Is Chapter 194 really just a coincidence?
“Even if he has a relapse, it doesn’t mean he has no humanity. Fu Xingze is his biological son. If he had any conscience at all, he wouldn’t have said those things.”
A hint of helplessness appeared on Lu An's face. He wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and his eyes revealed a trace of sincerity.
“Miss Jiang, I know this is hard for you to believe, but the president sometimes loses control of his emotions. He was already on the verge of a breakdown while searching for Young Master Xingze. He really cares about the young master.”
A flicker of hesitation crossed Lin Qingran's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by anger.
“I don’t care whether he’s sick or not, his neglect of Xingze is a fact. Over the years, how much love has he given Xingze as a father? Now that Xingze is in trouble, can he shirk responsibility by saying he’s having an episode of illness?”
Her voice grew louder and louder, her emotions became more and more agitated, and she leaned forward involuntarily, pointing her finger in the direction of the ward.
Seeing Lin Qingran's agitated state, Lu An inwardly groaned. He knew that no matter how he explained, Lin Qingran wouldn't listen.
“Miss Jiang, I understand how you feel, but please believe me, the president didn’t want things to turn out this way either. Our top priority right now is to find a way to save Young Master Xingze, not to argue here.”
Lin Qingran took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.
“Lu An, I will find a way to save Xingze; I don’t need your hypocrisy. As for Fu Xiuheng, he must take responsibility for his actions.”
After saying that, she turned and continued walking forward.
Bo Ye glanced at Lu An with a hint of sympathy in his eyes, then left with Lin Qingran.
Lu An stood there, watching their departing figures, sighed helplessly, and could only turn around and return to the ward.
Fu Xiuheng sat blankly on the hospital bed, staring vacantly ahead.
"President, please don't be angry," Lu An said cautiously, a hint of concern in his eyes. "I think you might have been too emotional just now. You know your physical condition..."
Fu Xiuheng's face was terribly gloomy, like the sky before a storm, covered with dark clouds.
Lu An hesitated for a moment, then spoke.
"President, I know it might not be appropriate to bring this up now, but there are some things I think you need to think about carefully. For example... the kidnapping you were in back then, your current illness may very well be related to that kidnapping."
Lu An lowered his head slightly, a hint of hesitation in his eyes. He dared not look directly into Fu Xiuheng's murderous gaze, and could only steal glances at him out of the corner of his eye.
Upon hearing Lu An's words, Fu Xiuheng's body jolted violently, as if struck by an electric current.
A flicker of fear flashed across his eyes.
Fear, like a crack, suddenly appeared on his cold facade.
But he quickly regained his composure, his eyes becoming cold and sharp again, like a hawk.
"Lu An, my private affairs are none of your business." His voice was deep and hoarse, carrying an unquestionable authority, like muffled thunder rolling in the ward.
After saying that, he glared at Lu An fiercely, his eyes seeming to say, "If you say another word, don't blame me for being impolite."
Lu An was not intimidated by Fu Xiuheng's reprimand. Instead, he took a small step forward, leaned forward slightly, and unconsciously clenched his hands.
He raised his head and looked directly into Fu Xiuheng's eyes, his gaze filled with an unprecedented hardness.
"President, I know you don't want to face this, but things have come to this point, and we must find out the truth. But your current state is really not right. You're already like this, how can you save Young Master Xingze? I think you really need to cooperate with the treatment and we must find out the cause of your illness. If you really were framed, then we can't let the mastermind get away with it. Only when you accept your past can you wholeheartedly save Young Master Xingze."
He spoke very quickly, as if afraid that Fu Xiuheng would interrupt him again.
Fu Xiuheng's brows furrowed tightly, forming a deep frown.
A hint of anger flashed in his eyes, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he was trying hard to control his emotions.
After a long while, he finally spoke.
"I have considered these points of doubt that you mentioned." He spoke slowly, his voice tinged with weariness, as if recalling a painful past event.
“But after I was rescued, I started to have all sorts of health problems, which I always thought were caused by the injuries I sustained during the kidnapping.”
His eyes became somewhat dazed, as if he were lost in deep memories.
Seeing that Fu Xiuheng had begun to think, Lu An was slightly pleased, knowing that his words had worked.
Then he continued.
"President, actually, Miss Jiang reminded me last time to investigate the kidnapping incident and how Miss Lin rescued you."
Fu Xiuheng looked at Lu An with some surprise. It was actually Lin Qingran.
Lu An continued, "After Miss Jiang's reminder, I suddenly realized that your later illness might not only be due to the kidnapping, but more likely because of problems that occurred while you were staying at your neighbor's house. So I investigated and found that your food and daily necessities may have been tampered with during your stay at the Lin family's house. Even the tea you often drank or some of the medications you took may have been adulterated with substances that caused your illness. Moreover, after Lin Yuyan came into your life, your decisions and behaviors seemed to be gradually influenced by her."
As he spoke, he carefully observed Fu Xiuheng's expression, afraid that Fu Xiuheng would get angry.
Fu Xiuheng's face grew even uglier, his eyes revealing anger and regret.
He clenched his teeth, making a grinding sound, and his hands unconsciously loosened and clenched again.
"If it really is her, I will never let her go." He squeezed out these words through gritted teeth, each word filled with hatred, his eyes burning with furious flames as if he wanted to devour Lin Yuyan.
"She not only destroyed my family, but also harmed Xingze."
Lu An cautioned, "President, we don't have conclusive evidence yet, so we can't act rashly. We need to conduct further investigations to find those who knew about it back then or to find relevant evidence."
His voice was calm and steady, as if reassuring Fu Xiuheng.
Fu Xiuheng closed his eyes slightly, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down.
The scene of his kidnapping, those dark days, those blurry figures, and the scene when Lin Yuyan suddenly appeared involuntarily surfaced in his mind, playing out before his eyes like a movie.
"What happened back then was too strange. After you were kidnapped, Lin Yuyan just happened to appear and save you. Then you got closer and closer to her. Was all of this just a coincidence?"
