As the online revelations spread, the loan sharks also found the Jiang family.
At this moment, Jiang Wenbin was hiding in his office, while the security guards outside the company were doing their best to block the loan sharks and the reporters from "Qiu Shi" from rushing in.
"Mr. Jiang, they said they won't leave until they see you today!" the secretary nervously reported.
The moment the door opened, Jiang Wenbin thought it was the loan sharks and hid under the desk. Hearing his assistant's voice, he poked half his head out, "Call the police if you can't stop them!"
In fact, they had already called the police the moment the reporters surrounded the company's main entrance. However, the police only came to maintain order and did not take any action to drive them away.
A harsh sound blared from a loudspeaker downstairs. Jiang Wenbin glanced down once and was so frightened by the dense crowd that he retreated.
He cowered, took a deep breath, and touched his thumping chest. "Go tell them I'm not here. Making a scene here is useless. When I return, I will naturally give them an explanation."
The secretary left with his words.
Alone in the office, leaving seemed impossible. Jiang Wenbin took out his phone and saw that Xu Jingya had called.
He quickly dialed back. The other party took a long time to answer.
Crackling sounds came from the other end, along with Xu Jingya's screams and shouts of obstruction.
"Xu Jingya?" Jiang Wenbin yelled into the phone.
At the Jiang residence, Xu Jingya was knocked to the ground while trying to stop burly men from moving furniture. Seeing that their belongings were about to be cleared out, she helplessly and anxiously called for help on the phone, "Wenbin, where are you? Come back quickly. A group of people suddenly came to the house and are clearing out everything."
Neither the company nor home was a safe place. These people were aggressive, and they couldn't resist.
"Where is Feifei?" Jiang Wenbin asked.
A howl came from Xu Jingya on the other end, and the call was interrupted.
Before Jiang Wenbin could redial, he heard hurried footsteps outside his office.
His hands paused, and he quickly hid under the desk, pulling a stool to block himself.
"Our Mr. Jiang is really not here. You should go back first!"
The female secretary's voice grew closer.
With a bang, the office door was kicked open from the outside.
A group of men in black suits, broad and strong, pushed past the female secretary and rushed in.
The office was empty; there was no sign of anyone.
The female secretary, relieved after a false alarm, ran to the front of them to explain, "Our Mr. Jiang is really not here. You should go back first. When Mr. Jiang returns, he will contact you."
The leading man exchanged glances with his companions. The others spread out and searched every corner. Every possible hiding spot in the office was thoroughly searched, leaving the room as chaotic as if it had been ransacked.
As they were about to leave after finding nothing, Yue'er's ringtone suddenly rang out from the office.
Jiang Wenbin fumbled to turn it off, but the sound only got louder instead of disappearing.
*Clang!*
The office chair blocking his way was thrown aside.
Jiang Wenbin held his breath, looking at the half-exposed legs.
*Thump thump thump!*
"Mr. Jiang, we've been looking so hard!" the man said, lowering his head, a terrifying smile on his plump face.
Jiang Wenbin was easily pulled out from under the desk like a chick.
He clung to the man's arm, hastily explaining, "I... I was looking for my phone. Please let go first. Let's talk properly, properly."
Seeing his cowardly demeanor, the man let go and sat down on the sofa.
The female secretary had already been subdued by someone. Now, she was trembling with fear and dared not utter a sound.
"Talk properly?" the man asked, looking at Jiang Wenbin coldly. "Did you call the police at the door?"
