Chapter 64: Still a Chance of Success

Fu Yuzhou’s words startled Luo Yuheng.

“Old Fu, did I hear you right? You want me to arrest Chen Guihua?

She’s the precious daughter of Captain Chen, arresting her is asking for trouble.

I can’t afford to offend Chen Rulai, nor dare I.”

Chen Rulai was the head of the Hongguang Brigade Commune, wielding immense power that Luo Yuheng, a young intellectual sent to the countryside, couldn’t challenge.

“Look at your lack of ambition!”

Fu Yuzhou narrowed his eyes at Luo Yuheng, his eyes filled with disdain.

“With your courage, it’s hard to imagine that you could kneel before Su Yao last night.”

Luo Yuheng, “Are these two situations the same?”

“No, Su Yao is the woman you love, Chen Guihua is just a troublemaker who plotted against me, the two are not comparable.”

“Rarely do you show such self-awareness.”

Luo Yuheng raised an eyebrow at Fu Yuzhou, “If you’re so clear-headed, you shouldn’t be looking for me, go to the law enforcement department, it might be more direct!”

“Fool, if I could go to the law enforcement department, would I still need you?

Chu Ning threw away the soda bottle long ago, finding it now might not be possible.”

Many people drank soda at last night’s party, it’s impossible to search every single bottle.

Even if they found it, there might not be any drugged soda left in the bottle.

“We need to find new evidence.”

Fu Yuzhou believed that if Chen Guihua plotted against him once, she would do it again.

Luo Yuheng looked at Fu Yuzhou, “What do you want me to do?”

“I’ll tell you.”

Fu Yuzhou leaned close to Luo Yuheng’s ear and whispered something.

Upon hearing this, Luo Yuheng’s eyes narrowed, “Is this even possible? The health center is crowded, even if Chen Guihua is daring, she wouldn’t dare to do anything under everyone’s eyes!”

“Desperate dogs jump over walls, desperate rabbits bite people, since Chen Guihua dared to drug me, she will resort to stronger measures, trust me.”

Luo Yuheng was hesitant, “Okay, I’ll try your method, if Chen Guihua doesn’t fall for it, then I can’t do anything.”

“Mm.”

Fu Yuzhou was economical with words.

Following that, Luo Yuheng immediately took him to the health center according to Fu Yuzhou’s plan.

At the same time, news of Fu Yuzhou’s stay at the health center spread throughout the Hongguang Brigade Commune.

•  

Chen Rulai’s home.

Chen Guihua searched for Fu Yuzhou all night without success, she was about to explode.

She drugged Fu Yuzhou, waiting to reap the rewards.

Unexpectedly, Fu Yuzhou disappeared as soon as the party started.

Su Yao’s hopes were dashed, and she was left with nothing but disappointment.

The bedsheets and quilts she had prepared in the haystack hadn’t been retrieved yet; she hid them in a more secluded place in the morning.

She couldn’t understand how Fu Yuzhou, a grown man, could have such uncanny abilities.

Otherwise, a grown man, searched for all night by the entire commune, couldn’t be found!

“Dad, maybe we should call the police.”

Chen Guihua couldn’t wait any longer.

Fu Yuzhou drank her soda and was drugged.

The seller said it was the latest drug, only a little was needed.

However, she thought Fu Yuzhou was a man, and a man not easily subdued by her.

Just in case, she took extra precautions; no other woman disappeared in the entire brigade except for Fu Chen.

She wasn’t afraid of Fu Yuzhou falling for other women.

She was only worried that the dosage was too strong, and it might endanger his life.

If a life was lost, it would be a disaster!

Moreover, she couldn’t bear to see Fu Yuzhou get hurt.

Chen Rulai knew his daughter liked Fu Yuzhou, and Fu Yuzhou’s sudden disappearance made his daughter anxious, which was normal.

“Don’t worry, you have to wait 24 hours to report to the police, they won’t accept the report now.”

“But I’m worried about him having an accident!”

“What accident? He’s a grown man, it’s one thing to stand someone up, but hiding and not letting anyone find him is really puzzling.”

“He shouldn’t have done it on purpose, he must have some reason.”

“Reason?”

Chen Rulai didn’t understand his daughter’s words, “What reason could he have?”

Seeing his daughter’s hesitant expression, Chen Rulai asked, “Guihua, do you know something?

Or did you secretly have someone kidnap Fu Yuzhou, and then he escaped?”

Ever since Chen Guihua found out that Fu Yuzhou danced with Su Yao, she had been furious.

She had threatened him more than once, “Dad, if you don’t help me, I’ll have someone kidnap Fu Yuzhou.”

He angrily scolded her, “You’ve gone mad, it’s just a man, do you have to resort to kidnapping?

Have you ever thought about my feelings as the brigade head?

I’m your father, if this happens, where will I put my face as the brigade head?

How can I maintain my authority in front of others?”

“What’s the use of your authority? You still can’t help me get Fu Yuzhou?”

Chen Rulai stomped his feet in anger, “It’s not me who can’t get Fu Yuzhou, it’s you, he doesn’t like you.

Instead of being angry at home, you should find the problem in yourself and improve yourself.

Or ask Fu Chen properly, what kind of woman Fu Yuzhou likes.

Transform yourself into the kind of woman Fu Yuzhou likes, and then gradually win his heart.”

“That will take forever, by then, I’ll be old and haggard, Fu Yuzhou won’t like an old woman.”

Although Fu Yuzhou was three years older than her, women age faster than men.

She was already twenty years old, the age for marriage.

If it weren’t for her liking Fu Yuzhou, she would have been married off by her father long ago.

“There’s nothing I can do, if you don’t accept it, give up on Fu Yuzhou and marry someone else.”

However, her daughter’s attitude remained firm.

“No, I don’t want to!”

Therefore, Chen Guihua, in desperation, decided to resort to drastic measures against Fu Yuzhou.

She wanted to use tricks to get Fu Yuzhou.

However, Chen Rulai didn’t know any of this.

Naturally, Chen Guihua wouldn’t admit it when Chen Rulai questioned her.

“I don’t know anything, and I don’t have the ability to kidnap Fu Yuzhou.”

Chen Rulai looked at Chen Guihua, “Then why are you asking this?”

“I…”

Before Chen Guihua could speak, Chen’s mother rushed in and interrupted them.

“Found him, Battalion Commander Fu has been found.”

Chen Guihua was overjoyed and jumped up from the stool.

“Mom, where is Fu Yuzhou?”

“I heard he was found drunk and unconscious in his equipment warehouse, and was sent to the health center by Deputy Battalion Commander Chen.”

“Drunk?”

Chen Guihua was confused.

How could Fu Yuzhou be drunk, she only added drugs to the soda last night, not alcohol.

Could it be that the increased dosage of the drug has the same effect as being drunk, causing unconsciousness?

“I don’t know the details, I heard he was unconscious all night and hasn’t woken up yet.”

“I’ll go see him, I’ll go see him now.”

Fu Yuzhou hadn’t woken up yet.

Therefore, seizing this opportunity, she still had a chance of success.
