"You just said your family is visiting you!"

Xia Linyuan frowned and said.

That's my wife!

Wu insisted.

Lying to me will do you no good at all...

Xia Linyuan placed his hands on the stage and looked into Wu Gu's eyes as he spoke, word by word.

Wu Gu's face turned ashen: "I admit... I gambled, and I can't pay it back..."

"But they paid it for you, right?"

Xia Linyuan sneered, "Four million was their hush money, but you weren't satisfied and wanted more, so your threats failed! They weren't as compliant as you thought; instead, they sued you..."

You only fought back because you didn't want to go to jail; the four million you received is the culprit for losing the case...

Xia Linyuan's words pierced Wu Gu's heart like needles, and Wu Gu immediately flew into a rage: "What do you mean? Weren't you helping me?!"

Xia Linyuan slowly said, "I've revealed the truth..."

"The real culprit wasn't me who took four million, but that monster that manipulated the squid!"

"If that woman hadn't ruined everything I'd planned, I wouldn't be in a place like this!"

Wu Gu roared furiously, the handcuffs rattling as he ripped them open, his eyes bloodshot as he glared at Xia Linyuan: "You're not even human!"

Xia Linyuan crossed his arms in front of him, calmly looking at Wu Gu's ferocious face, and clicked his tongue in amazement: "Which of us is more like a monster?"

Wu Gu paused, realizing his shameful deeds had been exposed and certain that Xia Linyuan would no longer help him. Enraged, he roared, "Damn it! Police! I've lost this man! I want to go back to jail!"

Xia Linyuan chuckled: "I didn't want this to happen, but you lied to me, which makes me very uncomfortable."

Don't worry, I'll still help you.

Wu Gu was taken aback.

"You're no good, and neither are they."

"If I had to choose between the two, I'd still choose to help you. After all, your problem lies in gambling and your poor character... Four years is a bit long..."

Xia Linyuan said slowly and deliberately.

Wu Gu forced a smile: "I admit my attitude was a bit off just now. This prison really isn't a place for humans..."

Xia Linyuan also revealed a kind smile, a golden light flowing from his fingertips, transforming into a thread that slipped through the crack in the windowpane in front of him and instantly tightened around Wu Gu's neck: "Sorry, I'm not exactly a good person either..."

"So from now on... you better make sure every single word you say is the truth!"

Wu Gu's face turned purple from being bound by the gold thread, and he nodded with difficulty.

Seeing this, Xia Linyuan then released the Golden Light Spell. Amidst Wu Gu's fearful and awe-inspiring gaze, he calmly asked, "Where is that orphanage?"

Chapter 125 Following One's True Intentions

Xia Linyuan interrogated him inside for about an hour. Afterwards, he was still a little disoriented by the noise outside. He gently cleaned his ear and walked back to his car.

"Brother Xia, what do you mean?"

Gao Yuan asked in a deep, resonant voice.

Xia Linyuan fastened his seatbelt and slowly said:

"We've received the news that He Cunzhu Yang once received a large amount of resources from a private organization that were provided to a welfare home without authorization."

After being discovered by Wu Gu, he was threatened by a strange person. According to his description, that strange person should be Wang Lumeng...

"So where to go next?"

Gao Yuan asked.

Xia Linyuan pondered for a moment: "Go home. Tomorrow, transfer people from the East China Company to thoroughly investigate the welfare home!"

As Xia Linyuan spoke, he glanced at Gao Zhan, who was grinning foolishly, in the rearview mirror, and flicked Gao Zhan's head with a golden light spell: "You little brat, how much money have you made?"

"Brother Xia, I'm so envious of your prestige! I really don't know how you manage to get by in the company."

"That's just fate!"

Xia Linyuan chuckled inwardly as he listened to Gao Zhan's endless complaints. There was no such thing as destiny. These were merely the inevitable consequences of wearing the mask of life.

"As long as you are smart, obedient, sensible, sweet-talking, proactive, don't talk back to them, don't slack off in front of them, help them as much as possible, take responsibility for mistakes, don't blame them, always give them a way out, and learn to be tolerant with love..."

