Love Me Harder, Mr. Fu Chapter 178
Advertisement
Coming back from her room, carrying a laptop with her, Shi Lian is determined to let her father see what's the truth is.
Mo Zheng Yuan is growling like an angry madman and Sha Sha as well is trying to calm him down.
Ignoring her father's yells, she turned on her laptop and inserted the pen drive into it. With the counting of the file loading, her heart is beating faster and faster. She is badly hoping that it should not be fake.
"What are you trying to show us?" he bellows impatiently.
Shi Lian closes her eyes, controlling her temper to not snap at her father.
When the loading is done, she finally releases her breath which she is holding since she started the laptop.
There are eight files. Six of which are photos and two is a video. Her fingers shake and she gulps the hard lump down her throat.
She first clicks on the video and moves away from the screen. Although the screen isn't big, it's enough.
Her parents come closer to the laptop to get a more clear look. She glances at her father, finding his eyes heavily narrowed.
The video starts and when she sees her father, grandfather, and two other men who she is unable to identify, her eyes widen with horror.
Her father appears younger, his hair is jet black and her grandfather is more active than the last time she saw him.
She hears her mother gasps loudly, her fingers covering her mouth as she looks at the screen in complete shock. "Isn't... Isn't that you, father, brother-in-law's?" she asks her husband who is also as shocked as her.
"Father, killing him won't solve the problem" her father in the video argues, his expression twisted.
Killing whom?
"So do I let him threaten my family then?" her grandfather's voice thunders and he glares at Zheng Yuan.
Another man, whom she guesses is her second uncle interjects. "But Father, what if this gets leaked out? We would be in big trouble."
Shi Lian has no idea what they were discussing about but she will know soon.
"No one dares to go against me. They fear me, respect me, and will not even think of betraying me" her grandfather states, thumping his thick long stick on the floor.

"Yes, father. What you are saying is absolutely correct. Killing him will be the best solution" another man chimes. There's no doubt for Shi Lian to guess that it's her third uncle. He is always the same.
"Who even recorded this?" she hears her father asks, his eyes glued to the screen.
"To protect which is ours by killing someone isn't called a crime," her grandfather says, like a wise old man, looking at her father and her second uncle. Her father and her second do not agree with their father and if Shi Lian was there, she would be disagreeing as well. Killing isn't the only option one has.
"This isn't a good decision, father. We have our wives and children. What if it affects them?" her second uncle says. She has seen him only once or twice as he lives abroad.
"Be a man. You are my son, Zhengzhou" her grandfather asserts sternly.
The first question in her mind is who is even recording this? Was it the man who wanted the ring or someone else? And it's been recorded without the men's knowledge.
Their voice gets lower and Shi Lian cannot hear it properly. She leans closer but the words are twisted.
"We killed him the next day and buried his body," her father says, barely even aware of his surrounding. Who was killed? Why was he killed? Shi Lian has so many questions in her mind and every second that passes, it doubles.
The man must have been trying to hide his phone or from whatever he was recording as the video starts getting blur and the position changes.
"You! Get out!" she hears her father yelling at someone in the video.
"So-sorry sir" comes the voice from an unfamiliar man. The man who was recording it. Since he left, the video ends there. But soon after that, another video starts playing. This one is different from the first.
"Dig faster!" her second uncle yells and digs the ground. The video is at a distance but their voices can be heard. It's raining but the three men— her second uncle, her father, and her third uncle are digging the ground without stopping. What is digging that for?
Then she remembers what her father has just said now. After killing the person they will bury him under the earth. A gasp comes out from her mouth thinking that her father has killed someone.

