Chapter 322: Chapter 323 A Mess

Translator: Doggotranslation 

…

Despite the light drizzle and the cold breeze, there were still many passers-by watching under the Fengchang company building. Several policemen were pushing the crowded crowd to prevent anyone from climbing the steps.

On the way to Fengchang, Dong Xiaoye had received a call from Lin Zhi, so we already knew what had happened to Fengchang. But when we saw the scene with our own eyes, the so-called psychological preparation seemed to have no effect at all, and I was still stunned.

It was a total mess… I could only think of those words.

The automatic glass door had been smashed and the broken glass was scattered everywhere. The tools that were used to smash those glasses should be a few eye-catching bricks that were mixed with the broken glasses on the ground. The magnificent lobby of the company had disappeared. The sofa, chairs, and bonsai all fell to the ground in a mess. The huge silver LOGO on the back wall of the front desk of the company was splashed with colorful paint. The scene was very shocking.

The frightened female receptionist at the front desk was answering questions from the police while wiping her tears. She stretched out her hand from time to time to make gestures. The bunch of sunflowers she pointed at on the front desk looked very eye-catching. It had not been thrown to the ground, and it was not smeared with any paint. Compared with everything in the lobby, it didn’t quite fit the scene…

The Fengchang headquarters had actually been smashed by someone. This was certainly not a trivial matter. When I saw the flashing lights and someone carrying a camera trying to cross the police cordon, I was not surprised, because there was another thing that made me feel even more unexpected, and that was that everyone thought that the person who ordered the gangsters to smash the company’s lobby was me…

Therefore, I was anxious, but I couldn’t show my anxiousness on my face. So I did not listen to Liusu’s advice and insisted on coming over to find out what exactly happened…

After Dong Xiaoye showed her police officer badge, the police guarding the door let us in. As soon as we walked into the lobby, a person rushed over from the side and grabbed my arm, “Didn’t I tell you not to come? !”

I was pretending to be calm when I walked into the company from the main entrance. So when a person suddenly came out of nowhere to grab my arm, I was so startled that I almost screamed. Then I saw Liusu looking around like a thief, pulling me towards the elevator. “Come with me before anyone notices you, let’s talk upstairs…”

“What’s wrong if they notice me?” I smiled and broke free of her. Seeing her stunned, I shook my head and said, “I didn’t do anything wrong, so why do I need to be scared? Liusu, I know what you are thinking, but at least, you need to understand how I feel about it, right? I am a man, how can I hide when this kind of thing happens?”

Liusu anxiously said, “I know you didn’t do anything wrong, but the people in the company don’t think so, even the police also suspect you…”

“Who said the police suspect him?” Dong Xiaoye on one side couldn’t help but smile and say, “Liusu, have you forgotten that I am also a police officer?”

Liusu was dazed, and as if she had just discovered Dong Xiaoye’s existence, she chuckled embarrassedly, “Sister Xiaoye, I didn’t realize that you are here too…”

Dong Xiaoye felt that her self-esteem was terribly hurt by this sentence. Feeling dissatisfied, she said, “are you serious? I’m not a tiny person, you know? How did you fail to realize that I am here as well? Misters before Sisters, huh?”

“He blocked you, so I didn’t see…” Liusu’s excuse was so lame, but she immediately said anxiously, “it’s not the time to talk about this, Sister Xiaoye, can you help me to hide Nan Nan. There will be a lot of trouble if people find out that he is here…”

In fact, when she said this, someone had already noticed me. I didn’t have time to change my clothes, so I still wore the gray sportswear that I used to wear early in the morning when I went out to buy breakfast, and I was also just a little office clerk in the company. However, because of the scandal with Mo Fei, many people still recognized my ordinary face.

Dong Xiaoye had obviously noticed this too. She patted Liusu on the shoulder, and comforted her with a stern voice, “it’s okay, I have been with him for the past two days. This is enough to prove his innocence. There is no need to avoid other people. Otherwise, it would only make people think that he is guilty.”

“But…”

“There is no but…” While interrupting Liusu, I unexpectedly saw Mo Fei. She was sitting on the sofa in the lounge area in the lobby, talking about something with a middle-aged policeman who looked like a leader not far from us. I guessed she was being questioned.

