Qiao Xiâs eyes narrowed slightly. Before the police came, Sun Chuan had a nervous expression, but now that the police were here, he was no longer afraid. He insisted that she had nothing to do with this matter. Had Xia Mengyan said something to him?
Yuan Shan frowned. âYouâre the most suspicious person now. I hope you can cooperate with usâ¦â
âIâm a suspect just because I spoke to the waiter? Just because Mrs. Gu suspects me, you want to arrest me? You want to bully the commoners just because you have power? This is unfair!â
Sun Chuan looked proud. As long as he did not admit it, they had no evidence. Even Gu Zheng had no right to arrest him!
The scene fell into an awkward silence. Gu Zheng smiled casually, and a wave of killing intent instantly burst out, filling the entire lounge. Sun Chuan was so scared that his expression changed. âW-What are you doing?â
Gu Zheng was expressionless, and the color of his eyes was faint. However, for some reason, his expression made one shudder as their hearts thumped violently.
Song Shijing knew Gu Zheng well. The calmer he looked, the angrier he was. Sun Chuan had completely angered him.
Song Shiyu took a few steps forward and said impatiently, âYoung Master Sun, you have to be clear about one thing. If our president wants to deal with someone, he doesnât need evidence nor does he need to resort to formal sentencing. Maybe you can save your life if you go to jail!â
The smug look on Sun Chuanâs face vanished abruptly, and he broke out in a cold sweat. He quickly wanted to look for the police for help, but he was interrupted by Song Shiyu coldly. âYoung Master Sun, since you didnât do anything, whatâs there to be afraid of? Our president is indeed worried about Young Madam, but sheâs fine now. Why would we make things hard for you?
âYoung Master Sun, you donât admit that you instructed the waiter to poison Mrs. Gu, so we canât force you to admit it. However, I remember that your familyâs company hasnât been doing well recently. You came to the banquet this time to take this opportunity to get a few collaborations.â
Sun Chuanâs face was pale. His body was stiff, and the blood in his body seemed to have frozen. If looks could kill, he would have died in Gu Zhengâs hands thousands of times. He said in a trembling voice, âThis⦠This has nothing to do with our company. You⦠Youâre forcing me to confess!â
âYoung Master Sun, thereâs no need for you to confess,â Gu Zheng said coldly. He did not even bother to look at Sun Chuan. To him, Sun Chuan was just an ant. There were many ways to punish him. Since there was no evidence to prove that he was the one who instructed the waiter to poison Qiao Xi, there was no need to torture him.
Gu Zheng retracted his gaze and said gently, âXi Xi, the banquet has begun. Letâs go prepare.â
Qiao Xi smiled and nodded, and the two of them entered.
Song Shiyu said respectfully to Yuan Shan, âOfficer Yuan, Iâm really sorry. Our president has decided to withdraw the case. There are some things that we should solve ourselves. Thereâs no need to trouble you.â
Yuan Shan understood what Song Shiyu meant and left with his team. Sun Chuanâs legs went weak as he knelt on the floor, his eyes filled with horror.
â¦
Everyone knew Gu Zhengâs methods. He did not have to deal with a situation himself. As long as Song Shijing made a few calls, the Sun familyâs company would soon fall into a desperate situation.
Qiao Xi and Gu Zheng were still changing in the inner room when Song Shijing knocked on the door. âPresident, Sun Chuanâs father, Sun Kai, is waiting to see you.â
The corners of Gu Zhengâs mouth curled up slightly. There were so many people who wanted to see him, so there was no need for him to see all of them. However, he changed his usual demeanor today. His voice was cold and dignified. âLet him in.â
As soon as the door of the lounge opened, Sun Kai scrambled in. The moment he saw Gu Zheng, it was as if he had seen his savior. He knelt in front of him and cried bitterly. âPresident Gu⦠President Gu, I beg you to let our Sun family off! The company is already in a difficult spot. Once you make a move, our Sun family will be completely doomed! I really donât understand how I offended you. Why do you suddenly want to make things hard for me?!â
He originally wanted to attend Gu Corporationâs banquet and get to know a few more big shots in the business world, but he did not expect that before the banquet even started, his phone would explode. At this moment, the company was almost bankrupt.
After asking around, Sun Kai found out that it was President Gu who arranged this. However, he really did not know how he had offended President Gu that he would take revenge on him like this. He quickly found Song Shijing and asked to see President Gu. Even if he had to die, he had to die in peace.
The lounge was silent. After a long time, Mr. Sun heard a sneer above his head. Gu Zhengâs voice was indifferent. âMr. Sun, do you really want to protect your company?â
