Chapter 040 In Big Trouble
"Xiao Wang and another bodyguard went to the next private room to stand up for me," Ma Zi said.
Liu Deguang yawned and said, "Go check on the neighbors next door."
One sentence sent a group of people rushing to the next private room despite their drunkenness. But it was already 2 a.m., and Liu Deguang's table was the only one left in the entire restaurant. Where else could they find anyone?
When everyone returned to report to Liu Deguang, Liu Deguang was already almost asleep.
"Reporting to President Liu, all the private rooms are empty, there's not a single person in them!" the male secretary, Zheng Chengyi, shouted.
The loud shout startled Liu Deguang, instantly dispelling most of his drowsiness. He looked around and saw everyone struggling to stay awake, awaiting his next instructions. So he shouted:
"Investigate! Search every inch of this mountain city! I refuse to believe that a living person can just vanish into thin air!"
Liu Deguang's words were tinged with drunkenness. He had originally intended to find a place to sleep and let the matter drop, but he was jolted awake just as he was falling asleep, and all his sleepiness vanished. Seeing that his men were also exhausted, he knew he had to get them in line!
The men were full of complaints and secretly thought Liu Deguang was heartless, but they had no choice but to comply and start searching in all directions.
Liu Deguang went to a hotel next to the restaurant, booked a room, and went to get a good night's sleep.
The investigation continued until the early morning of the next day, when they finally found a clue: roadside surveillance footage showed that the head of the bodyguards had driven an Audi A6 to the Shancheng Bus Station. However, by then, Wang Lanhua and her family had already left Shancheng and returned to their hometown.
Because it was still past noon check-out time, the four bodyguards went unnoticed. Liu Deguang's subordinates searched each hotel and finally found their trail.
All they knew was that these four people were lying there half-dead and were taken to the hospital, and then the trail went cold.
Another group of subordinates followed the Audi's license plate number as a clue and eventually found the car in the used car market. The car had been sold early that morning, and because it was sold at a low price as a stolen car, the seller was unknown.
Later, these subordinates traced the car backwards, using the license plate number to find the original buyer, the person who picked it up at the dealership. This easily led them to Lin Fan.
The subordinates gathered together and began to discuss the matter.
"Given Mr. Liu's temperament, if this matter isn't handled properly, we'll all probably be punished!"
"Right, we can't just say we didn't find anything, can we?"
"Why don't we find a scapegoat to let President Liu vent his anger?"
Who will be the scapegoat?
Secretary Song Xueyao's beautiful eyes flickered as she slowly said, "Let's use Lin Fan as a scapegoat!"
Zheng Chengyi objected, "Lin Fan is just the original buyer. We don't even know how many times this car has changed hands. Wouldn't it be a bit abrupt to do this?"
Song Xueyao smiled and said, "I've already investigated. This Lin Fan is from the Su family, a second-rate family in Shancheng. He's also a live-in son-in-law. His own family would love for him to die!"
"Torture him into a confession, send Lin Fan to jail for a few years, and give his family some money!" Song Xueyao said again.
Zheng Chengyi argued, "No matter what his family thinks of him, he is innocent!"
"That's just how realistic this world is. Society is all about strength. If you have to blame someone, blame him for being useless!" After saying that, Song Xueyao waved her hand and left.
A group of followers followed behind him, leaving Zheng Chengyi standing there in a daze.
Although both Zheng Chengyi and Song Xueyao are secretaries, Song Xueyao's status is far higher than Zheng Chengyi's. This status is not due to Song Xueyao's strong work ability, but because she knows how to please the boss.
Zheng Chengyi is a pragmatic person who firmly believes that gold will always shine.
Inside the hotel, Liu Deguang had just woken up. At this moment, his anger had completely subsided, and he even regretted his decision yesterday.
After all, entrepreneurs who can build a business are not mindless people. Yesterday, he was just drunk and acted impulsively. But Liu Deguang is not a perfect person. He is always impulsive. The last time he withdrew his investment from the underground boxing ring was due to his impulsiveness. After all, the underground boxing ring had brought him a lot of profits.
When they later wanted to back out, the underground boxing ring suddenly went bankrupt, and there was no way to remedy the situation.
"Damn it, it seems like they've been busy all night because of a mere bodyguard. Is this all we're going to do?" Liu Deguang muttered to himself inside the room.
As soon as Liu Deguang finished speaking, Song Xueyao knocked on the door and invited her in. After Liu Deguang let her in, Song Xueyao said:
"Mr. Liu, I have investigated and found out the details of yesterday's events. Here's what happened!"
Before Song Xueyao could finish speaking, Liu Deguang suddenly interrupted:
"I'll leave this entirely to you. I won't interfere anymore; I'll just wait and see the results!"
After Liu Deguang finished speaking, he gestured for Song Xueyao to step down. His original intention was to dismiss the matter, but Song Xueyao took it as a big deal and wanted to prove her strength by producing results.
Immediately, Song Xueyao led people to Su Ruowei's house, but Su Ruowei and Lin Fan had gone to work, leaving only Su Zhengwu and Shen Yunlan at home.
Song Xueyao knew that the Su family and the Shancheng Group had a partnership, and that Su Ruowei was in charge of the project, so she was exceptionally polite to Shen Yunlan and Su Zhengwu.
"Do you two know where Lin Fan went?" Song Xueyao asked.
Shen Yunlan sized up Song Xueyao. She was dressed in a smart business suit, wearing a pair of black calfskin high heels, and her makeup was light and elegant. She could be considered a beauty.
Shen Yunlan felt a surge of pride: But she's still not as good as my daughter! And she can't even compare to me when I was young!
"What, what do you want with that good-for-nothing? You don't happen to have taken a fancy to him, do you?" Shen Yunlan asked.
Hearing Shen Yunlan describe Lin Fan as a good-for-nothing, Song Xueyao confirmed the accuracy of the investigation and said, "Lin Fan is in big trouble; he's messed with our boss!"
Shen Yunlan frowned and swallowed hard: "Ah, will this affect our Su family?"
Song Xueyao smiled and waved her hand, saying, "No, we're only targeting Lin Fan. Please accept the money!"
Shen Yunlan's eyes lit up instantly when she heard the word "money," and then she focused on the red envelope in Song Xueyao's hand.
"Here's 1 yuan, please accept it," Song Xueyao said with a smile.
Shen Yunlan snatched the red envelope, immediately opened it, and began counting the money, saying as she did so, "Tell me, what do you need me to do?"
“You’re a smart person, and what you need to do is very simple: just ignore this matter,” Song Xueyao said.
Shen Yunlan smiled as she counted the money and said, "Don't worry, miss, I'll pretend I don't know anything about this and won't mention it!"
Song Xueyao nodded with relief and left Su Ruowei's house.
Meanwhile, in the president's office of Shancheng Group.
Lin Fan took the opportunity to ask Su Ruowei for two hours off to come here, because Gao Xuan wanted Lin Fan to finalize the next step of the plan.
Lin Fan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, hands behind his back: "Gao Xuan, help me investigate someone!"
