After Prison, She Shocks the World-Chapter 62: Three Billion for Fu Bing

Gu Yazheng received the news and immediately called Fu Ning.

"Did you also give Zhou Zhizhuo money and a house?"

Fu Ning yelled back irritably, "If it weren’t for my efforts to send the house and gifts to President Zhou and his wife, how could your hospital secure the three-billion-yuan loan? Now, the three billion has been confirmed for disbursement. Your entire Gu Family should thank me."

"Zhou Zhizhuo has been taken away, and the people who gave him things have also been taken for interrogation. Be prepared; you might be next."

"This... can’t be. I was playing cards with Mrs. Zhou just yesterday."

"She has already divorced Zhou Zhizhuo. He spilled everything about her and Old Man Wu; she has also been taken in for interrogation," Gu Yazheng said, his head throbbing with anger. "Fu Ning, you better watch out for yourself."

Fu Ning simply couldn’t believe it.

Everything was fine yesterday. How could it all change after just one night’s sleep?

Fu Ning called Mrs. Zhou. At first, there was no answer, and later the calls wouldn’t go through at all.

She opened the group chat with her card-playing friends.

"Zhou Zhizhuo’s arrest is a done deal, and he has implicated many people. What do we do? We’ve given them a lot of money over the years."

"We need to act quickly and clear ourselves of any suspicion."

"..."

The more Fu Ning read the messages, the more frightened she became. She hurried back to the Gu Family.

Gu Sining was still in her room, recovering.

Fu Ning angrily pulled her up. "I’m your mother, and I’m about to be imprisoned, yet you still have the nerve to sleep! Quickly call your dad and ask him to clear my name. Otherwise, if I end up in prison, you’ll have a stepmother, and neither you nor your brother will have any good days ahead."

Gu Sining turned pale with fright. "What did you do?"

"Is this the time to ask that? Hurry up and make the call!"

Gu Sining, still a student, had experienced little.

She picked up her cellphone.

"Don’t make the call!"

Gu Si’an’s voice came from the doorway.

Fu Ning said angrily, "All my hard work was for you! How can you stand by and watch me suffer?"

"You know very well who all your deeds were for. Which of the family properties are in my or my sister’s name? Which are in Dad’s name?"

Gu Si’an stared at Fu Ning. "Not a single house or car is in our names! They’re all in your hands and your maternal family’s. The Gu Family’s reputation as the wealthiest was also a diversion for your maternal family. At a time like this, why aren’t you asking them for help instead of turning to us?"

"I should have strangled you both when you were born!" Fu Ning said hatefully.

Gu Si’an saw Gu Sining’s pale face, and his gaze towards Fu Ning grew even colder. "You constantly wish us dead, yet you expect my sister and me to be grateful to you?"

Fu Ning furiously trashed Gu Sining’s room.

Gu Si’an ignored her and led Gu Sining away.

Just as they went downstairs, a police car arrived.

Gu Si’an said, "She’s upstairs."

With that, he left with Gu Sining without looking back.

Gu Sining stared out the window in a daze. "Brother, why do we have a mother like her?"

"We must have committed too many sins in a past life," Gu Si’an remarked casually.

「 」

Ren Ye fully regained consciousness on the third day after his surgery.

Ren Zhi told him about the events of the past few days. freewebnøvel.coɱ

Ren Ye had him play the recording of Fu Bing’s livestream.

After watching it, Ren Ye asked Ren Zhi to bring him his phone.

When Jian Yao saw Ren Ye’s name, he said excitedly, "You’re awake? Was it Fu Bing who cured you?"

"We can talk about me later. Have you heard about Zhou Zhizhuo?"

"I have."

"I’m thinking of recommending you for his position."

Jian Yao wasn’t surprised. Many people coveted the position of President of Jiangnan Bank’s head office. Ren Ye wouldn’t offer it to him without conditions.

"What’s your condition?"

"Allocate the three billion yuan approved for Gu Yazheng to Fu Bing. The value she can bring far exceeds that three billion."

