Suddenly, Feng Lin on the bed reached out and pulled Su Xianyu into his arms, burying his head in the crook of her shoulder.
"Xiaoyu, if I take action against my own relatives, will you think I'm cruel?"
"Of course not." Su Xianyu reached out and stroked the back of his neck. "I only feel sorry for you."
"I know that A Lin wouldn't take action against others for no reason. It must be that they did something excessive first."
"Since that's the case, it means they don't treat you as a relative at all. Then A Lin doesn't have to spare them any more consideration."
She cupped Feng Lin's cheeks with both hands and looked into his eyes seriously. "I'll always stand by A Lin's side."
So, A Lin mustn't show any mercy to those people.
"I see."
Always... He liked this word. A warm feeling welled up in Feng Lin's heart, and he hugged her even tighter.
Early the next morning, after saying goodbye to Su Xianyu, Feng Lin headed to the headquarters of Feng Group.
He threw a copy of the termination of pregnancy consent form on the coffee table. The edges of the paper were frayed, and the diagnosis conclusion of "abnormal fetal development, it is recommended to terminate the pregnancy" on it was especially glaring under the light.
Feng Lin tapped his fingertips on the edge of the report, his gaze sweeping across the three people sitting opposite him. His voice was calm. "How much did you pay for this report?"
Feng Zhiguo, his uncle, suddenly tightened his grip on the seam of his trousers, his knuckles turning white.
Beside him, his aunt also averted her eyes and subconsciously shrank behind Feng Zhiguo.
The original plan was for her to "accidentally" drop the report in front of Su Xianyu and then add fuel to the fire by saying a few words about "eugenics" to force Su Xianyu to give up the baby herself.
But they didn't expect that Feng Lin had guarded the mansion so tightly that she had no chance to enter. So they had no choice but to bribe an outside doctor.
"What... what report?" Feng Zhiguo pretended to be calm, his Adam's apple bobbing. "We don't understand what you're talking about."
"Don't understand?" Feng Lin picked up his phone and played a recording.
There was a rustling sound at first, and then his aunt's shrill voice came out. "Doctor Zhang, you have to handle this cleanly. Make the report look convincing. It's best to show some signs of 'congenital defects'..."
Then a male voice said, "Don't worry. Ordinary people can't understand the report anyway. I'll just modify the blood test results. I'll destroy the evidence immediately afterwards to make sure there are no loopholes. But the risk fee needs to be increased by another 50,000 yuan."
The moment the recording ended, his aunt's face turned deathly pale. Her legs went weak, and she almost slumped to the ground.
Feng Zhiguo still wanted to be stubborn, but he was pinned in place by Feng Lin's look. That kind of detached look that saw through everything was more terrifying than scolding.
"Maybe you don't know that although Doctor Zhang's uncle is a well - known department head, he himself is good - for - nothing."
"He was once suspended from the hospital for forging medical reports. Later, he barely got a job in a small private hospital thanks to his uncle's recommendation."
Feng Lin said slowly, picking up another document. "When I sent someone to investigate, just by mentioning his uncle, he confessed everything before I even asked a question - including the details of how you got him involved."
He pushed the document in front of Feng Zhiguo. It was Doctor Zhang's hand - written confession and the bank transfer record. The receiving account was the card bound to Feng Zhiguo's daughter's phone number.
"You even calculated the time. You planned to bribe Manager Liu to keep me busy with company affairs when Xiaoyu was in a panic after receiving the 'abnormal' report, and then force her to have an abortion."
"By the time I rushed to the hospital, everything would have been a foregone conclusion, right?"
Manager Liu suddenly looked up, his face as pale as a sheet. His lips trembled, but he couldn't make a sound.
Feng Zhiguo looked at every word on the confession, and his hands began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Feng Lin, we did this for your own good! If that woman gives birth to an unhealthy child, it will be a burden to you in the future!"
"Whether the child is healthy or not is not up to you to decide." Feng Lin stood up, walked in front of Feng Zhiguo, and slapped a newly printed document on his chest.
"This is the authoritative re - examination report from the First Municipal Hospital and Yuanya Hospital. Xiaoyu and the baby are both in good condition."
