"Who would have thought that Lu Chen would have such luck? If Xia Jun is involved in this too, he would definitely want to check the security cameras. You must delete the footage first, and then find someone to return the money. Be careful, don't give yourself away," Fan Ming said after a moment of silence.
Originally, they had done it deliberately to frame Lu Chen, but now that Xia Jun was involved, Fan Ming had to give up his plan.
Most importantly, he had yet to gain the support of the new shareholder, so he dare not go against Xia Jun as of now. Therefore, if Xia Jun wanted to protect Lu Chen, there was nothing he could do.
"F*ck! I'm so fed up! With such a great opportunity, Lu Chen could have been forced to squat in jail for a few days!" Yu Hai cursed in dissatisfaction.
"Well, let me know as soon as possible when you see the new shareholder coming to the company." Fan Ming nodded. In order to get the support of the new shareholder, he had done a lot of work in the past two days. With that, he believed that the new shareholder would definitely put him in a good position.
After replying with a simple nod, Yu Hai went ahead to make the arrangement.
When Lu Chen, Xia Jun and Wang Yan entered Xia Jun's office, Wang Yan retold the story again.
In front of Xia Jun, however, she did not insist that Lu Chen had taken her money.
"You said that your wallet was dropped outside, but Lu Chen found your wallet in the company. Hence, it is obvious that the money was not taken by Lu Chen, Xia Jun said.
Apart from that, Lu Chen was the company's largest shareholder. Naturally, he did not believe that Lu Chen would be greedy for the 100,000.
"There are security cameras everywhere in the company. We'll know who took the money once we check the footage," Lu Chen said.
Since he had worked in the security department before, he clearly knew the company's monitoring coverage very well. Everything would be clear once they checked the footage.
Xia Jun nodded. "Well then, let's head over to the security department to check on the footage."
Just then, someone knocked on the door. As soon as Xia Jun granted the permission to enter, they saw a security guard entering the room with a paper bag.
"General Manager Xia, I found this bag in the parking lot when I was patrolling just now. It has exactly 100,000 in it. I wonder if it's the money that Miss Wang has lost." The security officer then placed the paper bag on Xia Jun's desk.
"Yes, it belongs to me. My money was put in this paper bag when I took it from
the bank!" Wang Yan opened the paper bag and said excitedly.
"Good to know that it's your money." The security guard nodded and went out.
Lu Chen's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the security guard.
"Be careful next time. You may get back. to your work now." Seeing that Lu Chen had an unusual expression on his face, Xia Jun quickly sent Wang Yan out.
"Okay, General Manager Xia. And Lu Chen, I'm sorry that I almost falsely accused you just now," Wang Yan apologized to Lu Chen and left the room.
"Young Master Lu, did you offend someone from the security department?" Xia Jun asked as it was obvious that someone was framing Lu Chen. Furthermore, when they knew that their plan didn't work, they had taken the initiative to return the money.
"It seems that they have taken me as a fool," Lu Chen sneered.
He was now pretty sure that this matter was related to Yu Hai. On the other hand, he wae unsure whether it had anything to do with Fan Ming.
In fact, he didn't treat Fan Ming and Yu Hai as his opponents at all. Therefore, he didn't expect them to be this reckless. If that was the case, it was a must for him to teach them a lesson.
"Young Master Lu, what are you going to do about it? Do you want to get the police involved?" Xia Jun had guessed that Lu Chen should already know who was the one framing him.
"Shall we check the footage first and then hand it over to the police?" Xia Jun asked again.
"I'm sure we can't get the footage since the one who did this must have deleted it. They probably even shut down some security cameras today. Put this matter on hold first. For now, please fire the two bodyguards Zhu Shuai and Yu
Zheng as they are ruining my wife's reputation. Then, ask the police to investigate them to find out who was the one who spread the rumor."
Lu Chen wanted to first find out the person spreading the rumors about his wife behind her back. Even though he was tainted, nothing was more important than investigating the matter related to his wife. Since he was also investigating this matter, Xia Jun was shocked as it seemed like Lu Chen was not satisfied with his efficiency.
"Young Master Lu, I think it would be better to let the police investigate first. Once we find out the truth, only then would we have more authority to fire them," Xia Jun said quickly.
"Alright, please deal with this matter first. If you have no connections in the police station, I will request for someone else to get involved," Lu Chen said.
"Okay, I will inform the police now. The director and I go way back. For this matter, I am sure he will help me to urge the investigation," Xia Jun said and
immediately contacted his connections in the station.
He originally wanted to deal with this matter in a low-key manner, but now it seemed that he couldn't do so anymore.
On the other hand, Yu Zheng and Zhu Shuai muttered, "F*ck, that bastard Lu Chen is still in General Manager Xia's office. Is it even right for General Manager Xia to blatantly engage in unethical business with him? Isn't he afraid of the consequences?" They were patrolling the office building and from a distance, they saw that Lu Chen and Xia Jun were still talking in the office.
"Hmph, it would be fun once the new shareholder knows about this matter. I heard that the new shareholder is planning to reorganize the company's structure. It seems that they are not taking this matter seriously," Zhu Shuai sneered.
"But having said that, Lu Chen was indeed really cruel. In order to get the support from General Manager Xia, he did not hesitate to sacrifice his wife. It is better not to have anything to do with this kind of person in the future. He may do anything to get back at us if we were to irritate him," Yu Zheng said.
"Well, I'm not sure how well he fights, but even the captain would not dare to offend him." Zhu Shuai nodded. When they thought about how easily Lu Chen had beaten Xu Jing, who was a better fighter than them, they were still a bit afraid of Lu Chen.
"Let's go, it seems that they are coming out." At this moment, Xia Jun's office door opened. To their surprise, two police officers walked out with them.
Before the two had a chance to walk off, the police officers went up to them. "Are you Zhu Shuai and Yu Zheng?"
When the both of them nodded, they sort of trembled while glancing at Lu Chen as they didn't expect him to actually call the police to investigate this matter.
"Both of you are suspected of spreading rumors and defamation. Please. cooperate with us back in the station for further investigation," both the police officers said while signaling the two of them to go downstairs.
"Lu Chen, you f*cking bastard!" The two shot Lu Chen a cold glare before following the police officers downstairs.
Lu Chen's lips outlined a sneer. He then went downstairs too after saying goodbye to Xia Jun.
"Lu Chen, are you free?" Just when Lu Chen was about to leave the company, he saw Xu Jing walking toward him.
"Yes." Lu Chen nodded his head. As a matter of fact, Xu Jing and his friendship blossomed from an exchange of blows. In the beginning, Xu Jing did not like him one bit and wanted to teach him a lesson. Unexpectedly, it resulted in Xu Jing being the one beaten up instead.
Since then, Xu Jing had always looked up to him. In fact, he was the only one who could be regarded as Lu Chen's friend in the whole company.
"I would like to treat you to dinner, since there's something I want to ask you as well, Xu Jing said.
"Okay, let's go." Lu Chen nodded and walked out of the company with Xu Jing.
After walking out, they came to an alley where they saw the path ahead was blocked by seven to eight burly men, and all of them were actually people that they knew.
