During this shareholder meeting, Shen Huaiyin was also present. He originally wouldn't have been able to get close to where Ning Zhihong was, but he was too much of a "tea" to resist!
Forced by Shen Huaiyin's persistence, Ning Shunhong had to bring him to the shareholder meeting to broaden his horizons.
Shen Huaiyin remained silent, like an outsider watching from the sidelines. He watched everyone dog-eat-dog and found it truly exhilarating!
Just as everyone was arguing heatedly, the meeting room door was suddenly pushed open.
Everyone exchanged glances, turned around, and was surprised to find Ning Zhiyong, sitting in a wheelchair, pushed by Mei Shulan and the daughter they had recently recognized, Ning Min.
"Ning, President Ning?!"
"Da Yong!!!"
Everyone in the meeting room exclaimed, clearly very surprised by Ning Zhiyong's appearance.
Weren't they told he was still very weak? Weren't they told he was still lying in his hospital room? How could he suddenly appear here?
The moment Ning Zhisheng saw Ning Zhiyong, his face changed immediately, and his tone couldn't help but become sharp, "Zhi Yong? Who let you come?"
After saying that, as if realizing his tone was off, he quickly added, "Big Brother means, your health isn't good, why did you come to the company? Did someone say something to you?"
Everyone knew who he was referring to with "someone," as his gaze was fixed on Ning Min.
Hearing Ning Zhisheng's words, many of the high-level executives in the meeting room involuntarily began to imagine a string of possibilities in their minds.
Most of them believed that the newly returned eldest daughter somehow found out about the shareholder meeting and incited her father to come to the company despite his poor health.
This was undeniably for money.
"Say something? Do I need others to tell me to come here? Isn't this company mine? It's only natural for me to be here."
Ning Zhiyong's words struck Ning Zhisheng one by one, rendering him unable to refute anything.
"Zhi Yong, Big Brother didn't mean that, Big Brother just..."
Ning Zhiyong interrupted him, "Big Brother doesn't need to explain so much to me. You can save your explanations for the police later."
Hearing the word "police," Ning Zhisheng's eyes immediately widened. "What do you mean?!"
Clearly, Ning Zhisheng hadn't anticipated the reason.
"Big Brother has been in charge of the company for two years. You know best what you've done during this time. I entrusted the company to you because I trusted you, but is this how you treat my trust?"
"Zhi Yong, don't listen to others spreading rumors. Big Brother has been diligent in the company and hasn't done anything to betray the company!!"
Hearing his elder brother still trying to quibble, Ning Zhiyong was so angry that he stood up from his wheelchair, walked directly to Ning Zhisheng, and pulled him up from the main seat.
"Haven't done anything to betray the company? Then what's this Shenghong Group outside? You're quite something, using Ning's money and resources to inject capital into your own separate company!
Every year, Ning's Group pays its taxes without fail, directly submitting them. But you, over two years, not only misreported income but even dared to tamper with taxes!
What exactly are you plotting? Do you want our Ning's Group to die, don't you!"
Ning Zhiyong's statement shocked the entire senior management in the meeting room.
They knew that Ning Zhisheng occasionally used company money to fill his own pockets, but that portion was Ning Zhiyong's, so they hadn't said anything.
But now, he had secretly opened another company outside, using company money, which was too much.
Ning's Group had always handled its tax issues exceptionally well, so none of the upper management had ever thought that Zhi Sheng would play dirty with them on taxes!
"Ning Zhisheng, how could you dare!"
"So you intend to ruin Ning's, then pack up and leave to become the CEO of another company? That's quite a clever plan!"
"Ning Zhisheng, is this how you treat us? We've supported you so much!"
...
As the company's upper management continuously denounced Ning Zhisheng, Ning Zhiyong just let out a cold chuckle.
After he fell ill, every single one of these people had their eyes on his shares. Why else would they be willing to follow Ning Zhisheng, if not because Ning Zhisheng was more likely to obtain his shares?
"Bang!"
Ning Zhiyong suddenly punched Ning Zhisheng in the face. This action instantly silenced the entire meeting room.
Ning Zhiyong had recovered quite well during this period, so his strength had increased significantly. The punch landed squarely on Ning Zhisheng, hitting with full force.
Ning Zhisheng, who had always lived a life of pampered luxury, had never been treated this way before. Naturally, he was stunned by Ning Zhiyong's blow.
"Uncle, what are you doing? Why are you hitting my father! Father was so good to you, managing the company for you when you were sick, and even finding your daughter. Is this how you repay him?!"
Ning Shunhong also immediately stepped forward, his tone full of accusation.
It would have been better if Ning Shunhong hadn't brought this up. His mention made Ning Zhiyong's actions even more fierce. After knocking Ning Zhisheng to the ground, he immediately turned towards Ning Shunhong.
"Crash!"
Ning Shunhong was directly slammed by Ning Zhiyong into a shelf at the side of the meeting room, making a crisp sound.
"Pah, you ungrateful wretch, how dare you mention my daughter? Do you think I don't know how my daughter went missing? Do you think I don't know why you went to such great lengths to find her?"
Ning Zhiyong struck with every sentence he spoke. This time, no one dared to speak up for Ning Zhisheng and Ning Shunhong.
They weren't foolish and understood the implication in Ning Zhiyong's words.
Could it be that there was an inside story to the disappearance of the eldest daughter of the Ning family?
That's right, after the eldest daughter of the Ning family disappeared, who was the biggest beneficiary? Wasn't that clear?
But why hadn't they thought of this at the time?
"Unc, Uncle, what are you talking about? What does my sister's disappearance have to do with me? Hiss, that hurts..."
Ning Shunhong, struck by Ning Zhisheng, spoke intermittently, still grimacing in pain.
"Cousin, I've regained my memory."
Ning Min looked at him steadily, and the ruthlessness in her eyes immediately reminded Ning Shunhong of the scene where she fiercely lunged forward and bit his ear.
"You, you actually lied to me!" Ning Zhisheng and Ning Shunhong's eyes widened in disbelief.
At this moment, the sound of knocking echoed in the meeting room again. A group of police officers in uniform rushed in.
The leading police officer took out a badge from his pocket, "Who are Ning Zhisheng and Ning Shunhong? Someone has reported you for involvement in a disappearance case. Please come with us to cooperate with the investigation. This is your arrest warrant."