He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping across their pale faces. "Did you ever think that Doctor Zhang would confess you in order to get a lighter punishment when you bribed him?"
"If I call the police now, the two charges of forging medical documents and attempting to harm a pregnant woman are enough to land you in big trouble."
Suddenly, his aunt screamed, "We're relatives! You can't treat us like this!"
"Relatives?" Feng Lin twitched the corner of his mouth and picked up his phone to call his assistant.
"Notify the legal department to start the procedure immediately to take back all the authorized stores of Feng Group under Feng Zhiguo's name and freeze all the project funds he embezzled by taking advantage of his position."
He hung up the phone and looked at his aunt slumped on the ground and his uncle as pale as death. "When you plotted against my wife, you should have known that the rule of the Feng family is that back - stabbing is the least tolerable thing."
Feng Lin looked up, his gaze sweeping across his still - sobbing aunt. "Recently, I heard from some people in the family that you've been saying everywhere that Xiaoyu's family background is ordinary and she's not worthy of me, and the child she gives birth to is not presentable?"
His aunt shivered under his gaze and nodded reluctantly. "I did it for the honor of the Feng family..."
"Honor?" Feng Lin smiled faintly, but the smile seemed to be tinged with ice.
"Uncle embezzled 30 million yuan from the company to pay off cousin's gambling debts. When the debt collectors called me, why didn't you mention honor?"
Suddenly, he stood up, walked in front of Feng Zhiguo, and patted his face. The action was frivolous, but his eyes were bone - chillingly cold.
"I just had someone investigate the project in the east of the city that you're in charge of. Inferior steel bars were used, and 8 million yuan in kickbacks were given to the supervisor. Do you want me to read out these things one by one?"
Uncle's legs went weak, and he almost knelt down. "Feng Lin! For the sake of your grandfather..."
"Grandfather?" Feng Lin sneered and pressed the intercom on the table. "Bring the things in."
A moment later, the assistant came in with a file box. Feng Lin took out several agreements from it and threw them on the coffee table.
"The riverside apartment under your name was secretly mortgaged to loan sharks last month. The creditor of the 30 million yuan that cousin owes will come to the door tomorrow. And the 5 million yuan you hid in your mistress's account has just been frozen by me."
He pointed at the documents. His voice was not loud, but every word was heart - rending. "Do you think you're qualified to mention grandfather with all these debts?"
Then he turned to look at his trembling aunt and picked up the test report. "Don't you think the child Xiaoyu gives birth to is not worthy of the Feng surname?"
"Coincidentally, your son wants to join Feng Group after graduating from university next year? No way! And that small factory of your natal family has only survived thanks to the orders from Feng Group. Starting from tomorrow, the cooperation will be terminated."
Finally, his gaze fell on the trembling manager. "You've been working in the company for ten years, getting a salary twice as high as the market price, but you helped outsiders harm my wife?"
He nodded at the assistant. "Call the police and say that he attempted to cause intentional harm. Also, hand over the accounts of his embezzlement of public funds for stock trading over the years to the police."
The manager knelt down with a thud and kowtowed like a pounding garlic, but Feng Lin didn't even lift his eyelids.
"As for the two of you," he sat back on the sofa and swiped his phone a few times.
"I just received the news that all your shares in Feng Group have been forcibly repurchased by me. The price? It's calculated according to the issue price ten years ago."
Uncle suddenly looked up, his eyes full of disbelief. Those shares had multiplied several times in value. This was simply forcing them to a dead end!
"Get out." Feng Lin issued the order to leave. There was no trace of warmth in his tone. "Don't let me see you in City A again. Otherwise, it won't be so easy next time."
After the three of them scurried out, Chen Shui asked in a low voice, "Do we need to send someone to keep an eye on them?"
"No." Feng Lin got up and walked towards the bedroom. The chill in his eyes faded a little. "They're in big trouble themselves. They don't have the energy to cause trouble."
"But they've been well - behaved for so many years. Why did they suddenly jump out recently?"
Feng Lin casually threw the investigation results on the table. "There must be someone else instigating them behind the scenes. Keep investigating."
"Yes..."
