Chapter 298: Caught in the Act

“Soliciting bribes?”

The general manager, a lean sharp man wearing glasses, clearly paused, putting down his pen. “What soliciting bribes?”

Lu Xin’s expression grew more serious. “Director, I’m formally reporting Zhao Hui, your company’s quality inspection supervisor. He’s soliciting bribes from the leader of the convoy contracted with your company. In fact, this has happened many times, severely damaging your company’s interests and reputation. Now, unrepentant, he’s once again blatantly bullying Boss Gao, committing a serious offense!”

“…He’s in the office downstairs right now.”

…

Such a serious expression momentarily stunned the general manager.

Then he quickly adjusted his expression, looked Lu Xin up and down, and said, “Slow down… Who are you?”

“I’m someone who couldn’t stand by and watch this happen.”

Lu Xin frowned slightly. “What’s important is, are you going to handle this or not?”

Seeing Lu Xin’s consistently grave expression, the director’s face changed slightly, seemingly wondering about this person’s background. Since it happened so suddenly, he didn’t show any contempt. He lifted his tea mug, took a sip, and smiled at Lu Xin. “Young man, I hope you can reveal your identity. Supervisor Zhao from our company is a respectable person. To make such claims, you need evidence…”

As he spoke, he glanced at the phone on the nearby table, as if considering whether to make a call.

“Evidence…”

Hearing his words, Lu Xin pondered for a moment, then nodded. “You have a point…”

Saying this, he extended his hand towards the director.

The general manager clearly didn’t understand, looking at Lu Xin’s outstretched hand. “You mean…”

Lu Xin said, “I’ll take you to see the evidence.”

As he spoke, his outstretched hand pressed down, proactively grabbing the general manager’s hand.

Then, he turned and walked out.

Being dragged like this, the director panicked. “What are you doing? Why are you grabbing my hand?”

He subconsciously tried to struggle, but unexpectedly, after being grabbed by Lu Xin, his body involuntarily stood up, stumbling along behind. It didn’t look like he was being pulled; it seemed more like he was following willingly, just somewhat uncoordinatedly behind Lu Xin.

As a Spider-type, the greatest strength lies in controlling one’s own body.

Moreover, this control could actually extend to others’ bodies upon contact.

That’s why Sister could distort someone’s body when she touched them.

Lu Xin’s ability certainly wasn’t as strong as Sister’s, but when he started imitating her ability, he could barely manage it. Now, holding the director’s hand, he could make the man follow him irresistibly. That was the reason.

“Hey, hey, let go, let go…”

“Who on earth are you? Where are you taking me?”

“Security, security…”

…

The director, flustered, his body involuntarily pulled along by Lu Xin, shouted in panic.

If it were Sister, she probably could have stopped him from even shouting.

But Lu Xin felt it didn’t matter if he shouted.

He just pulled the director straight out of the office and headed towards the stairs. The director’s loud cries immediately attracted many people. They were initially alarmed, then found it strange. If the general manager were being dragged on the ground, they probably would have swarmed over already. But in their eyes, the general manager was talking while cooperating very well, following behind the other person.

They looked like they were holding hands, appearing quite friendly.

This left people confused, just watching them uncertainly.

“What are you all standing there for? Come quickly…”

“Security, security, quickly throw this person out…”

The general manager shouted louder and louder, finally alerting more and more people, who hurried over.

But by this time, Lu Xin had already reached the third floor, in front of an office marked “Quality Inspection Supervisor.”

Seeing more and more people rushing over from the corridor nearby, including several guards carrying rubber batons, Lu Xin felt slightly satisfied. He nodded gently towards the gathering crowd and towards the director he had pulled downstairs.

Then, he directly twisted the doorknob and walked in.

The door had been bolted from the inside, but Lu Xin pushed it open without any resistance.

Inside the office, Quality Inspection Supervisor Zhao Hui was staring gloomily at Boss Gao Ting’s face, as if trying to read something from it. Twisted blue veins pulsed like earthworms on his cheeks, making him look exceptionally furious.

Boss Gao Ting, at this moment, seemed resigned, head lowered, apparently ready, like many times before, to let this person do whatever he wanted to her.

Of course, only she understood she was nervously listening to every word he said.

She also wanted to figure out if this man was truly related to the trouble the convoy encountered.

“You…”

But Zhao Hui stared fixedly at Gao Ting. Even though boundless fury surged within him and many words rushed to his lips, he ultimately didn’t say them. He just pointed fiercely at Gao Ting with his hand, suppressing his anger. “Don’t think you’re smart, very pleased with yourself…”

“Trash like you is like a dog in my eyes, worthless whether alive or dead!”

…

After speaking, he turned around, about to leave indignantly.

Just then, some noise came from outside the door, making him subconsciously look.

And at that exact moment, in the seemingly empty office, a cold gust of wind suddenly blew through. Before Zhao Hui could react, he abruptly felt a small, icy hand touch his face. Simultaneously, he seemed to hear a little girl’s laughter.

