Liu Ren's eyes widened, his face filled with rage. Without hesitation, he chose to ram the door, attempting to break through this obstacle. However, the fire door was like an impregnable fortress, remaining completely still.
Li Fang cursed under his breath, "Damn it!" His brows furrowed tightly, his heart filled with anxiety. Then, he dialed He Sai's number and recounted the whole story.
He Sai immediately understood Luo Bin's intention. Her voice became serious as she instructed the two of them to stop Jin Yanru, otherwise Zhang Sheng's lawsuit might take a turn for the worse.
Li Fang could only reply helplessly, "I can only say I'll try my best, since we can't get in at all right now." His eyes revealed a hint of helplessness and despair.
Zheng Fangxiu also walked to the side and dialed Su Chang's number. Her voice carried a hint of apology as she said, "Young Master, I'm sorry! Something happened again at Company 820."
Su Chang, who was on his way to the hospital, frowned upon hearing Zheng Fangxiu's words. His voice turned cold as he asked, "What happened?"
Zheng Fangxiu recounted in detail how Jin Yanru provoked her and how she was now preparing to jump off their roof.
Su Chang's face grew increasingly gloomy. Anger surged in his heart, but at the same time, he gained a deeper understanding of Jin Yanru's intentions and couldn't help but admire the greatness of Jin Yanru's maternal love. She was truly willing to risk her life for Zhang Sheng.
"Why is the fire door on the top floor open?" Su Chang asked, feeling a little strange after thinking for a while.
Su Chang's question startled Zheng Fangxiu, and a thought quickly flashed through her mind. Then, as if she had just realized something, an excited expression appeared on her face, and she said, "Young Master, I reckon Jin Yanru probably won't be able to jump."
"Oh? Why?" Su Chang asked with interest, a hint of curiosity in his eyes.
Even Liu Ren and Li Fang, who were next to Zheng Fangxiu, leaned in to listen, eager to know if Jin Yanru's plan would be thwarted.
Zheng Fangxiu smiled slightly, a hint of smugness in her voice, and said, "Today Xiong Kuohai came to help us reorganize the security department..."
Leaving aside Su Chang and the others, on the rooftop, Jin Yanru was leaning against the wall, wanting to rest for a bit before preparing to jump. But when she saw the situation on the rooftop, she was suddenly dumbfounded.
A stern-looking middle-aged man was leading a group of security guards on the balcony. The man stood at the head of the group, staring at her with a puzzled expression. His eyes were sharp and resolute, as if they could see right through her.
Without the slightest hesitation, the middle-aged man walked straight up to Jin Yanru and asked with a serious expression, "Madam, who are you? Why are you on the company rooftop? Outsiders are not allowed here." His voice was deep and powerful, carrying an unquestionable authority.
Chapter 267 Arrival
Jin Yanru felt a sudden pang of panic. Her eyes darted around, and she dared not meet the middle-aged man's gaze. Looking at his stern face, strong physique, and mature demeanor, her face flushed red, and her eyes darted around, lost in thought.
Her hands unconsciously clenched the hem of her dress, and her body trembled slightly as she said, "This...that...I..."
Seeing Jin Yanru's hesitant manner, Xiong Kuohai warned again, "Madam, if you don't clearly state your identity and purpose, I'll have you arrested." His voice was tinged with impatience, and he gave a wink to the security guard behind him.
Jin Yanru then rolled her eyes, rolled her eyes at Xiong Kuohai, and said coquettishly, "What do you think a weak woman like me can do? I'm a business partner of your company. I just finished talking with your company's President Su, and I'm just coming up to the rooftop for some fresh air." Her voice carried a hint of grievance, and she slightly raised her chin, trying to show her innocence.
Xiong Kuohai remained unmoved. With a serious expression, he pointed to the loudly banging security door and said, "Then why did you close the door? And why is someone chasing you? Tell me honestly who you are, or I will have to take coercive measures against you." His tone was firm, and his gaze was piercing as he stared intently at Jin Yanru.
Seeing that her charms had no effect, Jin Yanru's anger flared like a fire. Her eyes instantly turned red, and tears streamed down her face like a burst dam, making her look as pitiful as a wounded fawn.
With a voice trembling with sobs, she pleaded, "Sir, my name is Jin Yanru, and I'm the owner of Fenghua Company. I'm truly desperate; I've been chased here and only now have I found refuge on the balcony. Please, please don't open the door. Just let me hide here for a little while, okay?"
Upon hearing Jin Yanru's name, Xiong Kuohai frowned deeply. He knew this woman's identity, of course. Jin Yanru's son was plotting to murder his boss, and he had come to reorganize the company's security department.
