Chapter 87: I Will Become the Most Powerful Person in North City Bonus Chapter Unlocked at 3,100 Diamonds

Fu Miao was awake at this moment. Hearing the commotion, she left the room and walked to Fu Yanchuan’s door. She saw two assistants helping Yuan Yujun sit down on the nearby sofa. She entered, approached the bedside, and looked at the person lying on the bed with an unchanged expression.

She merely bent over, leaned in a little closer, and carefully examined the injuries—they were quite severe. Judging by the bend in both hands, they might be broken.

Her gaze shifted to Fu Yanchuan’s face. She blinked lightly and said, “Look at yourself, isn’t this self-inflicted? You did so much, but does Lin Wanbai even glance at you? Not a single look. Now you’ve become a cripple for her sake—will she repay you? Will she take care of you for the rest of your life? No, even if you die, she wouldn’t remember you.”

“Fu Yanchuan, you really are a big fool.”

With that, she stood up, her face still cold and indifferent. “You never helped me, your own sister. But I’m different—I will help you. I will make her pay the price she deserves.”

...

Fu Corporation resumed trading, and stimulated by favorable news, the stock opened with a surge. Things were moving in a positive direction.

Qin Guang convened a shareholders’ meeting, personally attending and presiding over the session on behalf of Chaosheng’s founder, Mr. Liang.

Everyone at Fu was instantly energized, brimming with confidence. Mr. Liang’s appearance also stimulated the stock market, restoring some faith among the shareholders.

The position of chairman of Fu Corporation was handed over to Fu Juxing. Due to personal matters, he did not attend the meeting, but Mr. Liang personally announced it, and no one opposed—though any opposition would have been futile. At present, Fu Corporation answered to him.

After the meeting, Liang Yusheng asked, “What is that kid doing? He didn’t even come to the shareholders’ meeting.”

Qin Guang replied, “The Lin family’s situation seems to have become complicated.”

“How so?”

“Well, you’ll have to ask him yourself to find out.”

Liang Yusheng adjusted his glasses, took out his phone, and called Fu Juxing.

Immediately, a phone rang at the door, and soon he saw Fu Juxing push the door open and enter.

“Uncle.”

Liang Yusheng was the younger brother of Fu Juxing’s biological father, Liang Yukang. They came from a modest, lower-middle-class family, but a tragic upheaval struck when their parents died in a car accident. At ten years old, they became orphans. No relatives wanted to take them in, so they ended up in an orphanage. Being older children, hardly anyone wished to adopt them.

Later, a foreign gentleman noticed their bright spirits and took them both back to the Hidden Kingdom. Although brothers, their personalities were poles apart. Liang Yukang was romantic and idealistic, while Liang Yusheng was the exact opposite.

By the time they turned eighteen, the gentleman, who had been ill, left them a fortune. But Liang Yukang wanted to return home, whereas Liang Yusheng intended to continue developing the old man’s business. This caused a rift. After a big fight over a trivial matter, Liang Yukang went back home alone.

They parted ways for decades without contact. Liang Yusheng focused on his career, ambitious to carve out a place for himself in the Hidden Kingdom. When he achieved some success, he returned home only to learn that Liang Yukang and his wife had disappeared.

Later, he found Fu Juxing, who was then only fifteen—thin and frail but with remarkably bright eyes.

Upon learning of Fu Juxing’s situation, Liang Yukang had intended to take him away. He would never forget what fifteen-year-old Fu Juxing told him: “I’m not leaving. I want to become the most formidable person in Beicheng and get what I want.”

At that time, Liang Yukang thought Fu Juxing meant revenge and that his goal was to take down the entire Fu family.

Back then, Chaosheng was no match for Fu Corporation, so they had to lie low and plan long-term. Sixteen years had passed just like that.

...

Liang Yukang smiled as he hung up the phone, raising an eyebrow. “You really came at a perfect time. We just finished the meeting, and here you are.”

Fu Juxing entered, sat beside him, straightened his clothes slightly, and said, “I have some personal matters.”

Liang Yusheng studied him from head to toe, noticing a slight bloodstain on his cuff. He fixed his gaze on Fu Juxing’s profile. “Personal matters? More important than the shareholders’ meeting?”

