Feng Shen got even angrier, “Nala, we’re alumni, why are you doing this to me?”
“We’re in business not on a college campus. Even though you and I are alumni, I have to do this. As you know, if you stay with the company, then this company will go bankrupt too, because you hardly cared about technology all these years. You should voluntarily quit for the sake of the company now.”
Feng’s look was fierce, “So you’re not here to help me, you’re here to force me to give up the company. You’re really hiding something deep. What if I don’t agree?”
“If you don’t, then the judicial authorities will intervene to investigate your embezzlement of public funds. Are you willing to take the money and walk away, or are you willing to go to jail?”
“Are you threatening me?” Feng said with an angry expression.
“It’s fine if you have to think so. This matter is your fault in the first place, so you have to take the responsibility. Sell the shares and you can enjoy your life. After all, it’s also several hundred million dollars of income, and even if you don’t do anything is enough for you to spend the rest of your life. It’s better than staying in jail, right?” I said bluntly.
Feng stood up, “You guys are going too far.”
I stood up as well, “I’ll give you one day to consider. Start the clock from now, after 24 hours, if you still don’t agree to sell your shares, then we’ll let the judicial authorities intervene.”
At night Leon had a social engagement and didn’t come home for dinner.
I had something in my mind and no appetite, so I ate some fruit and played with Alex for a while, and then I went back to my room to continue reading the documents.
At this time Leon’s phone call came in. He told me to watch the news on the Hai City financial channel right away.
There was a TV on the wall in my bedroom, but I rarely watched it. After searching for a while, I finally found the remote control, turned it on and found the financial channel of Hai City TV.
The person being interviewed on the TV was Yan Chen.
It was a daily program on the financial channel, called “Meet the Person in News”.
Today, Yan Chen was interviewed as a person involved in news.
Yan looked very haggard. He was talking about the acquisition of his company’s shares. He accused someone of kidnapping his daughter to coerce him to sell his stake.
In the end, he called for fair competition in business and wanted the relevant authorities to ensure his and his family’s safety.
Yan did not directly name the company, but the reporter added that the company that bought Yan’s shares was Hai City Telecom, a subsidiary of Hua Corporation, adding that the police were now involved in the matter.
After watching the news on TV, I was even more agitated.
In any case, this matter once on television, then the impact could be huge. Hua Corporation would definitely be blamed by the public for this.
This time Leon’s phone called again, “Now that this matter is on television, the police will definitely give the public an explanation, which should make you cooperate with the investigation. You go with them to the police station. I’ll take care of the rest.”
I was angry, “Why? I didn’t do this. Why should I go with them? What proof do they have that I kidnapped Yan Chen’s daughter?”
“They have no evidence, that’s why I asked you to cooperate with their investigation. This matter of being on TV was definitely not Yan Chen’s idea, it should have been planned by Mu Chen. You go and cooperate with the police investigation, I’ll handle the follow-up.”
I was answering the phone when Zhen came and said, “Madam, there are polices outside, they wanted you to go out.”
The police had come just after the news was broadcast, this must have been planned long ago. Mu Chen really was all very calculating, he was worthy of being Leon’s opponent.
I said to Zhen, “You go out and deal with it first, I’ll change my clothes and come out.”
I changed my clothes and went out of the villa. A policeman came up and showed his police card, saying that I was suspected of a child kidnapping case and asked me to cooperate with the investigation.
I didn’t say anything, so I just followed them to the police car.
When I arrived at the police station, I found a large group of reporters at the entrance. Someone had notified the reporters in advance, and the man had really planned every step with precision.
I told the police officer in the car that I did not want to be interviewed by the reporters now and my company’s public relations department would have a press conference tomorrow, so I hope they didn’t park in front of the door to prevent those reporters from photographing me.
The officer made a phone call to respond to the officer above and got permission.
Then the police drove the car directly into the parking lot at the back of the police station and I got out of the car from there.
The next step, of course, was to make a statement.
For me, I had nothing to tell the police. I really didn’t know anything about the kidnapping of Yan Chen’s daughter. I just told the truth about the time Yan came to me. When Yan said he wanted to sell his shares, I didn’t expect that he was being threatened.
Of course, the police didn’t have much evidence.
Then I signed the statement, and the police signaled that I could go.
I walked out of the police station and saw Leon talking to a middle-aged policeman at the door.
When he saw me come out, Leon said something to the cop and then walked over to me.
“They didn’t give you a hard time, did they?” He lowered his voice.
“No, just normal interrogation.” I lowered my voice as well.
“Okay, let’s go home.” Leon reached over his hand and took my hand in his, and then we walked towards the parking lot.
We left the police station in a police car. When we left the police station, I saw that many reporters were still at the door. They were probably waiting for me to come out.
Shortly after the police car took us out of the police station, it stopped at the side of the road, where Xuanlong Jiang was waiting in Leon’s car.
Leon thanked the driver who drove the police car, then got into his own car with me.
“What the board said is that if this gets unmanageable, they want you to admit that you did it yourself so as not to affect the company’s reputation. They don’t want the company’s reputation to be tarnished by an acquisition. Tomorrow morning, I will accompany you to the headquarters to explain this matter. Then the PR department at headquarters will release news to the public based on your statement. This matter is on television and currently has a great impact, so we must react as soon as possible.” Leon said.
I understood. It meant that if this matter was not investigated clearly, I would have to take the blame for this, and I couldn’t let it affect Hua Corporation’s reputation.
If someone set up Hua Corporation, then I would be the one to be sacrificed. Hua Corporation would clarify that they had nothing to do with this matter and that it was my personal conduct.
