After seeing everything that was happening online, Fang Yingying was so furious she nearly fainted.
"These people! How dare they turn against me? How dare they betray me?"
She was livid.
Her original plan had been to ruin Xu Yifei's reputation, making her infamous and leaving her with no place in the entertainment industry.
Who would have thought that the person now being flooded with insults and calls to "get out of show business" would be her, Fang Yingying?
At that moment, she truly understood what it meant to try to steal a chicken only to lose the rice used as bait.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
"Daddy, look at these people! You have to teach them a lesson and help me get justice! Ah—"
Unwilling to accept defeat, Fang Yingying was about to throw herself into Xu Jiawei's arms, acting cute and trying to persuade him to stand up for her and turn the situation around.
To her shock, the moment she approached him, Xu Jiawei shoved her away and slapped her hard across the face.
"Daddy! What are you doing? You hit me?!"
Fang Yingying stared at him with wide eyes, utterly stunned.
She had never imagined that Xu Jiawei—who had always doted on her—would actually hit her.
He had slapped her!
"I hit you because you deserve it, you little bitch!"
"Why didn't you tell me this involved Fu Yuheng, the richest man in the country, and the entire Fu family?"
"You shameless slut! This time you've gotten me killed!"
Xu Jiawei roared in fury.
He slapped her several more times before storming out, not sparing her another glance.
At that moment, panic filled his heart.
As an elderly businessman, Xu Jiawei had never paid much attention to the entertainment industry. Naturally, he didn't know much about Fu Shan.
He had vaguely heard that the Fu family of the capital had finally found their long-lost biological son.
But who would have guessed...
That son was Fu Shan.
And Fu Shan was Xu Yifei's boyfriend—someone who loved her with all his heart.
Which meant that, by extension, he had offended not only Fu Shan, but also the richest man in the country and the entire Fu family.
Just thinking about it gave Xu Jiawei a headache.
Then another thought occurred to him.
He wasn't some nobody.
He had influential backers of his own, and he'd built today's status through years of effort.
Surely the Fu family wouldn't dare act recklessly against him.
With that thought, he smiled confidently and quickly regained his composure.
Just then, his phone suddenly rang.
The caller ID showed it was his trusted assistant, Zhao.
Frowning slightly, Xu Jiawei answered.
"Hello, Xiao Zhao. What's the matter? Don't you know I'm on vacation? Why are you calling—"
Before he could finish, Assistant Zhao's anxious voice interrupted him.
"President Xu, this is bad! Something terrible has happened!"
"Unknown investors are buying up massive amounts of our company's shares. It looks exactly like a hostile takeover!"
"And every bank that does business with Xu Corporation has just informed us that they're terminating all future loans."
"They've also demanded that we repay all outstanding loans within a very short period of time."
"If we fail to do so, they'll immediately begin legal proceedings."
"President Xu... what should we do?"
Xu Jiawei's confident expression instantly disappeared.
"W-What?"
"What did you say?"
"Someone's attempting a hostile takeover of Xu Corporation?"
"And the banks have cut off all lending and are demanding immediate repayment?"
How could this happen?
Asking him what to do?
He had no idea what to do!
Were they trying to destroy him?
Trying to wipe out Xu Corporation?
On the other end, Assistant Zhao hesitated before asking quietly,
"President Xu... have you offended someone powerful?"
Xu Jiawei froze.
His expression became increasingly ugly as unease filled his heart.
Offended someone...
Besides offending the Fu family's young master...
Who else could it be?
Could all of this...
Really be retaliation from the richest man and the Fu family?
The thought sent a chill through him.
He suddenly had the terrifying feeling that his empire was about to collapse overnight.
This time...
Xu Jiawei was truly finished.

After finishing a scene, Fu Shan received a call from Zhou Qin.
"President Fu, everything has been carried out according to your instructions."
"We've already acquired a large amount of Xu Corporation's shares."
"We'll dump them all onto the market shortly."
"This time, Xu Corporation and Xu Jiawei will go bankrupt for sure."
"They'll go down miserably."
Zhou Qin reported calmly.
By now, he was already used to Fu Shan's extravagant methods.
And since this involved Xu Yifei, there was no way President Fu would simply let it go.
Once President Fu became angry...
Xu Corporation and Xu Jiawei could only prepare for disaster.

Fu Group Headquarters
President Fu Zici's Office
"President Fu, everything has been arranged."
"The major banks have all assured us they won't lend another cent to Xu Corporation or Xu Jiawei."
"They're also aggressively demanding repayment of all previous loans."
The assistant reported.
Indeed, it had been Fu Zici who orchestrated the banks' sudden tightening of credit.
She intended to destroy Xu Jiawei completely.
Anyone who dared bully her precious younger brother had to pay the price.
"As for acquiring Xu Corporation..."
"I don't think we'll need to make a move."
"Someone has already beaten us to it."
"They've purchased a huge number of Xu Corporation's shares and immediately dumped them on the market."
"The company's stock price is now crashing."
"I think Xu Corporation and Xu Jiawei are finished."
The assistant added.
Fu Zici raised an eyebrow.
"Oh?"
"Someone acted before us?"
"Who?"
So fast.
And so ruthless.
The assistant replied,
"President Fu, based on our investigation, it appears to be Young Master Fu Shan."
"The person handling everything is his trusted aide, Zhou Qin."
Fu Zici raised another eyebrow.
Her usually cold eyes showed a trace of amusement.
"So it was Fu Shan."
"Very good."
"As expected of my little brother."
"A true child of the Fu family."
She felt immensely gratified.
It seemed she had worried for nothing.
Her younger brother was decisive and capable.
He didn't need his older sister to deal with his enemies.
He could handle everything himself.
And make it look effortless.
Just as expected of her younger brother.
Fu Shan, of course, had no idea about either Fu Zici's satisfaction or Xu Jiawei's despair.
After listening to Zhou Qin's report, he merely responded with a faint,
"Mhm."
Then he calmly issued another order.
"Take care of Fang Yingying as well."
"I don't want that woman appearing in either my or Yifei's sight ever again."