Xia Linyuan spoke eloquently for a long time, then smiled mysteriously at the end: "If you do these things, you too can be liked by others..."

Gao Zhan asked doubtfully, "Really?"

Xia Linyuan's smile grew even more mysterious: "You can give it a try..."

Gao Zhan gasped, "Hiss~ My head is so itchy, I think I'm growing a brain. No, maybe I've been enlightened by Honghu! Is that really it?!"

“Of course—” Xia Linyuan tapped Gao Zhan again with the golden light spell in his hand: “It’s fake! You’ll be exhausted! Once you start living like this, unless you go crazy, you’ll wear this mask for the rest of your life!”

"profound..."

Gao Zhan lowered his head in disappointment.

"Then what should we really do?"

Xia Linyuan's gaze was far-reaching:

"Just follow your heart."

.....

North China Branch. Today is the day when regional managers from all major regions gather.

In the clean and simple room, Dou Le and Xu Si sat in a row, smoking cheap cigarettes, one after another.

"Master Dou, your influence isn't working, is it? Nobody showed up on time..." Xu Si said helplessly to Dou Le, looking at the empty conference room except for the two of them.

Dou Le glanced at Xu Si slightly: "Well, Xiao Si, you're the one who notified them. You included me in the notification process."

“Yes.” Xu Si nodded.

"But why don't you mention other people?"

"Because we're good friends," Xu Si said with a smile.

Dou Le laughed heartily: "Yeah, we're good friends. What do other people think of us as good friends? Allies?" Dou Le said, puffing out sparks from his cigarette: "I bet they're plotting something, waiting to give us a hard time!"

So there's no rush...

Xu Si sat on the conference table, his face falling: "I'm truly speechless. They even have to put on a show of force for something like this. It's like a dog biting Lü Dongbin..."

No sooner had Xu Si finished speaking than the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

Xu Siyi quickly changed his expression, looking at the door with delight. He took small steps to the door and said with a big smile, "Oh my, everyone, we've been waiting for you!"

Ren Fei glanced at Xu Si expressionlessly, brushed past him, walked into the conference room, and found a suitable seat to sit down.

"I think I just heard someone talking badly about us..." Hua Feng, the Northwest manager, looked up at Xu Si and asked with a smile.

"where..."

Before Xu Si could finish speaking, Hao Yi, the person in charge of the Southwest region, interrupted with a smile: "Oh dear, Mr. Hua misunderstood. We are all colleagues, so who would speak ill of whom?"

"Yeah, who said that!" Xu Si chuckled, showing no embarrassment whatsoever. He then looked at the tall man at the back and greeted him, "Uncle Gao is here."

"Ah."

The person in charge in the Northeast, Gao Lian, nodded to Xu Si.

After the arrival of the various officials, Xu Si became very attentive and took the initiative to arrange their seating.

After everything was finished, Xu Si finally sat down next to Ren Fei with a clear conscience.

He turned to the side, resting his chin on his hand, gazing at Ren Fei's stunningly beautiful face.

Dou Le, sitting opposite Xu Si, winked smugly. "See? I told you they'd give us a hard time. All four of them came together!"

Unfortunately, Xu Si did not receive it at all.

Poor Master Dou was essentially throwing a flirtatious glance at a blind man...

"Well... let's get started..."

"What are your thoughts on the company's handling of temporary workers?" Gao Lian, usually taciturn, tapped the table to attract everyone's attention and spoke first.

Dou Le's gaze gradually shifted to Gao Lian: 'Has the sun risen in the west?'

Chapter 126 An Alternative Unification of the World

Everyone present was shocked by Gao Lian's frankness.

Like light shining into the darkness, it reflected on everyone's face, leaving no escape.

Seeing that no one responded to Gao Lian, Dou Le smiled and said, "Old Gao, don't rush. Although Liao Zhong is dead, it doesn't mean the company will necessarily target temporary workers."

Besides, your Gao family is one of the four; even if the company were to acquire you, they would carefully consider the matter.

Gao Lian did not get an answer, and said expressionlessly, "Liao Zhong was killed by his temporary workers. With Zhao Dong's methods and knowledge, it is impossible that he could not see the drawbacks that the temporary workers had already shown."