He stared at Jin Yanru with a hostile expression and said firmly, "Ms. Jin, I don't care why you're here. Please leave the rooftop now, or I will take immediate coercive measures against you."
Seeing that Xiong Kuohai remained unmoved, Jin Yanru felt a sudden panic, and a wave of resentment washed over her. She thought to herself, "Why is it so hard for me to even die?"
So, she looked at Xiong Kuohai with a wronged expression and roared, "You're a bad person too! You're all bullying me! Didn't I tell you? I was forced to hide on the balcony. Are you trying to drive me to my death?"
Xiong Kuohai remained calm, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's, as if he could see through Jin Yanru's thoughts.
He said calmly, "Ms. Jin, the security work for Longteng Group has now been taken over by our Fiery Shield Company. It's impossible for a large number of people outside the company to come and ambush you. If that were the case, my people would call the police for you. So, there's only one possibility: you're lying."
Seeing how difficult Xiong Kuohai was to deal with, Jin Yanru widened her eyes, pointed at Xiong Kuohai with an incredulous expression, and began to argue unreasonably: "How can you, a grown man, act like this? It's the people from Longteng Group who are bullying me, are you going to help them force me to my death?"
Her voice was filled with despair and anger, her fingers trembling slightly, as if accusing Xiong Kuohai of ruthlessness.
Xiong Kuohai stood motionless, his expression cold and resolute, a hint of disdain in his eyes. He thought to himself, "This woman is truly unreasonable. She's the one making a scene, yet she tries to shift the blame onto others."
Xiong Kuohai, too lazy to waste any more words with Jin Yanru, simply waved his hand behind him. The two female instructors who had come with him understood immediately, and without a word, pounced on Jin Yanru like tigers, quickly subduing her.
Jin Yanru struggled desperately, constantly hurling insults at Xiong Kuohai and the two female instructors, but Xiong Kuohai and the others remained unmoved, their expressions serious and resolute.
Xiong Kuohai opened the fire door and saw Zheng Fangxiu and two strange men. His face turned serious, and he asked, "President Su, Jin Yanru has been taken into custody. What exactly happened?"
Hearing that Jin Yanru had been brought under control, Zheng Fangxiu breathed a sigh of relief. Her face was full of gratitude as she said, "Thank God! Jin Yanru has gone mad. She was planning to jump off our company building to put pressure on our young master and exonerate her son, Zhang Sheng. Fortunately, you brought her under control, otherwise it would have been a real problem."
Upon hearing Zheng Fangxiu's words, Xiong Kuohai's face revealed a complex expression. He glanced at Jin Yanru, who was being restrained, and a sense of pity, along with a touch of admiration for her, welled up within him.
But he quickly regained his composure and said to the two female bodyguards, "Take her to the security department and then call the police to handle it."
"Yes, Chief Instructor." The two female instructors responded in unison, supporting Jin Yanru as they walked downstairs.
As she passed by Xiong Kuohai, Jin Yanru glared at him fiercely and roared, "You filthy man, it's because of you that my plan failed. I won't let you get away with this!"
Xiong Kuohai merely pursed his lips, completely ignoring Jin Yanru's threat. After greeting Zheng Fangxiu, he went to re-train the security personnel of Longteng Group.
Su Chang originally intended to go to the hospital, but due to Jin Yanru's incident, she had to come to Longteng Group first. As soon as Su Chang's car arrived at the company entrance, Zheng Fangxiu, Li Fang, and Liu Ren were already waiting there.
As soon as the car came to a stop, Zheng Fangxiu eagerly went up and opened the car door.
After Su Chang got out of the car, before Zheng Fangxiu could speak, a hint of anxiety flashed in his eyes. He frowned and asked first, "Where is Jin Yanru?"
Zheng Fangxiu immediately responded, her voice tinged with nervousness: "Young Master, Instructor Xiong has had her taken to the security department for safekeeping. We were going to call the police, but we'll wait for you to arrive before making a decision."
Su Chang nodded, his gaze shifting to Li Fang, his eyes filled with anticipation, and asked, "What did He Sai say?"
Li Fang immediately said respectfully, leaning forward slightly as if to show his loyalty: "Boss, Attorney He said that everything will be fine once Zhang Sheng's case is decided, and he told us to keep an eye on Jin Yanru these next few days."
Su Chang frowned, a sense of dissatisfaction rising in his heart. He didn't like this passive approach. He thought to himself, no wonder Luo Bin was more popular than He Sai in sealing. As soon as Luo Bin made a move, He Sai was put on the defensive. He Sai's professional level was still a bit lacking.
Su Chang pondered for a moment, then gently swiped his finger across his phone screen and dialed Qin Shi's number.
"Qin Shi, I need your help with something." Su Chang said as soon as the call connected.
