Impartial enforcement of the law? If before coming to Huishui, Dongfang Haoran still had a strong belief in it, now his heart had sunk entirely—how could Old Yu possibly not favor Huishui Enterprise…
“The Beijing Club has provided some evidence suggesting that Huishui Enterprise has many illegal operations and financial loopholes, which is why we’ve launched an investigation. If one stands upright, one needn’t fear a crooked shadow. Once the investigation is clear, I will naturally restore justice to Huishui!”
Old Yu glanced at Tianxuan and Qin Menglu standing behind Xiao Yufan and sighed inwardly. This guy indeed had a strong sense of responsibility, but he was also too fickle—enjoying the blessings of multiple lovers and continuously attracting even more women.
However, Old Yu wasn’t the kind to meddle in young people’s affairs. After all, children have their own destiny, and he wasn’t a stick-in-the-mud. As long as Yu Yihan didn’t suffer any injustice, he had no real concerns.
These words immediately made Dongfang Haoran feel depressed. The investigation hadn’t even started yet, but the accusations were already pointing toward the Beijing Club, promising to restore justice to Huishui. Wasn’t this clearly implying that someone was trying to frame Huishui Enterprise?
Handing the documents taken from Huishui Enterprise to Old Yu, Dongfang Haoran’s lips curled into a cold smile. Even if Old Yu wanted to show favoritism, he still had these evidences in hand—there was no way he’d let his momentum wane.
Seeing these documents, Xiao Yufan’s smile turned slightly playful. If he hadn’t allowed them to be taken out that day, would these documents have ever left Huishui? Naturally, the answer was no.
“How did these documents from Huishui Enterprise end up in the hands of the Beijing Club? I must say, I’m quite surprised. I wonder what methods were used to obtain them—could it be theft?”
Xiao Yufan feigned shock, almost convincing even Yu Yihan. Seeing his smug expression, Tianxuan behind him couldn’t help but laugh out loud. In his opinion, Xiao Yufan’s acting skills alone were worthy of an Oscar.
The word “theft” seemed to pierce Dongfang Haoran’s thoughts. His lips twitched violently, though he still didn’t believe Xiao Yufan had any real evidence…
“If you’ve done nothing wrong, you’ve nothing to fear. Could it be that Huishui really has secrets that others aren’t allowed to investigate?”
Impartial law enforcement? If Dongfang Haoran had still believed in it before the glory of Brilliant Enterprises, now his heart had completely sunk. It was no wonder that Elder Yu was not siding with Brilliant Enterprises…
“The Capital Club provided some evidence, claiming that Brilliant Enterprises has engaged in illegal operations and has economic loopholes. That’s why we intervened in the investigation. If you stand straight, you don’t fear a crooked shadow. Once the investigation is clear, I will naturally restore justice to Brilliant Enterprises!”
Elder Yu glanced at Tianxuan and Qin Menglu standing behind Xiao Yufan and couldn’t help but sigh. This guy was indeed very responsible, but he was also a bit too flirtatious, not only enjoying the company of multiple women but also constantly attracting more.
However, children have their own fortunes, and Elder Yu was not a traditionalist. He naturally didn’t want to meddle in the affairs of the younger generation. As long as Yu Yihan wasn’t wronged, he had no concerns…
This statement immediately made Dongfang Haoran feel frustrated. The investigation hadn’t even started yet, and the blame was already being directed at the Capital Club, with promises to restore justice to Brilliant Enterprises. Wasn’t this clearly implying that someone was secretly framing Brilliant Enterprises?
Handing the documents taken from Brilliant Enterprises to Elder Yu, Dongfang Haoran’s lips curled into a cold smile. Even if Elder Yu was inclined to be biased, he had these pieces of evidence in hand and wouldn’t let himself be at a disadvantage.
Seeing these documents, Xiao Yufan smiled with a hint of amusement. If he hadn’t allowed it that day, would these things have leaked out? The answer was naturally no…
“How did Brilliant Enterprises’ documents end up in the hands of the Capital Club? I’m quite surprised. I wonder what means were used to obtain them. Could it be theft?”
Xiao Yufan put on a surprised expression, almost fooling even Yu Yihan. Seeing his mischievous look, Tianxuan behind him couldn’t help but laugh. In her eyes, Xiao Yufan’s acting skills were worthy of an Oscar.
