We agreed to divorce at the expiration date, why do you regret it, Mr. Fu?

Chapter 339 2 The best way to get the best of both worlds

Fu Ruoshi felt like he was struck by lightning and almost couldn't stand.

Immediately afterwards, there was another sharp pain in the shoulder, as if the stitched wound was torn open.

"Mr. Fu! Are you okay?" Liu Zhen hurriedly supported his shaking body, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"No need." Fu Ruoshi shook his head, his voice slightly hoarse, "The doctor will be back soon, come in first and talk."

Liu Zhen entered the house, guzzled two glasses of water, and explained, "Boss Fu, these past few days, our driver has been waiting at Boss Yonglin's doorstep at 6:10 every day. Today, we waited for 20 minutes but no one showed up. We knocked on the door, but no one answered. We even called, but couldn't get through. We thought something was wrong, so we asked the security guard and property management. We checked the surveillance footage and discovered that Boss Yonglin hadn't returned home last night."

While he was explaining, Fu Ruoshi also called Yonglin several times, but his phone was turned off.

Not good.

Yonglin and Fu Ruoshi have completely different personalities. He is a very orderly person. For example, he has been working overtime to handle company business recently. He leaves home at 6:15 every day and arrives at the company on time at 7:00. He can be found at any time during his work, and even the signing and approval processes are at almost fixed times.

Therefore, he is definitely not the kind of person who would be absent or lose contact without reason.

"Mr. Fu, could it be Zhao Zhengrong..."

Before Liu Zhen finished speaking, Fu Ruoshi's face suddenly changed and he immediately called Wen Zhixia.

There was the sound of keys outside the door.

The moment he saw Wen Zhixia come in, Fu Ruoshi breathed a sigh of relief.

"Assistant Liu?" Wen Zhixia asked, "What's wrong? What happened?"

Fu Ruoshi said, "I can't contact Yonglin anymore."

"what?!"

The breakfast in Wen Zhixia's hand almost slipped and was caught by Fu Ruoshi.

"Liu Zhen, let's do this for now." He placed his breakfast back on the table and instructed, "Go inform the Fu Group's senior executives to be careful on their way to and from get off work these days. If you see anything suspicious, call the police immediately. Also, send someone to search the entire city for Yonglin's whereabouts. The last time I contacted him was yesterday morning at nine o'clock. Start the search from then on."

At this moment, Fu Ruoshi had already guessed that the Zhao family wanted to force him to release the person by controlling Fu's people.

If each of them had a bargaining chip in their hands now, he would definitely not let Zhao Xiaoning go.

"Okay, Mr. Fu, we'll send someone to check it out right now." Liu Zhen understood, nodded and left.

After he left, Wen Zhixia asked nervously, "Is Yonglin in danger? Should we call Zhao Zhengrong to negotiate?"

"What the hell are you talking about? They've already overturned the table." Fu Ruoshi took the soy milk and rice balls she bought and ate them in big mouthfuls. As he ate, he said, "Hurry up and see if the wound on my shoulder is broken. Why does it hurt so much?"

Wen Zhixia took a quick look and saw that there was indeed bleeding. His blood coagulation function was not good, so it was difficult to stop even the slightest bleeding.

"I'll help you deal with it after you finish eating. Don't worry, we'll think of a way to solve it."

Fu Ruoshi pondered, looking at Zhao Zhengrong's phone number on the mobile phone page, tapping the table with his fingers, thinking about how to negotiate.

During this period of time, he was concentrating on protecting Wen Zhixia. Unexpectedly, the other party's target was not Wen Zhixia, but Fu Yonglin, who was so low-key and gentle that he was somewhat ignored.

Now he is at a disadvantage. If he wants to protect Yonglin, he cannot touch Zhao Xiaoning at all, but he cannot let Zhao Xiaoning go either, otherwise his only card will be gone.

"Zhao Zhengrong is going to take a big gamble." Fu Ruoshi said, gritting his teeth.

"Why did they arrest Brother Yonglin?" Wen Zhixia asked him, "What important information does Brother Yonglin have?"

Fu Ruoshi recalled, "Yonglin had just returned to China and didn't hold a position of real power within Fu's company. In fact, many people outside of Fu's company didn't even know he existed, and his current work didn't involve the company's core secrets."

"You mean, they might want Fu's secrets?" Wen Zhixia followed his line of thought and continued to analyze, "They want to give them a taste of their own medicine and use some dirty laundry to threaten you?"

Fu Ruoshi continued, "My uncle and Fu Keming did have a feud back then, but that was an internal struggle that every family can't avoid. It didn't involve a matter of principle. And as far as I know, the three generations of the Fu family have been in business and have never had any issues of principle. Even if they fabricated it, it would be self-defeating."

The issues of principle he was referring to were serious matters like pornography, gambling, drugs, and treason. Wen Zhixia listened and then ruled it out, "Without issues of principle, they won't get anything from Yonglin. So, wouldn't that be the simplest and most terrifying method you mentioned? After all, they're a group of people with no bottom line."

Fu Ruoshi tightened his grip on the cup.

He agreed very much with what Wen Zhixia said.

The biggest disadvantage of the Fu family now is that they have always had an uncompromising bottom line and cannot do anything too despicable.

"They want to negotiate with me by torturing Yonglin," Fu Ruoshi said, "If I don't agree, they will do anything."

Wen Zhixia nodded, "But the difficulty is, if we let them do this, then there will be thousands of Fu's employees. Today they'll threaten you, tomorrow they'll threaten you, and after torturing and abusing everyone, they'll then ask you for favors. Wouldn't that mean they'll completely understand your weaknesses?"

"You're right," Fu Ruoshi agreed deeply. "We absolutely cannot open this loophole. We will definitely not let Zhao Xiaoning go, and we must ensure that Yonglin is not harmed."

The two looked at each other, struggling internally.

This is a very difficult question.

He couldn't let Zhao Xiaoning go, nor could he let Yonglin get hurt. He also had to stick to his bottom line and not do the same dirty things as them.

We must also be on an equal footing with them and not be at a disadvantage when negotiating bargaining chips.

If the bottom line is crossed, the Fu family can just capture someone from there and torture him, use threats and inducements, but by the same token, once the door is opened, it will become a black mark that the Fu family can never erase.

unless......

Wen Zhixia and Fu Ruoshi looked at each other.

Think differently.

It doesn't hurt people, but it can threaten them.

Fu Ruoshi slammed the table and said, "Raise the stakes."

Wen Zhixia: "Recruit people to join us!"

Although they spoke in unison, they understood each other's thoughts the moment the words came out.

Fu Ruoshi held Wen Zhixia's face and kissed her, "How do you understand me so well?"

"It was you who installed a surveillance camera in my stomach!" Wen Zhixia pushed him away.

The two of them thought of the same thing.

Since we cannot cross the moral bottom line and cannot allow ourselves to be bullied, the best way to have the best of both worlds is to drag more people into it.

Fu Ruoshi called Han Zhuojun.

"Hey……"

Han Zhuojun's voice was muffled, obviously he had just woken up.

"Ruo Shi?" He regained consciousness. "Brother! Are you okay? Why didn't you reply to my message? I thought you were hacked to death!"

"Yes, I'm going to die soon," Fu Ruoshi said jokingly, "Before I die, I want to organize a party to say goodbye to the second and third generations of Jincheng. Please help me find a big place, quickly."