The video seems to be edited as the time was shortened and now they are holding the man's body and dropping him inside the casket which they made. Who is the man even?
"Work fast before anyone sees us!" After dumping the man inside, they started to put the soil over it to cover it completely.
They are already seen.
"Oh my god!" her mother gasps, standing beside her. She is as a shock as Shi Lian. Her father must not have told her.
She turns to face Zheng Yuan who looks as if he has been hit by a truck. All the colors from his face seem to have faded. "When...Who is he?" she questions, her tone unstable.
Zheng Yuan remains silent as if hasn't heard her. Tears start to roll from her eyes as she looks at her husband, who is also a murderer.
"Who is he, Yuan!?" she demands, her voice loud and sharp. It's the first time that her mother is raised her voice which is surprising for Shi Lian.
His father answers, almost like a whisper. "Chuanli."
His eyes remain on the screen and he dare not look up.
Looking at her mother's face, she is sure that she knows who the man is. Her eyes are wide and they look as if her eyeballs will pop out any second.
"What? But you told me you only fired him?" she implores, demanding answers.
Shi Lian has paused the video and now all her attention is on her parents. Not only hers but the people who are present in the room. Her parents seem to forget that they aren't alone here.
"The decision about killing him was of the father when he got a threatening call from him. You know father, so he then ordered us to finish his case as you have seen in the video" he says.
"Oh my god" her mother cries, putting her palm on her face, grieving.
Her father then turns to look at Shi Lian. She instantly becomes conscious and straightens her back. "Where did you get this?" he asks.
"The man who wanted the ring. He made a deal if giving me this if I hand him the ring" she tells with honesty.
"Do you know who the man is?"
Shi Lian tried asking his name but he never disclosed it. She shakes her head. "No"
"Where is he now?" her father questions. She takes her time to think about whether to tell him that he is with Zichen. Well, he already knows where she went and also about the Zichen so there's no harm in telling him.
"Zichen took him," she says.
Her father makes an aggravated face and pinches the bridge of his nose.
"Start the video" he then tells her and she does by clicking on the enter key.
They were don't burying him. Their faces and dresses were wet and covered in mud but they didn't care about that.
The camera moves, making movements as if the holder was shaking. "I'll take revenge on you" a voice came, making the hair on her skin rise. It is from the one who was recording it. Who was he and what is his connection to the dead man?
The video again gets shrilly and ends right there.
She pauses the video before another one starts.
It is now her turn to demand answers from her father. "Who is Chuanli?" she asks both her parents.
Sha Sha weeps but she speaks up, "your uncle's secretary who tried to take the ring."
She remembers her mother telling her story. He was fired but the truth is, he was killed. He was killed and nobody knows about it except for the one who is holding the camera. He said about taking revenge, was he the creepy man? She cannot recognize him by his voice so she isn't sure.
"What happened after that?" she questions.
Her father sighs a heavy one. "We acted as if nothing has happened but the guilt was always there. I and Zhengzhou felt guilty for years but it faded as time passed. He left the country because the picture of Chuanli haunted him."
So that is the reason for her uncle's shifting to Europe. He never came back after that, not even once.

Connections | ✔️
[COMPLETE] Soz this may be cringe, it was written very long ago A seemingly ordinary, working college girl meets a cool, undeniably sexy boy with millions of followers at his feet. How will their completely different lives allow, or prevent them from getting what they want? Expect some drama, flirty lines, steamy scenes, funny best friends, and perhaps, an overall epic love connection. ~Carter came around the corner as his eyes darkened with a predatory gaze. Oh no. He took a step forward, minimalizing the distance with every dominating stride, as I froze in my spot. My breath hitched as his arms finally encircled my waist and his eyes locked with mine. In one swift motion, he flipped my body so my back was pressed against his chest and hands gripped the curve of my hips. "What game are you trying to play at Valerie?" he spoke in a husky voice. Goosebumps danced along my skin as his hot breath fanned against the shell of my ear and his fingertips lit a trail of blazing heat along the length of my arm. Mentally shaking myself from the trance of that which is Carter Bryson, I tilted my head towards him and whispered; "One where you'll lose." Quickly escaping his hold on me before the tension became unbearable, I spun on my heel to face him and slowly backed away towards the exit. "Good luck though." I added mischievously.With a smirk and a devilish glint in his eyes that could even give hell a run for its money, he replied; "I'm not a player though, baby. I'm the gamemaker."~❗️Mature content.
