in a hurry just now. Didn't you know, Madam"Fu Xiaoyao managed a strained smile, her eyes clearly showing disappointment, "He didn't tell me...""Perhaps he had something urgent to attend to and could..."What" Father Fu and Mother Fu were dumbfounded, unable to recover for a long time.

Lu Hanchuan leaned forward slightly, gazing at them like an emperor looking down upon his subjects, "Do you know why I had people bring you here"

Father Fu and Mother Fu shook their heads in terror.

Lu Hanchuan encircled his arms, "Because I want to know, who is Fu Xiaoyao's daughter"

He asked that way on purpose, just to probe the couple's hearts and see if they were truly clean.

"Whose daughter..." Father Fu and Mother Fu looked at each other, then Mother Fu nervously spoke, "Son-in-law..."

"Shut up, I'm not your son-in-law!" Lu Hanchuan snarled with a gloomy face.

Formerly, he denied being the son-in-law of this couple, and even more so afterward.

Mother Fu was startled by Lu Hanchuan's roar, her body trembled, and she paled, clamping her lips shut.

Lu Hanchuan was too lazy to look at her, turning his gaze to Fu's father, "You tell me, who is Fu Xiaoyao's daughter!"

Father Fu met his icy gaze and trembled involuntarily, but he was much more composed than Mother Fu. At the very least, he wouldn't be speechless with fear. "I... We don't know either. That woman didn't tell us about her identity."

"A woman" Lu Hankan narrowed his eyes.

Father Fu nodded, "Yes."

"What's that woman's name" Lu Hánchuan asked in a low voice.

Father Fu thought about it for a while, but couldn't remember. He nudged Mother Fu beside him.

Mother Fu quickly replied, "Ye Lan, her name is Ye Lan!"

Yelan!

Lu Hanchuan's face changed slightly.

Indeed, she is Qi Dongming's ex-wife.

"So how did you two meet Ye Lan And how did Fu Xiaoyao become your daughter" Lu Hanchuan gripped the armrests of his chair.

Father Fu dared not conceal anything, and hurriedly recounted the events of that year. "That year, my wife and I went to the hospital for a check-up. On the way, we encountered a car accident. A sedan hit a pregnant woman, who was covered in blood. We were terrified and hid on the roadside, too afraid to come out..."

"Why are you afraid to come out" Lu Hanchuan sensed something was wrong with these words, his brows furrowed tightly.

Mother Fu replied: "Because we saw that small car deliberately hit the pregnant woman. After the pregnant woman was knocked down, someone from the car came down to check if she was still alive."

"Yes, yes, yes. That man checked it out and even made a phone call, but we were too far away to hear much. All we heard was him say that the mission was complete, the person was taken care of. We were worried he'd discover we were involved in the killing, so we didn't dare come out." Said Father Fu.

Even though it happened over twenty years ago, just thinking about it still sends chills down my spine.

Lu Hanchuan's heart surged with a stormy wave of unease. "What then"

"After that, the car drove away. We went to check on the pregnant woman. We thought she was really dead like that person said, but surprisingly, she was still alive and begged us to save her child. We didn't want to help at first." Speaking up to here, Fu's father's voice became much weaker.

Lu Hanchuan's temples throbbed impatiently, he coldly spat out a word, "Speak!"

Father Fu swallowed nervously and continued, “The pregnant woman said that if we saved her child, she would give us 200,000 yuan. We had never seen so much money before, so we immediately agreed and sent her to the hospital, but unfortunately...”

"It's a pity she had such bad luck," Mrs. Fu continued, "The child died three days after birth. After that, there was just the baby. We didn't know her identity, so we raised the child because my husband and I hadn't had any children at the time."

“There’s more to it than that,” Lu Hanchuan crossed his legs, his voice cold and indifferent. “I’m afraid you saw Ye Ran casually take out 200,000 yuan, and guessed she wasn’t an ordinary person, so you thought of raising Fu Xiaoyao, waiting for her to return to her ancestral home and then demand a large sum as alimony. Am I right”

"This..." Both Fu's father and mother's faces stiffened.

