Chapter 207 Conspiracy Trap
Chapter 207 of "Supreme Divine Physician in the City" opens with: Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Conspiracy Trap The theft of funds from the companyâs finance department... See what unfolds next!
Chapter 207: Chapter 207 Conspiracy Trap The theft of funds from the companyâs finance department was something Lin Tong had learned about by noon, and she was now underway with the investigation. However, just earlier, Lin Zifeng had come to her office, saying that the thief who took the companyâs money had been caught, and was inviting her to watch a good show.
When the CEO and the Deputy CEO came over together, the crowd parted, clearing a path for the two of them.
With her cold and stunning appearance and tall figure, Lin Tong walked at the forefront, with Lin Zifeng trailing behind her, as they approached Ma Zhitao.
As they passed by Liu Hongfei, Lin Zifeng shot him a look, to which Liu Hongfei returned a glance, revealing a sinister smirk.
Ha ha, it was a complete success! Lin Zifeng secretly reveled in his heart, glancing at Ye Xuan, then suddenly asked loudly, "Captain Liu, have you identified the thief who took the companyâs money? Now that the CEO and I are here, tell us who it is, will you?"
The two had already planned this out, and with cooperation, Liu Hongfei responded, "Deputy CEO Lin, it has been found out. The thief is none other than the sales manager Ye Xuan!"
His voice was loud, as if he always spoke that way, with the purpose being that everyone could hear.
What!
Ye Xuan stole the companyâs money?
Lin Tong had a face full of dark lines, and inside her heart, countless "f**k" raced past!
Is it April Foolâs Day today? What in the world is Lin Zifeng trying to do?
She felt that perhaps her brotherâs brain had been squashed in a doorâYe Xuan was her own husband, his brother-in-law!
Would he steal money from the company? This was a jokeâ have you ever heard of someone stealing money from their own familyâs business?
"You say Ye Xuan stole money, do you have any evidence?"
Lin Tong asked coldly, feeling that this matter was not simple; surely someone was trying to frame her husband.
Although she knew the truth, with so many people present, the question still had to be asked!
However, she was already somewhat dissatisfied with Liu Hongfei; this person was actually framing her husband, his character must certainly be questionable.
"Exactly, Captain Liu, itâs important to have evidence for everything! Youâre the head of security, have you investigated thoroughly? Donât wrongly accuse anyone."
Lin Zifeng glanced at Lin Tong and asked in a feigned manner.
"Of course Iâve investigated thoroughly."
Liu Hongfei let out a cold laugh and pointed at the crowd, loudly saying, "Ye Xuan stole the purse of the financial department head Li Yanmei, tried to assault her when caught, and the companyâs lost money was found in this very purseâ now caught red-handed! Everyone here saw it, if you donât believe it you can ask them!"
By implicating the people who were present, Liu Hongfei had engineered a plot to collectively deal with Ye Xuan.
As long as all the employees believed that Ye Xuan had stolen their wages, they would be extremely angry and would ask the CEO to fire Ye Xuan!
Liu Hongfeiâs strategy was incredibly malicious, designed to corner Ye Xuan completely.
Little did he know, his words had already offended Lin Tong!
This man is really shameless, to frame her own husband in front of hundreds of people, utterly despicable.
Moreover, would her husband assault this older woman? Could you not be so naĂŻve? This pervert only targets beauties!
Lin Tongâs gaze was icy cold; this Liu Hongfei was clearly stirring up trouble intentionally, how could the company harbor such a sly scoundrel.
"CEO, Deputy CEO Lin, we can all testify that it was Ye Xuan who stole the companyâs money."
"Thatâs right, such a person must be expelled from the company, his character is seriously flawed!"
"Eastern Group doesnât need such harmful individuals, fire Ye Xuan!"
Under Liu Hongfeiâs instigation, the crowd all spoke up, demanding that Lin Tong fire Ye Xuan.
Because they had witnessed with their own eyes, the companyâs missing money was found inside that purseâthis was their hard-earned wages!