Even with those small black-frame glasses, I could see the chills in her eyes. The face of the middle-aged policeman sitting opposite her was livid. Even from far away, I could still smell the gunpowder from him. Seeing this, it seemed that Mo Fei was not very cooperative.

What surprised me was that I also saw Zhang Mingjie, who I had not seen for a while. He and two other company executives were also sitting there. Elder Sister Liu, Yao Wan’er, and Song Jia were also standing behind Mo Fei.

“The innocent man is innocent. He does not need to say anything in his defense.” While I firmly consoled Liusu, I walked straight to Mo Fei, ignoring other people’s surprised, fear, or scornful gazes. I pretended to smile indifferently and said, “I don’t know who did this, but whoever wants to pin this on me, it will not be easy.”

“You… Why are you so stubborn? !” Liusu angrily stomped her foot and hurried to catch up with me. Although she looked away in a huff, she still hugged my arm tightly. I felt touched. Although she didn’t say it, her action clearly showed that she supported me. It was a form of encouragement and comfort.

Liusu knew exactly how I felt. Even if I didn’t say it, she could still see the anxiousness and fear in my heart. She just didn’t want to point it out. She knew that it would hurt a man’s self-esteem. Realizing this, I blushed a little…

“Chief Yang, I’ll say it again, this was clearly a setup,” Mo Fei’s tone was flat, but it gave people an aggressive feeling, and the wording was very unceremonious, “while smashing things and splashing paint, they actually foolishly left their employer’s name. If it were you, would you hire a bunch of such stupid gangsters? No offense, but should I question who is more stupid? Is it those gangsters or the police?”

The police Chief surnamed Yang wiped the sweat on his forehead and said, “Miss Mo, I never said that it was Chu Nan who hired them. I just want to ask him a few questions…”

Mo Fei said with a cold face, “you know it is not him, then why do you still want to question him? He is on vacation. If I call him back for no reason, how would other employees in the company think? We call the police because we think that the police can catch those who were causing trouble to Fengchang. We didn’t ask you to arrest our own employees. If this is how your police do things, then probably no one in the future will call the police if there is any problem.”

As a man, I wouldn’t deny the complexity and happiness in my heart at this moment. Being so trusted and protected by two women, I felt elated. and this elation was transformed into courage inexplicably.

“However, Chu Nan does have a criminal motive…”

“What motive?”

“He was fired from your company…”

“Who said that?” Mo Fei’s icy gaze swept across the two senior executives of the company present, and the invisible suppressive aura made the two seniors that were much older than her silent.

Chief Yang also lost his confidence, “Rumors…”

“Rumors?” Mo Fei interrupted Chief Yang’s words suddenly and coldly said, “It is really hard to believe that this word would come out from a policeman’s mouth. So the rumors can also be used as evidence now?”

Everyone with a discerning eye could see that Chief Yang hadn’t finished the whole sentence, and Mo Fei had clearly taken the word out of context. It made the police chief feel very embarrassed. “Ms. Mo, that… isn’t just a rumor, right?” Zhang Mingjie interjected, “the fact that Chu Nan was dismissed by the chairman of the board because of violation of the company’s regulation and the unauthorized investment in Heng Xiang is already known to everyone in the company…”

“Is it?” Mo Fei didn’t blink her eyes. She said blankly, “then why didn’t I know about it? Am I not working for this company? Song Jia, do you know anything about this?”

Song Jia shook her head repeatedly, “no, and he has not violated any rules. It was approved by Ms. Mo, and the chairman also never said that he wanted to fire him. He even suggested that Ms. Mo should promote him to be her assistant…” Song Jia denied it like an innocent little girl. Her innocent look made everyone believe what she said even more.

Elder Sister Liu also showed a face of confusion, “Deputy General Manager Zhang, who told you that Chu Nan was fired? He is a staff member of the general operation team, and I am the leader of the general operation team, but why didn’t I know anything about it?”

These two women were so good at acting. Zhang Mingjie was reduced to silence immediately.

Unlike the two of them, Yao Wan’er was very introverted and she was not good at lying. She only said with a low voice, “Elder Brother Nan was injured on his leg. So he just took time off to rest at home… How would he be able to find someone to smash his own company? Moreover, he is not that kind of person, as everyone in our investment department can prove this.”

Yao Wan’er was very confident about the last sentence she said, but it was not convincing to the police.
