Chapter 219: Chapter 219
Fu Bing received the information from Junying early the next morning.
Junying had sent over all the news related to Qin Sheng.
Fu Bing was surprised by Junying’s efficiency and his attitude. They had cooperated for many years, and he had always been straightforward about money for services, with clearly delineated prices. How much money for how much work was always very clear. He wouldn’t share specific information with her before they agreed on a price.
Fu Bing replied, "Information received. Name your price."
Su Junying had marked messages from Ya Rui for special attention. Whenever there was news from her, it would jump to the top of his feed so he could see it immediately.
Su Junying: "Consider it a New Year’s gift for you and Fu Bing."
Fu Bing still sent Su Junying a large red envelope.
Su Junying was very happy to receive it.
Su Junhui stood at the doorway of the room, watching Su Junying grinning broadly. "In love?"
"How could I be?" Su Junying denied it without a second thought.
"You wouldn’t be smiling like that if you weren’t. You look like a maniac."
Without looking, Su Junying threw a decorative pillow at him. "I’m chatting with a very good friend."
Su Junhui caught the pillow with one hand. "Grandma is being discharged from the hospital today. Are you planning to go home?"
"Seeing you , you definitely have no plans to go back. Does everyone at home know Fu Bing is our sister yet?"
"We, Eldest Brother, Dad, and Second Uncle know. Grandma knows too."
"You told Second Uncle?"
Su Junhui didn’t deny it. "He can help us."
After some consideration, Su Junying asked, "What are Eldest Brother’s thoughts?"
He wasn’t close to his eldest brother. To him, his eldest brother felt as distant as his father; it was like there was a generation gap. Even though their eldest brother wasn’t much older, Su Junying still wasn’t in the habit of discussing important matters with him.
"Eldest Brother’s thoughts align with ours."
"Then let’s arrange to meet with Eldest Brother, and we can discuss how to handle this together."
"He’s already on his way."
Even after a gap of more than twenty years, their first reaction upon discovering their sister’s identity was to clear all obstacles, ensuring she had a home to return to—even if she learned the whole story later and chose not to come back.
As they were speaking, the doorbell rang.
Su Junxian arrived with breakfast. "Let’s eat first, then we can talk."
The three brothers skipped the pleasantries and quickly ate their meal.
After eating, Su Junxian said, "Currently, the Qin Group and the Qin Family are constantly embroiled in negative news; it’s a good opportunity to strike. I will deal with them from a business perspective, while other families are also eagerly waiting to pounce on a share of the Qin Family’s assets.
"Our Su Family has past connections with the Qin Family, so I’ll focus on maintaining our public reputation. You two can operate more freely behind the scenes. If anything goes wrong, I’ll take responsibility."
Su Junxian’s words deeply stirred Su Junhui and Su Junying.
They instantly remembered their high-spirited eldest brother. He had always been the most brilliant one in any crowd, a true stabilizing anchor. His mere presence naturally drew everyone to him, making him the center of attention. He began interning at the family company during college, working his way up from the most basic tasks to secure his current position. He had been forced to mature quickly, adopting a steadiness and maturity that belied his age. A suit might have encased his playful and vibrant soul, but his inherent integrity and passion could still burst forth at crucial moments.
Su Junhui said, "Eldest Brother, if there are things that are inconvenient for you to do, you must tell us. We aren’t as restricted as you are."
"Mm," Su Junxian nodded, then looked toward Su Junying. "I know you’ve been struggling these past few years, constantly blaming yourself. Now that our sister is close by, clear the path for her to come home. When she returns, apologize to her in person. That’s more effective than running off to hide around the world."
"Who said I was hiding?" Su Junying muttered under his breath.
"You know exactly what I mean," Su Junxian said, not wasting any more words on it. My youngest brother is sensitive; it’s best to be firm when talking to him. If I’m not, he’ll overthink things.
"Junhui, meticulously study Xiaobing’s case file from back then. List out all the issues with her case clearly and comprehensively so that everyone can understand. We will wash away the stains on her reputation one by one." She was always such an innocent person. Strangers dragged her into a vortex, turning her into a target. If being a Su meant enduring such slander, then he and his brothers should have been the ones to face these hardships and criticisms, not the youngest in their family!
A fire ignited in the chests of Su Junhui and Su Junying, instantly filling them with strength.
"I’m already working on it," Su Junhui stated. During his investigation, he discovered that everyone involved in Fu Bing’s case back then had since been transferred from their original posts; some had even retired or changed careers. These aren’t insurmountable obstacles, he thought. If necessary, I’ll use the Su Family’s influence to apply pressure.
"Very good," Su Junxian said. "Don’t be afraid of tarnishing the Su Family’s name. If we can’t resolve Xiaobing’s matter, then the entire Su Family will truly lose face!"
Su Junxian turned his gaze to Su Junying. "Investigate Qin Sheng, Qin Jinmo, and Qin Zhiheng thoroughly. If utilized properly, Qin Jinmo and Qin Zhiheng can be valuable allies. I currently have a partnership with Qin Jinmo, but I don’t have a clear understanding of his current state and need more information to inform my judgment of him."
"I’ll get right on it," Su Junying replied, not feeling at all like he was being ordered around. I originally thought I had no rivals in hacking. Only recently did I realize I’d been too arrogant. If I encounter that person who intercepted my information again, I’d relish another chance to compete with them.
"Alright," Su Junxian clapped his hands. "Let’s each focus on what we can do. We’ll discuss other matters as they arise."
Su Junxian didn’t stay long. The Su Family had absorbed a significant portion of the market value the Qin Family had lost in recent days. More from the Qin Family will belong to us; it’s what they owe Xiaobing, he thought. I have to save all of this and give it to her when she comes home.
Besides asking Junying for help, Fu Bing also had people from Ya Garden gather information.
Ya Garden was actually one of the best places to collect top-level information. When clients came for tailored clothes and measurements, they would often chat about various matters in the receiving hall. Staff members with sharp ears and keen observation skills would efficiently summarize this information for her.
A few years ago, Ya Garden had evolved beyond just an embroidery studio; it also offered beauty and wellness services. These were exclusive, customized services available only to its members. Especially after Fu Bing represented China’s traditional medicine team in a competition, the Beauty Enhancement Pills and other health-focused pills developed by Fu Bing and Aunt Ning were also introduced at Ya Garden. These products weren’t pushed on clients, nor were they sold in large quantities. Occasionally, if a client looked unwell and had an important banquet or meeting, the staff might offer them these items. Ya Garden primarily advocated for achieving a healthy complexion through physical exercise.
Huang Ruoqing was giving massages to Han Liying and Jiang Yuanshan.
Jiang Yuanshan had been a close friend of Han Liying before her marriage. Both had married in the same year, but Jiang Yuanshan had wed a wealthy businessman in Jiangnan and usually resided there. Only when they returned to their maternal homes for the New Year did they have the chance to go out together.
Jiang Yuanshan asked, "With the recent turmoil in the Qin Group, what do you all plan to do?"
After Han Liying had awakened, Jiang Yuanshan’s husband, Yu Siyun, had become much more restrained. He stopped his philandering and treated Jiang Yuanshan with significantly more respect, hoping to stabilize his relationship with the Su Family through her.
Jiang Yuanshan despised Yu Siyun’s maneuvers, but for the sake of her three children, she had no choice but to comply.
