"I, I..."
Fu Siya hadn’t recovered from the shock that Old Mr. Fu was still alive when she saw that everyone present was looking at her.
How could this happen... How could it be like this.
The killer clearly said he had pushed Grandpa into the sea, how on earth did Grandpa survive?
And the way Grandpa is looking at her, does he know it was her who hired someone to kill him?
Could it be that Li Muchen told Grandpa the whole truth?!
Fu Siya immediately looked towards Li Muchen, who stood behind Old Mr. Fu.
But the man’s expression was as cold as ever, utterly inscrutable to her, yet Fu Siya dismissed this suspicion the next second.
There was no way Li Muchen would tell Grandpa about it.
His grandmother’s life depends solely on the medicine in her hand; he was on her side.
If her hiring of the assassin got exposed, if she were taken away by the police, who would treat his grandmother afterward?
No matter what, she absolutely couldn’t admit to this.
If the public found out she hired a killer to murder her own grandfather, her life would be over!
"Grandpa... what are you talking about, how would I know what this is all about?"
Fu Siya’s eyes were red with tears, "Grandpa, I’ve been searching for you at sea with the police and the salvage team for three days, and we couldn’t find any trace of you."
"So you really didn’t have an accident, right? Thank heavens, I thought that... I thought you were... Grandpa, it’s so wonderful you’re still alive!"
As Fu Siya spoke, she couldn’t stop her tears, seemingly crying from extreme excitement and joy.
However, the more genuine and emotional she appeared on stage, the more disappointed Old Mr. Fu looked in his eyes.
"At this point, you are still pretending," said Old Mr. Fu, "Siya, you have truly disappointed me."
"The reason I chose to appear at the press conference today is to decide that even if it damages the Fu Family’s reputation, I want to teach you a lesson and make you pay for your actions."
Hearing this, Fu Siya was momentarily stunned, even forgetting to wipe the tears on her face, when she saw Old Mr. Fu look towards the journalists beside him.
"Ladies and gentlemen of the press, my public appearance today is to set things right in my family. Although this matter is a disgrace to the Fu Family, this old man is not afraid of your articles to spread the word."
"The will displayed on the big screen by my granddaughter is not at all drafted by me; it was forged by her bribing my lawyer."
"My falling into the sea this time was also not an accident at all; somebody hired a killer to push me off the cruise ship, aiming for my life."
"And the person who hired this killer to murder me is none other than my dearly cherished granddaughter, Fu Siya!"
Hissss—
Upon hearing Old Mr. Fu’s words, everyone present gasped in shock.
What...?
The will was forged by Fu Siya bribing the lawyer, and Old Mr. Fu was murdered by Fu Siya hiring someone?
Old Mr. Fu then called out to Lu Sheng, "Nannan."
The next second, Lu Sheng took something resembling a remote control out of her pocket and pressed it towards the big screen on the stage.
Suddenly, the will initially shown on the big screen switched to two images.
On the left was a screenshot of a chat conversation, and on the right was a screenshot of a transfer of one million dollars.
The chat conversation stood out prominently, just four lines.
"[The old man is in the second-floor VIP lounge of the cruise, find an opportunity to push him into the sea, and make sure it looks like an accidental fall.]"
