Chapter 33

Could it really have been such a coincidence? Had he resolved this incident so easily?

Fu Siyao could still keep her composure.

But when the police detected a neurological drug in the spilled liquor from Xie Muling's broken glass, everyone's expressions instantly changed.

Knowing he had been the intended target, Xie Muling was startled as well. If Fu Siyao had not smashed the glass, it was truly hard to predict what would have happened after he drank it.

At that thought, his gaze softened a little as he looked at Fu Siyao.

Fu Siyao had not expected anyone to call the police, but the current situation suited her perfectly.

As long as Jiang Ruoning and Xie Muling were not left alone together, she did not care about anything else.

The police quickly investigated everyone at the reception and finally found Xie Muling's earlier dance partner, who was indeed the culprit who had drugged the drink.

The case was soon solved.

But Jiang Ruoning was gritting her teeth in anger.

An entire day had been wasted being questioned at the police station.

By the time she was free, there was no longer any chance to approach Xie Muling. Such a good opportunity had slipped away just like that. Anyone would have felt awful.

It was Fu Huaiyan who had called the police again.

What on earth was going on?

Why did the Fu Family always oppose her?

Were they doing it on purpose?

Jiang Ruoning's face turned livid with anger. Once her company grew, she would never let the Fu Family off.

Meanwhile, Fu Huaiyan and Fu Siyao were delighted.

Because of the drugging incident, Xie Muling was very grateful to both of them.

Naturally, the Fu Family's business would not be affected either.

Moreover, because of this incident, Xie Muling invested several hundred million more, making their partnership even more secure. Once the contract was signed in black and white this time, no one could snatch it away.

The Fu Family had resolved this incident at an extremely small cost. It was hard not to be happy.

This time, Fu Siyao admired Fu Huaiyan too.

"Big brother, that was quite a move! What made you call the police? The moment they arrived, they completely disrupted the reception. No matter how strong Jiang Ruoning's female lead halo was, she could only wait around and cooperate with the investigation."

Fu Huaiyan chuckled. "Isn't that perfectly normal? Any normal person would think of that. Don't let the plot cage your thinking. Some things are actually very easy to resolve."

Fu Siyao nodded. Things that would clearly be easy to resolve in reality became so strange in the plot.

She would do the same from now on and thwart every one of Jiang Ruoning's aims.

For example, an outstanding business partner like Xie Muling,

And a top-tier talent like Han Yichen.

Adults did not choose. Naturally, they wanted both.

She would snatch up all these advantages that belonged to the female lead, leaving her no chance at all.

So after securing Xie Muling, Fu Siyao began looking for ways to win Han Yichen over.

After returning to the mansion, Su Wanqiao was still thinking back over the recent plot.

Everything felt far too wrong.

She had merely given her wings a gentle flap.

Yet so many plot points had changed.

But the male and female leads' storyline was not something she needed to worry about.

As a cannon-fodder supporting female character, all she needed was money, leisure, and a happy life. There was no need to bother with anything else.

Once Fu Huaiyan's partnership with Xie Muling was progressing smoothly, he set about dealing with the Chen Family, because his little wife had sent him an anonymous email.

Although technology had been used to make the address untraceable,

One look at what the sender had said was enough to tell him it was Su Wanqiao's handiwork.

So he guessed that Su Wanqiao did not want to openly discuss the book's plot with him and had chosen this discreet method to let him know instead.

He would not disappoint his wife either. He would definitely use the leverage against the Chen Family to bring them down.

Fu Huaiyan had Fu Yichu send Liu Yue photos of Chen Zheyuan with his lover.

He planned to first set Chen Zheyuan's backyard ablaze, leaving him no time or energy to spare for the company.

Fu Yichu was actually still avoiding Fu Huaiyan. He was afraid the prophecy would come true and he would fall out with his eldest brother.

So after receiving the assignment, he pledged his loyalty a hundred and twenty times over and assured Fu Huaiyan.

"Big brother, I'll definitely handle all of this properly. I really am utterly loyal to you. We're brothers by blood, with a bond as close as hands and feet. What happened in the book will absolutely never happen."

Fu Huaiyan gave a mysterious smile. "Of course it won't. Do you know how I learned about the Chen Family?"

"How did you find out?"

Fu Yichu suddenly leaned closer, his expression serious.

"Your eldest sister-in-law told me. She also told me many crucial plot points. If we change them in advance, we can protect the Fu Family's business. So we must listen to your eldest sister-in-law. If she says to go east, you absolutely cannot go west. Understand?"

"Understood!"

Fu Yichu's expression shifted.

Why hadn't he thought of that? If he wanted to protect the Fu Family, he could simply ask his eldest sister-in-law for information.

During the last project tender, he clearly had not leaked anything to Jiang Ruoning, yet she had still known their original bid.

If his eldest brother had not been a cut above and raised their bid considerably, she really might have snatched the project away.

After that incident, Fu Huaiyan had found the mole in the company and dealt with them.

But Fu Yichu was still uneasy. He kept feeling that even if he did not take part in the game, sooner or later he would become a piece on the board.

So he was a little scared.

Until Fu Huaiyan approached him this time, he had been listless.

Fu Yichu decided that he absolutely had to learn how to change the plot and deal with the crises in advance.

Once he finished the tasks at hand, he would hurry over to seek his eldest sister-in-law's advice.

Before leaving, Fu Yichu asked Fu Huaiyan a question.
