After Prison, She Shocks the World
Chapter 35 Fu Bing’s Trap

Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Fu Bing’s Trap

Qin Jinhai switched his tone. "Not everyone is as true to themselves as Madam Xiaosu, always needing to show face even in places like this. Isn’t the stage the Su Family gave you large enough for your posturing?"

"Mind your own business!" Li Hua retorted. "Give me back that bitch!"

"You traded someone destined to die for ten billion, Madam Xiaosu. You struck an incredible bargain, yet you come to me specifically to act innocent?"

Li Hua wasn’t foolish. "If that bitch stays alive, she’ll cause trouble sooner or later!"

"Then why didn’t you take advantage of the chaos on the fighting stage just now to kill her? Afraid of having blood on your hands, or afraid Mr. Xiaosu would blame you?"

"That’s my affair. As for the ten billion, I..."

Li Hua looked with a pang of regret at the ten billion that was almost hers, unable to bring herself to say she’d return it.

Qin Jinhai glanced at Li Hua, wondering what Fu Bing had said or done to her in the hallway.

Qin Jinhai said, "I’m going to watch the show now. You may go, Madam Xiaosu."

Li Hua could be arrogant toward people like Han Hu and Fu Bing, but she dared not act recklessly with those whose depths she couldn’t fathom.

Even though she was unwilling, she didn’t dare to stay any longer.

No sooner had Qin Jinhai sat down than a man dressed in black appeared silently in the private room.

"Young Master, we still haven’t discovered where Qin Sheng obtained his information about Fu Bing’s origins."

Qin Jinhai waved his hand. "Qin Sheng’s channels are complex; it’s not surprising we can’t find out. Has the password to his study been cracked yet?"

"We’ve cracked half of it."

"Continue."

"Yes, sir."

The man in black disappeared quickly.

Qin Jinhai watched the farce on the fighting stage.

Five years ago, he had founded this place.

It was to investigate Fu Bing’s origins. Although Fu Bing’s origins remained undiscovered, he had ended up learning the secrets of most people in Jiangcheng.

The only exception was his own father, Qin Sheng.

The many hidden resources and connections Qin Sheng had inherited from the Qin Family were beyond Qin Jinhai’s expectations.

Without those resources hidden in the shadows, the Qin Family wouldn’t have remained standing for so many years.

Furthermore, that old fox hid himself too well.

Even his study was rigged with hundreds of cameras, triggering an alarm if anyone other than Qin Sheng approached.

But even the most meticulous person has flaws. He refused to believe Qin Sheng didn’t have any!

"Mu He!"

"Boss." Mu He appeared like a shadow behind Qin Jinhai.

"You will follow Fu Bing from now on."

"Yes." Mu He had no objections.

"Mu Lin has been visiting Imperial Garden frequently. Since you’ll be by Fu Bing’s side, you might occasionally catch a glimpse of him."

"Thank you, Boss."

Qin Jinhai left swiftly and returned to his car.

Fu Bing was in the car, administering acupuncture to Han Hu.

Han Hu’s eyes were vacant, entirely devoid of the will to live.

Fu Bing said, "Are you content to die like this? Instead of dying in humiliation, you should be thinking about how to survive and eliminate those who harmed you!"

Han Hu’s body shuddered. Her pupils dilated as she stared at the woman with ordinary features before her.

"Who... who are you? Why are you saving me?"

"Because I took pity on you, and because you are valuable to me."

Fu Bing continued the acupuncture.

Though Han Hu was very weak, Fu Bing could sense her will to live returning.

If a patient doesn’t want to live, even the most skilled doctor can’t save them.

Qin Jinhai sat in the driver’s seat, driving silently.

He couldn’t help but think: he had sent He Bo and Nanny Ning to her, and they had become her family. Fu Xiaomei, whom she had saved, had also become her sister. What would Han Hu become?

Li Hua returned to the Su Family’s separate courtyard, furious.

Li Qing came to greet her. She had been hiding at Li Hua’s place during this time, not daring to go home.

"I sent that slut to be bedded by someone," Li Hua said, accepting the water Li Qing handed her. "I originally wanted her dead, but someone intercepted her at the last moment."

