"Don't worry, in all the years I've been in office, I've gotten to know many channels. I'm confident they won't just let this slide.
Just casually give me two to three hundred thousand yuan. After all, in jail, you need money for food and drink. This cold, damp environment isn't very pleasant!
I urgently need this money to get them to move me to a more comfortable place to stay until I'm out! I'll find Yang Zhiguo tomorrow to discuss how to resolve this matter. I believe he can help me.
At most three days, and within three days, I must be out of this hellhole!" He Lei said with great confidence. After all, he only needed to say he didn't know Brother Hu, and without more concrete evidence, Chen Lishu couldn't do much to him.
Upon hearing that He Lei could get out of this hellhole in about three days, Qin Lan breathed a sigh of relief. Wasn't it just a few hundred thousand? If he stuck closely to He Lei, not only a few hundred thousand but even millions would be easily earned!
So, he readily said, "Alright, Godfather. I'll have someone bring some cash over, and the remaining amount will be transferred to you via bank account.
If you need anything, you can contact me by phone. Don't worry, as long as I'm alive out here, I'll manage everything you need done meticulously!"
Seeing Qin Lan's prompt and agreeable response, He Lei's anger subsided considerably. He nodded and said, "Good, you truly are the son I personally nurtured! I knew my judgment was correct."
"Alright, Godfather, I still have other matters to attend to at my company, so I'll be leaving now."
He Lei waved at Qin Lan upon hearing his words, signaling that he could leave. After Qin Lan departed, he impatiently called for a guard and asked him to contact Yang Zhiguo.
----
About an hour later, Yang Zhiguo, led by a group of people, arrived at the room where He Lei was being held.
Seeing Yang Zhiguo, He Lei was relieved. "Brother Yang, you're finally here? I thought you'd all find me unlucky and keep your distance after this incident!"
A look of disdain appeared on Yang Zhiguo's face. To be honest, he did feel quite unlucky. However, thinking of the task Chen Lishu had assigned him, he could only suppress his disgust and ask, "Speak, why did you call me here?"
He Lei, with a fawning expression, then stated the purpose of his call: "Can you tell the boss that I didn't lay a hand on Miss Chen? This was all Brother Hu's scheme to frame me. We mustn't fall for this trap!"
Yang Zhiguo snorted coldly and said grumpily, "Brother Hu has long since retired from his old ways and has been involved in charity work for years. You know this even attracted the attention of higher-ups!
After the incident, Brother Hu presented the transaction records between the two of you. The facts prove that not only did you cooperate, but you've also been threatening each other all these years!"
Listening to Yang Zhiguo's accusations, the smile on He Lei's face gradually turned cold. He then widened his eyes, his emotions escalating, "Don't listen to his nonsense. Don't you know my character?
We've been friends living and working together for over a decade! Anyone else can disbelieve me, but you absolutely cannot. Let me see the boss; I'll explain everything to him face-to-face!"
"You want to see the boss?" Yang Zhiguo let out a cold laugh, clasping his hands behind his back, raising an eyebrow. "Then what was the point of me painstakingly getting you in here?"
He Lei's pupils constricted, his face filled with disbelief. "You... this was all your doing?"
Yang Zhiguo shrugged his shoulders, looking extremely innocent. "Don't say it was my doing. If you hadn't done these things, how could I have obtained the evidence? I warned you long ago not to lay hands on my subordinates!
But you not only refused to listen, you became even more aggressive. This time, you even tried to ruin a girl's reputation. How are you fit to hold that position?
You might not know this, but the audio recordings from your last dinner invitation to Chen Lishu and Gu Xingdong have all been preserved. These recordings are enough to prove that you had a conflict with both of them, so it's perfectly normal for you to have acted!"
He Lei had no idea that Chen Lishu had recorded their entire conversation during the last dinner. He suddenly felt his vision go black, his body trembled, and then he collapsed straight onto the floor.
Yang Zhiguo watched his reaction with a particularly indifferent gaze. He calmly commanded the police officers outside, "You few, go find a doctor to examine him. Don't let anything happen to him here; it's quite troublesome!"
"Yes!" Two police officers straightened up and nodded at Yang Zhiguo.
Meanwhile, at the Gu family residence.
Chen Lishu also received the latest news: Qin Lan had visited a bank today to withdraw a large sum of money and had also transferred a substantial amount to an unknown person via bank transfer.
While reporting Qin Lan's actions, Su Nian praised, "Madam, you're truly something! Based on past experience, it takes at least two months for the pig plague to slowly dissipate.
With Qin Lan transferring all this money out, and the company desperately needing funds right now, I'd say he won't even last two months! This money is completely wasted."
Chen Lishu sneered. Every subsequent action Qin Lan took was digging his own grave, and her job was to accelerate Qin Lan's self-destruction schedule:
"Now we just need to wait patiently. When his company can no longer sustain itself, we can move into the Qin Group and have a larger, more comfortable office space."
Chen Lishu estimated Qin Lan could only last twenty-something days, but the outcome was much smoother than she had anticipated.
Ever since He Lei was apprehended, many shareholders of Qin Group had been clamoring to withdraw their investments, making Qin Lan's already precarious company even more unstable. He had been constantly looking for avenues to sell sausages, trying to avoid inventory buildup and more severe losses.
However, Chen Lishu had alerted Fu Chen early on. With Fu Chen's interference, Qin Lan couldn't find a single sales channel.
The situation at Qin Group grew increasingly dire. Chen Lishu kept a close eye on the developments. Seeing that Qin Lan was already considering selling sausages at a low price, she, along with Su Nian and Shen Wei, eagerly rushed to Qin Group.
At Qin Group, Chen Lishu was escorted into an office.
After a long wait, the person who appeared was not Qin Lan, but an employee who had betrayed her in the past.
