"Alright, I'll get her out first," Feng Yan asked, "Which hospital?"
Sasha gave the hospital's address and name, but she didn't want to go with Feng Yan.
"Uncle, this is all I can do for you. I'm still a daughter-in-law of the Xie family, so it's inconvenient for me to appear with you. But please, you must save Mom."
Feng Yan understood her meaning and nodded, saying, "Okay, I'll take people there now. Don't worry, it won't implicate you."
Sasha looked grateful. Without Feng Rou as a shield now, she didn't dare to make a move against Zhan Jiayi easily. She withdrew all the people sent to find opportunities to cause trouble, waiting to see if Feng Rou could be released.
...
After Xie Zhendong finished his call with Zhan Jiayi, he learned that the people lingering around their residence were gone.
He knew this move was correct. It was indeed Feng Rou causing trouble. Once she was in the psychiatric hospital, there would be no more problems.
Just then, his phone rang again. He saw it was the private number of the psychiatric hospital's director.
He answered immediately, "Director Lu, what is it?"
"Your wife's brother has come to our hospital with people, insisting on taking your wife out. Hurry and come take a look," the director said urgently. "If this continues, I'm afraid the media will be alerted, and it will be difficult to handle."
Xie Zhendong was greatly surprised. How did Feng Yan know about this? His information was so accurate.
"I understand. I'll call him right away. Don't worry, it won't cause you any trouble."
He hung up Director Lu's call and immediately called Feng Yan.
Seeing it was his call, Feng Yan walked aside and said angrily, "Why are you treating my sister like this? Have you forgotten who helped your Xie family through their difficulties back then!"
"I haven't forgotten," Xie Zhendong said in a deep voice. "Haven't we helped your Feng family through many difficulties over the years?"
Feng Yan's momentum faltered. "I don't care. My sister is a perfectly healthy person and is not crazy at all. Hurry and have the doctors here release her!"
"Don't make a scene at the hospital. Withdraw your people and come to my office to talk," Xie Zhendong said commandingly.
"I want to get her out now!"
"It seems I'll have to find other suppliers for the raw materials our Xie Corporation needs..."
"Are you threatening me?"
"I just want to choose better partners. Do you think I don't know how your factory cuts corners on cement and gravel?" Xie Zhendong said coldly. "Later, I'll have to have people re-screen it and pay for your goods to pass quality inspection. Why should I continue to cooperate with you?"
"Fine, I'll go to your office." Feng Yan had no choice but to compromise and told the people he brought to stop causing trouble.
Feng Yan went to Xie Zhendong's office. The Feng family's company now relied entirely on Xie Zhendong for survival; he had no other choice.
Xie Zhendong sat at his desk, half his face in shadow.
Feng Yan couldn't help but recall the Xie Zhendong of the past, who was like an obedient dog, fawning over their father in their home.
Years had passed, and the aura Xie Zhendong had cultivated was chilling. Truly, fortunes had turned.
"Brother-in-law, if my sister has done anything wrong in your Xie family, you can let her change," Feng Yan said in a softer tone. "My sister is absolutely sincere towards you. We are family, why must it come to this?"
Xie Zhendong looked at the eldest son of the Feng family. He remembered how Feng Yan used to put on airs in front of him, deliberately making things difficult, forcing him to bow his head again and again, to be more humble and more humble, just to marry Feng Rou.
Now he spoke of family, but in Feng Yan's eyes, he had never been treated as family; it was just a matter of elevating some and stepping on others.
"I know Feng Rou's feelings for me, of course. But she is crazy now and needs proper treatment."
"That's impossible." Feng Yan asked, "Do you have someone else outside? I've also seen some gossip online. It's too heartless to cast my sister aside like this!"
"Since you understand, I'll be direct," Xie Zhendong said, as if negotiating with an opponent. "After I divorce her smoothly, my support for the Feng family will not change. You can then take her out, and I will give the alimony to you, and you will take care of her."
"It doesn't have to be a divorce..."
"You have another option." Xie Zhendong didn't want to listen to his hypocritical words. "Continue to make a scene now, perhaps you can help her. However, I will no longer provide any support to your company. I don't care, as long as you can afford it, you can sue me for a long time."
Feng Yan's expression became hesitant. "This..."
Xie Zhendong didn't have much time to waste with him. He said, "You can go back and consider it, and give me your answer after you've thought it through."
"Okay, as long as you are willing to continue helping my company," Feng Yan agreed quickly and asked, "How much alimony will you provide?"
Xie Zhendong really didn't expect him to reply so quickly.
He claimed to want to help his sister, but he was quite decisive when it came to his own interests.
Xie Zhendong said dismissively, "A house, plus tens of thousands of yuan in monthly alimony, Feng Rou will definitely never be able to spend it all."
"Then it's settled." Feng Yan was satisfied with the terms, thinking that when he brought Feng Rou back, he could still get a good deal.
Xie Zhendong added, "By the way, if anyone questions it, you'll need to testify."
"Testify about what?"
"You need to help me prove that Feng Rou has had mental problems since childhood, and that your Feng family has always concealed this matter," Xie Zhendong said, looking into his eyes.
"This, is this necessary?" Feng Yan was intimidated by Xie Zhendong's gaze and had to agree, "Okay, I understand."
As he left Xie Zhendong's office, he felt a pang of unease. He never expected that Xie Zhendong today could push their Feng family to this extent.
However, he couldn't sacrifice his entire family for Feng Rou. Only by sacrificing Feng Rou alone could the entire family be preserved, and the Feng family could maintain its dignity in high society.
...
Sasha waited at home for news from Feng Yan, thinking that with Feng Rou's own brother coming forward, that psychiatric hospital would surely not dare to refuse to release her.
But she waited and waited, and by evening, she hadn't received any calls from Feng Yan.
She had to call him herself. She called twice, but no one answered.
It wasn't until her third call that the other party answered, but a woman's voice came through.
"Who are you?"
Sasha recognized the voice as Feng Yan's wife. She said, "Auntie, it's me, Sasha. Is Uncle there? He went to the psychiatric hospital today to pick up Mom..."
"Sasha, there are some things you might not know," Feng Yan's wife sighed. "Actually, your mother-in-law has had mental problems since she was a child, but your uncle and the others kept it from the outside. I didn't expect your mother-in-law to relapse at this age. There's nothing that can be done..."
"That's not right. Mom isn't sick, and I haven't heard you mention it before." Sasha interrupted her, surprised that within a day, Feng Yan didn't even dare to answer her calls and had his wife say such things.
