Nodding: "Okay!"

Li Mu smiled and said, "Miss Annie is so kind. Come on, let's have a meal first."

……

After lunch, the two went up to the suite.

Liang Anni said, "Mr. Li, what are your conditions? You can tell me now."

Li Mu stretched and said, "My shoulders are a little sore." He then looked at Liang Anni.

Liang Anni paused for a moment, took a deep breath, and a charming smile appeared on her face. She came behind Li Mu and began to massage his shoulders.

After a few minutes, Liang Anni felt her hand getting a little sore and asked in a charming voice, "Mr. Li, are you done?"

Li Mu shook his neck and said, "Miss Annie's technique is good. My shoulder feels much better, but my back is starting to ache again."

Liang Anni was a little angry, her breathing quickened, and her chest heaved as she suppressed her emotions and said, "Then what can we do? There's nothing I can do to help you now that you're sitting here!"

Li Mu said, "Miss Anne is right. Why don't we go to the bed? I'll lie down, which will make it easier for Miss Anne to do her thing."

Standing behind him, Liang Anni's face flushed with anger, but she couldn't refuse, so she could only mumble a soft "hmm," having already prepared herself mentally before coming. If necessary, and Li Mu didn't compromise, she might have to resort to seduction.

After a long time, Liang Anni stared at the man beside her with a kind of infatuation, and suddenly felt that she had wasted her life.

Her mind raced, recalling past experiences, and then she thought of the USB drive, a ticking time bomb. She sighed silently. She had come with a purpose, wanting to control this man, so how did she end up falling for him?

After a long silence, he finally decided to speak, for the matter definitely needed to be resolved.

"Where's my stuff? Can you give it back to me?"

Li Mu gently stroked her delicate skin with one hand and said, "Now? Not yet!"

Liang Anni was a little angry: "What are your conditions? You can say so. Do you want money?"

Li Mu smiled and shook his head, saying, "I don't want money, I don't want anything, just look at this."

As he spoke, he took out his phone and pulled out the photos he had taken a couple of days ago at the fake cable factory.

Upon seeing the photos, Liang Anni was stunned. She hadn't expected that Li Mu knew exactly what they had done and had even taken photos of it. This was no longer just a matter of the USB drive.

She trembled all over as she said, "What...what are you going to do?"

Li Mu stared at her and said, "What you've been doing will be exposed sooner or later. You should go and expose it first."

Liang Anni's mind went blank: "You want me to expose..."

As she spoke, she seemed unable to believe that the two of them had been so intimate just moments before, yet now they had turned on each other so ruthlessly. Looking at Li Mu's unwavering gaze, Liang Anni felt deceived and mocked.

Ignoring the exposed skin on her chest, she sat up abruptly, her face full of resentment, and said, "You want me to expose myself? I'll expose myself."

Li Mu nodded calmly and said, "Yes!"

Liang Anni was furious. Pointing at Li Mu, she said, "Do you know what you're saying? You're sending me to jail, you…"

Li Mu said, “Telling someone doesn’t mean going to jail. Although the amount of money involved in this case is very large, your company is a private enterprise, not a state-owned enterprise. It falls under the category of ‘the government will not investigate unless the people report it.’”

"Even if you embezzled and harmed the company's interests, as long as the company doesn't pursue the matter, the law can't punish you for it."

Liang Anni retorted angrily, "You make it sound nice, but how could the company not investigate what we've done?"

Li Mu said, "Why not? You just need to go to your headquarters and personally report it. From any perspective, your company will handle it accordingly. It's impossible to send you to jail. Otherwise, it will only alienate everyone. Who will still care about the company in the future? Everyone will try to poach employees from the company. Anyway, whoever reports it will be dealt with."

Liang Anni was silent for a moment, then said, "It's no use. Even if the company doesn't pursue it, there are other problems."

Li Mu said, "You mean the quality problem of the fake cable?"

Liang Anni said, "The fake cables we produce under our own brand are completely substandard. They have already been used in many projects, including many in the city. If quality problems occur, we will definitely hold them accountable."

Li Mu said, "Then you should expose them even more. The fake cables you're using will definitely cause problems, and the consequences will be even more serious."

Liang Anni looked at him hopefully and said, "We're just making a quick buck and will stop soon. Maybe the cable won't have any problems! As long as you don't say anything, no one will know, and this matter will be over."

"Please, could you..."

Li Mu said coldly, "Give up on that idea. Unless you expose me, I will definitely report you all, and none of you will escape. The reason I haven't reported you yet is because you've behaved well, giving you a chance to redeem yourself."

Liang Anni was furious: "Why...why do you have to make things difficult for us..."

Li Mu said, "Wasn't it me who saved you...?"

Liang Anni angrily retorted, "Your so-called saving me means sending me to jail..."

Li Mu said, "I only asked you to expose them, I didn't say I was going to jail for you!"

Liang Anni said, "With such a large amount of money involved, how could he not go to jail?"

Li Mu said, “Why not! First of all, you have made a meritorious report, which will reduce or even exempt you from punishment. On the other hand, you are a private company, not a state-owned enterprise. Your position in the company is not high. At most, you are a minor accomplice, so your responsibility is not great. In addition, with the merit of reporting, how serious can the crime be?”

Liang Anni remained silent for a moment, then said, "It's impossible. I'm not afraid of the 'what if,' but I'm afraid of the 'what if,' what if he really gets sentenced?"

Li Mu said, "I have another way. Even if I'm unlucky and get sentenced, I won't have to go to jail!"

Liang Anni asked hopefully, "What method?"

Li Mu grinned mischievously: "Come closer, and I'll tell you."

Liang Anni rolled her eyes at him and obediently moved closer.

