Chapter 276: Will Be of Great Use Later

He only temporarily agreed, hung up, and Shen Shu felt utterly weak.

Where could he go to find so much money?

Even for his own pride, he wouldn't choose to approach President Fu…

Shen Shu squeezed his thigh hard at that moment and finally managed to dial the number.

"Why are you looking for me so late at night?" Fu Zhuo had long anticipated this moment, but didn't expect it to come so quickly.

Shen Shu gritted his teeth hard, his whole nervous system taut.

After half a day of mental preparation, in the end he gave up his own resolve for his family.

"Sir, you promised me this afternoon that you'd agree to any request I make; are you still keeping that promise?"

Fu Zhuo was clearly a bit surprised, but quickly guessed that a major incident must have occurred, causing Shen Shu to agree so readily.

"Of course, as long as it's within my power, I will do everything I can to help you."

Shen Shu took a deep breath; Fu Zhuo could clearly hear his breathing on the other end.

"I need five million; sir, can you transfer it to me now?"

Shen Zeyu still doesn't know what's going on; as soon as Shen Shu thinks of his mother's sobbing on the phone, he can't think any further.

"We can transfer the money to you right now; as for your future salary, it will be increased by twenty percent over the existing Fu Clan baseline."

Fu Zhuo promptly and decisively agreed to Shen Shu's request.

"However, I have one condition: I cannot resign from the Fu Clan, I will not leave President Fu's side, and I will not agree to anything that could harm President Fu himself. If you can accept this condition, then here's to a pleasant cooperation."

Facing life, Shen Shu was left with only a sliver of resolve.

Fu Zhuo fully accepted his resolve.

"If you can think that way, of course it's best; staying by A Jue's side, you can give me any intelligence I want."

Fu Zhuo hadn't expected the results to be this good at first.

Shen Shu will become one of his pieces, one of the most important pieces in this game.

"Starting tomorrow, I'll give you whatever information you want."

After speaking, Shen Shu, as if unable to accept his own betrayal, abruptly hung up.

His eyes were filled with pain.

He once thought he would be loyal to Fu Sijue for life, but now everything has changed.

His resolve seemed meaningless, yet became Fu Zhuo's sharpest knife.

From now on, he will act as a henchman for the tiger…

The next day, Shen Shu arrived at the office with huge dark circles under his eyes; Fu Sijue gave him a glance.

"Because of family matters?"

Shen Shu's eyes widened instantly, as if he hadn't expected Fu Sijue to guess so accurately.

"Last night, there was a casino on your side clearing accounts; among those inside was your brother, as the dark‑web informant told me."

Shen Shu bowed his head in shame, "I'll handle it properly; it won't affect the company, President Fu."

Shen Shu's attitude evidently surprised Fu Sijue as well.

"The money has already been sent to your account; those people are hard to deal with, so first rescue your brother."

Fu Sijue said lightly, delivering a heavy blow to Shen Shu's heart.

"President Fu, you don't need to…"

"How long have we known each other? You have no achievements but you have hard work; consider this your bonus. Just work well for the company from now on, and you may leave."

Shen Shu's mouth twitched, but in the end he said nothing.

He stepped out of the president's office, his steps feeling weightless.

Some matters are better left unknown to President Fu.
