"Alright, Lao Cheng. Don't keep saying these things; it won't do you any good if someone overhears you."

Li Zhi looked around and couldn't help but offer a reminder.

Although this is also their idea, it is too early to say it now.

This place is Jian Mingpeng's territory. Although they are shareholders of Jian's Group, they don't usually appear at the company.

The possibility of eavesdropping can arise at any time.

Cheng Fei snorted coldly, not taking Li Zhi's words seriously at all. "Hmph, if Jian Mingpeng dares to do it, what is there to be afraid of! Besides, I'm just telling the truth."

Xu Dongsheng remained silent. He knew the two men's personalities well and did not intend to offer any advice, since he had not come here today to act as a peacemaker.

Upon hearing this, Li Zhi knew that Cheng Fei would not listen to him, so he gave up trying to persuade him and remained silent.

Seeing that neither of them responded, Cheng Fei had a thousand words in his heart, but he could only swallow them down.

He picked up the tea his secretary had poured for him earlier and drank it all in one gulp, still feeling resentful.

Just then, the door was suddenly pushed open.

Immediately afterwards, Jian Mingpeng, whom the group had been longing for, appeared before their eyes.

Hearing the noise, the three of them looked towards the door at the same time.

Upon seeing the person who arrived, he couldn't help but frown, feeling quite displeased.

Xu Dongsheng and Li Zhi were alright and didn't say anything directly, but Cheng Fei, who was already holding a grudge and had a more carefree personality, didn't have such a good temper.

Looking at Jian Mingpeng standing at the door, she couldn't help but stand up and shout, "Is this how you planned to handle this? A whole day has passed and it's still the same. Do you think our money grows on trees? You can just squander it like this!"

When money was mentioned, Cheng Fei couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache.

The money he lost these past two days is enough to woo countless beauties...

And all of this is because of the man in front of me...

Cheng Fei was furious and glared at Jian Mingpeng as he walked in.

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng's expression did not change, but no one knew that he was secretly furious.

Right now, he needs to appease the three people in front of him.

Jian Mingpeng feigned deep distress and said, "Dear shareholders, I'm sorry. It was my dereliction of duty that I didn't respond yesterday."

Although it is said that family scandals should not be aired in public, I am no longer prepared to hide it now.

Here, I want to say sorry to everyone. All of this happened because of my family issues.

"This is a misfortune for our family. It's all thanks to Ms. Jian's excellent parenting that her daughter has caused such a terrible disaster."

As Jian Mingpeng expected, his words successfully attracted the attention of the three men.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Fei, who was unaware of the inside story, asked in surprise, "You mean the things that were exposed before weren't true, and that your daughter did it all? Then why would she do it?"

Born into a large family where everyone shares the same fate, Cheng Fei couldn't understand why Jian Mingpeng's daughter would do something so harmful to others and herself.

What good would it do Jane a lot if she fell on hard times?

At this moment, Cheng Fei only thought of Jian Mingpeng's daughter raised in the capital, forgetting the daughter Jian Mingpeng had with his ex-wife, whom he had discovered during his previous investment investigation, who had been abandoned by her since childhood.

Li Zhi was equally puzzled, looking at Jian Mingpeng and waiting for him to finish speaking.

Xu Dongsheng, standing to the side, remained motionless for a long time after hearing Jian Mingpeng's words.

~~~~

Her contempt for Jian Mingpeng intensified, and she stared intently at him to see what he would say next.

Jian Mingpeng observed the reactions of the group and took in their expressions.

Cheng Fei's words set the tone, and Jian Mingpeng, seeing this, pretended to be troubled, looking at the others with a sad expression, and said, "Yes, she did all these things. She did them to get revenge on me."

The reason she did this is partly my fault. My ex-wife passed away unexpectedly, and I was devastated. As a result, she started having health problems, and on the doctor's advice, I sent her to the countryside to recuperate.

I never imagined she would harbor resentment towards me because of this, and everything she did was out of revenge. Little did she know, I did those things for her own good.

Upon hearing this, Cheng Fei instantly believed Jian Mingpeng's words, "How could someone have such a daughter? If she were mine, I would have strangled her long ago."

Li Zhi, standing to the side, did not believe Jian Mingpeng's explanation, finding it illogical.

He couldn't believe that if she were truly going to the countryside to recuperate, a naive girl would do something like this.

Jian Mingpeng's words reminded Li Zhi that Jian Mingpeng and his current wife seemed to have married in the same year.

Suddenly, Li Zhi seemed to understand something and turned to look at Xu Dongsheng, who hadn't said a word the whole time.

Seeing Li Zhi looking at him, Xu Dongsheng politely returned a meaningful look.

Seeing this, Li Zhi became even more certain of his thoughts.

He knew Xu Dongsheng was a cautious person and must know something, which was why he silently watched the conversation between Cheng Fei and Jian Mingpeng without saying a word.

Upon hearing Cheng Fei's words, Jian Mingpeng maintained his facade, saying, "She is still my daughter, after all."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Fei was immediately filled with disappointment and frustration.

Even more agitated than Jian Mingpeng, he said, "What's the point of having a daughter like that? It would be better if she died."

Li Zhi looked at Cheng Fei, who had already forgotten his purpose, and couldn't help but facepalm.

He used to think he was just carefree, but he never expected him to be so naive.

Seeing that the topic had gone off track, he said, "Even if your daughter orchestrated all of this, you are still derelict in your duty as her father."

But if what she said isn't true, what do you have to worry about? This matter has been brewing for two days, and Jane's hasn't made a move. Isn't this just creating more buzz for people?

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng's expression stiffened, and he was very displeased that Li Zhi had disrupted his plans.

If he is truly innocent, then there is nothing to fear!

The problem is that he did indeed do this. Although the finance department tampered with his records, if he hadn't been reported before, they wouldn't have investigated so thoroughly and probably wouldn't have found out.

But now that things are like this, with government agencies coming to investigate, he can't guarantee anything.

Otherwise, he hadn't asked the group to do anything these past two days, and had been contacting Jian Yixue to find out what she wanted. He wasn't sure if Jian Yixue had any other dirt on him.

However, he dared not show it on his face. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Although that's true, it's always more effective to find the person in question and have her come out in person to clarify things than to make any statement."

"So, did you find it?"

As Xu Dongsheng asked, through the conversation among the group, he became increasingly certain of his suspicions and was unwilling to waste any more time there.

Upon hearing this, Jian Mingpeng was immediately taken aback.
