Chapter 95

Seeing the situation was not good, Shen Yifei quickly walked to Lu Xin's side, held his arm, and shouted loudly to the parents of those thugs, "Your sons have extorted and blackmailed countless people over the past few years. Most of those people didn't report your sons' crimes out of respect for your reputations. Now, Lu Xin has bravely stood up and exposed your sons' crimes. He is a victim and a protected witness for the police. If you continue to insult him, the police can charge you with threatening a witness. If you hit him, you will be charged with intentional injury. If you don't want to join your sons in prison, keep your distance from Lu Xin. Otherwise, your family reunion in prison will be a great story for Sanjiang Group!"

Hearing Shen Yifei's words, the parents of those thugs were frightened and dared not make a sound.

Although there were many onlookers, and the situation seemed to be turning into a dangerous mob incident, everyone knew about the thugs' bad deeds. They almost unanimously supported Lu Xin, blaming the parents for their poor upbringing and saying their sons deserved to be caught.

The parents were too ashamed to continue the commotion and eventually withdrew after a while.

Lu Xin got into the police car and went to the Sanjiang District Public Security Bureau with Shen Yifei to give his statement.

At the police station, Wu Guicang, Wang Yigen, Ni Mako, and Miao Guangnian refused to admit their guilt and even accused Lu Xin.

Lu Xin took out his phone and played the video.

Wu Guicang and the others had previously thought their scam was clever, but after watching the video, they realized how clumsy their scheme was and hung their heads in despair.

Shen Yifei also checked their call records. Even though they had deleted the call records from their phones, she obtained the records from the mobile company, proving that they had called each other after Lu Xin won the lottery, confirming that they were a gang involved in a scam.

The ceramic incense burner that Wu Guicang had smashed was also used as evidence. The owner of the ceramic shop, Mr. Yang, confirmed that Wu Guicang had bought the incense burner for 14 yuan and then tried to pass it off as a Xuande incense burner to extort money from Lu Xin, confirming the charge of extortion.

According to the Criminal Law, if the amount of extortion is less than 3,000 yuan, it is not punishable. If these people had only extorted one or two thousand yuan, Shen Yifei would have had no way to deal with them. However, they had extorted 50,000 yuan and had a history of extorting many others, making them repeat offenders. They would face at least three years in prison.

Yesterday, Chen Zhenpeng was arrested for a motorcycle robbery. Since his parents had both been driven to death by him, and he had joined a gang, Sanjiang Group had removed him from the list of employees' children, so the incident did not escalate.

However, this time, the parents of Wu Guicang, Wang Yigen, and Ni Mako were retired workers of Sanjiang Group and were still alive. Wu Guicang and Wang Yigen's personnel files were still with Sanjiang Group, so the incident affected the reputation of Sanjiang Group.

Upon hearing about the incident, the chairman of Sanjiang Group, Jiang Zhenhua, immediately instructed the board secretary to convene a meeting with other leaders to discuss how to handle the aftermath and restore the company's reputation.

Shen Yafang, the head of the Publicity Department, was not a main leader of the group, but since the incident involved the company's reputation, which the Publicity Department was responsible for maintaining, Jiang Zhenhua also asked the board secretary to summon Shen Yafang.

Two hours later, the meeting room was filled with important figures from Sanjiang Group.

The group's executive vice president, Li Zhonggang, had worked in the same factory as Wu Guicang's father. The information he had was provided by Wu Guicang's father, and based on this incorrect information, he made a wrong judgment, shouting, "I think Lu Xin must be fired! He hit Wang Mangcang first and refused to admit his mistake. Despite repeated accusations by Wang Yishen and Ni Mako, he still denied it and colluded with the police to frame Wang Mangcang, Wang Yishen, and Ni Mako. This behavior cannot be tolerated, or our old workers will complain and blame us for being unfair!"

Li Zhonggang secretly smiled, thinking this was a great opportunity to kick Lu Xin out of Sanjiang Group. Once Lu Xin left, Shen Yafang and Jiang Xueqing would have no way to protect him, and he wouldn't be able to compete with his son for Jiang Xueqing.

Another vice president, Xie Changrong, had learned about the situation from Ni Mako's mother, Ma Chunlan. As her former lover, Xie Changrong naturally believed her. Moreover, when his sister-in-law, Liu Jianhong, and his nephew, Xie Fei, mentioned Lu Xin's name, they were filled with strong resentment. Xie Changrong naturally had no good feelings towards Lu Xin. Hearing Li Zhonggang's words, he agreed, "Vice President Li is right. We cannot tolerate Lu Xin's behavior. He must be fired!"

Shen Yafang glanced at Li Zhonggang with disdain. She knew about the conflict between Li Zhonggang's son, Li Qiming, and Lu Xin. She also glanced at Xie Changrong with disdain, knowing about the conflict between Xie Changrong's son, Xie Fei, and Lu Xin in the hospital. She coldly smiled, "Can you ignore the basic facts just because of personal grudges? Vice President Li, you said that Lu Xin colluded with the police to frame those three people. Do you dare to repeat that?"

Li Zhonggang glared at the woman with whom he had no marital affection left, "Why not! Lu Xin colluded with the police to frame Wang Mangcang, Wang Yishen, and Ni Mako. This behavior cannot be tolerated."

Shen Yafang turned to Chairman Jiang Zhenhua and smiled faintly, "Chairman, the executive vice president you appointed is about to be arrested for the crime of false accusation. You might need to appoint a new executive vice president!"

Jiang Zhenhua was stunned, not knowing what to say. This couple, though not divorced, had been living separately and were always at odds.

Li Zhonggang flew into a rage, shouting, "Shen Yafang, what do you mean? Speak clearly!"

Shen Yafang smiled disdainfully, "First, it is well known that the old employees' children, Wang Mangcang, Wang Yishen, and Ni Mako, have been scamming and deceiving visitors to Sanjiang Group for years, causing a very bad influence. This time, they colluded with the lottery shop owner, Miao Guangnian, to try to take Lu Xin's 50,000 yuan lottery winnings. This is a clear fact, but you two have ignored the basic facts from the beginning.

Second, the officer handling this case is Officer Shen Yifei, a high achiever from Huaxia Police University. She is observant and has thoroughly investigated the case. The interrogation video has been sent to me, and I will play it for everyone now so that everyone can have a clear understanding of the situation!"