Jian Yao breathed a sigh of relief. "Your idea is exactly what my grandfather was thinking. Ever since he watched Fu Bing’s livestream, he’s been too excited to sleep, constantly urging me to take him to meet her. We’re at the high-speed train station now. Since you’re awake, please arrange for someone to pick us up."

"Have your assistant send me the exact arrival details, and I’ll arrange everything immediately."

"Do I really need to bother an assistant for such a trivial thing? Can’t I tell you myself? We arrive at 3:15 PM."

"I’ll have Ren Zhi personally drive to pick you up."

"That’s settled then. Now, try to arrange a dinner with Fu Bing. My grandfather can’t wait any longer!"

"I’ll try to get in touch with her."

Though he said he’d try, Ren Ye dialed Fu Bing’s mobile number directly.

Fu Bing had been incredibly busy these past few days, wishing she could clone herself.

Luckily, Qin Jinhai wasn’t physically around, though he called her every night before bed, whispering flirty nonsense that made her blush. Yet, the sound of his breathing through the phone made her shiver more than if he were actually there, clumsily touching her. Deeply spellbound by him, she would sometimes do embarrassing things under his seduction.

Cheng Shuangqing had rushed over from Jiangcheng, bringing her team to set up an initial platform for incubating film and television projects.

Regarding the technical aspects, Fu Bing had some reservations. While professional technicians would provide support, meaning she wouldn’t have to worry about that side, she still needed to clearly communicate her requirements. However, many problems could arise between outlining requirements and actual execution. As the central figure, she had a lot to manage in the early stages, especially since this platform was being built on her personal influence. Any issues would directly damage her image and impact.

While Fu Bing was busy, Wu Shi handed her a ringing phone.

Seeing an unfamiliar number without a contact name, Fu Bing answered with some confusion.

"Hello, this is Fu Bing."

"I’m Ren Ye. Thank you for treating my illness. I’m well now. A friend of mine in the medical field and I would very much like to meet you. Are you free tonight?"

"Since it’s President Ren’s invitation, I’ll definitely come. Also, I need to bring a friend. I hope you and your friend won’t mind?"

"Not at all. I’ll send you the address and time shortly."

"Thank you for the trouble."

Fu Bing handed the phone back to Wu Shi and said casually, "Accompany me to a dinner engagement tonight."

Wu Shi nodded and went off to tend to his own matters.

Ren Ye’s choice to appoint Jian Yao to Zhou Zhizhuo’s position was, in fact, consistent with another’s intentions. Jian Yao’s background was perfect: coming from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners and being a leader in the banking system, he could greatly assist Fu Bing in pursuing her vision.

After settling his father on the high-speed train, Jian Yao messaged Qin Jinhai: "Everything went smoothly. I’ll go to Jiangnan and keep an eye on your Xiaomei for you, make sure nobody sweeps her off her feet."

Qin Jinhai lowered his eyes. She was his woman. He had to be the one to walk every path with her.

「8 PM.」

Fu Bing and Wu Shi arrived on time at Jingyun Hotel. It was one of the many top-rated hotels managed by Ren Ye.

As soon as Fu Bing entered the top floor, she saw Ren Zhi.

"Miss Fu, Mr. Wu, please come this way," Ren Zhi said, leading them to their seats.

The rooftop restaurant had only their party as guests tonight.

Although over ninety, Elder Jian was rosy-cheeked and full of spirit.

The moment he saw Fu Bing, he excitedly stood up. "Miss Fu, you look even better in person than on TV!"

"You flatter me, Elder Jian. I’m very grateful for your encouragement during the livestream that day. It gave me the courage to act on my ideas."

"You’re just too modest! These days, overly modest people don’t get far. You need to toot your own horn a bit, otherwise, no one will know what you’re capable of," Elder Jian said with a chuckle.

"I’ll do my best!"

After the elder and the young woman exchanged pleasantries, everyone else introduced themselves.

Throughout this, Ren Ye’s gaze remained tenderly fixed on Fu Bing’s face.

Noticing his gaze, Fu Bing nodded politely and took the initiative. "President Ren, if it’s convenient after dinner, I would like to invite you for tea."

Everyone understood that the "tea" was merely a pretext.