Hee hee…

The hair on his body stood on end. He whipped around, looking towards Gao Ting.

He thought this audacious woman had touched him, trying to curry favor or beg for mercy.

But turning around, he found Gao Ting standing by the wall, her back leaning against it, contemplating something.

She was at least two meters away from him.

Then who touched him?

Before this thought could fully form, his limbs suddenly twitched inexplicably. He was just standing there, having only turned around, yet he somehow tripped, stumbling forward and falling directly onto Gao Ting, embracing her.

And just then, the door was pushed open, and two people walked in.

Not only did two people walk in, but outside the door, many heads popped up, countless eyes instantly widening.

…

“Ah, this…”

Seeing the scene inside the office, everyone was stunned by what they saw.

Zhao Hui, the company’s notorious playboy and youngest quality inspection supervisor, was kneeling on both knees, hugging the female driver’s legs, his face buried deep in her lower abdomen.

And the long-legged female driver was forcefully pushing him, trying to shove him away.

The indecent, messy scene instantly sparked many thoughts.

“See? I wasn’t lying, was I?”

Lu Xin turned, released the general manager’s hand, and said seriously.

“Ah, this…”

The general manager was also shocked by the scene before him, blurting out, “Little Zhao, what are you doing?”

“Swish!”

Zhao Hui abruptly pushed Gao Ting away and scrambled up from the floor. Still somewhat dazed from the earlier scare, he saw two people barge into his office with so many onlookers outside. His embarrassing fall must have been seen by everyone.

He was both ashamed and furious, cursing, “Wang, what do you think you’re doing?”

Even though this General Manager Wang was one, even two ranks higher, Zhao Hui addressed him directly by surname, making Wang nervous.

He quickly said, “Zhao… Supervisor Zhao, this isn’t my fault…”

“It was him…”

He pointed at Lu Xin. “This person reported you for… coercion… and forcibly dragged me here…”

“Hmm?”

Zhao Hui’s expression changed instantly. He stared intently at Lu Xin’s face and said fiercely, “Who are you?”

Lu Xin took a step forward, a faint smile still on his face. “My name is Lu Xin, from Qinggang.”

“I reported you because you violated the law.”

…

“Reported me?”

Zhao Hui interpreted Lu Xin’s serious demeanor as provocation.

He subconsciously raised his hand, ready to curse and strike Lu Xin.

However, as his hand lifted, he saw the person before him looking calmly back.

Not only was he unhurried, but there seemed to be a faint smile playing on his lips.

Why did he even seem to see a hint of encouragement on his face?

This instantly raised his guard. At the last moment, he forcibly held back, his raised hand didn’t strike, and the curses died in his throat.

Looking at the doorway, countless gazes were fixed on him. It seemed explaining was pointless now.

Of course, he didn’t feel the need to explain. But this series of events felt too strange. Unwilling to stay, he suddenly snorted heavily, his cold gaze sweeping past Lu Xin’s face, then landing on Boss Gao Ting.

“I’ll remember you two.”

With that, he strode towards the door, roughly pushed through the crowd with both hands, and rushed downstairs.

By the time Lu Xin and Boss Gao Ting came down, the commotion in the office building had already attracted the attention of the old drivers and loaders below. Zhao Hui had long since jumped into his car, revved the engine to maximum speed with a roar, and sped out of the warehouse.

Many people looked around in surprise. “What happened here?”

“It’s nothing now.”

Lu Xin smiled at the old drivers. “Just now, that quality inspection director tried to take advantage of your boss. Everyone saw it.”

…

Manager Wang, who had followed downstairs in confusion, suddenly shivered, instantly feeling countless vicious stares.

The old drivers in the convoy were men who carried guns daily and dared to fight even madmen. Hearing such news, their anger instantly boiled over. A sinister glint appeared in their eyes, emanating that unique aura of wasteland travellers. It made the warehouse loaders and the management staff who had followed from the office building feel their hair stand on end.

“I’ll f*ck his grandpa’s bastard! I’ll kill him…”

Little Zhou roared, grabbed an iron hook used for moving cargo from nearby, and charged in the direction the sports car had left.

He chased for a long distance, then walked back, muttering resentfully, “Lucky for him he ran fast.”

No one around paid him any mind. They just looked at Boss Gao Ting with complicated expressions, then turned their cold gazes towards the people from the warehouse.

“Everyone, don’t panic. Fighting and causing trouble is wrong.”

Amidst the vicious silence, Lu Xin turned to General Manager Wang. “The facts are clear. You will handle this, right?”

The confusion and fear in Manager Wang’s heart were no less than Zhao Hui’s, who had driven away.

In fact, among everyone present, he was originally the one with the most doubts. However, before he could react, he suddenly saw so many eyes on him, many belonging to his own company employees.

Startled, he subconsciously nodded. “Yes, yes, we will definitely handle it…”

Lu Xin relaxed, revealing a smile. “That’s good.”
