Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Death on the Court

Watching the man’s puzzled expression, An Yan furrowed her brow.

She grasped the man’s wrist. "Ayan, what’s wrong?"

Fu Shiyan shook his head, and then clasped her hand, his fingertips gently hooking her palm. "Nothing, I’m fine."

An Yan sensed something subtly amiss but couldn’t pinpoint what it was.

Qiu Ye sat there, her face beaming with joy, her voice consistently audible over the table.

Whenever Fu Shiyan looked up, he could see that hint of red.

He had never before been so hallucinated by a color. What was happening?

He glanced sideways at An Yan and said, "I need to go to the restroom."

An Yan nodded as she watched him stand and leave the private room.

Soon after, Gu Han asked if there was milk available, feeling discomfort in his stomach.

Qiu Ye quickly stood up, "Doctor Gu, I’ll go and ask for you."

At the washstand in the restroom, Fu Shiyan scooped up some water and splashed it onto his face.

He looked up at himself in the mirror as the water droplets slid down his resolute cheek.

Suddenly, Qiu Ye’s reflection appeared in the mirror, her smile radiant as she raised her hand to greet Fu Shiyan.

"President Fu."

Fu Shiyan pulled a paper towel from the dispenser on the wall tiles to wipe the water from his face and hands.

He threw the paper towel into the trash and turned to leave.

Qiu Ye stepped forward, blocking his path. "President Fu."

Fu Shiyan’s face darkened. "What do you want?"

Qiu Ye spun around in place with a smile. "Do you think I’m pretty?"

Fu Shiyan’s eyes turned icy, and he spat out a single word, "Scram!"

Qiu Ye still smiling, reached out to embrace him.

Fu Shiyan raised his hand and grabbed her neck, "Get as far away from me as you can!"

He flung the woman aside, and she stumbled and fell to the ground.

After washing his hands again, he strode away.

Qiu Ye, in pain, noticed the skin on her hand was scraped and bleeding. She looked around frowning, wondering why she was there.

Fu Shiyan returned to the private room, took An Yan’s hand, and turned to President Qiu. "This project collaboration is terminated; Fu Corporation will also never cooperate with Qiu Corporation again."

An Yan didn’t know what had happened, but from Fu Shiyan’s demeanor, he was clearly enraged.

President Qiu stood up anxiously to retain him. "President Fu, what happened? We were about to sign the contract after dinner."

Fu Shiyan glanced at the red figure standing at the door, his fury even more apparent. "Ask your own good daughter!"

With that, he left with An Yan.

President Qiu chased after them while Li Chaohua moved forward and grabbed Qiu Ye’s hand, "What happened to your hand? How did you get hurt?"

Just as Qiu Ye was about to say she didn’t know what happened, she saw Gu Han shaking a pocket watch.

Her eyes glazed over for a moment, then she started crying pitifully, "Mom, President Fu tried to assault me."

"What?"

Qiu Ye turned and ran out, entered the elevator, and pressed the button for the top floor, the seventh floor.

Li Chaohua and Gu Han ran after her but were just a step too late as they watched the elevator doors close.

Seeing the elevator button stop at the top floor, Li Chaohua’s heart skipped a beat.

She hastily pressed the button for another elevator and went up to the top floor with Gu Han.

Meanwhile, President Qiu was chasing Fu Shiyan and An Yan out of the clubhouse.

"President Fu, there must be some misunderstanding here,"

Fu Shiyan stared at him, "Whether it’s a misunderstanding, ask your daughter."

Just as President Qiu was about to explain further, he heard a cry for help from above.

He looked up and saw a woman in a red dress standing on the rooftop, his lips trembling. Wasn’t this his daughter?

Simultaneously, Fu Shiyan and An Yan also witnessed this scene.

President Qiu shouted, "My daughter, don’t do anything foolish! Don’t jump, wait for Dad to come up and get you. Don’t..."

Before he could finish his words, Qiu Ye leaped from the seventh floor.

With a loud crash, she landed heavily on the ground, dying instantly.

She landed headfirst, painting the ground red and white.

At that moment, people from the golf course gathered around, many calling the police and dialing 120.

Some even suggested, "Just call the funeral home’s vehicle."

Hearing this, President Qiu was both sad and angry.

She stamped her foot fiercely and rushed to Qiu Ye’s side, kneeling on the ground, "Why did you jump? Oh, Xiaoye, why? Weren’t you being treated well?"

Soon, Li Chaohua and Gu Han rushed out of the clubhouse.

Li Chaohua watched her child fall, devastated beyond desire to live.

She held her daughter’s body and sobbed loudly for a long while before she put down the body and stood up, charging towards Fu Shiyan.

"It was you! You harassed my daughter, causing her to fall ill. I will kill you!"

Fu Shiyan’s eyes lacked any warmth as he pulled An Yan behind him, raised his hand, and pushed the irrational Li Chaohua to the side.

"Your daughter cornered me in the restroom, trying to seduce me. I rejected her, and she couldn’t handle it. How is that my fault?"

Li Chaohua roared, "Impossible! Impossible! My daughter wouldn’t do such a thing! You’re lying! There are marks on her neck. Are you saying you didn’t harass her?"

President Qiu ran over and helped Li Chaohua up, glaring at Fu Shiyan, "President Fu, frustrated that you couldn’t harass my daughter, you ended our partnership. I didn’t think you’d be such a person!"

Fu Shiyan looked indifferently at the couple, "She was overly forward; am I not allowed to stop her? I was washing my hands in a public sink, so the surveillance should capture something. Go check the footage yourselves."

Gu Han approached, tears rimming her eyes, consoling the Qiu couple, "President Qiu, Mrs. Qiu, please calm down. I know it’s tough to accept Qiu Ye’s suicide, but you are aware of her psychological issues. The exact situation is unclear now; we need to investigate thoroughly."

Li Chaohua slapped Gu Han across the face, "Are you implying my daughter really tried to seduce Fu Shiyan?"

Gu Han covered her face, "I am just looking at the problem objectively, that’s all."

Li Chaohua lunged forward, grabbing at her hair.

An Yan didn’t like Gu Han, but she still spoke a fair word for her.

She stepped forward to pull Li Chaohua away, "Wait for the police, let’s talk after checking the surveillance!"

In less than twenty minutes, two police cars arrived with five officers and two forensic experts.

The forensic experts made an initial judgment of suicide and then instructed for the body to be placed in a body bag and taken away for further autopsy.

The police went to retrieve the surveillance footage, only to be informed that the camera near the restroom was broken.

The security guard explained, "It broke last night. We had already reported it to the manager and were waiting for a repair today; we never expected this to happen."

An Yan stepped forward and asked, "Is it just this one that’s broken?"

"All the cameras in this corridor are down, some animal chewed through the cables," the security guard explained.

An Yan pursed her lips, "How convenient. The surveillance in the banquet hall was deleted, and now the cameras here are broken."

Hearing this, Gu Han looked down thoughtfully, realizing she couldn’t tamper with the surveillance anymore.