“Of course, more important.”

Liang Yusheng couldn’t quite understand Fu Juxing’s demeanor. After lying low for so many years, now that he had succeeded, he showed no sign of triumph or joy. Perhaps it was because of Fu Xian’s death. But Qin Guang said that when they found Fu Xian, Fu Juxing showed no sorrow, no different from usual.

He seemed to always be this way—indifferent to everything, neither happy nor sad, neither angry nor pleased. No one could move his heart.

Liang Yusheng was curious about what could be more important than the shareholders’ meeting but didn’t press further, seeing clearly that Fu Juxing wouldn’t reveal a word.

He glanced at the time. “Lunch together?”

Fu Juxing shook his head. “I have other matters. I won’t join you.”

He had come only to make a brief appearance. After nodding at Liang Yusheng, he turned and left.

Liang Yusheng watched him go, deep in thought.

After a moment’s silence, he said to Qin Guang, “That kid is a bit strange.”

Qin Guang nodded in agreement.

“Let’s go check on the old man.”

...

Lin Wanbai hadn’t eaten for two full days. No matter what Aunt Rong said, Lin Wanbai wouldn’t respond, refusing food and drink, just sitting there.

In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight.

Aunt Rong said earnestly, “Xiaobai, just eat a little. Even if you want to run away, you need strength, right?”

She didn’t reply, as if she hadn’t heard.

“Well, if not for yourself, think about the child you’re carrying.”

She had said this countless times, but each word fell like a stone sinking into the deep sea, eliciting no response.

Just then, Fu Juxing arrived.

Aunt Rong immediately tensed, truly afraid something might happen to Xiaobai. If anything happened, it would be two tragedies.

She instinctively ran over and blocked him. “Xiaobai isn’t well right now, Young Master, you—”

“Go away.”

“Young Master!”

Fu Juxing glanced down at her. After a few seconds, Aunt Rong stepped aside. He walked over and sat beside Lin Wanbai, noticing the meal Aunt Rong had prepared nearby. “Why aren’t you eating?”

Lin Wanbai was stunned for a moment, blinked slowly, and turned her head toward him.

There was no smile on her face, no focus in her eyes—just a fixed gaze. After a few seconds, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped him.

Because she hadn’t eaten for two days, her strength was weak; the slap was like a kitten’s scratch—without any power.

She said nothing, just anger flickered in her eyes. After a few seconds, she slapped him again, this time a bit harder. Then, like a madwoman, she fiercely struck his face, gritting her teeth and summoning all her strength, hitting him repeatedly.

Fu Juxing didn’t move or stop her. His skin was pale, and soon his cheeks were flushed red from her slaps.

Aunt Rong stood nearby, too afraid to utter a word.

Lin Wanbai hit until she was exhausted; at that moment, her eyes held nothing but hatred. She said, “You’re a lunatic! You have no heart! You’re not even human!”

She grabbed the food container beside her and smashed it on his head, scattering the contents everywhere.

“Stop pretending! Stop acting like everything’s fine in front of me! I know all this is because of you! If you want revenge, do it properly! Don’t use these disgusting methods! I swear, if anything happens to my mother, I’ll go down with you!”

“I, Lin Wanbai, was blind to fall in love with someone like you! Marrying you was the biggest mistake I ever made! Fu Juxing, you’re scum!”

She exhausted all her strength. After speaking, her legs buckled, and she almost fell.

Fu Juxing was quick, catching her and helping her back into the chair.

He was covered in spilled soup, which stained her as well. He frowned slightly, asked Aunt Rong for tissues, then knelt down carefully to wipe the soup from her face and clothes.

His hand reached out, hesitated for a moment, then firmly grasped hers.

Lin Wanbai paused for a second, then began to struggle. He wouldn’t let go.

Watching their movements, Aunt Rong was frightened but finally came forward and grabbed Fu Juxing. “Young Master, you’re covered in soup. Why don’t you go wash up and change clothes first? Then have the servants prepare a fresh lunch—something Xiaobai likes. I think she really needs to eat now.”

Lin Wanbai was still struggling, her efforts nearly draining her strength.

Her face grew paler, even her lips losing color.

