Chapter 1410 One Move to Catch Them All

After Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law fell to the ground, they instinctively wanted to cry and make a scene, but they were frightened by the people in the corridor.

"Taking back their houses is too lenient on them; they should also get back Zhang Wenchang's salary and bonuses from all these years."

"Exactly! We even voted for Zhang Wenchang in the last 'Advanced Individuals' competition. That traitor should be hanged from a streetlamp!"

"Zhang Wenchang borrowed money from me last month to buy a motorcycle! Pay him back right now!"

The young men in the corridor were furious. They had had enough of the incompetence of Southwest Heavy Truck these past few days, but they never expected to be betrayed by their former colleagues. Their anger immediately doubled.

However, Li Ye stopped them: "Alright, alright, today is just for everyone to bear witness for me. As for what kind of punishment Zhang Wenchang will receive, it depends on the further investigation results from the public security department. As for them..."

Li Ye understood a principle from his previous life: never test human nature with money.
When faced with a sum of money that you could never save in your entire life, only your own parents might have a little resistance. While it's not impossible for others, those who can withstand the test are extremely rare.

Therefore, Li Ye wasn't particularly surprised when he confirmed that Zhang Wenchang's family had sold their conscience for just 50,000 yuan.

Unlike the twenty-eight colleagues in the corridor who shouted and threatened to kill the two women, Li Ye simply used their anger to drive Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law away.

Li Ye glanced at Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law: "If they want to reason, we'll reason with them; if they want to talk about the law, we'll talk about the law; if they don't want to reason, then it's even easier."

Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law shuddered, realizing that their previously foolproof methods of crying and making a scene were utterly ineffective against the power of the crowd.
The Li Ye before them was no longer the handsome and charming "good factory director," but a hideous demon.

Left with no other choice, the two had to help each other walk.

They've gone through several cycles of extreme joy and sorrow these past few days, and the psychological impact has been too great; they need to find a place to calm down first.

As for after recovering...
Watching the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law slink away, Lu Zhizhang whispered to Li Ye, "I don't think they've given up yet; they weren't really crying just now."

"I know, how could I shed tears before even seeing the coffin?"

Li Ye knew, of course, that Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law hadn't given up yet, after all, he had seen too many similar phenomena in his previous life.

Some people are just "lawless." They know perfectly well that a certain behavior is illegal, but they still dare to try it, and after they've done it, they're self-righteous and say, "So what?"

I was wrong, I broke the law, so what can you do to me?

Are they simply ignorant and fearless, or are they emboldened by their perceived arrogance?

Li Ye didn't know.

However, when Ma Zhaoxian, Shang Bin, Sun Xianjin, and Lao Feng arrived at the Southwest Airport in the afternoon, Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law, who had recovered from their shock, greeted them on time and started crying and making a scene while pulling on the clothes of the leaders.

Shang Bin reacted very quickly, saying immediately, "Zhang Wenchang is an employee of the group, one of our own. Southwest Heavy Truck and Light Truck Company are one entity; this is an internal conflict within the group. Fortunately, we have colleagues from the department here today. Don't worry, we will definitely give you justice."

Li Ye almost laughed out of anger.

So now Zhang Wenchang is one of us? When you were stabbing him with knives, why weren't you on our side?

However, Shang Bin quickly changed the subject and said, "But I've gotten a general idea of ​​your situation from the police."
They still suspect you instigated Zhang Wenchang to give a false testimony and need to bring you in for further processing. I'll take you there now. Don't worry, as long as you are innocent, no one can wrongly accuse you.”

Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law were immediately dumbfounded.

As long as we're innocent, then you won't wrongly accuse us? You fucking don't know whether we're innocent or not? It was your lackey Jia Zhongyue who instigated us with 50,000 yuan!
Ruan Mingli's mother-in-law immediately burst into tears, saying, "We are just ordinary people. Our legs go weak when we enter the government office, and we can't even speak properly. How can we prove our innocence? We need Secretary Shang to help us!"

"This"

Upon hearing Ruan Mingli's mother-in-law's words, Shang Bin feigned concern and said, "If you're afraid of going to the police station, then things will be a bit difficult. They definitely want your statements, unless... you go back to the capital right now."

"Back to the capital now?"

Ruan Mingli blurted out, "But my man is still here! What will he do if my daughter and I go back to the capital?"

Shang Bin puffed out his chest and confidently declared, "Don't worry about that. I've worked in the Southwest for over a decade and know a few people there. As long as you don't give anyone any leverage over him, I guarantee I can bring him back to the capital."

Ruan Mingli hesitated, while her mother-in-law glanced at Li Ye and suddenly asked, "But Secretary Shang, yesterday Factory Director Li said he was going to fire our Xiao Chang and take back our house. We're innocent!"

"Hey, it's just an apartment and a job, right? Don't worry about it. Just fly away now, and the group will handle everything else."

Shang Bin then launched into a long string of guarantees, acting like a compassionate and merciful bodhisattva who could save people from suffering.

In contrast to Shang Bin, Li Ye is more like a heartless and ruthless little demon.

Unfortunately, the observant Li Ye immediately saw that Shang Bin was "not human" and that every word he said was a lie.

Why did Shang Bin try to deceive Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law?

After Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law left, no one spoke up for Zhang Wenchang anymore.

When the time comes, he'll be left helpless and alone. He might not die unjustly, but all the blame and responsibility will fall squarely on his head.

This is also the outcome most desired by several parties: sacrificing one person to save millions of families—perfect.

But just as the Zhang family mother-in-law and daughter-in-law were hesitantly preparing to agree, Ma Zhaoxian spoke up.

He said thoughtfully, "If you leave the capital now, the 50,000 yuan disability compensation will be hard to say! Without family members, are we supposed to collect it on your behalf?"

"."

Ruan Mingli and her mother-in-law immediately perked up, their four eyes gleaming brightly.

Yesterday they lost their house, their job, and 50,000 yuan. Today, will they get it all back in an instant?

The happiness of something lost and then regained is like a double buff!
Li Ye couldn't help but give a thumbs up from behind.

Old ginger is spicier; I still need to practice.

Some people would rather die than give up their wealth.

Once you pinpoint their weaknesses, you can easily subdue them.
