Chapter 074: Deep Conspiracy
Qi Yu was crushed on the ground by the kidnappers, causing dull pain in the back of his head.
He couldn’t see Fu Yansheng, but he could hear Fu Yansheng constantly negotiating with them just a short distance away.
The man’s tone had eased a lot. From the initial warning tone, it has turned to earnest, benevolent persuasion. Saying these few words were also to buy time for everyone.
Wang Meng had arrived and so had the buidling’s security guards.
For a while, the two sides were in a stalemate. Who knows whether it was Fu Yansheng’s threats and persuasion that played a role, or whether they knew that it was already a lost cause, Qi Yu finally felt the restraint on him loosen.
Then there was confusion for a while. Those people were quickly dragged away from him. Fu Yansheng picked him up from the ground, and asked worriedly, “Are you okay?”
Qi Yu wanted to nod. But when he moved his head, he suddenly felt dizzy and his whole body shook without his control.
Fu Yansheng immediately took him into his arms and had him place half of his body against the other’s side.
“Why did you come down?” Qi Yu asked.
“How could I have not?” Fu Yansheng frowned, as though he’d asked a foolish question.
At first, Qi Yu really hadn’t wanted Fu Yansheng coming here. He was afraid of getting him involved in his dangerous situation.
But Fu Yansheng came and at this moment, Qi Yu felt glad. If Fu Yansheng hadn’t sent him a message at the time and hadn’t wisely informed the building’s security to close the parking lot, he might really have been taken away…
Qi Yu saw the two bodyguards standing to the side, at a loss. The tall, strong and honest Wang Meng was so frightened that he was breaking out into a cold sweat. His self-blame was so evident, he looked like he was sinking into himself.
The police and ambulance arrived one after the other and the kidnappers were all arrested.
The back of Qi Yu’s head wasn’t bleeding and there were only a few bruises on his body. But Fu Yansheng still rode the ambulance with him to go to the hospital for an examination.
During the period, Fu Yansheng called Secretary He and asked the other party to tell Qi Yuancheng about what had happened. Qi Yuancheng immediately returned the call, his tone extremely tense.
Although it turned out to be a failed attempt, Fu Yansheng still carefully explained to Qi Yuancheng the entire course of the incident.
The ambulance took them to a public hospital. The doctor said that Qi Yu’s injury was not serious and that he didn’t need to be hospitalized. However, there may be blood congestion on the back of his head. He’ll need to stay in bed for a few days after returning home.
Qi Yuancheng did not feel relieved when he learned about this. He asked Fu Yansheng to send Qi Yu to a private hospital — it was the one where Si Hang and Tang Weiye stayed after Qi Yu injured them before—Qi Yu underwent a full-body examination there and was forced to stay in the hospital. He was given anti- blood stasis medicine and a nutrient IV.
It may be because of the disturbance he’s encountered followed by being tossed about for an entire night, lying on the hospital bed after being given the IV, Qi Yu felt a little drowsy.
Before falling asleep, he was aware of Fu Yansheng sitting next to him, holding his hand, the string of jade Buddha beads on the other’s wrist exuding a shining light, like a protective magic weapon.
Qi Yu wanted to tell to Fu Yansheng about his experience of being kidnapped in his early years. He wanted to tell him about how the uncle who rescued him also wore a similar string of jade Buddha beads around his wrist. But maybe it was the shock or exhaustion, within minutes after closing his eyes, he fell sound asleep.

There was an orange night light bedside the bed, illuminating the man’s side profile. Qi Yu saw that his brows were slightly furrowed. There was only a thin blanket over his waist. He didn’t seem to be sleeping very soundly.
“Fu Yansheng…” Qi Yu called his name quietly.
Sure enough, the other party opened his eyes, got up and walked over. He turned the lamp’s brightness up a bit higher. “Where does it hurt?”
“I’m fine.” Qi Yu looked at him and asked, surprised, “You didn’t go back?”
The worry still hadn’t dispelled from Fu Yangsheng’s eyes. “You held my hand last night and refused to let go. How could I leave?”
Qi Yu: “……”
Fu Yansheng sat down beside him and asked, “Does the back of your head still hurt?”
Qi Yu: “It hurts a little when I lie on my back.”
Fu Yansheng felt his forehead and chuckled, “Then lie on your side and sleep for a while longer… It already wasn’t that brilliant in the first place, we mustn’t let it get hit and make it even less usable.”
