Knock knock knock!

"You've come!"

Liu Shangqiao sat on the sofa with one leg crossed, watched the three people walk in, closed his eyes and said expressionlessly.

"What does the chairman want with us?"

Although Jia Bing was also a director, he no longer felt the same high spirits he had when facing a big shot like Liu Shang. He asked Liu Shang in a low voice.

"Why did we call you here? Don't you know the answer yourselves?"

Liu Shang opened his eyes and looked at the three of them coldly, asking them a question.

"Chairman, it was Jia Bing who made us do it!"

"Jia Bing came up with the idea, and he was the one who found the people."

Apart from Jia Bing, the other two directors were well aware that Liu Shang already knew what had happened.

The two of them didn't care about being ethical anymore and simply betrayed Jia Bing.

"Mr. Liu, this wasn't just something I did alone. When I came up with this idea, the two of them smiled and wholeheartedly agreed!"

Jia Bing's heart skipped a beat when she saw Liu Shang looking at her.

Looking at the two treacherous people behind him, and knowing things had already come to this, Jia Bing didn't care anymore. "If we're going to die, we'll die together," he said directly to Liu Shang.

"How do you plan to handle this matter?"

Just as Liu Shang was about to lose his temper, Lu Fan stopped him and asked the group.

The group didn't have a good impression of Lu Fan, an outsider.

If he hadn't brought a project last time, they wouldn't have even glanced at him, and they all remained silent when asked about Lu Fan's questions.

"Speak up! Are you all mute?"

Seeing that the three people completely ignored Lu Fan, Liu Shang noticed that Lu Fan's expression was somewhat unnatural.

Then he angrily scolded the three of them.

"Mr. Lu, we have no other options."

Seeing Liu Shang's anger, the three could only turn to Lu Fan and reply.

"Okay, if you can't find a solution, then we'll come up with one. You just need to agree in the end."

Lu Fan didn't recognize these three people, and their defiance of him made him unhappy.

However, Liu Shang, sitting next to them, didn't show anything and continued to smile as he spoke to the three of them.

"We all listen to the chairman."

The three of them turned to look at Liu Shang. They knew that Liu Shang valued brotherhood the most and would never abandon them, so they all looked at Liu Shang.

"It seems Mr. Liu can handle this himself. I'd better head back first, as I still have a lot of things to do at my own company."

Seeing that he wasn't needed here, everyone trusted Liu Shang.

Lu Fan was already annoyed; they were the ones who made mistakes, yet he was the one who had to clean up their mess.

"President Lu, don't make a big fuss. Hurry up and apologize to President Lu. If it weren't for President Lu coming to handle this matter, you might have already been arrested."

Liu Shang, who had been sitting on the sidelines watching, didn't want to offend either his business partner or the company's major shareholder. However, seeing that Lu Fan was angry and preparing to leave, he realized that the whole matter depended on Lu Fan. If Lu Fan left, the whole thing would be over. So, he could only reprimand the three directors.

"President Lu, we were blind to your greatness."

Please don't be angry with us.

"Please help us, Mr. Lu."

It was only at this point that the three directors realized that the one who could truly save them was not Liu Shang, but Lu Fan, whom they had always disliked. Now they understood that if they wanted to successfully overcome this crisis, they could not afford to offend Lu Fan.

He glanced at Liu Shang, who was pleading for leniency, then at the three directors, and sat back down on the sofa.

Lu Fan is now out of options. His company needs a lot of funds to operate, and currently only Shanggong Group can provide him with the money.

"By the way, what exactly happened? Did you see those villagers with gasoline on them, and yet they still rushed towards us?"

Lu Fan thought of something and asked the three directors, puzzled.

"Mr. Lu, do you think we're the kind of people who would dare to kill?"

When Jia Bing heard Lu Fan's question, he helplessly tugged at his hands, frowned, and didn't answer Lu Fan.

"I don't think you have the guts. If it wasn't caused by you, how could they suddenly catch fire?"

Although Lu Fan felt in his heart that they wouldn't dare to do such a thing.

But it still happened, and Lu Fan pressed the three of them with a questioning tone.

"That's the strange thing. We were still far away from the two villagers who were burned to death when we suddenly saw sparks coming from their bodies. Then there was chaos. We called for people to put out the fire, but the fire was too big. The two villagers were burned beyond recognition."

Jia Bing glanced at the other two directors, and seeing that they remained silent, she had no choice but to recount the events to Lu Fan herself.

"If you didn't do it, why are we the ones in the spotlight now! What exactly happened?"

After listening to Jia Bing's account, Lu Fan impatiently picked at his ear and angrily questioned the three of them, who were still hiding things from him.

“Okay, then I’ll explain properly. Right now, they’re the ones working for us. When the two villagers were on fire, I wanted everyone to rush to their aid, but they ordered their men not to go and instead ordered them to continue demolishing the structures, which delayed the rescue efforts. Then, a conflict broke out with the villagers, and they shifted all the blame onto us.”

Jia Bing no longer needed to consider any sentimentality and directly told Lu Fan the truth.