The word “theft” seemed to hit a nerve with Dongfang Haoran, and his lips twitched slightly. However, he didn’t believe that Xiao Yufan could have any concrete evidence…
“If you haven’t done anything wrong, you don’t fear ghosts knocking at your door. Could it be that Brilliant Enterprises has some shady dealings and doesn’t allow others to investigate?”
With a cold snort, Dongfang Haoran showed no warmth toward Xiao Yufan. His eyes turned slightly icy. The actions of Brilliant Enterprises had already crossed his bottom line. If it weren’t for his knowledge of the methods of the Situ family, he would have already used some underhanded means to make this person disappear.
“Of course, I’m not afraid. I just want to show the chairman something. After seeing it, perhaps you won’t say such things…”
Ignoring Dongfang Haoran’s murderous gaze, Xiao Yufan shrugged helplessly and then subtly gestured to Qin Menglu, who promptly handed something to Dongfang Haoran.
“This is a video I accidentally captured. I wonder if the chairman has any recollection of it. If not, I can remind you…”
Watching Dongfang Haoran’s changing expression, Xiao Yufan’s smile grew even more sinister. The video had been recorded a few days ago, precisely for use today. Even he hadn’t expected it to have such an effect.
“Has the chairman not noticed anything yet? Let me tell you then. The documents stolen from Brilliant Enterprises a few days ago were taken by these two people. As for why they ended up in the hands of the Capital Club, I think you know better than anyone else!”
Xiao Yufan felt a sense of satisfaction. This time, he had completely crushed the morale of the Capital Club. He believed that the Capital Club had now completely lost the ability to compete with Brilliant Enterprises…
“Don’t you know that falsely accusing others is also a crime? What can this video prove?”
Dongfang Haoran couldn’t help but feel a bit guilty. Everyone present turned their gaze toward him. It didn’t take much thought to realize that these so-called documents must have been stolen from Brilliant Enterprises by the Capital Club.
“Elder Yu, I believe you will make the correct judgment. The documents stolen from Brilliant Enterprises appeared in the Capital Club, and I have the video of the theft at Brilliant Enterprises. What does this chain of events imply? Even a fool would understand…”
“Oh? This is getting more interesting. Could it be that the Capital Club is involved in stealing trade secrets…”
As if they had rehearsed it, Elder Yu gave Dongfang Haoran a meaningful look, his words carrying an indescribable authority. At this moment, Dongfang Haoran’s heart sank to the bottom.
“Elder Yu, are you only going to listen to his one-sided account? I…”
“I tend to believe what I see with my own eyes. In that case, the evidence you provided has instead become proof that the Capital Club stole trade secrets. What else do you have to say? Do you think I lack even the most basic ability to discern the truth?”
The atmosphere instantly became very awkward. The scales were slowly tipping in favor of Brilliant Enterprises, and anything Dongfang Haoran said now seemed feeble. He couldn’t understand how his meticulously planned scheme had turned into a laughingstock for others…
A flash of cold killing intent crossed Dongfang Haoran’s face. He was thoroughly enraged. He had never been humiliated like this before—it was a blatant slap in the face. As the true heir of the underground empire, once his anger was provoked, not just anyone could withstand it.
“Since Elder Yu is inclined to be biased, I, Dongfang Haoran, have nothing more to say. However, I hope Brilliant Enterprises can continue to be this arrogant. Let’s hope it doesn’t get completely destroyed one day…”
Even though Dongfang Haoran was now gnashing his teeth, there was nothing he could do. He didn’t want to stay any longer to argue further because he knew that no matter what he said, he couldn’t turn the situation around.
The blatant threat also exposed Dongfang Haoran’s guilt. A wave of murmurs rose in response. Glaring fiercely at Xiao Yufan, Dongfang Haoran made as if to turn and leave…
“If you don’t explain this clearly, I hope you can come with us to the department. Brilliant Enterprises may not pursue the Capital Club for stealing trade secrets, but that doesn’t mean nothing happened…”
Elder Yu’s voice came from behind, causing Dongfang Haoran to pause. His anger had reached its peak, and now he just wanted to vent. Not even Elder Yu, or even a higher authority, could stop him.