Finally, just as she was about to reach her limit, Fu Juxing released her hand.

He stood and looked at Aunt Rong. “Watch her well.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of her.”

After Fu Juxing left, Aunt Rong exhaled, cleaned the chair, tidied up a bit, and sat down. “Xiaobai, I’ve said everything I can. If you keep going like this—” She hesitated, then her expression froze. “You don’t... you don’t want this child, do you?”

Lin Wanbai snorted lightly, turning to look at her with a terrifying coldness. “What’s the point of wanting this child? He doesn’t care.”

“But it’s your child too.”

“I don’t want this child! He’s Fu Juxing’s child, and I don’t want him!”

Aunt Rong quickly changed the subject. “Alright, let’s not talk about that now. Just now, I asked the doctor. Your mother’s condition is good; everything is improving. I believe she’ll be fine. Your father is fine.”

Hearing this, Lin Wanbai suddenly came back to her senses and remembered Chen Songyuan.

“Where is he?”

“In the intensive care unit on the fourth floor.”

Lin Wanbai immediately stood up, but because she hadn’t eaten, her blood was low; as soon as she stood, her vision darkened, and she sat back down. Aunt Rong caught her. “Don’t be so anxious. I have some cakes here. Want to eat a little first?”

Lin Wanbai nodded.

She ate two pieces and drank some sweet water, feeling a little better.

Then Aunt Rong accompanied her upstairs.

At the hospital room door, there were people inside. Lin Wanbai didn’t enter immediately but stood outside. She couldn’t hear their voices. Aunt Rong thought for a moment and gently cracked the door open.

Lin Wanbai leaned in; their voices gradually came through.

“Don’t be like this. I’ve asked—the rehab is going well. Once you get the prosthetic, you can walk like normal. It’s nothing.”

“I’m just waiting for her to die. When she’s gone, losing this leg won’t be in vain!” Chen Songyuan’s voice was filled with anger and hatred.

“Don’t say that. If others hear you, all your efforts will be for nothing.”

After these words, silence fell inside.

Then the door in front of Lin Wanbai opened. Zhou Lin stood inside, her expression stiffening briefly before softening into a gentle smile. She tugged the corner of her mouth and moved aside.

Lin Wanbai looked over. Chen Songyuan had changed his expression. “Xiaobai.”

But she had heard those critical words just now.

Never before had she heard such heart-wrenching things so directly. Even she felt pain. If Lin Jingyu heard them, it was unimaginable how she would feel.

Fortunately, Lin Wanbai held no great hope for him.

She slowly walked in and stood by the bed, staring at him. It was clear Chen Songyuan’s expression faltered.

Lin Wanbai watched him for a while, then reached out and flipped back the blanket. The amputated leg came into view.

Chen Songyuan couldn’t hold back. “What are you doing?!”

The amputation had shattered his psyche. The pain made him irritable beyond measure. The wound hurt daily; no amount of painkillers helped. Worse was seeing his own stump.

Zhou Lin quickly covered him back up and shot him a glance, silently urging him to control himself. But Chen Songyuan was beyond control. “Is this how you behave as a daughter?! I lost a leg, and you’re happy about it?!”

Lin Wanbai looked at him again and smiled faintly, “I think you should have lost both legs. No, it would be better if you were dead!”

“What did you say?!”

Zhou Lin spoke, “Yes, after all, she’s your daughter.”

Lin Wanbai, without a word, grabbed the water cup on the bedside and splashed it in Zhou Lin’s face. “You have no right to speak here!”

Chen Songyuan coughed angrily. “Are you trying to drive me crazy? Your mother went mad trying to kill me, and now you’re crazy too?!”

“Crazy?” Lin Wanbai laughed harshly, eyes red. “Good! If I’m crazy, killing people won’t send me to jail. If I’m crazy, I’ll kill you now, then kill Fu Juxing—you won’t escape!”

After saying this, she started to leave. After two steps, she bumped into a chair. She paused, then suddenly grabbed the chair, spun around, and struck Chen Songyuan hard with it.

No one blocked her. Zhou Lin instinctively stepped back, then lunged forward to shield him.

Lin Wanbai said, “Don’t be in a hurry, you have to hit too!”

