Chapter 1113: Make Him Kneel and Speak to Me
by xennovelWatching Xu Shaochen take out his phone.
The four men exchanged glances, sweat covering their faces, looking anxious.
“Thud!”
Finally, the middle-aged man who had stepped forward couldn’t hold it any longer and knelt down.
“Chairman Xu, I was wrong. I admit it. Greed blinded me. I should not have done this. I report that Manager Chen and the other three misappropriated public funds to buy cars.”
The middle-aged man not only confessed but also betrayed everyone to gain favor.
Manager Chen and the others wanted to kill him upon hearing this but had no room to argue.
“Thud!” “Thud!” “Thud!”
Suddenly, the sound of knees hitting the ground echoed, as the office became a sea of kneeling.
“Chairman Xu, I was wrong. I’ll never dare again. Please spare my life.”
“I was wrong. I really know I shouldn’t have misappropriated public funds—”
At this point, with no way to argue, they could only plead for forgiveness.
“Good, very good, everything’s just great.”
Watching this, Xu Shaochen laughed in anger.
Before coming, he thought the employees stationed permanently in the impoverished county lived poorly.
Yet seeing this, he realized he underestimated their ambition to accumulate wealth.
Seeing Xu Shaochen laugh, Manager Chen and the others felt even more panicked.
“Chairman Xu, even though we took money, the work was done well. We did not create substandard projects.”
Manager Chen talked about his ‘achievements’ to Xu Shaochen.
“Rest assured I am a law-abiding citizen. I won’t do anything to you.” Xu Shaochen said calmly, “Long Yi, call the police and hand them over. Also, let the company lawyers sue them for embezzlement and illegal use of funds.”
Legally, the funds misappropriated by Manager Chen and the others were considered a huge amount.
Combined with the fact that they misused charity funds, the social impact was extremely bad. Plus, Xu Shaochen’s influence and the company’s strong legal team.
If all goes as expected, these five people will face the harshest sentences.
Hearing this, Manager Chen and the other four were devastated and panic-stricken.
“Chairman Xu, spare us! You can’t do this, you can’t!”
“Chairman Xu, I beg you, let me go. I’ll do anything for you.”
“I’ll even be your dog…”
The five cried loudly, continuously begging Xu Shaochen for mercy.
“Be my dog?” Xu Shaochen laughed sarcastically, “Do you even qualify? Many want to be my dog. What are you compared to them?”
“Xu Shaochen! I’ve done so much for Yunquan County. I’ve completed everything the company assigned. I just took some money, yet you treat me like this!”
Manager Chen stood up, yelling at Xu Shaochen with bloodshot eyes, clearly at his wits’ end.
“Make him kneel and speak to me.”
Xu Shaochen calmly said.
“Bang!”
Long Er kicked the back of Manager Chen’s knee.
“Thud!”
Manager Chen fell heavily to the ground, his face twisting in pain from the knee impact.
“Tell me, is that some small amount of money? If it were as small as you say, I would have turned a blind eye. But what you took? That’s hardly ‘small.'”
Xu Shaochen’s initially calm tone turned into a roar.
As he said, if Manager Chen had taken just a small amount, he wouldn’t have made a fuss.
The saying ‘clear water has no fish’ is something he understood.
In the company, even the loyal employees used their positions to gain money.
But those people knew their limits, worked hard, and were capable. Xu Shaochen let it be, considering it extra benefits.
But what is Manager Chen? Just a minor official, taking money excessively beyond limits. That’s intolerable to Xu Shaochen.
Manager Chen’s face turned pale, feeling guilty, yet stubbornly said, “You have so much money…”
“Bang!”
Before finishing, Xu Shaochen kicked him to the ground. “My wealth is none of your business! Just because I’m rich doesn’t mean you get to go wild with public funds!”
“Boss, the police are on their way.”
Long Yi hung up the phone and informed Xu Shaochen.
The bodyguard of Xu Shaochen calling the police surely caught Yunquan County Police’s full attention.
Especially knowing charity funds for Yunquan County were embezzled, they prioritized it.
Hearing Long Yi, Manager Chen and the other four were terrified.
Manager Chen tried to run out of the office without a word.
“Bang!”
Long Er stepped forward, blocking and kicking him back.
“Ah! Ugh—”
Manager Chen screamed, spat blood, breaking the coffee table, rolling on the ground in pain.
The other four trembled at this, giving up thoughts of escape.
“Tap tap tap tap…”
In under 10 minutes, with rapid, powerful footsteps, over ten police officers walked in.
“Mr. Xu, I’m Liu Han from Yunquan County Bureau.”
A leading officer greeted Xu Shaochen.
“Hi, Director Liu, just take these guys away, sorry for the scene. I didn’t expect such pests in my company.”
Xu Shaochen shook hands with Liu Han, pointing at Manager Chen and the others.
“Mr. Xu, no worries. We appreciate your help to Yunquan County. As for these pests, they exist everywhere.”
While speaking, Liu Han waved his hand, and the police behind him swiftly arrested Manager Chen and the others.
“That guy named Xu, I won’t let you off even as a ghost!”
Manager Chen glared venomously at Xu Shaochen, squeezing out this threat.
“Take them all for investigation.”
Liu Han frowned and ordered his men to escort Manager Chen and the five.
“No! I don’t want to go to jail, Chairman Xu. I was wrong. Please spare me!”
“Chairman Xu, spare us, please. I won’t dare again. I don’t want to go to jail…”
Aside from Manager Chen, the other four cried miserably, wiping tears and nose.
“When you lavishly spent the charity funds I allocated, you should have mentally prepared for this.”
Xu Shaochen said expressionlessly.