On the other end of the phone, Qin Shi was chatting with Fang Zhiheng. When she heard Su Chang's words, she was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on her face. Her voice was teasing: "Oh! Our great boss Su needs my help sometimes? Call me 'sister,' and I'll help you."
Su Chang was speechless for a moment. He secretly lamented that he had been too good to Qin Shi and had lost sight of the difference between the two kings. But he still said helplessly, "Sister, it's extremely urgent. Please come and help me right away."
Qin Shi was just being a little temperamental. Hearing Su Chang back down, a smug smile immediately appeared on her face, and her voice carried a hint of pride: "Alright, seeing how honest you are, I'll help you out. Tell me, what exactly happened?"
Su Chang pursed his lips. Although he felt somewhat helpless, he decided to deal with the immediate problem first. He said, "Alright, come to Longteng Group first. I'll wait for you here. We'll discuss the details in person later." He then hung up the phone.
In Fang Zhiheng's hospital room, Qin Shi looked at the phone that had been hung up, a hint of resentment on her face. She pouted slightly and said unhappily, "How dare you hang up on me! Just wait and see how I deal with you!" She secretly thought to herself that she must let Su Chang know how powerful she was.
Fang Zhiheng smiled slightly at Qin Shi's indignant expression and gently comforted her, "Alright, Sister Qin Shi, you should go help Su Chang. Something urgent must have happened to him, and he's probably very busy, which is why he hung up on you."
A hint of displeasure flashed across Qin Shi's face, but she quickly concealed it. She said with feigned arrogance, "Alright then, Lucy, I'll forgive him this time only because of you. I'll go find him now, you get some rest." With that, she stood up and walked hurriedly out of the ward.
Cui Tianqi and Guan Xiaodi exchanged a glance after seeing Qin Shi leave, and then Cui Tianqi quickly followed after her.
On the other end, after hanging up the phone, Su Chang frowned at Zheng Fangxiu's hesitant expression and said, "Let's go, let's go to the security department first, we can talk about it when we get there, Miao."
Zheng Fangxiu immediately agreed and led Su Chang to the security department. Just as she was about to push the door open, Su Chang reached out and grabbed her arm.
Su Chang's eyes revealed a hint of caution. He lowered his voice and said, "Don't rush in. Let's find an empty office first."
When Zheng Fangxiu saw Jin Yanru sitting in the middle of the security department office, she immediately understood Su Chang's meaning. She nodded and led Su Chang to an empty office next door.
After the group entered the office, Su Chang sat on the sofa. Seeing the three of them still standing there dumbfounded, looking like they were waiting for his orders, he helplessly pressed his hand down and said, "Don't just stand there like idiots, sit down."
"Okay, Master."
"Okay, boss." ×2.
Chapter 268 Decision
Once the three of them sat down, Su Chang's expression turned serious. He looked at Zheng Fangxiu and asked, "Sister, what's the situation at Fenghua Company right now?"
Zheng Fangxiu's expression was unusually serious. She took a deep breath and said with a firm look in her eyes, "Young Master, the situation at Fenghua Company is completely under our control. The stock price has already hit rock bottom. Now that they have lost our company's cooperation projects, their suppliers and banks have started to demand payment. Many of their competitors have also started to take action against Fenghua Company. I think that in less than two days, Fenghua Company will have no choice but to declare bankruptcy, and Jin Yanru will also be heavily indebted. This time, she will definitely be doomed and will have no chance of turning things around."
Su Chang nodded in satisfaction, a slight smile playing on his lips. He thought to himself, "Zheng Fangxiu is indeed very capable in business matters. Let's see what tricks Jin Yanru can pull now."
He then looked at Li Fang, a hint of expectation in his eyes, and asked, "Li Fang, do you know what benefits Jin Yanru gave Luo Bin to help Zhang Sheng with his lawsuit?"
Li Fang frowned, looking troubled. His hands clenched and unclenched unconsciously, and he said nervously, "President Su, I'm sorry, time is tight, and we haven't found anything yet." He lowered his head, not daring to look Su Chang in the eye.
Zheng Fangxiu then said, "Young Master, I might know about this."
Su Chang looked at Zheng Fangxiu with surprise and asked, "Oh? Then tell me, what happened?"
“Young Master, when Sixth Sister was investigating Jin Yanru’s assets, she discovered that she used most of the funds at her disposal to acquire a law firm today. I think this might be the reason why Luo Bin made his move,” Zheng Fangxiu replied directly.
Upon hearing Zheng Fangxiu's words, Su Chang's eyes suddenly lit up. He slammed his hand on the table and exclaimed excitedly, "So that's how it is! Luo Bin wants to go solo!" A surge of anger welled up inside him, and he felt betrayed.
