Upon hearing this, everyone present frowned in unison.
They weren't surprised that Jiang Fengshan had done anything wrong, but rather that the investigation bureau had the audacity to storm into the conglomerate's headquarters to arrest him.
They arrested someone as high-ranking as Jiang Fengshan.
Where are the security guards? Where are they?!
Xu Shi was the first to disagree, slamming his hand on the table and standing up. "Director Tang, aren't you going too far? Hmm?"
"This is the conference room at the 'Snake Ring' headquarters. We're having a board meeting right now, and you just barge in and arrest people like this? Do you even respect us?!"
"...I'm sorry, Chairman Xu, please calm down."
Tang Shuang paused for a moment, then replied as calmly as possible, "But I was just acting in accordance with the law, so please understand."
She also secretly rolled her eyes at Xu Shi.
Didn't you send me?
Although the copy sent to the inspection bureau was an anonymous report, she could roughly guess that the whistleblower was most likely Xu Shi.
It must involve a conflict of interest within their conglomerate... She didn't become the head of the investigation bureau at such a young age just because of her fighting skills; she's quite knowledgeable about similar matters.
But thinking about it that way, doesn't it make me seem like he's using me to do his dirty work...?
But she couldn't bear to watch the video, and even if it was just out of sympathy for Jiang Chengcheng, who was also a woman, she had to go.
The fact that her reckless behavior seemed to go unchecked only confirmed her suspicions.
That's really annoying.
Although it was done voluntarily, being used as a tool is not a pleasant thing.
And then you have to point your finger at me and yell at me?
You surnamed Xu, are you even human?!
Lin Wenhua also noticed this point. Looking at the entire history of "Snake Ring", nothing like this has ever happened before!
If it weren't for someone giving instructions, the inspection bureau would have been stuck waiting downstairs at the group's building, and would have had to return empty-handed.
As for who instructed them... the only one who could target Jiang Fengshan like this is Xu Shi.
Hey kid, you've been waiting here.
"Director Tang says I'm guilty, what's the evidence?"
After a brief moment of surprise, Jiang Fengshan regained his composure and said calmly, "I am, after all, the head of the engineering department at 'Snake Ring.' If you're going to arrest me based on mere rumors, I'll sue you for defamation!"
At this point, even if he was slow to catch his breath, he could figure out that he had been betrayed by Jiang Chengcheng.
After all, he had only done these things to Jiang Chengcheng. If she hadn't told Xu Shi, he probably would never have known.
So you were just being evasive before?
Jiang Fengshan cursed under his breath, never expecting that the little bitch would turn against him, and he hadn't even noticed!
Or perhaps it was his confidence; after all these years, he was convinced that he had destroyed all of Jiang Chengcheng's resistance.
Despite his anger, he wasn't worried.
In public, he always presents himself as a loving father, and Jiang Chengcheng has been diagnosed with mental health issues.
If it's just empty talk, then it's completely useless.
But the next second he was slapped in the face. Tang Shuang flicked her wrist and the video recording that was being used as evidence popped out.
The video was quite long, but the content was largely the same.
All of these were records of Jiang Fengshan's various acts of abuse and beatings against Jiang Chengcheng, and his beast-like words and actions were also recorded.
"Isn't it my duty to help me write reports and analyze design schemes? I've raised you for so many years, and you actually have the nerve to argue with me about plagiarism?"
"If I hadn't taken pity on you and adopted you back then, you'd probably be dead somewhere by now!"
In the video, Jiang Chengcheng could only curl up and cover her mouth to stop herself from crying, looking so helpless that it was heartbreaking to see.
The others looked at Jiang Fengshan with increasingly strange expressions, clearly not expecting that this always smiling old man would have such a side to him.
"Alright, let's discuss the details back at the station."
Tang Shuang quickly ended the video call, clearly not wanting anyone to see more. "Is there anything else, Mr. Jiang?"
Jiang Fengshan was still in shock.
You have to understand, he's not stupid. Even in his own home, he wouldn't leave evidence of such a thing!
So, where did that little bitch install these miniature cameras, and even manage to avoid signal interference in the house?
Is her skill level in this area really that high?
But now is not the time to dwell on this. He quickly recovered and gave Lin Wenhua a wink.
Lin Wenhua understood immediately, nodded silently, and then popped up his communicator to send a message to someone unknown.
He didn't care what Jiang Fengshan had done, but he absolutely couldn't stand by and watch the other party fall into the hands of the investigation bureau.
After all, he wasn't a pawn like Xu Anbang could be discarded at any time; he was like an indispensable right-hand man!
If they were really taken away, that would be terrible!
As he operated it, Tang Shuang's communicator soon rang.
This made the bureau chief feel uneasy, and sure enough, the more he listened, the uglier his expression became.
Seeing this, Jiang Fengshan and Lin Wenhua also revealed smug smiles.
Having operated in Night City for so many years, they have never neglected building up their network of connections.
In their eyes, what are you, a mere head of the inspection bureau?
They're just people under the city hall... Such titles are only good for intimidating ordinary people or small-time thugs in Sin City; they're nothing to conglomerates.
The six major conglomerates are the uncrowned kings of Night City. How can you, a mere inspector, be allowed to act so recklessly here?
That's because Tang Shuang is so stubborn; anyone else probably wouldn't have come.
As for someone like her, it's just a little troublesome; we can just put some pressure on her superiors at the city hall.
Thinking of this, Lin Wenhua looked at Xu Shi meaningfully.
With such limited skills, you think you can use someone else to do your dirty work?
That's far from enough; young people are still too young.
But in any case, he realized that Xu Shi really couldn't stay any longer and could no longer play house with him like before.
Tang Shuang's face was also full of helplessness. The request in the communication was naturally for her to stop the arrest and leave.
But honestly, she didn't want to give up just like that.
So she walked to the side and tried her best to persuade them in a low voice.
But clearly, this was all in vain.
After cutting off the communication, she turned to look at Xu Shi, her eyes filled with regret.
For once, she felt that, regardless of his motives, this guy had at least done something good.
Who would have thought it would end like this?
Meeting her gaze, Xu Shi appeared quite calm, showing no signs of a failed scheme.
He simply gave Tang Shuang a look, then gently pressed his hand down, signaling her not to rush.
It was at this moment that an untimely sound rang out from not far away.
"What about me? Am I qualified to take this old bastard away?"
