"Qiong Bao, which dish did you just say was delicious"Shen Qiong regained her composure from the shock and hugged Mu Xing tightly, "Little Star, please protect me!""Huh" Mu Xing blinked. "Didn't you s...The phone on the bedside table vibrated silently.
Fu Lingxiao picked it up and glanced at it, carefully drawing out the arm that Mu Xing had been leaning on. He got out of bed and walked to the bathroom, closing the door and answering the phone, "What's up"
"Why did you suddenly resign What happened"
On the phone, Shen Yi's voice was a little hurried. He had just returned from a business trip and received news that Fu Lingxiao had stepped down as CEO of Fu Group.
Although Fu Lingxiao is still the chairman of the board, and has not publicly stated that he will no longer be involved in any decisions of the group, this news came as a complete surprise. Coupled with Fu Lingxiao's influence on the international stage, this has become a hot topic of discussion worldwide.
And now, the outside speculations are very harmful to the Fu Group.
Shen Yitai understood his brother's personality too well. He always considered everything carefully and wouldn't be unaware of the huge turmoil this decision would cause, the crisis the Fu Corporation would face. But he still did it, indicating that something very serious must have happened.
He was furious, but the person involved was surprisingly calm. He lowered his voice and said nonchalantly, "I'm not available right now, let's meet later and talk."
"I'll be waiting for you at the company."
After Shen Yi finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Fu Lingxiao turned to leave, but suddenly a sharp pain ripped through his entire body, as if he were being torn apart.
He hurriedly grabbed the sink, gritting his teeth to hold back the rising blood.
"Tick-tock!"
A single drop of dark red blood landed on the washstand, followed by a second, then a third...
Fu Lingxiao slowly raised his head and looked into the mirror. Blood, a deep crimson, flowed continuously from his nose and ears, dripping onto the washstand and quickly merging into a large pool.
Each relapse served as a stark reminder, pushing him one step closer to death.
Regret, unwillingness to give up, disappointment, powerlessness...
All kinds of bitterness piled up in his heart, heavy enough to make him gasp for air. He gripped the edge of the washstand with all his might, his bloodshot eyes staring intently at his reflection in the mirror.
After a long time, the tearing pain in his body finally subsided, the bleeding stopped, and the red blood in his eyes gradually faded away.
The bathroom was thick with the heavy smell of blood.
Fu Lingxiao opened the window to ventilate, cleaning the blood off the sink. After washing his face, he took a shower to ensure there was no lingering smell of blood before stepping out of the bathroom.
Mu Xing was still fast asleep, Fu Lingxiao took his clothes and put them on, quietly leaving.
The moment the door closed, the young girl sleeping soundly on the bed slowly opened her eyes, tears welling up in her eyes and rolling down her cheeks.
My uncle got poisoned.
He must have noticed something, she had to act fast!
Mu Xing sniffed her nose and took out her phone to call Wei Zhiye: "How's the investigation into Black Territory going"
"I was just about to call and report, and you called me. My dear leader, we truly are in sync!"
Mu Xing wasn't in the mood to waste time with him, "Just say it!"
"The Black Domain is moving members on a large scale. I followed them for a few days and discovered their destination is the Imperial City, and they are carrying a lot of weapons. They must be planning something big."
Wei Zhizhe was able to find the Dark Domain so quickly this time mainly because the Dark Domain's relocation of its members was on a massive scale, and it also allowed him to see how terrifying the power of the Dark Domain truly was.
He lowered his voice, solemnly warning: "The imperial city is very dangerous now. You should leave as soon as possible."
Mu Xing didn't answer, only saying: "You continue to keep an eye on the Black Domain. Notify me immediately if anything happens. Remember, don't let anyone know about your actions, especially Qian Xi."
“I just knew the leader loved me, otherwise why would he only give me this mission and forbid anyone else from knowing about it! Don't worry, my dearest leader, I will definitely keep our secret of love safe!”
Wei Zhiye swore solemnly.
Mu Xing heard this and frowned, "... Why don't you donate your vocal cords"
"Alright, my dear leader, I'm off to work!"
"Be safe."
After hanging up the phone, Mu Xing clenched her mobile tightly, her expression turning icy cold.
The Void!
-
Fu Lingxiao drove to the Shen Group.
Shen Yi had been waiting in the office for a long time. Seeing the man push open the door, he couldn't help but be taken aback, "Two months apart, you've changed quite a bit."
Not only has his eyesight improved, but his body has also become strong and healthy. He is completely different from the frail appearance he had when we last met.
Before he came, Shen Yi had been worried that something was wrong with him, that he needed to recuperate and that's why he suddenly resigned. Now seeing how well he was recovered, he could finally relax, but also became even more puzzled.
When Fu Lingxiao sat opposite him, he pushed a cup of tea over and said, "Tell me, why did you suddenly resign"
Fu Lingxiao leaned back in his chair, "I only have less than half a month left to live."
A voice so calm it couldn't be calmer, as casual as discussing the weather.
Shen Yi was stunned for a moment, staring at him for several minutes before suddenly laughing, "You're really a living Hades! When you're ruthless, you even curse yourself!"
Fu Lingxiao didn't speak, he just stared at Shen Yi fixedly.
Shen Yi's smile froze, his voice laced with anger, "Fu Lingxiao, don't mess with me! I'm serious! I really will flip!"
"I'm not joking."
Fu Lingxiao looked serious.
Shen Yi was still unable to accept it, almost yelling, "What about those experts you hired! Are they all just eating for nothing! I'll go and kill that bunch of trash myself! And find a new batch for you!"
The usually calm man lost his composure at that moment, grabbed his gun and rushed out.
Fu Lingxiao stood up and stopped him. "Sit down and listen to me properly. I only have this much time left, you should save some of it. I still want to spend more time with Mu Xing."
Shen Yi gritted his teeth and sat back on the sofa, his whole body seemed to deflate. "Lao Fu, tell me, how could this happen..."
"That is the fact."
He had no choice but to accept.
Fu Lingxiao's lips curled into a wry smile, he paused for a moment, and then said, "I've already investigated most of what happened back then. The grievances that have spanned over a decade should also come to an end."
Shen Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "What do you need me to do"
"This matter is not necessary, the group really needs your help. Zhao Jin alone can't handle everything. Some of the affairs of the overseas branch, you help me to deal with them."
The Fu Group was the only thing he could leave for Xing'er, and it was also the guarantee he gave her. He had to arrange it for her, so that she would be carefree for the rest of her life.
"Rest assured!"
A brother's hard-won empire, as long as he doesn't die, I will definitely protect it well!
"Also, my grandmother... Do you have time to go see her for me"
Shen Yi was really reaching his limit, choking back a sob as he spat out, "Damn it! Can't you wait until you're dead to spout these last words I don't want to hear them now!"
"Alas, I've finished speaking."
Fu Lingxiao curled his lips into a faint smile, got up and left, "Leaving."
Watching his figure disappear in the doorway, his footsteps fading away until they were inaudible.
Shen Yi could no longer hide his emotions. His eyes were red, and he clenched his fist, smashing it heavily on the desk. His chest heaved violently...
