Chapter 682: Zhao Licheng Has Been Arrested

Su Yang was still driving when he heard Chu Xia’s news and almost slammed on the brakes to stop the car in the middle of the road.

Thankfully, at that crucial moment, his [Tank Driving Ability] helped him avoid this mistake. However, he still slowly leaned to the side of the road as he hurriedly asked, “What happened? Why has he been taken away?”

Chu Xia whispered, “I don’t know that either. The police only said that they were bringing Brother Zhao in to cooperate with an investigation.”

Su Yang stopped the car by the side of the road and turned on the emergency signal in his car. Then, he said to Chu Xia, “It’s fine, stay calm. Right now, could you head over and look for Mr. Fang from the film company opposite where you’re at and ask him to appease the employees for the time being. I’ll be right there.”

Chu Xia quickly said, “Okay. I’ll head over there right away.”

With that, the call ended.

Su Yang was expressionless as he listened to the “Du… Du… Du… ” tone.

Then, he picked up his phone and called Zhao Licheng. However, as expected, the call did not go through.

After that, Su Yang said to Little Deeny, “Little Deeny, have a think and see if there’s anything that Zhao Licheng shouldn’t have investigated?”

A moment later, Little Deeny said, “Master, Zhao Licheng’s legal identity has been resolved a while ago. So, he’s based in your hometown which is the same as the others as well.

“Normally speaking, unless the police are suspicious about his background, they shouldn’t be able to find anything against him.

“If it’s about something else… It would probably be how he is too close to his wife, which would arouse someone’s suspicion if they were paying attention, so there might be a problem there. However, I doubt that it will get exposed anytime soon.”

Su Yang nodded silently. ‘It seems like there’s still some time for me to recover.

‘However, I’ve still got to find out why Zhao Licheng has been taken away by the police.’

At that thought, Su Yang told Little Deeny, “Get Zhao Licheng’s wife on the phone for me.”

Little Deeny replied, “Understood.”

The call went through quickly and Zhao Licheng’s wife’s voice came from the other end. “Hello? Is this Mr. Su?”

Su Yang said in a low voice, “Yes, it’s me. Now, I’ll ask the questions and you answer then.”

Hearing how serious Su Yang was, Zhao Licheng’s wife did not dare to say anything. She quickly replied, “Okay.”

Su Yang then said, “Zhao Licheng was taken away by the police. Do you know why?”

Zhao Licheng’s wife’s voice was obviously trembling. “What? Licheng has been arrested?”

Su Yang first let out a hum through his nose before he said, “Don’t panic. Tell me what’s happened.”

Mrs. Zhao Licheng stammered as she said, “I… I… I don’t know…”

Just when Su Yang thought that Zhao Licheng’s wife did not have any leads, she suddenly added, “But, something happened last night, but I’m not sure if it’s related to why he’s been arrested.

“Yesterday, after work, Licheng came to my company to pick me up. In the end, he unexpectedly bumped into Cao Qiguang. Coincidentally, he saw that Cao Qiguang was pestering me, so he and Cao Qiguang got into an argument. Later on, the two of them started fighting, which ended with both of them bleeding.

“Then I pulled them apart and left with Licheng, where Cao Qiguang then scolded us from behind, saying that we were adulterers and that he would not let us off.

“Perhaps… This is the reason?”

Su Yang frowned. “Why didn’t you tell me this earlier?”

Zhao Licheng’s wife said, “Licheng was the one who said not to tell you. He said that although he’s your subordinate, instead of contributing to your cause, he’s ended up causing a lot of trouble. So. he didn’t want to bother you with such a small matter.”

Su Yang did not comment much on Zhao Licheng’s thoughts. He only asked Zhao Licheng’s wife a few more questions before hanging up.

After hanging up, Su Yang called Mr. Jia and asked him to find out more about Zhao Licheng incident.

Su Yang had already asked Zhao Licheng’s wife about the location of the conflict last night and found that it happened in Baoshan District. ‘If Cao Qiguang was really the one who reported this case, then the person who’s handling the case should be the person in charge of Baoshan District. I’ll be able to find out a clear answer about this if I ask about it when the time comes.’

After a while, Mr. Jia called back and said that Zhao Licheng had indeed been brought to the police station in Baoshan District, but he did not exactly know on what charges Zhao Licheng was arrested on.

After that, Su Yang asked Mr. Jia to head down to the police station as a lawyer to ask about the situation. ‘It would be best if he could find out the reason and solve the problem.’

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang did not wait for the news. Instead, he drove back to the office.

After Su Yang parked his car, he went to the office building. Then, when the elevator doors opened, Su Yang saw the receptionist looking in the direction of the E-Commerce company.

Hence, Su Yang knocked on the front desk and asked, “What are you staring at?”

The receptionist instantly came back to her senses and said in surprise, “Mr. Su, you’re here.”

Su Yang nodded. “How’s the company doing?”

The receptionist said in a low voice, “It’s not very good, everyone’s panicking. Although Mr. Fang did come here to appease them, but… Um… How do I say this?”

