My sister regretted sending me to the correctional facility.

I sneered inwardly.

Lin Xia didn't come in with me.

However, she foresaw all the things that might happen in this situation.

Given Liu Chaoyang's bandit-like personality.

If it were a direct confrontation, he wouldn't be able to take me down.

He would then resort to some vicious methods.

For example, right now, Liu Chaoyang plans to use organized crime to bully me.

If I soften even a little at this moment.

Then Liu Chaoyang would immediately seize the opportunity.

He'll definitely hold me accountable for this.

At this moment, I maintained a very calm demeanor.

"Liu Chaoyang, you need to change this habit of yours."

Liu Chaoyang listened to my lecturing tone.

He was stunned for a few seconds.

Then I came to my senses.

How could I, as a junior, lecture him in such a condescending tone?

Liu Chaoyang felt that this was the last straw.

He had an attack right then and there.

"Lu Yi, who do you think you are?"

"They just used some tricks to take over my company while I was away!"

"Do you think you're some kind of hero, or that your methods are honorable?"

I listened silently as Liu Chaoyang vented his anger.

Then he smiled faintly and said, "My methods are a thousand times more honorable than yours."

These words further provoked Liu Chaoyang.

He glared at me angrily and even slammed his hands on the table.

"Lu Yi, are you trying to slander me? To throw mud at me?"

What do you mean by that?

"Did I use any underhanded methods?"

"Just because of a few jokes I made earlier?"

Liu Chaoyang is very smart and reacts quickly.

Those words were indeed blurted out in his rage.

Afterwards, Liu Chaoyang realized that what he said was wrong.

He can now quickly and easily make up for it.

But that's not what I'm actually talking about.

Instead, it was something I had prepared long ago...

The trump card!

"Liu Chaoyang, I have no intention of smearing you or slandering you."

"I always insist on evidence when I do things!"

"The person I'm going to talk to you about next is named Sun Lei. He's a migrant worker who used to work on your construction site."

Do you remember him?

I smiled faintly and stared into Liu Chaoyang's eyes.

Swish it!

I noticed that Liu Chaoyang's pupils trembled violently.

His face turned pale instantly, his expression became uneasy, and his features began to distort.

Liu Chaoyang's hands involuntarily touched his body, or touched his face or head.

Seeing all the signs and expressions, Liu Chaoyang felt guilty.

His reaction actually confirmed my suspicions.

Sun Lei's death is 100% related to Liu Chaoyang!

At that moment, a sense of joy welled up inside me.

Because at this moment I am absolutely certain of victory.

As long as I proceed steadily and surely, it's only a matter of time before I crush Liu Chaoyang and send him to prison!

Liu Chaoyang swallowed hard and shook his head in a flustered manner.

"I...I don't know this person named Sun Lei!"

“There might have been someone named Sun Lei at my construction site before, but I really don’t know him.”

"Besides, Sun Lei's death has nothing to do with me."

"It's not like I killed him."

"......"

The words fell.

The entire room was eerily quiet.

My expression grew increasingly meaningful, carrying a cryptic smile.

After listening to this, Zhao Ming, who was sitting next to Liu Chaoyang,

He was completely dumbfounded.

To him, Liu Chaoyang's words sounded like an admission of guilt!

Liu Chaoyang was too nervous to react at that moment.

He only noticed that Zhao Ming was looking at him with a strange expression.

But Liu Chaoyang didn't understand why this was happening.

"what happened?"

Liu Chaoyang touched his face, his hand trembling.

Zhao Ming asked in a dry voice, "President Liu, what...what did you just say?"

“Lu Yi never mentioned that Sun Lei was dead.”

"He only asked you if you knew Sun Lei, how could you say that Sun Lei was dead and had nothing to do with you...?"

In an instant, Liu Chaoyang felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He finally came to his senses.

Liu Chaoyang was so excited and annoyed that he wanted to slap himself.

He was so nervous when he spoke that he didn't think things through at all!

It's also possible that he had already planned in his mind how he would answer my next question.

He anticipated my question, but before I could even ask it, he blurted out the answer he had prepared.

Liu Chaoyang's expression was incredibly distorted.

The look in his eyes was a mixture of fear and anger.

At this moment, in Liu Chaoyang's eyes, I had become a thorn in his side, a nail in his flesh.

I continued calmly.

"This happened a year ago, also because of unpaid wages."

“A middle-aged man rushed into your office with a knife.”

"He publicly threatened you, Liu Chaoyang, that you must settle the wages you owe him today!"

As I spoke, I watched Liu Chaoyang's face grow increasingly dark.

"The company's CEO was attacked by a migrant worker who stormed into his office with a knife and held it to his neck!"

"I reckon Mr. Liu felt utterly humiliated at that moment!"

"So you immediately settled the accounts with the migrant workers, hoping to settle the matter peacefully."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Ming suddenly spoke up in rebuttal.

"Lu Yi, President Liu has already given the money to the person, so isn't this matter already resolved?"

"Mr. Liu, you're right, aren't you?"

Liu Chaoyang, standing to the side, nodded with a grim expression.

I noticed Zhao Ming suddenly getting excited.

He probably already had a plan in mind, outlining how he would attack me.

But my preparations were more repetitive.

I said, "Settling things amicably is only temporary."

"Because once someone does it, others will follow suit, and soon someone will imitate the first migrant worker."

"You should know that the money Mr. Liu owes isn't just from one person!"

These words were quite sarcastic.

This immediately silenced Liu Chaoyang and Zhao Ming.

Zhao Ming was speechless, opening his mouth but unable to utter a single word for a long time.

He said bitterly, "President Liu, you're full of holes! How can I defend you?"

"Me!" Liu Chaoyang clenched his fists, but couldn't utter a single word for a long time.

Since neither of them is speaking.

Then it's my turn to continue.

"President Liu was constantly on edge because of this group of people. On the one hand, he strengthened the company's security, and on the other hand, he hired private bodyguards to protect him."

"At this point, everything is actually quite normal; at most, it's just a labor dispute."

The next second, I changed the subject.

"However, the turning point began here."

"On the third day after the incident, someone mysteriously discovered a man's body by the river!"

"And that man was none other than Sun Lei, the first migrant worker to demand unpaid wages from Liu Chaoyang!"

"Successfully getting their wages back should have been a happy occasion for this farmer's family, but no one expected that just three days later, it would turn into a tragedy for them!"

"Is this reasonable? No! Is this suspicious? Very suspicious!"

"Liu Chaoyang, what do you want to say about his drowning death?"
