Outside a certain hospital.
Dai Paipai had just parked her car and was opening the door to get out when her phone rang.
It was an old colleague from Paipai Fashion, the former logistics director, Old Ma.
“What? Secretary Li is going to forcefully molest Wang Hong?”
Dai Paipai’s face changed drastically upon hearing this.
She then sneered slightly, “I really didn’t expect some people to be so impatient. Hmm, I’ll go back to the company right away to take a look.”
She hung up the phone and restarted the car.
“Zhao Lianjin, you dare to use such despicable methods to deal with him. I can guarantee that your defeat is sealed!”
Dai Paipai pursed her lips, and a hint of devilish charm appeared on her intellectual and gentle face.
Paipai Fashion—
Wuwuwu!
The piercing sound of police sirens finally stopped.
The employees gathered in front of the office building and by the second-floor corridor windows saw a beautiful special agent (though Ning Xiaolan was no longer young, she was definitely beautiful) quickly enter the lobby, surrounded by several colleagues.
“Get out of the way!”
“Please excuse me.”
“The special agents are here.”
Hearing the commotion from outside the door, Li Qianfan, who had been sitting smoking in the corner of the desk, even playing on his phone, finally got off.
Zhao Lianjin, who was standing behind the door, also showed a pleased expression, rushed out, and extended his hand, “Director Ning, you’ve come in person!”
Director Ning didn’t even glance at Zhao Lianjin’s outstretched hand. She merely nodded indifferently and walked into the finance office.
Then—
Li Qianfan stared blankly as this heroic and spirited special agent suddenly reminded him of his mother, Li Wujiang.
Li Qianfan, as a son, would still be impressed by his mother Li Wujiang’s peerless demeanor when she was in her battle attire.
His mother was the God of War of the Eastern Land.
His mother-in-law was Director Ning of Qingyun.
“No wonder my wife is such a violent woman. Her mother, Mother-in-law, is so domineering at home. It turns out the root cause is here.”
Just as Li Qianfan finally had a moment of enlightenment, he didn’t greet Ning Xiaolan.
During work hours, personal relationships had to take a backseat.
Moreover, after Ning Xiaolan entered, she only glanced at Li Qianfan and didn’t say anything.
Even though it was just a fleeting glance.
Li Qianfan could still discern emotions such as “concern, motherly love, and reassurance” from it.
Having confirmed that her son-in-law was unharmed, Ning Xiaolan finally relaxed.
According to regulations, Ning Xiaolan had to recuse herself as the incident involved a relative.
Although her temper was fiery, she would never make a mistake in such a minor matter.
Under her instruction, her assistant, Xiao Wang, was responsible for handling this incident.
The on-site investigation recorder was turned on.
Everything proceeded according to the formal procedure.
First, Deputy General Manager Zhao Lianjin briefly explained the course of events.
Then, several involved parties would be questioned on the spot.
At this time.
Zhao Shui’s hand had already been bandaged, and he sat pale-faced on a chair.
He spoke with extreme anger, “At that time, I was in logistics discussing with some colleagues whether to have a gathering tonight. When I heard Wang Hong’s cries for help, I immediately ran over with my colleagues. In my haste, I kicked the door open. Coincidentally, I saw Li Qianfan tearing Wang Hong’s clothes.”
“Wait a minute.”
Ning Xiaolan suddenly interjected.
Her gaze was exceptionally sharp as she stared intently at Zhao Shui, “Are you sure that after you broke down the door, you personally saw Li Qianfan tearing Wang Hong’s clothes?”
“Confirmed!”
Zhao Shui felt guilty under Ning Xiaolan’s intense gaze, but he nodded forcefully.
As long as everyone testified together and insisted that they personally saw Li Qianfan forcefully molesting Wang Hong, even if he had a thousand mouths, he wouldn’t be able to explain himself.
After all, the surveillance in the corridor had already “malfunctioned” for maintenance at 4 PM.
Ning Xiaolan said nothing but looked at Xiao Wang.
Xiao Wang understood and asked Zhao Shui, “Besides you, who else personally saw Li Qianfan tearing Wang Hong’s clothes?”
Zhao Tong raised his hand, “Me too.”
Others also raised their hands, testifying that they had personally seen Li Qianfan tearing Wang Hong’s clothes.
Xiao Wang said sternly, “If you are providing false testimony, you will be held responsible!”
The expressions of those who raised their hands to testify immediately changed.
But Ning Xiaolan saw it and sneered inwardly.
Next was the questioning of the “victim,” Wang Hong.
Wang Hong, whose left cheek was swollen like a pig’s head, recounted with tears and snot how Li Qianfan had lewdly taken a liking to her.
Her heart ached terribly—
After questioning Wang Hong and others at the scene, Xiao Wang asked Zhao Lianjin, “Deputy General Manager Zhao, there should be surveillance here, right?”
