Chapter 141 Clues
Fu Haidong turned his face away: "No."
He couldn't let his unfilial son know about the phone call he had with Lai Yuqiang.
Otherwise, he would definitely make a big deal out of it.
Fu Haidong stared at the ceiling, putting on an indifferent expression.
Wu Xiatong walked over and bent down to report the current online public opinion situation to Fu Chengli.
Fu Chengli nodded: "We must not only investigate the anonymous person who leaked the information, but also thoroughly investigate the company's internal affairs to find out who framed us."
Wu Xiatong: "Okay, we have contacted several major news media outlets. They all said that under these circumstances, it would be best for An Ying, who is at the center of this storm, to personally come forward to explain and clarify. This would be the best solution for both the company and herself."
Fu Chengli: "Arrange this immediately."
Fu Haidong sensed something was off about those words.
They've already presented all the evidence online.
Regardless of whether this evidence is true or false, it should be verified first, right?
Fu Chengli probably didn't even look at it much before concluding that An Ying was innocent?
Why does he trust her so much?
Fu Haidong looked displeased and interrupted, "Xiao Wu, why are you in such a hurry to explain before we've even investigated the matter?"
"If we clarify her innocence now, what if the investigation goes on and she turns out to be guilty?"
"Your PR department is going to issue another clarification statement? Isn't that a slap in the face to the Fu family?"
Wu Xiatong choked up.
She really hadn't considered that aspect.
She had interacted with An Ying a few times during her work and thought she was a nice person.
When rumors and gossip attacked An Ying online, she habitually treated her as a victim.
Wu Xiatong was very willing to believe An Ying.
But when it comes to professional public relations work, and the company's reputation...
However, one has to admit that what the chairman said makes some sense.
Wu Xiatong stammered, "This..."
Fu Mingyi leaned closer and whispered, "Second brother, although An Ying doesn't appear often in the Fu family, we've watched her grow up since she was little. I think she has a very kind personality. This matter must be a frame-up."
Fu Haidong glared at Fu Mingyi: "You're a member of the Fu family, so whose side are you on? If the QS project is ruined, who will ultimately benefit?"
Fu Haidong: "It's the Lu family! What I fear most is... raising an ungrateful wretch!"
Fu Mingyi was taken aback, and guessed what his second brother meant.
He was alluding to the fact that An Weiping indirectly caused his mother's death many years ago.
Now, if An Ying's story is true...
Isn't this just history repeating itself?
Fu Mingyi sighed, too lazy to try to persuade him any further.
Wu Xiatong was caught in a dilemma and had no choice but to ask Fu Chengli for help.
"President, what do you think we should do about this...?"
Fu Chengli remained unmoved, his face expressionless.
"Do as I say: clarify that An Ying is innocent, contact the media to remove the negative trending topics, and..."
Fu Chengli's eyes were sharp and cold: "Have the Ministry of Justice issue a lawyer's letter. I want to see who's stirring up trouble here."
Wu Xiatong: "Okay."
Fu Haidong frowned in displeasure: This rebellious son completely went against his wishes and insisted on doing things his own way.
He gave a long analysis, but I ignored it all!
Fu Haidong was furious and got up to leave his seat.
Secretary Chen sighed as he watched the father and son part on bad terms.
"Mr. Fu, what about the senior management at DM Bank...?"
Fu Chengli lit a cigarette, slowly exhaled a puff of white smoke, and was about to speak.
Qin Jinchuan's teasing voice came from inside.
He was holding a woman with a fake face in his arms.
The two men were laughing and joking, holding wine glasses in their hands.
"Fu Chengli, your face looks dark. Have you had some good news lately?"
Fu Chengli frowned and glanced at Qin Jinchuan, mumbling a single word:
"roll."
The woman with the fake face was taken aback and looked at Fu Chengli with some fear.
Qin Jinchuan clicked his tongue twice: "Still pretending? I even told An Ying in the car today..."
Fu Chengli frowned.
Did An Ying come with Qin Jinchuan today?
Thinking back to how An Ying seemed a bit off today...
It's highly likely that this idiot said something he shouldn't have because he was being careless.
Fu Chengli glanced at him sideways, his expression indifferent.
"Qin Jinchuan, I'm telling you to stay away from her. If you still don't understand, I'll have someone break your legs next time."
Qin Jinchuan's eyes were glazed over; he was clearly drunk.
He chuckled and said, "You dare? Aren't you afraid my sister in heaven will be heartbroken for me...?"
Fu Chengli showed no smile at all.
He turned and left, the two brushing past each other.
He said in a low voice, "Qin Jinchuan, don't try to threaten me with dead people."
Qin Jinchuan was taken aback, and his brows furrowed.
The effects of the alcohol seemed to have worn off a bit.
She was clearly very unhappy with his behavior of referring to his sister as a "dead person".
Qin Jinchuan gritted his teeth and roared, "What did you say?! What did you call her?!"
Fu Chengli remained expressionless: "How much do you know about the past?"
He turned to look at Qin Jinchuan, exuding an extremely strong sense of oppression.
His deep black eyes had completely lost their usual carefree and chaotic look.
At this moment, his eyes were filled with a chilling coldness.
"If I find out that you also contributed to today's rumor-mongering storm, Qin Jinchuan, you just wait and see the Qin family go bankrupt. I mean what I say."
After saying that, Fu Chengli strode away.
"You..." Qin Jinchuan was so angry that he smashed his wine glass on the ground.
bang-
The glass shattered into pieces.
The red wine also spilled out.
The fake-faced beauty in Qin Jinchuan's arms screamed in fright and retreated repeatedly.
Jiang Yiru watched silently from a distance as Qin Jinchuan went berserk and smashed his wine glass.

the next day.
The public relations and legal departments worked almost all night.
They removed the trending topic overnight and released a clarification video.
They also issued a lawyer's letter, solemnly declaring that they would pursue legal action against those who spread rumors.
An Ying worked almost all night to support her colleagues.
She slept for a few hours in a daze, and when she woke up, she saw Ye Rao's message.
"Found it, it's this person."
There's also a dark, low-resolution photo.
Click on the image to enlarge.
The photo was taken from the video.
It was a screenshot from the surveillance video on the street where she and Lu Qiyao had their restaurant.
In the blurry picture, you can vaguely see someone holding a DSLR camera and taking pictures in the alley across from the restaurant.
But this person was so well disguised that it was impossible to tell if they were male or female.
His hat completely covered his face, and he also wore a mask and sunglasses.
His all-black attire blended seamlessly with the dim light behind him.
However, the camera's design is somewhat unique.
An Ying was staring at the photo when her phone rang.
The call was from Shu Wen.
It's rare to find someone in the company who's still willing to reach out to her when she's in trouble.
An Ying answered the phone and softly said hello.
Shu Wen's voice sounded somewhat urgent.
"Sister Ying, are you coming to the company today?"
An Ying: "Come on, what's wrong?"
Shu Wen: "I discovered some problems with the documents that were leaked online yesterday, and I would like to talk to you about them in person."
On the other end of the phone, Shu Wen lowered her voice slightly: "It might be evidence to help you get rid of the online slander."
An Ying immediately got up and got out of bed.
"Wait for me, I'm coming right away."
