The moment He Lingchuan spoke, Zhang Ying realized that this person was different from anyone he had encountered before. He Lingchuan had more courage than any of his previous partners.
Zhang Ying had a premonition that he had gotten himself into big trouble this time.
He glared at He Lingchuan, neither of them giving an inch.
The atmosphere between the two gradually became tense, and neither was willing to speak first.
After more than ten minutes, Zhang Yingxian finally couldn't hold on any longer and spoke up: "So what if you go in? Even if I give you a chance to investigate, you won't find anything."
"Whether I can find out or not is my business. I'm just afraid that Mr. Zhang will feel guilty and won't dare to let me in to investigate."
He Lingchuan didn't intend to leave empty-handed this time; he had to find out something.
He initially only wanted to find the people on the list who were just trying to get away with things, but Zhang Ying's reaction was so strong that he realized there were other hidden stories involved.
Zhang Ying frowned, blocking the doorway, and looked at He Lingchuan with a stubborn expression: "This is my private property. You have no right to come in. If you insist on coming, I will have no choice but to take legal action."
"That's great."
He Lingchuan curled his lips into a smile. He couldn't wait to go through legal proceedings so that the police could see whether Zhang Ying's business was legal or not.
He knew that Zhang Ying's purpose in saying that was to scare him. He Lingchuan looked at him calmly and even took the initiative to call the police.
Zhang Ying stood there, stunned, and began to panic.
He reached out and grabbed He Lingchuan's wrist, looking at him impatiently: "Lingchuan, let's talk this out, why make a scene like this?"
"I didn't want it to be like this either."
He Lingchuan impatiently shook off Zhang Ying's hand, his attitude firm: "Didn't you say you wanted to go through legal procedures? It's better to have the police come, so you won't say I'm being unreasonable."
Half an hour later, a police car slowly drove up.
He Lingchuan looked at the people walking towards them and waved excitedly: "Officer, over here."
One of the police officers was in plainclothes, presumably having just finished responding to a call.
He Lingchuan told him the whole story, but saw the policeman frown and angrily rebuke him: "Is this all? Can't you handle it yourselves?"
He Lingchuan looked at the person in front of him with some surprise: "We can't solve it, so..."
"Do you realize you're wasting police resources? Do you know how much resources it takes for us to respond to calls?"
He Lingchuan looked at him with some confusion, his face turning pale: "I..."
"Alright, don't contact us unless it's important. You're business partners, so you should value harmony."
In the end, they just went through the motions and did a simple check. Not only did He Lingchuan fail to get into the investigation list as he wished, he was even forcibly taken away by the police.
Back at the lab, the police even sent two people to give them a pep talk, which was basically an accusation that they were wasting police resources.
Gu Chengze's chest heaved with anger, and he tried several times to interrupt the policeman: "We are simply..."
"Chengze, stop talking."
He Lingchuan pressed down on his shoulder and looked at the policeman in a very cooperative manner: "Officer, we know we were wrong. We will never waste police resources again in the future. Please rest assured."
Hearing He Lingchuan say this, the police nodded in satisfaction.
He looked at He Lingchuan with great satisfaction, and patted him on the shoulder before leaving: "Thank you for your cooperation. If there is anything in the future, you can call me directly on my private phone."
As he spoke, he left his contact information.
He Lingchuan looked at him with a half-smile, and only his face darkened after he saw the person off.
After their figures completely disappeared from his sight, Gu Chengze cursed loudly, "Pah! What kind of police are they? They're just playing us for fools!"
"They're in cahoots."
There's a reason why Zhang Ying was able to build Chengfeng Group into such a large company. If he didn't have someone protecting him, how could he dare to blatantly plagiarize other people's intellectual property?
Judging from Zhang Ying's reaction speed, this was definitely not the first time he had done something like this.
This was just the first time I'd encountered someone as difficult as myself.
It's estimated that all those people were scared off by Zhang Ying's power and didn't defend their rights.
He Lingchuan frowned, a bold idea forming in his mind: "Chengze, do you think if we unite all of Zhang Ying's previous partners, we could overthrow him?"
Gu Chengze understood He Lingchuan's meaning; he wanted to persuade those people to actively protect their rights, but...
"Are you sure Zhang Ying treated them the same way? Based on my understanding of Chengfeng Group, every one of his partners is very satisfied with them. They have always adhered to the principle of parting amicably, and some have even signed contracts with foreign companies on Zhang Ying's recommendation."
Gu Chengze felt that He Lingchuan's idea was very risky: "You can't be sure if this is the first time Zhang Ying has done something like this. Maybe he has only used this method on us before. What if we bet on the wrong person and those people take the initiative to defend Zhang Ying?"
They should be in a wait-and-see phase now. If they guess wrong, if Zhang Ying does this for the first time, wouldn't they be shooting themselves in the foot?
I understand your concerns.
He Lingchuan's tone was heavy, but he still decided to take the gamble: "However, I still think this is definitely not the first time he has done something like this."
He Lingchuan raised his head, his eyes resolute: "He was too calm. It was as if he could guess what I would do. He was so skilled that he must have plagiarized other people's work in this way before. It's just that they were not as resolute as I was and chose to compromise under Zhang Ying's coercion and enticement."
They probably aren't as famous as him. After all, he's now the center of attention. Although he's been constantly insulted, at least he's always being noticed.
If he gives it his all, he might actually be able to expose Chengfeng Group's long-standing facade.
As for those people from before, they had no fame or status, so they had no choice but to compromise.
He Lingchuan, with his hand on his chin, boldly speculated: "I don't think they are suitable for signing contracts with foreign companies. Maybe they were expelled abroad."
He Lingchuan wanted to go and find out. Zhang Ying had cooperated with so many people, there must have been one or two people who had suffered at his hands.
Finding one would increase his chances of winning.
Gu Chengze frowned, not really approving of He Lingchuan's approach.
However, he still chose to fully support He Lingchuan.
Gu Chengze raised his hand and patted He Lingchuan's shoulder: "If you need me to help you find someone, just say so. But I have to remind you, doing this is tantamount to declaring war on Chengfeng Group. Are you sure you want to continue investigating?"
