Chapter 87 The Man Behind the Scenes

Fu Yibai glanced at the caller ID and answered the phone without changing his expression.

"mom."

"Yi Bai, the news says you were ambushed? What happened?!"

Li Hui's voice was eight octaves higher than usual, revealing an undisguised anxiety.

Fu Yibai softened his tone.

"It's alright, just a few petty thugs, it's all been taken care of. The police have intervened, so don't worry."

How can I not worry?

What kind of thugs dare to block your car? Did you offend someone outside?

"There are bound to be some frictions in business, but they are minor."

"Don't take it to heart, Dad and I. It'll all calm down in a couple of days."

Fu Jianlin's deep voice came from the other end of the phone.

Give me the phone.

After a rustling sound, Fu Jianlin's voice came through the receiver, much calmer than Li Hui's, but his worry was impossible to hide.

"Yi Bai, tell me the truth, what exactly happened?"

Fu Yibai paused for a second before deciding to give his father a relatively truthful answer.

"Dad, someone must be trying to teach me a lesson."

The exact identity is still under investigation, but it's highly likely to be someone.

Are you confident?

"Yes. Don't worry, I can handle it."

"If it's difficult to handle, tell me, and I'll have your Uncle Qi take some people over there."

"No! Dad, we live in a society governed by law now, so let's not let Uncle Qi come."

Also, Uncle Qi is already that old, you should let him retire peacefully and enjoy his old age...

"…"

Okay, you'd better handle it yourself. I don't want to see any more news reports about you being in danger.

"Yes, yes."

After chatting with his mother for a while, Fu Yibai finally hung up the phone.

After that, Fu Yibai's phone never stopped ringing.

Calls came from several of his women, as well as Liu Yifei, Yang Mi, and several artists and business partners from his company.

After giving a brief reply, Fu Yibai soon received a call from Officer Zhou.

"Mr. Fu, based on the clues you provided, we have found the person who hired the killer."

Officer Zhou's voice came through the receiver.

"He is a musician named Zhang Yadong."

The other party said that his girlfriend broke up with him and now her whereabouts are unknown.

Because you had contact with his girlfriend before, you suspect that she broke up with him because of you.

The reason I've brought him here is to teach you a lesson and get you to hand over his girlfriend.

Fu Yibai raised an eyebrow.

Zhang Yadong.

He vaguely recognized the name; it belonged to a well-known music producer in the industry who had written songs for many big-name singers.

As for his woman...

"Gao Yuanyuan".

It turned out to be the case.

"Officer Zhou, how do you plan to handle this matter?"

"The evidence is conclusive; it's intentional injury, enough to warrant a few years in prison."

but……"

Officer Zhou paused.

"Zhang Yadong sent a message through someone, wanting to settle privately and willing to pay compensation."

"compensation?"

He said he was willing to come to your home to apologize and compensate you for all your losses, as long as you don't pursue the matter.

Fu Yibai remained silent for two seconds.

"Officer Zhou, please handle this according to the law. I don't need compensation or an apology."

"Understood."

The phone hangs up.

Fu Yibai leaned back in his chair, his fingertips lightly tapping the armrest.

He'd seen plenty of people like Zhang Yadong.

Because of his talent and fame, he thinks the whole world should revolve around him.

When my girlfriend breaks up with me, my first reaction isn't to reflect on what I did, but to suspect that someone "seduced" me.

idiot.

However, this incident reminded him of Gao Yuanyuan.

Since that day, Fu Yibai had not heard from the other party. He never expected that after so many days, the other party would still cause him trouble.

"What a troublesome woman."

After making a complaint, Fu Yibai continued working.

Three days later, a report about Zhang Yadong appeared online.

This brought an end to this farce.

However, the story doesn't end there.

Not only is there a lot of discussion online, but Gao Yuanyuan also suddenly appeared at Chenxi Company on the same day the announcement was made.

Early summer sunlight streamed into the office through the floor-to-ceiling windows, and Fu Yibai was reviewing the quarterly report on the ringback tone business that Chen Mo had sent him.

There was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

Liu Yan pushed the door open and came in, her expression somewhat subtle.

"Mr. Fu, Ms. Gao Yuanyuan has arrived."

Fu Yibai closed the report and looked up.

"Let her in."

Liu Yan nodded and left.

A moment later, Gao Yuanyuan appeared at the door.

Today she wore a light blue shirt with white trousers, her long hair was loose over her shoulders, and she wore light makeup. She looked much more refined than she had looked that night.

"Director Fu."

She stood at the doorway, her voice very soft.

"Sorry to bother you."

Fu Yibai stood up, walked around the desk, and gestured for her to sit on the sofa in the reception area.

"Miss Gao, please have a seat."

Liu Yan brought in two cups of tea, then left, closing the door behind her.

The office fell silent.

Gao Yuanyuan sat on the sofa, holding a teacup in both hands, her fingertips slightly white.

She didn't speak immediately, but instead lowered her head and stared at the tea leaves floating in the cup.

Fu Yibai didn't urge him, but leaned back on the sofa and waited quietly.

After a long while, Gao Yuanyuan raised her head.

"Director Fu, I need to apologize to you for what happened with Zhang Yadong."

Her voice was a little hoarse.

"He came for me, but he has implicated you as well."

sorry."

Fu Yibai picked up his teacup and took a sip.

"Ms. Gao, this matter has nothing to do with you."

Gao Yuanyuan shook her head, her eyes beginning to redden again.

"If I hadn't rear-ended your car that night, if he hadn't misunderstood... you wouldn't have encountered this situation at all."

She paused, then took a deep breath.

"I've come here today to apologize to you in person."

By the way, is there anything I can do to make amends to you?