She gripped the chair again and swung it, hitting both of them this time.

Chen Songyuan screamed for help, looking at Aunt Rong. “What are you standing there for? Go get someone! Hurry!”

Next moment, Lin Wanbai struck his face again. He quickly raised his hand to block, but after continuous blows, his wound tore open. Chen Songyuan only lasted a little while before fainting from pain.

Only then did Aunt Rong step forward and pull her away. “Enough! That’s enough!”

Lin Wanbai panted heavily, slamming the chair down fiercely.

Zhou Lin’s forehead was cut, bleeding profusely, and her face was deeply scratched.

Lin Wanbai said, “Feel free to sue me.”

Then she turned and left.

After a while, doctors and nurses rushed over past them, but Lin Wanbai didn’t stop. The two of them walked to the elevator.

After waiting a moment, the elevator doors opened. Lin Wanbai looked up and froze slightly but did not move.

Inside was none other than Yuan Yujun.

Two bodyguards followed her. She looked at Lin Wanbai without surprise, clearly here to find her.

As the elevator doors were about to close, one bodyguard on Yuan Yujun’s left immediately pressed the open button.

Yuan Yujun said, “Come in.”

Her gaze was clearly hostile. Lin Wanbai glanced at Aunt Rong and said, “You take the stairs and wait downstairs for me.”

Aunt Rong shook her head. “No, I need to stay with you.”

“No worries. You go ahead. I have something to say to my aunt.”

Yuan Yujun stepped out of the elevator. “Or, we can talk in that secure hallway over there.”

Lin Wanbai nodded obediently.

Aunt Rong followed closely. The few of them entered the secure hallway, where few people passed.

Yuan Yujun pulled out her phone and showed photos. “Do you know that Yanchuan was beaten? Don’t guess—it’s because of you. Both his hands are useless. The doctor said whether he can write again depends on fate.”

“He did this for you. What do you have to say?”

Lin Wanbai glanced and lowered her head, silent.

Yuan Yujun bit her lip, anger growing at her silence.

She clenched the phone tightly. “An eye for an eye. I’ll beat you up. You have no objections, right?”

Aunt Rong immediately stepped forward. “What do you mean by that? Go find whoever hit him! You hit a pregnant woman—who do you think you are? Even if Fu Yanchuan did it for Xiaobai, it was his choice!”

Yuan Yujun gave Aunt Rong a glance, and one of the bodyguards immediately pulled her back.

Aunt Rong said, “If you dare to lay a hand on her, watch out for the Young Master...”

Her mouth was covered.

Yuan Yujun stepped forward, eyes cold. “I’m not afraid of Fu Juxing. Anyone who harms my child, I will fight to the death with them! But you’re the main culprit! If you hadn’t gone after Yanchuan, he would have gone back to Aocheng with me! None of this would have happened!”

“Do you think you deserve to be hit?!”

Lin Wanbai didn’t back down. She thought she deserved it, but not because of Fu Yanchuan—because of her family.

She looked at her belly. Maybe getting hit was good; perhaps it would take the child away, sparing her the dilemma.

“Yes, you deserve it.”

Then Yuan Yujun slapped her.

Without a word, she slapped her forcefully. Aunt Rong was agitated but could do nothing.

After a few slaps, Yuan Yujun started tearing at her. “You troublemaker! My precious son and daughter have been ruined by you! You deserve this!”

They pushed and shoved. After several rounds, Lin Wanbai was pushed to the staircase entrance. Yuan Yujun shoved hard, and Lin Wanbai didn’t resist, tumbling down.

Yuan Yujun watched without a shred of remorse.

At this moment, the bodyguards released their grip. Aunt Rong rushed forward.

Lin Wanbai hit her head and fainted. After a moment, clear fluid slowly flowed from beneath her.

Her water had broken!

Aunt Rong was on the verge of tears. Lin Wanbai’s forehead wound began bleeding, bright red blood trickling down, tears falling from her eyes.

In truth, she wasn’t fully unconscious. She felt pain all over, especially in her belly. The child was moving fiercely, struggling as if seeking a way out.

This pain didn’t make her feel worse; rather, it made her feel a bit better.

She deserved the beating—she truly deserved it!
