Exclusive Pampered Wife: My Wife Came to My Door

Chapter 426 The fish is dead and the net is broken

Yan Zuozuo was fearless, a confident smile playing on her lips. "First, whether I have any flaws or not, the police will come forward to prove everything. Second, these are all the applications I've reviewed and approved since I became an assistant. Whether I understand operations or not is obvious to everyone. Third, I am Chi Moqing's wife, and my husband will undoubtedly support me wholeheartedly."

Undoubtedly, Yan Zuozuo's explanation was very convincing. The reporters below whispered among themselves, while the people on stage exchanged murmurs. Among them were those who had colluded with Yao Ziqian, and others who had long disliked him.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense. To be honest, the vast majority of people disliked Yao Ziqian. If Yan Zuozuo had Chi Moqing backing her up, her appearance would be tantamount to saving the precarious domestic branch from dire straits. These people supported her.

"President Yao, why don't we take a break for now?" someone said, clearly siding with Yan Zuozuo.

Yao Ziqian looked over. If it were anyone else saying that, he would have given them a sharp look and shut them up long ago. However, he couldn't do that with the person in front of him.

Wang Ziliang is one of the two vice presidents of the charity and holds a pivotal position within the organization.

But should we just let him admit defeat like that?

"Vice President Wang, putting aside the plagiarism scandal surrounding Yan Zuozuo for now, her position as the young mistress of the Chi family isn't exactly secure. Didn't she recently have reports of strained relations with her mother-in-law, potentially facing expulsion from the family? She's just bluffing. If we really give in to her, who knows what she'll do to the charity? This is all the hard work everyone's put in over the years. If you don't stop this farce, the domestic branch might be destroyed!"

Yao Ziqian's words left Wang Ziliang hesitant. Their interest in Yan Zuozuo was solely due to their connection with Chi Moqing. If Chi Moqing and Yan Zuozuo had truly broken up, this woman wouldn't be of much use. But the situation was complicated, and Chi Moqing was sitting right below; was it possible that their relationship was merely an act?

"You two don't need to worry about it anymore. The things about me and my mother-in-law are just rumors spread by those reporters. My husband is sitting right here, which is the best support he can give me. If I really had a bad relationship with my husband and was kicked out of the house, would he still be so openly supporting me in public?"

Yan Zuozuo's words undoubtedly reassured Wang Ziliang. He glanced at Chi Moqing and was about to speak when he heard a sweet voice coming from the entrance of the press conference, "Even without the Chi family, Sister Yan still has our Shang family and the Ou family. Anyone who dares to bully Sister Yan, I will be the first to not let them off!"

Shang Xiaoguo and Ou Sanshao!

A look of surprise flashed across Yan Zuozuo's eyes; these two kids had arrived at the perfect time.

Everyone watched as the usually dashing and womanizing Third Young Master Ou was now gently and considerately protecting the heavily pregnant Shang Xiaoguo, who walked in with her large, round belly.

These two—one a member of the royal family, the other the heir to the European family, whose mere presence could shake the global economy—plus Chi Moqing, make Yan Zuozuo's backing incredibly strong.

Wang Ziliang spoke with a firmer tone: "President Yao, let's take a break first and see what Assistant Yan has to say. After all, this not only concerns us, but also the millions of impoverished people who need help. We all mean well, so let's discuss it privately."

As soon as Wang Ziliang finished speaking, the other senior executives echoed his sentiments. Seeing this, Yao Ziqian knew the situation was hopeless and had no choice but to grit his teeth and suspend the press conference.

In the conference room, Yao Ziqian sat in the chairman's seat, flanked by Yan Zuozuo and Meng Yuanfei, with the various shareholders below. The atmosphere was somewhat heavy, as if everyone was weighing the strength of both sides.

Yao Ziqian thought to himself, Yan Zuozuo is ultimately a woman, and now that Chi Moqing is not by her side, plus he has leverage over these high-ranking officials, Yan Zuozuo's idea of ​​taking over the chairman's position is probably just wishful thinking.

He sneered, "Assistant Yan, since everyone is here, let's have an open and frank talk. Chairman Chi has already returned to Germany, and according to you, the domestic branches are now leaderless. If we start fighting amongst ourselves at this time, it will only make the outside world more disappointed in our charitable work, and the consequences would be unimaginable. Assistant Yan, even so, are you still going to insist on going your own way?"

"I don't quite understand what Mr. Yao means." Yan Zuozuo kept calling him "Mr. Yao," which made Yao Ziqian want to kill her. He narrowed his eyes. "Assistant Yan, do you have a problem with Mr. Yao continuing to serve as chairman?"

"I think Mr. Yao still doesn't understand that it's not that I have a problem with your succession as chairman, but that you were dismissed from your post by headquarters a long time ago. I've already made it very clear that the police will tell you why you were dismissed soon."

Yao Ziqian chuckled, a hint of sarcasm in his voice, "Even if I've been dismissed by headquarters, where's the dismissal document? I haven't seen it yet."

"Manager Meng," Yan Zuozuo looked at Meng Yuanfei, "do you have the dismissal documents for Mr. Yao that came with my appointment letter?"

Meng Yuanfei nodded: "Mr. Yao was not here for the past few days, and I couldn't get through to him on the phone. I only met Mr. Yao at today's press conference, so the dismissal documents have been with me all this time. If you have any doubts, you can call headquarters directly."