Lu Hanchuan saw their expressions and knew he was right. Disgust clouded his face, "Where is Ye Lan's body"

"He was cremated, and his ashes have been kept at the funeral home ever since. The storage period is twenty-five years, and it should be expiring soon." Fu's father replied.

Lu Hanchuan stood up, "For raising Fu Xiaoyao all these years, I won't do anything to you two. However, you've abused her since she was young, and I can't just let that slide. The karma you've created, your son will have to bear it. After all, he hasn't been kind to her either."

"You... what do you want to do to Zixuan" Fu's mother, upon hearing her son was going to suffer, immediately became frantic.

Although Fu's father didn't speak, his eyes also showed great worry.

Lu Hanchuan coldly curled his lips, "Rest assured, I won't do anything that will take a life, but crippling a hand is still possible. This hand is your compensation for Fu Xiaoyao. From now on, she has nothing to do with your Fu family anymore. She doesn't owe you anything, and you shouldn't bother her again."

"No!" Mrs. Fu pounded her thigh repeatedly, crying and shouting: "President Lu, you can't do this! After all, Zixuan and Xiao Yao are siblings, you can't be so heartless!"

"Me" Lu Hanchuan pursed his lips expressionlessly. "If you had ever treated her well, I wouldn't have to do this to you. Alright, I give you two choices: put Fu Zixuan in jail, or make him lose a hand. You choose."

"Father..." Fu Mother grasped Father's arm helplessly, gesturing for him to think of a solution.

Father Fu was a man, much calmer than Mother Fu. At this moment, he was struggling with how to choose.

Lu Hanchuan waited for about a minute, but still didn't get a result. He began to get impatient and put his hands in his pockets, speaking coldly, "There's one more thing I want to tell you all, Fu Zixuan not only has a gambling record, but also a history of drug use. Once he goes to jail, it will be at least ten years, so..."

"He can't go to jail!" Fu's father interrupted loudly, his expression full of panic. "We can't let Zixuan go to jail."

With a ten-year start, what kind of future does Zi Xuan have

"Looks like you've chosen to let Fu Zixuan keep only one hand, then" Lu Hanchuan raised an eyebrow.

Father Fu closed his eyes and nodded solemnly, "Losing a hand is better than going to jail. Maybe I won't gamble anymore after this."

"Old man you..."

Mother Fu was about to speak, but Father Fu grabbed her arm and shook his head at her warningly.

Mother Fu had never seen her father so serious. She was immediately frightened and swallowed the words she hadn't finished speaking.

Lu Hanchuan, seeing their understanding, gave them a slight nod of approval. "Since that's the case, you may leave now. But remember, don't contact Fu Xiaoyao again in the future, or beware of Fu Zixuan's other hand."

"Yes, yes, yes." Father Fu said with a wrinkled face, hastily responding.

Lu Hanchuan waved his hand, and Qiao Mu, who had been acting as an invisible person all along, stepped forward. He grabbed the collars of both men with one hand and pulled them out.

Moments later, Qiao Mu returned, "President Lu, I've had them sent back. I also sent someone to handle Fu Zixuan's side."

"Hmm." Lu Hanchuan nodded, indicating that he understood.

Joe stood behind him, suddenly feeling, "I never expected it. The lady's background turned out to be like this. No wonder Qi Dongming didn't hold Ye Lan's funeral back then. It turns out the body wasn't in his hands at all."

Lu Hánchuan's eyes flickered, "What I want to know now is, was Ye Lan's car accident caused by Qí Dōngmíng, or Lò Níng, or did they collude to do it together"tly at Lu Hanchuan, seemingly guessing his thoughts. A faint glimmer flashed in his eyes behind the lenses. 。 He's being cautious about him! It makes sense, any man would be wary. 。Thinking about i...