She took a few glances at Su Yang to make sure that he would not get angry because of what she was going to say. Then, she whispered, “But, Mr. Fang doesn’t seem to have any experience dealing with such matters and only knows how to console everyone. So, no one’s really buying it.”

Su Yang nodded and said, “Carry on with your work.” Then, he headed to his E-Commerce office.

When he arrived there, the company was filled with noisy whispers. Mr. Fang from the film and television company was comforting everyone in the work area while Chu Xia stood anxiously by the side.

Then, Su Yang walked over and coughed heavily.

His cough drew everyone’s attention to him, causing the commotion within the company to slowly die down until it eventually disappeared without a trace.

Su Yang was pretty satisfied with his reputation in the company when he saw this. After that, he scanned the entire place before activating his [Verbal Cannon] ability. “Why the panic? I’m still here”

His words were powerful and resonating and there seemed to be a special charm to them that made the employees feel at ease.

Su Yang then continued, “I’ve looked into Mr. Zhao’s situation. He saw injustice last night and saved a damsel in distress. Therefore, the person in charge of this case has invited him over to assist in the investigation. So, it’s no big deal and has nothing to do with the company, don’t worry.”

After Su Yang finished speaking, the crowd started to chatter again.

This time, Su Yang did not stop them. Instead, he gave them more time to chat.

After a full five minutes, some people realized that Su Yang was still standing there and stopped talking.

After one person stopped, the others gradually followed as well.

Soon, the entire company fell silent once again.

When Su Yang saw this, he said, “Alright. Since everyone is done discussing, then let’s get back to work. If there are any further issues, you may look for Mr. Qi first.”

Mr. Qi was one of the most experienced directors in Su Yang’s company and was quite capable. Furthermore, he was a 1-star talent according to the system.

After that, Su Yang brought Mr. Fang and Chu Xia to his office.

After exchanging a few more words with Mr. Fang and asking about the progress of the special effects for “Wandering Planet”, Su Yang asked him to return to the film company.

After he left, Chu Xia held her hands in front of her chest and looked at Su Yang with admiration. “Su Yang, you look so cool right now! Just a few sentences was all it took to make everyone relax. Mr. Fang and I have been trying to explain for hours but to no avail.”

Su Yang smiled and said, “Of course. Don’t you know who I am?”

Suddenly, his phone rang, which Su Yang then picked up without waiting for Little Deeny’s reminder.

At first, Su Yang thought that there was news from Mr. Jia, but… It was not.

Instead, A familiar voice came through the phone. It was Mr. Shen from the bank.

Mr. Shen’s voice sounded very flattering. He smiled obsequiously at Su Yang and said, “Mr. Su, it’s Mr. Shen. I’ve been trying to call you a few times before, but you didn’t answer. I’ve finally got through this time.”

‘Mr. Shen from the bank?

‘I remember this guy. He’s the manager of the bank’s credit department. He wasn’t going to approve my loan initially, but later on, I made use of his bragging personality and managed to have the money borrowed using [Absolute Verbal Contract].

‘After that, when the Fengs were promoting negative news about me, he tried to kick me when I was down, but I managed to refute him immediately.

‘Later on, he tried calling me, but I didn’t answer.

‘Yet, because I was so worked up, I ended up answering his phone call.’

At that thought, Su Yang replied unhappily, “Is something the matter? The repayment of my loan is only going to expire in May. Why are you rushing me again?”

After saying that, Su Yang was about to hang up, but Mr. Shen quickly said, “No, no, no, Mr. Su. I’m not calling you about the loan. I just want to ask if your money in the bank can be used as a structural deposit. This way, you will receive even more benefits.”

‘Structural my *ss!’

Su Yang completely ignored Mr. Shen’s words and hung up.

‘I can’t be bothered with such petty people who easily shift according to the flow.’

After hanging up the phone, Su Yang added Mr. Shen’s number to the blacklist. It was only when he did that that Su Yang realized. ‘Mr. Shen’s changed his number, No wonder I picked up the call without looking at it properly.

‘However, I can’t say that Mr. Shen’s call was completely useless. At the very least, he reminded me that I have savings in my bank…’

Su Yang pondered for a moment. ‘This won’t do! It seems like I have to take everything away! Structural savings? I’ll make sure you have no savings!’

Just as Su Yang was thinking that, his phone rang again.

Su Yang picked up his phone to have a look and realized that it was from Mr. Jia.

‘Seems like there’s some results to the matter now.’

Hence, Su Yang answered the phone call and asked, “Hello? Mr. Jia? What’s the situation?”

On the other end, Mr. Jia’s voice could be heard. “Mr. Su, things don’t seem very optimistic. The other party has also sent a professional lawyer and even brought along evidence.”

Su Yang asked, “Is it because of the fight?”

Mr. Jia said, “Yes, that’s right. The other party has filed a case in Baoshan District and the police have received a surveillance tape, a medical report and a series of other pieces of evidence. They’re going to sue Mr. Zhao for intentional injury.

“Also, I’ve asked two close friends in the police station and they said that the other party has sent someone to pressure them.

“After all, he’s a big boss of a listed company and he knows quite a few people within the government. Therefore, I can’t use my connections to solve the problem, everything has to be done per normal procedures.”
