She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 213 Do you expect me to abandon my grandson?

Old Master Fu was so angry that he trembled all over, veins bulging on his forehead. He glared at his trusted aide with eyes that seemed to spit fire, and shouted angrily.

"Look at you, so pathetic! You got scared like this just from a random threatening phone call? It seems the older you get, the more timid you become; you can't even handle this little bit of trouble!"

The confidant trembled at Old Master Fu's sudden outburst of anger, a hint of helplessness on his face.

He opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to explain, but fearing he would anger Old Master Fu again, he hesitated several times before stopping.

After a long while, he finally mustered up his courage and spoke in a slightly trembling voice.

"Grandpa, please calm down. I'm not scared, I just feel that this matter is not so simple. Think about it, if the other party really has a powerful background and is targeting Young Master Xingze, then we can't act rashly now. We must be cautious. If we really anger them, it will be difficult to clean up the mess later."

At this point, the confidant secretly glanced at Old Master Fu's face, only to see that Old Master Fu's face had turned bright red, and his eyes revealed extreme dissatisfaction and anger.

Upon hearing this, Old Master Fu felt his blood rush to his head. He slammed his hand on the table, causing the teacups to jump and spill tea.

"What do you mean? Do you want me to just watch my grandson suffer and abandon him like this? How could you say such a thing!"

Grandpa Fu's voice became sharp and shrill with anger, echoing in the room and sending chills down everyone's spine.

The confidant lowered his head in fright, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead, and he nervously rubbed the hem of his clothes with his hands.

He hesitated for a moment, then forced himself to speak again, "Grandpa, I know you feel sorry for young master Xingze, but we also have to consider the bigger picture. The Fu family has more than just young master Xingze. In the current situation, if there's really no other way, we can only protect the majority. Besides, Xiuheng is still young and can have more children in the future. We can't let a moment of impulsiveness lead us to ruin the entire Fu family."

The confidant's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible. He knew that Old Master Fu certainly didn't like hearing these words, but as a trusted confidant of the Fu family, he had to remind the old man to consider things carefully.

Upon hearing his confidant's words, Old Master Fu felt as if he had been slapped hard across the face, his expression alternating between pale and red.

A flicker of panic crossed his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by determination. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely.

"You want me to give up Xingze? No way! No matter who they are, I won't stand idly by. My Fu family has been established in this world for many years and has never been afraid of anyone. I want to see who has the guts to mess with my Fu family!"

As he spoke, Old Master Fu paced back and forth in the room, his hands clenched into fists, his heart filled with extreme anger.

Seeing this, the confidant knew that further persuasion would be futile, so he could only sigh helplessly and silently pray that the Fu family could safely weather this crisis.

Lin Qingran was gently awakened from her sleep by Bo Ye. She was still sleepy and her eyes were a little tired, but when Bo Ye told her that an important guest had arrived, she instantly woke up, quickly tidied her hair and clothes, and went to the door to greet him.

Zhang Yihong stood at the door, dressed in a sharp suit, his hair neatly combed, his face showing concern and seriousness.

Lin Qingran quickly and warmly said, "Mr. Zhang, it's been a long time! Please come in!"

Zhang Yihong nodded slightly, walked into the room, and glanced at Lin Qingran and Bo Ye.

"Miss Jiang, you must not have been getting much rest these days, right? I came here today to help you relieve your worries."

Lin Qingran's heart stirred.

These past two days, just when she was worried about having no one to discuss a solution, she suddenly heard that Zhang Yihong was in Jiangcheng negotiating a project, so she contacted Zhang Yihong and asked him to meet with her.

Thinking that Zhang Yihong had a wide network of connections, he might be able to offer some useful advice.

Hearing Zhang Yihong say this, Lin Qingran felt a slight sense of relief.

If he's willing to help, things might take a turn for the better.

After Zhang Yihong sat down, before they could even exchange a few pleasantries, Lin Qingran asked eagerly.

"Mr. Zhang, you are a man of great experience and knowledge. Do you have any other good solutions for this matter?"

Her eyes were filled with anxiety, and her hands unconsciously clasped together tightly.

Zhang Yihong remained silent for a while, crossed his arms in front of his chest, and frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about how to phrase his words.

After a moment, he slowly spoke.

“Miss Jiang, in my opinion, the best way for you to rescue Fu Xingze is to stop all investigations into Zhou Lan.”

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran looked puzzled and asked, "What's wrong?"

“Fu Xingze’s matter did indeed originate from Zhou Lan, but my investigation and my efforts to save him are two separate things. Why should the investigation be stopped?”

Her eyes were fixed on Zhang Yihong, trying to find the answer in his expression.

Zhang Yihong fell silent again. After a long while, he sighed and said...

“Miss Jiang, I have already inquired about the situation through various channels before I came here, and I know some inside information. But I am not at liberty to reveal too much to you about the specifics. As long as you trust me and do as I say, Fu Xingze will have a chance to escape trial.”

A hint of embarrassment flashed in his eyes, and his voice became low.

A struggle appeared on Lin Qingran's face. She bit her lip and asked.

"What will happen to Xingze in the future?"

A hint of reluctance flashed in Zhang Yihong's eyes as he spoke slowly.

"In any case, Fu Xingze's life will definitely be stained. And from now on, neither you nor Fu Xiuheng should have too high expectations for Fu Xingze. He can only live an ordinary life, and that is the only way to ensure his safety."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran's body trembled slightly, and a look of pain appeared on her face.

She understood that although Zhang Yihong's words were cruel, they might be the most realistic solution at the moment.

The image of Fu Xingze as a child flashed through her mind, and a pang of pain shot through her heart.

But she also knew that in this situation, she had to think calmly and make the right decision.

Bo Ye had been listening quietly the whole time. At this moment, he stepped forward, gently patted Lin Qingran's shoulder, and gave her a comforting look.

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, raised her head, looked at Zhang Yihong, and said firmly, "Mr. Zhang, I understand what you mean, and I will seriously consider your suggestion. Thank you for telling me this."