Ye Xuan having stolen the money naturally enraged everyone, and he became the target of their attacks.
Thieves, who reap without sowing, are the most despised of all people.
Just like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts to beat it! And now, Ye Xuan was just like that!
Hearing that everyone wanted to fire Ye Xuan, Zifeng and Liu Hongfei exchanged glances, showing a smile that suggested their scheme had succeeded.
"Fire him, we must! Our company doesnât need such unclean-handed individuals. Sister, you donât have any objections, do you?"
Zifeng stated righteously, his voice loud enough for everyone in the hall to hear, as he turned to smile at Lin Tong.
He knew that with Lin Tongâs protection, it would be impossible for him to fire Ye Xuan!
But even if Lin Tong continued to shield him, she had to consider the feelings of hundreds of employees; she couldnât possibly go against them.
Offending the public wrath was the most severe consequence, just as even an Emperor in ancient times could lose his empire once he incurred the wrath of the people!
Clearly, his plan had worked! Looking at the scene before him, everyone had been stirred up, filled with anger towards Ye Xuan.
This was the outcome Zifeng wanted. Who let Ye Xuan dare to hit Lin Dongfang?
That was like slapping the face of the Lin Family; he had to make Ye Xuan fall from grace, lose face before everyone, and be driven out of Eastern Group!
"Zifeng, just because the money was found in the bag doesnât prove it was Ye Xuan who took it."
After a moment of silence, Lin Tong coldly stated.
With her intelligence, it wasnât hard to see that Zifeng was deliberately targeting Ye Xuan, and it might well be him inciting this behind the scenes, wanting to frame Ye Xuan.
Although she guessed that it was Zifengâs doing, she had no way to prove it!
The people around had been fooled, thinking that it was Ye Xuan who stole the money. Public opinion had formed, and even as the CEO, she couldnât influence so many people. Otherwise, she would be accused of favoring a bad employee, which could lead to a strong backlash from the staff and even pose a significant risk to the Company!
Unless Ye Xuan could prove his innocence, she could then justifiably dismantle Zifengâs conspiracy.
So after speaking, she looked towards Ye Xuan, "Ye Xuan, did you steal Group Leader Liâs bag? Who took off her clothes?"
"CEO, as someone of my taste, how could I engage in such tasteless acts as theft and groping? It just doesnât make sense."
Ye Xuan shook his head, a hint of amusement at the corner of his mouth: "Besides, speaking of taking off her clothes, even if I wanted to act indecently, it would be towards a beautiful woman like you! That ugly old lady, just one look at her and Iâm scared I wonât be able to sleep at night."
Lin Tong did not expect that Ye Xuan would dare to tease her in front of so many people. What a shameless bastard!
She clenched her teeth secretly, glaring fiercely at Ye Xuan, and said, "Do you have any evidence to prove it?"
Ye Xuan shrugged and said, "The bag was something Manager Ma asked me to get from the warehouse. I didnât steal it, and this woman took off her own clothes, which has nothing to do with me! Itâs them two who have joined forces to frame me."
"Manager Ma, Group Leader Li, is that really the case?"
Lin Tong turned to Ma Zhitao and Li Yanmei, her gaze growing colder.
"CEO, donât listen to his nonsense. I certainly did not frame him, nor did I instruct him to take the bag. If you donât believe it, you can check the surveillance!"
Ma Zhitao categorically denied, confidently smiling.
He was the manager of the security department, and the surveillance system was under his control. He had already tampered with the surveillance by noon.
Even if they checked the surveillance, there would be nothing but darkness, no evidence to be found!
As expected, when Lin Tong sent someone to check the surveillance, there was nothing.
"Ha ha, Manager Ma and I donât know each other at all. How could we conspire to frame you?"
Li Yanmei laughed heartily, triumphantly looking at Ye Xuan.
"Is that so, are you sure you donât know this old guy?"
Ye Xuan narrowed his eyes towards Li Yanmei, his lips curling into an amused smile.
