She abandoned her husband first, then her children, and was ecstatic after the divorce.

Chapter 196 will not fail.

No matter how the two tried to persuade him, Fu Xingze refused to talk to them. Helpless, the two had no choice but to leave the meeting room and go to the corridor.

Fu Xiuheng's brows were furrowed, his eyes showed exhaustion, and his lips trembled slightly, as if he was struggling to organize his thoughts.

Lin Qingran stood to the side, her arms crossed over her chest, her eyes cold and distant. She tilted her head slightly, deliberately avoiding Fu Xiuheng's pleading gaze.

"Qingran, you know Xingze's current situation. That evidence is extremely unfavorable to him. We don't have time to hold grudges against each other anymore."

Fu Xiuheng finally spoke, his voice slightly hoarse, each word seemingly uttered with all his might.

He took a small step forward, his hands unconsciously rising slightly before slowly lowering, as if trying to grasp something but afraid of being rejected.

Lin Qingran snorted coldly, turned her head to the side, and said disdainfully.

"Now you're in a hurry? Where has all your concern for him gone all these years? Why should I help you save him now?"

Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes burning with anger, and she gently bit her lower lip, trying to control the surging emotions within her.

Fu Xiuheng looked pained. He lowered his head, stared at the ground beneath his feet, remained silent for a moment, and then slowly raised his head, a hint of determination in his eyes.

“I know I was wrong, terribly wrong. Xingze is blaming me now and won’t talk to me. But I really don’t want to see his future ruined.”

Fu Xiuheng's eyes were full of anticipation, yet he was also afraid that Lin Qingran would refuse. Fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead and slowly slid down his cheeks.

Lin Qingran's heart stirred slightly, but her face remained indifferent.

Can I believe what you say?

A hint of hesitation flashed in Lin Qingran's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by stubbornness.

She turned her back to Fu Xiuheng, her hands clenched into fists.

Fu Xiuheng hurriedly walked around to Lin Qingran's side, his eyes filled with a pleading look.

"Qingran, I know my past actions have disappointed you greatly, but please believe me this time. For Xingze's sake, let's put aside our past grievances for now. As long as Xingze is released, you can settle accounts with me however you like."

He leaned forward slightly, staring intently at Lin Qingran, his breathing becoming rapid.

Looking at Fu Xiuheng's haggard face, Lin Qingran's resentment gradually softened.

In fact, Fu Xiuheng is right. It's always better for two people to work together than for one person to fight alone.

She sighed deeply and said helplessly.

"Alright, for Xingze's sake, I'll cooperate with you for now."

Her eyes still held a hint of indifference, but her tone had lost its previous harshness.

At this moment, Lin Qingran seemed to suddenly remember something, and a trace of worry flashed in her eyes.

She glanced at Fu Xiuheng, turned around and walked to the other side, took out her phone and dialed Bo Ye's number, who was waiting outside the police station.

Bo Ye's gentle voice came quickly from the other end of the phone, "Jiu Ge, what's wrong?"

Lin Qingran hesitated for a moment before speaking.

"Bo Ye, Fu Xiuheng wants me to help him save Fu Xingze, and I agreed. Will you... be angry?"

Her voice carried a hint of caution, and her fingers unconsciously twirled the hem of her clothes.

Bo Ye was silent for a moment on the other end of the phone, then chuckled softly.

“Jiuge, Fu Xingze is your son, it’s only right that you save him. Go ahead and do it, I will always be by your side to support you.”

Although Bo Ye's voice sounded calm, Lin Qingran could still sense a hint of disappointment behind his words.

“Bo Ye, if you really don’t want to, you don’t have to force yourself,” Lin Qingran said.

"It's really nothing." Bo Ye smiled.

"But don't underestimate me, I'm very capable too. Don't worry, I'll help you with this."

Lin Qingran and Fu Xiuheng stayed at the police station until the early hours of the morning, but still couldn't find a good solution, so they had to go home separately.

However, the next morning, Lin Qingran received a call from the police station, saying that Lin Yuyan wanted to see her.

Lin Qingran hesitated for a moment, then agreed.

I should go and see Lin Yuyan.

Therefore, meeting him wouldn't help in saving Fu Xingze, but Lin Qingran was also very curious about how much influence Zhou Lan had left for Lin Yuyan.

And what are those people plotting?

Lin Yuyan was placed in an interrogation room. When Lin Qingran entered, Lin Yuyan was sitting in a chair. After a night of interrogation, her hair was slightly messy, and her once carefully cared-for face was covered with a layer of oil. She looked really haggard, but her eyes still revealed an arrogance.

Lin Qingran walked straight up to Lin Yuyan, placed her hands on the table, and stared at her sharply.

"Lin Yuyan, I'm not here to waste time talking to you. Tell me, didn't Xingze already make a move on you? How did you escape? Where have you been hiding all this time? Are you still being helped by Zhou Lan's forces?"

Her voice, like a cold blade, shattered the silence of the interrogation room.

Lin Yuyan raised her head, glanced at Lin Qingran with disdain, and a mocking smile appeared on her lips.

"Lin Qingran, what do you think you can get from me? I won't say anything."

A wicked smile appeared on Lin Qingran's lips, and then her eyes turned fierce.

"If it weren't for you, I would have been with Xiu Heng long ago, and everything in the Fu family would be mine! I wouldn't have ended up in this situation!"

Her eyes were filled with resentment, her arms were crossed over her chest, and she leaned back in her chair.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qingran's anger flared instantly, and she shouted.

"Lin Yuyan, I never intended to fight with you! If you really liked Fu Xiuheng, you should have tried to win him back before we got married! You seemed to have no objections when the engagement was made, but afterwards you framed me at every turn, and now you've even harmed Xingze. Do you have any conscience at all?"

Lin Qingran's face flushed red, her eyes seemed to spit fire, and her body trembled slightly with anger.

Lin Yuyan smiled dismissively.

"Conscience? In this world, only the strong survive. I'm just pursuing what I want."

A hint of madness flashed in her eyes, a look that sent chills down one's spine.

"Also, don't think that just because I've been arrested, it means I've failed. Lin Qingran, you won't get any useful information from me. Sooner or later, I'll stand before you again. Just you wait."

Lin Qingran took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

She knew that Lin Yuyan had only called her here to vent her anger and that she wouldn't get any important information from her.
