The man drooped his head, his gaze drifting aimlessly, his heart filled with anxiety and indecision.
“You prepared everything yourself; on what basis do you expect everyone to obey you?” Di Dongsheng left his seat and walked directly to the man.
He grabbed him from the stage and pulled him towards the exit.
“Three!”
“Two!”
Di Mingjue suddenly began the countdown.
Fearing spending the rest of his life in prison, the man voluntarily broke free from Di Dongsheng’s grasp.
“I’ll tell you everything I know!” The man threw himself in front of Di Mingjue, his hands rubbing incessantly in front of him.
Seeing his state, Di Dongsheng kicked him hard in the backside. “You want to die and drag me down with you?”
His gentlemanly demeanor vanished, revealing his true nature. The shareholders looked at him with disdain, surprised by his vulgarity.
The man, kicked forward, landed prostrate on the ground.
“I told you this has nothing to do with me. Anyone who dares to frame me again will have to face my wrath!” Di Dongsheng threatened him.
Anyone surnamed Di was not to be trifled with. The man became caught between a rock and a hard place, intimidated into silence by both sides.
At this moment, Third Uncle also stood up from his seat.
“Since the matter is in the past, why bring it up again to settle old scores?”
This question was clearly directed at Di Mingjue.
Seeing this, Di Dongsheng was overjoyed. He excitedly went to Third Uncle and agreed, “I see that my cousin doesn’t consider me family at all. Not only does he disregard our brotherhood, but he also slanders me with baseless accusations.”
Slander?
He actually dared to say that.
Seeing the group of unrepentant people, Di Mingjue produced the final piece of evidence, leaving Di Dongsheng with no room to argue.
After leaving Qingshan Village, Di Mingjue not only had information about the charity funds used to build schools but also about Di Dongsheng’s personal embezzlement.
Upon discovering the subordinate he had bribed, he had also uncovered the billions of funds he had siphoned off over the years through charity.
The data was presented one by one, and the shareholders could no longer remain calm. No one was willing to have their collective efforts designed and pocketed by one person.
“Young President Di, is this true? Don’t you owe us an explanation?”
“Yes, we can’t be kept in the dark and treated like fools!”
Di Dongsheng was speechless, his earlier glibness gone.
“For the years I was ill and confined to bed, you managed the company. Although you were momentarily misguided and harbored improper intentions, you still contributed. I will not escalate this matter, nor will I let anyone outside this conference room know. However, you must leave Di Jue Group and leave the capital city,” Di Mingjue delivered his final ultimatum.
Some people couldn't be kept close; he understood the principle of raising a viper in one's bosom.
Banishing him abroad?
Di Dongsheng was unwilling. But the current situation was not favorable to him, and further protests would be futile. He nodded vaguely, not giving a verbal consent.
After the shareholders’ meeting, Di Dongsheng intercepted Third Uncle in the underground parking lot as he was leaving.
“Third Uncle, please let me explain.”
The car door was slammed shut forcefully. Third Uncle, ignoring Di Dongsheng outside the window, ordered his driver to pull away.
Smelling the pungent exhaust fumes, Di Dongsheng panicked completely. Was he truly going to be driven out of the country?
“Dongsheng!”
The call from Di Ruihe echoed from the entrance of the basement above him.
Di Dongsheng had no mood to respond and stood in place, waiting for him to catch up.
“So you’re here.” Di Ruihe put an arm on his shoulder.
In the same place, there were two different moods. Di Dongsheng stood like a block of wood, unable to utter a single word.
