Power and wealth bring fragrance

"I...I'm not...I..."

Liu Ding, a wealthy boss with assets worth billions, was so frightened by Chairman Chen's reprimand that he couldn't even speak properly and stammered for a long time without uttering a single word.

In desperation, Liu Ding gritted his teeth, knelt down heavily on both knees in front of Chairman Chen.

Chairman Chen, who was about to continue reprimanding Liu Ding, did not expect Liu Ding to kneel down. He frowned tightly, his eyes becoming increasingly displeased.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Trying to play the victim and beg me to let you off the hook?"

Upon hearing this, tears welled up in Liu Ding's eyes instantly, mingling with cold sweat as they streamed down his cheeks. He banged his head on the ground, sobbing and pleading.

"President Chen, please calm down. I absolutely did not mean to offend you!"

"I just made a mistake in a moment of panic because of the urgent situation at the company."

"With bank loans temporarily suspended and malicious rumors causing the pre-sale of new homes to be halted, we are unable to recover funds, putting the group's cash flow under strain and potentially causing problems at any time. That's why I had this wicked idea to prepare a small gift!"

Liu Ding pressed his forehead tightly against the cold floor, his tone humble to the point of being insignificant.

"I was rash just now. Please, for the sake of our past friendship, lend me a hand."

"Just suppress this matter for two weeks, and once the bank releases the loan and the cash flow is restored, you can thoroughly investigate all of Dingsheng's accounts and projects. I won't dare to hide anything!"

"Please, just help me this once!"

Liu Ding pleaded, and Chairman Chen looked down at Liu Ding, who was kneeling on the ground crying and in a sorry state. After a moment of silence, he was about to speak.

Suddenly, a teasing male voice came from outside the door, lightly breaking the oppressive silence inside the room.

"Oh, why is Mr. Liu kneeling here?"

Liu Ding froze abruptly, his eyes widened, and his neck stiffened as he turned his head toward the door with a creaking sound, like a rusty machine.

Wei Yuan stood with one hand in his pocket, leaning against the door frame, looking at Liu Ding with a mocking, half-smiling expression, taking in Liu Ding's most embarrassing and pathetic state.

The moment their eyes met, Liu Ding felt a bang in his head.

That taut string snapped instantly!

From the initial surprise and anger upon meeting in the parking lot, to the shame and panic of being scolded and berated by Chairman Chen, and then to the humiliation and repression of kneeling and begging for mercy, it all erupted like magma, uncontrollable and violent.

Liu Ding suddenly leaped up, his face contorted with rage, his eyes bloodshot as if he wanted to devour someone, and he cursed at Wei Yuan.

"You bastard, you're everywhere!"

"Do you even know where you are? How dare you barge in and cause trouble?"

"Get out of here right now! I don't have time to deal with you. If you utter another word, I won't let you off the hook!"

Wei Yuan stood motionless, his eyes filled with even more mockery, quietly watching Liu Ding roar like a mad dog that had lost control.

Seeing that he showed no fear, Liu Ding was filled with rage. He clenched his fists, stepped forward, and was about to teach Wei Yuan a lesson.

But as soon as he took a step, he heard Chairman Chen's surprised and delighted voice behind him.

"Dr. Wei, what brings you here?"

Before he finished speaking, Chairman Chen took the initiative to quickly step forward to greet him, his smile bright and warm, showing none of the coldness and sternness he had displayed when reprimanding Liu Ding earlier.

Wei Yuan smiled and shook hands with Chairman Chen.

"I had some business at the hospital, and I thought I'd drop by to see how the old man is recovering."

Liu Ding froze on the spot, his blood seemingly freezing instantly. He stared blankly at the two people chatting happily, his mind going blank and completely turning into a jumbled mess.

A huge, inexplicable panic welled up from the bottom of his heart and spread throughout his body in an instant, causing him to tremble uncontrollably and his voice to become shaky.

"President Chen...you..."

"You...you...know each other?"

Wei Yuan gave a faint smile and did not reply.

Upon hearing the sound, Chairman Chen turned around, his gentle expression vanishing instantly, replaced by a deep gloom, his cold gaze fixed intently on Liu Ding.

"Dr. Wei is my savior. My grandfather was seriously ill a few days ago, and it was only thanks to Dr. Wei's treatment that his life was saved."

"You just insulted Doctor Wei so harshly, do you have some kind of grudge against him?"

Upon hearing this, Liu Ding felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

A bone-chilling cold shot from the soles of my feet to the top of my head, my throat tightened, and I couldn't utter a single word.

Wei Yuan chuckled lightly and spoke calmly, yet every word he uttered struck Liu Ding's sore spot like a knife.

"It's not that there's any deep-seated hatred, it's just that Mr. Liu's son tried to assault my friend, but I stopped him, and then he died in some mysterious way."

"As a result, without distinguishing right from wrong, General Manager Liu assumed that I was the one who did it, and put a bounty on my head everywhere, wishing he could kill me as soon as possible."

"We just happened to bump into each other in the hospital parking lot. I thought it was a coincidence, but I never expected to meet here."

"What a... coincidence..."

Chairman Chen suddenly realized something, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

Is that a coincidence?

It's more like enemies are destined to meet.

As Liu Ding listened to Wei Yuan's words, his face turned deathly pale.

He no longer cared about targeting Wei Yuan; instead, he looked at Chairman Chen with a somewhat bewildered expression, his lips moving as if he wanted to say something.

However, Chairman Chen's face grew increasingly gloomy as he stared coldly at Liu Ding.

"I see, I never knew such a thing existed."

After a pause, Chairman Chen's tone became increasingly chilling.

"In that case, there's no need to say anything more."

"Dr. Wei is the old man's savior and a distinguished guest of the Chen family."

"His business is my business, and it is the Chen family's business."

"I'll take on the feud between you and Doctor Wei on his behalf!"

"There's no need to mention asking me to make an exception or anything like that. We're enemies now, so let's stick to official business."

As he spoke, Chairman Chen took out his phone from his pocket and called his secretary directly.

After the call was connected, Chairman Chen's voice was cold and devoid of any warmth as he gave the order directly.

"We will select capable personnel from the association to form a special investigation team, which will immediately be stationed at Dingsheng Group to conduct a comprehensive and thorough investigation of all of Dingsheng Group's projects, financial records, and other records."

"Any violation of rules or laws will be met with zero tolerance!"

"Yes, Chairman!"

The secretary readily accepted the order.

Upon hearing these words, Liu Ding felt all his strength drain away instantly. His legs went weak, and he collapsed heavily onto the cold ground, his eyes losing all light.

Finished!

This is completely over!

That damn Wei Yuan, why does he have such a deep relationship with Chairman Chen!

This backfired, not only failing to get Chairman Chen to show leniency, but also accelerating and intensifying the crackdown, leaving no room for maneuver!

Dingsheng Group's multi-billion dollar empire has been completely destroyed by its own hands!

Wei Yuan looked at the distraught Liu Ding with a smile on his lips, but his eyes were cold and unmoving.

Liu Ding brought this upon himself!

He deserved it!
