Chapter 24

Tang Yino's sudden appearance caught Wu Shichun and the others off guard.

But even now that the truth had come to light, Wu Shichun still took a deep breath and said to Zhu Rongqiang, "Old Mr. Zhu, whether or not what Xiao Tang said is true, we can discuss later... But since we're already here, it shouldn't take much time to see Zhu Yonggui... What if Xiao Tang is lying?"

"Wu General Manager, I didn't..." Tang Yino felt wronged and was about to speak in her defense, but Wu Shichun's cold gaze met hers in mid-air, and the words on the tip of her tongue were swallowed back.

Zhu Rongqiang had no objections. After giving Wu Shichun a meaningful look, he nodded and said, "That Geely Panda helped our Zhu family a great deal last night. It's only right to say thank you."

After saying this, Zhu Rongqiang turned and gave Tang Yino a kind smile, gesturing for her to come over. "Young lady, come with us and be a witness."

Braving the angry glares, Tang Yino nodded hesitantly and stood behind Zhu Rongqiang, avoiding the gazes of Wu Shichun and Zhang Keyong.

At this moment, Zhu Yonggui, unaware of what was happening at the door due to the high-end office and excellent soundproofing, was still basking in his joy, holding his phone and chatting.

He was lounging in a brown leather swivel chair worth over ten thousand, his feet propped up on a luxurious desk.

He had maintained this posture for almost two hours, and his phone had been held up for just as long.

When Zhu Rongqiang, Wu Shichun, and the others suddenly pushed the door open, they heard Zhu Yonggui say smugly, "...Don't worry, this is a piece of cake for me. Aunt, have Junjun pack his bags and come to work tomorrow! Uh..."

In the middle of his conversation, he noticed Wu Shichun leading a strange old man into the room. Zhu Yonggui quickly told his aunt on the phone, "Aunt, let's talk later, I have something to do here..."

After hanging up, Zhu Yonggui glanced at Zhu Rongqiang, standing up from the chair with a somewhat dissatisfied mutter, "You didn't even knock before coming in... Wu General Manager, what do you need?"

The last sentence was said with the air of being the young master of the Sujiang Group and the owner of this office. In the past, Zhu Yonggui wouldn't even dare to breathe loudly in front of Wu Shichun!

When he looked up, he saw a familiar figure standing behind the old man. Before Wu Shichun could speak, Zhu Yonggui frowned and scolded, "Tang Yino! Weren't you fired? Why are you back in the company?!"

Tang Yino looked at him as if he were a dead man, pursing her lips and ignoring him... Yang Chen was right; it wasn't worth getting angry with a small-minded person like Zhu Yonggui, as it would only harm herself.

But Tang Yino's small, dismissive gesture made Zhu Yonggui, who was already feeling very important, suddenly turn grim. He slammed his hand on the desk and shouted, "Didn't you hear me talking to you? What kind of attitude is this?!"

"Cough, cough..." Seeing Zhu Yonggui's intolerable arrogance and Zhu Rongqiang's calm expression, Wu Shichun coughed awkwardly and asked Zhu Yonggui, "Xiao Zhu, this old gentleman has a few questions for you... Please cooperate first. We'll talk about Xiao Tang's issues later."

Even though Zhu Yonggui's prospects were bleak, Wu Shichun still treated him politely, just in case Tang Yino was lying. Even a small possibility wasn't enough to make Wu Shichun confront Zhu Yonggui now!

Fortunately, although Zhu Yonggui was arrogant, he knew Wu Shichun's position in the company was far beyond his reach as a "bastard." So, he nodded, retracting his gaze from Tang Yino, and said, "Ask your questions quickly, it's almost time... The chairman has a dinner appointment with me tonight!"

Wu Shichun suppressed the urge to slap Zhu Yonggui, turning to Zhu Rongqiang, "Old Mr. Zhu, what do you think?"

"Hehe... Not old, but quite a temper." Zhu Rongqiang stared at Zhu Yonggui for a few seconds, then laughed and asked, "Are you Zhu Yonggui? Do you have a silver-gray Geely Panda?"

"What does that have to do with you?" Seeing Zhu Rongqiang ask the same question that Zhang Keyong, Wu Shichun, and Song Peng'an had already asked, Zhu Yonggui, who was already guilty, stiffened and said impatiently, "Asking the same question over and over, aren't you bored?"

"I think you're just guilty..." Tang Yino pursed her lips again, her expression now tinged with disdain.

