I'm certainly not that arrogant.

I know exactly how much I am capable of.

But if I want to protect Fang Guoxu, I must first make Han Zicang trust me.

"Please give me a week, Chairman. I will investigate this matter thoroughly. If I don't find the real thief, or if it's Fang Guoxu who stole the money, I will resign and leave the company with him."

My eyes were firm, my words were neither humble nor arrogant, and I did not shy away from the responsibilities I should bear.

Perhaps my persistence moved Han Zicang, and he said, "Okay, I'll give you a week."

Han Zicang stood up and paused as he walked past me, whispering, "I'm waiting for you to prove it to me."

I was slightly stunned, and then I felt a little relieved when I saw Han Zicang leaving.

I drove Fang Guoxu to Lan Feng's place. When I opened the door, Lan Feng was standing at the door with red eyes, almost crying with anxiety.

"What happened? Is the person safe?" Lan Feng asked worriedly as she let me in.

Fang Guoxu had not yet recovered from the accident. He was silent all the way. When he got home, he walked straight to the sofa and sat down, his eyes still a little dull.

I glanced at him and said to Lan Feng calmly, "This matter has alarmed the chairman. If the truth cannot be found out within a week, not only will he lose his job, but I will also have to resign."

"Ah? How could it be so serious?" Lan Feng was extremely worried, but she still explained on behalf of Fang Guoxu, "Xiaoshan, we are the ones who are holding you back. But I promise you, Guoxu will never steal!"

"It doesn't matter whether I believe him or not. What's important is to find out what happened so I can find a way to prove his innocence."

Lan Feng poured a glass of warm water and handed it to Fang Guoxu. After watching him finish drinking it, she urged him softly, "Why don't you explain the whole story to Xiaoshan? Otherwise, no one can help you, and you'll just end up in jail!"

Fang Guoxu slowly recovered from his shock, swallowed nervously, and murmured, "I was just going to work as usual, but while patrolling the floor, our captain asked me to go to the Legal Department to deliver a package. I didn't think much of it and went with it. There was no one in the Legal Department, so I put the package on the office desk and left. Who knew that in the afternoon, Huang Ling, the Legal Department's secretary, said she lost her wallet. They said I was the only one in the Legal Department that morning, so they insisted that I stole the wallet."

Fang Guoxu became increasingly frustrated as he spoke. "I don't know how it happened, but my wallet was found on me. They thought they had caught me red-handed, so they called the police and took me away."

The Ministry of Justice did not conduct any surveillance, and when Fang Guoxu entered the Ministry of Justice, there was no one in the office, so no one could prove his innocence.

As for how the wallet came into Fang Guoxu's possession, it must be that the framer took the opportunity to deliberately stuff the wallet into his clothes pocket when he had contact with him.

The pockets of the security uniform were very deep and large, so Fang Guoxu didn't notice them until they were searched.

After listening to Fang Guoxu's story, Lan Feng immediately became annoyed: "Isn't it obvious that someone is framing me?"

She looked at Fang Guoxu angrily, angry at his lack of fighting spirit. "You're so tongue-tied that you don't even know how to defend yourself!"

"I already said I didn't steal it, I didn't take it, but no one believed me..." Fang Guoxu also looked aggrieved. Why didn't he argue? But no one believed him at all.
