Chapter 201: Bastard

After the announcement, many people started congratulating the couple, including Old Man Fu.

The old man raised his wine glass to everyone, "This had been the best gift that I received this year. Here's to my new favorite couple."

After the old man raised his glass, the other guests followed, drinking their wines

However, before they could finish their drinks, Fu Zouyi suddenly fell on the floor trembling.

Panic instantly ensued as his sister immediately shouted for help.

"What do you think happened to him?" Fu Jin and Jiang Yue heard someone whisper just as they were watching Fu Zuoyi being taken by the ambulance.

"Heart attack? But he is too young for that."

"Maybe poison? What do you think?"

"Who would dare do that at Old Man Fu's birthday party?"

"Who knows? Maybe he just offended the wrong person."

After hearing these words, the couple just glanced at each other before silently going inside the house. However, on their way inside Jiang Yue noticed Zhang Liyin staring at the ambulance in a very eerie way, as if the one inside was not her son at all.

It made Jiang Yue more curious about what was wrong with that woman. Was her mind damaged because of her husband's abuse? She could not be suffering from depression, right?

However, Jiang Yue chose to ignore these thoughts. They had a more urgent matter to deal with. It was very possible that what happened tonight was another attack from the culprit.

"Father was supposed to drink that glass. I saw him chang the glasses before I announced the engagement. Because of that, I had to ask someone to give father another glass. I was afraid that he put something in his glass and gave it to father.." Fu Yi grimly said they were currently in his study with his Father, Wife, Fu Jin and Jiang Yue. Since Jiang Yue already married Fu Jin she was now qualified to attend family meetings, such as this. "Now, he was poisoned. It made me wonder if he knew that there was poison in father's glass, that's why he took it. Who would have thought that his gesture would save father instead?"

"It could only mean that Zuoyi might know the one who wanted to poison father." Zhao Feiyan said, her face unfathomable. "I hope that the poison will not harm him much."

At this point, Jiang Yue was not even listening to their conversation. Her thoughts were swirling inside her head, like a mass of clouds. She was trying to analyze everything. Yet, these clouds made her unable to see the complete picture.

Her instincts told her that all of these events were connected to each other. She knew that all she needed to do was find the bridge that connected everything.

"Are you okay?" Fu Jin asked. The couple already decided to stay at the Fu Mansion for tonight.

"Hmmm..."

"Tired?"

"No. I'm fine. Just wondering what could be the culprit's purpose in doing this," she answered.

"It couldn't be Fu Honglie. He would not poison his own son." Fu Jin stated.

"But the poison was supposed to be for grandfather and not him. What if your cousin really knew that something was wrong with the glass and decided to take it?"

"Well... all we can do to know the truth, is to wait for him to wake up." Fu Jin answered.

However, who would have thought that the couple would be woken up by another gruesome news.

An article was published online, telling everyone, how Fu Jin poisoned his own cousin to secure the patriarch position.

The speculations were so detailed that it even included the Fu Family's rules in challenging the newly declared patriarch.

The news instantly made its way into the national television and was broadcasted at the morning news.

"So fast?" Jiang Yue asked when she heard the news. "It is as if... Jin can you tell me who is the person that will have all the benefits if you and Fu Zuoyi are out of the picture?"

"Uh... none? All of my other cousins are unmarried females."

Female... Female... the word female seemed to echo inside Jiang Yue's mind.

Then a realization hit her. She jolted up in her seat as she dialed someone using her phone.

"Bai'Li can you make in-depth research about Fu Honglie, Zhang Liyin and Fu Xiaolan?" Jiang Yue cut off the call the moment Bai'Li said yes to her request. She then looked at Fu Jin, her eyes sparkling. "No one will benefit if there is no other male in the family. But what if there is still one?"

Fu Jin frowned at Jiang Yue's words. Another male? Who? A bastard perhaps? "You mean a bastard? Someone, we are not aware of?"

Jiang Yue nodded. "It will make sense then. Fu Honglie has two mistresses but these two seem unable to give birth to a child. What if Fu Honglie has deliberately hidden another mistress or a son?"

"What if he wanted his son Fu Zuoyi and you to fight so he could reap all the benefits with his bastard son?" she added.

"I get your point, still that does not explain why he would hurt his son. I don't believe that he did that to accommodate his bastard child. That would be too stupid."

Jiang Yue sneered at the thought of Fu Honglie hurting his son. That man was abusive towards his wife. Who knows what else could he be capable of?