Su Chang instructed Zheng Fangxiu, "Big sister, go and remove Feng Yin from his position as director of Quanjing Law Firm, and then call Li Na back to temporarily manage Quanjing Law Firm."
"Yes, young master." Zheng Fangxiu agreed and then went to give instructions.
Su Chang then instructed Li Fang, "Li Fang, have someone keep a close eye on Feng Yin and Luo Bin. If they violate any rules, call the police and have them arrested." His voice was stern, and his eyes revealed determination and decisiveness.
Li Fang nodded hurriedly, secretly relieved that he hadn't completely disappointed Su Chang. He immediately said, "Okay, boss." Then he and Liu Ren quickly left the room to arrange manpower.
As Su Chang watched the group leave, he secretly pondered his next plan.
He knew he had to teach Luo Bin and the others a lesson this time, to make them understand the price of betrayal. At the same time, he decided to have Zheng Fangxiu and her team strengthen their management of the company to prevent similar incidents from happening again.
A little over half an hour later, Qin Shi and Cui Tianqi rushed to Su Chang's office. Upon seeing Su Chang, Qin Shi pouted and glared at him, saying, "Little Wei, who told you to hang up on your sister?"
Su Chang rolled his eyes in annoyance and said, "Alright, be serious and let's talk about business first." His expression was serious, as if he was somewhat helpless about Qin Shi's attitude.
Seeing Su Chang's serious expression, Qin Shi pursed her lips, feeling a little annoyed, but still said, "Fine, then tell me what happened." As she spoke, she sat down in the chair, crossed her arms in front of her chest, and adopted a domineering posture.
Su Chang recounted the events in detail, including Zhang Sheng cutting off her car, her reporting Zhang Sheng to the police for attempted murder which failed, the subsequent collapse of Fenghua Company, Luo Bin's betrayal, and Jin Yanru's plan to jump off her own company building to increase public pressure on herself in order to save Zhang Sheng.
"That's the situation. Do you have any good ideas on how to handle this?" Su Chang asked, his eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and helplessness.
Upon hearing this, Qin Shi frowned and lowered her head in deep thought. Her fingers tapped lightly on the table, as if she were pondering something.
After a while, she murmured softly, "That Luo Bin is ruthless enough to instigate someone to commit suicide. The invincible legend is no joke. And that Jin Yanru is ruthless too, willing to commit suicide for her son." Her expression became serious, as if she found the matter very difficult to handle.
Su Chang knew how tricky the situation was, but he still urged, "So do you have any good ideas? Do you think that if Jin Yanru really commits suicide, will it have a big impact on this case?" His voice was urgent, hoping that Qin Shi could provide a good solution.
Qin Shi nodded seriously and analyzed for Su Chang, "Public opinion tends to favor the weak. Although the law is ruthless, your case is already a matter of great importance. If public opinion leans towards Zhang Sheng, you can only sue him for dangerous driving at most, and you can't sue him for attempted murder. Moreover, Luo Bin has all the evidence you have, making this matter even more complicated." Her tone was firm, and her eyes revealed a sense of confidence.
Hearing Qin Shi's words, Su Chang frowned even more deeply. His hands clenched into fists, and he cursed inwardly, "That Luo Bin, what a despicable fellow!" He asked, "So I have no choice but to have someone keep an eye on her to prevent her from committing suicide?"
Qin Shi shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that won't work either. You don't have law enforcement power, nor the right to monitor and restrict the other party's personal freedom. Doing so would only give Luo Bin more leverage." Her expression was very serious, as if she was thinking of a better solution.
Su Chang thought about it and realized it was true. (ccdj) Inwardly cursed He Sai's professional ability as truly terrible. Then, he frowned and suggested, "Then what do you think about calling the police?"
Qin Shi shook her head slightly, a hint of helplessness in her eyes. After thinking for a moment, she said again, "I'm afraid that won't work either. For this kind of thing, they usually just warn the person involved and at most take them back for a lecture. Besides, since Luo Bin is Zhang Sheng's defense lawyer, he will definitely try to bail Jin Yanru out as soon as possible, so it will be useless anyway."
Hearing Qin Shi say no again, Su Chang's face darkened. He sighed helplessly and stopped bothering Qin Shi, quietly waiting for her opinion.
Qin Shi fell into deep thought, her fingers tapping lightly on the table. After a long while, she slowly said, "You have to take a two-pronged approach now: temporarily let Fenghua Company go in order to keep Jin Yanru in check, and then put pressure on the police to prosecute Zhang Sheng as soon as possible."
Su Chang pondered for a moment, his eyes flickering with hesitation, and said, "Even if we back down now, I don't think Jin Yanru will agree unless we're willing to let Zhang Sheng go."
