that there was no hope of getting help from Qin Nianwan, Han Lu didn’t waste any more time and left directly. The empty room was left with only Qin Nianwan, accompanied only by her disheveled state and the coldness in her heart.

Song Yi delivered to Fu Shinian’s desk the records from two years ago when Qin Nianwan visited the gynecology and obstetrics department at the hospital:

"These are all the records from that year."

Fu Shinian casually flipped through a few pages:

"So, Song Zhengxian is Han Jie?"

"Yes, I also investigated the relationship between Qin Nianwan and Han Jie, it’s in the last two pages." Seeing that Fu Shinian had no intention of flipping further, Song Yi took the initiative to say, "Qin Nianwan is an orphan, saved by Han Jie who at the time was still a gangster... Hence, she gave herself to him. Since Han Jie didn’t have a proper job, their life was miserable, and later on, they resorted to deception, and even ’falling-in-love’ scams."

Fu Shinian leaned back in his chair, showing no particular emotion, but revealed a self-deprecating smile as Song Yi recounted the story:

"So, I was a target they set their sights on?"

Song Yi didn’t dare to say it was so, but he didn’t deny it either, after all, it was the truth.

Fu Shinian considered himself to have good judgment, at least he had never made any mistakes in business investments. However, when it came to relationships, somehow, he had been deceived twice—once by believing Qin Nianwan, and once for not believing Su Mu.

"Also, Song Zhengxian’s bid was successful because we had tampered with it, so the final price was 250 million. Our people have already pulled out." Song Yi placed a bank card on Fu Shinian’s desk, "The funds are all here."

Fu Shinian glanced indifferently at the card:

"There is a 15-day period from winning the bid to the payment of funds. It’s not guaranteed that Song Zhengxian won’t take desperate measures in this time. You still need to be extra careful, and ensure there are no mistakes."

"Yes, I will," Song Yi said.

As soon as Song Yi finished speaking, his phone chimed with a news alert. He picked it up, glanced at it, and involuntarily looked at Fu Shinian:

"There’s been an incident involving Qin Nianwan."

"Hmm?"

"Wei Shaoqin has released a video of Qin Nianwan."

Fu Shinian responded nonchalantly, unsurprised. If his guess was correct, Wei Shaoqin held the video of Qin Nianwan as a precaution. Now that Su Mu was being treated this way by Qin Nianwan, Wei Shaoqin would certainly not let her off easily.

He tossed the report in front of him towards Song Yi:

"Add fuel to the fire."

Song Yi looked uncertainly at Fu Shinian:

"Mr. Fu, this..."

Although the records of Qin Nianwan’s pregnancy from two years ago could indeed add a dramatic twist to the current news cycle, the timing was extremely sensitive. People who knew about Fu Shinian’s past relationship with Qin Nianwan were not few, and they only needed to think for a moment to realize that Fu Shinian was cuckolded two years ago, which for a man, especially one of Fu Shinian’s status, was undoubtedly handing others a joke on a silver platter.

Even if no one dared to bring up the matter to Fu Shinian’s face, there was no guarantee that they wouldn’t talk behind his back.

Fu Shinian naturally understood Song Yi’s concerns and glanced at him indifferently:

"I don’t care about those who only dare to wag their tongues behind my back."
