Liu Xu blocked the main entrance, pleading, "Mr. Yuan, just two days, please help me."
"Miss Liu, I stand by my words. As long as you agree to have dinner with me, forget two days, I don't even need the twenty million!" 138 Reading Net.
Liu Xu remained silent. How could she not understand what Yuan Minghai's dinner invitation entailed? It was nothing more than getting her to drink with him, then taking advantage of her when she was drunk.
"Mr. Yuan, I cannot agree to your terms."
"Hmph, you refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Yuan Minghai roared, ordering his men to push Liu Xu aside and prepare to affix the seal.
"Wait!"
Hearing the voice, everyone turned to look.
The newcomer was Su Yang. He had just parked his car and, seeing so many people gathered at his neighbor's door, had come over.
"Su Yang?"
Upon seeing him, everyone's expression changed. Liu Xu was excited, while Li Haoyuan's face turned pale with panic. As a native of Songhai, he knew how close Su Yang was to Zong Ze.
Yuan Minghai felt as if he were facing a formidable enemy. Su Yang owned countless businesses; buying out Dodge Apparel Company ten times over would be trivial for him.
"What do you mean? Why are you sealing Miss Liu's villa?"
Li Haoyuan quickly replied, "Director Su, our Legal Affairs Bureau is merely carrying out its duties. This is the appeal letter from Dodge Apparel Company. You can take a look."
Su Yang took it and, after a brief glance, had a general idea of the situation.
"The contract expires today, and you're already in such a rush to seal the villa?"
"This..."
Li Haoyuan from the Legal Affairs Bureau was speechless. For anyone else, he would have retorted immediately. But this was Su Yang, backed by powerful figures; he dared not offend him.
Yuan Minghai, though a little intimidated, was unwilling to let this golden opportunity slip away.
"Director Su, Miss Liu's factory machinery is broken. Even if she had another half-day, she wouldn't be able to deliver."
Yuan Minghai believed that with the contract in hand, Su Yang could do nothing to him.
"Her business is my business!"
Liu Xu was surprised and delighted, thinking how fortunate she was to have such a neighbor.
Yuan Minghai was unwilling to give up. He knew Su Yang was wealthy; twenty million was a mere trifle for him.
"Director Su, this is a matter between Miss Liu and myself. I hope you won't interfere."
"I've already said it, her business is my business!"
Su Yang walked up the steps and stood protectively in front of Liu Xu.
Yuan Minghai's face darkened. "Director Su, I advise you not to meddle in other people's affairs!"
Seeing Yuan Minghai's resolute attitude, Su Yang used his clairvoyance on him.
Su Yang saw that Yuan Minghai, Li Haoyuan, and people from Yasi Group's business department were dining and drinking together. They had conspired to scheme against Liu Xu. Yuan Minghai had paid a considerable sum to have the business department sign the contract. Li Haoyuan was responsible for forcing Liu Xu to yield, threatening to legally seal Yasi Group and Liu Xu's villa if she refused.
Su Yang smiled and pointed at Yuan Minghai, "You took illegal substances in the KTV the night before last, and your excitement led to the death of a hostess."
"You can discuss this with the Security Bureau shortly!"
Su Yang took out his phone and called Zong Ze.
Yuan Minghai's face turned ashen. He remembered clearly that he had covered his tracks. How did Su Yang find out?
"Su Yang, don't spew baseless accusations without evidence!"
"You disposed of the body in Taohua Village in the suburbs, did you really think no one would know?"
Yuan Minghai's face turned ashen, his legs went weak, and he knelt on the ground.
"Young Master Su, please spare me. I promise I won't bother Miss Liu again, and I'll forget about the money."
"Young Master Su, I have elderly parents and young children. My mother is already eighty. I hope you can show leniency!"
Su Yang kicked Yuan Minghai away. "You took drugs, fine, but why did you have to kill and dismember? You trash!"
Upon hearing that Zong Ze was coming, Li Haoyuan didn't dare to linger and quietly left with his men.
"Li Haoyuan, as a law enforcement officer, you broke the law. First bribery, then soliciting prostitutes, you have quite the nerve!"
"Young Master Su, you can't just make accusations because Director Zong backs you up. As a law enforcement officer, how could I commit such a mistake?"
Li Haoyuan forced himself to remain calm, refusing to admit anything.
Su Yang smiled. "The night before last, you were in plain clothes, dining and drinking with Yuan Minghai and people from Yasi Group's business department in a private room at Huatianju Chinese Restaurant. Do you think I wouldn't know what you were up to?"
Hearing this, Li Haoyuan's vision went black, and he collapsed to the ground. With such precise details of the location, who he was with, and what they were doing, all known to Su Yang, Li Haoyuan was in despair. A long prison sentence awaited him.
Liu Xu, standing nearby, finally reacted. "Director Su, were people from my company involved?"
"Yes, people from your company's business department signed the contract, deliberately setting a trap for you."
The legal representative of a company is often the first to suffer when things go wrong.
"I trusted him so much, and they actually deceived me..."
Liu Xu was deeply hurt, betrayed by her own company's employees.
...
A short while later.
Zong Ze arrived at Longpan No. 2 with his men.
"Take them all away!"
"Yes, sir!"
The security bureau officers dragged Yuan Minghai and Li Haoyuan into the vehicles.
Zong Ze said, "Brother Su, why don't I just give you my position as director?"
Su Yang was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"A murder and body disposal case, and I hadn't even heard about it, yet you've solved it. You're far better than those so-called 'detectives'."
"Brother Zong, I just happened to run into it. I'm nowhere near capable of taking your position."
"Alright, there are many matters at the bureau. I won't disturb you any longer."
Zong Ze waved goodbye and left in a hurry with his men.
Liu Xu softly remarked, "Director Zong always seems to have endless work."
"Never mind him for now. Why didn't you ask me for help when your company lacked operating funds?"
"Director Su, you've already helped me so much. I was too embarrassed to trouble you further."
"Nonsense, I don't fear trouble."
Su Yang smiled and, without further ceremony, walked into the villa.
Liu Xu lived alone, and the house was very clean. Several bouquets of fresh flowers were arranged in the living room. Liu Xu straightened her hair and then boiled water to make tea.
"Miss Liu, why don't you sell me some shares of Yasi Group?"
"Director Su, do you even care about my small business?"
"Mainly, I'm worried you won't be able to manage it and don't want to ask for help. Your personality is only suited to be a boss's wife!"
Liu Xu was bewildered. "What does running a company have to do with being a boss's wife?"
"Of course, it does! When you face problems, you can only rely on yourself. If you marry an excellent man, you won't have to ask for help anymore!" Su Yang said with a serious expression. Liu Xu suddenly understood.
"You mean you want me to be your woman, right?"
"I, Su, am honest and upright, and indeed a reliable person. If Miss Liu is willing, I will certainly not let you down!"
Hearing this, Liu Xu rolled her eyes. Su Yang's women were almost enough to fill the villa, yet he claimed to be honest and upright.
Liu Xu handed him a cup of tea. "Since Director Su is interested in the apparel business, I can transfer 30% of my shares to you."
Liu Xu held 81% of Yasi Group's shares. Even after selling 30%, she would still be the majority shareholder.
"Then calculate the amount, and I'll have the finance department transfer the funds immediately!"
