Chapter 391: Fu Ye: Be in Imperial City before dawn!

couldn't hold on any longer. Her eyelids drooped, and she leaned against the sofa and fell asleep.Shen Lue was already stalling for time, and seeing the little girl fall asleep, he let out a sigh of r...The sky gradually darkened.

The pale moonlight streamed in through the panoramic floor-to-ceiling windows, casting a chill over the pitch-black office as if a layer of frost had settled within.

Unknowingly, it was already late at night.

The man sat motionless in the armchair like a sculpture, his fingers curled over the urn before suddenly rising to his feet. He reached for the safe, opened it, and placed the urn inside. He locked it with a heavy thud.

With distinctly articulated fingers supporting the vault door, he took a deep breath and turned away.

The moment the door swung open, a force slammed into me with sudden impact.

"Uncle."

Fu Lingxiao was startled, "Baby, how did you come here Didn't I tell you to wait for me at home"

Mu Xing held his slender waist with one hand and looked up at him, "You haven't come back all day. I called the bodyguards, and they said you didn't leave the office and didn't even eat. I was a little worried."

Fu Lingxiao raised his stiff hand and rubbed the back of her neck, saying softly, "There's been too much work piled up lately, and I accidentally got busy until so late."

Mu Xing's gaze fell on the man's eyes, her heart filled with suspicion.

The bodyguard told her, "Your uncle is a one-man show in the office. Your uncle can't see; how does he work"

Fu Lingxiao disappeared at noon again, but this time he could keenly feel the little girl sizing him up.

He tried his best to maintain a calm demeanor, reached out and held Mu Xing's hand, "Let's go home."

"You haven't eaten all day, I brought you some food. Eat it and then go back."

Mu Xing pulled the man into the office. Before she could even turn on the lights, he shoved her against the wall.

The door slammed shut.

Mu Xing was startled, "Uncle... Uh..."

Her thin lips were suddenly pressed against hers, the man's broad palm resting on the back of her head as he kissed her forcefully.

He tried to soothe the fear and pain in his heart this way, like drinking poison to quench his thirst, the more painful it was, the more brutal and overwhelming his kiss became.

The man's kiss carried the force of death, plundering her senses. Mu Xing only felt herself being pushed into the sea, suffocating and sinking.

I don't know how long it took, but the man finally stopped kissing her. He pulled her tightly into his arms and buried his head in her neck, "Baby, I'm fine, just a little tired. Let me hold you for a while."

Mu Xing could feel that her uncle's emotions were off.

But she didn't ask anything. He wouldn't tell her, even if she did. And the truth is, she wouldn't get a real answer anyway.

She adjusted her breath, her cheek pressed against the man's, her small hand caressing his head gently, silently comforting him.

My heart, however, ached with an unbearable bitterness.

Uncle Xiao was burdened with too much, he was too lonely.

If she's gone, what will Uncle do...

When I returned to the manor from the company, it was already late at night.

Mu Xing helped the man back to the bedroom, helped him take a bath, and snuggled into the bed and fell asleep.

Fu Lingxiao was wide awake. After Mu Xing fell asleep, he quietly got out of bed and went to his study.

The study was dark, a tall figure standing by the floor-to-ceiling window. Long fingers held a cigarette to his lips, inhaling and exhaling smoke.

The glass, tinged with the hues of night, reflected an expanse of desolation.

After finishing half a pack of cigarettes, Fu Lingxiao took out his phone.

The Technology Department had developed a system specifically for his phone that was tailored for the blind. According to voice prompts, he dialed Fu Jingmo's number.

Haicheng.

Fu Jingmo was awakened from his sleep, squinting at the caller ID and instantly losing all sleepiness.

Finally found him.

He picked up the phone and said in a lazy voice, "Calling me so late, big brother, you're missing me too much, aren't you"

Before dawn, get to the Imperial City!

On the other end of the phone, a cold voice, as if infused with ice, uttered those words before abruptly ending the call.

Fu Jingmo naturally knew that his elder brother wouldn't let him off, going to the imperial capital would only be a dead end.

He wouldn't be foolish enough to go and die.

With his father around, he didn't believe that his older brother could reach Haicheng.

Fu Lingxiao stayed in the study until dawn, but received no news about Fu Jingmo. His patience exhausted, he called Zhao Jin...

- At noon, the assistant rushed to Fu Jingmo, "Mr. Fu, it's not good! All of our partner companies have unilaterally terminated their cooperation with us, and the breach of contract fees have already been paid!"

Moreover, all the hotels and entertainment businesses under the group were suddenly investigated. Orders were issued to suspend operations and rectify issues.

Fu Jingmo frowned, without having to guess, he knew it was his elder brother's handiwork.

This is just to force him to go to the Imperial City.

At this time, Fu Ci also hurried into the office, "I received a call that the cargo exported by sea was detained by customs. The customer is anxious to get this batch of goods. I have submitted an application for re-inspection, but it will take several days for the customs warehouse to re-inspect."

Fu Jingmo's brows furrowed even deeper.

The Group suffered a major cyberattack recently, which severely damaged its operations. It has yet to fully recover.

Big brother's actions dealt Mingyan a devastating blow.

Fu Ci noticed Fu Jingmo's unusual expression, letting the assistant go out first, and then asked Fu Jingmo: "In just half a day, so many things happened to the group. Obviously, someone is against us. Do you know anything about it"

"You don't need to worry, I'll figure something out."

Fu Jingmo finished speaking, then lowered his head and busied himself.

Fu Ci didn't say anything else, and turned to leave.

Three days have passed in the blink of an eye.

The crisis has seen no easing, with the Mingyan Group completely shutting down and its stock price plummeting.

Even his private property was not spared.

Fu Jingmo was in a predicament, he really didn't expect that his elder brother's influence was so great, now both domestically and internationally, no company dared to cooperate with Mingyan.

If this continues, all that awaits them is bankruptcy.

Now, his father must be terribly disappointed in him...

Fu Jingmo impatiently swept away everything on his desk, various items scattered everywhere. A pen on the floor rolled to the door and was stepped on by a pair of high heels.

Fu Ci stood coldly at the doorway, looking at him, "Big brother would never have taken action against Ming Yan before, what did you do to make him so furious"

She had found out that it was her elder brother who attacked Mingyan.

The reason is only Fu Jingmo.

Fu Jingmo's cold and sharp face was filled with despair. He knew he couldn't hide it anymore, so he truthfully said: "I didn't mean to, I accidentally injured Mu Xing."

Is it because of that girl…

Fu Ci's cold expression moved slightly, and she said coldly: "Get up! Come with me to the Imperial City and apologize to my elder brother."

"Don't go!"

Fu Jingmo strongly refused.

He was not afraid of death, but he was unwilling to give up. He hadn't brought down the big brother yet, and he couldn't possibly bow down to him!

Fu Ci walked to Fu Jingmo, stepping over the mess on the floor. She grabbed his collar and pulled him up, "Keep Mingyan safe, then you have the capital to continue fighting with your brother, understand" about life or death.But even if he found his way back, he couldn't possibly find that cripple."I don't know what you're talking about, if there's nothing, please get out."Dr. He spoke calmly, sitting...