"What exactly is the method?"

Li Meng whispered something in her ear, and Liang Anni covered her mouth and gasped, her face flushed.

"Pregnant!"

Li Mu nodded and said, "As long as you get pregnant, there won't be any problems. At most, you'll be summoned to cooperate with the investigation, but you won't even be detained."

"Even if you're unlucky and get convicted, you're just a minor accomplice. You reported and exposed others, so the crime is very light and you won't get a long sentence. Plus, you're pregnant, so you won't even have to go to prison; your sentence will be over before you even start."

Liang Anni blushed and glared at him, then remained silent for a moment before trying to coax him: "If you're unlucky, you might get an extra two years!"

Li Mu said, "Then get pregnant again. But don't worry, since you took the initiative to expose and report, the chances of you being sentenced are very small. And even if you are sentenced, the sentence will be short, so don't worry about that."

Liang Anni remained resistant: "Can't you just turn a blind eye and let this go? We promise we won't do it again and we'll shut down the factory immediately."

Li Mu shook his head: "You have to understand, I'm only giving you this plan to redeem yourself out of pity. Actually, I could have taken you all in and sent you all to jail without bothering with you here. You should cherish this opportunity."

"Besides, do you think that no one else besides me will find out about your business? Don't you know the quality of the fake cables you produce? I heard that some of them are even being used on subway lines, which will definitely cause problems in the future."

"To put it bluntly, now is the best time for you to report this. If you wait until things get serious, it will be too late to regret it. At that point, the minimum sentence will be ten years. Just think about how old you will be in ten years. Forget about your property; it will all be confiscated."

"By then, your life will be completely ruined."

Liang Anni's expression changed: "I... but even if I report it, the money will still have to be returned. I only have that little savings, and it's not easy to find a job. How am I supposed to live in the future?"

Li Mu put one arm around her and said, "Don't worry, I'm here for you! You may not have money, but I do! With me here, you won't have to worry about not having money in the future."

Liang Anni was still somewhat hesitant and uncertain.

Li Mu stopped pressuring: "Think it over carefully for two days, and give me your answer in a couple of days. I'll hire the best lawyer and make sure you're exonerated."

Liang Anni lowered her head silently, caught in a deep dilemma.

……

After parting ways with Liang Anni, Li Mu drove back. On the way, he suddenly saw a van drive onto the sidewalk, with a bicycle slowly moving in front of it.

The scene before him felt strangely familiar to Li Mu, so he immediately found a place to pull over and park his car.

As soon as he parked the car, a conflict broke out. Facing the college students who were blocking the way and accusing the van of driving on the sidewalk instead of the motor vehicle lane, Xu Dapao took a long knife from the van and stabbed the young man in the stomach, causing him to bleed profusely.

The young man was terrified when he encountered such a ruthless person. He clutched his stomach, took a few steps back, turned around, and ran away while shouting for help.

The commotion was quite loud. The crowd that had been watching the spectacle was also terrified when they saw Xu Dapao pull out his real weapon and start stabbing people. They scattered in all directions with a loud bang.

Li Mu casually grabbed a baseball bat from the car, tossed it around, and found it quite handy. He then stood against the flow of people.

The young man looked at the scattering crowd with a hint of despair in his eyes. But when he saw Li Mu standing there calmly without running away, a glimmer of hope returned to him, and he staggered toward Li Mu.

However, as soon as he got close to Li Mu, he collapsed to the ground with a thud.

Behind him, Xu Dapao, his face contorted with rage, looked at the fallen young man like a cat catching a mouse, a smug smile on his face. Gripping his long knife, he walked toward the young man with a cruel expression, followed a few meters behind by four or five henchmen with arrogant eyes.

However, after taking only two steps, Xu Dapao's eyes suddenly narrowed as someone blocked his way. The person was calm and showed no fear; in fact, there was a hint of mockery in their eyes.

How could he tolerate this? Enraged, Xu Dapao gripped his long knife again. With a loud bang, Li Mu raised his baseball bat and slammed it down heavily on Xu Dapao's neck. As expected, Xu Dapao collapsed to the ground like a log, unconscious.

The henchmen behind them were stunned and stopped in their tracks. They wanted to rush over to get revenge and rescue their boss, but they also wanted to escape as soon as possible, since someone had already called the police.

Li Mu didn't give them a chance to think further. He grabbed the baseball and charged forward, yelling, "Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Half a minute later, all the bandits fell to the ground, unconscious. Seeing that there was no danger, the onlookers rushed forward and subdued all the bandits.

Others quickly provided first aid to the young man to control his injuries.

Just then, the sound of police cars could be heard in the distance. Li Mu walked out of the crowd, got into his car, glanced back at the approaching police car, and quietly drove away.

……

Time flew by, and a few more days passed in the blink of an eye. As expected, Li Mu was found by the police and became a model of bravery, gaining some fame.

On the other hand, seeing that Li Mu's deadline had arrived and he still showed no sign of backing down, Liang Anni finally couldn't hold on any longer and began to compromise.

That day, with tears in her eyes, Liang Anni, accompanied by Li Mu, first reported the situation and made a complaint to the head office.

Of course, the responsibility lies entirely with Wei Guangjun and Zhao Juemin. How could Liang Anni, a mere finance manager, have accomplished such a major feat? She was simply dragged into it by those two bad guys. Now, driven by her conscience, she could no longer stand it. Risking retaliation from the other two, she reported and denounced them to the head office, thoroughly eradicating the company's corrupt elements.

Hongqiang Cable's headquarters reacted quickly, and based on the information provided by Liang Anni, they soon obtained solid evidence and reported the incident to the police.