Qi Yu was originally so touched by Fu Yansheng’s gesture of accompanying him throughout the night, but after the other’s words, he was immediately infuriated. How was this man able to make him love him one second and then hate him the next?
……
It was indeed still early. Qi Yu didn’t feel like brandishing his anger. He waved his hand impatiently to have Fu Yansheng retreat then went back to sleep wrapped in his quilt.
He woke up from this second bout of sleep at half-past seven, his usual working time.
Qi Yu had been planning to properly finish his last few days at work. But with what had happened, there was no longer any need for him to go to the office.
He opened his eyes. Seeing that the accompanying bed was empty, he instinctively sat up.
The VIP room had its own bathroom. Qi Yu heard the faint sound of running water coming from its direction and after a while, Fu Yansheng came out from it.
It seemed that he had just been washing his face. Fu Yansheng had his glasses in his hand. Qi Yu was momentarily stunned. Like this, the other party seemed to have a very soft and warm temperament…
But Fu Yansheng quickly put his glasses back on the bridge of his nose and focused his gaze on Qi Yu, restoring his calm and refined style.
“You’re up?” He just walked over and asked, “Are you feeling better?”
Qi Yu gave an “en” and asked, “Are you heading to work soon?”
“I’ll eat breakfast with you before I leave.” Fu Yansheng looked at him and said, “Can you get out of bed? Do you want me to help you go to the bathroom?”
Qi Yu: “…no need!”
Damn, he was just punched in the back of the head. He wasn’t crippled!
Fu Yansheng smiled, but he still came to help support him to get out of bed.
Breakfast was a nutritious meal prepared by the private hospital. During their meal, Fu Yansheng said, “Your dad will come to see you today.”
Qi Yu asked, “What did he say last night?”
Fu Yansheng: “He was so angry. I’m guessing that him not taking his anger out on me was already him giving me face.”
Qi Yu: “……”
Qi Yu asked him about the follow-up of the incident last night and learned that the kidnappers had been taken back to the police station for questioning. Soon they would know the mastermind behind it.
At half past eight, Fu Yansheng got up and went to work. He asked Qi Yu to call directly if there was anything and said that he would come back as soon as possible after finishing his work.
About two hours later, Qi Yuancheng came to the hospital just as Fu Yansheng said.
“Dad…” Qi Yu saw his father’s tired and anxious look, and felt a little guilty. After all, his father just told him yesterday to pay attention to his safety yesterday and the next thing he knows, he’s already met with an incident.
Qi Yuancheng didn’t reprimand him but he transferred his anger to the two bodyguards. “They follow you every day, so how come this kind of thing happened? It’s simply outrageous!”
“Don’t blame everything on them,” Qi Yu said in a low voice, “I didn’t expect those people to dare lay an ambush in a place like Fengmao.”
Moreover, he was late at calling Wang Meng last night. If he’d made the call in advance in Fu Yansheng’s office, maybe Wang Meng would already have been waiting for him at the elevator hall door. Maybe the two bodyguards would have also spotted the black clothed people in advance……
“This time, I was lucky to have Teacher Fu. He originally had to work overtime but decided to send me off at the last minute. After receiving my message, he made a timely response.” Qi Yu praised Fu Yansheng again in front of Qi Yuancheng.
Qi Yuancheng’s expression cleared up slightly. He exchanged a few words with Qi Yu, concerned about his physical condition. After confirming that there was nothing serious, he gradually calmed down.
He dismissed everyone and stayed in the room with Qi Yu. It seemed that he had something to say to him.
“That news about Liu Qi the night before yesterday, was that a move the Xiao Fu executed for you?”
“En…” Qi Yu no longer concealed it and told Qi Yuancheng what he and Fu Yansheng had said that night and the plan they had discussed with Reporter Yang afterwards.
“You’ve grown up. I knew you found people on your own but now, you also do things without telling your dad.” Qi Yuancheng smiled helplessly. “You didn’t say anything when you ate with me that night at the shareholders meeting. When the news came out that night, it really shocked me.”
Qi Yu asked in a low voice, “You’re not angry?”
