Novel Bin Chapter 360 - You’ve been fooled by him (2)
Ye Zhen took a step back and replied honestly, “I don’t know.”
“It’s okay. I can tell you. It is evidence of Lu Beichuan committing trafficking. Are you worried? Your husband will be a prisoner after today. Hmm? Are you scared now?”
“Trafficking?” She didn’t remember Lu Beichuan ever committed trafficking.
“That’s not all. He was also involved in corruption with government officials and tax evasion. Just think, with so much evidence, what would the board members do?”
If the evidence were real, any one of these would be enough for the cops to come looking.
“If you have all this evidence, why didn’t you just call the cops? Why have Old Mr. Shen take them to the board meeting? What is it? The board has turned into a police station now?”
Lu Shaoyan smiled languidly from the chair. “What would be the fun in sending them directly to the cops? Besides, even if Lu Beichuan is in jail, he will still own his shares, alright? Now that we have this opportunity when everyone is gathered around, we should just have an open and honest discussion about it. Wouldn’t you say?”
“You…” Ye Zhen turned and walked outside of the office.
Lu Shaoyan had a happy smile as he watched Ye Zhen walk out of the office. Nevertheless, his smile disappeared altogether the moment the office door closed behind Ye Zhen.
Just as Lu Shaoyan had said, it wasn’t looking good inside of the conference room.
Old Mr. Shen had walked inside of the conference room when it was almost break time after the first half of the meeting. That was when everyone recalled that Old Mr. Shen held 5% of the Lu Corporation’s stocks and had the right to attend this meeting.
An old fox, who had started his family business from scratch, was always more vicious and ruthless. He was smiling like a loving elderly as he asked about the status of the Lu Corporation in the past two years while tossing a stack of documents in front of Lu Beichuan.
The old fox then stripped himself of his kind and loving mask and pointed at Lu Beichuan while asking in a heartbroken way how he became like that over the years!
Lu Beichuan didn’t stir at all, his look was cold. He didn’t seem to care about what Old Mr. Shen was saying at all.
“Beichuan, I’ve watched you grow up since you were a child. You have always been a smart one and your grandpa loved and trusted you and handed you the Lu’s enterprise. I have also trusted you are one who’d go far and had high hopes in you. I even considered having Weiyin marry you. But look at you! Trafficking! Corruption! Tax evasion! You’ve hit each and every single one of them! Have you ever listened to a word that your grandfather had said over the years? How could you disappoint your grandfather so? What am I going to say to your grandfather when I see him in heaven?”
“What did he just say? Trafficking and corruption? What is going on?”
“Old Mr. Shen, whatever do you mean by that? You can’t just throw out accusations like that without proof!”
All of the board members in the conference room exploded from Old Mr. Shen’s words.
The Lu Corporation had been going up and up over the years under Lu Beichuan’s management, that was a fact that all of them could see. And now they were told that Lu Beichuan had been pulling stunts like that?
Voices began to rise in the conference room, and Lu Beichuan continued to sit there calmly and quietly.
“Beichuan, look at this evidence. You tell me, did you or did not commit these felonies?”
As soon as he finished saying that, the door to the conference room was opened and in came Ye Zhen.
The whispering was interrupted temporarily.
Lu Beichuan, who had been expressionless up to this point, got up and walked to Ye Zhen the minute he saw the door open and asked her in a low voice, “What are you doing here?”
Old Mr. Shen sneered, “Why are you here?”
Ye Zhen looked over at him and lifted her brows. “Old Sir, I think you are getting confused. I hold 10% of the Lu Corporation’s shares and you are asking me why I am here? Why do you think I am here?”
Old Mr. Shen was not able to rebut her words.
Ye Zhen took the opportunity and asked Lu Beichuan in a low voice, “What’s going on?”
Lu Beichuan comforted her, “Everything is under control. Why don’t you take off first? Don’t worry. I got this.”
There was no way that Ye Zhen would leave under such a dire situation. She glanced over at Old Mr. Shen and slowly took her seat.
“Zhenzhen?”
Ye Zhen squeezed his hand subtly and said, “I want to stay. “
She had no idea how much truth there was in what Lu Shaoyan had said to her. She was worried. Right now, she only wanted to stay inside of this conference room and find out the truth rather than waiting nervously in the office.