"Someone saved her?"

"Bought her for ten billion."

Li Qing had also become shrewder recently. "Is the other party planning to use her against Brother-in-law? Otherwise, how could Han Hu possibly be worth ten billion?"

"That’s what I think too. Don’t tell anyone else about this. If your brother-in-law can’t find Han Hu, he’ll eventually quiet down."

"But he’ll have other women. Are you going to deal with every single one of them?"

"I don’t mind him playing around with women, but developing feelings is out of the question." Li Hua still vividly remembered the divorce agreement on Su He’s desk. It offered her two billion to leave the Su Family. She had borne him a son, given him an heir, and this was how it was ending. Resentment brewed in Li Hua’s heart.

Li Qing nodded.

Li Hua said, "The matter with Han Hu is more or less settled for now. How do you plan to deal with Fu Bing?"

"Should we auction her off too? Let other men sleep with her. Even if she doesn’t die, she’ll be too ashamed to ever appear before Qin Jinhai again."

"Always Qin Jinhai," Li Hua cursed irritably. "He’s related to you by blood; your fondness for him is useless. More importantly, he doesn’t like you."

"Then what should I do? I just like him."

Li Hua had a headache. "I advise you to give up on that idea. You can’t marry Qin Jinhai or Qin Jinmo. Your aunt won’t let you get near her two sons."

"She just married into a wealthy family herself and doesn’t give a damn about her own relatives’ welfare. If she had been willing to lend a hand, our Li Family wouldn’t be in such a miserable state."

Li Hua didn’t reply.

Li Qing had been too young at the time to remember how the Li Family had treated Li Yuan.

But Li Hua remembered clearly.

It was already generous of Li Yuan not to have Qin Sheng completely destroy the Li Family.

Because of this, few people in Jiangcheng knew that she and Li Qing were Qin Jinhai’s maternal cousins.

"Let’s not get sidetracked. Let’s talk about how to deal with Fu Bing. Killing her would be difficult, but there are plenty of ways to disgust her and make her miserable."

"If we don’t eliminate her, she’ll retaliate against me once she has the power," Li Qing said anxiously.

"Then just make sure she never has the power to retaliate." Li Hua glanced around. The servants were all keeping their distance. Only then did she say, "She’s currently in the pharmaceutical business. If you sabotage her medicine, her reputation will be ruined. Then, plenty of people will be ready to deal with her."

"That’s a good idea. Are there any others?"

Li Qing still wanted to take matters into her own hands.

Li Hua knew she wasn’t satisfied with this plan and continued, "Su Kexin complains endlessly about Fu Bing to me; she clearly has a huge issue with her. Su Kexin isn’t too bright. You could use her to deal with Fu Bing and even cause internal conflict in the main branch of the family. I can also take advantage of the chaos to get some of their resources."

"I’ll go find Su Kexin tomorrow."

"Wait a few days. Let Su Kexin stir up enough trouble for the main branch to make them miserable first, then you go."

Li Qing didn’t understand why, but she obediently agreed.

Seeing Li Qing was still clueless and clearly hadn’t grasped the subtleties, Li Hua didn’t waste any more words on her and went upstairs to see Xiaobao.

Xiaobao lay in his crib, his small, chubby hands batting at a little bell hanging above him.

The tinkling of the bell made him giggle.

A smile immediately appeared on Li Hua’s face as she bent down to pick up Xiaobao.

This was her precious treasure, the key to her standing in the Su Family.

She had to dote on him properly.

"Mama’s precious little treasure, let Mama give you a kiss."

The moment she picked him up, Xiaobao burst into tears.

His wails echoed throughout the entire separate courtyard.

Su He’s car had just parked in the courtyard’s garage when he heard the child’s crying. His face immediately filled with anger.

"What are you all good for, letting my son cry like this so late at night?"

The servants all felt like they’d been kicked in the stomach and didn’t dare to make a sound.

Su He stormed into the house indignantly.

Li Qing stood up and timidly called out, "Brother-in-law."

Su He glanced at her face and chest but didn’t respond, quickly striding upstairs.
