"What's wrong? You two seem a little nervous?"
One of the policemen looked at the sweat on Liu Shuang's face as he spoke and asked.
"Oh, it's just a bit hot."
That's right!
Liu Shuang smiled, took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat from her face, and explained to the police. Li Jian echoed Liu Shuang's explanation.
"Hey, what happened to that bruise around your eye?"
Seeing Li Jian speaking, they then noticed the bruises on Li Jian's face from the earlier beating.
"I was too far away to see clearly just now," Li Jian asked.
"This, this is..."
Li Jian was momentarily at a loss for words when asked the question, and his eyes unconsciously drifted to Liu Shuang, hoping she could come up with an explanation for him.
"Why are you looking at me like that? If the police ask you what happened, just tell them the truth. Why are you looking at me like that? It's just that I had a few drinks with you last night and I fell down. Do you have to act like this in front of the police?"
Liu Shuang noticed that Li Jian was looking at her, and she was speechless. He couldn't even tell a lie, he was so stupid!
Having no other choice, Liu Shuang, in order to avoid arousing the police's suspicion, quickly came up with a plan in her mind and said it to Li Jian with a smile.
"Yes, it's just a small matter, and it's troubled the police officers."
Hearing Liu Shuang's fabricated explanation, Li Jian understood and said to the police with an embarrassed expression.
"What's wrong? Hello, I am the legal representative of this company, my name is Liu Shang."
Liu Shanggang received a call saying the police had arrived, and hurriedly came downstairs.
From afar, I saw Liu Shuang talking to the police, so I quickly walked over and asked Liu Shuang a question.
He then smiled and said to the police.
"You're Liu Shang, the new legal representative of this company? I remember the previous legal representative was named Gu Hai. When did you become the legal representative?"
The police officer looked at Liu Shang, who claimed to be the legal representative, and thought back for a moment.
This wasn't their first time visiting; Gu Hai had always been the one to greet them.
"You're talking about our former chairman. Due to health reasons, he has now handed over the management of the company entirely to me."
Liu Shang narrowed his eyes, not expecting that the two policemen had come prepared.
It seems he's not so easily fooled, but he still smiled as he spoke.
"No matter what happened to Gu Hai, you are now the legal representative of this company, and we are here to ask you some questions."
Liu Shang's answer was also ambiguous, and both of them had been policemen for many years.
They had some idea of what was going on with the sudden change, but since Liu Shang himself didn't want to talk about it, they didn't press him further.
After all, Gu Hai is a thing of the past, and now the company's boss is Liu Shang.
Now we have to talk to Liu Shang about everything, in order to get him to cooperate more.
"Since we have something to discuss, let's talk in our office. There are too many people coming and going here, so it's not really a good place to ask questions, is it?"
Hearing that the police had come to question him, Liu Shang couldn't help but feel nervous.
But then I thought again, if there were any evidence of my crime, they wouldn't be questioning me; I would have been taken away long ago.
His tense mood then eased considerably, and he smiled as he spoke to the two police officers.
"Okay, then let's do as Mr. Liu says."
The lead policeman looked around and, realizing it was indeed a bit inappropriate, said to Liu Shang.
Liu Shang took the elevator with two policemen, glancing at Li Jian and Liu Shuang standing in the lobby before leaving.
"What's going on? Why are the police here?"
Seeing the police officers get on the elevator, Li Jian breathed a sigh of relief, but still felt lingering fear as he asked Liu Shang a question.
"You're asking me? How would I know? Get lost!"
Already irritable and agitated, Liu Shuang gritted her teeth and said to Li Jian through gritted teeth as he continued to ramble on in her ear.
Seeing that Liu Shuang was angry, Li Jian didn't dare to linger and quickly walked outside.
Liu Shuang looked in the direction of the elevator; Liu Shang must have seen Li Jian just now.
"snort!"
After leaving the company gate, Li Jian walked up to the security guard, gave a smug snort, and left.
The security guard couldn't help but laugh when he saw Li Jian's bruised eye.
He chuckled to himself: "Even in this pathetic state, he's still putting on airs. He's really asking for a beating!"
Glug glug—
Li Jian rubbed his rumbling belly and looked around. He spotted a noodle shop and went inside.
"A bowl of knife-cut noodles, please, boss."
Li Jian, who ordered a bowl of noodles after entering the store, found a seat by the window and sat down.
He took his phone out of his pocket and dialed Li Yuan's number.
"Brother, this is Xiao Jian. Something's happened to Gu Hai. The entire company is now under the control of a man named Liu Shang. What do we do now?"
Li Jian anxiously relayed the information he had just received to the person on the other end of the phone.
"I know about this. You haven't been going out much lately. Did something happen where you went?"
Hearing that his younger brother had come out safely, Li Yuan on the other end of the phone felt relieved, but then, thinking that Li Jian had been taken inside, he worried that Li Jian might have been beaten by the other party and asked with concern.
"Nothing happened, nothing's wrong."
Hearing her brother ask this question, she recalled Liu Shuang's instructions to her in the office earlier.
He pretended nothing had happened and said this to Li Yuan.
"Is that so? Then you'd better stay put for now."
Li Yuan didn't say much, only giving a word of advice, still worried that Li Jian's reckless personality might cause him trouble.
"Big brother, what are you doing? How did I..."
Li Jian, who hadn't seen Li Yuan for a long time, asked him in confusion.
Before she could finish speaking, Li Yuan had already hung up the phone.
Li Jian didn't pay much attention to it, but he knew in his heart that his brother must have something important to do, otherwise he wouldn't have been avoiding him for so long.
Li Yuan, after hanging up the phone, looked at the disconnected phone on the table.
He never imagined that Liu Shuang could get her own brother to lie to him.
Liu Shang, accompanied by two policemen, took the elevator upstairs to his office. His beautiful secretary served him three cups of tea and then left.
"Please have some, both of you."
Liu Shang placed the tea in front of the two policemen and said.
"Okay, we're here today to investigate something. Recently, someone reported that your company is imprisoning and beating people. We've been sent to investigate. We hope you'll cooperate."
The younger of the two policemen pushed his teacup away and asked Liu Shang.
"How could this have happened?"
Liu Shang, of course, would not admit to anything the police were investigating, and simply stated that he had lost.
