Chapter 42 - Where's Chang Yuan

“What???”

Lin Luoluo looked shocked.

She quickly moved to the window and looked down.

Below the company’s building, there were over a dozen fire department vehicles parked, their rooftop lights flashing continuously, forming an extremely dazzling sight.

Lin Luoluo’s complexion turned exceedingly ugly.

She hadn’t expected that after Liu Mingyuan did that sort of thing, he would still dare to come and actively cause trouble.

That was too arrogant.

“Have the PR department stabilize them first; I will go down to handle it myself immediately.”

“Yes, President Lin.”

The secretary rushed out hurriedly.

But just as she opened the door to the office, she froze.

Outside the office, Yang Hao had arrived with a horde of angry shareholders.

Yang Hao pushed the secretary aside and strode in.

“What are you doing??”

Lin Luoluo said furiously.

Yang Hao responded with a cold voice,

“That’s what we should be asking you, President Lin.

What’s the deal with the fire department?

Why have they suddenly come looking for trouble with the group?”

The other shareholders also voiced their anger,

“This matter has had an extremely bad impact.

In just around ten minutes, Lin’s Group’s stock price has already dropped by three points.”

“President Lin, shouldn’t you give us an explanation?”

“Exactly, what on earth is going on?”

The shareholders were seething with emotion.

Lin Luoluo’s face looked troubled, and she took a deep breath.

“Let’s talk in the conference room.”

Zhou Yu was drinking tea at the Department of Engineering when Wang Miao came running over in a panic.

“Brother Yu, something bad has happened.

The fire department people have suddenly come to make trouble at the company, and Yang Hao has brought a group of shareholders to make accusations.

It seems like President Lin is in big trouble.”

Zhou Yu’s eyes narrowed slightly.

This must be part of Chang Yuan and Yang Hao’s plan.

He took out his phone and called Li He, instructing him to bring Chang Yuan to Lin’s Group.

Straight after, Zhou Yu also made his way to the conference room.

Inside the conference room, as expected, chaos reigned.

Yang Hao spoke loudly,

“President Lin, at this point, do you still plan to hide the truth?”

Lin Luoluo’s face was livid.

“Yang Hao, this is clearly you and Chang Yuan in cahoots, framing me.”

Yang Hao laughed coldly,

“President Lin, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Lin Luoluo countered angrily,

“You can deny it all you want, I’ll confront Chang Yuan.”

Having said that, she ordered her secretary,

“Summon Chang Yuan here.”

The secretary’s face was uneasy, and she said in a low voice,

“President Lin…

Chang Yuan didn’t come to work today.”

“What?”

“Where is he?”

“I don’t know, I’ve called several times, but I can’t get through.”

Seeing this scene, a sly grin flickered in Yang Hao’s eyes.

He had contacted Chang Yuan the night before.

Chang Yuan had been missing since last night.

Yang Hao guessed that Chang Yuan was probably too scared and had gone into hiding.

Regardless, as long as Chang Yuan wasn’t at the company, that was sufficient.

“President Lin, where is Chang Yuan?

Bring him here, and I am willing to confront him face to face,” Yang Hao said with a cold laugh.

At that moment, Zhou Yu suddenly spoke up,

“President Lin, since he’s willing to confront Chang Yuan face to face, I’ll call Chang Yuan up.”

As soon as Zhou Yu spoke up, he immediately drew everyone’s attention.

Lin Luoluo was startled, only then noticing that Zhou Yu was also in the conference room.

Yang Hao’s face darkened.

“You again!”

“Sure, bring Chang Yuan up, I’d like to see that.”

Zhou Yu took out his phone and made a call.

After a moment, the door to the conference room opened.

A man in a suit walked in, leading someone.

It was Chang Yuan.

The smile on Yang Hao’s face instantly froze.

Lin Luoluo was livid with fury.

“Chang Yuan, what exactly happened at last night’s dinner?”

Chang Yuan turned pale and fell to his knees with a ‘thud’.

“President Lin, I’m sorry.

Last night, it was all orchestrated by Yang Hao.”

“Yang Hao knew that Liu Mingyuan had long coveted you, so he had me trick you to the club where Liu Mingyuan could drug you, all to ingratiate himself with Liu Mingyuan, make trouble for you, and force you to resign.”

Chang Yuan’s words immediately caused an uproar.

Although everyone was aware of the bad blood between Yang Hao and Lin Luoluo, they hadn’t imagined Yang Hao would resort to such despicable tactics.

In an instant, everyone turned their eyes to Yang Hao.

Yang Hao’s fists clenched as he stared coldly at Chang Yuan.

“Chang Yuan, you had better think carefully before you speak.

You know very well the consequences of slandering me.”

Who was more dangerous, Yang Hao or Li He?

Chang Yuan knew all too well.

He paid no heed to Yang Hao’s threats,

“I swear, everything I’ve said is true, there’s not a single lie.

Even if Liu Mingyuan were here, I’d say the same.”

Chang Yuan knelt on the floor, shaking as he spoke.

“Yang Hao!”

Lin Luoluo’s voice thundered in anger,

“Now, what do you have to say for yourself?”

Yang Hao glanced at Chang Yuan coldly and then laughed scornfully,

“His words are utter slander.”

“The entire company knows about the discord between me and Chang Yuan.

This is clearly the two of you conspiring to frame me.”

Yang Hao’s words left everyone momentarily stunned.

Yes, of course.

For three years now, the whole company had seen Chang Yuan being oppressed by Yang Hao.

Chang Yuan hurriedly said,

“Yang Hao forced me to act in that farce; in truth, I’ve always been his man, including the contact information for Liu Mingyuan, which was given to me by Yang Hao.”

Yang Hao laughed coldly,

“So what you mean is, Liu Mingyuan, the Deputy Chief of the Yancheng Fire Department, intentionally broke both of his legs just to act in my play?”
