Chapter 255: Under Arrest ( 1 )

Hearing the question, Wei Zheming chuckled and said, "Just as you predicted. After the news of Lin Hao’s detainment broke, the stock market showed a drop in the Lin Group’s shares this morning. Based on the trend, their stock price will fall by at least 20.6% by 10 a.m."

Just as he finished speaking, his phone rang. Taking it out, he glanced at the caller ID and said, "It’s Mr. Han."

When Feng Zhexuan heard the name, he raised an eyebrow and said, "I didn’t expect him to contact you first. Weren’t he and Chairman Lin schoolmates?"

"He is a businessman," Wei Zheming replied with a smile.

Feng Zhexuan gestured for him to answer the call and said, "Let’s see what he wants."

Wei Zheming nodded, answered the call, started recording, and put it on loudspeaker.

"Hello, Mr. Han," he said politely.

As soon as he spoke, Mr. Han’s angry voice erupted from the phone, "Assistant Wei, I saw the news. Was this your doing?"

"Mr. Han, I don’t know what you are talking about," Wei Zheming replied calmly.

"Don’t play dumb! Do you think the shareholders will agree to the acquisition just because of this?" Mr. Han demanded.

Wei Zheming chuckled when he heard his words and said, "Mr. Han, I think you have misunderstood me. I did contact you regarding the acquisition, but what happened to Mr. Lin has nothing to do with me."

"I never told him to beat his wife until she had to be hospitalized. Everything he did was his own doing. As an adult and law-abiding citizen, he should take responsibility for his actions."

"Wei Zheming, do you think everyone is a fool?! The Feng Group is clearly the biggest beneficiary of Lin Hao’s downfall. You must be behind this!" Mr. Han yelled angrily.

"Mr. Han, do you have evidence? If not, your accusations amount to slander, and I can sue you for defamation," Wei Zheming said coldly.

"You—"

Before Mr. Han could finish his words, Wei Zheming cut him off, "Mr. Han, since you have nothing else to say, I will end the call. When you have thought it through, feel free to contact me again. Have a good day."

As soon as he finished his words, he hung up the call and turned to his friend.

"It seems the old man isn’t as smart as I thought. He knows the longer they delay cooperation, the greater their losses, yet he is wasting time demanding explanations," he said with a sigh.

Feng Zhexuan laughed and said, "It’s understandable. He and Chairman Lin have been friends since their school days."

Leaning back in his chair, he added with a smile, "He reminds me of you. You also chose me over your bright future as an international athlete when I asked you to come back with me."

Wei Zheming rolled his eyes when he heard this and said, "If Grandpa hadn’t asked me to protect you, do you think I would have settled for your meager salary?"

Feng Zhexuan raised an eyebrow and asked, "Zheming, do you realize your meager salary is higher than the directors’?"

"But my workload is also several times theirs. Compared to my work load, my salary is meager," Wei Zheming replied nonchalantly.

Sensing his friend’s complaints, Feng Zhexuan thought for a moment and said, "I will double your year-end bonus."

The moment he heard this, Wei Zheming said, "Instead of that, I would prefer a month of paid vacation. Oh, and I will hire two more female bodyguards for your wife."

"I think Xiao Wu is sufficient. My wife doesn’t want too many people following her," Feng Zhexuan replied without hesitation.

"Xiao Wu isn’t a robot. She needs rest. These two bodyguards can take turns so she can have one or two days off."

Hearing this, Feng Zhexuan narrowed his eyes and said suspiciously, "It seems you are unusually considerate of your junior sister."

"She is my junior sister. It’s my duty to take care of her," Wei Zheming said without changing his expressions.

Although Feng Zhexuan suspected his friend had other intentions toward Xiao Wu, he couldn’t find proof. Wei Zheming remained as calm as ever. Because he would know his friend’s plan sooner or later, he didn’t insist and dropped this topic.

After finishing their personal discussion, Wei Zheming began reviewing Feng Zhexuan’s schedule for the day. Due to several ongoing projects, the schedule was packed with meetings and even lunch appointments.

Thinking of this, Feng Zhexuan said, "Next time, you can refuse all lunch appointments. My wife will send lunch over every day, so I don’t have time to attend any lunch appointments."

When Wei Zheming heard this, he nodded, wrote something in his notebook, and said, "Okay."

Meanwhile, at the Yan Corporation, Yan Liguang sat in his office in silence. His face pale as he stared at the screen displaying the plummeting stock prices of the Lin Group in a daze.

When the clock struck 10 a.m., he looked at the number displayed on the screen and muttered in a low voice, "It’s over. I’m doomed."

The Lin Group’s share price dropped by 23.7%, setting a new record low. With the current situation of the Lin Group, it is impossible for him to earn back the money he spent on the stocks.

At this moment, he already knew that his only option was to escape to another country. Otherwise, he would end up in jail.

When this thought appeared in his mind, he quickly made a phone call. But before he could press the dial button, the door swung open, and several police officers entered the room.

Startled by their sudden entrance, Yan Liguang stood up and asked unhappily, "Who let you in?"

One of the officers pulled a document from his pocket, held it up, and announced, "Yan Liguang, you are under arrest. Please come with us to the police station for questioning."

Reaching for the document, Yan Liguang asked, "Arrest? What for? I have done nothing illegal!"
