“H…How do you know about this?”
A moment later, Li Cong Tian tried to keep his cool and asked this with a trembling voice.
His voice quivered and was very soft because he was afraid that others would overhear.
The embezzlement had been kept top secret. Only he and the police higher-ups knew about it.
It was obvious that Li Cong Tian was a transparent man. He would not want a company that he’d built with his own hands to fall because of someone in the company being involved in embezzlement.
“Like I said, my friend asked me to come here,” Bai Chen answered calmly.
From the expression on Li Cong Tian’s face, it was obvious that he knew about the embezzlement.
Li Cong Tian went quiet and thought over something by himself. What he was thinking made his heart raced rapidly and his breath become jerky.
If Feng Chao was a friend of Bai Chen’s acquaintance, would that not mean he was already making Bai Chen angry?
Hearing what Bai Chen said, it was he who was at fault because he’d made Feng Chao a scapegoat with the embezzlement charge.
This ‘Feng Chao’ was, of course, Li Cian Tian’s close subordinate. He’d found evidence of embezzlement of as much as 500 million yuan that led to him!
‘But how would Feng Chao be a scapegoat, if the evidence was so obvious?’ Li Cong Tian inhaled deeply and thought this to himself.
He spoke even more politely and carefully. “We should talk somewhere else.”
He wanted to change the location of this conversation because it was inappropriate to talk here.
The embezzlement could possibly be exposed among these many people.
“All right.” Bai Chen did not think much about it. He nodded without hesitation. He knew that they should talk about it in private.
He followed Li Cong Tian up into the building. The bodyguards had heard the whole story, but they acted as if they were deaf.
It did not concern them. Their job was only to protect Li Cong Tian.
.................................................
Inside the beautifully furnished office, Bai Chen was sitting on a guest sofa. A cup of hot coffee was set on the glass table in front of him. Li Cong Tian was sitting on the opposite sofa.
Li Cong Tian’s face had broken into a sweat, even though the room was cold. He used tissue papers to wipe the sweat off all the time.
“Mr. Bai San, let me put this frankly. You’re saying that Feng Chao is a scapegoat in this embezzlement case?”
Li Cong Tian said this. His tone was still polite and careful.
Bai Chen nodded without hesitation. “Yes.”
“Do you have any proof?” Li Cong Tian asked.
“Of course I do,” Bai Chen answered immediately.
Hearing that, Li Cong Tian’s heart almost stopped beating. He suddenly recalled that yesterday Feng Chao had been crying and shouting very loudly that he was not the one who’d embezzled the company’s money.
However, he had not believed it because the evidence said otherwise.
“Y…You really have proof?” Li Cong Tian’s voice trembled. His face went pale.
It was all because of Bai Chen. If he’d really turned in the wrong person, he would be doomed because the accused was a friend of Bai Chen’s acquaintance.
Li Cong Tian misunderstood that Bai Chen had a grand background, so of course, he did not want to anger him because it would only bring his family chaos.
It was only normal that Li Cong Tian’s face would go pale.
He also did not expect that Feng Chao would have a friend who knew the glorious Bai Chen.
He gulped his saliva down into his parched throat before asking, “May I ask where it is?”
Of course, Bai Chen noticed it. It seemed like Li Cong Tian felt uneasy because of what he’d said.
It was possible that Li Cong Tian felt bad because he had turned in the wrong person.
Bai Chen did not know that Li Cong Tian acted strangely because of him.
“Follow me. I’ll take you to see the evidence.” Bai Chen got up from the sofa. He had not even touched the coffee cup because he was not here for the coffee, but the mission.
Bai Chen needed to spend the time he had wisely. He would spend it on all the missions the Life Changing System gave him so that he could get his revenge faster.
Now, he got up because he wanted to go to where the proof was.
The mission 28 windows had been open all this time, so Bai Chen could see the green guiding arrow.
Li Cong Tian, who was white-faced, said no more. He got up from his sofa and followed Bai Chen out of the room.
Bai Chen and Li Cong Tian soon arrived at a room with a sign that said: ‘Hua Hai, Vice President’.
“Hua Hai!” Li Cong Tian’s facial expression changed entirely when they reached the room.
He was the president of this company, so of course, he knew all of his vice presidents. Hua Hai was the one who’d discovered Feng Chao’s embezzlement along with all the evidence.
“I can’t believe it.” Li Cong Tian did not want to believe it. He knew Hua Hai well.
Hua Hai had been working with him for a long time, practically since he’d established the company.
That was why Li Cong Tian did not want to believe it.
Bai Chen did not say anything. He did not even know if Hua Hai was the one at fault. Even if the proof was in his room, it did not automatically mean that he was the culprit.
“The proof is in this room,” Bai Chen said and reached out his hand to open the door.
He could not, because it was locked.
Li Cong Tian hurriedly took out his phone and called someone with a key to come and unlock it. Bai Chen did not have to tell him what to do as he really wanted to know if Hua Hai was the actual embezzler or not.
A moment later, a man came and opened the door for them. He was Li Cong Tian’s personal assistant, Yuan Kai.
“Let’s go inside,” Bai Chen said and led the way inside.
Li Cong Tian followed him quietly. Yuan Kai also did, even though he had no clue about anything.
