1488: Fu Hanzheng's Suspicion

Fu Hanzheng's Suspicion

At the dining table, they looked at each other nervously.2

One straightforward person was the first to speak.

"The Gu Family did ask my family for a collaboration, but of course we turned them down."

The moment he admitted it, another man said, "He came to my home too and we resolutely turned him down. After all, our families have been friends for twenty or thirty years and we would never cooperate with the Gu Family."

"Yes, because of our relationship with the Fu Family, we must not work with the Gu Family. Our family has also strictly turned them down."

…

After everyone expressed their opinions, Fu Hanzheng glanced at everyone at the table.

Finally, his eyes fell upon Qin Lv.

"Qin Lv, what about you?"

"The Gu Family did find the Qin Family, but we turned them down," Qin Lv answered just like everyone else.

Kuroda Shio had approached several families in order to conceal his identity, but that was just a smokescreen for the safety of the plan.

He had always been the real target.

The reason why he had found so many people was because he was afraid that Fu Hanzheng would suspect something, that way he could hide among the crowd and not be suspected by the Fu Family.

Because he was a very thoughtful person, it was no wonder that the Gu Family could compete with Fu Hanzheng in business for so many years.

Fu Hanzheng looked sharp. "But you have met him more than once."

In Hua Land, he always had a way to find out what he wanted to know.

At first, he did not expect that Kuroda Shio would go to them.

Even if he did, he believed that most of them would not dare to work with the Gu Family.

But Qin Lv had met Kuroda Shio twice, which made him a bit concerned.

Especially when he had always been hostile towards him because of Weiwei.

"He refused to give up and tried to persuade me, but I turned him down," Qin Lv said without changing his expression.

"Is that so?" Fu Hanzheng looked at him in disbelief.

Qin Lv looked at him calmly and did not defend himself.

He knew very well that in front of this person, the more he explained, the more suspicious he would be. The more he said, the more mistakes he would make.

Without Fu Hanzheng saying a word, the others did not dare to utter a sound, fearing him.

The entire room was so quiet that one could hear a pin drop, when the door was pushed open from outside.

Dressed in a professional suit, Qin Man glanced at him as she entered.

"Oh my, you are all here today? Ha, President Fu, you are so busy every day, yet you still have the heart to attend such a dinner."

…

Fu Shiyi and Fu Shiqin had always been with this group of people, but Fu Hanzheng was there. No wonder the atmosphere was so weird.

"Sister Qin Man, what are you doing here?" someone asked in surprise.

Among their generation, Qin Man was the only one who dared to confront Fu Hanzheng.

"I am having dinner with my colleagues but I heard that you are all here, so I came to greet you," Qin Man said.

Chao Fang Residence was a famous private restaurant in the capital city. Due to its privacy and excellent culinary skills, it was often the place where private dinners were held.

Fu Hanzheng glanced at Qin Man, stood up and said, "The Gu Family and the Fu Family have never been on good terms with each other. You should know that well."

As he finished speaking, his eyes fell upon Qin Lv.

Qin Man frowned and said to Fu Hanzheng, "I know that the Gu Family went to the Qin Family and we turned them down. You are being too suspicious."

"I am not suspecting anything. I am just thanking you for giving the Fu Family face today," Fu Hanzheng said and left the table.

It sounded like it was a form of gratitude, but it was actually a warning.
