Chapter 142: Chapter 142: One Million?

Manager Feng moved back in fear, as he turned his head to look at the youth who could not raise his head up.

"What have you done?" He asked with an exasperated sigh.

"It is simple, I will help you analyze it, you hired a thief without informing me, then, the thief went ahead to steal from the company, this is basically what happened," Li Qiang explained with a smile, but everyone present in the room knew how deadly that smile was.

"President, I am truly sorry, I had no idea he would end up stealing, I."

"Of course you would not know that he would steal, after all, you do not make proper investigation before you end up hiring someone," Li Qiang interrupted immediately.

Manager Feng clamped his mouth shut immediately. It was true. He did not bother to make proper investigation, and why was that? Because He Wen was his relative.

"I apologize on his behalf, President, the thing is that he is my sister’s son, and she did not want her son to remain idle; thus, she could only beg me to give him a job," Manager Feng confessed.

"Is that so? And when did my company turn to a place which houses relatives, who surprisingly are thieves?" Li Qiang asked with a sarcastic smile.

Manager Feng was at a loss of words. He had no idea what he was to say. He knew that his job is on the rocks, and he could end up losing it.

When he thought about that, he turned to glare at the person who was responsible for it.

"Why the butt did you steal from the company?" He thundered.

He did not care if he embarrassed him, but he just needed to know what the reason was.

His salary was enough to feed both he and his mother. Then why did he have to steal?

"I am sorry for stealing Uncle, I truly regret it, but I was desperate," He Wen fell to his knees immediately, tears escaping from his eyes as his lips quivered slightly.

Li Qiang waved his hands slightly, dismissing the others. They could go back to their duties.

They were all relieved knowing that they were safe from Li Qiang’s wrath.

"Speak!" Li Qiang ordered. He was also curious about the reason for his actions.

"I actually owe a large sum to loan sharks, I promise that it was just a little amount I borrowed from them, but they have such a crazy interest rate, and I fell into the trap they laid for me," He Wen spoke up with fervency.

He thought that, perhaps, if he confessed, then Li Qiang might let him go.

"How much did you borrow from the loan sharks, and how much did it sum up to?" Manager Feng asked while he squinted his eyes at him.

He suddenly had a bad feeling about what his nephew had done seeing how his nephew tried to avert his gaze from him.

"Answer me! How much did you borrow?" He yelled, he had to give Li Qiang a reasonable answer today, or he might not know how he ended up dying.

"One million yuan," He Wen replied in a lowered voice.

Manager Feng sucked in cold air as his heart shook heavily while staring at his nephew.

Li Qiang and Gao Yang raised their eyebrows immediately. One million yuan was such a considerable sum of money, and they wondered what he must have done with the money.

They continued to watch as he questioned him. They were not going to interfere in the questioning. They only needed answers since the theft was associated with the company.

"What did you use such a large sum to do?" Manager Feng questioned. He seemed to have grown old in just a few minutes, and his eyes lacked the brightness it usually had.

"I wanted to get my girlfriend the bag and ring she wanted, if I did not, she would have broken up with me," he replied, his head lowered in shame.

Now that he thought about it, it was such a stupid move on his part.

Gao Yang was taken aback by the reason for his actions, and he felt that he was idiotic.

"Are you listening to yourself? What did you use your brains to study while in school? Are you that stupid to listen to your girlfriend’s stupid demands?" Manager Feng berated him immediately.

He was tempted to beat him up, but he could not do it. It was against the company’s rule to raise one’s hands to another, and no matter what, he was still an employee.

"How much did you take from the company?" It was then Manager Feng realized he did not really know how much was stolen.

"Ten million yuan," he replied, still on his knees, unable to raise his head to look at his uncle, as he figured he must be thoroughly disappointed in him.

Manager Feng staggered backwards, and he would have fallen if it were not for the quick reflexes of Gao Yang.

"I cannot help you this time around," Manager Feng shook his head as he whispered.

Li Qiang only watched. He was going to be the judge of the matter.

"Uncle, you have to help me, I cannot go to jail, mom will be disappointed and ashamed of me," He Wen crawled to Manager Feng who stared at him with disgust.

"I am sorry, but I am not the right person to help you, I am also in an awkward position as I have helped you, you can only beg the President, why did you not think of your mom when you borrowed?" Manager Feng asked with closed eyes.

He Wen slumped to the floor. He knew it was all over, he had brought this upon himself, and have implicated his uncle at the same time.

There was no way his uncle would forgive him, if his uncle cannot forgive him, then there was no way Li Qiang would.

He looked towards Li Qiang who had his eyes fixed on him without saying anything, but he seemed to have figured out what his fate was.
