Chapter 393: let me deal with it quickly
Hua Jing stared at him for a brief second before a laugh slipped from her lips.
It was a genuine laugh this time—light and unburdened.
"Can it ever go well with those two?" she replied.
Fu Jingrong’s lips curved into a small smile.
He didn’t say anything else.
Instead, he simply stepped forward and pulled her into his arms.
The embrace was tight.
Very tight.
It was the kind of hug that spoke far louder than words, the kind that carried relief, exhaustion, and a deep understanding of everything she had been through.
Hua Jing felt his arms close around her shoulders firmly, as if he wanted to make sure she was truly there, safe and unharmed.
After a moment, his voice murmured quietly beside her ear.
"Everything is finally over now."
Hua Jing’s body relaxed slightly against him.
She nodded.
"Yes," she whispered. "Everything is finally over."
For so many years, her life had been shaped by the actions of others.
By the cruelty of the Hua family.
By the secrets that had surrounded her birth.
By the hatred that had followed her from childhood into adulthood.
All of it had felt like chains—chains forged by a past she had never chosen.
But now those chains had finally broken.
Her future would no longer be determined by the pain others had inflicted on her.
From this moment forward, her life would be defined by her own choices.
Her own hard work.
Her own happiness.
Hua Jing tightened her arms around Fu Jingrong’s waist and held him just as firmly.
Then she lifted her head slightly and said with a faint smile,
"It’s your turn now."
Fu Jingrong chuckled softly.
"Let me deal with it quickly."
Hua Jing nodded.
"Let’s go."
...
In the following weeks, the capital once again erupted into chaos.
The storm that had exposed the Hua family’s secrets had barely settled when another scandal surfaced—this time involving one of the most powerful families in the city.
The Fu family.
It began with a quiet investigation.
But before long, the truth exploded across every major news platform.
It was revealed that within the Fu family itself, a snake had been hiding for years.
And that snake was none other than Fu Lianhua.
The news shocked the entire country.
According to the investigation reports released by the authorities, Fu Lianhua had secretly orchestrated the death of the previous mistress of the Fu family many years ago.
The revelation alone was enough to shake the public.
But the deeper investigators dug, the darker the truth became.
Evidence soon surfaced proving that Fu Lianhua had also been slowly poisoning Fu Sheng, the current patriarch of the Fu family and Fu Jingrong’s father.
The poisoning had been meticulous and deliberate.
Three different toxins had been used over a long period of time, each administered in small doses so the symptoms would appear natural—fatigue, illness, gradual weakness.
If it had continued undetected, Fu Sheng would have died without anyone ever suspecting murder.
Fortunately, the scheme was discovered just in time.
By the time the news reached the public, Fu Sheng had already been transferred to a private hospital under strict protection, where he was undergoing intensive detoxification treatment.
The doctors announced that although the toxins had done considerable damage, his condition was stabilizing.
But Fu Lianhua had not acted alone.
Further investigation uncovered another shocking accomplice.
Her lover.
The man she had secretly conspired with for years.
He was none other than Gu Heng, one of the most powerful executives within Fu Corporation.
The two of them had been working together behind the scenes, planning to eliminate Fu Sheng and seize control of the entire Fu family empire.
Once Fu Sheng died, Fu Lianhua would inherit significant influence within the family.
With Gu Heng controlling the corporate side of things, they would effectively dominate the Fu Corporation together.
Their ambition had been enormous.
But their plan collapsed the moment the evidence surfaced.
Both Fu Lianhua and Gu Heng were arrested almost immediately.
The court proceedings moved swiftly.
The evidence presented was overwhelming—financial records, medical reports, witness testimony, and even recordings that proved their conspiracy beyond doubt.
The entire country watched the trial unfold through live broadcasts and constant news coverage.
Netizens flooded social media with reactions.
The comment sections exploded.
"First the Hua family scandal, now the Fu family too?"
"Are all rich families this terrifying?"
"I can’t believe this... the capital is like a battlefield."
"Who’s next? Which family will shock us tomorrow?"
"Honestly, after hearing all this, ordinary life suddenly feels peaceful."
The discussions spread everywhere—from online forums to television debates. freeweɓnovel.cøm
People analyzed every detail of the case.
The scandal quickly became one of the most talked-about events of the year.
Within a few months, the verdict was finally delivered.
Fu Lianhua and Gu Heng were both sentenced to decades in prison for murder, attempted murder, and conspiracy.
Their downfall marked the end of yet another dark Chapter within the capital’s elite circles.
Months passed.
Gradually, the storm settled.
The scandals faded from daily headlines.
Life slowly returned to normal.
One quiet evening, inside the Fu residence, Hua Jing was sitting beside Fu Jingrong on the sofa in the living room.
The windows were open, allowing the cool evening air to drift inside.
Fu Jingrong had his arm wrapped comfortably around her shoulders, holding her close while the two of them enjoyed the rare peace that had finally entered their lives.
Suddenly, as if remembering something important, Fu Jingrong frowned slightly. freewebnσvel.cѳm
"We haven’t held a wedding."
Hua Jing blinked and looked up at him.
"But I already married you."
Fu Jingrong nodded.
"Yes," he said. "You did."
Then his lips curved into a faint smile.
"But a wedding would still be fitting."
He shifted slightly so he could look directly into her eyes.
"Hua Jing," he said softly, his voice filled with warmth and sincerity. His eyes also sparkled as they centred on Hua Jing, making her the centre of his world
"Will you marry me again?"