"Hehe, little girl, don't be angry. I just have two questions for you." Zhu Rongqiang smiled and said, "First question, did you lend your Geely Panda to the young lady behind me last night?"

Zhu Rongqiang's smile made Zhu Yonggui feel a vague unease.

But in front of Wu Shichun and Zhang Keyong, he didn't dare to be uncooperative. He nodded stiffly and said in a bad-tempered tone, "Yes, I lent it to Tang Yino. She even crashed my car... What do you want to know?"

"Second question." Zhu Rongqiang was already 100% sure he had the wrong person but still asked with a smile, "Did you drive to Zhenglong County in Luodian City last night?"

"I think I know what this is about..." Zhu Yonggui's mind was racing, and he pointed at Tang Yino with a smug look, saying, "Did she drive my car and hit someone in Zhenglong County? Ha... I was in the dormitory all night, and my roommates can vouch for me that I didn't go to Zhenglong County!"

"Ah..." Zhu Rongqiang sighed softly and turned to Wu Shichun, "It's confirmed, it's not him."

"Of course not me!" Zhu Yonggui laughed, his eyes gleaming with schadenfreude as he looked at Tang Yino, completely oblivious to the murderous look in Zhang Keyong's eyes.

Wu Shichun nodded expressionlessly, knowing that family matters should not be aired in public. Although he wanted to punch Zhu Yonggui, he didn't intend to lose his temper in front of outsiders.

At this point, Zhu Rongqiang turned to Tang Yino and said politely, "The matter is clear. This Zhu Yonggui is not the person we're looking for. It seems your friend is the one we want... What's your friend's name?"

"My friend is Yang Chen..." Tang Yino quickly replied.

"Yang Chen?" Wu Shichun was taken aback and asked, "Which Yang Chen?"

"He is the son of Yang Xiuyuan, the chairman of Hengyang Group..." Tang Yino explained, "I used to be his personal assistant, so..."

"Old Mr. Zhu..." Wu Shichun didn't listen to Tang Yino's explanation but turned to Zhu Rongqiang and said, "I know this Yang Chen... From what I know, he's just a good-for-nothing wastrel. Could you be mistaken?"

"Good-for-nothing? Wastrel?" Zhu Rongqiang was a bit confused by this twist and couldn't help but laugh bitterly, asking, "So, you know this Yang Chen well?"

"Not very well, but I've heard about his 'glorious' deeds from childhood..." After a moment's thought, Wu Shichun began to embellish Yang Chen's past misdeeds, recounting them in detail to everyone.

When Wu Shichun finished, even Zhu Rongqiang was taken aback... He had seen unruly and spoiled rich kids, but never one as outrageous as this...

In junior high, he dared to take a female classmate to a hotel, only to be caught by the vice principal with his pants down, leading to a school-wide announcement and almost getting expelled, which was only resolved by Yang Xiuyuan's money.

In high school, it got even worse. He even tried to date his female teacher! One day, he drove a brand new Porsche worth over a million to the school gate and put up a banner declaring his love... The outcome was predictably disastrous.

He was expelled from university for his numerous misdeeds... Wu Shichun recounted these "glorious" deeds in detail, concluding, "So, this Yang Chen is a good-for-nothing fool. Although I don't know why you're so concerned about this matter, I believe this Yang Chen is definitely not the person you're looking for!"

Hearing Wu Shichun's firm words, Tang Yino panicked and quickly defended Yang Chen, "Old Mr. Zhu, my friend, although he was a bit wild in the past, he has changed... Really, he was the one who went to that chemical plant last night!"

He was the one who went to that chemical plant last night!

This sudden exclamation brought Zhu Rongqiang's muddled thoughts back to the right track.

Yes... No matter how wild Yang Chen was in the past, he was the one who handled the matter last night!

Young people... A bit wild and unruly in their youth is understandable!

Thinking this, Zhu Rongqiang turned to Wu Shichun and said, "This Yang Chen is probably the person I'm looking for... We'll go with Xiao Tang to find her friend and won't disturb you with your family matters."

"But Old Mr. Zhu..."

"Tell Xiao Song to take care of this matter when he returns." Zhu Rongqiang said with a hint of amusement, then turned and left the 1509 office with his secretary, assistant, and bodyguards.

Before leaving, Tang Yino turned and made a face at Zhang Keyong and Wu Shichun, feeling a sense of schadenfreude... The expressions on Zhang Keyong and Wu Shichun's faces as she left were quite entertaining!
