Chapter 301: You Can't Move Me

~4 min read 607 words

Fu Zhuo's complexion changed abruptly as he carefully mulled over Fu Sijue's words.

In front of so many people, he couldn't lose face… With that thought, Fu Zhuo suppressed the astonishment in his eyes and forced a calm demeanor.

"A Jue, I know you've been spoiled these years to the point of being reckless, but with so many watching, stop being willful."

With that simple act of willfulness, he hoped to cover up today's farce.

Fu Sijue, however, would not give him that chance.

"Since returning to the country, Uncle has been watchful everywhere, has put a lot of thought into Fu Clan's affairs, even hired someone to betray trade secrets—are you saying I did all that myself?"

Fu Sijue has never been a bodhisattva saving all beings; that day he mercifully spared the scapegoat merely to investigate thoroughly while Fu Zhuo was inattentive.

Who could have known that this investigation would uncover so many matters.

Fu Zhuo's eyes widened; although every word Fu Sijue said was true, he still felt compelled to argue his case.

"On what basis do you say that?"

"I'll publish the evidence later; Uncle, what are you afraid of?"

Fu Zhuo can mask the cracks in his expression well, but ultimately he cannot control his own body.

From Fu Sijue's perspective, Fu Zhuo trembled continuously whenever he lingered at his side.

Defeating him at the moment he believes he will succeed—that is Fu Sijue's best counter.

Fu Zhuo forced a smile, "I don't understand any of what you're saying… A Jue, if you still want to remain Fu Clan's CEO, just say so; why resort to these petty tricks?"

Their duel appeared especially tense to onlookers.

It also sparked heated discussion online.

Everyone wanted to know which of their statements were true.

Fu Sijue feigned regret, "Uncle also thinks this is a petty scheme."

He could, for his grandfather's sake, let Fu Zhuo off, or continue deceiving himself; after all they're family, why fuss over so much.

But Fu Zhuo has become so ruthless that even Fu Mingcheng is not spared; how could Fu Sijue possibly tolerate that?

Lu Xiwán laughed and clapped her hands as Shen Shu led a large group inside.

The moment he saw Shen Shu again, Fu Zhuo's expression changed instantly.

From disbelief to anger took only a few seconds.

"Fu Clan is cleaning up its ranks; everyone, please leave first."

Fu Sijue dropped that line, and Shen Shu politely escorted the media out.

Fu Zhuo stared at Fu Sijue with a venomous gaze, yet a hint of confusion lingered, clearly he hadn't figured it out yet.

Fu Sijue took Lu Xiwán's arm and sat below; though looking up at Fu Zhuo, his aura was not diminished at all.

"Uncle still can't believe?"

"Shen Shu is clearly already my man."

In just ten minutes, Fu Zhuo fell from the clouds into the mire, trampled harshly by reality, lacking even the courage to lift his head.

Fu Sijue looked on with pity, "Not everyone puts profit above all."

Moreover, Shen Shu has been by his side for so many years; their bond is something Fu Zhuo cannot sway.

"Uncle thinks he's already got eyes on me; under your very nose I won't make any moves."

Unfortunately, Fu Zhuo still underestimated Fu Sijue.

Having been entrenched in Haicheng for so many years, Fu Sijue's abilities have long surpassed his imagination.

"Uncle can send people to watch me, and I can likewise send people to watch Uncle."

It's just using his own methods against him; these low tactics, Fu Sijue also learned from Fu Zhuo.

Fu Zhuo slumped in his chair.