Yan Zuozuo nodded: "So, Mr. Yao is no longer a staff member of the domestic branch, and is even less qualified to continue serving as the president. Is that all?"

"That's right!"

Yao Ziqian genuinely didn't know about the dismissal document, but even if he had just found out, given his cunning, it wasn't impossible for him to turn the tables. Sure enough…

"Even if Director Meng has the documents in hand, charitable organizations also have explicit regulations. If a president is wrongly judged, as long as more than two-thirds of the people in that branch jointly submit a letter to prove their innocence, then the removal documents will be re-entered into the review stage. Am I right, everyone?"

Yao Ziqian's gaze was fixed on the two vice presidents, especially the more prestigious Wang Ziliang. Wang Ziliang felt a pang of panic. He didn't really like Yao Ziqian, but Yao Ziqian had something on him, so he had no choice.

After clearing his throat twice, Wang Ziliang said, "Well... charitable organizations do have this rule..."

Yan Zuozuo raised an eyebrow at Yao Ziqian: "So, Mr. Yao is telling me that you have two-thirds of your people who can prove their innocence and are planning to submit a joint letter to headquarters?"

“That’s right, and I can get everyone here to sign in front of Assistant Yan.” Yao Ziqian looked at Yan Zuozuo smugly, took out the joint petition he had already written, and was just waiting to give Yan Zuozuo a hard time.

Want to play with him? With all his years of hard work and experience, what can Yan Zuozuo do to him even if she brings Chi Moqing along? As for the police station, that's a minor matter. No one in this world doesn't like money, not even the police!

"I see." Yan Zuozuo pursed her lips, feigning distress, and said, "But the evidence regarding Mr. Yao's embezzlement of public funds is already conclusive. I wonder if these people's joint petition will still be of any use? After all, the premise of this regulation is that one is wrongly accused!"

Yao Ziqian's face was gloomy, but Yan Zuozuo smiled faintly, "If Mr. Yao still has any questions, I do have some relevant evidence here, but I don't know if Mr. Yao is interested in seeing it now."

Seeing Yan Zuozuo's confident demeanor, Yao Ziqian's expression changed repeatedly. He hadn't expected that this woman would become so sharp after disappearing for a few days.

He took a deep breath, calming himself. Since Yan Zuozuo wasn't leaving him a way out, he might as well just tear off the mask of civility. Anyway, once the evidence was conclusive, he would either spend the rest of his life in prison or be executed. What did he have to be afraid of?

It's decided: We'll fight to the death!

Yao Ziqian sneered: "There have been rumors that Assistant Yan was arrested because of his involvement with charity funds. But the truth is probably that it involves a murder case, and one involving a very important person. Is someone like Assistant Yan, who has a murder case on his hands, really suitable to be the president of a charity?"

A murder?!

Everyone stared at Yan Zuozuo in astonishment, their eyes practically popping out of their sockets.

Yan Zuozuo had long anticipated that Yao Ziqian would expose everything once he lost power. She smiled slightly, "If what Mr. Yao says is true, then why am I here? And Mr. Yao mentioned a certain important person, I wonder which important person it is."

Even if Yao Ziqian leaked the information, the police station wouldn't dare admit it under orders. As long as she denied it, Yao Ziqian couldn't do anything to her.

Yao Ziqian was surprised that Yan Zuozuo was so innocent and answered so confidently. He sneered, "I have a backup of the surveillance footage here, and Assistant Yan happened to be at the crime scene. Should I show it to everyone now?"

Chi Xuecan is a member of the Chi family and the young mistress of the Clausen family. With the German elections underway, it's likely that not only the Clausen family but also the Chi family are worried that this kind of thing will be exposed.

She's too green to try and cheat him!

After a pause, Yao Ziqian looked at Yan Zuozuo provocatively, "Assistant Yan, do you think I should release this video?"

Yan Zuozuo accepted his provocation with a smile, "Is it about that tampered video? I heard the police have already taken it for analysis. The alteration is quite good, only a few loopholes remain. If Mr. Yao wants to release it, feel free to do so!"

She glanced around at the assembled executives, then slowly rose and said, "No murders have occurred within the charity, but a murder has taken place. The reason I was called in for questioning by the police is because it's related to this murder!"

After Zuo Zuo finished speaking, everyone present gasped sharply. They had no idea that such a thing had happened inside. They looked at each other in bewilderment. None of them were missing. Who had been murdered?

Yan Zuozuo glanced at Meng Yuanfei; he knew about this matter. She gave him a reassuring look and slowly uttered three words, "President Chi!"

The crowd gasped in shock. No wonder President Chi had left so hastily and suspiciously; she had been murdered. She was the young mistress of the Clausen family, a very important figure.

Fortunately, Assistant Yan just said that she was out of danger, and everyone's eyes turned to Yan Zuozuo: "How is President Chi now?"

Whether it was genuine or not, Yan Zuozuo was still moved by those words. A hint of sadness flashed in her eyes, "President Chi is currently in a deep coma, and it's hard to say whether he will wake up."

Upon hearing this news, everyone turned pale!

Only Yao Ziqian, standing beside her, stared at Yan Zuozuo with a grim expression, a sense of foreboding flashing through his mind. Had this woman gone mad? To win against him, she dared to leak such information—information that had been ordered to be strictly censored.

Or is this a tactic they've orchestrated together, all for...?

"Whoa!" Yao Ziqian gasped sharply. Could it be that they had some new information and were actually trying to force him out?!