Zhao Lianjin immediately put on a show and asked the employee in charge of surveillance.
That employee said with great regret that the surveillance had malfunctioned that afternoon and the technicians were working on repairs.
“It’s as expected!”
Ning Xiaolan sneered inwardly again, then frowned.
Wang Hong’s side had a total of seven people who all testified that Li Qianfan had forcefully molested her.
And her good son-in-law only had himself.
This way, even if everyone knew that Li Qianfan, who had just started working at Paipai Fashion on his first day, couldn’t have done such a thing to Wang Hong, the doubts could not be cleared.
Ning Xiaolan cursed Old Su internally, “That old fool, can’t even protect his own son-in-law, and still wants three hundred yuan in pocket money every month?”
Xiao Wang finally began questioning Li Qianfan.
Li Qianfan simply recounted the events truthfully.
He finally explained, “I injured Zhao Shui because after he kicked the door open, he insulted my mother.”
He paused.
He glanced at Ning Xiaolan, then looked at Zhao Shui, “I’ll say it one last time, if anyone dares to insult my mother, this is the best outcome for you!”
Oh my, my good son-in-law.
Why is my nose suddenly getting sore?
If Ziyu dares to bully you again in the future, I’ll whip her to death with my belt!
Ning Xiaolan was extremely moved—
“Director Ning, that’s basically the situation,”
Xiao Wang looked at Ning Xiaolan and said, “Should we take the involved parties back to the station for further investigation?”
It could only be this way.
Ning Xiaolan nodded.
“Wait!”
Just as Li Qianfan was about to utter these two words, he heard someone outside the door say them first.
Everyone instinctively looked up.
They saw Dai Paipai quickly walk into the finance office.
“Director Ning, hello.”
Dai Paipai had already learned her identity from Xiao Wang’s address to Ning Xiaolan.
She extended her hand, “I am Dai Paipai, the general manager of Paipai Fashion.”
When Wang Mingshuai was in charge of Paipai Fashion, Ning Xiaolan had visited a few times on official business, so they were considered acquaintances.
But she had never met Dai Paipai.
Now she had.
“This Dai Paipai is so young and beautiful, especially her gentle and dignified intellectual beauty, which Ziyu yearns for but cannot attain.”
“Yet she chose to promote Qianfan to be her secretary.”
“Could it be that she wants to poach Ziyu’s man?”
“After all, such a mature woman is lethally attractive to a young lad like Qianfan!”
“No.”
“I absolutely cannot let Qianfan work here anymore.”
“Damn Old Su, why didn’t you tell me Dai Paipai would be such an outstanding woman?”
As her thoughts raced, Ning Xiaolan thought of all this.
However, on the surface, her expression remained calm, and she nodded, “Hello, Manager Dai.”
After greeting Ning Xiaolan.
Dai Paipai first looked at Li Qianfan, then turned to Wang Hong.
She said coldly, “I can guarantee with my personal integrity that Secretary Li Qianfan, whom I personally screened, would never forcefully molest a woman like you. This incident is one hundred percent a setup orchestrated by someone, intended to frame Secretary Li and achieve their sinister intentions.”
What do you mean, a woman like me?
Aren’t you publicly humiliating me?
Damn it—
Wang Hong was furious and her mind went blank, and she blurted out, “What integrity do you have, you who are colluding with Zhao Lianjin and poisoned your husband Wang Mingshuai into a vegetative state, you sound like notes!”
Zhao Lianjin heard this.
He secretly thought, “Wang Hong, well done! Your words have publicly confirmed the illicit relationship between me and Dai Paipai. Ha, ha!”
On the surface, however, he roared in anger, “Wang Hong, you, what nonsense are you talking about?”
Dai Paipai’s face suddenly turned red.
She never dreamed that Wang Hong would say such a thing in front of so many people, especially in front of her and Zhao Lianjin.
Dai Paipai trembled with anger but couldn’t speak.
After Wang Hong blurted out those words, she regretted it.
She thought she had offended Zhao Lianjin.
She hurriedly looked at Zhao Lianjin and was about to explain something when she saw him looking at her with approval and a slight nod.
She immediately understood.
Wang Hong put her hands on her hips and shouted at Zhao Lianjin, “How am I talking nonsense? Do you really think I didn’t see you and Dai Paipai fooling around in the general manager’s office last night? The sound you made when you slapped this bitch’s butt could be heard eight miles away!”
Boom—
A surprised roar came from the corridor outside the door.
“I didn’t!”
Dai Paipai’s vision went black, and tears of humiliation burst out.
Instinct compelled her to look at Li Qianfan, who was now standing by the window.
She blurted out, “Dad! Someone is slandering your daughter’s reputation! You, you can’t stand idly by!”