“My son, what do I have to be angry about? What’s more, it’s not like I don’t understand this character of yours.” Qi Yuancheng looked at him, his tone a little unhappy, “But I thought you would advise me. I didn’t expect that you would act on your own. ”
Qi Yu asked curiously, “Then what exactly are you thinking, dad? That day at the shareholder meeting, didn’t you even let them vote on it? At six to three, you also said in front of all of them that you were going to talk to Uncle Qiu. Have you changed your mind now?”
Qi Yuancheng sighed and shook his head. “This matter is not as simple as you think and its highly possible that Qiu Mingyang’s family isn’t the only one involved in this. The shareholder meeting that day was originally a trial.”
Qi Yu was taken aback. “What do you mean?”
Qi Yuancheng: “You only found Qiu Rusong. But think about it carefully, Qiu Mingyang only owns 8% of the shares in a listed company as big as Mei Wei. Have the other shareholders gone blind to allow his son to operate a secret store for three years? I have my suspicions that the Qiu Family is working together with other parties. That’s why I specifically called a few of those that I suspected in the board of supervisors to gather for a meeting…”
Qi Yu: “So the shareholder meeting was just a set up?”
Qi Yuancheng: “That’s right.”
Qi Yu was shocked. Fu Yansheng had guessed it right!
He asked again, “Then you never planned on showing mercy to Uncle Qiu from the beginning?”
Qi Yuancheng stood up, turned his back and said, “This is no longer a question of being merciful. Do you know what Mei Wei’s current shareholder structure is? When I founded Mei Wei, I accounted for 70% of it. I gave the remaining 30% of the shares to Qiu Mingyang, Fang Zhenguo and those others who worked diligently with me. Ten years ago, Mei Wei accepted Si Holdings’ capital injection and established the Si Yuan Group. I wanted to ensure their interests as forerunners and didn't let their shares shrink. Later, Mei Wei was listed in China, and some shareholders reduced their holdings to cash out part of it. Now, the Si Yuan Group barely holds 61% of Mei Wei’s shares. Excluding the scattered shares, Qiu Mingyang, Fang Zhenguo and the other minority shareholders together hold 23%. Dad’s indirect control of Mei Wei through the Si Yuan Group is already less than 30%. If they join forces with several minority shareholders of the Si Yuan Group, their combined shares will be higher than mine. It’s reached a point that if they offer to buy retail stocks, their shares might reach 51%. Mei Wei could be delisted and forcibly taken for their own…At that time, this Mei Wei won’t be the Si Yuan Group’s Mei Wei, nor will it be the Qi family’s Mei Wei.”
Qi Yu couldn’t digest those numbers for a while, but he more or less understood what his dad meant.
Qi Yuancheng added, “Qiu Rusong’s claim that ‘Ivy will replace Mei Wei’ is also possible. If you hadn’t made me check this out at that time and I let them continue to make Ivy bigger and bigger, with sufficient funds, it would have been entirely possible to take advantage of the decline of Mei Wei’s stock value to let Ivy backhandedly acquire Mei Wei. It would be a backdoor listing, they would replace Mei Wei.”
Qi Yu was shocked. It turned out that there might be such a deep conspiracy behind this!
I asked you to work at Mei Wei’s Haicheng branch this summer to confuse their attention and make them think that this was the only move of the group. I wanted them to lower their guard. Dad would then have the opportunity to set up the next trap. This was also the reason why I kept things from you. After all, you’re still young and you have not experienced such a complicated situation. It would be hard for you to avoid being taken advantage of. If dad had told you everything, who could guarantee that they wouldn’t plant spies by your side and the information might be leaked?” Qi Yuancheng turned around. Looking at Qi Yu again, he sighed, distressed, ” One who isn't prepared to risk his child won't ever be able to catch the wolf. Dad exposed you to their sight. I’ve constantly been worried about your safety. Fortunately, nothing happened last night…”
Qi Yu had a sudden realization. No wonder his dad insisted on hiring bodyguards for him. Making such an arrangement, there probably wasn’t anyone under more pressure than Qi Yuancheng!
The author has something to say: [Little Theater]
Qi Yu confused: Teacher Fu…
Fu Yansheng: Huh?
Qi Yu clutched Fu Yansheng’s hand tightly: Not allowed to leave…
Fu Yansheng: I won’t go, I won’t leave.
(While feeling that his wife was so cute, he sighed. Hay, he’s been struck stupid. There’s no hiding it anymore.)
