Impartial enforcement of the law? If before coming to Huīhuáng (Glory), Dongfang Haoran still believed in it strongly, now his heart had sunk entirely—how could Old Master Yu possibly not favor Huīhuáng Enterprise?
“The Beijing Club has provided some evidence suggesting that Huīhuáng has many illegal operations and financial loopholes, which is why we’ve decided to investigate. If one is upright, one has nothing to fear from a crooked shadow. Once the investigation is complete, I will naturally clear Huīhuáng’s name.”
Old Master Yu glanced at Tianxuan and Qin Menglu, who were standing behind Xiao Yufan. He couldn’t help but sigh inwardly. This young man indeed had a strong sense of responsibility, but he was also a bit too womanizing—not only enjoying the blessings of multiple lovers, but constantly attracting even more women.
However, Old Master Yu was not a stickler for old-fashioned ideas. He believed that each generation had its own destiny and didn’t want to meddle in the affairs of the younger generation. As long as Yihan wasn’t wronged, he had no real concerns.
This remark immediately made Dongfang Haoran feel gloomy. The investigation hadn’t even started yet, but the focus was already shifting toward the Beijing Club, promising to clear Huīhuáng’s name. Wasn’t this clearly implying that someone was trying to frame Huīhuáng?
He handed the documents taken from Huīhuáng Enterprise to Old Master Yu. Dongfang Haoran’s lips curled into a cold smile. Even if Old Master Yu wanted to show favoritism, he still had these evidences in hand—there was no way he’d allow himself to be overshadowed.
Seeing these documents, Xiao Yufan smiled with a hint of amusement. If he hadn’t deliberately allowed it that day, would these documents have ever leaked out? The answer was obviously no.
“How did these documents from my Huīhuáng Enterprise end up in the hands of the Beijing Club? I’m quite surprised. I wonder what methods were used to obtain them—could it be that they were stolen?”
Xiao Yufan feigned shock, almost convincing even Yihan. Seeing his smug expression, Tianxuan behind him couldn’t help but burst into laughter. In his eyes, Xiao Yufan’s acting skills were more than enough to win an Oscar.
The word “stolen” seemed to pierce Dongfang Haoran’s thoughts. His lips twitched violently, though he didn’t believe Xiao Yufan had really caught him in anything.
“If you haven’t done anything wrong, you have nothing to fear. Could it be that Huīhuáng really has something to hide, and cannot allow others to take a look?”
He snorted coldly, unimpressed by Xiao Yufan. His gaze turned slightly colder. Huīhuáng’s actions had already crossed his bottom line. If it weren’t for knowing the ruthless methods of the Situ family, he would have already secretly taken action to eliminate this person entirely.
“That’s fine, I’m not afraid either. I just want to show the President something. After seeing it, maybe you won’t speak so confidently anymore.”
Unfazed by 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 happened to shoot by chance. I wonder if the President remembers it. If you don’t, I’d be happy to remind you.”
Watching Dongfang Haoran’s expression change, Xiao Yufan’s smile became even more enigmatic. 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 recognize anything suspicious? Let me explain then. These two people stole the documents that Huīhuáng recently lost. As for why they ended up in the Beijing Club’s hands, I think you know better than anyone else.”
Xiao Yufan felt a surge of satisfaction inside. This move had completely crushed the Beijing Club’s morale. He was certain that at this moment, the Beijing Club had completely lost the ability to challenge Huīhuáng.
“Don’t you know that falsely accusing others is also a crime? What can this video possibly prove?”
Dongfang Haoran couldn’t help but feel uneasy. Everyone present had turned their gaze toward him. Even without thinking, it was obvious that those documents must have been stolen from Huīhuáng by the Beijing Club.
“Master Yu, I believe you will make the right judgment. The stolen documents from Huīhuáng appeared in the Beijing Club, and I have a video showing the theft. When connected, what does this imply? Even a fool would understand.”
“Oh? This is indeed more interesting. Could it be that the Beijing Club is also involved in stealing trade secrets?”
As if they had conspired together, Old Master Yu cast Dongfang Haoran a meaningful look, his tone carrying an unmistakable air of authority. At this moment, Dongfang Haoran’s heart sank to the depths of despair.
“Will Master Yu really just believe his one-sided account? I—”
“I prefer to believe in what I see with my own eyes. In that case, the evidence you provided has instead become proof that the Beijing Club stole trade secrets. Do you have anything else to say? Surely you don’t think I lack even this basic ability to judge?”
The atmosphere became extremely awkward. The balance had clearly shifted toward Huīhuáng. Whatever Dongfang Haoran said now sounded hollow and unconvincing. He couldn’t understand how his carefully laid plans had become a laughingstock for others.
A flash of cold murderous intent flickered across his face. Dongfang Haoran had been completely enraged. How could he endure such humiliation? This was a slap in the face. As the true prince of the underground kingdom, when he flew into a rage, few could withstand the consequences.
“If Master Yu insists on favoring them, Dongfang Haoran has nothing more to say. But I hope Huīhuáng can maintain this arrogance for a long time—just don’t end up completely destroyed one day.”
Even though Dongfang Haoran was furious, there was nothing he could do. He no longer wanted to stay and argue pointlessly, because he understood that no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t reverse the situation.
This blatant threat exposed Dongfang Haoran’s inner panic. Murmurs of disapproval rippled through the room. Shooting Xiao Yufan a fierce glare, Dongfang Haoran turned as if to leave.
“If you don’t clarify everything properly, I hope you will still be willing to come down to the Ministry for questioning. Huīhuáng’s decision not to pursue the Beijing Club for stealing trade secrets doesn’t mean nothing has happened.”
Old Master Yu’s voice came from behind, causing Dongfang Haoran to hesitate momentarily. His rage had reached its peak, and all he wanted now was to vent his fury. Forget Old Master Yu—no one, not even the Heavenly King himself, could stop him now.
“Hao Ran will definitely 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 Huīhuáng, this feud will end only with mutual destruction.”
With these arrogant words echoing in the room, Dongfang Haoran strode directly out of Huīhuáng. This time, no one tried to stop him. After all, even a cornered dog might leap over a wall. Heaven only knew what Dongfang Haoran might do in his rage.