“Haoran will definitely come to apologize another day, but not now. And right now, you can’t touch me. On behalf of the entire Capital Club, I swear that it will be a fight to the death with Brilliant Enterprises…”
His arrogant voice spread as Dongfang Haoran walked straight out of Brilliant Enterprises. This time, no one stopped him. Even a cornered dog will jump over a wall, and who knows what a furious Dongfang Haoran might do…
“That’s fine by us. I just want to show the President something. After seeing it, maybe you won’t be so quick to speak…”
Completely ignoring Dongfang Haoran’s murderous glare, Xiao Yufan shrugged helplessly, then subtly signaled to Qin Menglu. She immediately understood and handed something to Dongfang Haoran.
“This is a video I accidentally recorded. I wonder if the President recognizes it. If not, I’d be happy to remind you…”
Watching Dongfang Haoran’s expression shift, Xiao Yufan’s smile became even more mysterious. That video had naturally been recorded a few days ago, specifically for this occasion. Even he hadn’t expected it to have such an effect.
“Still don’t see anything suspicious, President? Then let me explain. These documents stolen from Huishui a few days ago were taken by these two people. As for how they ended up in the Beijing Club’s hands, I think you understand better than anyone else, don’t you?”
Xiao Yufan felt a surge of satisfaction inside. This time, he had completely crushed the Beijing Club’s morale. He was certain that the club now had no capacity left to challenge Huishui.
“Don’t you know that falsely accusing others is also a crime? What can this video possibly prove!”
Dongfang Haoran couldn’t help feeling uneasy. Everyone present had turned their gaze toward him. Even a fool could see that those documents must have been stolen from Huishui by the Beijing Club.
“Director Yu, I believe you’ll make the right judgment. The stolen documents from Huishui appeared in the Beijing Club, and I have a video showing exactly when the theft occurred. When connected, what does this imply? Even a fool would understand.”
“Oh? Now this is getting more interesting. Could it be that the Beijing Club is involved in stealing trade secrets…”
As if on cue, Old Yu cast Dongfang Haoran a meaningful glance, his tone carrying an unmistakable air of authority. At this moment, Dongfang Haoran’s heart sank even further.
“Director Yu, surely you won’t just believe his one-sided account. I…”
“I prefer to see things with my own eyes. If that’s the case, then the evidence you provided has instead become proof of the Beijing Club’s theft of trade secrets. What more do you have to say? Surely you don’t think I lack even basic judgment?”
The atmosphere grew awkward. The balance had clearly tilted toward Huishui Enterprise. Anything Dongfang Haoran said now sounded weak and unconvincing. He couldn’t understand how his carefully laid plans had become a laughingstock.
A glint of icy murder flashed across his face. Dongfang Haoran was truly enraged. He had never endured such humiliation—it was a blatant slap in the face. As the true prince of the underground empire, when he flew into a rage, not everyone could withstand the consequences.
“If Director Yu insists on favoring them, Dongfang Haoran has nothing more to say. But I hope Huishui can keep up this arrogance—just don’t let the day come when you’re completely destroyed…”
Despite his fury, Dongfang Haoran could do nothing. He no longer wished to stay and argue pointlessly, because he knew that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reverse the situation.
This blatant threat exposed Dongfang Haoran’s panic. Murmurs of disapproval rose from the crowd. Shooting Xiao Yufan a fierce glare, Dongfang Haoran turned to leave…
“If you don’t clarify everything clearly, I still hope you’ll come down to the ministry for questioning. Huishui Enterprise’s decision not to pursue the Beijing Club for stealing trade secrets doesn’t mean nothing has happened…”
Old Yu’s voice came from behind, causing Dongfang Haoran to pause momentarily. His anger had reached its peak, and he was desperate to vent his rage. Forget Old Yu—no one, not even the Heavenly King himself, could stop him now.
“Hao Ran will certainly come to apologize in person another day, but not today. Right now, you still don’t have the power to touch me. On behalf of the entire Beijing Club, I swear that between us and Huishui, it won’t end until one side is utterly destroyed…”
His arrogant declaration echoed through the room as Dongfang Haoran strode directly out of Huishui. This time, no one tried to stop him. After all, even a cornered dog might jump over a wall—no one could predict what Dongfang Haoran might do in his rage…
